Chapter 3: Moving Forward
I followed through on texting Matt, and as far as I could tell, hubby kept his promise not to masturbate. I knew it was exciting for him and I also know from every guy I dated that their attitude can change quickly after they've orgasmed.
We agreed to meet just for a few drinks - I was clear that's all I wanted - but was very nervous Friday afternoon so I had a few cocktails before meeting him at the bar. I wore a casual summer dress, nothing too revealing. When I walked in, he was already sitting at the bar, and he looked amazing. He wore a nice, dark gray collared shirt that made his arms look very strong. When I sat down I could smell his cologne and I liked that he was clean shaven. His hair was mostly combed back but in a professional sort of way.
He smiled and said "well hello, stranger. You look very nice."
From that moment on we chatted a little about our work and where we grew up but kept it very light. I don't think either of us had interest in getting to know each other, we had interest in spending some time flirting and laughing at jokes and comments that meant nothing. We decided to have a third drink. By that time I was feeling relaxed, finally. A few times when I laughed I reached out to touch his arm. His muscles felt solid. I could feel myself getting wet. I excused myself and went to the restroom. I texted hubby: "having fun, just drinks and talking. Leaving soon."
When I got back to the table I saw that Matt had finished his drink. "Well, he said, that was fun. Can I walk you out?" I was stunned, because I hadn't even finished my drink. Suddenly I thought maybe he wasnt into me.
As we walked out he asked if my husband knew about our little date. I told him yes and he was ok with it, but that I'd like to keep our little friendship just between us. He grinned and said "that's what I was hoping for."
We said goodbye and gave a light hug. He started toward his car and I to mine, when he suddenly said "hey, can I show you something?" I said sure. It was a new SUV. It was very nice.
"I wanted to show you - I just bought it. Nice, huh?" It was very dark out but I could see enough to know it was worth a lot of money. I walked in front of him to see the interior as he had opened the door. When I looked in, I felt his hand rest on my back. "Wow this is very nice."
