Thread: [KylarStern & Tortoise] Dancing With Myself;;

For a really long time his thoughts chased each other in a maddening circle inside his head. He knew what he wanted and he knew it was probably a mistake. But he still couldn??t help imagining her in his arms. And it was true, she had only grown more beautiful in the time they??d been away. Where as, he??d fallen in love with a girl who had danced her way into his heart and life, today he??d felt the same love for a woman who had chosen to stand up defiantly against the vagaries of fate. Of course, it didn??t help that she had grown into this ravishingly desirable woman. A small smile played on his lips as his thoughts returned to the time they had spent together. Sitting across her at the deli, his eyes had surreptitiously taken in every little detail. Her body had been great, but now it was perfect. Countless times during the day he had wanted to pull her to him in a hug, just to feel that perfection pressed to himself. Her lips... pink and full begged to be kissed and more? her eyes still had that enigmatic quality that made him feel like she could see straight into his soul. He wondered for a moment, if she really could? and whether she knew just how much love burned within him for her still. A warmth was spreading through him and he wondered if it was her or the wine. Just thinking about her was turning him hot under the collar, and he grinned at how much she could affect him without even being in the same room. His fingers snaked up to the silver chain around his neck and he pulled out the golden band that hung strung though it. He slipped the chain off his neck and removed his wedding ring. He stared at it for a long time, wondering why he??d never been able to get rid of it, or at the least put it away some place. Instead, he carried it around with him everywhere he went, strung around his neck. He quietly slipped the ring onto his finger and slowly turned his hand this way and that. It still felt right he decided. It belonged on his finger and nowhere else. Of course he couldn??t possibly turn up at her doorstep on the weekend wearing that. It would be such a weird and pathetic thing to do. And just like that, his confusion had vanished. He would go? he knew that now. As the decision was made, he felt his heart lighten and the yearning returned. He shook his head slightly, knowing that he was smitten? all over again. He suddenly realized, he was still holding on to that paper she??d jotted her number down on. He couldn't remember how it got there, but realized that he really wanted to call and hear her voice again. He was nervous, what if she was busy? or had already slept. He looked at the clock? it was almost 10 pm. He himself was a late sleeper but he knew her to be more disciplined. And would he come across as desperate? He shrugged knowing there was only one way to find out and so reached for his phone. He wondered what he??d say to her. Then smiled remembering their little trysts on the phone, back in the day. She could be shy and coy sometimes when they were together, but put her on the other end of a phone and her inhibitions vanished. It brought an unbidden grin to his face as he remembered. Of course, there was little chance of that now! He punched in her numbers and listened to the line connecting. When her phone started to ring, he was feeling a little nervous and his heart fluttered in his chest. It was a feeling he hadn??t felt in a long time. As the phone continued to ring he wondered if she??d pick up at all. He hadn??t given her his number, so it would show up only as an unknown number.
