She took a deep breath trying to calm her racing pulse. Why did she agree to meet him here? It was crazy. She hadn't seen him in 20 plus years. They had dated in High School but ended as friends each going their separate ways. They hadn't talked in years and suddenly last month, they bumped into each other online. It started out as reminiscing about the old days. Then they started talking about what had happened since High School. The friendship was easily rekindled, like no time had passed. But maybe it had only been the safety of being online that allowed them to feel so comfortable sharing such intimate details of their lives.
She was too old to feel like a foolish teenager going on her first date. This wasn't even a date. She had mentioned planning a visit to her parent's house and he had casually said they should meet. She readily agreed and here she was. It wasn't a date. It wasn't...anything. Then why was she so nervous? Why were her palms sweating and her heart pounding in her chest? Why was she acting like a school girl?
“Hi.” His voice sounded just as she had remembered it.
She turned around and smiled. He looked a lot like he had years ago. A few more pounds but not too much. Shorter hair but it suited him. His clothing was toned down and more casual. The dark angst look was gone but the mischief was still glimmering in his beautiful eyes.
He took a step and looked into her eyes. He raised his hand and gently caressed her cheek. She closed her eyes and lost herself in his kiss.
