Small Town Dreaming

“Hey, it’s almost six in the morning.”
That’s when she grabbed my hand and asked me to lie with her. I have one of those L-shaped sofas that have plenty of room.
I lay down behind her and she held me close and, before you know it, we were sleeping. That moment was beyond the most intimate moment of my life to that time. We slept for almost eight hours, in between tossing and turning, and she would not let my hand go. When we finally woke up, she made coffee and some croissants, which I love to eat for breakfast. It was more like a late lunch or early dinner.
As I sat at the table with her, she just stared at me and said, “Did you think I would not want to be held by you after all these months on Sunday that we have put off sexual encounters out of respect for each other true feelings?”
I didn’t know what to say, but when I went to speak, she pulled me to her and kissed me sensually and passionately. She laughed and said, “Do you remember asking to kiss me a long time ago?” Again, she laughed so hard at me.
That’s when I grabbed her and kissed her back and didn’t want to stop. That day we made plans together and we enjoyed each other’s company for the rest of the weekend. I was still questioning where we stood with each other. Before I could say it, though, she said, “I love you. I have always loved you, despite where I was in life.”
I know that it wasn’t the place or time for us, as time went on, and life brought us here. I thought of you often, but I had my family life going on.
I stopped her and said, “I honestly waited for you. As time went by, I didn’t have that strong love or bond with anyone but you.”
The whole sinful lifestyle, the judgment, and all kept me from wanting to desire anyone. Now we are here. Over the coming weeks, we embraced our love and respect for one another. Now when we are together alone, we hold each other, watch movies, go out to dinner, take vacations, and we went to a place we both always wanted to go: Greece
It was a remote area away from the big city, a small condo off the incredibly blue waters. We held each other as we watched the moon glowing in the dark sky, just two minds thinking on the same level and holding each other so close that we could feel our hearts beat at the same time.
Returning from our vacation together didn’t change the way we have always been with one another. Our friendship and respect came before anything. There has never been a time that I couldn’t be open and honest. The trip brought us closer, I must say, and we can’t deny where our hearts dwell. You will always be my first true love.
The End?
