Today has gone from being a nightmare to a fairy tale. After our walk on the beach, Wes takes me to a restaurant by the water, for delicious Italian food. We talk a lot, getting to know more about each other’s families, our work and our hobbies. It’s stuff we haven’t talked about much, which kind of seems strange in a way. I feel like I know him so well already, but I have a lot left to learn, of course.
And it’s different now, anyway. These past few days, we’ve spent a lot of time getting to know one another physically, exploring one another’s bodies whenever we had the chance. For the first time, we get to sit down together and share a meal without the fear that we are doing something wrong. And as we talk and laugh together, I realized how right Wes is. I shouldn’t be worrying about what my father thinks. When was the last time he did something and considered how it would make me feel? It seems ridiculous that I care what he thinks. That’s not something I can just switch off, but for now, I’m putting him out of sight and out of mind. Wes has put a smile on my face like no other. Now, more than before, I’m certain that all this drama has been worth it.
As we finish up our meal, we head back along the shoreline to where the car is parked. I have butterflies in my stomach. I’m going to his house for the first time which is exciting in itself, but I know that going home will mean fulfilling the desires that have been building up all day inside us both. I can tell he feels it too from the way he looks at me, the way he acts, the way he touches me. It’s the little things...sometimes he’ll wink at me from across the table, or offer me a secretive little smile. In the restaurant, he sat close to me instead of opposite me, pouring me wine when I wanted it and grazing my thigh with his hand. It’s both sexy and loving at the same time. I’ve always wanted something that walks the line between both, and finally experiencing it has me more excited than I could ever have imagined.
It only makes me wonder what will happen when we’re alone behind closed doors. Without sharing a house with a hundred other people, our experience is going to be so different. Sex is going to be taken to new heights. We can experiment, make as much noise as we want, relax and enjoy one another’s bodies. It’s something I can’t take my mind off. And judging by the hard on I can see bulging through Wes’ pants, he’s having similar thoughts.
“I’m looking forward to showing you my place,” he says as he drives us back out of the city. “I think you’re going to like it...and hey. My place is your place, okay? You can stay as long as you want, and come over whenever you feel like it. I’ll get you a key, and make some space for your stuff…”
“I don’t really have a lot of clothes or anything,” I tell him. “Being a student has me kind of tight on money, I guess.”
“Well, I guess I’ll just have to treat you to some new things to keep at mine,” he says, reaching for my hand and bringing it to his lips to kiss. I feel tingles all over my skin. I’ve never had a man in my life who wants to treat me. My father never even bothered to send a birthday gift once a year after he left. I don’t care about money and status, but to have someone who is so desperate to treat me feels good. It makes me feel loved and wanted. It’s a small added bonus to all the other lovely things Wes has done for me, and I feel warm inside knowing that as his girl, I’m going to be treated like a Queen.
His house isn’t too far out from my father’s. It makes me feel a little uncomfortable at first, but when I notice that the house is hidden behind hedges and a gate, it makes me feel better. This feels like his own private space. I don’t even think my father would dare show up here and cause a scene. Even if he did, he wouldn’t get through the gate. As soon as we drive through into his private property, I know for sure that tonight it’s just going to be me and Wes.
He helps me out of the car just like before, and I hide my blush behind my hair. It all feels a little foreign, as lovely as it is. I’ve never even been to a man’s house before, at least not one who is a love interest. Now, I suddenly have a boyfriend who loves me and wants to show me his place, and it’s a little overwhelming. Still, I can’t wait to get inside.
