I shook my head and laughed, “Who knows? Maybe this will be the only date.” I said.
Theresa snorted, “I highly doubt that but, I’m staying up until you get home so I can get full details.”
Once we were back at the dorm I rushed up the stairs and to our room, to my closet for the clothes I was going to wear, then into the bathroom. I couldn’t stop smiling the entire time, all that played over and over in my mind was his smile and that adorable wink. His toned abs, his thick forearms, broad shoulders, and his ass in those football pants. Ronnie was, by far, one of the sexiest guys I had ever laid eyes on, and I was going out on a date with him. I did a little happy dance then got out of the shower. I dried off, ran a comb through my hair then twisted the towel around my head while I applied Midnight Pomegranate lotion from head to toe. After I was dressed and had the mousse in my hair I finally came out of the bathroom. Theresa whistled and twirled her finger in a circle, “Hot hot HOT!” Then she jumped off of her bed and ran into the bathroom, “I have only had to pee for the last fifteen minutes!” Then she sighed in relief causing me to laugh.
“You could have come in there it’s never stopped you before.” I told her.
“Are you kidding me? I was doing what any best friend would do, I was social media stalking Ronnie.” She told me, then I heard the toilet flush and the sink water turn on then off.
“Did you find anything interesting?” I asked as I adjusted the strap on one of my sandals.
“Nope but I sent him a friend request from your account, check and see if he’s accepted it yet. I’m going to take a quick shower.”
I adjusted the strap of my other sandal then grabbed my laptop off of Theresa’s bed and logged back into my account. Sure enough, Ronnie had accepted the friend request. I scrolled through his profile, then his pictures. Not a single picture of his ex-girlfriend and him were on his page, only him with the football team, and some random pictures that he was tagged in from family and parties around campus. Then a message popped up from him;
“Hey beautiful what’s your ph# ? I’m patiently watching the time tick by on the clock.”
“Hey there here’s my # I’m ready to go if you want to come over?”
“Be there in fifteen!! BTW here’s my cell #.”
“Hey Theresa, he’s going to be here in fifteen minutes!” I yelled. I heard her mumble something, then about five minutes later the shower shut off and she came out with a thick pink towel wrapped around her body and a small yellow towel wrapped around her head.
“He can’t wait an hour? Is there anything interesting on his profile?” She asked and took the laptop from me to look. “God that’s weird,” she chewed on the side of her thumb nail, “Not a single picture of him and his ex or any other women for that matter. Unless you count this one that must be his momma and him at Christmas.”
I laughed, “Why wait for an hour if we are both ready anyways… I’m guessing that his ex must have deleted any pictures with him.” I said as I applied a light layer of lip gloss.
“Hmm-maybe,” Theresa shrugged a shoulder, “I’d better get dressed so he doesn’t run the other direction.”
Exactly fifteen minutes had passed when there was a knock on our door, Theresa and I both went to answer but she pushed me away then pulled the door open. “Hey there, come on in.” She said with her sweetest southern voice. Ronnie walked in and immediately his eyes were on me. We both stood there in silence as we took in each other’s appearance. He was dressed in a pair of dark wash blue jeans, a black Hurley V-neck t-shirt, and a pair of black chunky work boots. His black hair looked like he simply ran a dab of gel through it and let the messy look complete his stunning good look.
“You ready?” he finally asked me. When I looked at his face he winked and grinned at me then held out his hand.
“So ready.” I replied.
“You two behave, and don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.” Theresa said as we walked out the door.
Ronnie placed his hand against my lower back as we walked through the building, numerous women were standing in the hallway staring and glaring at us as we walked out. When we got to his pickup he opened the passenger side door and helped me into the jacked up forest green Ford 4x4 pickup. He hurried around to the driver’s side and got in and started the pickup then backed out of the stall. Silence filled the cab until he was pulling out of the parking lot onto the main road, then he chuckled, “I’ve never been this nervous on a first date.” He said and shook his head then looked over at me then back at the road.
“Not gonna lie, I’m pretty nervous too.” I tucked my hair behind my ear.
He blew out a breath, “Okay, so let’s start off with where we should eat. I was thinking about that new Italian place that opened a few months ago if that’s okay with you?”
“I love Italian so that will be wonderful,” a couple seconds passed by, “What made you ask me out?” I asked and almost immediately regretted it.
“Well, honestly?” He looked over his shoulder to switch lanes then back at the road, “I watched you all last year and was pretty much attracted to you since the first time I laid eyes on you.”
I could feel myself blushing, “Umm-but you had a girlfriend.”
Ronnie blew out a breath again and nodded his head once, “I did, but now I don’t. All I’m asking for is a chance for us to get to know each other. I’ve wanted to talk to you, but Shelby would have confronted you and it would have just started a big drama fest that I didn’t want you to get mixed up in.” He said and smiled at me.
“Oh, okay, that’s understandable.” I replied.
He pulled into the parking lot of the restaurant, luckily it wasn’t as packed as it had been the last few weeks. “We’ll talk more inside, hang tight.” He put the pickup in park, got out then hurried around the front and to the passenger’s door. He didn’t let go of my hand until we were seated in a back corner booth away from the loudest part of the restaurant. The waiter had given us each a menu then a few minutes later returned with two glasses of ice water. He apologized that there was still about a twenty minute wait time on meals, I smiled and told him that we weren’t in a big hurry. “Great! I’ll be back in a few to take your orders.” He smiled and relaxed then walked away. I knew immediately that I wanted a nice juicy slice of lasagna and some garlic bread. Then I decided I’d better just go for regular bread instead of garlic in case Ronnie decided to kiss me at some point. Ronnie put his menu down, “I know what I want.” He stretched his arm across the back of the booth and lightly ran his finger over my shoulder.
“Me too.” I smiled and placed my menu on top of his at the edge of the table. I took a drink of water and was trying to think of something to talk about when Ronnie started the conversation.
“So, I know you had a boyfriend last year. How long have you been broke up and what happened? If you don’t mind me asking?”
I rubbed my lips together and took a deep breath in, “Well…we broke up the day of graduation, although we are still friends who occasionally text and what not. He uhm, well,” I lightly shook my head, “He actually discovered that he was gay.”
Ronnie was just taking a drink of water and half spit it out, half choked on it, coughing into his napkin. He held up his hand to let me know he was okay. Then he cleared his throat, “Are you fucking serious? He, wow.” He cleared his throat again, “And you still talk to him?”
I nodded my head and took a drink of my own water, “Yes, we are actually better friends than we ever were as a couple. He’s happy so that’s all that matters to me. Okay now my turn, what happened with you and, Shelby?” I asked but before he could answer the waiter appeared to take our order.
After he left Ronnie started to talk, “Well to answer that question things were going really good then she went home for a weekend, when she came back she was acting really strange. I asked her if she had cheated on me and she swore she hadn’t but then one night while she was talking on my phone to my mom, she got
a text message on her phone. When I checked it there was a text from some Stuart guy wanting to know when she would be coming back so they could finish what they started. She tried to deny that there was anything going on but refused to let me call and ask him myself. So we both mutually agreed, after a very heated argument that she didn’t trust me and I couldn’t trust her. The bad thing is, I was going to propose to her. So there’s this beautiful engagement ring in my parents safe that I can’t return because of the personalized engraving. I decided that when and if I ever meet a woman and we get married and have kids, if we have a girl I’ll use the diamonds out of it to make earrings for her.”
“Oh…oh wow. I’m sorry that it didn’t work out. Did you date anybody after that?”
He shook his head, “Nope, I was waiting to talk to you.”
With that one sentence I relaxed even more. The conversation then turned to a less intense topic. He told me that he was majoring in architecture and had plans to start his own construction business after he graduated. I told him that I was planning on opening my own dance and fitness studio. We talked about his family. He has two younger half-sisters, and his mom and step dad both retired a couple of years ago. “I’m pretty sure my mom is turning into the cat lady.” He said with a shake of his head and a laugh.
I laughed, “I doubt that.”
“NO, I’m dead serious. Every time I go home there’s always at least two new kittens sprawled out on the deck. I think my last count was seven cats and of course she has named every one of them. What about your family?”
“I’m an only child, my mom had too many complications with me so they were too scared to try for another. She’s a homemaker. When I was in school she did the whole stay at home mom thing. She helps Dad at his motorcycle shop with the books and keeping inventory. Dad’s the president of the local motorcycle club, so he stays pretty busy.”
“That’s awesome! I bet you get a bunch of horny, bearded, guys hitting on you.” He joked.
“Oh no, I’m off limits and they know it. They aren’t all old, to those guys I’m either like a daughter or a sister to them.” I laughed. The waiter brought us our food, instantly the aroma made my mouth water. The silence while we ate was comfortable; every so often people would pass by us and recognize Ronnie. Each person wished him good luck with the upcoming season and said they would be there to show their support. I pushed my plate away, “I’m stuffed, I can’t possibly eat another bite.” I said and leaned back in against the padded booth.
Ronnie finished the last bite of his lasagna, “I’m right there with you, damn good dining isn’t it?” he smiled. “Well, we can stay here and be miserable or go to the beach and chill for a bit if that works for you?”
“Sounds excellent.” I told him.
The drive to the beach took about twenty minutes, the sun was just starting to set in the horizon as we walked along the beach. Ronnie suggested we sit down and enjoy the rest of the sunset so we moved away from the water, “Sorry, I didn’t even think to bring a blanket.” He said then sat down and patted his lap. I hesitated then sat down and rested my back against his chest and my head against his thick shoulder. He turned his head and lightly kissed my temple, “You smell so god damn good, Sydney and you’re beautiful. Thank you for agreeing to go out with me. I hope this is just one of many great times we spend together.” His voice was so deep and rough it sent shivers down my spine and made goose bumps prickle my skin. “Cold?” He asked with a small laugh.
“No, it’s you, the closeness, your voice. Thank you for tonight. I hope to have more times like this too.” I said then turned and looked at him. Our lips were a breath apart, I looked up into his eyes then back at his lips.
Ronnie licked his bottom lip then dragged it between his teeth, “I can tell you want to kiss me just as bad as I want to kiss you, Sydney.” He said. I nodded my head and closed my eyes when our lips touched. The kiss took my breath away, Ronnie brought one hand up and splayed it across my abdomen. I lightly ran my tongue across the seam of his lips, he inhaled and fisted his hand then relaxed it and moved his hand to my hip and gently squeezed. Once our tongues met it was me that moaned. I could feel his cock growing under me so I shifted lightly, and he broke away from the kiss, “Okay enough for tonight. A guy only has so much control.” He said with a smile.
I laughed, “Sorry…I just figured you wouldn’t be comfortable.”
“Oh I was fine until you moved that cute little ass against me.” He kissed me again, “Yep, we need to get you back to the dorm before I take you right here on the beach.”
I laughed then stood up, Ronnie stood and attempted to wipe the sand from his jeans, “I give up but it’s totally worth it.” He said and took my hand in his as we walked back to his pickup. On the drive back to my dorm he never let go of my hand and left them rest on my thigh. “Your skin is like silk.” He said as and ran his thumb back and forth on my thigh. Each swipe brought on more goose bumps. When we got back to the dorm he continued to hold my hand until we reached the dorm room. Luckily there were only a couple of women in the hall way. I leaned my back against the door, Ronnie stepped closer he put one arm on the door jam, his other hand rested on my hip. “So, do you want to go out with me again?”
“Definitely.” I smiled as I answered him.
“You just made my night.” He leaned down and kissed me again. I slid my hands up his chest and clasped my fingers behind his neck as the kiss grew more intense. He pulled me tighter against him, the thickness in his jeans pressed against my stomach. When we finally pulled away we were both breathing heavy, our lips swollen and damp. “Jesus I don’t know what it is about you, but I could kiss you all fucking night.” He said as he slid his thumb across my bottom lip. “I have to leave because if I don’t …”, he shook his head then kissed me quick again, “you can test a man’s control, I’m going to go take a really cold shower.” His lips curved up when I laughed.
“I’ll see you tomorrow.” I told him as he backed away.
Ronnie winked, “I’m pretty sure I’ll be seeing you in my sleep. Thanks for tonight. Let me know when it works for you that we can go out again. Night, Sydney.”
“Okay.” I said a little breathless, “’Night.” I gave him a small wave and watched him for a couple of seconds as he sauntered down the hall.
When I opened the door Theresa turned and looked at me from where she was sitting on the couch. Then she jumped up, “Details NOW! By the dreamy look in your eyes and the smile on your face he’s either a really good lay or you had a good time … OR all of the above.” She said with a big smile.
“Well I didn’t fuck him on the first date so I can’t answer that,” I kicked my sandals off, “But I can tell you he is an AMAZIIIING kisser.” I said and fell down on the couch.
“And?....” she rolled her hand, “Details, Syd, jeez!”
So I told her all about the date from the time we left our dorm to the time he left our dorm building.
“I know you have a three date rule for sex but sometimes you just have to throw caution to the wind. I wouldn’t have been able to control myself. You’re such a lucky bitch. AND, I can guarantee you he won’t be gay.”
I narrowed my eyes at her, “Thanks for throwing that last bit in there.”
“Sorry…so, are you guys going to go out again?” she asked and rested her hand against her palm where her elbow was resting on the couch.
“Yep, I don’t know when but we both want to.”
Theresa squealed and clapped her hands, “Back off ladies! Mister Ronnie Hottie is off the market to this flying beauty!”
I shook my head and laughed, “We aren’t an item yet, jeez. Slow down, will ya?”
Theresa rolled her eyes, “Puh-leeze, like you or him will even look at anybody else. It’s a sure deal you’ll be an ‘item’ soon.” I’m not sure who was smiling bigger—me or her.
I touched my fingers to my lips, “I think every time I see him I’m going to want to kiss him.”
Ronnie: Thank you again for the wonderful evening. I can’t wait to kiss you again.
Me: Thank YOU for the wonderful evening
Ronnie: The cold shower didn’t help, AT ALL.
Me: Sorry?
Ronnie: If I could get the sweet taste of your lips, the sexy little sigh you make, and the feel of your skin against my hand out of my head it would have lol.
Me: **blushing** It was a good time.
Ronnie: Can’t wait to do it again. TTYL sweet Sydney
Me: Me either ;) TTYL!
“Judging by the cute little smile and that blush spreading across your cheeks, I’m guessing that was him?” Theresa asked and smiled.
“Yep! God he’s so sexy and sweet and the way he can kiss!” I laid my head against the back of the couch.
“And he’s ALL yours, sexy lady.”
I smiled big at that comment, “We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.”
Over the following few weeks Ronnie and I went on dates in the evenings, we spent time watching movies at either his off campus house or at our dorm. One night our practices both ended early since the following night was game night so we went to his house for supper and a movie. We ordered pizza and watched the new ‘Footloose’ movie in his room, well, tried to watch it but we couldn’t stop stealing kisses from each other. Once the kisses grew more demanding Ronnie and I were both unable to stop ourselves. He was lying on top of me bracing his upper body weight on his forearms on each side of my head. “Fuck, we’ve gotta stop babe.” He breathed against my lips.
“No we don’t.” I said and pressed my hips against his.
“You don’t understand babe, my self-control is nonexistent right now. For weeks I’ve been imagining how good you would feel around my cock, wondering how many orgasms you can have in one night.” He pressed himself against me and slowly rocked his hips pressing his thickness against me. The only thing separating us was his sweat pants and my spandex cheer shorts.
