Would we sit quietly and talk endlessly about our lives, hopes, dreams, fantasies? Would we be shy and share glances and small touches across the dinner table? Would we be so unaware of our surroundings that we devour one another totally, emotionally, physically, mentally?
I think that our first meeting would go like this...
I would drive to the airport to pick you up from your early morning flight. Meeting you at the gate, hoping that I would recognize you from your picture right away. There you are, handsome, more so than the picture. You smile, as our eyes meet, my heart leaps into my throat, feeling as though it is trying to pound it's way out of my body.
There you are within arms reach, I say, "Hi, welcome to Kansas." Your smile could light up a room as you reply, "thanks, I'm glad to be here." We hug, and exchange smiles as we pack your bags into my car. The drive home wouldn't be a long one, but I was hoping we would have enough conversation to fill up the time.
Our comfort level is coming down slowly, you stretch back in the passenger seat and rest your hand on the head rest of my seat, the music playing softly in the background, you start humming to the song, how cute, I think and smile to myself. You slide your hand down the headrest and play with a lock of my hair, you say, "your hair is beautiful." I reply "thanks," as a shy smile crosses my face, I catch a glimpse of you in the rear view mirror, your eyes are captivating. I make one last turn and here we are home sweet home. We get the car unloaded and make it inside to your room. "Here is your room, the bathroom is second door on the right, down the hallway."
"What is the first door?" you ask, "my room..." I reply, then quickly change the subject, "Well I will let you get settled, if you need anything I will be in the kitchen." You smile at me and politely say, "Thanks, I won't be long." I pull the door partially closed behind me, you start to unpack.
Standing in the kitchen slicing strawberries for dessert, you walk up and steal a slice of fruit," how did you know that strawberries were my favorite?" I smile, "lucky guess, I suppose" Our eyes meet and like reading from a cue card we both lean in and our lips brush together, your hand caresses my arm, pulling me in closer to you, as our kiss intensifies. You taste of the stolen fruit, sweet, exhilarating, wonderful, your tongue gently slides into my partially open lips, exploring my mouth, your hands explore my body, your touch so soft, so gentle, my body responds to your touch, my nipples erect, my heart pounding, my womanhood increasingly wet as we kiss more intensely , afraid of moving too fast I pull away, "I should really get dinner on the table, you are probably starved."
I know I blushed, your smile so captivating your eyes held my attention as I tried to focus on our salad, the main course was beckoning with aroma to be let out of the oven. As we sat to eat, more small talk, and sometimes small touches of our hands, our eyes would make immediate contact when we looked at one another. After our meal we go to the living room, the noon sun shining in the front picture window, you placed yourself right on the floor where the sunbeams sparkled in your hair, I sat in the chair beside you. You looked at me my heart resting in my throat, unable to speak as you slowly pull me on the floor with you, you ask me " why are you nervous?"
I couldn't reply, my voice wouldn't come.
