I look across the room in the Coffee Shop, and feel certain that I recognise the pretty young woman sitting quietly in the corner. She is working on her laptop, and oblivious to her surroundings.
I sat back and study her intently, as she taps at the keyboard with her long fingers; her nails are trimmed short, and simply varnished, unlike many young women of today. As she stares at the screen, occasionally moistening her lips, I feel a stirring familiarity, as my eyes rove over her body. She has fairly large breasts, and from the way they move as she leans back in her chair, then forwards over her laptop, it seems that they are unhindered beneath her grey-striped, business-like blouse. She occasionally crosses and uncrosses her long legs, inside a tight black pencil skirt, which clasped her thighs tightly.
It had been some years since I visited my home town, and I feel sure that this young woman is familiar to me in some way. As I focus my attention on her, she glances up and catches my eye. In that moment of eye contact, it comes flooding back to me.
I now feel sure that she had been a fellow student at college here, and I struggle to remember her name, but as our eyes make contact again, I think “Lucy!”; that was it!
She was a fellow student some years ago and I had lusted after her privately, but she was very shy and withdrawn, and I had never known quite how to approach her. I don't think anyone did know how to get past her defences, and I suspect she never formed any close relationships with the rest of her classmates.
I know, though, that I had lusted after her, on many occasions, alone in my own rooms, imagining what it might be like to be with her. She had a great body, and clearly still has, but she had made herself almost unapproachable, and I gave up any ambition to pair up with her. Now, though, I feel that perhaps we have both matured and that I should take this opportunity to connect with her.
I look directly at her and she meets my gaze; her eyes flick briefly downwards, but then re-engages with mine. I see a flicker of recognition in her eyes, but then she blushes deeply and looks away; she tries to return to her work, but one hand strokes her hair and she is obviously conscious that I am studying her. She gently moistens her lips, before looking straight at me again, almost defiantly.
I take this as a sign of interest, and move over to her table, asking politely whether I can join her, and whether her name is Lucy. She looks a little taken aback but allows me to share her table. I was right about her name, and as we talk, it emerges that she remembers me too... “Its Simon, isn't it?” she says.
Of course, I am delighted that she should remember me too, and we exchange something of our life stories since our college days. She is still rather reticent but relaxes more as our conversation develops. It seems that she had never moved away from our home town, but all her acquaintances- she did not call them 'friends'- have left, and she has inherited her parental home. She has no life-partner but has settled into a very demanding office job which occupies all her waking hours.
As she talks, it becomes clear that she is very lonely. I sympathise, because I too feel rather isolated by my pressured working life. This trip back to my home town is rare, and is only for work purposes; I feel no sentimental attachment to the place, though I have some good memories of my college days, and the vision of Lucy in particular.
We talk about those times, and I boldly tell her that I remembered admiring her. She casts her eyes down and says that she had admired me too, and sometimes wishes we had connected at that time.
Then she suddenly looks me straight in the eye and says, “Would you like to connect now, Simon?”
I am a bit taken aback by her uncharacteristic boldness, but obviously, something is going on inside her head, which I can't quite decipher. “Of course,” I stammer, “Yes, Lucy, I would love that. You wouldn't believe how much I thought about you in those days, but I just never got the courage to ask you out. I didn't think I was worthy of such a beautiful girl as you and I'm not very good at handling rejection, so I tend to avoid the risk.”
“I know exactly what you mean, Simon,” says Lucy, “ I suffer from the same problem myself. I must admit that I thought about you on many occasions, when I was alone in my rooms. In fact, my imagination ran riot sometimes, and I had some very naughty thoughts about you. It's sad that we never made a real connection, isn't it? I don't have any real friends to spend time with now- just work colleagues, who I don't really like, to be honest.”
“We can do whatever you want, Lucy. I'm here for several days, in the hotel around the corner. Would you like to come around this evening, for a drink and a meal?”
“I don't often drink, Simon, but I would like to spend some time with someone who might understand me. Especially now.”
“What do you mean?” I say, “It feels as though there's something you're not telling me?”
Hesitatingly, she says, “The truth is, Simon, that tomorrow is my birthday, but no one knows that and I have no friends or relatives to share it with. It feels as though no one cares for me, and it would be lovely to spend some time with you. I have taken the day off work tomorrow, but I just don't know what to do with it! If you have the time too, perhaps we could make up for some of the missed opportunities of our past? I'd love to just talk with you.”
I am astonished and tell her so, but of course, I am keen to make her birthday memorable- for myself too. We arrange to meet at the hotel bar in the early evening and when we part I hope she feels as happy as I do. This feels like a wish come true- a wish I had almost forgotten I ever had.
When Lucy walks into the hotel bar, my jaw drops. She is stunningly beautiful and dressed immaculately in a tight green sheath dress which accentuates all her curves, while the slit up her thigh reveals her shapely long legs to best advantage.
“Wow,” I say, “you look spectacular! I often imagined you but this is better than anything I could have conjured up. Thanks so much for meeting me here.”
As we take our drinks to a corner table, Lucy asks me what exactly I used to imagine. I stumble over my words, too embarrassed to tell her the true details, but admit in general that I used to fantasize about her body and what I would like to do with her. She seems very amused and teases me by asking exactly what I imagined.
I say, “It will take a few more drinks before I will have the courage to tell you that!” and my mind spins with all the images I once had of her revealing herself to me and giving me the freedom to use her body as I wished. These thoughts all set my pulses racing and I can feel my cock responding, twitching and growing.
Lucy smiles and says, “It can't have been any more than my own fantasies about you! I often pictured you naked in my imagination, and doing whatever I wanted with you. It helped me to satisfy myself when I was alone and so frustrated.”
It seems that we are both very much on the same wavelength, yearning to make up for lost opportunities of the past, and it may not be long before some, at least, of our fantasies became real. Our conversations become more and more explicit, as the drink flows, and I can hardly believe the images Lucy conjures up - this is a girl I had thought prim, proper and shy! On the surface, of course, she was. But years of unrelieved frustration seemed to be unbottled now, and she becomes more uninhibited with every passing minute.
When I return to our table with fresh drinks, she blatantly focusses her gaze on my crotch as I stand before her (literally!). She can see that I am aroused and looks up at me, moistening her lips.
“I've imagined you, Simon,” she said, “but I've never seen the real you. Do you think you will meet my expectations?”
“That depends on how exaggerated your imagination is!” I say. “But I hope the reality won't disappoint. I know I won't be disappointed in you because you look stunning, but I'm fascinated to see more of you.”
I sit alongside her, and her hand rests on my thigh before stroking upwards to my cock, pressing urgently against my pants. She gives a little sigh and says, “I don't think I'm going to be disappointed, Simon!”
