We had seen each other numerous times from across the bar. Tonight however, we are both by ourselves. As I sit here I feel something different when I see you, a flutter deep in my stomach. I look over at you just in time to catch your gaze back at me. Our eyes lock momentarily and I feel a slight weakness in my knees. I can’t help but think about what it would be like to feel your strong arms wrapped tightly around me. I must have been deep in this daydream because I did not even notice you get up from your chair and come over to me. Without saying a word you take my hand and lead me to the dance floor. You pull me close to your body and embrace me tightly.
My whole body is weak as you look intently into my eyes. You lean into me further and begin to kiss me softly and tenderly. I eagerly kiss you back while we continue dancing as if we were in our own world. As the song comes to an end we reluctantly pull our lips apart. You whisper in my ear that you want to take me back to your apartment. I look up at you and simply nod my head. You take me by the hand and lead me out of the bar. You open the car door for me to get in. You climb behind the wheel and lean over to lightly kiss me. My stomach is doing flips just being near you, a feeling I haven’t felt in so long. We sit in a comfortable silence on the way to your place. As we pull into the driveway I almost feel faint but it as if you can read my mind because you reach over and give my thigh a gentle squeeze. Strangely enough this is just what I need to put me at ease.
