Saw this and thought of you Zuz….
These might work.
Date #3
loopysammysammy picked me up in his bright red Mustang convertible. I remember thinking how odd it was that I was not at all nervous. He had a way about him that made me feel comfortable in his presence right away. The music was blasting classic rock (thank God) and he took the turns like he knew them well. The top was down so we did not speak much on the trip but we did have a good time singing along to the music. We both knew every song by heart.
We were enjoying the ride and feeling more and more comfortable with each other as if I’d known him a long time.. He took the long way to his beach house up on the cliffs over looking the Atlantic. The house was lovely but I focused on the beach below. He asked me to wait just a minute and he ran into the house.
It was a lovely evening. The sun was just beginning to set and the sea breeze felt amazing on my skin.
He had gone into the house and retrieved supplies he had gathered up and prepared earlier. As he approached I had a better view of him. He was tall and fit. The touch of grey in his beard and hair made him all the more attractive. I especially appreciated the lines of his eyes when he smiled at me. His smile reached his eyes. I could tell he was sizing me up as well and for the first time I had to fight off feeling uncomfortable under his gaze.
He took my hand and we walked to the cliff where there was a narrow path leading down to the beach. Not knowing we were headed for the beach I had not dressed appropriately and the high heels of my sandals had me grasping his hand tighter. I wondered how he managed the supply bundle and me at the same time but he seemed again to know the path well.
He spread out a blanket on the sand and we danced for a bit in the sand near the waters edge. We chatted and laughed for what seemed like hours as the sun set and day became night. We made our way to the blanket where he poured wine and we chatted a bit more.
Without a word he bent and removed my shoes. He sat with my foot in his lap and with a towel from his bag he dried it and removed the sand, then moved and did the same with my other foot. From within the bag he fetched a bottle of lotion and put some in his hands first to warm it before applying it to the top and bottom of my foot. Slowly he began to massage my foot. All in silence. I asked him where he had learned his technique. “Shhhhh….just lean back, relax and watch the stars.” He whispered.
The mixture of the wine, the sounds of the waves hitting the shore, the smell of peppermint from the lotion, and his amazing touch made for one of the best massages I have ever had. It is certainly one I will not soon forget.
When he was done he moved up next to me so I could lean against him as we looked at the stars a bit longer. We were startled out of our trance like state by the ringing of his cell phone.
Business called and I was disappointed that this fabulous evening was nearing its end.
The night had grown colder and the walk up the path a bit more challenging without the light of day but he never let go of my hand. He raised the roof on the car and took the shorter route back to my home.
I kissed his cheek goodbye and as he kissed the palm of my hand his eyes never left mine. He smiled and told me Vaughan was a lucky guy. I thanked him for a most wonderful evening and then I watched him get into his car and drive back towards the lights of the city.
Thank you sammy for a fabulous evening.
We did not just write our own vows. Together we wrote the entire ceremony. Every detail was discussed. We knew what we each wanted.
