By my third year of school a fellow classmate caught my eye. She was afew years older than I was. I really thought about approaching her. Shethough...was the kind of lady who everyone noticed. A real 10 if you knowwhat I mean, very classy. One Friday I was at a get together at someone'sapartment when she walked in with two of her friends. Most importantlyher friends were both women.Through the evening I moved from one conversation to the next and foundmyself in a group that she also was in.. ”She blushed. “Have you been listening or just looking?”“Both. With you, there is no ‘just’ ever involved.”Now, she was really blushing. However, she was smiling also. I basked in the warmth of that smile.I paid and tipped. We left for the Garden of the Gods.We arrived at the visitors’ center. We looked at everything inside. I was willing. After all, she was holding my hand. We left with a map and returned to the car. We changed into our sneakers planning to take the trails after driving. It was the strange, hesitant reply, “I…I… think so,” spoken in a breathless sort of whisper, that caught his attention. His gaze rose from the counter and he saw, first a pair of really nice legs, then a short, flouncy white skirt encasing a slightly wide pair of hips. Above that an emerald-green blouse with at least one too many buttons undone, displaying more cleavage than Bird had ever seen at such close range, and finally, a face that under normal circumstances he would have found quite. "I think we probably ought to move the cars back up to the end of the track so that they don't get biffed by any passing tractors." Dead right! I wouldn't want my car biffed, or vandalised for that matter." I doubt that would happen around here but I take your point. Can you squeeze Teal in as I don't think I can fit her in mine?" Sure, come on, Teal."Teal looked questioningly at Richard."Yes, Teal!" he said. "She's quite safe and won't steal you and you've got Tilly to protect you."Deborah.
