When I woke up, I could still taste her on my lips. Alone in her warm bed, I could hear the shower running. The images of last night were still fresh in my head. We spent another hour or so touching and groping before we both fell asleep. We couldn't keep our hands to ourselves. Fuck. What a night. I hoped it wasn't just all the booze. The shower stopped and I sat up.
"I'm awake!" I yelled to her.
"Ha. Good. I wanted to let you sleep but I have to work today. My firm has an event and I need to be there in about an hour," she replied through the bathroom door.
I looked over at her clock. 7:30AM. Damn. She opened the door and walked into her bedroom wearing a towel. Her wet hair fell around her shoulders and clung to her skin. She looked so sexy just standing there. She walked to her closet and started riffling through her clothes. This woman made my mind race.
"You should wear something blue today."
"Is that right?"
"Yeah, that's right."
"Well, I'll take that into consideration," she said as she peeked out of her closet and smirked at me.
I got out of her bed and walked around the apartment, searching for the rest of my clothes. My jeans were near the door. My shirt was crumpled near the corner of her coffee table. A smile crossed my face as what we did last night came flooding back. The passion. The smells. The tastes. The sounds. I walked into her kitchen after I pulled on my shirt and pants.
"Do you mind if I have a glass of water?" I asked.
"Nope. Glasses are in the cabinet above the sink and there's a pitcher in the fridge."
"Thank you."
I finished my water and walked back towards her bedroom. She was standing in her bathroom in front of her mirror getting ready. I walked up behind her and put my hands on her hips. She was still in a towel. I swept the hair off her shoulder and kissed her neck while she brushed her teeth. She let out a little sigh when she felt my lips touch. Skin so soft and warm. Still a little wet from her shower. Damn, she smelled incredible. She reached back and touched my face as I continued to kiss her neck.
"Okay, I'll be good. I know you have to get ready," I whispered in her ear.
"
Damn
. I know. It fucking sucks."
I kissed her neck one last time and walked back to her living room. About 20 minutes later, she came out wearing a pair of black pants and a light blue shirt. She had a dress on a hanger with her as well.
"Is this blue enough?" she asked with a hand on her hip, as if presenting herself.
"Yeah. That will work. Ha," I replied with a smile.
"Good. I'll give you a ride home. Let's go."
On the way back to my place, we made random small talk. We complained about the radio stations here. I told her the best way to get to her event from my part of town. She worked for a PR firm and they were having a kick off for their latest client. After about 10 minutes, we were back at my apartment. I told her I would call her soon and gave her a kiss before I got out of the car. As I walked around, she rolled her window down.
"Listen. After this event, we're having a little party with drinks and music. Hence the dress. I was going to see if one of my friends could come with me but if you aren't busy tonight, would you like to come? It starts at 8."
"Yeah. I'd be down for that," I replied, trying to hide how happy it made me to hear it. "Send me a text and let me know where to be."
"Cool. I'll let you know. I still need to find out where it is."
"Sounds good. Later, Kate. Good luck with work."
"Thanks. See you later."
She drove off as I walked into my building. I opened the door to my apartment and promptly collapsed on my couch. Her smell was stuck on me in the best way possible. My shirt. My hands. She was everywhere. I put on some music and sat there smiling like a fool. Again, the thoughts of last night were washing over me. I remembered the cab ride and how close we were to ripping each other's clothes off in there. I remembered how intensely we kissed as soon as we got inside her apartment. Damn. I need that again. Soon. I drifted off to sleep.
I woke up three hours later when I got a text message from Kate. She told me the party was at a hotel down the street from her event. I was still struggling to open my eyes when I saw another text. It was from her.
"Also. Check this out."
What followed was a picture. Kate had pulled down her pants just enough and was exposing a pair of sheer blue panties. Her landing strip was just barely visible. The panties clung to her hips perfectly.
I texted her back, "Fuck. Me."
Her reply came in about 30 seconds. "You told me to wear blue today. I have been trying to work for the last few hours but all I can do is think about you and last night. And every time I try to sit down, I get all squirmy."
"Damn. Well you have me all hard now. I have to wait until 8 to see you again?"
"Yep. I couldn't pass up an opportunity to tease you. And let you know what you've done to me. So there. See you at 8."
"Can't fucking wait."
The rest of the day felt like a lifetime. I tried to keep myself occupied by taking a long shower, running some errands and cleaning my apartment. But my mind kept drifting. I kept looking at that picture. I kept thinking about what we had done and what we might do. After some agonizing hours, it was time to get ready.
I texted her, "I just want to let you know that I have been going nuts all day. So thanks."
She replied, "Good. That's what I wanted."
I made my way to the hotel and got there at 8PM sharp. I couldn't wait any longer. I had to see her. When I walked in, I didn't see her at first. I figured she was probably talking to her co-workers or something so I made my way to the bar. I ordered a bourbon and looked around the room. Turns out, she was over in a corner with a few older women. I hadn't noticed her at first because she had changed into a dress. But there she was, laughing with a drink in her hand. A black dress hanging perfectly over her frame. A thin silver belt accentuated her hips. Damn. She looked good. Our eyes met after a few seconds and her face lit up with a smile. She motioned over to the bar and started walking over towards me.
"I told them I needed to get another drink. I'm
so
glad you're here." She greeted me with a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
