The Story So Far

05. The First Of Many

             I threw on a pastel colored dress with a heart cut out at the back. I put on thigh-high socks and slipped in black peep-toe pumps. I tied my hair up into a braid, threading in some daisies into it, accentuating the auburn color of my hair. I dabbed on some lip-gloss and a little bit of mascara. I checked myself once more in the mirror and slipped on an Aztec body bag on my shoulder.

            I walked downstairs and walked out to the living room to where Travis was sitting, watching NBA’s with my dad. They both looked up at me as I walked in, receiving a smile from both of them. Travis stood up and took my hands, nodding to my dad. I smiled at Travis and looked at my dad, “We’ll go out now.”

            Dad nodded, “Make sure to bring our girl home, Mr. Bayarrd.”

            He nodded, “Yes, sir.”

            Travis lead me to the front door and was immediately greeted by the cold breeze of October. We walked to his car, him opening the car door for me and he immediately went to his side of the car and slid in. 

            He rubbed his hands together, "Here, give me your hands."

         I offered my hands to him and he rubbed it in between both his hands, blowing in a warm breath. Before letting go, he kissed both the palms of my hands and gave me a crooked smile.

          "Thanks," I said, smiling back at him, "so where did you plan to go today?"

          "I didn't," he laughed.

           I looked at him, fazed, "You didn't?"

            He looked at me, "Uhu."

            When I raised my eyebrows he laughed again, "I just thought that maybe we can make this first date a little bit different from all the others."

         I smiled, "Go on."

        "I just thought that we could go drive downtown to all the little stores near the beach," he took my hand then rested it on the shift gear underneath his, "and then, when we spot stores we like, we can just park infront of it and go to the store."

         I looked at him with a smile, "That sounds good."

         "I know," he caressed my palms with his thumb, "I'm just not the sweet type, you know?"

         I stared at him as he looked at me shyly, "That's okay."

         A few minutes later, we were driving downtown slowly and looking out both our windows, our hands still entwined. And then suddenly farting sounds ellapsed, I whipped my head back to him and I could see his blush through the window.

          I bursted out laughing, "Was that you?"

          He looked back to the wind shield then looked down, "I'm sorry."

         He rolled down the windows which made me laugh even more. I looked at his still flushed cheeks and gave him a kiss. I leaned back in my seat and rolled my window back up.

          Travis looked at me with disbelief, "I love you so much it's insane."

          I leaned in to him and wrapped my arms around his arms, "I love you too."

          He leaned down and kissed my forehead. Spotting a small toy factory by the corner, I straightened up, "Can we go to that store?"

          He looked at the direction I was pointing to, then parked in front of the store. 

      The factory was small but piled up with mounds and mounds of stuffed animals. There was everything. From bears, to rabbits, to pigs, to dogs, to pandas. It was majestic. Everything smelled like lilacs. I took hold of the panda with a red ribbon tied around its neck and its pleading blue eyes asked me to take him home. 

           "Do you want that?" Travis asked.

            I pursed my lips, "Nope, it's fine."

           He smiled then took the stuffed panda from me, going straight to the counter, "Could you please put in a fake rose in this, yeah. Oh, and that wooden stand that says 'I love you'. Yes. Uhu," I heard him say. He paid for it then took the wrapped up paper bag.

           He kissed my forehead and lead me out of the store and back into the car, "Here," he said, handing me the paper bag.

              I gave him the best smile I could, leaned over, and showering him with kisses, "Thank you."

              I opened the paper bag and took out the panda, "I think..I'll name her...Pebbles!"

             Travis chuckled, "Pebbles, it is."

             After stopping into sixteen stores, I finally asked if he wanted to go down to the beach and stay at the beach house for a while. He obliged, a few minutes later, we were parking in front of the now deserted beach.

              "Do you wanna go sneak a swim?" I asked.

             "Can you take the cold?" he looked at me then back to the beach. The blue water still against the moon light.

              I nodded, "Yeah, why not?"

             I got out of the car and took off my heels and socks, walking on the sand barefoot, hand in hand with Travis. I stopped just as the water was beating the soles of our feet.

               "Skinny dip?" I asked sheepishly, giving him a shy smile.

              He smiled, despite the cold, he took off all his clothes and before he could reach his boxers I turned around, not wanting to see his member. When I finally heard him splash in the water, I looked back at him and he was smiling, wiggling his arms around the water, "Your turn."

              "Turn around!" I yelled, laughing.

               He did. I took off my dress in a pull, unclasping my bra and taking off my panties, letting them fall on the sand. I walked out catiously to the water, swimming slowly to where he was, the cold biting into my skin.

               I kissed his shoulder and he turned around, "It's beautiful here," he murmured.

              "I know," I kissed his lips lightly.

               He gatherd me into his arms, our naked bodies pressing together. I could feel his body react to the contact we made. The feel of his toned arms were around my waist, his chiseled chest rising and falling as he breathed, his stomach pressing again mine...and his...

              I snapped my mind out of its trance and encircled my arms around him, resting my head into the crook of his neck. His warmth flowed through my body, not feeling the bitter air around us. 

              "I could stay like this forever," he whispered into my ears.

              My body shivered in response, "Yeah."

             I lifted my head from his shoulder and pressed my lips to his. Feeling the electrifying feeling I felt the very first time those soft lips made contact with mine. The feeling overcame my entire body, making me shiver. He pulled me closer to him, making me quake. I loved everything about this man and that scared me to bits.
