I wonder where she is now. A true story.

I met her at an Army base just outside Winchester in Hants. I'd gone there to visit a friend from my Army training days called Bob and we had been drinking in the NAFFI on the Saturday night when in she came with some friends. I was twenty-two and she had just turned nineteen.
Bob introduced us and joked that he had been trying to get off with her for weeks. We sat on the stools at the bar and chatted. Part way through the night I felt her hand brush mine. I let my hand dangle by my side and she did the same and our fingers touched. Then they seemed to wrap themselves around each other's and we were holding hands.
The comments that caused when we both plucked up the courage to lift our hands into full view.
I'm afraid we sort of ignored everybody else for the rest of the evening. I'm not usually very good at talking to girls but that night it was easy.
The bar was closing and we went into a closed bar, not in use that evening and I sat in a chair and she sat on my lap. I kissed her, or perhaps she kissed me. Of course, after our second kiss I went for her tits but she caught my wrist and held my hand upon her lap. We kissed some more and I slowly worked my fingers from her grasp and started to run my hand up the inside of her thighs. Again she took my hand away with a single "No."
I walked her back to the entrance to the girl's block and we kissed some more. Then she had to be in for bed check.
The next morning after a night spent sleeping on the floor of Bob's room we met at breakfast and agreed to go for a walk together. We walked along the old disused railway track until we came to a secluded area on the side of one of the banked sides.
She didn't take a lot of persuading to lie down with me. Again I went for her tits after our first few kisses but she said no. I felt her ass cheeks as she lay on top of me and again she said no.
Then she told me she was on her period. Wonderful, I thought. Here I was with ten days to go before I left on a posting to Germany and I'd met the girl I wanted to spend the rest of my life with and she was on her period. Life could be cruel.
