Chapter 5: Oh! Well, Just Fuck Me!
All rights reserved, copyright 2010
The next morning I was startled awake by the sound of someone walking around in the living area of the suite. Sitting up in a strange bed, for a moment I didn't know where I was and then slowly remembered everything from the day before. God, what a crazy ass day that was!
I was still confused... not about my feelings for the man... but how to approach the situation after spending most of the night dreaming about him.
Although I was secretly frustrated that he didn't make love to me again during the night, I was also grateful that he didn't and had done the honorable thing for I was still slightly sore from the evening before.
Still, I found my heart wishing that he had made love to me again.
Last night was a bridge that once crossed could never be undone, I thought.
I knew in my heart he had to be my knight in shining armor and I was the princess who was supposed to fall into his arms and live happily ever after, wasn't I?
But... I knew he didn't want a princess to rescue... he wanted an equal partner in his life... and I was going to do whatever it took to be that partner.
I got out of bed and went to the bathroom. Showering again, eyes closed, I pretended that it was his hands on my body, smoothly moving over my skin, touching, caressing... special and desired.
We had a much lighter breakfast in the suite; I was looking up from my plate, shyly stealing glances when I thought I could without being discovered.
What little conversation that took place was of nothing and everything and yet not what was now so important to both of us.
The morning newscast brought a new revelation. Someone had cell phone video of the attack and it was now being shown on the morning television news. From the quality of the picture, it was obvious that the person was standing quite a distance away, close enough to just see what was happening but too far away to help.
He reached over the table and smiling took my hand in both of his.
Good morning, it's Wednesday, July 18th and here's the news...
On yesterday evening's newscast, we told you about the amazing story of a Marine and his girlfriend who were assaulted in the Golden Gate Park. We now have exclusive video of the event and will show it to you in a minute.
