Back during my first summer after I moved out of my parents house, I encountered a love I had never felt.
I had recently moved out of my house to be roommates with my friend Candace. Candace was a white skinned, but Latino female that I had worked with at my current job. She was slightly tall, had long, light brown hair, and beautiful, vibrant eyes. Her smile was cute, and she was well developed all around her body. Even so, she was kind of what most people would consider a nut. She lost her mind over boys, and got angry and forceful at work. Her aggression was a quiet, calm looking anger. When she spoke, her words seemed to lash out in attack, and in this, she had made a few enemies.
Many a night, me and Candace would walk around our suburban neighborhood. We talked about lots of things, ranging for boys, fashion, and beauty. As we spoke, I noticed that she didn't really hear my words. Most of the times, she was looking past me, and speaking to only the person in front of her, Not really the person I was.
Still, she needed someone to help with the rent payments at her house. When she extended the offer to me to move in with her, I jumped right on it. Getting out of my parents house was something I wanted, and Candace was a real beauty. The idea of seeing her every morning and night made my heart warm.
Candace lived with two other roommates, who each had the other rooms in the house. This means, I was to literally live with Candace, in the same room. We shared the same space, the same bathroom, and the same bed.
Many things happened over the months. Me and Candace discovered we hated and loved each other. We adjusted to each other's habits, and it went relatively well, with little complication.
One day, me and Candace were lying in bed, laughing about some stupid joke. I pointed out to Candace how funny it was to combine two peoples names together. As we said the names, we couldn't resist curling up with laughter. Eventually, Candace rolled on her side toward me and said "Hey Drew, know what else?"
Calming myself down from my laughter, I asked her what's up.
Candace moved her finger up my arm, it a slightly teasing manner. I think it was more of a show of affection, not so much a sensuous tease. Either way, the touch sent chills up and down my body. My body stopped its cold, and suddenly, I was covered in warmth. I smiled at Candace.
