He pulled out a stool on my left and commented on the privacy of the corner. I said I felt like a hussy for knowing such things but the knowledge comes in handy! We stared some more, and grinned more. I imagined him visibly relaxing. The bartender asked what he’d like to drink and he ordered a dark beer. She asked if we wanted food – I deferred to him – he said he didn’t need anything so I went with that. 

I told stories and he told stories and it was so easy to talk with him! We laughed and I touched his arm. He gave me a side eye and touched my knee. I touched his knee. He waved a hand to emphasize a point, and brushed my breast “by accident.” Ha! This is such fun.

I asked when he needed to go – he checked his watch – an hour had gone by so fast! He sighed, said he should leave. Then kept on talking and ordered another beer! I asked if the beer helped his nerves – he said it made it a big easier but I was helping him feel at ease too. Phew.

He asked if I knew of places for a second meet. I said I do. He asked for details. I said, “a hotel” and watched to see if that made me a total hussy. He nodded and looked like that would be okay. I told him I could arrange it, charge it and he could pay me cash. He said that would be fantastic! I said, “If you decide you want to,” and he grinned and said he had already decided. I asked if he has a theory of when – he asked if weekdays during the day can happen. I assured him I can have a “doctor’s appointment” or take time off because I get lots. He asked if lunch time would work for a couple of hours. I said I could. I was amazed we were already into logistics for a second meet! Wow!

I told him we might be able to meet at my place in the future but I needed to see him at least once somewhere else to build up trust, that it was not him but that I had had a bad experience. He asked about that. I told him I was attacked. He looked shocked. I told him I wasn’t careful, that the law of averages caught up me, but I used it to learn lessons and be more careful. He nodded and touched my arm. He is so sweet!

He said he really had to leave. He signaled the bartender for the check. I offered to help pay but he waved me off. I told him doesn’t always have to pay. He said he’s old-fashioned that way but we can talk more about that. He said he’d have to check his schedule, but he’d email me tonight. Please let that be true!

He asked to be excused to use the bathroom. I asked if he wanted me to follow him and he declined, but quickly asked if he could have another hug up on the darker part of the stairs on the way out? I nodded. Probably for the best, though it worried me that he didn’t want to be alone with me.

He returned quickly and we went up the stairs. We got to the landing where no one could see us from above or below. He turned to me and smiled and we grabbed each other. I put my hand on his cheek and he put his arm around my waist to pull me in close and we kissed, tentatively at first but then fiercely! He moaned into my mouth… oh my. He grabbed my breast. I angled a bit so I could rub the sexy bulge between his legs. He is so sexy! I would have gone on and on but he wisely pulled back. The door above opened and a man started down the stairs.  We jumped apart and continued up the stairs and out to the sidewalk.

He pointed to the left, said he was off to the train. I told him I wanted to walk with him but it was a bad idea. He nodded and repeated his promise to write me soon to make a plan to be alone. I smiled.  He grinned. 

I sat down at a cafe table across the street and called Hubby to talk him into coming to get me and go out to dinner. He agreed after I named one of his favorite restaurants, so I sat and re-lived the meet and fantasized about the next one until he appeared. We certainly got through the toughest parts with aplomb. This may have been the best first meet ever!

Reassurance came quickly – bless him.
