I Opened Her Diary and I Read It -- Don't Judge Me -- You Don't Know the Story Yet
PART FOUR of FIVE
There are things in this world words fail to adequately describe; they—at best—can only speak of the shadow of the thing. I can tell you "the bird soared," and we will have an understanding, but those words do not come close to describing the flow, the grace, the ineffable beauty of the act. Likewise, when I tell you I loved her, you will have some idea of what that is. Yet, even then, those three words have become a catch phrase for everything from "had a great time last night" to "goodbye." They have become so commonplace that they have lost their sacredness. So, when I say I loved her, I feel I must clarify, as best as words will permit, that there was nothing 'common' about it; it was sacred.
As I lay back—bathing in sun rays, drunk on Mimosas, high on Sam, more at ease with who I am, more present than I'd ever been—surrendering to all that is, while an exotic, magical, captivating woman made love to me with her tongue, I wasn't thinking of words. I was there, lost in the moment, being love.
I came in gushing waves, that rolled as they travelled throughout my body, ultimately ending in a splash of orgasmic release that Sam lovingly, thoroughly, lapped up, before kissing her way up my stomach, breasts, neck, to my parted lips.
Celia and Mandy walked through the patio doors giggling just as our lips touched. My eyes remained shut—not wanting to crack the moment—so I didn't actually see Sam wave them away. But I felt her hand leave my body, I felt a slight movement, and I heard the patio door shut. I felt a huge sense of relief. I no longer wanted their company; at that moment, I only wanted Sam.
We kissed softly, her still glistening lips, wetting mine. We kissed, softly, as tears fell.
"Did you feel that?" Sam whispered, never taking her lips from mine.
"Yes," I breathed.
"I've never experienced anything like that."
"Me neither."
"Emily,"
"Yes, Chica?"
"I think I love you."
I managed to lift my arm and place my hand in the small of her back, drawing her closer to me. I kissed her, tasting our salty tears, as I told her what I already knew to be true.
"I know I love you."
Sam collapsed into my arms, her cheek pressed on my bare breasts, as I stroked her hair.
"I'm yours," she exhaled.
"I'm yours," I breathed.
We lay like that, naked, fully aware, for some time before there was a quiet knock on the patio door. Sam looked up and explained to me that it was Celia.
"Do you mind if I find out what she needs," she asked.
"Not at all, Chica. Unless it's you she needs. In which case, I'll have to..."
Sam cut me off by kissing me.
