Girl, don't you know every time I see you smiling
Hurts so bad 'cause when I see you I start crying
Try everything to stop but there's no denying
Falling in love with you girl is just like dying...
I'm sitting in my favorite bar, drinking a Bloody Mary, and nursing my wounds. Men! I sipped my drink and listened to the jukebox. Someone had put on "Words" by the Monkees. You, too, eh? At the stools, it's just me and the barman. I've decided to spare him--just drink and tip, drink and tip.
The bell on the front door tinkled. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a tall figure. I paid it no heed, continuing to listen to the music.
Ohhh, don't walk away
How, How can I make you stay, don't turn away...
Out of all the stools open, why does he have to plunk down next to me? His jacket brushed my arm. Leather. Ummm...but I'm in no mood to...wait a minute. I looked at him out the corner of my eye. He had gorgeous dark hair that swept back from his forehead to the collar of his black T-shirt. His jeans, faded, yet fit well in all the right places. Nice ass. Very nice. He noticed my looking down, caught my eye and smiled. I suddenly felt very nervous. There's something in that smile, a hint of mystery. I'm beguiled.
No, I'm drunk. I'm not getting involved with another man until I'm at least over my hangover.
I nearly managed to get up and stumble away, but then he offered to buy me another. His voice: velvet, smooth, deep...I'm getting wet just listening. How could I say no? I didn't try.
...Girl don't you know we can work it out with talkin'
You won't turn around or slow down your walking
I've given you everything with kiss to seal it
You had to get your kicks with tryin' to steal it...
I spent the next two hours talking to this beautiful stranger. He'd been going through the same thing. Ex-girlfriend was a bitch. She always nagged. Always demanded. Very selfish. Hated everything about him (
How could she?
I wondered). Criticized everything...including his technique (
I wouldn't
, I thought). I told him about my breakup, my bastard ex-boyfriend. Bastard. BASTARD. He heard me.
Once he'd paid his tab, he offered to pay mine. I graciously declined. He offered again. I attempted to decline. He insisted. Fine.
He walked, I stumbled, outside. I could feel the heat of his body against mine, smell his scent. God, my head isn't clear...I shook it.
"You don't want to come back to my place?" Oh, shit. I hadn't even heard him. I looked into those hazel eyes and nodded. "Which? Yes or no?" That voice again. That smile. Again. My insides melted.
"Yes," I whispered. He lifted my chin and kissed me, his tongue gently prodding past my lips. My arms wound around his neck, but just as it was getting deep, he stopped. I groaned.
"Don't worry. I won't leave you unsatisfied."
"Oh?"
"Oh, yes." He looked me up and down. "I wouldn't dream of it." He hailed a taxi. Inside the cab, he pulled me to him and kissed me again. His hands moved over my front. My sensitive nipples responded to his touch. I moaned into his mouth. Good. Very good. His hands moved to my thighs. I opened to welcome his fingers. He touched the crotch of my panties. "Wet are we, my little minx?" I shifted to allow him more access. His middle finger moved against my rising clit through the material. I wanted him to press harder, but he just rubbed, up and down, teasing me as his tongue ravaged my mouth. He tasted of alcohol and cigarettes. We were interrupted by the cabbie.
"That'll be eight-seventy-five." My stranger paid, then led me upstairs to his apartment. Once the door was shut, we came together again (we would be doing quite a bit of that later on). His hands tangled in my hair, holding my head to him while his tongue deftly and unhurriedly explored my mouth. He definitely likes the French kiss.
Now, I'm standing here
Strange, strange voices in my ears...
I only barely heard what he'd said as his kiss left me reeling. He took my hand and led me into his bedroom. I looked around. Tasteful. Nice. Clean. Bed looks soft. He removed my coat and asked me to sit. I plopped onto the bed. Nice and soft. He came back and sat next to me. Those eyes again. I pulled him to me before he could say anything else. He pulled away. I frowned.
"Eager, I like eager." I took his hands and raised them to my chest.
"Please?" I whispered. "I need you." He began to unbutton my blouse slowly. The swell of my cleavage gradually appeared. My nipples were erect and pointing through my somewhat flimsy bra. I wanted him to touch them. I so wanted him to touch me.
