ONE: DYLAN
'Run Dylan, run!' Seeing Dylan sprint towards the try line was exhilarating. He was a tall, broad shouldered fellow his mates liked to call the 'Boz' and he was the man of my dreams. Having won the last game of the season to win the series, our university team was in the mood to celebrate. So when Dylan asked my roommate Michelle, some of my college friends from St. Gwenda's Trinity and I to join them later on, I didn't hesitate to agree.
Dusk was falling as we walked along Staunton Rd, leaving Monmouth with its fine historic buildings and monuments behind us. At the foot of Kymin Hill we left the lane, Owen happily singing 'I found my thrill, on blueberry hill...' as he led us up the path through the wood. It was a beautiful evening and the air was crisp with the smell of autumn. After a bit of an uphill climb we came to the old fortification ruins overlooking the confluence of the Wye and Monnow Rivers, glinting below us in the setting sun. Owen's teammates were already there, crowding around the fire, drinking beer, hooting and shouting their game chants. It was after my second cider that Dylan sat next to me by the fire and slid his arm around my waist. Surprised, I turned to him and looked into his beautiful baby blue eyes. 'Dylan?' I whispered in wonder.
Smiling at me, he said 'Hey Jen' and slowly lowered his face to mine.
I felt my lips parting as I tilted toward him and then his lips were on mine. A warm thrill flowed through me and I felt weak as he held me in his strong arms. Time seemed to stand still until I heard Michelle giggling and only then did we reluctantly break our kiss. Leaning back to look into my eyes, Dylan quietly said, 'Come here, Jenny,' and gently pulled me over so I could sit between his legs while facing the fire. I was happy, giddy almost, as he cuddled me from behind, nuzzling my neck and whispering in my ear how much he wanted me. Later on, when I was sipping my fourth drink and we were well into our cups, Owen began singing 'Roll me over,' leading with the words:
'Well, this is number one,
And the fun has just begun,
Roll me over, lay me down, and do it again...'
Laughing, we all joined in the chorus to drunkenly sing along:
'Roll me over in the clover,
Roll me over, lay me down, and do it again
