The doors open and an avalanche of people begin rushing out of the opening. Since the plane landed ten minutes ago and I've been pacing, waiting for you to come down the walkway. Your image is permanently etched into my mind from countless online video meetings and photographs. I lean forward, trying to catch a glimpse of you through the sea of people. In all the chaos, I am worried you won't find me. Then I see you. My breath catches in my chest as I finally see you in person for the first time. My heart flutters as our eyes meet for the first time. As you start toward me, a smile lights up your face. I want to run to you but my legs will not even allow me to walk. We stare into each other's eyes for endless seconds and suddenly our self-consciousness is gone. You pull me into your arms and kiss me with all the pent up passion of living apart.
After what seems like hours, probably only a few minutes, we realize we're alone in the waiting area. Laughing, you pick up your bag and I take your hand. Most of the time I'm impatient, but today I don't care if we wait for your luggage all day, as long as you're standing next to me. I'm totally happy just to stare at you, hear your voice, and touch your face. I can't stop touching you, holding your hand or pulling you to me for another kiss.
When we finally get to my car, we are smiling so big our faces are beginning to get sore, but we couldn't stop if we tried. As we pull out into traffic, I realize we've barely said two words to each other. We've been far too busy staring at each other and kissing. Since it's a bit dangerous to kiss me while I'm driving in downtown Dallas, we settle for holding hands and talking about your trip, my schoolwork, the dogs...anything to keep our minds out of the gutter, at least for now.
When we get back to my place, I tell you I've got everything ready for you to shower...because I know how relaxing it can be after a long flight. We bring your things in (not an easy task with Sortudo mauling us with each step) and I send you to shower, alone. For the moment, anyway. As soon as I hear the water come on, I make my way to the dining room. Hoping I'm not going overboard, I light a few candles and lower the lights. I contemplate joining you in the shower, but decide to finish making our dinner instead.
As you emerge from your shower, a soft country love song guides you to the kitchen. You stop behind me, kissing my neck and whispering in my ear. Laughing, I hand you your plate. I want to simply rip your clothes off but I try to be patient, wanting everything to be perfect on our first night together. We eat and listen to the music for a while...and then I ask if you'd like to dance with me. You agree of course, and I go over to the stereo to put on the right song. As the music starts, you take my hand, and we begin to move together. It's as if we were meant to dance this way forever. Holding each other and swaying with the music inevitably leads to kissing. When the song ends, we remain close, both of us incapable of breaking contact. Your hand cups my breast, tweaking my already hardened nipple. I can feel your arousal pressing into me, which adds to my own excitement.
