They were married. They were always married.
Maggie always got there too late, but her intentions were good.
She made one last house call to her dear friend. He was always there for her, for whatever she needed. He knew she lived alone and knew she was always in the right frame of mind.
That last night was the one he'd remember though. They met in a public parking area in broad daylight. She was there to say her farewells and he was not quite sure why he was there. Times together were repeatedly innocent and happy and never left him with doubts over her intentions.
Last night, she finally let her emotions show on her sleeve.
Before they met, she ended her hours at home with a strong two shots then brushed her teeth. With a hurried and more than excited pace, she rushed out the front door, letting it slam behind her. Unsure of whether she locked the door or turned off any lights, she continued on her way to see him. Maggie knew what she would say when she saw him, because she practiced in front of the mirror for hours to get it right.
Her sleeveless top and long straight skirt were ironed with precision and the rain was not going to ruin anything about her outfit. She dressed for him, but still dressed in a way that made her feel sexier than ever ( and she dressed for herself rather than him tonight). First it was the long tailored skirt with pleats that met the long slit up the back that matched the spread of the back of her legs. Well shaven, without panties and stockingless, she was feeling quite hot βliterally and figuratively - this particular evening. He blouse was new and selected especially with him in mind.
The both knew the other would be there, but she tried to be so casual about it. He blew her off as usual in public places. She knew he would, but it did not stop her from longing for him. When their eyes met, she felt an immediate wetness. She did all she could not to linger with the feeling, but he was so sexy and attractive to her that anything he could possibly do was always the right thing.
Later on, she decided to get some fresh air. There was a fantastic secluded area where she could go to be alone and not bothered by any possible intrusive party-goers. She slipped out when she thought she was not being watched. The door closed silently behind her as peaceful yet pensive stroll along the river began.
She left her high heeled shoes on the sidewalk outside the door, as they only would have pierced the soft ground beneath her steps anyway. Barefooted again, after so many years brought her back to her youth and the carefree days of living life to its fullest. She walked slowly, watching the swirling stars overhead rather than watching her footsteps. The view into the starry night sky elevated her spirits and kept her floating in that fantasy-like place of peace.
The only sounds surrounding her were the late night departing barges and the incoming tide crashing on the shoreline. Distant boats and the clanking lines of sailboats rang in time with her footsteps. Soon, she came to rest against a large boulder that broke the even horizon of the shore. He legs extended straight in front of her with her ankles crossed. Her back propped comfortably against the rock and head was tipped back to stare straight into the night sky. Many songs played though her mind, enough that she began to sing one or two lines form a few of them. As she silenced herself to enjoy the music of her natural surroundings, she sensed another's presence.
Her eyes closed to brush off the sound as her imagination. Finally, a whistling was denoted and as she slowly opened her eyes, tilted her head and looked over her shoulder, there was a masculine shadow nearby. She tried to seem unsuspecting about looking that way. Slowly, she returned her head to the tilted angle bent over the rock and her heart rate increased thinking it was him, that man of her fantasies.
The voice was unmistakable. It was him! She swallowed hard. Her breathing shifted and her heart was in her throat. She uncrossed her legs and pretended she was calm and collected about it all. Casual. Be casual she kept telling herself. It was not working. In a matter of minutes, she crossed and uncrossed her ankles at least 5 times. He tried to engage her in general conversation, but she fumbled over every answer to every question. In the middle of the barrage of questions, he asked what she was thinking. "You". Ummmmm was her reply. She fumbled to think of something better, or more profound. Her mind was empty. He would not have believed her anyway after all the mumbling and fumbling she had just done.
She looked up towards him, seeing only a shadow, but she smiled in that direction. He could see all of her in the light of the moon. All she could do was to keep silent. Her hand slid from her waist and hit the grassy spot beside her. He thought it was her invite to sit. So, he sat. She didn't mean that, and was becoming nervous by him sitting. He was always so untouchable and unapproachable in such an intimate way.
Suddenly, he was beside her and they were alone in the middle of a romantic setting, and alone. Very alone. She could hear herself breathe, almost even could hear her own heartbeat.
When he sat, he sat so close that she could smell him β his sexy cologne mixed with his own natural scent that ordinarily just made her moist. Tonight, she was instantly wet over it. As he sat, he misguided and landed on the ground right beside her. Their hips touched, he was so close. She gasped and closed her eyes and opened them fast thinking she imagined it, but he was still there when she got the nerve to look again.
He watched her as she went through the motions of amazement. When his hand rested gently on her thigh, she tightened it for a flash of a moment then settled into the feeling. Hot, strong, masculine hand on her thigh. The idea of only a thin layer of material separating their flesh played repeatedly through her mind.
She inhaled strongly enough to catch his attention. As she exhaled, she kept her lips tight and looked out of the corner of her eye at him. The expression was received as such a sexual turn on. He turned his face to look her square in the eye and leaned forward to kiss her. He pulled back to see her reaction. A brief chuckle followed by his response of telling her how pale she became filled the next minutes.
