Todays are for Living

“Today’s are for Living”1

     Sunday morning was spent packing and getting ready for the trip, since he planned to leave early the next morning. Driving to Elna’s house at twelve, he caught her before she ate lunch and asked her to go to lunch with him. She accepted eagerly, glad to get away from home for awhile, and also glad to be with him. Going to the Café Royal, they sat in a booth and took their time eating, enjoying every minute of it. He knew that this would be their last time together for some time, but tried to put it out of his mind so he could enjoy it. 2

     After lunch he drove into the country as they continued to talk, discussing the future. Well, they didn’t really know what their future held, but they could dream and plan, that made them feel better. Finding a deserted country lane, one probably used in the past by hunters, he drove down it until he came to a creek. Stopping the car, they got out and strolled around the countryside for a time, enjoying the sights and sounds of nature, as well as each other’s presence. Going back to the creek, they kicked off their shoes and waded in the water, which only came halfway to their knees. Laughing and splashing water on one another, they were enjoying themselves immensely until Elna complained that her slacks were wet. Zak then noticed that his pants were wet also and found a sunny place on the grassy bank, thinking to sit down while they dried.3

     A sudden inspiration made him say, “Let’s take our pants off and drape them over a bush to dry”. Looking shocked, Elna asked if he thought that would be alright, saying that her panties were so thin she would be practically naked from the waist down. Hearing her say naked turned him on, but he controlled himself and assured her that it would be alright, as he started unbuckling his belt. Hesitating, unsure of what to do, Elna waited till he had his pants off and hung over a nearby bush. Turning back to her, he told her, playfully, if she didn’t take hers off, he would do it for her, and laughed. She laughed also, and shyly turned her back as she pushed them down and stepped out of them. Turning back to face him, she held the slacks in front of her till he took them from her and found a bush to spread them over. When he turned back, Elna was holding her hands, folded, in front of her pubic mound, and blushed as she saw his eyes directed there. Zak knew, without looking, that his penis was making a tent out of his boxer shorts, and wasn’t sure that it was not partly revealed; at least he could feel the cool wind on it. Making light of it, he didn’t look down to see; although he saw her eyes dart to it, then away, shyly, blushing still. Walking to her, he took her hands in his and pulled them away from her crotch, then deliberately moved his eyes from hers and looked long and hard at her, seeing that she had told the truth, her panties were very thin. After a long, exciting look, still holding her hands, he looked back at her face to see her still blushing and looking away shyly. Reassuring her that it was alright, and that she was beautiful to behold and had nothing to be shy about with him because he adored her and had longed to see her naked legs again ever since seeing them at the lake, he said, “Now it’s your turn, I will look away and you can look at me down there”. Turning his head, he pretended to look at something far away, but out of the corner of his eye he observed her, as she shyly turned her head back and looked down at his bulging shorts, and he saw her smile as he felt his penis bounce from the pleasure of her look. As she seemed to relax and become more comfortable, he pulled her down, to lie on the grassy bank of the stream. Lying still and talking for awhile, letting her get accustomed to the feel of being almost naked, Zak then raised up and propped on one elbow as he kissed her and told her how gorgeous she was. Thanking him for the compliment, she kissed him back and smiled, looking at ease with the situation. 4

     Zak raised up to sit cross-legged, even with her midsection, looking long and lovingly at Elna’s naked legs and almost naked crotch, as well as her belly since her blouse had rode up exposing her to the bottom of her bra. Drinking in the sights like a starving man, as he looked at each point of interest, he described to her how it looked to him and how it made him feel to see it. Observing her labored breathing and the way her breast heaved up and down, Zak knew that his eyes and his talk was exciting her very much, even as it was him also. Thus far, he had only touched her with his eyes, and then he looked into her eyes as he told her that he was worried about moving too fast for her, that his desire for her might be causing him to push too hard and go further than she was ready to go, and he asked for her help in allaying his fear. As she looked at him questioningly, unsure of what he wanted her to say, he offered (saying he would understand if she didn’t want to talk about it and could answer with a nod or a shake of the head) to rub her pussy to make her come if she wanted him to. Hesitating as she looked down at their bodies and back into his eyes, she blushed as she answered softly, “Yes, please”. Zak’s heart leaped with joy at her answer and, smiling reassuringly at her, he moved his hand to her inner thigh, as he had before, and began to caress the soft flesh there, smiling as she parted her legs and looked down at what he was doing to her. As she watched his hand approach her vulva, her hips rose slightly, as though to receive it. Turning his hand, so that he would be touching her with the palm, he felt her flinch and heard her gasp as the flat of his hand covered her vulva, only a thin wisp of fabric between them. Then he looked to see what his hand was doing to her as he gently rubbed her pussy, increasing pressure as she raised her hips to meet it, begging for his touch. Avidly watching, he saw the lips of her pussy part slightly to accommodate his middle finger, which was sinking into the valley there as he rubbed up and down its length. Shifting positions, he leaned on one elbow and pressed his lower body against her naked leg, so that his penis, erect and throbbing with passion, was rubbing against her naked leg, and as she heaved her hips up in climax, he also came, and they climaxed together, it seemed to go on and on, would it never end? Finally, drained and satisfied completely, he lay atop her, supporting his weight on his elbows, as he looked lovingly into her eyes, telling her how much he enjoyed that, and how much he adored her and could never get enough of her. Smiling sweetly at him, she said that she also enjoyed it very much, couldn’t find words to describe her pleasure or how good he made her feel, but that it must be the greatest feeling in the world and she thanked him for showing her how and being so patient with her and for loving her so much. Zak finally had to cover her mouth with his own to quiet her, and he kissed her again and again, and they rolled around on the grass as she seemed to lose more of her shyness. She laughed as he moved his head down and kissed her naked belly, saying it tickled, and Zak had a strong urge to move on down and kiss her pussy, but decided that might be too much, too quick. After all, he had enjoyed much more that day than he ever dreamed of, so he must be satisfied, and slow down again. He knew that if he gave in to his raging hormones, he would go too far, maybe ruin their whole relationship. He decided to keep those lusty desires to himself for the time being; maybe he would tell her of them at a later date, after they had become more intimate. 5

     Retrieving their pants, he told her that, although he hated to see the day come to an end, it was getting late and he must get her home so she wouldn’t get in trouble. Hating to see her cover those gorgeous legs, they nevertheless put their pants back on and headed back to town. Since it would be his last night in town, Zak asked her if she could have supper with him, if he didn’t keep her out too late. Saying she would have to clear it with her mom, she said she wouldn’t take no for an answer, so he drove her home. After going home and cleaning up, Zak went back to Elna’s house, finding her ready to go, so they drove to the Blackstone Hotel Restaurant for supper. Still in a happy mood when they went in, Elna whispered to him, “Wonder if they can tell what we been doing”, because everyone was turning to look at them. They both laughed as they sat down, attracting more attention, and Zak told her that he didn’t care if the whole world knew, and that he wished he could do it again right then. Ravenous, after a very busy day, when the food was served they settled down to eat. After supper, they drove around, talking, until Elna said she must go home. Reluctantly, Zak drove her home, kissed her for the last time, for awhile, how long he didn’t know. Telling her he would never say goodbye to her, he said so long till we can be together again, promised to write every day and walked her to the door where he waited until she went in and closed it. Then he drove home, missing her already, with no idea how much worse it would get before it got better. Well, enough remembering, old thoughts were good thoughts, but he must get back to reality and his new life in Memphis. Yesterdays are for remembering, today’s are for living, and tomorrows are for dreaming of.6
