Romance / Summer Love
Summer Love
Every passing summer tells a heart throbbing story. Every time a new summer fling happens and ends it adds on to the chapters. The center of every summer is love. As if it could never happen and it does. Life couldn’t possibly get any better.
The moment Joel walked into my life I couldn’t have been much more happier with the world. This was the summer of ‘08. I had met him in my sophmore year. He had been my friend for years. We became closely knit that year. Closer than ever. He was my partner in Chemistry.
A few days prior to our regents he had asked if we could get together to study. I invited him over.
For so long I liked him but lost all hope after a few years.
Until now.
That night we had something I felt it. We flirted the whole time, barely studied. Just as we were about to kiss my mother had come home and ruined the moment.
He had to leave.
This sucked for us for we really needed to study but I knew from the connection we had, there would be more times together. This is besides the point in my eyes. I had to have him. I couldn’t let another one slide this time. So then we dated for a year and then he had to move so we broke up. We still had feelings for one other but we knew it couldn’t be until we were out on our own.
This sounds crazy but we didn’t talk for a few years after the break up and when we did the chemistry happened shortly after once again. I had been living alone at the time and I went grocery shopping. Joel and I had bumped into one other. I guess since he was old enough to support himself he had moved back. He explained to me his life long story about his journey here and why. This conversation led to him and I talking every night on the phone. Late at night indeed. When things seemed to get a little more intense I decided to invite him over…
Ok, ok this story gets very intimate and sexual. So I’ll start the night he had showed up unexpectedly…
It was a friday night. Late in the evening. I had been alone for quite sometime that summer. Barely went out, barely had a life. Until I met up with my crush from highschool at a store. We had agreed to hang out sometime. He knew where I had lived. But I never thought I’d see him after that.
Anyways, that night had been calm but humid. The wind was hollowing and the skies were gray. The evening didn’t look so friendly. The news had explained the storms approaching from the coast but I didn’t worry. Storms facsinated me indeed. I had just finished unloading the dishwasher and I had been dying to take a shower. I stared out the window looking for an answer to why I was so alone.
Of course I didn’t have one. That was nomal to me. I had lived this way for quite sometime and I wasn’t so certain I wanted a change. I liked how things were but then again a little company occasionaly didn’t hurt. The trees swayed in the breeze. The skies were dark and a storm was brewing in the distance.
I tried not letting this loneliness get the best of me.
So I decided to get in the shower before the storm happened. So I gathered my towel and headed towards the bathroom nearest to my bedroom. I didn’t even know why I lived in such a large home if I was alone. I was paranoid occasionaly but my paranoria became me.
I walked up the stairs near the kitchen and after a few moments I was in the bathroom and I closed the door. I always locked it just incase….and for no reason at all. I started the shower and waited until the water adjusted to my temperature.
I stepped in. I had my radio playing for comfort. I rinsed and lathered and rinsed and lathered. After about ten minutes I was out and drying my hair. Just as I was about to remove the towel and get dressed the doorbell rang. I wasn’t expecting anyone important and no one stopped by unless it was family and friends so it was normal for me to answer the door in a towel. I have before.
I tucked the towel around my chest and under my armpits. I scrambled down the stairs. I was surprised at all to having company infact it was what I wanted. I hit the stairs and then I was in front of the door. Before I opened the door I looked out the window. Right then and there my heart did a backflip.
It was Joel.
My heart leaped into my throat. I didn’t want to answer the door like this, what if he was with someone. Even though I saw only him I didn’t want any last minute surprises. “Just a minute.” I called. He waited.
I scurried back up the stairs and put on my black lacy shirt and a pair of sweats. I combed the knots out of my hair making it look half-way decent. My bangs flopped over my right eye. I made up my face and it took only a few minutes.
I ran back down the stairs trying not to make him wait much longer. The storm had begun and I’m sure he grew impatient. Calming my self down for a second I slowly opened the door. I flashed my best smile. He smiled back.
”Hey.” He said. He spoke softly adn casually. Oh how I wish I was like that. He looked amazing. More than ever. My heart pounded so hard I thought he would hear it.
”Hey.” I smiled again.
“Come on in.” I warmly gestured. He stepped in. He followed behind me. “Wow what a night.” Making small talk. “Yeah it isn’t looking so good.” He agreed.
”Well I was in town and I thought I’d come to see you.” He replied. “Oh. I see. Very nice of you Joel. Ya know, its been pretty lonely around here.” I said jokingly. He exammined me.
”You haven’t changed a bit Michelle.”
I smiled. “You haven’t either. You look amazing.” I couldn’t help but to grin. “Why, I’m flattered.”
”Well take off your coat and stay a while.” I said. He removed his black leather jacket. I hung it up. “So do have time to stay for a while or what?” I asked. I sat down on the couch. He took the seat across from me. “Yeah I do, that’s why I came.” He bellowed. “Would you like a cup of coffee or something?” I questioned standing up. “Please.” He spoke.
I stumbled my way into the kitchen. My nerves had been all over the place. “So, you living with anyone?” He asked. I felt a little more relieved because I had been so caught up in the fact that he had come and how amazing he truely looks. His ocean blue eyes. His amazing smile that can be felt for hours. His outrageous body. So broad and strong. His feathery ash blonde hair. He was amazing all around.
”No, actually I live alone.” I said. I mixed the creamer into his cup then mine. “Wow, that must get pretty lonely.” He sighed. “Yeah it does but I love it out here.” I grabbed both cups and headed into the living room. “I like what you did with the place, very well kept.” He grinned.
”How about you, do you live alone?” I asked placing a cup in front of him. I sat back down. “Well I live with a friend. You might remember him, Mike.” He said. “Oh yeah Mike, nice guy.” I lied. I personally never liked the guy. He wanted Joel to himself and I hated it. But he didn’t know I liked him so it wasn’t really his fault. “Well I’ve had a few girlfriends in and out of the place but they never lasted longer than a week.” He laughed. “But right now. I’m flying solo. What about you?” He asked.
”Well I never really dated anyone since you.” Embarassed at what I just said I had took a swig from my cup. His eyes stared hard at me. I refused to look up. “Why not?” He asked curiously. My mouth felt dry. I knew the answer but I felt too scared to say it. “Well, because…” I began. He wanted to know. I felt hot and dizzy. “because everytime I’m with a guy, my mind wanders back to…you.” Saying that was rather difficult. I had wanted his company but I didn’t knwo what to say to him. “Wow. I didn’t know you felt that way. I mean were friends now. Doesn’t mean that we can’t pick up where we left off.” His face brightened.
My heart felt warm.
I spoke again. “I never realized how much one man could make me feel this way. I mean for that time we dated, we were young and we were too shy to talk. That time was a tease in my eyes. We quit…” I began. He understood. “Something we never really tried.” He finished my sentence. He felt what I felt. “Did you ever think about me after the break up?” I felt so comfortable. The flame in my heart burned endlessly. “Well…actually…yes. That’s why I came back Michelle. I want to restart this. I mean I had the option to stay that day and I didn’t think what we had was worth keeping. But now, well I want to pick up where we left off.” He spoke ever so softly.
He inched closer to me. I moved closer to him. “I want to too.” I said. Joel smiled. I could tell he was satisfied. I didn’t know if that’s why he had returned. To have me back. It happened so fast. His words came out so fast and we got together so fast. But who said it was wrong to go fast? As long as it wasn’t too fast to see where we were headed.
And it wasn’t.
I was almost certain that we would have done something that night, but we didn’t which was okay. I had no problem waiting. I had waited for him for years a few weeks wouldn’t hurt. I felt so complete. For once. Joel’s heavenly eyes were fixed on me. He looked at his watch.
”As much as I hate to go I have to. I have a meeting with my boss. I decided to come now because, well…” He scratched his head. “I wanted to make you mine before I went on my business trip. I won’t be long and I promise it won’t be like last time. I have to go to Sacramento for two weeks. But I’ll call you every night until I get home and I promise the minute I get home I’ll come over.” He spoke so fast. I was okay with this. Rather flattered.
”When you leaving?” I asked. He stood up. “Well the meeting is tonight but I’m leaving Sunday. But I’ll come over tomorrow OK?” He questioned. “That will be fine.” I smiled. He gave me a fast hug and a kiss good bye. I walked him to the door.
I was surprised at what just happened. It happened so fast and he left so fast. I was willing to wait until he got back. Even though it wasn’t til Sunday, two days didn’t hurt and two weeks wouldn’t either. I went to sleep early that night. Thinking of Joel and replaying the whole conversation in my head. This comfortably numbed me to sleep.
I awoke that morning to the phone ringing. After the fourth ring I answered it. “Hey it’s Joel.” He spoke. “Sorry if I woke you up.” I felt relieved to hear his voice that morning. “It’s ok.” I said. There was a pause but just the sound of him breathing was good enough to me. “So, I was wondering if in an hour or so I could stop by and well hang with you. Take you out to lunch or something.” He replied.
”That’d be nice.” I said. “Well I’ll see you in a few.”
I repeated my routine with the shower only I had time to make up my face properly, do my hair and get dressed before he showed up….[TO BE CONTINUED]
