It was another sleepless hot summer night. I rolled over in bed breathing another sigh of frustration as I glanced at the alarm clock and saw it was 2:27 am. It seemed hours had passed restlessly tossing and turning with yet another failed attempt to go to sleep. The moon was full peaking through the blinds. I was entwined in the sheets with one leg out to stay cool through the night. My nightshirt was twisted and loosely buttoned….my tanned breast were revealed by the moonlight and my nipples were very hard. I lay there a few moments tempted by the desire to touch myself and suddenly felt the urge to go outside and smoke a cigarette.
I walked out of my apartment; it was dark with only the reflection of the moon on the swimming pool. There was a beautiful breeze and I walked over to the vine-covered pavilion overlooking the pool. As I walked around to the front of it, I was startled to see a male figure lying across one of the picnic tables under the pavilion. It was a familiar face and body. A guy I frequently had seen at my apartment complex. I had not been able to figure out his age but he was about 6 ft tall, blonde, tanned and very thin with muscular arms and legs…. often walking to the mailroom or laundry room with his shirt off and some baggy shorts.
My guess was he was a college student. Every time our eyes would meet, he would sort of stop in his stride and glare at me, then look away. There was some kind of attraction there…not sure, but his beautiful piercing blue eyes would capture me and I wouldn't be able to look away for a moment… it was almost as if he was looking through me, behind my eyes. I would always say "Hi" first, and then he would smile and say hi. I knew he was shy because he would only say Hi, or "how are you doing?," always in a cautious way sensing he was nervous about a real conversation. He had to have known I was older, but that didn't seem to matter.
And there he was… lying on one of the tables under the pavilion, smoking a cigarette. I felt a rush of heat run through my body and I started to turn and walk away but then he saw me. I guess I startled him too because he jumped up from the table and sat up with his legs propped up on the bench part of the table.
