I was the most shy girl in college. Brought up in the countryside, I never did get to interact with boys, not to talk of men, mature men, with pecks and glorious beards. And here I was, in the middle of it all. It was hard for me to live in fantasy anymore. I wanted to feel the actual touch of a man. A real man. Not what I had in my head or what I read in books.
This day I was sitting in the cafeteria. Wondering if all his eyes were on me. Turns out, Oscar's eyes were trailing me. Had been for weeks. He was average, dark and his beard was dark and probably shampooed. His cologne was mild for a man. Closer, I realized that he was a clean man. I smelled his aftershave. That day, our eyes locked, and I felt a cold shiver go through my spine. He mumbled a light hello and sat opposite me.
Here was a man next to me. My body was on fire, my head all twisted, and I barely ate. I nibbled on the food. I wanted this man.
He left a note on the table. The note said "When you are ready, call me"
My mind spun out of control. I was angry. "ready for what!?" I asked myself over and over again.
After a week, I was ready. With my pride, I wanted to tell Oscar off. I was a virgin and my father was a man of "God” and my mother taught me to be strong. I called.
His voice was deep, and he said, "Hello shy girl" Oh, that melted my legs. He knew me, he knew I was shy. I was impressed. Not because He knew me, but because I knew he would take me out of my shell. He was delighted to finally have my number.
It all started with mild messages like, "You are beautiful" "I would love to see you naked" and "I love your boobs"
I was building on pressure. I knew I had something to offer. After months and months of lunches and little meets. My birthday was coming up. Oscar was a charmer, he asked me to dance with him on my birthday. I was so excited.
We had to get out of town.
It was my birthday. I was excited. I was afraid. I was in love. That morning, Oscar opened his car door and let me in. I realized that I had loved him all along. It was no longer pent-up sexual desire. My heart trembled when he hugged me and said, "How is my birthday girl"
I simply replied. Happy.
We drove into the cabin Oscar rented. It was an interesting ride. I was like a little girl. I listened to Oscar as he sang along to music. I was staring at the trees as we cruised into the campsite. Oscar was a little surprised that, I enjoyed the silence. I didn't want him to see my thirst. Our last stop was the convenience store we had to buy some supplies.
Inside the store, Oscar held my hand and led me to different isles. Inside the store, Oscar ordered condoms. I was so ashamed and hid behind the counters. When the condoms were neatly packed, he found me. My question was, “Are you not embarrassed that people know?” He laughed and said, “You are such a silly girl, people do this all the time”
At that moment, we locked eyes and I told him, “I am not people.”
He hugged me. I felt safe. I felt needed.
I looked at him briefly. At that brief moment, he saw it, The innocence. The thirst. The longing for a man to know me. To discover my womanhood. And he kissed me.
I could not resist his lips. he kissed me and after the kiss, he held my hand tight. He didn’t want to let go.
While holding hands, we quietly paid and walked back to the car.
We both sighed at the same time. Then, Oscar broke the silence. He wanted to know, why I am not people. I sighed and told him that I was just not that. He smiled and said, we only got fifteen minutes to get to our cabin. Maybe then, you can trust me.
My eyes were in tears. I could not stop them. I needed this. I have always needed this. I needed this not to end. And Oscar was it. We were deep into the woods. I did trust him. That is why I drove here with him.
We were handed the key and we moved into the large decorated room. It was a cozy cabin.
Oscar left to pick up a few things in the car and told me to freshen up.
I dug into my bag and took my towel. I packed my clothes into the closet.
As I was getting ready to shower. Oscar walked in. I froze.
He hugged me. As he told me. “You are sweet and shy. So, I will call you double SS”. I smiled
Oscar stripped off his clothes. He was not afraid. I quickly gazed away. He laughed at my awkwardness and invited me to take a shower with him. I whispered that I couldn't. Oscar, naked and erect, held my hand and said, "You need to trust me, beautiful. I am not going to hurt you"
