After living away from my home state for 25 years, I moved back. I met a lot of new friends and came across some old friends. One of the old friends intrigued me, I had never forgotten anything about him.. From some of the new friends, I heard they knew a lot about me before I even came back here. I couldn't figure out how. I decided not to let it bother me though.
After a very difficult situation with my parents, the old friend stopped by. He saw how upset I was and asked if I would like to go for a cup of coffee or something. Of course, I said yes. So we went to a club he belonged to ,sat at a small table and ordered cokes.
We reminisced about our lives before and talked about what had happened since we last saw each other. Before long, hours had passed. We moved to the bar and ordered drinks. We got caught up in a dice game that was being played . I had no clue how to play, but they kept putting money in front of me.
After each win, he would kiss me, just small kisses, nothing long or involved, but each one would make me feel just like I had when I first knew him.
When the club had to close he invited me to his house. I knew I shouldn't but something just made me accept. On the way there, as he was holding my hand, I kept thinking this was probably a mistake. Then I would think that it wasn't. At one of the stops before his house, he leaned over and told me that it was going to make me crazy if I didn't make up my mind. I hadn't said a word, he had peeked into my head. I couldn't believe he had read my mind.
We got to his house and went into it. He gave me the tour, fixed me a drink, and took me to his office. He sat at the computer desk. There wasn't any place else to sit. I just stood there. He went online to see if any of our mutual friends were online. Of course, there weren't any. I kept wondering why I was there.
He kept talking to me. I wasn't able to really make any sense of what he was saying. The next thing I knew I was sitting on his knee with my arm around his neck.
He kept talking in a soft, slow ,deep voice.
