This story gets going quite slowly.. that’s because it stays true to the real event.. Yesterday I had quite a surprise. You see, Katinka and I we go back a longtime as friends. Way back to high school. We both went our separate ways for awhile, but about a year ago we met online again. It's funny that after more than ten years both of us had changed so much and also so little. I'm glad we get along so well.
Anyway, we talk well, share a lot of feelings, thoughts, experiences and because we go back such a long way there's none of the pressure that you might normally feel when boys and girls get together. Mind you she's a knockout!
Anyway yesterday something new happened, something I enjoyed and I think she did as well. And the cool thing is, not much seems to have changed since then, no awkward feelings, no resentment.
If I can just speak for myself: I just feel a bit closer to her and that's not a bad feeling. Maybe we can do it sometime again? ;-) We sure do it well..
This story has its origin in the chat session that we had yesterday, it's basically the story we told each other with all the he said/she said stuff edited out. It's the stuff dreams are made of...
We are out, high up in the Alps enjoying a winter vacation. We've both worked hard enough to deserve and appreciate seven days of sun, snow and glühwein. So we’re here.. as friends.. nothing more.. nothing less..
The first three days we've had great weather, lots of sun and fantastic skiing conditions. Each day we take the last ski lift up and ski across to our small and cozy hotel which is situated halfway on the piste.
Today is no exception, but the weather this time is totally different, all of a sudden a snowstorm has surprised us out on the mountain. The temperature dropped rapidly and so did our vision, we could hardly see more than 5 or 10 m.
After what seems like eternity we finally manage to end up at the hotel. It's nice and warm inside the hotel lobby, we go to our room to change into some casual gear and head on back downstairs to the sitting room next to the lobby.
There's a fire burning in the fireplace, and we take a seat on one of the three couches set up in a u-shape in front of the fireplace. We can hear the wind howling outside, we managed to get inside in time, now the wind has reached Gale force. We settle in, cover ourselves with one of the blankets, and warm ourselves by the fire.
Across from us on the other couch there's an woman of around 40, and a couple that's probably about our age. Next to us on our couch there's an older man, probably the same age as the woman. Everybody in our group seems to be a bit tipsy, I know we are because we had some glühwein while skiing.
I look over to you and see that your slowly starting to warm up. I'm sitting the closest to the fire, and I can feel the heat to my face. Over in the far corner, a group of 4 is playing trivial pursuit, they are quite loud, while everybody in our group seems to be slightly subdued, enjoying the company and conversation.
Suddenly the lights go out, girl in the other group lets off a scream and all of a sudden we are almost cast in darkness. The light from the fire casts eerie shadows on the walls and our group starts to giggle.
In no time at all, Monique(about 20), one of the staff comes walking in with candles and oil lights. She excuses herself for the inconvenience and goes on to say that the rest of the staff haven't been able to reach the cabin so she will be the one tending to our needs. You giggle.
Monique lights up the candles and oil lights and after finishing asks us if we want anything to drink. you order hot chocolate with rum, a whiskey for me and the guy sitting next to you, red wine for the Lady opposite us and screwdrivers for the couple next to her.
Now, with the candlelight and heat from the fire it seems even more cozy than before. We are sitting close to one another, the couches really aren't that spacious. I look at you and see you looking down at your lap.
I can see, barely noticeable a hand carressing you thigh beneath the blanket. You, ever so slightly press your leg against his, responding to his touch. I can see your eyes moving up, focusing on the Lady opposite doing her story, trying desperately to avoid looking his way.
Your thoughts are probably straying to his stroking fingers, that seem to stop and then teasingly start to carress again every time you’re just about to look to your side. Your 'friendly' neighbor is also pretending to listen intensely to the Lady across. Nobody would probably notice a thing. The trivial pursuit group gets up making a lot of noise and heads up to their bedrooms.
Just about then Monique comes in with our drinks, there is one extra, baileys, as it turns out for Monique, as she joins the group and takes her first sip. As I look around the group I notice the Lady looking discreetly at our blanket. I see her eyes following the movement of the hand beneath the blanket, slowly moving up and down your leg, sometimes a bit higher, sometimes staying teasingly close to your knee. I'm sure she's wondering what you're wearing and if I know that your being touched by someone else and enjoying it.
As you cast your eyes toward her, she turns toward me and you notice her eyes lingering on my lips before descending to our blanket. I'm sure you notice how she seems lost in her own thoughts.
