Pulling My Chain.........Part 2

The weekend rolled
around too fast. The week was filled with deadlines, and work, work,
work. I had little time to think of the weekend past, and of the newest
interest in my life. I meet people all the time, but they never get
past my initial "looking over" or what I feel from the first
conversation. I think I have come to like being single. No, I'm not.
Who am I kidding? I don't like sleeping alone, or going places with
couples alone. I like being the other half of things happening, year in
and year out. The only time I love being single is when I see couples
not getting along, or breaking up over something silly.

My
regular partner called this morning, and said she wouldn't be able to
play tonight. She has a date. Ughhh. But, I know there will always be
stragglers hanging around waiting to get a game in. Who knows--
Kelly might be playing with me tonight. (Smiling to myself)


I
get there, and the house is full. The games have started. People are in
the living room, watching some dvd, with Samuel Jackson. I speak as I
make my way through the crowd. In the kitchen, I see roasting pans of
chicken, ribs, and steaks. People sitting around the table, eating,
drinking, and talking trash. Laughter all around me. I walk to the door
where they're playing, stick my head in, and speak. Everyone greets me.
I take a quick glance around the room, to see if I see her. I'm looking
for her, but I don't want it to look that obvious. I see her. Standing
in the corner, talking to someone I don't know. Hhmmmm. Maybe she
brought a partner. maybe she found someone more interesting. Oh well. I
walk back into the kitchen, and start a conversation with one of my
buddies. I try to put that vision of Kelly out of my mind. I open the
fridge, and grab a beer, pop the top, and take a good long sip.
AAAhhhhh. Yes, this is what I've been waiting all day for.

I had
taken the bottle down from my mouth, and I looked up, and Kelly was
looking me right in my face. I was stunned. For an uninterrupted
moment, we shared a glance.....a connective energy. I won't try to
explain it. I couldn't anyway.

"Hello, Stranger. How was your week?"

It was busy. And yours?

"Full
of thoughts of you. What did you slip in my drink last weekend?
Something about you, I couldn't shake. Do you mind enlightening me... "

LOL.
What do you mean? I wouldn't spike your drink. Not to get your
attention. If I wanted your attention, I would do something like
slipping you a note, with my number, or showing you special attention
in a crowd. I might wink, or hug you a lil tighter. Or, I would sit
over in a corner, staring at you all night. Nahhh. I wouldn't spike
your drink, dear.

"Well, it seems like we got a long wait to play. That is if you still wanna play with me."

I
laughed out loud. ' Of course I wanna play with you' She was flirting.
With me. I flirted back. So, am I wrong about that person she was
talking to...

" You think you could trust me enough to walk out
to the car with me; I have to find some real music for this place. And,
you can tell me what kind of music you like, what kind of person you're
looking for, and any old thing you want to share. What you say? You
trust me to keep my hands to myself?"

Nooooo. But, I can handle
myself. You know I know Kung Fu, and Judo, and Ninja. If you try
something, I will have to hurt you. So think. Think safety first. LOL.

She laughed. She has the prettiest teeth. Her brown eyes glow when she laughs. So warm.

"
I'm at your mercy. I won't try anything that could get me hurt. I don't
like pain. let's go." I followed closely behind her, as she and I
walked through the crowded rooms, past everyone. I noticed several eyes
following us to the door. Her aroma filled my nose. My level of
excitement was rising by the second.

She walked around to my
side of the car, unlocked the door, and I got in to sit down. I
unlocked her side. She got in, and turned on the ignition, and music
enveloped the car. MAZE. Happy Feelings. Now that's a plus. I just love
Maze. Something is telling me this person is going to be more than just
a Spades partner. I watched her, attentively. She was a beautiful brown
skin angel, to me. From the first moment I saw her...she moved me. I
know she knows I'm watching her. Can she feel me "feeling her"?

"I
think these are enough for how long I'm going to be here. What you
think? What are you thinking right now? You look like you're lost in
thought over there. Something I can help you with?"

Just thinking. I like your music. That's one of my favorite songs. Says alot about you.

"What does it say to you?"

That, ummm, you're compassionate, soulful, and you love good music.

"Is that right?"

Yeah.

The
air got silent, and thick...all at the same time. It's like emotions
clouded up the small space between us, enveloping us in it's magic. It
was exciting, and yet uneasy.....

She leaned over and kissed me.

That
sent firecrackers, shotguns, and bubbles off in my head. Something in
me popped. That kiss started at my lips, went all over my head, rang
out through my ears, vibrated down to my nipples, and took a nose dive
deep, deep into my feminine essence. Damn. Her lips were so soft, and
her cottony smooth tongue attacked every inhibition I had. Had I been
standing, I would have fell. Right on the floor.

Notwithstanding, I think I fell, anyway.........
