He had waited over a year for this moment. Ever since he first laid eyes on her, he knew he must have her. It was a feeling that had stayed with him since their first hello. Now, It seemed his dreams would become reality at last! When he looked into her dark eyes, Joe could tell that Diane was just as eager and excited as he was. There was no mistaking the sparkle in her eyes for anything but what it was, her overwhelming joy in finally being with the man she so loved.
He lost himself in her gaze, and was somewhat startled when she finally spoke. "I see you survived the flight," she said, teasing him about his fear of flying. He collected himself quickly and replied, "Yes, but it feels so good to be back on the ground" as he took her in his arms and hugged her tightly, enjoying the way her body felt pressed against his.
Her smile was as bright as the sparkle in her eyes. He loved this woman, and he could not wait to show her how much she meant to him. "What do you say we get some lunch and get re-acquainted honey?" he asked, noting the slight rumble in his stomach. It was a four-hour flight, and he had slept through lunch on the plane. "I'd love that" she replied, and off they went to a nearby restaurant. It was a cozy place. Soft lighting, and a fireplace near the corner table they were seated at. Each of them ate sparingly, still excited to be sitting across from their long awaited soul mate. After a small dinner, and a lot of overt flirting, Joe paid the bill, and they went to get him checked in at the hotel he was to stay at. Diane hung on his arm like a teenager with her first crush. Joe didn't mind one bit. He loved this woman, so beautiful and warm, her smile enough to stop a man in his tracks.
After checking in at the hotel, Joe grabbed his suitcase, and they found the elevators. The first one available opened, and there were a few people on it, waiting for them to get on. They each took a quick glance at each other, and knew not to board. They wanted to be alone. The second one to come down had two people on it, but they got off, leaving the elevator empty. They hurried inside, and hoped nobody else would get on. Joe pressed the button that told the elevator to take them to the 23rd floor, and as soon as the doors closed, they were wrapped in each other's arms, kissing and groping each other as if they had anticipated this moment forever. They were both disappointed when the elevator reached its destination, but at the same time excited that they would soon be sprawled out with each other, wrapped in a loving embrace, and freeing themselves of the year long lust that had built up inside.
