Ghosts of the Past

It had been many years since he had seen her. For a second he did not recognize her. But then Ricardo looked deep in to her eyes and it all came rushing back to him. ...... I saw her at the Alumni room at the old High School Home comming Rally. I have not seen her in close to eight years and then it was only about 20 minutes. I have not spoken at length for 16 years. My God had it been that long? Dark hair , dark eyes and a smile you can get in trouble with. We spoke very briefly but enough for me to take her email down. We emailed each other stories of what other friends are doing. Finally I just sent --"Let go grab a beer and talk". A few days later we meet on neutral turf. In on Madison Ave in Forest park. Many Many bars to get in trouble in and I have. We meet at a local Irish tap. I arrive a few minutes early and order my Blue moon. An old stand by. The elections are on the tube. I stare and watch the numbers go by. Suddenly a face close to mine, too close. I jump back and I hear her laugh . "Did I spook ya" She giggles at me. "A little , Didn't expect a face so close to mine. You almost got a punch to the head." I say as I smile. "You'd never hurt me. I still know that " She laughs as she sits down. She order her self a Blue Moon as well. At the very least her tastes in beer have improved inthe years apart. She sits and I don't know what to say. For once in my life I am dumb struck. "Oh my God its good to see you again." She says warmly and touches my hand. A chill rushes through my body. Suddenly there's an awkward silence between us. I find that I'm staring at her, looking into her eyes still seeing the youthful girl that I had a crush on in high school. Words elude me, and I'm finding that I've become that stumbling little boy again that had a hard time being alone with her in high school. She smiles, and I realize she has been doing the same thing. We both blush, and then our waitress breaks the silence by bringing her beer. "Mmmm..I love this stuff, tastes very good. Don't you think?" She says after a long deep drink. Our conversation begins to pick up at this point. We talk about what we've been up to since High School. Our lives, families, friends and lovers. It's then the topic of "why didn't we ever hook up in high school" comes about. She looks me in the eyes, hoping for a response. I take a sip of beer and jokingly say, "yeah, right, like you ever really liked me that way." She smiles, and says, "well, actually, I liked you a lot, more than you could ever imagine." I'm suddenly stunned. "What?" I say. It's then that she brings up a moment in our past, one that I have held onto for a very long time. It was one of those make or break situations. If I had just gone ahead w/ my heart and not my head, something would have happened that day, and she suddenly was talking about it as if she knew it was one of those "choice" days. "You remember Nancy O's party?" How could I not, it was when I almost kissed her, but all I did was shake my head yes. She continues w/ the story.

"You held me on the sofa in the basement of Nancy's. We must have talked for hours and you listened to every word I said. What I wanted to do in college, where I wanted to study." Her brown eyes locked in to mine. " I wanted you to kiss me and I think you wanted to when Mike Fantuzzi ran in to the room drunk off his ass. " Her lips full and colored with a wonderful shade of red. I take a long drink of my liquid courage and think my next move. Heart instead of head. I lean in and kiss my lost friend. Her lips respond instantly, the warmth and taste driving me insane. My hands softly caress her face as we kiss. Deep long wet passionate. Tounges touch. Flesh entwines. My heart skips a beat. "Oh My!" she says as she steps back. Blushing as a girl of sixteen might have. "Where did that come from?" She says while holding her beer. "It came from my heart. I've held that kiss inside for close to sixteen years. I always wanted to give it to you." I almost feel drained by that kiss. I look down to the ground , afraid to look her in the eyes. "I'm sorry If I ... " Her hand holds my face as she kisses me again. Her soft skin across my cheek. Her red lips on mine. Time itself stands still as we kiss. Every sensation remembered in its fullest detail. I move from her lips to her cheeks and to the softest part of her neck. Where I plant a trail of kisses. I hear the smallest of gasps excape her lips. The world roars back to life as I stand back and smile a devils smile at her. She stands her ground and smiles back, quickly she finishes her beer and orders another round. "My my Ricardo you have grown up now haven't you." She says with a fresh Blue moon in her hand. I finish my own beer and order a second. "I've waited for that kiss from you Ricardo for a long time, it was better than had dreamed it would be." She says in between sips of her beer.

Her smile cuts right through me. "Now what , My dear? Where do we go from here? " I ask very softly. Inside in crossing my fingers, hoping that a High School fantasy will come true. I can already feel my cock start to stir in my pants. She takes a long drink from her freshly poured beer and collects her thoughts. "Well Ricardo; Since you asked me out lets say we have a few more beers here, play a few rounds of darts then we go to my place in the City and you take advantage of me. Or we can finish this beer have a few rounds at my house while we fuck like rabbits. The go for breakfast. Its your call. "

My heart skips a beat. (play it cool , play it cool Ricardo What are you going to say? Think! Think!) " We'll its always a ladies choice in my book" I say while drinking my beer. "Either way I'd love to make you pancakes in the morning."

We finsh this round and play a few rounds of darts. Stealing quick kisses between each round, drinking a pitcher or two as the games continue. A few coins in the Juke box and a quick shot then the announcement -- LAST CALL EVERYBODY. Oh my god did we just close up the joint? Well we don't have to go home , but we cant stay here. I open the door to my car as a gentleman should for a lady. She smiles and plants the smallest of kisses on my cheek. Quickly I get in and start or drive. The drive goes quickly as we zoom up Lake Shore Drive twords Evenston. She smiles and laughs as wel drive and continue to trade small stories of our time apart. Her hand slides from my knee and on to my cock as we drive. A gentle squeeze and I feel myself start to thicken. My member quickly responds and so does she. She squeezes again and rubs my cock , cupping it in her hands. Her dark eyes watching my face as I have to watch the road.
