"Dear Diary,
I dreamt of him again. Even though I just masterbated and came harder than I have in years, I can't tell if I'm excited about it or frustrated. There's no way he's going to live up to the hype, even if I muster up enough courage to ask him out...right? I've been single now for over a year, and I've had several hookups- but there's something about him. Something that makes me....nervous? Enthusiastic? Horny as hell? Well... The last one is obvious since I wake up wet thinking of him nearly every other day.
The constant push and pull I have dealing with my own emotions on this is giving me whiplash, and it's pissing me off. Shit- I just looked at the time, obviously my enjoyment lasted way longer than it should have, I have to get ready for work. I'm coming back to tell you about my dream. This one was one of the best ones yet."

Shaylah closed her diary, and threw it in her purse so she wouldn't forget to bring it to work. She didn't want to wait too long to write about her dream- she wanted every detail still in her head.
Hopping out of bed, she walked to her bathroom. Glancing around her apartment where she had been living alone, she still felt a wave of gratitude for her independence. No longer was she forced to be the caretaker of a grown, and fully capable, man. If laundry was on the floor, or the dishes weren't done, it was her responsibility alone. Not only that, but she took care of those things immediately. Never one for interior decorating, she was still working on making the apartment her very own. Her best friend, Mia, had already come and waved her magic wand over several rooms with the smallest but significant changes. Her walls were in desperate need of art, and Shaylah was eager to make the space represent her own personal style.
***
Shaylah had been married twice in her life. When she was nineteen she married her high school sweetheart. And, yes, it was because he was in the military. Somewhere inside she always knew it wouldn't work out, but she was in heavy defiance of everyone else in her life telling her it was a terrible idea. When she was in the process of divorce at twenty two, she met who she viewed as the antithesis of her soon to be ex-husband, and that seemed more attractive to her than anything else.
Casey was a good man, but he was still a child in so many ways. Their marriage lasted for nearly ten years, and while Shaylah learned a lot from the relationship, she ultimately knew splitting up was the right thing to do. In the last few years of their marriage she realized she had never really had a partner. Not just with Casey, but with any man.
When Shaylah loved, she devoted herself. Not in a submissive fashion, but it was natural to her to pour herself into supporting those she loves. She didn't realize until it was too late that it wasn't reciprocated fairly. Casey also had sexually ignored her for about three years. Perhaps it had something to do with his depression, or drinking. She knew in her bones he wasn't ever cheating on her, it wasn't even something that she had given a second thought. She remembers almost wishing he was being unfaithful so there would be a reason, more ammo for a fight. The lack of any tangible reason for his lack of interest in sex fucked with her self confidence, an unfortunate affliction that would would still rear its nasty head from time to time.
Shaylah had quite a beautiful body for someone who never did anything to exercise it. She knew that if she put forth the effort to work out that she would really look phenomenal, and not just someone who lucked out with incredible tits, but she was comfortable with her body just the way it was. She had a real love of lingerie, and had recently started getting back into wearing it. Casey never really seemed excited when she would wear it, so her collection had started to diminish. The guys that she had fucked since her split certainly responded well to her newly purchased pieces, and while their reaction made her feel powerful, she really just enjoyed dressing up for herself.
The freedom of her new single life was intoxicating, and Shaylah found that she was thriving. She had no interest in dating apps since the experiences she had heard from friends seemed more often to be horror stories rather than rom-com meet-cutes. Most of her connections stemmed from people she already knew. There had been several "I've always wanted to be with you" confessions and "I always said if you were ever single again..." type of pick up lines. The majority of hook-ups were merely okay, some were really bad, and only a couple had been really great.
She had a long standing relationship with a very reliable fuck buddy that started before she was married. The great thing about Aaron was that he was up for absolutely anything. Anything. They were friendly in the outside world, but had only ever seen each other maybe a couple times a year at events with mutual friends. They respected each other above all else, and grew to have a specific relationship that was never uncomfortable in the sense of jealousy or judgment. They both loved having sex with each other, and they had a safe place to express fantasies, or try things they had never done. Shaylah knew she was far more inexperienced than Aaron was, but he never made her feel any type of way about it. He introduced her to a good amount of voyeurism, and ideas about group sex. He loved getting fucked in the ass, and she found she loved doing that for him.
He had an incredible, Adonis-like body; sculpted and fit. His addiction to cross fit was certainly obvious, and Shaylah found admiration in the way he honored his health. He was bisexual, but not exactly out about it. A big hand was owed to him for making Shaylah feel strong in her sexuality and feminine power. Up until that point, no one in her life had ever consistently reacted the way he did when she would send him any level of suggestive picture. From a sexy look to completely naked, he acted like it was the first time he had ever laid eyes on something beautiful. She was grateful to him for that. She was grateful to him for many things.
When either of them would start to see someone seriously, they both mutually backed off and wished the other luck in the relationship. A true and honest sentiment full of support and encouragement. Shaylah knew they'd never have a relationship outside of their sexual one, and she was perfectly comfortable with that. Their connection was exactly what it needed to be for both of them.

Shaylah whisked her thick, long hair into a ponytail as she swirled mouthwash back and forth. She had spent so long with her fingers on her pussy reliving her dream that she only had time to put on a bit of mascara and eyeliner. Running to her closet, she grabbed a well fitted black t-shirt and some dark denim jeans. In only a few minutes, she was out the door.
One of her neighbors was trudging past as she opened the door, and she smiled warmly at him. Unsurprisingly, his gaze quickly flicked down to her breasts. Being that she had been well-endowed since the seventh grade, she was more than used to this occurrence. Pretending not to notice, she shifted her bag onto her shoulder and kept walking. As she opened the door to the outside she glanced down at her front, maybe she had toothpaste on her shirt and he wasn't being a total guy. But there was no hiding the real eye-catching reason for his glance, her nipples were at full attention and noticeable beneath her tight top.
"Poor guy..." she chuckled to herself. "Never stood a chance."
While driving to work, she realized that she needed to put the thoughts about her vivid dream on hold. She was having a hard enough time concentrating as it was. Lunch time, she decided. That would be when she and her diary would be sure to file away every last detail. Just the thought of getting to relive the dream one more time made her nipples grow hard under her shirt again.

11:46....11:54....11:59.....
NOON!
Her heart was pounding as she grabbed her purse and made her way to her office.

"Dear Diary,
Alright, so you ready for this one? Yes, it was Tristan again. I don't know if I'll ever even really talk to this guy, but I'll happily keep these scorching hot dreams in my memory bank. He was working at the bar where we met. I came in with a few girlfriends and we sat at the end. The place was filled with customers and he didn't seem to notice us, only offering a quick glance. Another bartender took our drink orders and chatted with us for a bit. I purposefully wore a zip up jacket...really hoping to find a reaction when I decided it was just too warm in there. After a couple glasses of wine I got brave enough to allow my eyes to linger on him while he worked. Watching a good bartender do their job is always a pleasant experience. They move so smoothly, a sort of synchronized series of movements, effortlessly mixing drinks with machine-like speed and artful flourishes. He would smile and chat with customers while answering questions from his coworkers, all the while seamlessly creating cocktails and pouring beer. He made everything seem so... fluid. It made me fantasize about how good he must be at multitasking in...other areas.
