Chapter 02: The Next Day
I awoke on the Sunday morning without the usual desperate feelings to masturbate; granted, I was erect, but that was natural. As I became properly conscious I recalled the previous evening and lay there wondering if my luck had really changed, but cursing myself that I had not had the necessary protection to hand when I had needed it.
I had breakfast and set about tidying the boat in preparation for my promised date later.
Maybe I shouldn't have invited Sue to Brigand, when all I had was a two-tiered bunk, whereas she had a rather comfy-looking double bed aboard her modern cruiser.
I decided we would have a stir-fry to eat and made a list for the Supermarket, adding the rather important item I needed from the Chemist section.
It was after ten when I set off to the shops and I noticed her saloon curtains were still closed. Much as I would have liked to have called aboard, I resisted the temptation and concentrated on the matter in hand, returning about half an hour later loaded with shopping and the Sunday papers. By then Sue's curtains were drawn back, but no sign of her, so once again I went straight back to Brigand.
After spending the rest of the morning keeping up to date with the news, I had a quick snack and then started preparing the veg for the meal. Much could be done in advance, leaving just the short cooking session until her planned arrival at seven.
By six I had showered and shaved, and dug out clean slacks and a shirt that had to be ironed.
At six forty-five I heard her cheerful shout from the pontoon and went on deck.
"Can you take this from me?" said a young lady from the shore -- a lady I hardly recognized.
Sue had changed dramatically from the scruffy girl I had met the day before; I took the two bottles of wine she handed me and helped her down onto the deck.
"I wasn't sure it was you," I said.
"Why? -- Expecting someone else?" she gave me a worried look.
"Well, I had expected a young lady from a boat over there, but she looked like a boating type. Now I've got a visitor who appears to have come down from the town for a formal function!!"
Sue chuckled and did a little twirl for me. "Do you approve? I did say I'd make a bit of an effort"
I just stood and gaped at her lovely smile, topped by shiny curly hair. She had a sheer white blouse that clearly showed a lacy bra, and she wore a barely-respectable short flared skirt and tights or stockings, with sensible flat shoes. Lipstick and her other make-up made her look not just attractive, but quite stunning and very desirable.
"I don't know what to say" I murmured, "You have transformed yourself"
"Just let me give you a little little kiss to remind you that it IS me"
We embraced and her lips tasted sublime as we held each other close.
"Ummm" I said, as I held her at arm's length, "It IS you -- and you are looking absolutely gorgeous. Now, how about a drink? Wine or scotch?"
"I'd love a scotch, please" Sue replied, sitting on the sofa seat and showing a vast amount of nylon-covered shapely leg.
"I hope you can cope with a stir-fry?"
"Oh yes, lovely -- but don't make me use chopsticks -- I can never get the food all the way to my mouth!!"
While Sue sipped her drink, I started to cook and I suddenly heard her giggling.
She pointed a finger at the side table. "Now that's the first time I've ever had such an obvious hint regarding a man's intentions"
I realized that she was pointing at the small packet I had bought at the chemist.
"Whoops" I said, "Sorry. I didn't mean that to be on public view"
"Don't be silly -- I'm just glad you remembered too" She patted the small clutch bag she had been holding. "I went to the shops as well -- just in case you forgot!!"
We both laughed "I hope you aren't expecting me to need two packets!!!! There are limitations to a man's capabilities -- even when faced with a sexy lady like the one I'm entertaining!!"
"And just remember that this lady is a little out of practice too" she chuckled, "I would like to be able to walk after dinner"
"There isn't any rush for anything" I assured her, "Neither of us is intending to leave our moorings imminently, are we?"
"I think "At Last" is almost welded to the pontoon by now. I certainly have no ideas of setting off on a long voyage"
"Good, because dinner is all ready. I'll just open the wine. D'you want your red, or the white I have already chilled?"
"White will be nice with that. The red can keep until next time -- if you feel there could be a next time".
"Highly likely -- for my part anyway" I said as I dished out her meal.
She nodded and smiled, raising her glass "This is a lovely meal -- you ARE clever. Cheers!"
Realising that one wine bottle was now empty, I opened the second as we finished our meal and cleared the table so that I could fold down the leaf and give us more room.
We moved as close together as was possible and I kissed her neck, making her purr with pleasure as my hand cupped the curve of her breast.
