Tried to Be Chill
Our first meetings had been perfunctory and polite. Soon we began discussing books and philosophy. I had nothing but time and she had plenty of books. It didn't take long for us to begin arguing.
I liked it. Most people either ignored me or humored me after the accident. She gave me no quarter.
One night we were alone, drinking wine in front of the fire.
Nestled close we talked instead of arguing. She was practically in my lap when she got up for more wine and stumbled. She flopped gracelessly on top of me and when she looked up, I couldn't resist. Even in disarray she was beautiful. I kissed her tentatively, testing the waters.
She returned my advance deepening the kiss. Delicate hands slipped under my shirt, then lower and lower. Feather light touches and fiery kisses. I wanted to tell her to stop, that it was no good.
"It's a wasted effort, but thank you for trying."
My mind fogged with what felt like desire. Could she really have done that?
The exploration continued and her green eyes flickered with mischief. I felt familiar warmth increase and radiate. Was this really happening? I'd thought it impossible. The bulge in my pants proved otherwise.
After a final searing kiss she stood up, smiled and cooed, "Have sweet dreams, Jean. I know I will."
As the door shut behind her I whispered, "I will." For the first time in a long time I believed it.
