I had a great experience recently that was not only unexpected but unforgettable.
While seeing a friend off at the international terminal, I saw a young woman who looked very familiar. I introduced myself, and we were not only from the same small town, but I had attended the same school as her mum and dad, and I'd met her several times when she was much younger. I moved closer to the city for convenience when I went to university.
Jessie explained that she had just farewelled her parents; they'd gone on an overseas holiday and were not due back for three weeks. Jessie wasn't keen to drive back home in the dark, so I invited her to join me for a coffee at one of the airport's many cafés and catch up on what her mum and dad were up to and what was happening in my old high school.
I soon found out that Jessie preferred the name Jess. She confirmed her age as eighteen, which made her twenty years younger than me. Jess was surprisingly easy to talk to, and as our conversation continued, I suggested she might want to stay the night at my flat and drive home the next day. Jess followed my car back to my place.
As we entered the flat, I suggested TV dinners instead of going out again to a restaurant. Jess agreed, so I popped two of them into the oven, switched the AC on and opened a bottle of chardonnay. By the time dinner was ready, we were halfway through the bottle of wine; the conversation was great and moved easily from one subject to another.
I opened a second bottle of wine during the meal and transferred to the lounge after we finished. Jess explained that she'd been encouraged to drink sensibly by her parents since her thirteenth birthday. I didn't think her parents would consider two bottles as sensible drinking, but they were on holiday, so out of sight, out of mind.
I'd always thought Jess was a pretty girl, but now I was in no doubt that she was a beautiful young woman. When I explained this, she seemed pleased and admitted that she'd always had a crush on me too.
I said, "Oh, thank you, Jess," and slid my arm around her shoulders. Drawing her in closer, I kissed her gently on the lips. She surprised me by returning the kiss with interest. The drink was affecting her far more than I had secretly hoped for.
We cuddled and listened to music for a while; then, I stretched my arms above my head, announcing I was ready for bed. I showed Jess her bedroom and handed her one of my spare pyjama tops. As she changed in the bathroom, I called out that there was a spare toothbrush and paste in the wall cupboard.
I went to my bedroom and undressed. I didn't know what to make of the returned kiss, so with a little anticipation, I put on a pyjama top and got into bed. A short time later, there was a quiet knock on my door. Jess came in, looking far more worldly-wise than eighteen. Her pyjama top reached far enough to cover her panties. She sat on the bed beside me, a little embarrassed and slightly nervous. She told me she had never been in bed with a man before and asked me to promise I would not hurt her as she was still a virgin.
I told her I would not do anything she didn't want me to. I put my arms around her, helped her into bed and kissed her lips and neck while reminding her how gorgeous she was and how fantastic it was being in bed with her.
