“Then you’re going to have to be the one to tell him about this. Like I said, I can’t do everything for you, my dear but one thing I do want to tell you. Don’t lose sleep over it, you’re going to find it’s not that big a deal to him, he’s proven to you and me that he’s a man of his word. He told the truth about who he was and how he was before he even came over for dinner.” Glenda raised her eyebrows at me.

I wasn’t in the mood for tea, I was tired and wanted to make sure that I didn’t look tired when Luke came knocking the next morning.

“I’m going to go up and get some sleep. We have a big day tomorrow.” I smiled at her, stifling a yawn the best I could.

“Is there anything you want to bring to the beach with you? Like maybe you could have a picnic there.” Glenda suggested.

“I don’t want him to bribe him with food Glenda. I think that we’ll be alright.” I laughed at her, shaking my head as I got up from the table.

“I’m glad that you had a wonderful evening tonight. Please don’t fret about tomorrow. Take it in stride and whatever happens, just let it happen.” Glenda told me.

“Thanks, Glenda.” It was the first time that I reached over and gave her a hug, a thank you wasn’t going to cut it. I wanted to show her just how much it meant to me that she stuck around when she could’ve just left. The way she had taken charge of setting up she didn’t have to do but she chose to do.

“You’re more than welcome Ms. Evans.” She hugged me back and when I let go of her, I realized that in just one day I had more fun with her than I had my parent’s a strange time to think of that but that’s what crossed my mind as I pulled away from her and headed up the stairs to bed.

As soon as I got into bed I couldn’t go to sleep, as tired as I was downstairs I thought I would be able to fall asleep quickly but that wasn’t the case at all. I know that Glenda had told me not to worry about my problem but that was the thing that kept me up. I tossed and turned trying to get comfortable when I never had to worry about sleep finding me before and the more I thought about kissing Luke the more anxious I got.

I was supposed to be as happy as any woman could be, and I was but there weren’t many women that I knew that were virgins. Everyone was one at one time or another but I still didn’t have any experience. Sure I let a man get to first and second base but when it came to going all the way I always found a way out of it, when Luke looked into my eyes I could see the flames of desire, I could tell that one kiss from him and I wouldn’t stop him, I wouldn’t stop myself from finding out what sex was all about.

Chapter 8

I was ringing her doorbell at nine-thirty in the morning. I had my sunglasses on and my swimming trunks. It was already too hot for a shirt so I didn’t bother putting one on. I was surprised to see that it wasn’t Linda who had met me at the door but Glenda.

“She’s not quite ready yet.” Glenda ushered me inside and closed the door behind me. I could see why she was rushing to get in the house. It was nice and cool and I was sure that every air conditioner they had was on.

“I don’t know if this is even going to fit me!” Linda shouted from upstairs and I hid a laugh by covering my mouth and pretending I was coughing.

“I will be right back.” Glenda smiled at me, but I could see that she wanted to laugh too.

&

nbsp; There was only a moment of silence upstairs before I heard her shouting again.

“What do you mean he’s already here? He’s a half hour early and my hairs not even brushed yet!” Linda shouted again, this time her voice was louder than before.

“Don’t worry, take your time!” I called up the stairs laughing this time, I couldn’t help it, her voice was still sweet even when she yelled.

I heard murmuring coming from upstairs, I couldn’t understand what they were saying but I was sure that Glenda was trying to calm her down. It would make sense, after all, it seemed as if Glenda and Linda had a good friendship.

I sat down in the dining room and watched the television that was mounted on the wall. Whoever turned on the television that morning had put it on the sports channel. That was one thing that I hadn’t asked Linda about if she liked anything to do with sports.

I sat downstairs by myself for about twenty minutes and when I heard Glenda and Linda coming down the stairs I got to my feet and met her in the hall by the door.

“You look amazing,” I told her, seeing her in her pink bikini and a towel hanging over her arm, her blonde hair put up in a messy bun and her blue eyes looking wild I couldn’t have asked for more than to see her walking down the stairs the way she was.

“Thanks, sorry about what you heard.” She laughed, blushing slightly. The color in her face made her look sexier than I could ever imagine any woman to be.

“It’s alright, I should’ve come over at ten like I said I would,” I told her, blaming it on me. It was my fault. I had been earlier than what I told her but I couldn’t hold off another minute on seeing her. I had been up half the night just thinking about today and spending the day with her, she was like a drug and I was addicted.

“You two have fun and don’t worry about the time. I will have something made up for you for dinner.” Glenda told us, opening the door for us and shooing us out.

I laughed and took Linda’s hand without even thinking about it, she didn’t pull away from me as I brought her to the black convertible I had sitting out in her driveway.

“It’s nice to see that you don’t have someone driving you around all the time,” Linda stated, letting me walk her to the passenger side and opening the door for her.

She slid inside and I shut the door behind her, quickly walking over to the driver’s side door I got inside and started it up. Revving the engine I back down the driveway and into the street.

“Do you like sports?” I asked her, starting a new conversation.
