The movie was still going, but neither Mattie nor I was paying any attention to it anymore.
"Let's head to bed," Mattie urged. It was only 10:30ish, but I was exhausted. We turned off the TV and Mattie stood up to head upstairs. I felt like my whole body had been lifting weights. I stood up and fell back to the sofa when my legs failed to hold me. Mattie yelped, then laughed.
My best friend then helped me from the couch to my bedroom upstairs. I was back to managing on my own by the time we got to my room. Mattie still guided me to the bed and pulled the covers away for me. She slid in beside me and laid her head on the pillow next to mine. I had a double bed, so there was room for both of us.
Mattie slid an arm under my shoulders and pulled me in to nuzzle her neck. I wrapped as much of my body around her as I could. I felt a little guilty that Mattie had given me such pleasure tonight, but I hadn't done anything for her. I wanted to reciprocate, but at that moment I was too tired. I was asleep in moments.
The next thing I knew, I was waking up to see dim light seeping in through my window. Mattie had rolled somewhat away from me, but was still asleep. As tired as I was the previous night, I was the opposite that morning. I was full of energy and felt great. I slipped from the bed as quietly as I could and went downstairs to make us some breakfast. I scrambled some eggs and made some toast. I didn't know what Mattie usually drank for breakfast, so I poured her a glass of milk and a glass of orange juice. I hoped she didn't want coffee, because I didn't know how to make that.
I went back upstairs to find Mattie stretching on the bed. That was so sexy, but I ignored that and sat down on the bed beside her and handed her a plate. Breakfast in bed was not something our family really did much, so we didn't have a nice tray to use.
"Aww," Mattie said as her eyes took in what I was handing her. "You brought me breakfast in bed! That's so sweet!" She took hers and I sat mine on the side table before standing back up.
"I have drinks too, I'll be right back," I said excitedly.
I retrieved our drinks from the kitchen and was back in no time. Mattie had sat up completely and was taking her first bite of eggs.
"These are really good!" she said, sounding a little surprised. I got a hurt look on my face.
"Of course they're good," I began. "I've been making scrambled eggs since I was ten."
===========
After breakfast, we took a shower together. That was a lot of fun. We didn't have sex or anything, but rubbing our soapy naked bodies together definitely got us in the mood. We did go at it in my bed again after that and then took another much tamer shower to get the sweat and other fluids off.
Mattie had the rest of the day planned out. I should probably explain that we lived in a good area in a suburb and our families were both in the middle class income bracket. Actually, Mattie's family was in the upper upper middle class bracket while mine was in the comfortable but not frivolous one. Anyway, Mattie's parents gave her a secured credit card that they would add a pretty good amount to every month. I never knew exactly how much, but she never worried about being able to pay for stuff.
That day must have put a pretty good dent into her account though, because she was actually paying attention to the amounts even while trying to not let me see. Mattie took us to a spa, then shopping for dresses specifically for that night, then to a salon where we got our nails and hair done. And Mattie paid for all of it. Again, I was feeling guilty for all the money she was spending on me, but, at the same time, I felt like a pampered princess and Mattie seemed to be enjoying herself as much as I was.
By the time we got home, we had time to do each other's makeup and get dressed before going to dinner. I was just about to pull on my new dress when Mattie spoke up.
"No underwear tonight," she said. I looked at her and smiled.
"Yes, ma'am," I replied in my submissive voice.
I removed my bra and panties, then pulled on the black dress. It clung to me in all the right places and came down to mid-thigh. I had to adjust the girls into the top a bit, then turned to Mattie.
"You look scrumptious," she praised. "And the lines from your underwear would have just messed it up."
Mattie wore a similar dress in a cream color. Looking at ourselves together in the mirror I got a sense of yin and yang. Her dark hair and eyes against that almost white dress beside my lighter hair and eyes in the black dress. I don't think Mattie planned that, but we looked great together.
I drove us to a restaurant that Mattie had picked out, one I had never been to. It was a somewhat upscale oriental place, but not so upscale that I felt guilty again. We walked in and stepped to the greeter's podium. A lot of people were looking at us and I noticed that we were totally overdressed for this place.
I leaned toward Mattie and whispered to her.
"They're all staring at us."
"They're all wondering who the lucky guys are that we're meeting here," she replied.
Then she put her arm around me and very obviously grabbed my ass. She tilted her head toward me.
"Kiss me," she whispered.
I felt the eyes watching us even as I closed my own and let my girlfriend lay claim to me for all of them to see. Mattie and I had been so careful not to let anyone know about our relationship up to that moment. Yet here we were kissing in the middle of a restaurant filled with people. I was warm and nervous at the same time.
The greeter then approached and we broke the kiss. Mattie's hand, however, did not leave my rear and even gave it a squeeze.
"Reservation for two under the name, Green," Mattie told the woman.
Completely professional, the lady ignored what we had been doing when she interrupted and found us on some clipboard list.
"Right this way," she stated and began walking deeper into the restaurant. Mattie let go of my ass, but kept her arm around my waist the whole way. My peripheral vision kept picking up heads swiveling in our direction as we passed.
Once we got to the table, the rest of the meal went without incident. On our way out, Mattie, once again, kept her arm around me making it clear to everyone that we were a couple. What was clear to me, was that this whole day was Mattie's way of showing me that I was more than just a secret affair to her.
It would take us a lot longer to come out to our family and at school, but, at that moment, with Mattie holding me close, I would have had the courage to do it.
