Love Stories


"Why don't you meet me at the store?  We can hang out for a little while."

I had asked Michael to call me that night to rescue me.  I was staying with a friend while I was figuring out my life, and while I appreciated her opening her home to me, I needed a break.  If he called me, I had an excuse to go into the other room.

I was not expecting him to ask me out that night.

"Sure!" I replied excitedly.  "I'll meet you there in 15 minutes."

We had met a month before during a terrible crossroad in my life.  My marriage had failed, and I was just a few short months away from moving to the other side of the country to go back to school.  It hadn't occurred to me how bad my marriage was until I met someone who treated me with respect, or whom I had a lot in common with.  Just being around him made me smile.

I met him at the store to look at camping gear for the next summer.  Several minutes later, we decided to go back to his house to watch a movie.

"How about a glass of wine in the parlor instead?  I don't use that room enough."  He disappeared into his wine cellar and came back with a bottle of Covey Run Chardonnay.  We turned on some music and made our way into the parlor with the antique sofa and classic dance paintings.  We toasted to my new beginning and before we knew what had happened, the bottle was empty.

Both tipsy, we got on the floor to cuddle up together.  He tickled me, and I tickled him back.  I struggled to get out of his reach, but he pulled me close and I found myself laying on top of him, nose to nose.  I had wanted this for so long.

"Are you sure you're ready, Katie?" he asked me breathlessly.

A month after deciding that I wanted to kiss him, I told him yes I was ready, and shared with him the sweetest kiss of my life.
