The Star
Since the day in the coffee shop, Dr. Torrez and I have been talking everyday and spending more time together. It's only been a few days but it feels more like old friends reconnecting. The last time we talked we spent at least 4 hours on the phone. He is so easy to talk to and being around him is very calming to my spirit. He says he feels at home when he is with me. I really have to control myself when I am around him. The intense physical attraction I have for him is like nothing I have ever felt before to the point I'm almost ashamed. But it's more than sex or lust I want... I want to be near him, close to him, connected to him. I can't talk about this to Meeks would she even understand? I can't even stand to look at him. Sometimes I feel like he thinks I am so weird...I'm afraid that if he looks me in my eyes he will see how I really feel and what do I do if he doesn't feel the same way? Stephen truly broke my heart. I didn't think I had anything left to give. Now I finally understand what love at first sight feels like.
But this all seems to be happening so fast! "Ummm hello? Earth to Zoe!" I must have done one of my famous "Zoe zone outs" again.
Sorry Meeks!
Girl how am I supposed to do your makeup and you just blanked out here with your mouth open?
We both laugh hysterically. Meeks gets herself together and says please don't do that on your date tonight. We laugh again. I gotta get myself together or I'm gonna be late.
Finally done with laughing, make up, lashes and getting dressed. I'm ready for my evening.
"Zoe! Bitch you look good!" "Aww Meeks, thanks." I finally found a black dress that I liked and Meeks had a pair of killer heels she let me borrow. I decided to get a haircut and color. Why not? And I'm glad I did. I feel sexy and rejuvenated. I give myself a pep talk in the bathroom and I ask Villain how I look. He gives me two yelps and licks my knee. I'm assuming he approves.
Soon I get a text from Dr. Torrez that he will be pulling up in about 5 minutes. My heart flutters. I give Meeks the biggest hug and say bye to the Villain. I walk out just as he pulls up in the driveway. As he pulls into my driveway, my phone rings. It's Ms. Bea! I quickly told her we are going on a date and she asked me what card I pulled. I told her I got a card with a naked woman kneeling by the water with stars all around her. Ms. Bea chuckled and said well that's the star card honey. She hoped I gotplenty of rest because I was gonna need it. Confused, I hung up the phone. If I had only known..
Dr. Torrez pulls up in the driveway and rolls the window down. "You look amazing!"
He parks and steps out of the car. He comes around to open my door. The sad thing is I'm taken aback because I'm just not used to this. Is that not the most pitiful thing ever? I don't know how to respond to someone treating me right. I was about to open my door. Quickly he reaches around me and opens the door handle please don't he says my Grandmother would kill me! I let him open the door and I sat down. I feel like tonight is going to be special. I truly had no idea...
We go to a restaurant in the falls area. The way it is built you can see the river fall through their back floor to ceiling windows. I always wanted to go to this restaurant. How did he even know? Once inside and our waiter takes us to a table by the back so we can see the falls in the moonlight. It was so beautiful. I wondered what else he had in store?
Dinner was amazing. We laughed and talked about everything and nothing. We decided to get ice-cream at the parlor around the corner from the restaurant. It was such a beautiful warm night we decided to sit on the bench out front and finish our ice cream.
"Zoe I had so much fun tonight." "Me too, Good Doctor!" I laughed. "Let's go down by the falls." Once we got down closer to the river it was cooler but I was still comfortable. My feet were starting to hurt so I kicked my shoes off.
"Are you ready to go then?" he said, grabbing my shoes after tossing his ice-cream in the garbage.
"I'm never ready to go when I'm with you." I say looking down I don't know why it made me so nervous to say that. Drew wraps his arms around me. I feel the same way. I never felt as safe and secure as I did in that moment.
"Zoe" he says. "Yes?" "Will you come home with me tonight?" "Of course" I say. "Will you spend the night with me?" Coyly I say "Now why would you want me to spend the night with you?" "Because I want to make love to you." He didn't have to ask me twice.
Once we got back to his house he helped me out of the car and up his walkway. He took out his keys and slowly opened the door. Once inside I could not believe my eyes. It seemed like every room had candles and rosepetals in it.
No one had ever done that for me before. Not even Stephen. It was always me coming up with ideas.
Candles and rose pedals lined the stairs as he led me up to his room.
When we got to his room it was more of the same. All I could do was put my face in my hands. "Zoe?" "Are you ok?" "Yes! Yes! I just...this is so beautiful." "I never had anyone do this for me before." "Do you think you don't deserve it?" "Zoe from the first moment I saw you I knew that I wanted you. That I needed you. I can't explain it. Like we are attached or connected in some way." "You're beautiful on the inside and out and I just want to show you that. You never really told me what happened in your last relationship but when you do talk about it it seems like it caused you a lot of pain. Let me take it away. But if this is too soon I understand."
He took my hands down from my face. He kissed my forehead, and then he kissed my lips. His mouth was so full and soft. I don't want him to stop. I pull away from him long enough to say I'm ok.
I wanted this from the moment I saw him too. He moves me closer to the bed. He undresses me and begins to undress himself. I am staring in amazement at his body, such a perfect silhouette in the moonlight. Laying me down on the bed he begins to kiss me and caress all of me up and down. He takes both of my arms and raises them above my head so I can't move them. With one hand gripping my arms he takes his other hand and slides himself inside me.
I can barely contain myself, as I begin to follow his rhythm. The throbbing between my legs intensified as he pushed deeper inside me. Every thrust sent waves of electricity through my body. My whole body began to ache as I felt the intense pressure of wanting to release. He can feel it too but he won't let me. "Not yet" he whispers in my ear. The rocking and pulling and pushing of our love making was too intense for me to bear. My whole body began to pulsate as he positioned me on top of him.
He stayed in sync with me matching me thrust for thrust until I reached my peak my legs began to quiver as I let myself go. Drenching the sheets...I never had an orgasm of this intensity before with my whole body while tears rolled down my face. He gently kissed my cheeks and wiped my tears. We made love like that for whatseemed like hours.
I don't even remember falling asleep but I woke up in Andrew's arms. Both of us completely spent and disheveled from last night. Slipping out from underneath him I found my way to his bathroom. I made love to this man with my whole entire being and now I feel as though I'm completely intoxicated by him. Like he's in my veins. It's not lust though. I feel connected to him. What if he doesn't feel the same way? I turn the shower on and get in. Standing there I put my face in my hands and let the water run over me. As I try to not think of how this could all could all go wrong. I hear the shower door open. Andrew gets in and puts his arms around me. Any anxiety I began to have faded. Sensing this he turns me around and kisses me on my forehead. Grabbing the soap he begins to lather me up from head to toe. When he gets between my legs he drops the soap and puts one finger inside me. My body begins to ache as he inserts another. "I can't take it anymore!" I say. "Yes you can,'' he says as he bites my lip gently he begins pushing deeper and faster until I feel like I might explode.Then he picks me up and slides me on top of him. I didn't think I had anything left but he didn't stop until we both climaxed. He holds me tight and moves under the shower head. "So strong", I say breathlessly. I put my head on his shoulder as we let the water run down over us.
