I knock, gingerly, upon the white door with the crooked bronze 5 on it. The peep hole is higher up than my head. I stand back. My breath caught in my throat. My cheeks burning. I've been anticipating this for weeks. Since you first showed an interest in me. Burning to be consumed by you.
My feet are soaked, damn that puddle of water outside of your building. But I'm excited. My heart is pounding in my chest. My palms are sweaty. I wipe them on my velvet pants-- my comfort outfit chosen to make sure I was as relaxed as possible when my eyes would first meet yours. I take a deep breath, hear you moving towards the door. I remember nearly tripping up the staircase leading to your apartment door.
Will he like me? What if I'm not what he thinks I am? Is this going to be okay? What if I don't like him? What if we're not good for each other? Is it possible that he's just as he seems? We've been speaking for weeks. I want this. I need this I...
The door opens. You're so tall. I feel my eyes watering, taking you in. Your absinthe-green eyes. Your mussed hair. You're dressed all in black. I like that. I like it so much my brain gives me fireworks. I put my hand to my hair, I look directly at you. "Hi." You say hi back, you give me a hug. I breathe you in for the first time. You smell clean. Like soap and man. And perfect. I nuzzle your chest before pulling back.
You smile. Maybe laugh a little bit. Lead me into your apartment. I take my shoes off immediately, not wanting to get your floor all messed up by my wet, soaked sneakers. You sit on the bed. Then you say "Come here, Kitten"
I give you deer-in-headlights and you chortle, chuckle, and say it again. I move slowly and carefully, to your bed. I unzip my red hoodie, also made of velvet material. Reveal the pink tank top I'm wearing with the hearts I drew on the bottom. You look over me, approvingly. My heart starts hammering again. I feel nervous. Like this can't be real. But it is, you're here. I'm there. And...
You look at the place in front of you on the bed. Then back at me. Tell me to come here again. I move closer, within arms reach of you. You take my pants and panties off in one foul swoop. I sit down. You remove my tank top. My bra.
I'm laid bare before you. I cough, nervous, again. I look at you, smiling. I can't contain how happy I am but I'm still SO nervous. I inch closer to you.
Memory fails me at this point. I know you got undressed too. I was cold. I was wet. You put my soaked socks on the heater. We got under the covers. Cuddled for a while. Then you started touching me. And I lost it. Not in a bad way.
