Lovers

He called her everyday and they saw each other as often as possible. Every moment they spent together was wonderful. They had so many things in common. They both held a great love for water sports, art, museums, and the outdoors. She found herself dreading the end of her vacation which was quickly drawing near. When she returned home it would put a distance of over 800 miles between them and she was not looking forward to that.

When they were not together, she found herself thinking about him. This was unusual for her, it was usually not the way she did things. She usually found it easy to move ahead and leave the past behind. But somehow she knew this man was not going to be easy to forget about when she returned home.

On her last night in town, he took her to a quaint little bistro just outside the city. They had been seeing each other almost daily for about 3 weeks. She hated goodbyes so she had not looked forward to this dinner. After dinner he asked her to walk with him down by the water so they could talk. They walked along holding hands as if they had know each other forever. It was small talk at first but then he suddenly stopped near a small bench and turned to face her. He said he had never met anyone in his entire life that had swept him away like she had and he did not want to think of her leaving. He told her he had waited a lifetime to find someone like her and he couldn't believe that tomorrow she would be gone from his life forever.

They stood in the moonlight gazing at the stars and looking out across the water. He stood behind her with his arms tucked neatly around her waist. She could feel his heart beating against her back and the very nearness of him was making her dizzy. All at once he whispered into her ear, "I don't know when or how it happened, but I think I am in love with you." He went on to say, "I want you to consider extending your vacation a few more weeks if possible to give us a chance to see how this thing goes." In her heart she already knew she wanted to stay longer too so she agreed. He kissed her for the very first time right then. It was a smoldery deep kiss which left her feeling more passionate than she had in a long time. It was like he was exploring her lips and mouth with his own.

That night he asked her to stay with him and she agreed. He had part of his house rented out to a friend so they tiptoed in so they did not wake him. He led her up the stairs to his bedroom being careful not to rush the moment at hand. He undressed her slowly and begin to touch and caress her with expert hands. He made love to her in a way she had never experienced with anyone. It was as though his only goal was to please her. He whispered that he would do anything to be the lover she wanted, she just had to tell him what she wanted.

Afterwards, they lay in the dark talking. She had her head on his chest and realized that for the first time in her life, she felt she was somewhere she truly belonged. She knew at that moment she would definitely stay in town another week at least.
