This is the "other side" of my story, "The Gift". It's written by my husband, Tucker, who (after a GREAT DEAL of 'wifely encouragement') decided to comply with my request. As I promised him, I make no claim to this story -- it's in Tucker's own words, but tells of the event through HIS eyes . I was surprised to see that he remembered the events of that night pretty much as I did and I discovered several things about him through reading the story. If you have not read "The Gift", I urge you to do so before you read Tucker's version. To all those who have read my other stories, and are curious about Tucker, this story may shed some insights on the wonderful guy I married, and just why I decided to marry him in the first place! Please feel free to comment on this, either publicly or through direct contact. Your feedback is what keeps me at the terminal!
KattieLynn and Tucker -- Tucker's Story Of "The Gift"
I met KattieLynn when she was 20, in her junior year at college. I was 24 and had been out of the Army for about 3 months and back in school as a senior. I originally dropped out when I was 20, in my junior year, in order to join up. I took several on-line courses in my final year in service and got full credit for them, so I came back in as a senior. It was April when we met, at an off campus party. Phil, my roommate at the time, dragged me out that night. There were about 30 other people there and I remember it was noisy as hell. I was sitting on a beat up couch, nursing a beer.
I saw her when she first entered the room. She was with a girl I dimly remembered from one of my classes, but I couldn't think of her name. KattieLynn looked the room over, saw me sitting on the couch, and turned to the girl she was with. I saw them talking and glancing back in my direction -- very subtle, but that's how girls are.
Phil, the lecher, managed to get himself between them and started talking to the other girl. KattieLynn walked over and sat down next to me. We started talking. "Jesus, what a knock out!" I said to myself. She introduced herself, and made a few disparaging comments about the guy her roommate (Samantha) was talking to. "That would be my roommate, Phil," I answered, "and, for what it's worth, I agree with you."
Right off the bat, I embarrassed her. "Christ, Tucker, why not just shoot yourself in the foot! Lot less blood that way!" I thought. It turned out alright. She told me that Samantha had dragged her to the party, much as Phil had done to me. Our conversation was getting interesting but, about that time, some clowns turned the volume up several notches on the music and I couldn't hear her any longer. I motioned her towards the door and she readily agreed. We walked outside and continued our conversation.
I couldn't take my eyes off her. She was really pretty, in a nice clean sort of way. Big violet eyes, long dark brown hair, great smile, very nice figure. Kind of small on top, but, like we used to say, anything more than a handful is a waste anyway! Very well spoken and a wonderful voice. Nothing like the girls I had come across at school in my 3 months back here. I had come with Phil in his car while she had come with Samantha in her own car. When we went looking for them, both had disappeared.
"Looks like Phil got lucky," she said. I was wondering if I would get lucky but, in some strange way, I was sort of hoping I wouldn't. Now, don't get me wrong. If there was a chance of getting into a girl's pants, especially this girl's, I sure was up for it. It's just that she seemed different from the others I'd met before. Since I was back, I had a few one-night stands. Nothing special. The girls were great in bed, or in the back seat of my car, but there was always something lacking. It was like they were out to prove something, something I couldn't really comprehend. This one was different.
I hopped a ride back to campus with her. When she went to drop me off at my dorm, we found that we lived right across the quad from each other. When she parked, we got out and she stumbled on a piece of broken pavement, twisting her ankle. I helped her up to her room and got some ice from the fridge. We sat on the couch in the common area of her dorm suite which turned out to be the same as mine, with individual bedroom/studies for the residents, with a common area containing kitchen, living room, and bathroom between them. I put the ice on her ankle and we continued to talk.
It was about one o'clock in the morning and I kept checked her ankle. No swelling, which was a good sign. She was wearing a short skirt and every time she moved, it slipped higher and higher. I was sitting with her feet in my lap, her knees flexed slightly upward so I could check her ankle. I got a clear shot up her skirt. "White panties" I thought. Sure enough, that's what she was wearing. I figured it was about time to put a move on her, so I started massaging her ankle and moved up to her calf, then her knee. When I got to her thigh, she looked up at me, a look of what I could only assume was disappointment in her eyes, and told me she would have to know me a lot better for that hand to go any higher.
I smiled at her and told her that I was glad she stopped me and, strange to say, I was! We talked more. It seemed like we talked most of the night. Samantha hadn't come in when I kissed her and left. I crossed the quad and got to my room. Phil's door was shut, the usual Phil/girl noises coming through. "Yeah, Phil got lucky!" I thought.
I didn't see KattieLynn for several days after that. What with finals coming up and plans for grad school, I was tied up. About a week later, we ran into each other at the Student Union. We made plans to go out that Saturday. I asked how her ankle was doing and she said just fine, so we decided to double up with Phil and Samantha for dinner and a little bar hopping. I don't drink much and I found out that she doesn't either, but the music and company would be fun. This date was better than the initial meeting. She proved out to be a great girl. Always up for something and ready to try stuff that she really didn't know how to do, but that didn't stop her.
We got back about 3:00 am and Phil and Samantha went up to her room. That left KattieLynn and me to head up to my room. More talk, a little more kissing and I did finally cop a feel of her breasts. That's where it ended and I took her back across the quad. Now the noises were coming from Samantha's room. "Lucky Phil!" I though, again. Kattie was embarrassed. Told her not to be, I was used to it. Phil was one noisy lover and I'd heard it for the past 3 months!
Kattie and I saw each other on and off for the rest of the school year. Each time we were together, we explored the other a little more intimately. Each time, I found myself wanting to know her better before anything serious happened between us. About 2 weeks before the end of the school year, we were on the couch in the common area of her suite. She was sitting on my lap, her arms wrapped around my neck. I had managed to get her jeans and panties down around her ankles and had one finger in her quim and with working on her clit with my thumb. Christ, her sex smelled wonderful! Her body was so sweet, slender, and smooth. She was so wet and I was so hard! I wanted to screw her right there and, I believe I would have, if we hadn't heard Samantha and her current guy laughing out in the hall! They came bombing in on us as Kattie was pulling her panties up and I was trying to hide my hard-on! Talk about your major turn off!
The summer break was here. I was set to graduate that next week, Kattie was headed back home. After graduation, I had some unfinished Army business to attend to, business that would take me out-country for about 2 months. After that, it would be back to school. I helped her pack and load her car, we kissed, and away she drove. Nothing was said about the coming fall. We were just going to see what happened over the summer. Well, all that time we were apart, I couldn't get this girl out of my head. I hitched up with a few girls, nothing serious, but fun. Nothing like Kattie. I kept thinking about her, what was she doing? Where was she? Had she met someone else? I was tormented by the time September came around and school started again.
