Chapter 2: Supper
You might want to read "Kelly," the first part of this series, before reading this. It's not necessary, though. As before, it's all fiction.
Saturday morning. I awoke early, as I always do. Later, the fuzz of sleep hadn't completely evaporated when the phone rang. I recognized her voice.
"Justin?"
"Kelly?"
"Hi."
"Wow, I had the best dream last night."
"What was it?"
"I dreamt I spent the evening with you."
"You did? What happened?"
"A lot. Mostly I fell in love."
"Oh, Justin! I had the same exact dream!"
"You did?"
"Yes! It was wonderful. I fell in love with you, too"
"Kelly, did it really happen, or was it just a dream?"
"I hope it really happened, because I'm awfully happy this morning."
"Me, too."
"Can you come over tonight? I'll cook you dinner."
"Sounds great. What time?"
"Please be here at five," There was a note of pleading in her voice.
"No sooner?" I whined.
"No, five's as early as I can be ready."
"What can I bring?"
"Your toothbrush. Can you stay all night? My folks are gone until tomorrow night."
"Wow. I'll figure out a way. What am I supposed to do between now and five?"
"Try fantasizing, and planning what we'll do tomorrow."
"How 'bout the beach?"
"Will it be warm enough?"
"It will be warm enough to at least walk it."
"Sounds romantic."
"I hope so. See you at five, and I'll be on time."
"Good. I can't wait."
"I love you, Kelly."
"I love you, too."
A chance to spend an entire night with Kelly! More than all my dreams and fantasies come true! How would I ever survive the day? It was early morning, and she didn't want me there until five. It was going to be the longest day of my life. Might was well wash and wax the car, I thought. It was my responsibility to do that – it was the deal I made with my dad to let me use it. A 1971 Olds Cutlass convertible. Burnt orange with black top and interior. A beautiful, wonderful car that got all of 15 miles per gallon, back in 1973 before the oil embargo when gas was cheap and nobody cared. Waxing was a labor of love, and since that's what I was feeling a lot of, might as well take advantage of a warm spring day.
At 4:58 I rang her doorbell, a dozen red roses in hand. Kelly answered the door, and once again my breath left me. Long brown hair, deep, large brown eyes, a beautiful smile, and a 5'2" racehorse body dressed only in a large white men's dress shirt. The shirttails came down almost to her knees. She had the sleeves rolled up to her elbows. The collar spread enough to show her neck and collarbones. It was unbuttoned a couple of buttons at the top, enough to display a little cleavage. Barefoot, with nice legs between shirt and ankles. She was, as previously mentioned, breathtaking. She looked at the flowers and her eyes brimmed.
"Justin, they're gorgeous! Thank you! They must have cost you a fortune!"
"Now, now, it's impolite for ladies to inquire about the cost of gifts," I wagged my finger at her, and then held out the flowers. "And you are worth any price, Kelly."
She took them and clutched them to her. "No one's ever given me flowers before. And red roses! I need to get them in water." She went up on tiptoes to kiss my cheek, and then turned and ran into the house. As a prank, I stayed on the front porch. Several minutes later, she called. I answered and she came running to the door. "What are you doing out there? Come in!"
"I haven't been invited," I said glumly.
"I promised I wouldn't call you a jerk, but you're on the edge!" she said in mock anger. "Oh! Hey! I had an idea. Come over here!" She grabbed my hand and led me to the stairs. She stood on one step and took my shoulders, positioning me in front of her.
"See?" she said, looking up only slightly at me. "I'm taller!" On the step she was about 5'11" to my 6'6". Nice. With that, she put her arms around my neck and kissed me. My arms encircled her slim waist. God! She felt good to hold!
"Mmm," I said, "Actually, I'm shorter."
"No, I'm taller."
"No, I'm shorter."
"I'm taller!"
"Look, Kelly, we've been studying Einstein's Relativity Theory in Physics, and I'm here to tell you that relative to you, I'm shorter. Of course, on the other hand relative to me, you are, in fact, taller."
"'I shall shut your mouth with a kiss,'" And she did. When she broke the kiss she said, "Remember that line from Shakespeare's 'Much Ado About Nothing'?"
"Shakespeare had all the good lines," I said, and kissed her again.
"Here," I said, "I have an idea, too." I led her to the middle of the floor, her hand in mine. I knelt before her. On my knees, we looked each other in the eye. We kissed. "See?" I said, "I'm shorter!"
"No, I'm taller!"
"My turn to shut your mouth with a kiss," which I did.
"Dinner will be ready in a half hour," she said, "Come talk to me in the kitchen while I get it ready."
"I like your outfit," I said.
She flapped the shirttail. "Thank you, sir. I wore it for someone special."
Watching her walk into the kitchen was like watching liquid metal flow. All sinuous curves and flowing, graceful motion. There, we chatted about our day. I told of washing and waxing the car. She had shopped and cooked and cleaned the house. Very domestic stuff.
"Salmon over leeks, asparagus, a Caesar salad. Chocolate cake for dessert," she listed the items on her fingers as she spoke them.
"Sounds wonderful. I'm drooling just thinking about it," I said.
"Do you drool when you think about me?"
"Absolutely," I admitted.
"Thank you. Another romantic thing you've said to me."
"Yeah, but you made me say it with your question," I countered.
"You mean you really don't like to say romantic things to me?" She asked with a smile.
"Now you're just baiting me. I don't recall saying romantic things anyway. I only remember telling you the truth."
She came to me and hugged my waist, "That earns a kiss." And I got a nice one, but she was craning her neck. "Ooh. Better on the stairs, or you kneeling. You are awfully tall," she said, massaging her neck. "Dinner's ready!"
It was delicious. She was quite a cook, too. We chatted throughout dinner about our favorite music, and gossiped about people at school. After dinner, I made a show of doing the dishes, including drying them, which I never do at home, where I leave them to dry in the sink. We had saved chocolate cake for later, feeling comfortably full.
"That was a fabulous dinner. My compliments and deepest thanks to the chef. And deep thanks to my delightful dinner companion. May I take you out for ice cream?" I asked.
"What about my cake?" she demanded.
"We can have that later. There can never be too many desserts. But I'm restless and I want to show off my clean car."
"OK, but first things first. Come over to the stairs." She took my hand and led me to the stairs. We kissed a long, deep kiss. Then, she wrapped a leg around my waist, held my neck with her arms, hoisted herself up and wrapped her other leg around me. I reached down and put my hands under the shirttail to hold her up, and found myself holding bare ass cheeks. No panties. She giggled and kissed me again. "I've been thinking about this all day. We have business to take care of before ice cream," she said, looking deep into my eyes.
"Hold on tight so I can free my hands." She clamped her legs. I unbuttoned the rest of the buttons on her shirt, and put my hands inside on her bare waist. The shirt spread to reveal her perfect body, nipples already aroused and erect. I just stared. "You are so beautiful."
"Kiss my body," she breathed. I put her down on the stairs.
