Deanne was a personable yet excitable sort. Blonde with the bluest of eyes, she carried a little extra weight on her curvy frame and the tremors that rolled across her breasts gathered my attention with her every step. She tanned during the winter months without lines. In the summer, her parents pool allowed for a natural tan that evidenced the presence of more modest swimwear. I preferred the tan lines.
She shared an upstairs apartment with a workmate. They had an understanding as to when the other might need privacy. The roommate was seeing a married man, and although the relationship was anything but covert, Paula and Doug preferred the place to themselves while enjoying each other's company. Deanne and I deferred to them on most occasions.
One such night was a Friday of homecoming weekend for a local state university. Deanne had some college friends join her for drinks while I had a few beers with my attorney friends as we did on most every Friday. She and I had talked about a rendezvous later that evening but our plans were not firm. In any event, we knew Paula and Doug would want the apartment for a time.
Our liaison predated cell phones, so we relied on happenstance for our unplanned connections. A note placed on the windshield of a car. Driving by with the hope of seeing a light in the window might provide a chance meeting. Casually stepping into a favorite bar could initiate some time together.
As it happened this homecoming weekend, I was impatient to see her. I finished my beers at a time that I hoped she would be leaving her friends. I pulled into the extra parking space behind her apartment and waited for her orange Volkswagen to come into view. If we had not enjoyed a relationship, I would be guilty of stalking. It was not long before she chugged into the adjacent spot. It was obvious that she had been enjoying a few libations of her own. She smiled upon seeing me in the car and ran to the passenger side. A passionate kiss served as a mutual greeting and with body temperature rising we struggled to decide where we could go.
