Missy was a gorgeous redhead woman, whom was beautiful both inside and out. She and I had grown up across the street from one another, and knew each other from grade school. Missy was very tall, almost 6 foot tall, and growing up she was rather awkward physically, however she blossomed into a stunning woman by the time we graduated high school. I had always found Missy attractive but we were always just friends, and she never gave me any indication that she saw me as anything more. I was only 5'10, shorter than Missy, and she always dated taller guys.
Missy got married at a young age, to a handsome military man named John, and they moved far away. John was very tall, about 6'3, and was very muscular. From time to time Missy would come visit our old neighborhood. It was always fun to see Missy, and we always enjoyed being in the company of one another. During one of Missy's visits home, I was somewhat sad, since I had just broken up with my long time girlfriend. I had recently graduated college, and was starting on my career. I was excited about Missy's visit, since there was a lot of catching up that we had to do. My parent's were away on vacation, and Missy came over to hang out. Her husband John had been stationed overseas, for several months. Missy was living down South, sort of alone in a big City. Missy and I began drinking, and we both started telling one another how alone we each felt at the time. Missy also revealed to me that she was not happy in her marriage to John, and that she was pretty certain he had been cheating on her. I was surprised and saddened to hear this news from Missy, since she was about the most beautiful person I'd ever seen, and I could not imagine someone cheating on her.
Feeling sad for Missy, I gave her a hug and told her that everything would be ok. The next thing I knew, Missy was passionately kissing me. I had often fantasized about this moment when I was younger, but I was in shock and could not believe that we were actually kissing. I pulled away suddenly, and shot a puzzled look at this gorgeous lady. Her green eyes stared back at me, as tears slowly rolled down her cheeks.
"Missy, I love you," I muttered to my own amazement. With this, she grabbed the back of my head and pulled me closer for another kiss.
"I love you too. So much. I should have told you this, but I have always been in love with you," said Missy.
"I didn't want to mess up our friendship," Missy quietly mumbled, as she continued to kiss me.
