The sun slowly dipped into retreat at the sight of the pale glow from the growing moon. The crickets began their nightly symphony as the birds quelled the chirps of the day. In the scenic, central park of Worchester, Katie sat on the rose wood bench observing the Van Gough painting forming above her. The starry sky signaled the love lorn couples taking their evening walk that it was time to go home. Katie took one final look at the full bloom roses rushing into their final hours. Sighing she followed the public example and began her journey home on the muggy autumn evening.
Katie strolled down the cracked sidewalk, dodging the newly formed puddles. The faint, yellow light of the street lamps safely guided her back to the two floor studio loft. Looking back with nostalgia one last time, Katie walked up her porch steps, opened the heavy oak door, and reluctantly entered her empty home.
As she closed the door, Katie saw the flashing red light of her answering machine.
Beep.
"Hey Katie. It's Shannon. I won't be home tonight. I'm going out with Shawn. Don't wait up sweetie. I'm not sure when I'll be home."
Beep.
Katie took a look around the living room and saw the mess left behind. "Shannon, you have got to be the worst roommate ever," she thought. "Nah, I guess your just your normal Shannony self."
Katie snatched up a trash bag lying on the kitchen counter and began to clean her friend's mess. She was tossing empty pop cans into the bag when she saw her high school year book lying on the end table.
She dropped the bag of trash and slowly opened the cover reading the signatures and sayings from her former friends.
"Hey Katie, good luck with college. I hope we can keep in touch and still be friends. I had a blast this year. Thanks for all the good times." ~ Jen.
"Kat. Stay cool. Don't let that dork Alex bring you down. J/K. Seriously, you two look so happy together I hope everything works out. At least you'll be going to the same school, so that's cool. You know where I'll be if you ever need a friend, or someone to talk to. I still care for you honey, even if we're no longer together." ~Rick
"Katie, my love. You've made these past few years the best ones of my life. I can't wait until the summer passes so we can finally be married. It's all I've been talking about at home. Mom is excited. You know she really does love you. You'll always have a family with us. Remember that. You mean more to me than mere words could ever describe. The thought that brings me the most happiness is knowing that I'll get to take care of you the rest of your life. For the rest of my life. Only a few short months. Then we get to be married. I can't wait. Especially for our wedding night. Just think about it. Romantic candles. Soft music. Most importantly. Us. Alone. I can't wait...to see you naked. He he he. I love you. I always will. You mean the world to me. Someday I'll give it all back to you. I'll give you the world. I better stop now. I seem to be taking up most of this page. You don't want to read me blathering on and on anyway. You know, on and on, not really saying anything. Just taking up space so no one else can write. You know those people. I hate those people. Just keep going and going and...Ow! I better stop since you just hit me..." ~ Alex
Katie had to put the book down. Reading what Alex wrote always made her depressed. She dragged herself over to her beige, plump couch and plopped down. Instinctually she turned on the television, but didn't pay attention to the flashing images or the piercing sound as her mind drifted.
She began to softly hum a romantic song that was played during the senior prom. A smile formed slowly on Katie's face as she recalled the way Alex slid his hands around her hips and drew her in close to dance. She giggled as she thought of how terrible he was at dancing but did it anyway because she enjoyed it.
Katie couldn't believe that Alex proposed to her during prom. As she sat on the couch her cheeks blushed deep red when she remembered him bending down to one knee.
Ron Popeil began to pull her back to the living room. As she watched the same infomercial that always aired at this time of day, she began to notice her body becoming needing.
She thought to herself, "Damn you Alex. You always know how to get me going. Now you're not even here to take care of my needs. Well, I'll just have to take care of myself...again. At least I can always imagine the wedding night that I never got. I think I'll take my time tonight. Shannon's gone. The place is quite. I'll have a little bit of fun."
With that thought she smiled and began to let her mind slip further away from reality as the picture of her wedding night came into focus.
Katie was being gently placed on the floor, just beyond the threshold of her new apartment, by her new husband. She lifted her hand to brush his beaming cheek. She couldn't wait to give him the best wedding present she could think of, herself. Staring into his soulful blue eyes, she grazed her finger tips down the side of his firm cheekbones and danced them across his full lips. Gliding down the corner of his mouth to the base of his chin, she wrapped back up the nape of his neck and held the base of his head as she pulled his lips to hers.
His breathing became short and shallow as his excitement and anticipation grew. As his lips brushed intolerably close, Katie pulled away and used her hands to loosen his tie and tuxedo buttons around his neck. Her teasing became a torment as Alex grew in want and desire. She eased off his tie and tossed it down on the couch. After unbuttoning the top buttons of his shirt, she pulled him into her quick and hard. Her lips thrust at his and parted them without delay. Her tongue found a home safely in his mouth. Playing and toying with his, Katie's tongue explored all the new sensations that he provided.
His soft whimpers filled her with delight and joy. She always wanted to reduce him to putty in her hands. For so long his broad, strong arms cared for her and nurtured her. This was her gift of repayment. She wanted to please him in every sense. She wanted to be a good wife.
Her gasps quickened and became more labored in the confining dress. She pressed her arms against his shoulders and pried herself away from him. She was enjoying every delicious taste, but wanted to savor each moment. She glanced into his eyes once more and saw a fire building. He lusted after her. She could see it. She wanted it.
He lunged for her and wanted to drink deep from her kisses again, but she stepped back and held him firmly by the hands. She looked sternly at him, trying to calm him down. He was moving too fast for her.
"Not just yet my love," she said to him.
She paused to capture his every movement. His lips moistened slightly. His arms balked at the confinements of his tight tux. Beneath the clasped buttons she could see his well defined chest begging to be set free. Her eyes ventured lower to observe every little detail of her new husband. She wanted to keep this picture in her mind forever. As her looks wandered lower, she saw his growing bulge. She giggled to herself inside. She had never seen him naked before and was still a little shy.
She wormed slowly into his body. Her soft breasts pressed firmly into his chest and rubbed his tight arms under his shirt. She inhaled his scent and let out a slight sigh of content. Committing this moment to her memory forever, she snuggled firmly into him.
