Rain

My boss and a few co-workers were going to a sports bar. We had just worked a long day and got out late, my boss offered to buy us a round if we all went. Didn’t want to be perceived as anti-social, so I went. We meet a couple of his business partners, their friends and so on; soon there was quite a large group of people in our “area”. It was loud and smoky, two things I really can’t stand – especially together. I’m one of those people who would enjoy a smaller and more intimate environment. I finished my beer and excused myself to go to the restroom. As I made my way through the over-crowed place, I caught a glimpse of a young woman who seemed to be out of place. It wasn’t that she didn’t belong there, well not anymore than I did anyway. Her group was rather large too and she seemed to be just there passing time. She had mid-length blonde hair, long legs and a beautiful form. She wore a silky white blouse, short khaki skirt and sat with her legs crossed, much like a true lady should. She was sitting so I couldn’t really tell how tall she was, but she wasn’t short. She wasn’t too skinny either, she was just right. And her lips as she put them to her drink could only be described with one word, luscious. She truly was beautiful in my eyes, much like a dream. I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had seen her before, ‘perhaps I did see her in a dream,’ I thought with a smile. I must have been staring because one of her friends jabbed her in the arm and pointed my way laughing. I attention quickly snapped back to the task at hand and continued my path to the back of the bar and into the restroom. ‘I would never have a chance with a woman like that’ I thought as I stood there. ‘She probably has a boyfriend anyway. And this isn’t really my environment, I’m going to call it a night’ I said to myself as I washed my hands. I walked out the door and started making my way back toward my now extended party of mostly unknowns. I stood there bidding my leave with everyone when I found my curiosity of the woman who had earlier caught my attention getting the better of me. Between the crowd and dim lighting, I tried to see her once last time only to find she was no longer there. I was a little disappointed, but not surprised. ‘Just as well’ I thought. All I really wanted to do was pick up a steak and drop by blockbuster to get a movie or two. ‘Life of a champion’ I said to myself grinning and waving bye to everyone. But that was more my style and pace, something most would consider boring. It didn’t seem like I could get out of the place fast enough, I wanted to rid myself of the noise and crowd. ‘Reminder’ I said to myself just happy to be out of there, ‘next time say no’. I was fidgeting around in my pocket looking for my keys when I caught sight of the woman from inside about to get in her car, and this time she was staring at me. My disappointment quickly subsided and was soon replaced by anxiety. I didn’t know what to do; I stood there unmoving with a deer in headlights look. I finally broke the stare with a polite smile and walked over to my pickup. ‘Stupid, stupid, stupid’ I said to myself as I hit my head with the palm of my hand. ‘You haven’t had sex in almost 6 months and all you do is smile and walk away?’ I neared my truck and was about to insert my key into the lock when I heard a soft but very auditable voice from behind me.

“Hey there.” I turned to see the woman who I had just missed my chance with was now giving me another. ‘Well don’t just stand there you idiot’ came a voice from my head, ‘say something’ “Hi” was all I could muster as my throat went dry. Maybe it was still the buzz from the few beers I had that made me walk to her car, but my heart was beating at the fastest pace it has in a long time. A slight breeze whipped around me stirring the sent of a storm moving in. In the air their was a charge of excitement and a mystry of what was to come. ‘Calm down,’ I said to myself. ‘Deep breaths walk slowly, not to eagerly’.

“Leaving your party early?” she asked

“What, that?” I asked throwing thumb behind me as I knelt on the pavement. “It’s not a party, more like a B.S throwing contest.”

She smiled at my poor attempt at humor. “You have somewhere you need to be?” She asked

‘Wow, straight forward isn’t she?’ I thought. “Nahh, I was just going to grab a movie and pick up something to eat.”

“So, your hungry?” she asked.

“Not really, was just going to do it out of habit.” I replied. I could smell her perfume coming from her car as I knelt there, the fragrance so soft yet demanding of attention. She was indeed a beautiful woman, and here she was giving me another chance that I had better not miss. “But how about ice cream?” ‘That a woman ought to enjoy,’ I thought.

“Your cute, get in,” she said through a smile.

Hell, why not. I opened the door to her car in climbed in, my head swimming from the sudden rush of blood, partially from standing up so fast and some from the beers I had just polished off. “I’m Thomas, Tom for short.” She started out of the parking lot.

“I’m Megan. Can I ask you a question?” she asked as she drove the opposite direction from the nearest ice cream place, which happened to be in the same shopping center. I didn’t say anything; I was already in the car and who cared about the ice cream.

“Sure.”

“Is it true what they say about big guys like you? Ya’ll have, ummm…large assets?” she asked. “Your what, 6 foot?” she added.

‘Dang, this girl doesn’t waste any time,’ I thought. “Possibly, but I’m not giving away all my secrets just yet.” I said in reply. “And yes, I’m something like 6 foot.”

“Guess I going to have to find out,” she said in a flirting voice. God, she was beautiful and sexy all at the same time. And I was right about those lips, there were very luscious. As she sat there, her short skirt was barley covering her gorgeous thighs. I loved short skirts on women with long legs, especially when they are barley covered. “That’s the third time you’ve been caught staring.” She said.

“Sorry,” I said jarring my attention to the street ahead. “Hope it doesn’t make you feel uncomfortable.”

“It doesn’t, I kind of like the way you’re looking at me. Tell me what about me makes you keep staring?” she asked.

“God, where do I begin? Everything about you is sexy. But to be absolutely honest, I was just sitting here wondering what you felt like, or what it felt like to touch you rather.” She looked shocked for just a second, and then a smile crept slowly across her lips.

“Well, I have to admit,” she said, “That’s original, and extremely hot. I like you.”

“I like you too. You seem sweet and funny as well as beautiful. And I’m sorry to stare, but you have my full and undivided attention. Your eyes and lips, down to your toned legs, your perfectly gorgeous.”

“Flattery can go both ways, sweetie,” she said as she reached down and pulled up her skirt just a bit to barley reveal soft white panties.
