I still can't understand what I'm doing here. Westwood High. Class of '99 Reunion. I flew in from Chicago an hour ago, although I had tons of work back home. Well, these things only happen once in 10 years, I convince myself. I scan the auditorium for familiar faces. Recognizing a few guys from the football team, I walk up to them and there are hi-fives all around, though the conversation that ensues is quite awkward. Times have changed, and people with them.
I grab myself a drink, standing in a corner and sipping it slowly. I watch my former mates laugh and reminisce. This is a waste of time, I'm getting outta here. I move to get my coat, when I see her. Her long blond hair, confident smile, and the silver cocktail dress. Rachel Adams. She was my date to prom, 10 years ago, in this same hall. Maybe I should stay a while longer. I have another drink, letting it slide down faster, allowing myself to be captured by memories.
She turns to look into my direction, and catches me staring. She starts walking towards my direction, and I know I have to leave. I'm happily married, have a hot wife, and I enjoy the sex. I need no blast from the past to butt into my life. My mind's protests are not heard by my body, and I stay put as she reaches me, and says, "Hey Matthew, it's good to see you. How are you?" Confident and forthcoming as ever.
"I'm good. Great actually. Married. Nice job. And how is life treating you?"
"Not bad, doing a few things I like. Keeping busy, that sorta thing."
"Ah okay..." and there's an awkward silence.
I hope she can't hear my thoughts. I restrain myself from heeding to the memories of that day. It was more than a prom night.
The band starts playing, and she asks me if I'd like to dance. I rub the ring on my finger, and hesitantly agree. We move to the dance floor. I take her hips in my arms, delicately, cautiously. She seems lost for a moment, caught in another dimension, and looks up at me suddenly, into my eyes.
He held her by her waist, firm yet gentle. It was a slow song. They danced in unison, and while they did, there seemed to be nothing around them. He took a moment to admire how beautiful she looked. He took a whiff of her luscious hair, she smelled delicious. He could see her cleavage distinctly through her dress. Temptation was not something he could resist. His right hand ran through the naked skin of her exposed back, soft as silk. She felt a tiny shiver and moved closer to him.
They closed their eyes. She unbuttoned his shirt at the top, and blew cool air down his chest. He let his hand slither downwards, and when he found her ass, he grabbed them, gently at first, pushing her closer to him. She slipped her hands into his shirt, pawing his chest, tracing the fine strip of hair below his navel. She stopped when she reached his trousers. A naughty finger tugged his belt. He could feel he erection springing to life, but he wouldn't let himself be carried away, not so quick. He swooped down abruptly to catch her right ear in his mouth, nibbling it before she could react. Gently he began to massage her ear lobes with his lips. She took her turn next, her finger slipping under his trousers, reaching as far below as possible. She could feel the base of his cock, but she was unable to go further.
