The evening had been wonderful. The first one in the several months since my wife had left. A few drinks after work, a movie, and then a late dinner. And Jennifer.
Mike works with me in the law firm. We both share research duties as we prepare for the BAR. He, and his wife Carol, had been friendly with my wife and me. After she left they had seen me through some very difficult times. Now, as I was preparing to re-enter the social arena, they were making every effort to see that I enjoyed myself.
Jennifer was a former room-mate of Carol's; they had been best friends in college. When I expressed an interest in dating again, Carol couldnโt resist. She set up a double date for the following Friday. Although I had too many apprehensions to mention, I was determined to go through with it.
Meeting at our favorite bar after work, I couldn't help but be impressed. Jennifer arrived a few minutes after Mike, Carol and I had finished our first drinks. She wore a modest white dress with just a little cleavage and a narrow slit up one thigh. With dark red hair, bronze skin, and deep brown eyes, she couldn't help but be adorable.
After the introductions, we all went through the basic "find out who you are" conversations. Jennifer was quiet, but confident. It was obvious that she was comfortable in her life, and that she wasnโt prepared just to let anyone in. The more we spoke, however, the more attracted I was. I thought I saw similar interest in Jennifer, but wasnโt sure until Carol pulled me aside when we left the bar.
"You've made it passed step one," Carol whispered in my ear. "She likes you, and thinks you're cute. Be patient, though. I wouldnโt want to see her hurt."
I was a little perplexed by Carol's final words, but was determined to see things through. "Is there something I should know,โ I asked?
"Yes," Carol whispered back. "But let her tell you. It has to be on her terms."
We went on to the movie and dinner, with Jennifer getting progressively warmer to me. There remained, however, a hesitance that I could not identify. We laughed, joked, teased, and even flirted. But every time Jennifer began to be overtly flirtatious, she would back off.
After a wonderful dessert, we all agreed it was getting late. Surprisingly, Jennifer asked if I would drive her home. I eagerly agreed.
I had had a wonderful evening, and wanted very much to see Jennifer again. I told her so on the drive to her house. "I would like to see you again, too," she told me, brushing her hand against my arm. "Pick me up tomorrow morning at ten. I'll take you on a picnic!"
Before I could agree or disagree, she gave me a quick peck on the lips and walked to her door.

The next morning, hoping picnics were still casual, I pulled on jeans and a t-shirt. When I pulled up in Jennifer's drive, she bounced out with a large basket. Putting the basket in the back seat, she sat down and kissed me on the cheek. "I just wanted you to know how much fun I had last night," she said. "I can be really shy, and didnโt want you to get the wrong message."
It would have been hard to get the wrong message that morning. Dressed in tan hiking shorts and a tight denim shirt tied below her breasts, Jennifer definitely wasn't trying to hide her appearance. Although not tanned, her body was very fit. I couldn't help sneaking a few peaks down her shirt while we talked. Small and firm enough to not need a bra, her breasts were capped with nipples that puffed out much larger than I would have expected.
She caught me looking, once, and gave me that hesitant smile. I thought I had blown it, but after a few quiet moments, she was boisterously giving directions again.
