Standing in front of the large brick apartment building Amy could feel the butterfly's grow in her stomach. Taking a deep breath she rechecked the number on the building. Arriving at the door she found the apartment number that Ryan had sent her. As she pushed the button and waited she realized she was grinning. Calm down, she told herself. The door clicked. One last deep breath before she headed inside.
Making her way up the stairs she started to wonder what was actually going to happen. They hadn't seen each other in years. There had always been chemistry between them but they never seemed to be single at the same time. At least they had never tried and failed at a relationship. She hoped this wouldn't end badly and end their friendship.
Reaching the door, Ryan opened it before she knocked. There he was looking just like he did when they were in high school. His apartment looked much like she thought it would. It was a bachelor pad of sorts. Amy made herself comfortable on the couch as Ryan shuffled some of the mess around.
"I didn't get a chance to take a shower yet." Ryan playfully told her. "Would you like to get in there with me?" He asked her with a smile.
"I'm good, I actually took one earlier today." Amy told him, not really knowing how she should have responded. Did he want her to join him? Had she missed the opportunity and now it was gone forever?
Amy could hear the shower turn on. Her mind was racing, she couldn't decide if she should go join him or not. "You can come in here and talk to me!" Ryan yelled from the shower. Amy sat on the couch frozen, was he inviting her into the shower again?
Slowly Amy made her way to the bathroom. She leaned against the counter. "How's it going in there?" She asked, not knowing what else to say. They made small talk about people from high school and where they were now while Ryan finished his shower.
Much to Amy's surprise Ryan pulled back the shower curtain, exposing his wet naked body in all its glory. Ryan was no longer the boy she knew in high school he had transformed in to a man, his years in the Army had been good to him. Amy shyly looked away, she wanted to look but thought it inappropriate. As he reached to the towel Amy couldn't help but look, she was not disappointed. Feeling very uncomfortable she walked out of the bathroom to let him dry off in private, not that he seemed to want or need the privacy.
Ryan came back into the living room, he was wearing a tee shirt and basketball shorts. Amy smiled, even though so much time had passed since high school things felt very relaxed between them. Ryan walked over to the couch, standing next to Amy he took her by the hand and pulled her up. They stood there inches apart, neither one doing anything.
