It was one of those casual meetings. He over heard her mention a hiking trip to a colleague in the lunch room and joined in. They discussed some trails that they had done in common and some of those they each had in mind for the future.
"There's this one spot you'd love." He said "What do you have planned for next Sunday?"
This invitation was out of character for him. He usually had a much harder time approaching a woman as good looking as she was but the words were out.
"If the weather is going to be good I'd love to join you." came the equally spontaneous reply.
"How about coffee or a bite to eat after work so we can set it all up?"
"I'd like that." She replied "Timmy's at 5:30?"
"Great, I guess I'd better get back to work now." He said reluctantly.
Over coffee they talked about things they had in common, finding many interests that they shared. He had checked the forecast and the weather promised to be fine. Finally they decided where to meet on Sunday morning for the drive to the trail head.
Sunday arrived bright and clear as predicted with the humidity low and moderate temperature it promised to be an exceptional day for a hike.
He parked the car beside a narrow entrance between trees where a path could be just seen in the forest surface.
"It looks like we will have the trail to our selves." She observed.
As they walked they quickly became at ease with each other and as the trail widened he took her hand so they walked a little closer. Eventually though they had to separate as the trail became steeper, dropping into a concealed stream bed.
The waterfall filled the tiny valley with sound, a soft tinkling rippling noise that seemed to set a languorous mood for the couple. They sat on a moss covered rock and kissed, gently at first. Soon the kiss became more and more passionate with tongues dueling.
"Take off your clothes." he demanded.
She unbuttoned her blouse and stepped from her shoes and jeans to stand nude before him.
"Now you." she responded.
