Oh you have got to be shitting me right now. I am not just staring into the eyes of the girl who looked like Lilla Thomas. I'm staring into the eyes of the Lilla Thomas.
I can't believe it. She is just as beautiful as I remember. Maybe even more so. Her long curly brown hair hangs like curtains around her small porcelain shoulders. She is wearing a pretty pink dress that hugs her in just the right way to show she has perfect sized tits. Time has only been her friend. Her age has only added to her beauty. She has truly grown into herself. This may be the best version of her yet. And those eyes. They haven't changed one bit. Big beautiful blue eyes that feel like they bore into your soul. And that is exactly how I'm feeling right now.
I realize I'm staring and decide to give her a smile and a small wave. She looks absolutely mortified and quickly turns her attention to the front as Amber explains the first game. Lilla looked like I just saw her naked or something, though that wouldn't be the worst thing. My dick twitches at even the thought.
What was that look for? Did she recognize me? I can't fucking believe she's working here. After all these years. After all my daydreaming and jerking off to just the idea of her, and there she is standing across the room from me. If she's here that means she's working here at least for the summer. My stomach flips at the thought. A whole summer of being near her and getting to know who she is now. It fucking excites me.
"Okay, for the first game, everyone will need to break off into pairs," Amber explains. "Try to pick someone you don't know or don't know very well. The point of this game is to get to know the other person."
Everyone starts to wander around the room but I find myself beelining for Lilla. It's like the opportunity to get to know her again draws me to her.
When I make it to her she is facing the other way and seems to be intently looking for someone. When she turns around she jumps like I scared her. Before I can apologize she exclaims,
"Oh my gosh! Wyatt Abernathy, is that you?"
She's smiling as she says it. I swear the sight of it actually makes my chest feel warm. What is happening to me? She continues,
"I haven't seen you in ages. Are you working here? How are you?"
She seems so genuine when she says it. More genuine than all the other girls that have said that to me over the years. It feels like she actually wants to know how I am and not just saying it out of a formality.
"Hey Lilla. Yeah, it's me," I respond with a shy smile as I readjust my hat, "I've been good. I'm in school just up the road at LCU. I'm working here as a golf assistant for the summer."
"That's awesome!" She says. "What year are you now?"
"I'll be starting my senior year in the fall."
Before I can say anymore, Amber announces,
"Okay, does everyone have a partner?"
I look to Lilla and say,
"Well I guess that means we're partners?"
"Sure!" She says and smiles.
My stomach flips again. I can't help but stare at her pink lips. I let my eyes linger just a beat too long. Lilla gets a weird side-eye look from the blonde standing next to her who I am pretty sure works at Marsh Grill. I gesture to two seats beside one another at one of the round tables. We sit and our knees barely brush as we turn to face one another. It sends a spark of electricity straight to my dick. I take a deep breath. I cannot get a boner the first time I talk to Lilla in years. I would never live it down.
