"Ships in the night"

Cara

With a shrug of my shoulders and Tim's oh so helpful hands, my robe feel from my shoulders to pool around my waist. I stretched as I sat there perched upon him, causing my back to arch, succulent breasts thrust foward. My hands slid up over my breasts, fingertips gliding over pouty nipples as I watched him, a grin playing around the corners of my mouth giving hint to lustful thoughts.

"Come here you sexy vixen."

My gaze slid over his body, slow and sensual as he pulled me down to him, his hands burying in my hair. His lips found mine for a breath-taking fiery kiss. My tongue met his eagerly, curling around it in a caress as old as time. God he was an excellent kisser! My lips toyed with his, nibbling, suckling, savoring the sensation - only to have my tongue delve into his mouth once more, suckling up on his hot, sweet tongue.

My hands cradled his face, soft moans murmured against his mouth, our lips moving together in a sweet crush. I slid my body the length of his, my nipples skid along his chest - the firm buds gliding over his heated flesh as my body pressed tightly against the length of his.

 

[cgraven]

That kiss returned with equal passion, Cara’s nipples burns my skin with hot desire. I hug her tight to me, as if simple act, would keep her from leaving my side. We roll and wrestle in a lover’s embrace, hand exploring each other, smiles, long passionate kiss, then sweet feathery kisses. The joy of flesh on flesh, and surrendering to the sheer joy of being in each others arms.

Cara looking up at me, flashing green eyes, that copper mane lustrous in its disarray., she was the woman of all my silly fantasies warm an in my arms, My lips began to kiss and worship her delicate, supple body, from her throat, to work slowly down acroosed her fevered barest, the flat even plain of her bell, with playful kisses, licks and nips, searching out little places that gave Cara pleasure.

How my hot breath stirred the fine red down of her “Venus Mound”. Smiling, I slowly lowered my face to her roes pedal lips, my tongue licked the length of her labia, savoring her fragrance, and the sweet nectar that is Cara.


“’Hmmm Cara O'Hagan you taste as sweet as honey.”

Cara

Tim is a wonderful lover; the slow, tantalizing exploratory tastes, kisses and touches were banking the slow burn that was building inside of me. I writhed beneath his caresses, giggling on occasion when he hit a particularly ticklish spot, sighing and moaning softly when he hit the less ticklish and much more deliciously sensitive areas. My hands roamed over his body eagerly, relishing the warm, strong flesh beneath my palms.

My eyes flew open at the first kiss of his tender lips upon the apex of my desire. It was quickly followed by a pleasured purr at the first flick of his velvet tongue.

“Hmmm Cara O'Hagan you taste as sweet as honey.”

I smiled at that, lips stretching in a near wanton smile at his words. I reached for him, needing to touch him. The soft touch of my fingertips sliding over his head in a glancing caress as my legs parted like Moses’ command of the red sea, exposing myself more fully to him, welcoming and eagerly awaiting his intimate kiss.

 

[cgraven]

Cara purrs and moans as I make my first passes with my tongue. Her legs part in invitation for a sweet tender kiss, tongue darting, flicking, at the hood guardian, to her sweet moist passage to paradise.

Slowly I coax her clit to a pearly hardness, sucking it into my mouth, tonguing it, nipping it suckling on it, then inhaling to draw a stream of cool air across its feverous surface. Two fingers knitted together slide into her sweet passage to find her special spot and to bring wild delight to Cara.

Tongue and fingers work in harmony to please my love.

Cara

Tim’s head was buried between my legs, driving me to the brink of madness. And it was madness. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined such a straight-laced upper crust banker could have such a tantalizing sexual side. I was surprised, happily so no doubt about that!

I quivered as his tongue parted the ripe sweetness of my petal-like folds, moaned and arched against his clever mouth as he suckled the dewy pearl of my femininity. It was torture. It was rapture. It was heaven and hell. It felt as if fire surged through my veins, mixed with my blood, spreading to every nerve ending.

My hips ground against his lovely mouth, his thrusting fingers. Stiff with mounting tension, I clung to the pinnacle, then splintered into a thousand pierces as sharp pleasure pierced my body.

 

[cgraven]

Cara’s sweet nectar bathe my face in her heavenly flow of passion .as her euphoria engulfs me too. In loving adoration my washing kisses pay homage to Cara as I devotedly make my pilgrimage up her divine form tot share he sweet taste with her as our lips join and tongues dance together in the simple joy of their share ring.

I roll and posies Cara above my throbbing shaft, the time for games now passed.

“My love……Cara come to me.”

Cara

I opened my mouth at the press of his lips, flicking my tongue, a tiny wet touch, an invitation. His tongue delved into my mouth, mine curled around it, suckling the warm wetness, the honeyed taste. His hand stayed in my hair, the other around my waist as he rolled with me. My lips were devouring his and his responded in kind. He kissed me as if he would eat me from the mouth down.

My hands slide along the muscles working in his neck, down over his chest, fingernails dragging. I felt, more than heard, the hiss of air against his teeth as my hand curled around his thick shaft. I was poised over him, straddling him with my hips, my hand braced on his chest. A crown of fiery red curls framed my face, cascading down over the gentle slope of my breasts as I looked down at him, my gaze caressing his face.

I rocked my hips forward causing the tip of his cock to slide along my glistening folds. My own breath caught in my throat as it stroked against my throbbing pearl. My eyes were lit with a raging desire, the sparkled darkly – the pupils wide and dilated. I positioned my wanting sex over him and guided him into me, lowering my hips inch by delicious inch over his shaft, my velvety wetness wrapping around him – tight and secure. I cried out, my head flinging back, sleek back arching as I pressed myself completely down over him. My hips ground against his in small, undulating circles, relishing the feel of him so deeply inside.

 

[cgraven]

Cara’s tongue flicks out to meet mine, to eagerly share the sweet honey nectar of her essence, playful welcoming it. she invites mine to play in the warm sanctuary of her mouth. Now hungry as the “Tigress” she devours my lips, my mouth my being. Nails rake across my chest, liquid trails of hot white desire rising in their wake. Cara hands braced on my chest, a devilish smile upon her heavenly face, innocent angel, yet wanton demoness. She rolls her hips forward, the sweet wet kiss of her sex, firing the velvet helmet of my ardent desire, firry red down tickles my shaft, as Cara consumes the iron bond lust, that grow at her moist touch.

Mindlessly on parched lips I whisper her name in the ancient cant of lovers, “Cara, oh god Caraaa,……….” No, not so much words of love, but a prayer, breathed out as my spirit meet hers, to sing of how my love pleases me.

I am consumed by Cara’s driving need, enfolded, in her warm wet secure, velvet passage, hip to hip, thigh to thigh, groin to groin, as Cara, sensual cry splits the air, her head thrown back, her back arched as my hands massage her breast, and excite the twin rosy diamond that crown their perfection. .She rises, then as Cara plunges to consume me again I trust to meet her advance, we move as one each stroke deeper and deeper our rhythm and tempo matched in a wild dance of passion, as the world melts away and Only Cara remains.

Cara

The moment I took Tim inside me, I knew I was in trouble. Ah, but it is a good kind of trouble, a most delicious, succulent kind of trouble. The kind I had refused myself for quite some time. Now was most certainly the time for indulgence.

My hips rocked over his, warm wet velvety walls sliding along his length, clenching and releasing around his thick shaft with each smooth stroke. A wanton, seductive smile spread across my lips at his expression, his own pleasured moans mimicking mine. The sound of flesh hitting flesh filled the room as I quickened my thrusts, my body rolling in a serpentine fashion above his.

Our refection caught my eye. From our position on the bed, I could watch our every move. My gaze was trapped, transfixed watching his glistening cock slide in and out, sheathed by my petal-like folds. I watched as his hands slid upwards along my body, pinching and tugging at my sensitive nipples, dragging a low, guttural moan from my throat. I leaned down over him, my hands cupping his face as he lifted up to meet me, my lips capturing his, tongue penetrating as I kissed him deeply, passionately, thoroughly, suckling upon his tongue as my hips continued their every constant roll, my walls clenching him, refusing to relinquish their hungry hold on his throbbing member.

 

[cgraven]

The petals of her velvet lips embrace my shaft, the smooth, moist, silken, depths of her vagina clinging, grasping, and consuming my shaft with each heavenly stroke.

She is woman primeval, wanton, innocent, temptress, Misstress and slave to her master all at once. I am her Master and willing servant as I meet her serpentine plunges, with powerful penetrating trusts. Our lips locked in wild passion, tongues freely roaming, tasting, and sharing each other’s mouths.

My hand slips between our rutting bodies, a finger finds the blood engorged point, of Cara’s clit and I roll it beneath that finger tip.

Cara O'Hagan

I might have stopped this earlier, I might not have, but from the moment our bodies touched, from the moment of our first impassioned kiss, it was too late. All thought of the consequences of our actions had vanished. There was no going back, there was no saying no, nothing existed but the pleasure he gave.

Our kiss continued my lips crushed against his, kissing him boldly, thoroughly and demanding more. I broke off the kiss with a gasp, breathless, as I struggled up, my hands braced on his arms, leaning up and away from him, forcing my sex tighter against him as I ground my hips against his. My pleasure was building in a skin-tingling rush, building, building to an almost overwhelming tension. His hand slid between us, caressing the apex of my desire. It was all I needed, the breaking point that pushed me over the edge and beyond. I threw back my head and screamed as the orgasm building inside me exploded. White-hot heat flared through my body as the shattering power of my orgasm spiraled through me, in me, around me. It was unbelievable. True and perfect ecstasy.

 

[cgraven]

Cara O’ Hagan I had been lost from the moment those flashing eyes had captured my heart in the pouring rain, I was lost now her soft skin, the wild firry mane that smile that made my heart skip a beat. She was all that I had ever dreamed of, longed for, she completed me.

Cara kiss was not timid but bold open honest, passionate, the way she made love the, even her climax all had a “joyeux de vie” , joy of life, that swept me to my own climax buried deep inside her as I touched that “Joyeux de Vie” for the first time in my life, Cara name on my parched lips.

 

[along came mary]

Cara

Tim's cry echoed my own. I felt him stiffen, heard him cry out my name as I felt his heat explode inside me. For the space of a few labored heartbeats, I felt as if I were floating. My breath came out in a forceful gasp and it was only then I realized I had been holding it. A smile bloomed across my lips as I gazed down at him. I leaned over him, my hands braced on either side of his head, fingers curled in the rumpled sheets. I rubbed the tip of my nose against his in a near childish caress, my breath falling warm across his lips.

"That, Tim," I murmured against his lips, slow and lazy, "was most incredible."

 

[cgraven]

Words could never describe the felling the ecstasy, the euphoria that engulfs me as we climax together. Cara one moment wild Vixen, the next a childlike sex kitten, as she rubs my nose with hers.

"That, Tim, was most incredible." Cara’s words slow, lazy, breathed more than spoken.

“That it was Cara O’Hagan That it was.”

Hands tenderly cupping Cara’s face I draw her into a soulful kiss, then hug her to my chest. Cara’s legs grip my waist and thighs as she settles down her respirations slowly returning to normal as I am buried still deep insider her. I fight to stay awake but we are both spent and sleep slowly claims us.

 

[along came mary]

Cara O'Hagan

I woke slowly to the rumble of thunder and patter of rain on the window, my body surrounded enjoyably by a cocoon of oh-so-warm body heat. I stretched gingerly, smiling to myself at my pleasantly sore muscles. I tried to roll over, but found the press of flesh kept me pinned on my back. Tim’s well-defined arm and thigh was flung over my body, effectively cradling my body to his as one would hold and guard something precious. His manhood, pressed against my thigh stirred at my slight stretching and even though the steady, even breathing suggested he was asleep, the press against my leg proved beyond a doubt he wasn’t necessarily sated.

I opened my eyes, blinking the last vestiges of drowsiness away. The room was dark, save for a small line of moonlight that drifted through the parted curtains. I turned my head to the side table, the surprising bright, stark red digits of the alarm clock causing me to squint just a bit. 3:30 a.m. Hmmmm, not too terribly early for a wake up call.My smile stretched to a grin as I turned my head toward Tim. My gaze caressing his face, finding it relaxed as he slept, free from lines of worry and concern, giving hint to the more carefree and reckless boy of his youth. All in all, he was a most handsome, undeniably thoughtful and passionate man, and one I truly wished to know better. My cheeks flamed at that thought. Cara, Cara, Cara. What an impression you have made. A tiny voice of shameful doubt tried to wiggle its way forward, but I effectively pushed it back to the recesses of my mind. So what if had things turned around, sex before dating. It was most certainly a wonderful experience for me and I was not about to feel one iota of guilt about it. Sure it was spontaneous and reckless and a bit hasty. But damn it all, it was most assuredly fun! I needed this. He needed this. Perhaps even more than I. He was such a gentle and sweet lover, all caught up in a guarded shell though. One, I thought with a proud smile, that I had effectively broke through.

I wriggled out of his embrace carefully. He protested yet relented, murmuring incomprehensible in his sleep as he rolled over onto his back and settled back to sleep with a sigh. A mischievous glimmer lit my eye as a devious thought settled in my mind and formed itself into a rather naughty plan.

I slipped up onto my knees and crawled under the warm sheet, positioning myself against his side. I slid a hand along the deliciously warm flesh of his thigh, fingers curling around his at-half-mast shaft. His breath changes a bit at my touch and I glanced up at his face through a fringe of dark lashes. His eyes remained closed, yet his lips parted with a soft moan. I continued to stroke the silky skin, feeling the shaft harden and stand at full attention against my palm. My full luscious lips lowered over him, brushing lightly back and forth against the tip. The tip of my cherry-pink tongue slipped out, sliding against the small slit of his opening and exploring it gingerly before swirling over the entire corona. My mouth followed my hand as it made a smooth downward stroke, slick lips gliding over the shaft as I took his cock completely in my mouth. My tongue curled around the sensitive underside, producing a delicious friction as the tip slid along the curve of my palate, pocketing against the back of my throat. I swallowed instinctively, before slipping back up along his shaft, only to have my scorching mouth plunge over him again, and again. His fingers curling in my hair and my name uttered with a guttural moan gave evidence to his awakening.

 

[cgraven]

I am at peace, pleasant dreams of c Cara drift through my mind, of her spontaneous buoyant nature, of the joy she has brought to my hum drum existence. I see those flashing eyes, the way they smiled at me form the fist, the way she flipped her hair, the sassy sway of her hips when she walked, yes all the little things that made me want to know her better.

I stir as the memories of the touch of Cara’s hand seem so real, the softness of her fingers, when she touched me, I can swear I can even feel its lingering warmth on my thigh.

“Caraaaaaa”

Her names escapes my lips as a sigh, a whispered, prayer, no a need and all consuming need for Cara. I can feel her warm moist presence surrounding me again then silken tress of her air under my fingers., then I was fully awake.

“Cara I love you.”

 

[along came mary]

Cara O'Hagan

My mouth continued to piston over his throbbing shaft, delighting in the salty taste of him. My gaze darted up to his face, enjoying his enraptured expression and pleasured moans.

His hands slipped through my hair to cradle my face, urging with a gentle pressure for me to rise. I lifted my swollen, glistening lips from him, my eyes full to overflowing with a questioning confusion. He smiled at me softly and motioned to me with a slight nod of his head. I climbed over his body with an almost feline grace, a playful yet predatory smile widening across my lips.

I paused over him. My face poised a few scant inches from his, my sea green gaze flicking back and forth from his smiling eyes to his parted lips.

“Cara I love you!”

My eyes widened in shock, but I had little time to contemplate his announcement, much less question it as his hand on the back of my head pressed my lips to his, and I was lost in another of his breath-taking toe-curling passionate kiss.

 

[cgraven]

Cara’s lips on mine the trill of her body pressed to me, every never alive to her feel. Cara’s nipples bite into my chest, the downy softness of her mound tickles my thighs, and that kiss, as it deepens, with such tender passion, the taste of her, so exotic so sensual. She is all that I have ever dreamed of .

“Cara I love you… I know that it must sound silly to you, but I do.”

I gaze into those eyes that have stolen my heart.

“Here do we go from here …. Or is it just me my love?”

 

[along came mary]

Cara

I blinked. He loves me? His words shocked me to my core. I pushed myself up, leaning over him on the bed studying his face, my eyes having adjusted to the darkness of the room.

I sat up on the bed abruptly, needing just a bit of breathing space, a little distance. I sat on my folded legs and tucked the sheet around me.

“Where do we go from here?” I spoke his words back to him in a hushed whisper. I don’t really know why I whispered. Maybe it was just the overall quietness of the room or due to the wee hour of the morning. Or perhaps it was just I didn’t know what to say.

“I don’t really know, Tim. I’ve never really been in this situation before. We’ve kind of gone about things a bit backwards. Usually people tend to meet, go out on a couple or three dates, get to know more than just one another’s names before ending up where we are.” I grinned at him in spite of myself, my warped sense of humor rearing its sometimes appropriate, most often not, ugly head.

The grin faded a bit at his expression, and I cleared my throat and tried to take on a more serious note. As serious I suppose as one could get while being scarcely wrapped in a cotton sheet speaking to a wildly attractive naked man who just happened to have professed his love to you while reclining on your bed. Whew! Talk about a runaway thought.

“I won’t lie to you, Tim. I can’t say that I love you. I find you wildly attractive and most definitely have some lustful feelings for you. I’m pretty sure I have demonstrated those beyond a shadow of a doubt.”

I took a deep steadying breath, holding my up hand signaling for his patience to let me finish.

“Tonight has been incredible and I really want to explore the possibility of something more with you. I’m not ruling out anything at all. I could very well be saying those three little words to you in the near future, but I think right now, it’s too soon to have that emotion enter into this. Don’t you think we should try to establish some sort of relationship outside of mind-blowing sex, first?”

Blast it all! My focus on seriousness slipped, I just couldn’t help it! I grinned yet again.

 

[cgraven]

I look in to Cara’s eyes waiting her response.

“I don’t really know, Tim. I’ve never really been in this situation before. We’ve kind of gone about things a bit backwards. Usually people tend to meet, go out on a couple or three dates, get to know more than just one another’s names before ending up where we are.

She of course was right her gay bubbly spirit that I so loved kept creeping to the surface as she tried to keep a serious note in her voice. A matter of hours ago this would have upset me but those eyes her spirit is what had captured me I had never known such an open vibrant person.

“I won’t lie to you, Tim. I can’t say that I love you. I find you wildly attractive and most definitely have some lustful feelings for you. I’m pretty sure I have demonstrated those beyond a shadow of a doubt.”

Honesty a trait I valued more than any other and my long to be with Cara grows.

“Tonight has been incredible……………..”


“Yes it was. I must leave on a business trip. I’ll be out of the country for three months. I want to be with you but I appreciate your honesty. Call me on the 14th if you want to see me again. If I do not here from you Cara I will not bother you further.”


I kissed Cara on the tip of her nose.

“I guess I better go now and let you get some sleep.”

Damn It was the hardest thing I ever had to do only half of the joy of oral sex and to leave her now ,…..my heart was aching.

 

[along came mary]

Cara

I didn’t protest. I watched him leave, lying back on the bed the feel of his kiss still warm on my mouth. The latch caught with a loud click as the door closed, the sound echoing around the empty room, amplifying the stillness. I turned to my side, the side of my face burrowing into the soft pillow, the rumpled sheet gripped tightly in my grasp. Heavy eyelids fell over drowsy eyes as sleep once more took me into its embrace, the thought of Tim lying pleasantly on my mind.

* * *

(For the sake of continuity! *poof* Three months later.)

Cara sat in the small back office of O’Hagan’s Irish Pub, looking out the tiny window that allotted her a small glimpse of the world outside. The sun was declining, dipping down below the tops of the trees, throwing their shadows across the small lake of Cross Park.

A long tapered digit toyed with one of the many red curls that encircled her childishly pretty face. Her gaze flicked from the window, to the calendar, to the rumpled piece of paper she held in her hand. The paper contained the number of one Tim McCall. A man she had met and who had made a lasting impression on her mind, if not her heart. Today was three months to the day of their encounter.

A small smile formed on her lips as she thought back. Their meeting had truly been memorable. She loosed a burst of laughter at the mildness of that word. Memorable. Oh yes. Most definitely. Scarcely a day went past that she didn’t think of him.

His announcement that night concerning her loan approval had certainly proved right. She had received the loan without even the inkling of trouble. In fact, Haberworth’s seemed rather pleased to take her on. They had very little to complain about really, seeing as how O’Hagan’s so far was thriving and the loan payments were always on time.

Her gaze traveled three fold yet again, yet adding a new resting place – the phone. She squared her shoulders and took a deep breath as she picked up the receiver and punched the digits to Tim’s number, her finger literally stabbing the buttons in her determination.

One ring… Two rings… Three rings… Four…

She had pulled the receiver away from her ear when she heard the whirl of an answering machine. Tim’s all to familiar voice rolled over the line, causing a flock of butterflies loose in her stomach.

“You’ve reached 555-7839. I can’t come to the phone right now, but leave a message and I’ll get back to you soon.”

The line beeped. Cara was silent for a moment before rushing through her message.

“Hi Tim. This is Cara O’Hagan. It’s been while. I don’t really know if you remember me, but I most definitely remember you. Uhm… if you like, you can give me a call back at 555-3290. I’m at the pub now, but I’ll be home after 10. Take care, Tim. Hope to hear from you.”

She lowered the receiver into the cradle with a sigh. God! Her heart was racing like she had run a marathon. She laughed at herself and shook her head as she stood and made her way out to the bar. She could certainly use a drink.

 

[cgraven]

I was just coming in setting my bags down, it had been longer than I expected, as I had been to Asia as well as Europe on the trip for the bank and was scheduled out in another week for a return to Singapore

The answering machine whirled as it picked up;

“Hi Tim. This is Cara O’Hagan. It’s been while. I don’t really know if you remember me, but I most definitely remember you. Uhm… if you like, you can give me a call back at 555-3290. I’m at the pub now, but I’ll be home after 10. Take care, Tim. Hope to hear from you.”


The line went dead just as I picked up. Without even thinking I dialed 555-3290. It seemed forever before her voice so soft and sensual came on the line.

‘Cara Tim here just got in. my bags are still packed how would you like some company for the week end ? I could be ther in about three hours…… That is if you want to see me.”

Just the sound of Cara’s voice brought back all the memories of that night and she was all I could think, of all that I wanted, all that I longed for, rolled into one very attractive package.

 

[along came mary]

Cara O'Hagan

I left the Pub a bit early, leaving Sean to close and lock up. He didn't seem to mind, he'd been the one to suggest that I go ahead and make an early night of it, distracted that I was. Sean was a true blue friend, a keeper that was for sure. I'd lucked out in hiring him as an associate manager for O'Hagan's. He'd been one of the few that stuck with me during the troubled times and I certainly appreciated him for it. Most likely more than he would ever know. He was right on the money about my state of mind as well, I was distracted. My mind had been racing ever since the phone call, I couldn't seem to get Tim out of my thoughts.

I slid the key into the lock and let myself inside my modest two bedroom home. I was greeted instantly by Midnight and Snowflake, my babies. Cats actually, one solid black, the other solid white. Original names I know but they didn't seem to complain. They mewed their welcome to me, rubbing along my lower calves affectionately.

I strolled to the kitchen and refreshed their food and water before returning to the living room. The red flashing light on my answering machine piqued my attention. I punched the button and leaned a hip against the oak desk, my breath held in anticipation.

"Hello Cara-darling! Ruth here! Just wanted to remind you of my Pampered Chef's party Monday evening. Remember, you promised to come! 7pm sharp. Don't let me down. Bye darling! Call me!"

I rolled my eyes and let my breath out with a bitter groan. God. How do I let her talk me into these things? Disappointed, I had started to step away from the desk when the machine clicked again and the voice I had longed to hear filled the air.

"Cara, Tim here just got in. My bags are still packed. How would you like some company for the weekend? I could be there in about three hours…… That is if you want to see me.”

Oh-my-God! My heart leap with excitement. If I want to see him?! I laughed at that, shaking my head. The silly thing, of course I wanted to see him! I grabbed my purse and rummaged through it for his number. I snatched up the phone and dialed his digits, smiling so wide that my cheeks nearly hurt.

He answered on the second ring and a short, sweet conversation ensued in which I assured him that I did indeed want to see him again and would adore the chance to spend the weekend with him. We decided due to the late hour and my insistence that he rest before he traveled anymore today that he would meet me at my house mid-morning tommorrow. I gave him precise directions and ended the conversation with a reiteration of how mutually happy we were with the chance to see each other again.

I climbed the stairs that night to bed with a smile on my face that nothing in this world could have possibly wiped away.

 

[cgraven]

“Cara I’ve missed you,……….”

The conversation was light and airy and despite my assurances that I could be there in a matter of hours Cara insisted that I get some rest, I gave in rather easily as I was dead on my feet. The sound of her voice brought back a flood of memories.

The night and drive seemed to drag on until I pulled up to the modest little house. My hands where shaking in anticipation of seeing Cara again.

The bell seemed to echo through the hose, then the door opened and there she was, flashing green eyes, wild red hair and that funny little smile of her.

“Cara O'Hagan, I’ve missed you.”

I enfoled her in my arms and kissed her deeply.
