Butterflies whizzed through my stomach as I stood waiting in the airport. I couldn't believe that I was finally going to see Lucy face to face. We'd been chatting on the internet for ages and swapping photos. I knew that she was apprehensive, that she had just travelled across the world to meet a girl when she'd only ever been with boys. And she was young too. A couple of years younger than me.
I found it bizarre that she was the one travelling to see me, but with my work commitments it had been easier for me to pay for her to come here than for me to go the other way.
I scanned the faces as they appeared up the ramp from the aerobridge, desperately seeking my first glimpse of her beautiful face.
My heart skipped a beat as I spied her. She was even more beautiful than the pictures that I'd seen. She hadn't spied me yet and there was a cute look of apprehension on her face as she scanned the waiting crowd, seeking me out. Finally our gaze met. A grin split her face and it was like her face was lit up by a wondrous light.
I waved and she hurried past the other people that were now starting to greet each other. She hesitated two steps from me.
"Lucy!" I said, my voice husky and I opened my arms and drew her into a hug, feeling her slim form as I crushed it within my embrace, her breasts squashed against mine. How I longed to hold her naked like this! I wanted to kiss her, but waited, knowing that it was something that she hadn't done and thinking that she may not want the first time to be in such a public place.
"Oh Nikki!" She said, stepping back, "I can't believe that I am here in Australia; with you!" I held her hands in mine, scanning my eyes up and down her body, a grin plastered across my face like it was never going to be removed. I drank in her accent as she spoke to me, feeling my insides quiver in anticipation.
"Let's get out of here. I want to take you home!" I said.
"Sure thing," Lucy replied. I took one of her bags from her and we made our way to the baggage carousel where we stood chatting happily until Lucy's remaining bags appeared. We grabbed them, put them on a trolley and walked out to the car. I so wanted to hold her hand, but because I was pushing the trolley it was a little difficult.
As we drove out to my place, I took the opportunity to hold her hand. It was warm, smooth and delicate and seemed to be made just for the purpose of sitting within my own.
Within the confines of my bedroom, we sat facing each other on the bed, conversation having stalled for a moment, tense anticipation in the air between us. There still had not been a kiss.
"You must be exhausted from the flight," I said to her as a yawn broke across her face. It was replaced by a sheepish grin.
"Sorry ..." Lucy started.
"Don't be sorry, it's a long flight. Why don't you have a sleep and then this afternoon I can take you to the beach?"
"Oh that sounds lovely," Lucy answered. I told her that she could sleep in my bed (since it was the only one at this point!) and watched as she prepared for sleep. Lucy was wearing a cute pair of shorts and a black t-shirt with runners. She removed her shoes and socks, and then I watched with delightful anticipation as she began to pull her shorts down her wonderful legs.
I stared lustfully as I saw the black thong that she was wearing, it was so hot. I wanted to run a finger across the material, but restrained myself, fearful of treading too far too fast.
Lucy blushed under my open admiration and I apologised for staring.
"Its ok, I'm just still getting comfortable with the prospect of actually being here."
"That's fine sweetie," I told her. "I'll let you get into bed in peace and if you're not awake at lunch time, I'll come and get you."
"Thank you," she said. I stood up next to her and took her in a hug.
"Sleep well, beautiful," I said, pecking her on her lips. They were as soft as I'd imagined they would be. I wanted more! Lucy held onto me for a second longer, before releasing me and sitting back on the bed. I smiled at her, drew the curtains closed and left the room.
An hour later, as Lucy slept, I nervously looked for things that might need cleaning in my apartment. I had spent days trying to get everything perfect, but was worried I'd missed something. I couldn't find anything. I was tempted to go in and see her sleeping, but couldn't bear the thought of upsetting her if I happened to wake her up. I'd just have to wait until it was lunch time.
A morning had never passed so slowly for me as that one, but finally it was lunch time. I opened the door to my room and quietly went inside. I drew one curtain back slightly to allow a bit of the summer light into the room and then sat on the bed.
My gaze took in the black bra that had been abandoned beside the bed before I glanced down at her perfect and angelic sleeping features. As I did so her eyes opened and a pleasant smile creased her face as she slowly adjusted to where she was and who was sitting there.
"Nikki," she said sleepily. I just leaned down and kissed her gently on the lips.
"Hello sleepy head," I said, removing my lips from hers after a slight delay.
