I kept staring at the screen like an idiot eagerly anticipating a reply. I could feel my heart beating louder with every passing second. My hands holding the phone were almost trembling. I never felt time pass so slow.
After 5 minutes, he replied! He replied with the same heart emoji! But those 5 minutes he made me wait were like the longest 5 minutes of my life!
And now I was grinning from ear to ear. I texted him back.
Me: I had a great time!
Now I was nervous. I was wondering how long he was going to make me wait for a response this time. But I was wrong. This time he replied quickly.
Macho: I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope you reached home safely.
Me: Yes, I did. I looked at the pictures too, and I guess what I did? Gosh! I'm shy!
Macho: Hey...uh, I hope I was not too rough with you. I kinda feel I could have been a bit more...uh say...gentle. I didn't mean to make you cry.
Me: No, not at all! I'm fine, and honestly, I kinda needed it. I've been hurting for a while now, crying out loud just made me feel better.
Macho: I'm glad you are feeling better. Maybe you should get some sleep. Let's chat later. Good night.
Me: Good night!
I put my phone aside and closed my eyes. I was feeling relaxed and satisfied, sexually and emotionally. I drifted off into a deep sleep.
When I woke up the next morning, my roommate Helena was already there! I was all naked under the sheets and she kinda knew it. She gave me a naughty smile.
"Looks like someone has been having a good time," she said.
"Helena!" I said, "You are back already? I wasn't expecting you so soon."
"Yeah, bad weather," she said, "We had to cancel most of our plans. But I am glad I am home early to catch my roommate being naughty."
"Helena, you won't believe what happened last night!!!" I chirped in enthusiasm.
"Esteban was here?" she asked.
"What Esteban?" I retorted, "I broke up with that asshole. He was cheating on me!"
"Seriously?" Helena asked, her large eyes widening even more, "I'm so sorry dear. Here, lemme give you a penguin hug to make you feel better."
Helena hugged me, and I smiled.
"But, hey, you know I met this new guy," I said, blushing a bit.
"Tell me all about him!!!" she screamed in excitement, "Where did you meet him? What's his name? What does he look like? What did you guys do? I wanna know all the details!!!"
"Okay..." I said, "I don't know his name, he didn't tell me."
"What the hell?" she said.
"I know right," I said, "Okay, so the first time I met him, I was drunk af. But he was such a sweetheart and he dropped me home!"
"Aaaaaannd?" she asked
"And he said something very naughty to me," I said, "I am not sure if he even said it, but I think he did. But, the only way to find out was to find him. And I found him in the same pub where I met him and then we went over to his place and..."
"Gosh! I'm so excited!!!" Helena said, "What happened at his place?"
I showed her the pictures on my phone.
"OMG!!! Shalini!!!" she said, "This is WILD!!!!"
"I know," I said, my cheeks turning red as I blushed.
"But hey, those pictures are only of you," Helena said, "I want to see what he looks like!! Is he like, hot?"
"I haven't clicked a picture of him," I said, "But hey, I have his number and we have been texting. Lemme show you his profile picture."
Helena was so excited when she looked at his profile picture. "OMG!!! He is hot!!" she said, "Look at that hat!!!"
"Yeah, I loved his eyes! And the way he talks is even hotter," I said, "And he is such a tease you know!!!"
"I can imagine!!" Helena said, "And hey you saved his number as Macho!"
"That's the kind of vibe he gave me," I said, blushing wildly, "He is like, one of those high testosterone guys."
"So, Macho it is!!!" Helena said, "Tell me more!!! Did you guys do anything?"
She winked at me and gave me a naughty smile.
"Oh no, not yet," I said, "I told you he was a tease. But he is also a sweetheart. You know the kinda mess I've been after I found out about Esteban. He says he wants me to feel okay first."
"That's very thoughtful of him," she said, "Soooo he is hot, plus he's a sweetheart. You better not let him go girl!"
"Yes, indeed," I said with a soft smile.
"So, when are you meeting him next?" she asked.
"I don't know," I said, "Probably next weekend, work's kinda hectic this week."
I eagerly waited for the weekend. I was about to text Macho, but I got a pleasant surprise when I saw his text already.
Macho: Wassup? Got any plans for the weekend?
Me: Not yet, how about we make some plans?
Macho: Sure! What have you got on your mind?
Me: I wanna come over to your place. I really liked it there. Had some of the best fun moments of my life last weekend.
Macho: Sure, you want me to come pick you up?
Me: I'd love that. I'm going to dress casual and I won't wear lipstick this time...lol
Macho: Haha, I loved that bright red one, but okay, as you wish...lol
When the weekend was finally here, I began to get ready for the date. I wore a sexy white top and short denim skirt. I smiled at the mirror while I was doing my hair. Helena was watching me and smiled.
"So, someone's going to be naughty, huh?" Helena said with a mischievous smile, "Look at that tiny skirt!!!"
"Well, babe," I said, winking at her "If I've got it, I gotta flaunt it!"
She smiled and winked.
"Have fun babe!" she said, "And when you come back, I wanna know everything. And by everything I mean E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G!!! No secrets from the penguin, okay?"
"No secrets babe," I said, "Penguin Promise!"
We heard honking near the gate of our house and we saw his car. Helena saw him from the window and nearly shrieked in excitement!!
"OMG Shalini!!" she screamed, "He looks so much better than the pictures!!!"
"I know right!!!" I said and we both did the girl scream for like 30 seconds straight.
I am pretty sure Macho could see us screaming like crazy! I'm not sure if he understands the girl scream language, there are different frequencies of the girl scream for different things. Naaah, only girls understand that, it is beyond the feeble comprehension of any man.
So, I hopped into his car and we drove to his place. I was excited all along.
"So, how was your week?" he asked.
"It was pretty wet," I said.
"Wet, what?" he asked. He was clearly taken aback at my direct remark and that made me laugh.
