Hal agreed and I was so unsure. Was I supposed to be happy or mad? I just shook my head, sure that I was never going to understand him.

Being around Marilyn was hard after our few moments of insanity. They hadn’t lasted very long, obviously because of me. I didn’t know what I was doing with her, I was so confused. A week went by and nothing happened between us, though I was aching for it. Marilyn was busy and I was left wanting. I knew that there wasn’t much I was going to get out of it if I couldn’t have all of her. Since I was trying to keep my distance for sanity’s purposes, it was hard on me.
Having bad dreams most nights, I had several more in that week, and I woke up to Marilyn almost every time. She was better at keeping her distance and I didn’t know if that was for me or for her. I didn’t drag her to me for a kiss, so I figured that it was a winning strategy. It didn’t mean that I had to like it though.
Marilyn would go back to her room, even though my body would be just as raging as it had been the first time. Marilyn wasn’t there to see it, so I would straighten up most of the time pretty quickly. Staying with her was wreaking havoc on my mental state. She was all I thought about, being with her, feeling her body and kissing her again. It was all more than I could focus on. I tried to think of other ways that I could bring us together, but what was the point? I was backing out just as much as she was.
When she suggested that we go out again, I didn’t know how to feel about it. Last time had ended so differently than I had seen it going. I didn’t know if I could pretend that night hadn’t happened. I wasn’t like that, and it had definitely happened for me.
“Where do you want to go?” We’d been going back and forth to the city almost every day for her court hearings, so I wouldn’t have minded staying back and in for one night. Marilyn was full of movement though and wanted to try new things.
“Do you want to go for a drive up to the lake? It probably isn’t too cold, and we could get some swimming in, take that hike up to the summit like we used to?”
My eyes must have widened, because all of her suggestions sounded like we were going to have some fun. I was immediately made hard thinking about it, and I had to move to keep that from being known.
“What are we going to do out there?” I asked casually.
Marilyn looked at me and sighed. “Do you really not know?”
I had an idea about what I wanted to happen, but I wasn’t sure if that was correct. I just wanted a clear sign, in plain English, but it didn’t look like that was going to happen.
We got ready to go and she never told me directly what we were going to do. I had my hopes, but it wasn’t a clear answer. We packed a light lunch and decided to make a day of it. I thought that it would be a good idea to pack a picnic blanket, because I had every intention of doing bad things to Marilyn. I knew that it was going to happen. I was still irked by what she had said the other day, but not enough that I would waste such a chance to be with her. I could still feel her body pressed against mine and her lips on mine as well. Was there anything else to think about? I really hoped she was thinking along the same lines or honestly, I was screwed.
The hike got us all hot and sweaty, and Marilyn was just as competitive as she had always been. She’d wanted to race at several places, so when we got to the water, it was just as tantalizing as it could be. I was down to swim trunks in moments, and Marilyn had on a two-piece. I about choked when she slid her clothes off and started into the water. All thoughts of trying to avoid this went out the window. Obviously, I wasn’t going to be able to deny myself or Marilyn. This was what came next.
“Do you want to swim out to the island?”
There was a small island in the middle of the river. It wasn’t that large, maybe ten people tops could stand on it at one time, but it was so cute in pictures, and I really wanted to go. I imagined laying her down on the sand there and finally having my way with her body. It was all I could think of, and I knew that we’d finally reached the perfect time and place.
Marilyn agreed, unbeknownst to our plan, and it wasn’t until we got there that it was clear that we wouldn’t be alone there. Since the plan had banked on us being alone, the disappointment was horrible when I saw that we weren’t. There was already a couple there and I wondered if they had the same thing on their mind. It didn’t matter, we both couldn’t stay, so we headed back as soon as we got to them.
Marilyn was the first to laugh, though at the moment I didn’t find too much humor. As we got out of the water, I took in her body and sucked in a bit of air. She looked magnificent. I couldn’t stand how good she looked. I was amazed by how perfect her body was. The water dripped off of her reluctantly.
“I really wish it would have been just us,” I lamented.
She agreed and said that we should start heading back. The sky looked like it was about to kick up a storm. I would have stayed if we were alone, had every intention on it minutes ago, but since we weren’t alone enough to do anything, it seemed better to get out of there. I had a plan formulating, and I asked her where she wanted to go.
“We could try going back to my place. You need to follow the speed limit this time, so we don’t have a repeat.”
I agreed, even if I felt like I could have handled myself better. I wasn’t going to let anything get in between us again. I couldn’t.
The walk back to the car was a long one, or it felt like it because of the wet clothes. Both of us changed into dryer clothes when we got there, but I was the only one that got caught peeking. Marilyn’s hips were a bit rounder, and her top was larger, but everything else was the same. She had only a few scars and perfect skin. Back in the day I had loved the way her legs looked, and I still did. How could she have not aged in all that time? It didn’t seem fair, but I loved the way it looked.
We watched the sun go down and I held her in my arms. I was at peace with her leaning back against me. I could see the peace on Marilyn’s face as well. It was clear to me that she was ready for something more. She looked up at me at just the right time and I fell in love. It wasn’t meant to be, but that was exactly what I needed. All of those feelings came rushing back to me and she was tightly in my arms. I could feel her soft curves pressing up against me and damned if I didn’t love the feel of it. I wanted to take all of her into me, consume her in some way, but I was going to have to go with a kiss to start.
Marilyn’s moan in the back of her throat sent me on edge. I didn’t know what to do. Every nerve in my body was paying attention all of a sudden. I didn’t know what to do, but there wasn’t too much more I could do here. I thought of bending her against the car, but that wouldn’t give me what I wanted. I needed time and her laying down. I wanted it the right way, which meant that we needed to get out of here.
After a few moments, Marilyn was clinging to me, and I was the one that gave us distance. “Do you want to go back to your place and see what kind of mischief we can get into?”
She nodded her head, stopping all of the drama inside of my head. As long as I soon had her in my arms, what could go wrong?
