’ This guy, this Dick, sounded pathetic. ‘Then why did you do it?’ He stammered something about being lonely, about having too much to drink an... then apologized again. He sounded pitiful. I had to smile. I pictured this spaz of a guy with heavily taped black glasses, a geek with a pocket protector. He probably lived with his mom and had porno mags hidden in his closet. ‘Well, I just wanted to say I hope I didn’t ruin your sleep or your evening,’ said the dismal guy. ‘I’m sorry and won’t do it. There was this guy in one of my college classes that has been asking me out for some time now and I think it was time to take him up on his offer. Bill was a class act and knew how to treat a woman. I didn’t tell him this was going to be my first date, after all I was almost twenty years old now, still living at home and never been kissed. All I had to compare with was erotic stories I have read and porn videos, but nothing real. In the back of my mind I had the fear of what he was going to say. He was a civilian contractor for the Genta military. The dozen men with him built bridges, float bridges and improved roads.This was one of their breaks to rest. I took my father's ten millimeter pistol and an old rifle. The ride north was in a smaller cargo plane and I only had a single duffle with my clothes and a couple of blankets. When the plane landed I followed Charles as everyone walked off. First we had to get a ride to a set of storage containers.That was where we picked up the heavy. "The emotion I felt most strongly was attraction, Michael ... Attraction for you."Saying nothing, I simply wrapped my arms around Narvenia, pulling her higher in the bed, her lips closer to mine. After all that she had told me, and the all the feelings I felt pouring from her, I couldn't help myself. I opened my heart to her.Immediately I knew that something was different. Everything seemed ... more. More something...However, I was losing myself in the depths of our combined love, so I didn't.
