The rest of the evening went well,very well, and I found myself relaxing
with her. It seemed in a way that we
were free to be each other around each
other now and it was that way for the
next two weeks. I saw her almost daily
in one way or another, whether all it
was, was a quick hello or an hour-long
kiss.
School had started and she was now
quite busy, but she always took off from
what she was doing in the evenings as if
I was the antidote to what was wrong
with life. It was humbling and yet
exhilarating.
I knew what I wanted. I wanted her.
Not just the outside that I’d been stirred
to arousal from the very first sight, but I
liked the affable and kind person that was blooming out of her the longer she
stayed in town.
I didn’t want her for just an hour or a
day or even a year. Forever was my goal
and that was why for the past three days,
I’d been caring my mother’s wedding
ring around in my pocket.
It was one of the very few things I
had left of my mother and for me it had
always been a source of treasure beyond
the value of the components that made it
up. It lay heavily in my pocket as I fought
for the courage to ask what I had of God
for the past three nights.
I had Samantha pressed back into one
of the front porch pillars and I was
kissing her face off even as I used my knee riding up between her thighs to
drive her crazy. She clutched at me and
moaned wantonly into my mouth as I felt
her come apart at the seams.
It never got old watching the look of
sheer pleasure that washed across her
face. I removed my pressing knee and
exhausted she slumped in against me.
“Why do you torture me like this?”
She whined against my chest.
“I want you!” She begged.
Signing I pulled away and she groaned, but in the end she let me go.
She frowned at me, “It’s not fair. You
drive me insane and make it so that I
can’t even think straight.”
I chuckled, but kept backing away.
“Same time tomorrow night?” I asked.
She sighed and her frown broke
away into a smile, “You know the
answer already so why do you even
bother to ask?”
“Because I was raised to be a
gentleman.”
Gazing serious eyed at me she said,
“You don’t have to be gentle with me
Steph I want everything. As much as you
drive me nuts you’re driving yourself nuts. I’m actually a little worried about
you.”
“I’ll be all right.” I said, but she was
right. Every unfulfilled evening after I
left her was one of tenseness. A
tenseness born out of frustration of
holding back from pushing her down and
making her mine.
I had to trust my instincts though until I knew
what to do I shouldn’t do anything.it'd
told me to love her and that I was doing.
it’d tell me when to make her mine
or just maybe He’d tell me to leave and
never see her again. The latter was a
reality I had come to face as a
possibility. In any relationship I had in life God
came first, but that was by no means
always an easy thing to acquiesce to.
Doing life the right way in any regard
was rarely, if ever the easy thing to do.
I got in my truck and drove away
already aching to be back in her
presence. I was about a mile down the
road when my phone rang. Smiling, I
answered it, “Want it to be tomorrow
already honey?”
“Steph! I…. come back!” The tone of
her voice was one of panic and fear and
the phone slipped from my hand to
clatter to the floor as I spun the wheel
and about flipped the truck in the
process.Gravel went spewing as I awoke all
the horses under the beat-up hood up. I
went tearing back up the graveled
incline wondering what could be wrong
at the same time praying that nothing was
wrong.
