Tinder Date {18+}

Party Ditching

"Kandy you always have me wearing sparkly clothes" I said laughing as I adjusted my swim suit.

"Sparkles are pretty...and please tell me you'll get into the pool with me" Kandy kept trying to convince me to go into the pool. She loved splashing around like a little kid but I told her the same thing as before..."for the last time..NO! I'm not getting my hair wet".

"Ugh you're no fun" Kandy stormed off away from me while I fixed the top to my bikini top.

It was something different. I didn't wear two piece swim suits I always felt comfortable I'm a one piece type of girl but I loved the way it looked on me. I hoped that Michael liked it...whenever he got here. Everyone was already outside in the backyard. I could hear Beyoncé playing and I immediately ran to go outside.

I opened the door to my room and bumped into a tall muscular body. The scent of vanilla circled around us and when I looked up I was met with two big brown eyes.

"You look stunning in this baby" Michael said grabbing my hips and pulling me closer to his body. "Thank you baby".

I loved feeling his skin against mine, the way he held me made me feel safe. Looking deep into his eyes made me feel stress free. It felt as if I had gotten lost in a world that only me and him were in. I only felt that with one other person...Stephen.

I suddenly remember Kandy talking about him getting out of jail in a few months. Her words replayed in my head like a broken record. The thought of Stephen brought back so many memories, I was so in love with that man. I could still feel his touch against my skin. The palms of his finger tips brushing against my back...peeling me out of my dress the last night we were together.

How that man kissed me so tenderly and romantically. His words "I will only make love to you, nothing more nothing less" before entering me with slow strokes following behind. His eyes deeply connected to mine as he smiled in between each groan of pleasure.

"Lauren are you ok...you've been staring at me for awhile". Michael's voice was enough to snap me back into reality. Was I really staring into his eyes while thinking about Stephen? I felt so embarrassed even though Michael had no idea.

"I'm fine...I have to go" I rushed away from him and ran down stairs. All I wanted to do was sit by the pool hanging my feet into the water while trying to gather my thoughts. I know Michael was confused and honestly so was I.

Did I just want to get into a relationship to try to forget about Stephen? Did I not fully let go yet? What's going to happen when he gets out of jail?

My mind was everywhere.

I looked out at the sunset shining on the pool. This was my favorite part of the house. The pool was beautiful and had an amazing view of the beach below.
