"Hay stranger. How's life been treating you?"
Do you remember when you were a kid and you opened that one present that made all other presents seem worthless? Do you remember when you kissed the boy or girl that made you feel like everything inside just flipped? Remember the tear you shed when the fingers of your first-born wrapped around your finger?
Well all of these emotions happened to me in an instant, as I have been listening to replays of that voice in my head for the last 30 years. My eyes blurred and my ears started to buzz. I became dizzy and only then did I realize my heart was pounding incredibly hard. Immediately I dropped to one knee, but as I did this, my hand did not go to the floor to balance myself, it reached behind me to grab that voice so it would not get away.
As I reached back, two small soft hands reached forward to grab me. They wrapped around my chest and a body came with them. Feeling the hands around me made me gasp and as I did the smell was just as intense as the sound of her voice. A thousand pictures rushed through my head, but instead of it being my life flashing before my eye it was one wonderful summer. Her and I, age 20, south Texas young and in love.
It is ;ate afternoon Friday and I was sitting on the curb as she came and plopped down beside me.
"Don't feel like playing?" she asked
"No, I twisted my ankle right when we got out here. I changed into my boots so the swelling wouldn't get too bad. It is hard to play foot ball with a sprain in boots." I said in reply.
"The girls are at the pool. Do you want to come swimming?"
"You're going to need to help me walk that far. My car is by the pool anyway, and I would much rather you help me than one of those hairy MF's on the field right now."
"OH! High praise! Thanks!"
"That is not what I meant and you know that."
She stood and said, "Shut up and just get up so I can hang with some one nice."
I moaned and gasped as I got to my feet "Stop! Please!? I really didn't mean it that way." I said as I put my arm around her.
As we walked off she was walking to fast and making it a point not to talk to me, so I kept quiet too and just made "ugh" and "Owfff" noises as we walked.
We made it to the pool and I ask if she could help me take off my boots. This was a bad idea, because she was still mad and I was hurt. These are not a good combination. So as I screamed she put a foot on my inter thigh and yanked with all she had at my boot covered sprained foot. Her foot slipped into my groin and smashed a nut as my boot came off. Two good things came from this. One was my boot came off really fast and the other was my nut hurt so bad I no longer cared about my foot. At least until she made a gasp sound and said "What the hell happened to your foot?!"
So there I am. Ice on my nuts and my foot lifted high on a pillow laying on a pretty girls bed with her cooing me thinking she really fuck up my, now black and blue, ankle that she thought she had something to do with.
"Again, it was being tackle by that fat ass Paul that did this." Pointing to my ankle. "You did this" pointing to my nuts.
She handed me a pill of some kind and said, "Well anyway take these and stay here for a while. Ok?"
"Sure, all the guys are going to the bar and I'm not old enough to drink anyway. Oh, and even if I could I would rather hang out with a pretty girl any day." I quickly added.
"Ok. That is the second time you have said that. Do you really find me attractive? All the girls we hang out with are tall blond and have legs that go all the way up. I'm short, I have plain brown hair, and all the girls say I'm to loud to be coy, like they are."
"Coy? What the fuck does Coy have to do with anything? You have a wonderful smile, you have great curves (I mumbled an extra "Damn good curves" under my breath just loud enough for her to hear), and are possibly the most feminine woman I have ever seen. You sit, move, laugh, walk, smile, damn everything about you is just,,, sexyish, womanish, girlyish, just damn! Damn! Damn you are fine!"
She now had turned so red that if I wasn't on fire I bet I could feel the heat coming off of her. Then she leaned in and kissed me. It was a hot kiss as we were both young and full of lust, but it had a very soft side to it that I had never had from all the girls before. She also kissed in a very feminine way and it just melted me.
My nuts really only hurt for about two minutes, and I was getting great sympathy for the made up pain, but now was not the time to be playing the sick puppy. I pulled her to me and kissed her, Well. I could feel her pressing up against me and I loved the way it felt. We sat there for the next hour and just touched and kissed each other.
It wasn't tell we stop that I remembered we were in her folks place. "Hay! Your parents got that crazy pool installed when you move out. Right?"
"Yes! I hate that pool. 12 years of begging for a pool and the year I move out they drop more on the pool then they did for my dental work, car, and fist year of college combined. That's kind of a crappy thing to do. Right?"
