Every time I saw him I got those familiar stirrings. But I didn't think he thought anything about the flirting and hugging and stolen glances, so nothing was every done about it. I played pool every week with some friends and he was always there. Every week was the same thing, we would play fight, tickle and poke at each other.
I would watch him play, just sitting back and casually watching him. Admiring his charming looks and his contagious smile. I thought that sometimes he would watch me too. I made a point of always wearing something nice on pool night. Something casual but very flattering to my 36c breasts, hugging my tight belly and that showed off my heart-shaped ass. I knew there had to be some attraction there because of all the flirting, I wished I could tell him how much I wanted him and wanted to be with him.
We talked online just about everyday: meaningful conversations about what was going on and what had happened in our lives. We talked about everything, and because we were such good friends it seemed as though no subject was taboo. One night our conversations seemed to become a little more serious.
I don't remember what sparked it, maybe an off-the-cuff comment from my roommate, but I was cranky and Peyton was trying his best to cheer me up: saying nice things.
"Don't pout. You know you're cute as a button. It's so nice having you to talk to."
"Peyton, you're making me blush. You're such a sweetie, I didn't know you cared ;)"
"More than you know."
"lol oh, you're just saying that to make me feel better, you goof :P"
"whatever you want to believe, but I do mean it."
"oh Peyton, you do love me ;)"
"I don't want to talk about this over the computer. Can I take you out to lunch tomorrow, I want to talk to you before we go to pool tomorrow night."
"Alright, um... I guess I can take off early from work. We can go somewhere and talk. I'll just tell the guys that we'll be late and to start without us."
"Then I'll see you tomorrow at three, beautiful."
"Night night Pey, we'll talk tomorrow."
He walked into my office at 2:30 the next day. He looked incredible as always. His short red hair was done just how I liked it. He was dressed, as always, professional and so sexy. His green-brown eyes stared into mine and the smile on his face told me that something was up. I felt a shiver go down my back and down to my aching pussy.
Walking out of the building I was quiet, my stomach was a mass of butterflies, being around him made me feel so wonderful: like I could cum at a moment's notice. He was incredible, 5'10", thin and toned (discovered from many tickling attempts). I found it hard to keep me hands off him but without knowing how he felt, I wasn't willing to ruin something really good.
He stopped his car outside my favorite restaurant, perfect for quiet personal conversations: each booth is enclosed by full stone walls, like you had a private little room to yourself. We ordered drinks and settled in for one our usual long talks. I had made sure to look beautiful for him. I wore a sheer white blouse with a lacy camisole underneath and a short grey skirt to show off my long legs. My blonde hair was tied up in a sexy tousled look. All to make him focus on my curves. There was a chill as I took my jacket off and I knew he could easily see my hard nipples pushing against the soft material of my shirt.
"So Peyton, what did you want to talk to me about?"
"Well...now that I'm sitting in front of you I'm finding it a little difficult to say."
"Oh come on Pey, you didn't want to say anything on Messenger because you wanted to talk to me face to face. I thought we could talk about anything."
The waitress broke the tension as she brought in our drinks, we ordered our meals. I thought that I knew what he was going to say but there was an urgency and a fear in his voice that concerned me. I didn't want him to say that he knew how I felt and that he wanted nothing to do with it, and that's the impression I was getting. He brought me here to let me down easy. But I sat in silence and waited for the waitress to leave. I would hear him out.
"Pey, you can say whatever you need to say. You're my friend and if there's something you want to tell me I will listen."
He looked me deep in the eyes. His beautiful eyes went right through me and for a moment in the silence I forgot what was happening, he opened his soft lips and I could see he was trying to push the words out. "I just wanted to be able to look in your eyes and for you to be able to see mine when I said that I love you."
I felt a chill go up and down my spine when I heard the words. They rang in my ears like the sweetest song I had heard. I was smiling, dumbfound, but he could see that I was happy about it.
"Peyton, I-"
"I've wanted to tell you for so long but I couldn't do it until we were alone. You are the most incredible person I've ever met, you are my match. I just had to tell you how I feel even if nothing can ever happen between us. You had to know what I love you so much." A small grin appeared on his face.
"Peyton, I love you too. I have for quite some time now but I didn't say anything because I didn't believe you felt the same for me. I didn't want to ruin what we have together now. I have wanted to be with you so long and so much."
Peyton grinned and took my shaking hands. We looked at each other for what seemed like hours but the waitress came back with our food. I didn't expect we would make it to pool that night, there were too many things to say, so much lost time to catch up on.
We talked more openly now that we knew way the other felt, all the times we'd almost said or done something, only to hold back out of fear of rejection. Peyton reached across the table and caressed my cheek and touched my lips. I kissed his long fingers softly one by one. I couldn't believe I was actually able to do what I had been dreaming of for two years.
