My Yellowstone Odyessy

Chapter 15

14 In Your Arms tonight

I sat in between Terry's legs his arms around my waist his chin resting on my shoulder, every now and then I would feel him lick or nibble my ear or whisper something naughty into it. Even with all this, we chatted with our friends and drank beer, the fire's glow casting a shadowy light on us.

Finally the party began to break up, we wished everybody a safe journey and hoped that we might run into each other again some day. Marla and I exchanged e-mail address's, she was thinking of transferring to the University of Wyoming and was interested in a possible contact there. Larry and the others apologized ahead of time for any noise they might make I the morning, as they were hauling out of here quite early.

Finally Terry and I staggered off to find the restroom before returning to our tent, I did my business, and splashed water on my face to wash off the smoke smell. As I stepped outside, Terry suddenly appeared, pulling me close by placing his hands on my rear and pulling, our lips crashed together as he hugged me close. We stood there in the light of the restroom tenderly kissing even when the sound of footsteps approached and female giggling and a familiar male voice said I a commanding tone, "Hey you two there could be impressionable teenagers around, let's knock that off!" Terry pulled back only enough to say, "Ken, Kristen, good night!" they both snickered before disappearing into the restroom.

"We'd better get to the tent," suggested Terry, We took off our boots and crawled into the tent and began changing into our sleepwear, Nether one of bothered to hide ourselves from the other under the sleeping bag anymore, although the cold air was brisk, we toughed it out and sat there and stripped in front of the other, but because it was cold we didn't dawdle either. Terry lay on his back under the top cover one arm behind his head; I cuddled up next to him, laying partially across his chest staring into his shadowy face.

"You know you're one sexy chick when you dance baby," commented Terry. "Ummm, thanks, wait until I get a chance to give you a private show lover, you ain't seen nothing yet." I purred, kissing Terry on the face.

"I'll be waiting." I thought to myself, "I guess this is as good a time as any, and said, "Baby, what's going to happen to us?" "What do you mean sugar?" "I mean when I go off to college and you start your own schooling." "Is that's what's bothering you?" pausing a moment, I continued, "Yes, I'll be in Laramie and you'll be in Salt Lake." "Well, there's phones, e-mail's web cam's, cars, bus's oh I see, you're afraid we'll just eventually drift apart, is that's what's bothering you?" "Yes" I squeaked. "Honestly baby it's too early to tell, I guess it just depends on how much we love each other. What was that they say about absence making the heart grow fonder or something?" "Terry, I realize now that I've come to love you so much, you've really gotten in my way, but that's good I don't want to loose you, I wish I could tell you how much you mean to me now," I started to sob.

Terry patted my back and kissed me, "Shhhh, stop crying baby I've discovered I feel the same way about you, I'm really fallin for this independent girl stuff, I think we're good together, I know I'm not going anywhere, besides, both of us are going to be real busy in another month, I know I'm gonna have to get with the program if I'm going to pass the license exams, I'm sure it'll be the same for you." My face was buried in his chest but I managed a mumbled "Yes" Seriously, It wouldn't be a problem to jump on a bus and get to Laramie but the web cam idea is good too, we can always see each other, listen baby, I think our love is strong, strong enough to survive a little time and distance, don't you?"

I thought about it for a few moments, then pulled his face into mine and pressed my lips to his; we kissed and made out until sleep overtook us, drifting off in each other's arms.
