After jumping out of the shower and throwing on some jeans I hear a knock at the door, running my towel through my drying hair I walk toward the door. Through the glass door I see Amanda a friend I have not seen in over six months. Meeting almost a year ago while I was studying abroad in the UK it seems years since I have seen her. Before I can say a word she throws her arms around me kissing me on the cheek, I return the favor and ask for her bag. She slides an old backpack off her shoulders and hands it to me. As she enters the door I start to give a brief tour. Walking through the living room I point out the kitchen, guest room, and my room. She walks around to the couch and sits down as I take her bag into the guest room.
Landing on the couch next to her I ask "how was the flight."
"Exhausting!" She exclaims as she lays out on the cough.
"Would you like to get some dinner?" I ask.
"Yes, just let me get cleaned up I've been on a plane all day." she replies with her amazing British accent, which I immediately fall in love with all over again. With that Amanda hops up from the couch and disappears behind the door of the guest bedroom.
As I relax on the couch I remember all the memories we shared during my semester at the University of London. She was like my tour guide meeting her in a small shopping center she noticed my American accent and asked me why I was in London. After telling her I was doing a semester of study, and didn't really have any connections she saw it her place to show me around. During my brief stay she took me to all the best Pubs and Restaurants. While for whatever reason we never dated during that time. I had always had feelings for her and I suspected she did as well. Before departing I offered her the same courtesy she had shown me if she ever felt like a vacation to Florida.
With my eyes closed the door opens and out steps Amanda with a sleek black dress and a pair of stilettos that would make any man's mouth drop. "Ready," she says in an innocent voice as if she doesn't know the temperature just went up about ten degrees. Slightly dazed I recover as I open the door and we walk out to the truck. Driving to one of my favorite ocean side restaurants we begin to catch up on the past. She tells me about her new job, some new friends that I just have to meet, and adventures she's taken. I begin to tell her about my recent schooling and how I'm about to graduate but with me nothings really changed. Pulling up to the restaurant I can tell we've made it just in time to see the sun set.
As the waiter seats us at our table we order a few drinks jack n coke for me and martini for her. As we order I can tell the waiter cant keep his eyes off Amanda, and honestly who can blame him. Standing about five foot seven with the aid of her four inch stilettos. The black dress that hugs her slender body extenuating every curve, and the long dark hair that flows down to the small of her back. All this countered only by her glowing green eyes that appear as if they look straight through you. As the night wears on we enjoy our meal on the ocean where not even the most beautiful of sunsets could distract my eyes from the woman in front of me. A perfect body she truly is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen
Getting late and a little buzzed I can tell she is starting to feel the effects of her long day and we decide to call it a night and head out to the truck. As I open the door for her she turns to me and says "That was truly an amazing dinner," she then leans in and again kisses me on the cheek. Slightly disappointed I run my hand through her long dark hair and kiss her on the forehead. On the way home she doses off and I cant help but stare at her in her black dress looking so peaceful, so content, so beautiful.
