Chapter 7 Talking This Out

Julia's POV

Once he is out of sight, I grab a pair of my pajamas as I slip them on quickly, feeling the self-consciousness set in once the heat has left. I'm not exactly feeling great about being naked in front of him just yet. I know that may seem silly, knowing the circumstances and all that we just did. But that wasn't exactly me. I know it was me who made that decision out of a whim, but that is not what I am like normally. So the nervousness and shame are hitting me tenfold at the moment. Is that normal? I want to step out of my comfort zone, but that is easier said than done.

Apparently, with the help of being deprived of the manly touch that I had been craving for so long, along with the wave of hormones that shot through my veins like a drug, I felt these feelings instantly connect and take over my body. Easily making the decision of getting naked and having fun with him much easier, with no fighting about it whatsoever. Which was probably a normal response, not for me, but maybe for others.. Or at least I would hope so.

I notice movement in my bathroom as he emerges into my sights, coming back into the main part of my room with his pendulum still swinging along, getting my attention again as he casually walks towards me. I find my eyes glued to him and the great shape he seems to be in at his age, he is panting just as much as I am right now, but I feel like that is perfectly normal for what we just did. I keep staring at him thinking about how nervous I am at the moment, but there is no denying the fact that I am feeling incredibly good, with the wave of relief hitting me after so long of not having this feeling brought to me by a man. I had almost forgot how good a man could make me feel.

I look up from his member just to see that he is staring at my eyes as he smirks over at me. My face heats up automatically not realizing he would see me staring, but I just got caught up in the moment and extremely vivid details, I guess. "That was a lot of fun." He states this to me as I smile and nod feeling anxious about him being here even though he just saw ever last bit of me, so I shouldn't be nervous about him being here. I think he can see that I am internally conflicted as his head c*cks to the side, still staring at me. "You feel ok?" he asks so respectfully, making me happy about that thoughtfulness as I vigorously nod in response before smiling at him.

"Would you still want to come with me to the ski resort? I would love to have your company, but I understand if you wouldn't. I just want to make sure that this is what you want.. With no pressure or s*xual tension behind your decision." he asks this again, being very respectful and thoughtful because he could obviously feel the tension that was building between us as well before we took care of that.. I never expected him to react like this, but I appreciate it all the same.

So as I am glancing from him to the floor, I think about his offer once again. It is scary to be making this decision, but I really do feel that I need to do something different, and quite spontaneous to help get me the rest of the way out of my shell. I really feel like this could be good for me. I let out a deep breath before nodding. He lets out a sigh of relief in response as he walks over to me without hesitation, leaning in and kissing me again.

This catches me off guard but his lips feel so good pressed against mine, that I almost get lost in the moment, that is until he breaks the kiss. My eyes slowly flutter open as I look at him, he is smiling at me before leaning in and kissing my lips with a quick peck. He leans back and walks over to his pile of clothes on the floor as he grabs his clothes just to slip them on one layer after the next. I can't help but to keep my eyes glued to him.. but I think he can tell that I am staring over at him, since he keeps glancing back at me with every layer he slips on while we smirk back and forth with each other as if we are shy when we shouldn't be after everything we just did.

I stand up off of my bed as he gathers the rest of his items, putting them on quicker than I had expected. He looks over at me before taking my hand into his as I feel his thumb gently rubbing over the back of it before leading me through my place and to my front door. "Thanks again for a great time.. I can't wait to see you tomorrow." he says as I get a little sad at that thought, because I feel like I need to know more about him and what better way then him hanging out a little longer. "Are you sure you wouldn't like to stay a little longer?" I ask this, not even thinking I would have the guts to voice this request out loud.

He hums out staring into my eyes, then to my lips before his hand drifts up to my cheek, holding it as he leans in then connecting his lips with mine once more. Before I get lost in his touch, or maybe before he gets lost in mine, he leans away from my lips, disconnecting our kiss once again. "I really wish I could stay, but I haven't packed yet either." He states into my lips as I smirk realizing I haven't even done the same. I chuckle in understanding, he sounds just like me with every trip I take, not packing until the last available minute.

"But rest assured by just knowing that my mind is counting down the minutes until I can see you once again. I honestly don't know if I will be able to sleep tonight, with my mind thinking of you and your stunning beauty that is invading every thought in my head." he says as I chuckle while shaking my head at his sweet words because it's hard to think that he means this. "I mean it." he says to me cutting off my playfulness and showing how serious he is about this.. and I like it. Someone who seems serious about me, what's not to like.

I smile and nod my head "I'm glad you mean it because I can't wait to see you again either." He hums out before leaning in, kissing my cheek, but his lips lead down over the curve of my neck as I feel him taking in a deep breath, sending shivers through me. I giggle, loving this as he kisses all the way back up my neck and to my cheek again. "I don't know if I can leave." He mumbles into my skin as I continue to laugh, enjoying this, before putting my hands to his chest, exposing my big smile to him.

"You have to because we both have things we need to take care of.. Now go.. we can have more fun together tomorrow." I state with a confidence I never expected to come from me. "You're probably right.. It's just easier said than done." He states as I smile even bigger kissing his cheek as his eyebrows wiggle before he swings open the door to leave, but is stopped instantly in his tracks. Opening the door has automatically exposed a shocked-looking Chanel and her boyfriend Tom, who were getting ready to open the door, apparently. "Oh.. Hello.. You two.. I'm sorry for interrupting." She states as I shake my head.

"You didn't.. He was just leaving." I explain as he leans in again, kissing my cheek as he whispers. "I call you tomorrow on my way over... or maybe just surprise you again." I nod as the smile creeps up into my features. "I can't wait." I state as he squeezes my hand before bringing it to his lips, letting the soft lips kiss my hand, then letting it go. "Sorry for startling the both of you.. Have a great night." He states being not just respectful to me, but to them as well.. What a great catch he seems to be.

"It's ok.. Don't worry about it." Chanel says softly looking from him to me and I can already feel my face heating up from her prying eyes that are putting the pieces together. The two of them have been shaking their heads nonchalantly trying to show they are not mad by any means, while trying to give John some room to pass by as he just squeezes past Chanel and Tom. They are watching him leave as I am doing the same. He has a strut in his step, getting down the open hall quickly before looking back at us, as if he can tell that we are staring. Once his eyes connect with mine, he winks without hesitation as I wave in response, now starting to really feel good about tonight.

I was incredibly nervous before I invited him in, and not even knowing if it was the right decision, but by taking the leap of faith, I started to gain this confidence in myself that I haven't had in a long time. And what did I get from this confidence, a fun night that felt better than I could have ever imagined and has ignited something in this man that wants to take the next step with me by involving me in this trip. It makes me feel like I'm finally making a good decision for myself and maybe getting a relationship with someone who finally cares for me.. Because I don't normally make decisions for myself, I make them for everyone else, so this is a nicer change of pace.

I let out a deep breath as I smile to myself, biting my bottom lip before I notice that Chanel and Tom are smiling even bigger as they stare at me standing in the doorway and still blocking their way in. I am startled by this realization as I quickly step out of the way to give them room to walk past, trying to not look directly at them out of embarrassment in this moment. I watch as Chanel and Tom come right into the place.

"Seeing you tomorrow? Sounds like things are getting a little serious... and he was in our apartment too? Does that mean that you guys did the hanky-panky?" Chanel states playfully while reaching over to pat my arm enthusiastically, while obviously wanting to know as much as I am willing to tell her. Which makes me smile, since I haven't had something like this with a friend in a long time as well. So I try to be nonchalant as I roll my eyes at her comment, pretending to hate the questioning when I think everyone can tell that I don't.

"Yes.. he was in here.. but doing what?" I ask just trying to play dumb about her silly name for the interaction we just had in hopes she won't inquire more about my s*xual escapades. She chuckles at my question as she instantly retorts, "Oh, don't play dumb with me.. You know.. The dance with no pants.. The bibbidy booping.. Or maybe you would like these euphemisms better than those.. Like, taking a roll in the hay? Making the beast with two backs?" she states as Tom chuckles, then adds with so much excitement in his tone. "Ooooh I know one, the shaking of the sheets?"

Chanel giggles as she nods, then starts bouncing on her toes before she adds, "I know another.. A bit of the old in-and-out?" using her hand and fingers to show what she is meaning, making everyone laugh. But I can feel my face getting hotter and hotter as I slap the side of her arm, but this doesn't stop her playful harassment. Tom raised his hand before adding, "How about this.. Adult nap time?" Chanel laughs even louder as they yell in unison. "Making whoopee!" they burst out laughing after that comment.

"Ok.. ok.. I get it.. Yes we had s*x.. We are all adults here and can just say s*x." I state between giggles, knowing that I can't peel the smile from my lips, feeling so amazing after everything, plus just loving how alike these two are with their sense of humor, just making the room feel light with their playfulness. "Oh, but saying s*x sounds so formal.. and adult-like, that is not like us at all.. I don't know if I can do that! But I do need to know how it was!" Chanel states with so much humor that I feel like I am going to be looking like a tomato by the end of this conversation.

I shake my head, letting out a deep breath. "Details? Um.. We had a little fun." I reply as Chanel elbows my side. "Come on a 'little'?" she asks using her hands to indicate the size of his member as I slap her arm while I feel my face getting heated up once again. "It was more than a little." I reply as she laughs then claps while she bounces on her toes. "So, it was good, and he was good, so everything was fantastic?" she asks as I let out a deep breath. "It was.. Different.. You can tell he has more experience than I do." I try to explain as best as I can without going into the actual details.

She thinks about my words as she asks, "It's ok that he has more experience because that means he can show you new things that you might end up loving." she states with a wink to follow as I smirk, because I do agree with that sentiment. "So it was a good type of different then?" I nod my head. "Yes it was good and interesting.. Definitely kept me on my toes.. But I have a feeling that he is a kinky kind of man, that is going to be teaching me a fun thing or two."

Chanel gets even more excited as she slaps my arm. "Yes he will!" I shake my head as she adds. "So you're going out on another date tomorrow?" I shrug my shoulders trying to figure out how I will explain things. Because this is going to be the hard part to get out, since this is where I will need her help, because if I don't get it I don't know if I will be able to find anyone else that can help me out at work, this last minute.
