To Make It Last

Walking up to Xavier I couldn’t stop smiling. And he couldn’t either. He even met me half-way.
“Hey”
“Hey”
Xavier held out the single red rose to me.
“For you”
“Thank-you. But a little hint, I love pink roses better”
Xavier smilied.
“I’ll remember that”
I blushed.
“Okay”
He held out his arm to me.
“Would you care to join me for dinner?”
I linked my arm into his still blushing.
“I would love too”
“Great”
And with that he led me out the door of Starbucks and down the street a few blocks around the corner and down two more blocks. We stopped in front of none other than Outback Steakhouse. I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Really?”
“Yes…you don’t like Outback?”
“God no I love it. But…Outback Steakhouse…in Sydney, Australia. Really? I didn’t even know they had then here”
He laughed.
“Apparently they do. Not many natives know about it”
“Really now?”
“Yes so you okay to eat here?”
“Mhmm”
“Okay”
We walked into Outback to be instantly greeted by the hostess who seated us right away and produced a glass of water for me to place my rose in while we ate.
“Do you know her?”
Xavier shifted in his seat.
“Yeah”
“Oh”
“Yeah….that’s my sister. She has a manager position here and hooked me up with a table in the corner away from the door for privacy”
“That was really sweet”
“Yeah it was”
“She seems really nice”
“She’s great”
I couldn’t help but smile. It wasn’t long before we were laughing and eating our meal. We had loaded cheese fries for an appetizer. He had steak and I had ribs. I wasn’t one of those girls who ate only salads and were afraid to pig out. Oh no I could pig out with the best of them.
“Enjoying your ribs?”
“What was your first clue?”
Xavier laughed.
“Well for starters you have some sauce on your face”
I immediately blushed.
“Oh God I do?”
I went to wipe off my face when Xavier stopped me.
“I got it”
Before I could react Xavier had leaned across the table and was wiping the sauce off of the corner of my mouth with his thumb. He let his thumb linger there for a few seconds before he pulled back and wiped his thumb off on his napkin. I was completely stunned and didn’t know what to do and obviously Xavier noticed.
“I’m sorry”
“It’s okay it just shocked me”
Xavier reached out and covered my hand with his.
“I really am sorry”
I turned my hand over so that our hands were palm in palm.
“It’s okay. Honestly”
I saw Xavier relax.
“Good”
Suddenly his sister showed up.
“Doing okay here?”
Immediately we pulled our hands away.
“Yep”
“Mhmm”
His sister raised an eyebrow at us then walked away.
“Well she has perfect timing. And by perfect I mean horrible”
He laughed at me.
“Yeah she really does”
I smiled wide.
We continued to eat and before long I found myself uncrossing my legs, stretching them out and touching his leg with one of my booted feet.
His eyes widened for a few seconds before he stretched out his legs and soon out legs were tangled underneath the table has we finished out meal.
When we were finished eating Xavier paid and we left holding hands.
“Thanks for an amazing time Xavier”
“You’re welcome. May I walk you home?”
I smiled wide.
“Of course”
We walked back to my hotel talking and laughing the whole way. When we reached the hotel lobby we both stopped short.
“So….”
“So…”
“I guess we part ways now?”
“Actually…I was wondering if you would like to go to the bar with me for a drink”
Xavier smiled wide. I could tell he wanted to make our time together last longer too.
“I think I can manage one drink”
~~~ Many drinks later ~~~
A lot of drinks later we were both sitting at the bar very giddy and happy. We were both definitely flirting too and my leg was crossed with his while his hand lay on my knee. It was almost midnight when we were kicked out of the hotel bar so that it could close. By then we had both started to sober up a bit.
Even though I was sobering up, Xavier insisted on walking me up to my hotel room. When we reached my hotel room we both fell silent until Xavier spoke,
“May I kiss you goodnight?”
I was a little shocked so all I could manage was a nod of my head saying yes. Xavier placed his hands on either side of my face, leaned in, and kissed me gently. Of course I returned the kiss and placed my hands on his sides.
The only thing is…we didn’t stop kissing.
In fact within minutes we were making out against my hotel room door in the hallway. We didn’t even notice until someone passed by us and said, “Get a room”
Immediately we pulled away and looked into each other’s eyes. I felt like I was on fire and I didn’t want it to end. I had never felt so alive before. I could see the passion building in his eyes. And I had felt it in his kiss. And before I knew it I was speaking,
“I have a room”
Xavier just smiled.
“Okay”
Reaching into my purse I pulled out my room key and has soon has we were in and the door was shut and locked we were locked in an embrace making out profusely.
We made our way to the bed almost tripping over everything. When we ran into the bed Xavier picked me up and laid me down gently on top of it. His hand ran down my leg and unzipped my boot, while I started to unbutton his shirt. I knew at the back of my mind that this should stop…but I didn’t want it to.
I really didn’t want it to.
Xavier stopped kissing and pulled off my boots and socks. He then pulled off his boots and socks. Before I knew it he was back to kissing me passionately. I pushed his shirt back over his shoulders and he shrugged out of it. His hand immediately started to push my shirt up. But I countered by pulling his undershirt off. And with that he started to kiss my neck and run his hands down my sides. He started to push my shirt up again. I rolled over on top of him pinning him to the bed beneath me and pulled my shirt off and smiled at him.
Xavier sat up and kissed me right between my breasts. A shiver went up my spine has he grazed his lips back up to my neck and wrapped his arms around my back and unhooked my bra. He pulled it off and tossed it aside; lying back pulling me with him he continued to kiss my neck.
Within a few more minutes we were both jean less and under the sheets. It was then that Xavier stopped kissing me and looked into my eyes.
“You want..”
“Yeah”
“Okay”
And with that we were completely naked and moving together perfectly. It was like we had been together before but I knew we hadn’t.
It was all so new and familiar at the same time.
And it was wonderful.
Pretty wonderful.
