"Do you remember how we met, dear?"

It all began on the first day of high school, the day our friendship began. It was the third class of the day and I had so far failed at meeting anybody new. The teacher had already introduced himself and gone to sit down, leaving us to our own devices for the rest of the class time. I was too disheartened to try and make any new friends, so I pulled it a book and drowned out everyone else. I was in the middle of a riveting chapter when your voice pulled me out of my immersion. "Whatcha reading?", I looked to my right and saw you staring at the book in my hands. That was the first time I ever laid eyes on you. "Um, it 's Cirque du Freak," "What 's it about?" "It 's about vampires..."

I kept daydreaming about you and for that I bumped into several trashcans and mailboxes. The tux I had rented for prom was already laid out on my bed when I got home, and I somehow managed to stumble into it without hurting myself too badly.

Eight o 'clock finally rolled around and with much anxiety and anticipation I headed to the school. I arrived at the gym and as I watched all the couples stream in I searched the crowd for you. When I finally laid eyes on you everyone else seemed to fade away. You were more beautiful than I had ever seen you. There was a radiance of pure beauty around you. Your white dress seemed to glow like a thousand suns, it subtlety screamed- 'Look at me, you 're gonna want to see this. '

As my jaw dropped and I stared in awe you spotted me and walked over. "Andrew! You look great!" I wish I could say I replied with a quick witted and romantic compliment, but alas, I was still so young and stupid. "T-thanks, you too." Half of me was screaming at myself to pull it together, but the other half just wanted to keep basking in all your gorgeousness. "Ready to go in?" And with that the rational part of my mind kicked back into

All I remember from that night is staring into your eyes and holding you as we swayed to the music. I wanted so badly you tell you how I felt, but I didn 't have to. You knew me so well, you knew how I felt and you felt the same. It all quickly became very clear. When you had asked me who I was taking to the prom you were actually hoping I hadn 't found anybody. When you had suggested taking each other as a last resort, I had actually been your first choice. When you had no choice but to go with me you were just as ecstatic as I was.

Like every other one before, that night had to come to the end. But unlike the others, that night looked towards the future, a future for you and me, together at last. I remember standing outside your house with you, not wanting the night to end. "I had a great time," You were looking into my eyes as you said those words. "Me too," "I guess this is goodbye," "I hate goodbyes, they 're never very good," "No, I guess they aren 't, are they?" "How about instead of a goodbye, I leave you with this," I looked back into your eyes and leaned forward, that was the first time I ever kissed you. I took one final glance at you with all your beauty and walked away, knowing I would be seeing you

    I lift my hips in encouragement and feel his every stroke land in the deepest part of my belly. He shifts forward, because he knows my body also, and swirls his hips, eliciting a long, low moan from me. He releases my hands to capture my breasts, pausing the ramming of his hips against mine to suck on them hard, pinching the skin and biting the tender swells. When he showers my shoulders and neck with kisses and love bites, I grasp and pull him into me. "Ugh, Jim, make me…"…
