Fear is such a strange thing.
This story only happened because of fear, the fear that I'm sure everyone has experienced at one time or another. The Fear I speak of is the fear of rejection.
When this story happened I was 19, I was in the Army and I had become a very self-assured young man. Kind of strange for me because of the fact that I had been a fat child. I mean a 12-year-old-fat-kid-being-told-he-may-not-see-13-unless-he-lost-some-weight fat. Ah, but the Army had changed that hadn't it? I had gone from 5'6" and 220 pounds to somehow 5'8" and 178 pounds. I had to look good in that uniform, didn't I?
So, on to the story. I'm 19, looking pretty decent, dressed well, nice car, everything you would not expect from someone so young. My friends and I had gone to a party and we were having a really good time. Not being a drinker I was having a great time watching my friends get pretty stupidly drunk. They were hitting on girls at the party, some were being turned down, some were actually finding dancing partners and I was pretty much just chatting up this one girl, nothing serious, but if nothing else worked out, she might get lucky.
It was a house party so there was only so far you could go, didn't want to be invading anyone's Moms room. So my friends and had pretty much become stationary at the entrance to the kitchen where the front door was still in view and ditto the back door.
At around 11:00, it happened. Denise walked through the door. She walked in with a couple of friends, but I noticed no one but her. My conversation with the girl I had been talking to trailed off to nothing, the guys facing the door were standing aghast, the guys not facing the door, finally turned to see what we were so in awe of. They too seemed to lose the ability to speak.
Now I say I had become a much stronger man than I had been, but I won't try to fool you into thinking she saw me and just fell into my arms. God I could only wish. No the truth of the matter was, I had fear, that selfsame fear of rejection that I mentioned at the onset of this story.
Denise walked in and stood around with her friends, getting a drink, laughing, she actually looked like she was having a pretty good time. After a while the oddest thing happened, guys started walking up to her and her friends, but instead of asking her to dance, they asked her friends, staring at Denise all the while.
Denise, man her name still conjures images of that dress. She was wearing one of those great 80's dresses where the sides have holes that show the skin and you could see she was wearing no underwear. She stood about 5'6", she looked like she weighed about 125-130, I would have guessed her measurements at about 36-22-36, maybe bustier, maybe a bit more in the hip area, but she looked so good. Her hair was very light brown, not quite blonde, but a shade short of it, her eyes looked to be a hazel or hazel-green and her skin was white like milk. God I loved the way she looked. Hell I think everyone at the party loved the way she looked.
I got up the nerve to approach, but only because she looked so lonely standing there by herself. Everyone was staring at her, but not one swinging dick came towards her. I couldn't believe my eyes. I decided at that moment to approach her, damn the consequences and the damned fear I felt.
I asked her if she would like to dance, she said yes. We danced and we talked. She wondered why no one had approached her. I offered my answer, fear. She asked if I thought she scared people. I had to explain, they would all have loved to ask her to dance, but they couldn't bring themselves to ask because had she turned them down, they would have been crushed. Any other rejection was easy to deal with because the other girls, though attractive weren't women. She appeared to be just that, a woman among girls. She said she wouldn't have rejected them, I leaned close and whispered into her ear that I was glad that they didn't know that because I might not be where I was right then.
A few minutes more and a slow song came on. She said she'd rather not dance to anything slow, she felt she didn't know me well enough yet. I asked if she would like to go outside and walk. She agreed to that and we were away.
Outside was rather exciting, I stopped a fight from smashing into my car, I told the Police I would get the guys to lower the music to appease the rather angry neighbors and actually got Denise to let me get with her into her car.
We talked for a few minutes and she was pretty much just milking me for more compliments. I had no problem with that. I called her beautiful, again explained how she was just more than most guys could hope to get, and after a few minutes, I got a kiss.
Her lips were like rose petals, soft and moist and sweet. She opened her mouth and I swear I tasted candy, her tongue was like a piece of fine silk and I was lost in her kiss. I licked her lips with my tongue and gently bit her lips and nibbled on her tongue. She seemed to like that because she suddenly just about crawled right on top of me. I kissed her chin, then her neck and the space just above her cleavage. She pulled my head back up and looked into my eyes with passion a raging blaze in her eyes. The windows were totally steamed and I thought we were headed to that place where we both walk away a bit more sore than we were in the moments before.
She stopped me and got herself together, saying she couldn't do this. I was a little bit hurt, a little bit pissed off, but hey, she said no. Even then I knew No means No. She got out of the car, I followed. She took my hand and we walked into the party together. Now I was the center of attention. Every one was totally amazed. How had I done it, they could see she looked a little bit like she was being accosted, but she was holding me close and making sure there was no chance of separation. She walked over to her friends who were now, ironically enough, standing with my friends. She gave one of her friends the keys and said she has a ride and would need one of the girls to take her car home and stop by to drop it off the next day.
Everyone stood there in a silent stupor that made me the proudest man there. I then heard one of her friends say simply "Damn!" Another, as we are walking out says "No way!" Then I hear one of my friends, "Fucking Romeo!"
We stop to pick up something to drink, turns out the reason she looks like a woman is because she pretty much is. She's 24. We go to her place and I find out she's a housemaid for some rich guy in the hills of one of the little towns around mine. This fucking guy has a miniature castle on his damn property. No shit, moat and all. We walked into it and she showed me around. We kissed a bit inside but she didn't want to do anything out there, she suggested that we go to her room. Her room was a weird little room, it was along a hall that ran the length of the house on one side. It had glass-sliding doors on the outside and a door that lead to the hall that led to the house. These were the servants quarters. We listened to some music for a bit then she got a call. All I heard was her side of the conversation but it sounded so cryptic. Hello. Yes. No, he doesn't. I will. Okay. Bye.
I'm trying not to pay attention, but I am starting to wonder. I head to the stereo to see what other music she has laying around. She heads to the bathroom and I don't hear the door close. I look around and I can see her in the bathroom, undressing. She gets totally naked without looking at me once and I am not hiding the fact that I'm staring. She throws on a tiny teddy and comes out of the bathroom looking sexier than I know how to describe. She lays down on the bed on her stomach and starts talking to me. I am not listening to a word she's saying, all I can do is stare.
Then I hear it. A sound at the hall door. I ask her what the hell that was. She says "Do you like me?" Now I'm really starting to wonder what the hell is going on here. I answer that although I don't really know her, yeah, I think she's cool. She asks, "Do you think I'm sexy?"
"Hell yes, I mean look at you, you define sexy!"
"Would you like to have sex with me?"
