Ahhh, the second part to this most glorious encounter.
So here I am, standing under a streetlight, in only a thong, holding a bucket of beers and my soaked clothes. Feeling complete in the most profound way. It was the sense of contentment that stands out the most to me. See, at this point, we’d sobered up, the bar was closed so it was well after 2 am, and this man, who by all accounts could have easily had me in the back seat with very little effort, yet…he didn’t take advantage of me or my predicament. Instead, he turned the seat heater on, and he took me for a ride in his truck, with the windows down, the radio up, and the most perfect feeling that this was where we belonged. With each other, to each other, forever. We didn’t see it completely at that moment, I don’t think, like, truly how big this was, but we both felt right.
I held his hand, pretty much the entire time, I stroked his arm, I never let go of contact with him.
He showed me the island, drive me all over, we listened to songs that somehow were written for us, we sang….let me Segway here….singing….he is the only person who has ever showed me pure love and attraction to my singing…this is crazy because I’ve grown up singing, and I’ve had people tell me I sounded good or whatever, but this man absolutely loves when I sing…and I love singing, so I want to always sing for him. I forget words all the time, so that’s a problem, but when a song stands out to me, and I learn it, he’s my biggest fan! And that, folks, makes me happy. So back to the story, we’re listening to music, talking, not talking, always touching, me mostly staring at him with my goofy grin, just completely in awe of him. We ended up parked at a dead end, near a marshy, muddy area, and we just talked, and touched, and kissed, and drank some crown…of which I got the last drink lol! And we just slowly and sweetly fell in love.
After awhile, your girl had to pee…this is funny cuz I didn’t wanna squat beside the truck, I wanted to get in the water, water that probably had creatures I’d be terrified of in the daylight…so without hesitation, Hob walked me out into the marsh, where I was able to pee with dignity! Lol! We climbed back into the truck and just drove around until about 5 am, at which time, we needed to get ready to go fish! We never slept! We were high on love, and sleep was not on the list of important things.
So we made our way to our hotel, where the other friend, sat up all night waiting for us! Now, I’m laughing as I write this, because like I said, I forgot about him entirely!
We stumbled into the room, looking completely wild and dirty and happy all at the same time! I was in cloud 9! Not gonna lie! I could only think of Hob, and I wanted to be as close to him as possible. You see, I’ve always been a strong, fairly independent woman, and when you find yourself in the presence of a masculine, confident, man…it allows you to let that wall of defense down, and it made me want to be gentle and feminine for him. Not in some needy, materialistic, supply my wants kind of way, but in a protective, yet powerfully feminine way, that made me want to support this man. Love him! Help him be better and stronger! That’s all I wanted to do! It’s like my calling was for this man, and I felt his was for me…yet we weren’t truly aware of this. We just knew something was happening.
So I jumped into the shower, making us late for our fishing trip, but a girl gotta do what a girl gotta do…so I hurried, and we met up with Sonny…our guide.
Now the fishing trip was what you’d expect, fishing! It was fun! I enjoyed it very much! It was a beautiful morning, and I was in the best company of my life. Minus the nameless friend, who vocalized how he’d been catfished, and I decided I wouldn’t even worry about him. He could sulk all he wanted. So he no longer existed. lol…poor fellow.
As we were fishing, Hob was showing me how to jerk the bait, and catch the trout! Then he’d go back by Sonny, and I’m not sure if he meant for me to hear him, but I’d hear him telling Sonny, it was neat that I was not only cute, but I could fish! Lol…did I mention I was on cloud 9? Yeah, it was a special morning for sure!
Hob would often come sit in the chair and let me sit on his lap…I loved that! He made me feel comfortable and beautiful, even on no sleep! Lol! Grand Isle will always be my favorite place and I’m excited for more adventures there….but don’t let me get ahead of the story!
I caught the biggest fish! I got blood and ick on my hands, we kept wiping it on each other, lol! Like two school kids flirting with the other, even Sonny had to interrupt us a few times, so we’d focus on fishing! We were just so in love and in awe of each other! I didn’t even know that was possible at my age….it was amazing. And I never could stay away from him long, I just had to be near him, at all times. He completes me.
We finished fishing, and went to Sonny’s for lunch. I had crawfish stew. Never had crawfish before, and it was good.
Hob made my plate for me, and then he acted like he was gonna sit away from me so the other friend could sit by me…I gave him the evil eye! Lol! And he sat by me, and we ate lunch together!
After we had lunch we headed back to the hotel, we were pretty sleepy at this point, and I was not about to share a bed with anyone but Hob…so I made my way to our bed, layed down, and fell asleep…knowing Hob would be along soon, and he would sleep next to me. And he did. And we slept touching the whole time. I would wake up randomly and just watch him, so peaceful, and handsome, his dark lashes would flutter from time to time, and I’d get a huge grin on my face when he’d open his eyes, furrow his brow a minute and then smile at me, look over my shoulder, and we’d giggle because we had planned to be in the same bed, knowing it was killing the other guy! Lol! Poor fool! Then we drifted to sleep again, even more snuggled up and even more content if possible!
The next time I awoke…I was being poked! And the thrill that ran through me, was like a herd of wild horses! Even better, was when I was guided to touch! My body was on fire! I had a burning desire for this man that reached to my core! Yet, he still remained a gentleman! We kissed, those tiny kisses that set me on fire still, and we just stared at each other. And giggled cuz our bed was squeaky, and we were being dicks and making it squeak, just to get under the skin of the other guy…such dicks we were! lol! Then we’d start laughing and we finally just jumped up and bolted out the door!
There was a little corner market with a deli, so we went over there and had some dinner. We didn’t talk much, but our eyes and hands said what we needed to say. We were both so content with each others company. All was perfect in our worlds at that moment.
We went back to the room and decided another night in the beach was in order. The other friend didn’t want to be a third wheel so he let us go alone. I admit, I didn’t try very hard to convince him to join us. I wanted to be with only Hob. And that’s what happened.
So we drove around, and parked at the levy entrance, and we walked along the beach as the light began to fade completely. Hob had some homemade apple pie moonshine, and we shared it along the beach that night, and finally when the night was in full bloom, we found ourselves once again in the ocean, being rocked by the waves, sitting cris-crossed in each others laps, sharing moonshine of two kinds! And again I ended up topless! And again, Hob was the most gentle! We kissed a lot, and the water was very salty, and very warm, and we shared that apple pie moonshine, and I was pretty much head over heels for Steven Hobgood, and I wasn’t even one bit upset about it.
I’m going to pause my story here, because the next segment, is important to get just right!
Stay tuned. ❤️
