My girlfriend Sofia was a free spirit, in every sense of the word. She was outgoing, outspoken and had a vivacious cheeky sense of humor. Always the life of the party with an overwhelmingly friendly persona. In other words, she flourishes in almost any social situation whereas I, am the complete opposite. I'd first met Sophia whilst waiting in line at the grocery store. I had accidentally cut someone off, a giant oak of a man who had every intention of pounding my face into the pavement. As I stood there, trembling, anxiously waiting for the worst to happen, Sofia came to my rescue, practically shouting at the guy who in turn retreated, allowing me to carry on about my business. Sofia had this knack for manipulating people in an almost evil kind of way. I was just grateful she was on my side. The second I laid eyes on her, I was completely smitten, so much so to the point I forgot how to put together coherent sentences. She of course found this amusing and was actually the one who pursued me in a romantic sense, admitting that she found my lack of backbone 'adorable' and that I reminded her of a frightened little puppy.
Of course, she oozed confidence. She was this buxom brunette with shoulder length hair, curves in all the right places and a dark olive complexion. In other words, she was a goddess in every sense of the word. I on the other hand always felt like I was just an average looking guy. Nothing repulsive about me, but nothing overly special either. I was very much 'in the middle' with nothing interesting to offer. Sofia of course quickly took charge and as days turned into weeks, I found myself in a relationship with her.
Having her in my corner essentially meant no one would mess with me. She was always ready for some type of fight or argument. This was clear to me on our second date when the waiter had gotten my order wrong. I of course didn't want to make a fuss but she on the other hand, flew into this destructive tirade, making our poor waiter burst into tears. Moments later, she'd done the same to the restaurant manager. In the end, our meals were free. I soon realized that this was very much a constant regular thing with her, she loved to fight and argue. Not with me, but for me.
Then, there were the times where she'd strike up conversations with random people, often random men. She responded well to kindness and flattery especially from the opposite sex. I recall on our third date, I was running late. When I arrived at the bar, I found her deep in conversation with some 'guy'. Politely, I stood and waited and waited and waited. After forty minutes, I decided to approach her. It felt awkward and uncomfortable interrupting them. The muscular jock simply scowled at me as if to say 'fuck off'. Sofia of course responded with joy, completely unaware that the whole situation left me feeling anxious and jealous, "this is him!" she said to the guy before peeling herself away. Playfully, he wrapped his arm around her torso and pulled her in close, whispering something in her ear. She glanced over at me before erupting in laughter, "you're naughty!" she exclaimed before peeling him off of her, "maybe, that sounds fun," she said before she grabbed me by the hand, leading me away.
"Who was that? An old friend?" I asked in almost a whisper.
"Oh, no. Just some guy who saw me sitting there alone. He bought me a few drinks and kept me company. He's such a blast," she glanced back at me, "what took you so long? You're like almost forty-five minutes late!"
"Urr... I was here I just...." I struggled to get the words out, "I just didn't want to interrupt you two..."
This caused her to erupt in laughter, "oh sweetness...." her voice trailed off, amused by my lack of backbone. Amused that I stood and watched some other guy 'move in on my girl' and the fact that I did absolutely nothing about it. Needless to say, it left me feeling embarrassed and on some level emasculated. This was heightened much later on in the evening when the same guy walked by our table, placing a folded up napkin before her. Without a word, he winked at her and continued on. With an impish grin she opened up the napkin and chuckled, giddy, almost like a school girl. "What's urm... what's that?" I nervously asked.
"It's his number," her eyes met mine with a cheeky grin, "should I call him?" she teased.
I shuddered, looking away as she let out another laugh, "you're blushing!" she teased some more, "jealous?" she asked, playfully swaying back and forth.
I looked up at her, feeling overwhelmingly anxious yet, somehow aroused. "Yes." I admitted, "very much so," I added, softly.
She erupted in laughter before folding up the napkin and placing it inside her purse, perhaps to playfully tease and taunt me.
Our first sexual encounter was, for me, a disaster. Although she remained completely clothed, she insisted I strip for her, eager for a show. I hoped to impress her with my prowess, my virility and prove to her that I was an impressive male specimen. Of course, when I peeled off my underwear she arched her eyebrows in wonder, gazing down at my rigidity for what felt like an eternity. Eventually, a smirk washed over her as she playfully 'flicked' the tip of my penis, causing it to bob up and down. "boing! Boing!" she teased, letting out a chuckle, "penises are such funny little things," she mused out loud, "especially yours," her eyes met mine as a semi-sadistic grin washed over her.
I feigned laughter, hoping there'd be more to the joke. That's when she said, "can I be honest with you?"
"uh-huh," I responded, anxiously.
"I really like you. You're sweet. You're like a little lion cub," she paused glancing back down at my penis, "but..." she grimaced, almost awkwardly before prodding my erect penis once more, "I just... I don't think so," she looked back up at me with a sympathetic smile.
"You urhhh... you mean.... You don't want to have sex with me?" I responded, in almost a whimper, letting out a groan in the process.
She snickered at me before gazing back down at my member, "no. no, I don't."
"Urm...." My voice trembled, perplexed, dejected, anxious and upset, "but, but, why?" I managed to say.
This time she glanced back up at me. A sympathetic smile plastered on her face. It was clear she felt bad for me, but it was also clear she was quite amused by the whole situation, "Well...." She began, "Maybe we should just....wait, I want our first time to be special."
I gazed down at my hard-on, part of me felt as though she were rejecting me based on the size of my genitals. I knew I wasn't well endowed, but I'd never been rejected sex because of it before. "oh," I said softy before adding, "but.... we will have sex... eventually? Right?" I asked, hopeful.
She snickered once more, shooting me a knowing look, more than amused by my silly question, "oh sweetie," she began, "Of course! One day..... You understand, don't you?"
