I sat there, leaning against the bar to steady myself. Tears ran down my cheeks. I had finally gotten the call. The call that I had been waiting for. I was finally able to move far away from here. To be where I wanted to be. But the cost would be great. For five weeks I had been waiting to hear that I could go, knowing that the time would come. The day my boyfriend left, I knew I would be with him again, I just didn't know when. Then he came into my life.
As soon as John had left, I went to talk to Tammy, the lady who managed my apartment complex. We had been friends for quite a while, but with John leaving before I could, I needed a place to stay. Tammy agreed to let me live with her. I didn't see him at first, sitting on the couch, as I stood crying and telling Tammy about how I was sad that John was gone, knowing that I would see him someday soon. He just sat there, intent on watching me. Determined to have me. As he watched me standing there, vulnerable, he had difficulty containing his excitement. He wanted me, but I didn't even notice him. After I had calmed down, Tammy introduced me to Colter. He was her new "houseboy" and was there to help with handyman work around the apartments during the day. Upon meeting I nodded to him. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to..." my voice trailed off.
"It's quite all right. I understand." Colter replied.
I was quite at ease and surprised. Here was a man that I had never met; yet I felt completely comfortable with him. "Hmmm... and he's kinda cute, too," I thought to myself.
"Well, I need to get Colter home. Come with me so that you can pick him up in the morning. I'm going to sleep in now that you're here," Tammy said.
We piled into Tammy's car and drove Colter home. Nothing was said on the drive and an obvious tension was building between us. We spent the next month together in a completely platonic friendship. We shared our most intimate thoughts and fantasies with each other. We sat talking for hours. And then he started to make his move. I would be standing and dusting the furniture. He would come up behind me, grab me, and suck on my ear, ever so briefly, but long enough that when he stepped back to walk away, my panties were completely soaked from the intense arousal he awakened in me. He did this occasionally for another week, until I got the call.
After that call came in, I had to take him home. It was that time. I was excited about the prospect of moving, but consumed with feelings of regret because I hadn't truly explored what I could with Colter. He had unlocked a desire within me I had never felt with John. I didn't want to leave without experiencing Colter, even if it was only for one night.
On the drive to his house, Colter said, "I'm going camping this weekend. I won't be back until late on Sunday," he said.
"Oh. Where are you going camping?" I asked.
"Mt. Rainier. The guys from the house and I are going to go. One of the guys has a boat. It's going to be a lot of fun."
"Will there be any girls there?" I ask out of curiosity.
"No, unless you want to come up," he said.
