I walk in with a loud group of friends laughing and talking. From across the room, our eyes meet almost immediately. Your penetrating stare takes my breath away and I'm momentarily speechless. I quickly tear my gaze away from you, only to return to the same brown eyes.
My friends pull me back into their conversation, but it's hard to concentrate on my friend's story. Suddenly, the chatter and the laughter stop. I know it's you. I can feel you standing behind me even before you reach out to me. Everyone is staring as I slowly turn around. You smile as our eyes meet.
"Hello, I'm pretty sure I know you from somewhere."
My heart stutters. Smiling, "Yes, you do."
Your head leans to one side as you contemplate my answer.
"It's been several years, peaches."
Blushing, you know I remember all too well. Memories of online bubble baths, Yahoo messaging, shower pics and friendship flash between us.
"It's been too long, Rob." You slowly nod your head in agreement.
We settle into the usual back and forth banter that always came easy between the two of us. The night moves quickly and my friends are ready to leave. I'm torn. I don't want to leave you. As I say goodnight, I quietly mention to you where we are staying. You nod and smile. Our eyes speak while our lips remain quiet. I take one last look back as I leave the bar.
A couple of hours pass and my thoughts wander to our chance meeting. It was so good to see you again. We still click even after all these years. A soft knock on the door pulls me from the past. I jump up to open the door, half expecting to see one of my friends, and there you stand.
A look of uncertainty crosses your face, then a grin slowly forms when you see your favorite smile on me. We stand there staring at one another. Oh, the rush of memories!
Then your strong arms wrap around me and pull me against you as your lips touch mine. Tenderly you kiss me, then with much urgency our kiss intensifies and we fall backward into the room. Our hands pulling, tugging, unbuttoning the fabric that separates our yearning bodies. Your mouth travels from my red lips down my neck to my exposed breasts.
