"It will. Because when you are truly ready, you'll know it. For now, we need to stop kissing every time we are together." He said turning away from her.
"You don't like my kisses?" She pouted. "I don't do it right."
He looked to the heavens and shook his head. "Of course I like them. I like them very much, but…a little too much."
She had acted shamelessly. She colored brightly.
"I'm sorry…I've become a hussy."
"God…Don't be sorry. I enjoyed every one of them…" He explained pulling at his shirt collar. "But you see a man reacts differently than a woman. A man is more like an animal, a woman is more genteel. But when a man loves a woman, making love can be quite pleasurable."
She nodded. "It sounds wonderful, the way you put it."
"When both of us, feel the same, then it will be."
"I could never tell by the animals, if they enjoyed it or not. I've seen animals. But you can't read their expressions on their faces. So it's hard to tell if they enjoyed it or not. But someday…. I think I'd like to try it…with you."
He cleared his throat and stared at her.
"You are very trusting," his voice went soft.
"I wouldn't be, but you've already asked for my hand in marriage. You talked to my father about it. It's arranged, so I trust you. Mama says trust is one of the most important things in a marriage. Am I doing that wrong too?"
"No, you are absolutely right. And she's right, too. Trust is what we build upon in a marriage. Sharing, and caring, but most of all trusting. Now, we need to talk more." He encouraged. "And to answer your question, no…you aren't doing anything wrong. God help me, you are doing everything so right."
"What do we need to talk about?" She asked innocently.
"Well…for instance, what is your favorite color?"
She looked up at the sky and smiled. "Blue…I like blue. Like the beautiful sky, it's endless."
"And do you like music?"
"Very much. I usually tap my toes to it all the time. I've got a habit of singing when I'm happy."
He stared down into her eyes and his expression was serious, "I'll look forward to hearing it, often, then."
She stared back, she was so drawn to him.
"Do you dance?"
"Sort of. Nothing grand… I've been to some country dances, but just those, nothing fancy."
"What is your favorite food?"
"Food, huh, well, I like pork chops, steaks, and roast beef, stews, dumplings, cornbread…all the usual foods. What do you like?"
"A good steak, potatoes, cornbread, red beans, things of that nature." He smiled at her as they took a seat on the porch steps.
She chuckled, "How about red beans, cornbread, fried potatoes and some buttermilk?"
"Sounds delicious." He smiled into her shining eyes.
But it was her turn to ask questions. "What color do you like best?"
"I like reds and browns, I like the color of a sunset."
"Me too!"
