I spent the day Wednesday fending off the butterflies in the pit of my stomach. At about 5:00 P.M., I started getting ready, curling my hair, and applying modest makeup. I had already made up my mind that I would dress conservatively, and chose a lovely pink blouse that buttons all the way up and a pair of black slacks that hug my hips nicely. I was ready and wondered if Paul would arrive home before I left to meet Jerry.
He finally pulled into the driveway at 6:15. "I got tied up at work and didn't leave until after 5:00; traffic was brutal on the drive home," Paul said as he walked into the kitchen.
"I was worried that you wouldn't get here before I left," I said.
Paul didn't react; I assumed he had hoped that I'd get cold feet and back out of my planned meeting with Jerry.
"How do I look?" I asked.
"Like you're going to a PTA meeting, why wouldn't you wear a skirt and show off your best feature," he said.
"I didn't want to look too sexy for our first meeting," I replied.
He laughed, "Dianna you're meeting a man who you want to fuck, I think a little sexy is called for, unbutton the top three buttons on your blouse and give him something to look at. Paul suggested.
As I did what he suggested, I spun around on the balls of my feet, "How's that?" I asked.
"Better, your ass looks great in those slacks." He said.
I glanced at the clock; it was 6:25, I guess I should get going," I said.
"Okay," was his one-word reply.
I thought about kissing him but since I was leaving to meet another man I decided better of that idea. I just smiled and asked, "Are you going to wait up for me?"
"I doubt it," Paul said.
I left without saying anything else. As I drove the family minivan to O'Neil's, those butterflies grew even more significant, and when I parked in the lot across the street, my hands were trembling. I sat there for a few minutes, gathering my thoughts. Be yourself Dianna; let your personality shine and hope that Jerry would say the words to make you feel comfortable. I walked slowly across the street then pulled the door open, stepping inside to scan the assembled men at the bar. O' Neil's has an oval-shaped bar with an area at the back where there are tables for couples. Since I was the only unaccompanied woman in the place, the six men seated at the bar all turned and checked me out. I spotted Jerry sitting along the backside of the oval. A huge smile appeared on my lips as I lifted my hand and waved at him. Jerry raised his hand and waved back, flashing his brilliant white smile at me.
As I made my way to the end and started walking toward him, I noticed that the other five men were watching me. I was happy that I'd taken Paul's advice and unbuttoned the top three buttons of my blouse, turning it from a PTA meeting outfit to a more seductive check me out look.
As I approached him, Jerry slipped off his barstool and extended his arms. I flowed into him, and he gave me a friendly hug and a short kiss on one cheek. He is about six inches taller than me and leaned down to whisper in my ear, "You look gorgeous,"
I smiled at him and looked up into his crystal-clear blue eyes, "Thank you so much," I said.
"Do you want to sit here or get a table?" Jerry asked.
"This is fine," I replied, knowing that if things went well, touching would be easier seated at the bar. Jerry pulled a stool back, and I slipped up onto it.
As he sat down beside me, Jerry offered, "Would you like a drink?"
"I'll have a wine spritzer, please," I answered.
After ordering drinks, Jerry turned sideways on his stool. He smiled and said, "My first concern has been allayed; you're prettier than I could have imagined."
I felt the warmth of a blush on my cheeks, and the butterflies that haunted me all day vanished instantly, never to return while I was in the company of this pleasant man.
I smiled at him.
"Ha made ya blush," he said as he noticed my reaction to his compliment.
"You did a whole lot more than make me blush," I answered, which made him flash that brilliant white smile at me.
Jerry took a drink of his beer then placed the glass back on the cork coaster in front of him. His hand moved toward me, and he brushed my hair back to uncover my face a little more. His fingertip touch sent a chill down my spine.
I turned a little toward him and tilted my head back so my hair would fall behind my shoulders, but the real reason was to invite his touch.
"Tell me about your life up until tonight," I asked a rather broad sweeping question.
He told me where he'd attended college, and about his two wives and the subsequent divorces. He's never had children but regretted that fact.
"When did you get into the lifestyle?" I asked, wanting to explore more about his previous women.
