It was still dark when the cell phone alarm went off. A hand reached out and hit the snooze button. In the bed next to the small table on which the cell phone was perched, two bodies turned over. They moved close together and intertwined.
"Is it time to get up already?"
"I guess so."
"But it's too early."
"No rest for the wicked."
The couple pulled the sheets off their bodies and stood. It was 5:30AM in Washington, DC, which meant the start of the day for Jake and Stephanie Lee.
"You get showered, and I'll get breakfast," Jake said.
"Not going to join me?" Stephanie said slyly.
"Not if we want to get to work on time," Jake replied.
"Suit yourself," Stephanie teased.
Jake watched as his gorgeous wife headed to the bathroom. She was twenty-eight years old and stood at five feet, nine inches tall, she was a sight to behold. She was a fit 148 pounds with a 32C chest. She had straight brown hair that extended just past her shoulders and seductive hazel eyes. She was also very intelligent. For Jake, she was the complete woman and his perfect match.
Stephanie could say the same about her husband. He was a handsome twenty-eight years old, standing at an even six feet tall with a muscular body. He had short blond hair and ice-blue eyes. The eyes, Stephanie always said, were his most striking feature. They seemed to stare right through whatever they looked. She was fond of saying she wondered if Jake could see into someone's soul with those eyes.
Jake headed downstairs to the kitchen. He got a pot of coffee going and placed two cinnamon-raisin bagels in the toaster-oven. He went to the fridge and pulled out the pitched of orange juice and poured himself and Stephanie a glass. The bagels soon finished. Jake pulled them out, spread cream cheese on them, and took them and the glassed of juice upstairs.
"Breakfast!" he called as he entered the bedroom.
Stephanie had just emerged from the shower and was totally nude. Jake eyed his wife's hot naked body. She walked over to him and placed a warm sensual kiss on his mouth. She reached down. Her husband was erect. She pulled back and smiled.
"Good," she said. "Just one kiss, and I can get you hard."
"You always were a master a sensuality," Jake said. "Now eat your bagel before it gets cold."
"And you go shower," Stephanie said.
Jake peeled his t-shirt and boxers off. Stephanie watched her husband as he undressed and walked to the bathroom. She heard the water turn on. Had she not showered already, she would join her husband. She always loved showering with him; it was intimate time together. Sure, shower sex was always erotic and amazing, but she also liked just being under the hot water with her man, washing each other and talking. Sometimes it was more intimate, more romantic, than sex. Stephanie quickly ate her bagel and began to get dressed. Jake emerged from the bathroom a few minutes later, a towel wrapped around his waist. Stephanie looked at him lustfully.
"What?" Jake asked.
"You're so sexy, Jake," Stephanie said. "I was just having a flashback...to the night we first fucked."
Six Years Earlier...
They had finally done it. After four long years and countless hours of classes, writing papers, and time in the library, they had graduated. The Georgetown University Class of 2012 was in full party mode. The official graduation ceremony had finished hours earlier, and the newly minted graduates were partying at one of DC's hottest nightclubs, The Senate. The club was owned by the father of of the graduating students, and he had generously closed the club to the public for the night to allow the students one final night of revelry before real life kicked in. Jake and his friends Carl and Josh walked in and surveyed the room. They saw an empty table and quickly moved to it.
"I'll get beers," Carl said.
Carl headed off to the bar to grab their drinks. Jake and Josh looked around, seeing if there were any cute girls around. Jake was just turning back around to face Josh when someone caught his eye. A couple tables away was a drop-dead gorgeous brunette with a tight body. She was with two friends, a blond and another brunette. They were sipping their drinks, fancy drinks the looks of the glasses, and giggling. Carl returned with their beers.
"Cheers, mates," he said. "We finally did it."
"Yeah, and tomorrow real life begins," Josh said. "What a bummer."
They both noticed their friend still staring at the other table. Carl smiled.
"Which one do you fancy?" he asked.
"The brunette," Jake said, forgetting there were two.
"Which one?" Josh asked.
"Oh, the one that keeps glancing over here," Jake replied. "She's hot!"
"Why don't you send her a drink?" Carl asked.
Jake turned to Carl and stared, flabbergasted.
"How am I supposed to know what she's drinking?" Jake asked.
"Looks like a whiskey sour to me," Josh said.
Josh was an alcohol connoisseur. He could tell what a drink was merely by smelling it or by what glass it was in. He said it was a gift; Carl and Jake thought it was from too many parties. Jake left the table and walked to the bar.
"What can I get you?" the bartender asked.
"Not for me, for the table over there," Jake said, pointing. "For the brunette in the little black dress. Whiskey sour, please."
"No problem," the bartender said.
Jake walked back to the table. A moment later a waitress delivered the drink. Jake watched as the girl in the black dress asked who sent it. The waitress pointed over at him. He raised his beer bottle. She smiled and raised her glass, then took a sip and smiled again. Her friends giggled.
At the ladies' table, Stephanie giggled with Ella and her best friend and roommate, Mandy.
"He's cute," Mandy said, checking him out.
"Stop, Mandy," Stephanie said "I said tonight is about us. No hooking up with random guys."
"Why the hell not?" Ella said. "They're all cute. I'd take any of them back to my room."
"You're such a slut," Mandy joked.
"Pot, kettle," Ella retorted.
The guys at the table seemed to be discussing something. Then two of them walked over. Carl and Josh introduced themselves and asked Ella and Mandy to dance. The ladies happily went off to the dance floor with the guys. That left Jake and Stephanie alone at their respective tables. Stephanie picked up her drink and walked over to the other table.
"Hi," she said. "I'm Stephanie."
"Jake. So you graduated too, I guess."
