My name is Art. I grew up in a well to do family and was never denied anything I wanted. This likely contributed to me getting spoiled from the get-go. In high school, I did fairly well, and excelled especially in sports. In my senior year I was 6'1", about 195 pounds, and the quarterback of our school football team. Whether it was my looks, my football skills, or both, I became a magnet for chicks. It continued in college as well.
On my 20th birthday, my teammates arranged a semi-surprise party in my honor. Among the guests were not just other students, but the coaching team too. The intention was good, but it prevented us from drinking alcohol. The coordinators of the celebration apologized and promised another, more private one a month later.
The second party was much wilder: In the corner, there was a large cocktail bowl and a variety of beers. Only 25 students attended, among them most of the football team members, their mates and a couple of others who joined the invited guests. Among the 'others' was a pretty girl, who came with Diane, the girlfriend of my linebacker. She seemed shy and didn't drink anything.
I asked Diane to introduce us. She brought her to me and said, "This is Wanda. She is my BFF and a freshman like me." Then she turned to Wanda and joked, "And this is the birthday boy. Ignore his ugly face, lack of football skills, and his manners. On occasion, he IS nice to me."
Wanda had a million-dollar smile. She extended her tiny hand to me and said, "Diane must really like you. She never talks like that about other guys."
I complained, "I thought of dating her, but she was already going out with my buddy, so for more than a month now, every night I cry desperately about my loss."
Diane intervened, "Don't believe a word he says. I don't know of any girl who would refuse to go out with him. In fact, he was chosen as THE STUD by a group of girls."
Wanda smiled, "I can see the reason: He is handsome, athletic, and has a sense of humor."
I grabbed her hand, "Wanda, you are the only girl who doesn't offend me in my own party. I like you. Will you dance with me?"
"I am not a great dancer, but if you are still interested, I'll be happy to."
I led her to the dim floor, where 3 other couples were already dancing, and took Wanda in my arms. It was a slow and easy dance. During the dance, she leaned her head on my chest and murmured, "You wear a good deodorant." I sniffed her hair and said, "I like your smell too." We danced for 3 consecutive songs. Then she gazed into my eyes and mumbled, "I think we better stop here. I see other girls watching us and hoping to get your attention."
"Wanda, it's MY party, so at least this evening, I can choose who I wish to pay attention to. You are right that it's not nice if I am only with you the whole evening, but I'd like to see you again."
She glanced into my eyes for a long moment and then gave me her phone number. During the rest of the time, I danced with 3 other girls, drank 2 beers, and chatted with friends. It ended slightly after midnight. Then I drove home and slept like a baby.
The next day, I found Wanda's number in my pocket. I called her and invited her to the movies. She agreed, and the following day, we watched Gladiator 2. She sat to my right. During the movie, I hugged her upper arm, and her head rested on my shoulder.
Before the movie ended, she sat up and looked at my face. I took the opportunity and kissed her red lips. She leaned back on her chair, spread her lips, and welcomed my tongue into her sweet mouth.
After the movie, in my car, while driving home, she blurted, "I liked the movie a lot. And I like you too."
I grinned, "I like the sound of it. May I, please, date you?"
She chuckled, "It's a great compliment to me, but doing that will break a few hearts of girls who hoped they'd be the ones."
"Girl, with all due respect, I want you."
"You are a good kisser..."
"But I am not sure about YOUR kissing skills. To be sure, I'll have to test it again."
She laughed and pouted her luscious lips. I French kissed her, with our tongues twirling. She hugged me and whispered, "Art, I REALLY like you."
...
I felt good with Wanda. She was somewhat introverted, but funny when she was in the right mood. Her beauty and gorgeous athletic body were big pluses, too. She lived with her mother in a 2 story house, in one of the nice neighborhoods.
Two weeks after our first date, Wanda invited me to a dinner at her house.
I asked, "Is it OK with your mother? I'd hate to impose."
Wanda quipped, "Unless you are allergic to every food, it won't be a problem. Mom rarely has guests, so having you there will be a nice change."
"Is your mother nice or obnoxious and ugly like you?"
She grinned, "I got my face from her side of the family. She is rather timid, but once she feels comfortable in your presence, she is much nicer than me."
"Good. If she is the way you describe her, I might change my mind and start dating her."
Wanda giggled, "I'll tell her you said that."
"Please, don't. She might think I mocked her before we even met."
"Don't worry, in time you'll see that she is easy to get along with."
The dinner took place on Friday evening. I wanted to make a good impression, so I shaved, showered, and put on clean clothes and sneakers. On the way to the house, I stopped at a flower shop and bought a dozen white and red roses.
Wanda opened the door for me, and her eyes inspected me up and down. She chuckled, "You dressed nicer for my mother than you ever did for me."
"Honey, I don't know her yet and I am scared that if she is unimpressed by me, she'll object to me dating you."
"Art, she is not like that. She is very docile and trusts me with everything. Since my father's passing, at times Mom seems helpless, and I take the role of adult in our relationship."
She guided me to the living room where her mother sat. The mother's face looked a lot like Wanda's except for slightly wider cheekbones, a couple of wrinkles, and shorter, darker hair. She was more voluptuous than her daughter.
I handed her the flowers and said, "Ma'am, it's a pleasure to meet you at last. I hoped to see you earlier, but Wanda denied it. I think she was afraid I'd find you more attractive than her. Well, she was right. May I date you instead of your daughter?"
She stood up, grinned, and mumbled to Wanda, "Honey, you were right. He IS funny." Then she turned to me, "My name is Tessa, and I am happy you agreed to come for dinner. I forgot to ask Wanda what were your preferred foods, but at least she told me you were not allergic to anything. I hope you'll like what I made."
"Tessa, you made Wanda, so you are already on my 'good person' list. The truth is that I like to eat, and I am not very picky about my food."
"Art, everything will be ready in 15 minutes. In the meantime, sit and chat with Wanda."
The dinner included a sirloin steak, mashed potatoes with a touch of garlic, pickles, and spumoni ice cream. Everything was delicious. When we were done, I licked my fingers and said, "Please, forgive me. I usually don't do it, but the meal was very tasty."
The ladies giggled, and I saw Tessa whisper something to Wanda. I heard only part of what she said, "... like him... good..."
After dinner, Wanda and I went to her room. It had posters of Yellowstone Park, an impressive sunset, and The Beatles. I sat down on the edge of her bed. She sat on my lap, hugged my neck and muttered, "Mom likes you. You made a good impression on her."
"That's nice, but I am more interested in making a good impression on her daughter."
She kissed me and whispered, "You did. I think I am in love with you already."
