I remember the summer.
I remember returning back to the house at dawn, and I remember the dark blue sky from the open window out onto the veranda, and the cool breeze, lapping at the curtain's edge.
I remember too in the dim light the thin cotton bed sheets, all twisted and torn. And her skin, her form silhouetted against the dawn sky beyond the window, and her hands; expert, caressing.
That summer. A seaside town, the villa up in the backstreets at La Q, where by afternoon, the shutters are all down and only the poor kids play. There are distant sounds up from the beach, muted in the thick hot air of the narrowing alleys. And the shadows are no longer cool, no longer any refuge from the August heat.
Nadia is sitting on the sofa in the living room in a slight, simple dress with her bare legs crossed, one swinging up and down rhythmically on the other. She looks intently at the stone tiles, her face suddenly sad, her large brown eyes flicking up to look across at me, naked to my shorts at the table opposite. This is an afternoon gone too hot, itchy and sticky and aching to move around.
She stands suddenly.
"Let's do something!" she says and moves over to put her arms around my shoulders. "I'm bored!"
Down to the car then, the engine on, the roof down and away.
"Let's just go somewhere we've never been before and do something we've never done before," she says, smiling into my eyes irresistibly.
I want her badly even then, even as I am trying to remember the quirks of this ridiculous hired car's gearbox and the sudden turns of the small town streets. I am looking at her legs, tanned and smooth, one crooked up against the car door. I want to run my hands up and down them. I want more than that though. I want to take them in my mouth somehow. I want to lick them from toe to pussy, I want to rub my cock along them, cum on them, for her to make me cum on her legs, wanking me with her cute, tiny feet...
"LOOK OUT!"
A near miss, but we are safe now and heading for the hills, up above the town. We stop at the premonitory and get out. She is furious with me, stomping off with a slam of the car door.
"You could have got us killed!" she shouts.
We argue. I say I did say I was sorry, what more can I say? What more is there to say than that? And she is saying that I have to be more careful and sometimes she doesn't know where I am and we are arguing now and then I can't stand it any more and I just grab her. By the hair. I am standing very close to her and I grab her thick dark hair and force her to look at me and then I kiss her on the mouth, hard and firm. Pulling away I finally tell her, "I wasn't looking at the road because I was looking at your legs and your body and dreaming how much I wanted to fuck you."
