...she sits and waits; the time was getting late and still no sign of this man. Looking around at all the faces, she wonders if one of them is him...just waiting. The nerves come and go as the knowledge of time passing continues. "Where is he?" she says under her breath. A soft voice from behind her says, "He, is right here!" Startled and flushed she spins around. There he is. One single man who has a smile that is hidden behind a soft row of hair. His eyes were smiling as his red cheeks grew in size to accompany the wide smile of his welcoming lips. She jumped up and hugged his outstretched arms. A kiss on the cheek from him and the softness of his lips touched the corners of her own; her body fell into the seat effortlessly. "I have been waiting for an hour now. I was worried you were not coming." She said in a nervous tone. He smiled again. "I come exactly when I am supposed to come." She smiled. The arrogance of this man. That was one of his endearing qualities she reminded herself. The time passed as their drinks began to disappear. They knew that there was very little time left to continue. Agreeing to step outside for some air, they paid the bill and he led her out, hand on her arm, to the sun-drenched parking lot. “Which way?” she asked wondering to where they were off to. “Over this way. I have something I want to show you.” She continued to be led and walked up to a satin white car with darkened windows. “Is this your car?” she asked him. “Well, yes! I wanted to take you for a ride to work off the drinks. Is that O.K.? “His smile was so soft now. He was very pleased to have come. “Of course.” She said and climbed in as he opened her door for her. He got in the other side and turned to look at her. “What?” she asked. “I just was looking. You are a very beautiful woman.” Blushing she reached out and touched his hand lightly. They drove for a few minutes. She noticed that the area was one she had never really traveled. Comforted with the fact that she knew this man was and had been very wonderful, she did not feel insecure. The conversation was always flowing. Always something in common. They pulled in to a park area and continue to drive along the winding roads. There was no one out this close to dusk and she was glad for that fact. Soon they pulled into an area secluded from any passer Byers and he came around and let her out by offering her his hand. They continued to walk around to find a comfortable place to sit. They came upon a small green bench hidden amongst the trees and sat together talking more. As the laughter and talk became more vibrant, they were ever so much moving closer to each other on the bench. She stood up seeing a small yellow flower in a tree and wanted to pick it, reached out and almost missed it and tipped over some…he caught her in his arms. She looked up into his eyes and slowly kissed him. The passion behind it was so intense. No more words were spoken. Only eyes and lips and hands finding tender places to search out a home. A whisper, in the air, not said but breath and wind made the sounds of passion; “I want you.” Pulling back, looking into the warm eyes of fire, they took each other deep into themselves. As the darkness fell upon their passion, the moment of reality spoke. “Guess what? It is time to go.” She looked at him again, knowing that this was the end…she smiled back at him and said, “I know. Sleep well my lover. I am always here when you need me.” She woke up with the same feeling she did every morning….You haunt me, but I love you.
….driving up to the building, his heart was racing. She was in there waiting for him. He knew instantly which woman she was and slowly stepped up to her back. She was talking under her breath as he did, "Where is he?" smiling, he replied, "He, is right here!" He saw her spin around in a surprised and her face was flushed. He thought to himself, “Wow, she is a very sweet woman.” He smiled at her, opened his arms for her to hug him and she flew into them so fast, he had to kiss her soft cheek but his lips brushed hers. He instantly knew that he was going to have more of that later. Sitting, she said. "I have been waiting for an hour now. I was worried you were not coming." He replied, "I come exactly when I am supposed to come." They ordered drinks and talked for a long while. Soon they chose to leave and go outside. He led her to his car. They discussed the moment and got inside the car, him looking at her and wondering why she wanted him. “What?” she asked him. He had to say something so he said quickly, “I just was looking. You are a very beautiful woman.” They drove to a secluded area and took a short walk amongst the trees until they passed a small bench. They sat and grew ever closer. She stood and he thought it was time to go so he followed her lead and got up also. She began to reach for something and suddenly lost footing. He reached out and caught her. She looked at him with such hunger in her eyes that he bent and kissed her. Soon that hunger grew and they were caressing and pulling at each other until the darkness came and it was evident they should go. He said, “Guess what? It is time to go.” He saw that she understood and she said to him, “I know. Sleep well my lover. I am always here when you need me.” He woke up with the same feeling he did every morning…..You haunt me! How does this end?
