Lily
I Was Nervous
Should I call him first?
Or wait?
Where would our first date be?
If there was one.
When will we have our first kiss?
If we get that far…
When will we marry?
If he asks…
What will I do if he breaks my heart?
Will my wounds mend?
My Cell Phone Rang
and I answered it with urgency.
Is this Lily? It was Howard.
“Yes…this is she.” I could hear him
through the phone trying to make up his mind.
How about we grab a bite to eat later? I screamed
in my head with excitement. “Sure. When can you pick
me up?” Well, I was thinking we could just meet up
at Chartey at 7:30. Chartey was a locally owned restaurant
we had in Mayfield, Georgia. “Sure.” I agreed.
And just like that, I had set myself in a fast course
toward destiny.
When I Arrived At Chartey
he had already
grabbed us a two person
booth.
I sat myself down.
A small table and candle
separated us.
The meal was great,
but I wasn’t focused
on the meal
as much
as I was
on him.
Hey, want to get out of here? he asked,
I could hear the sex in his voice. I know a place
where we can be alone,
There was only one word
that came out of my mouth.
“Yes.”
He Was Right
We were alone. No one
will find us here. He whispered
in my ear.
It was an old house
off of Ole’ 15. It was abandoned
maybe 20 years ago.
All that lay left
in the house,
was a tired, old mattress.
Which, him and I layed
upon – kissing. It started off
gentle, like he was afraid.
But, he gradually grew
deeper in to the moment.
I sat on his lap. I could feel him
In his jeans. Did I want to take it
this far? Oh, yes! He turned me over
on the mattress. And started kissing me
on my neck, down, all the way
to my toes. I found myself taking off
my shirt. He unbuttoned his pants.
One date,
and this already? No,
I have to stop this, before
it gets any further. Before
my hormones make up my mind for me.
He was starting to unbutton my blue-jeans
when I shout, “I can’t do this.” He looked
at me, aghast. Why?
“It’s just, we had our first date today.
Do we really want
to go this far?”
Surprisingly, he was OK with it.
I just know,
next time,
I won’t stop him.
