WHAT A MAN DOES First time met! The burning red sun was hot and sticky, just a typical hot tropical day, maybe just a touch bit warmer. It really was one of those dam days in which a person felt like they were in a desert. Not much different than any other tropical day, if a person is used to it. So like a normal person that is hot and thirsty, I needed a drink. Driving in this kind of weather without air-conditioning did not help me at all. So I stop for a cold one, at the first place I see. From the outside, the place does not look badly at all. It was well kept, from what I can see of the building and the parking lot. As I walked into the café the lights were down low, the music was playing soft and mellow, it was very relaxed. I looked around the place, not a big crowd about half of dozen or so, in the whole place or “joint.” This is when I saw her, dirty blond hair, about 5’6”, 120 lbs., just the way I like it. I could not really see her eyes,” the color of her eyes” that is, but as I started to walk closer to her I noticed she was checking me out. By the way, she was checking me out, which was telling me it was going to be o.k., or something of the kind. By the way, I had the cowboy boots on so I could look a touch bit taller, a pair of blue jeans and a plain shirt. Every step I took, the more of her I see, and the more I see the better she looked. Let’s not forget I did not say, “The more I drink the better she looked!” I got about 3' to 4' feet from her, and then I took a seat at the bar. I asked the bartender to pour me a nice cold cocktail. While the bartender is getting my drink, I felt her eyes upon me. I asked myself should I turn around and look at her. That’s when I saw, the small mirror. As I look at the small mirror, I could not see all of her, except her perky breast, and that was so divine for me. I almost wanted to shake hands’ with it. That is when the bartender asked if I would like anything else. No thanks not at this time, I said. We spoke a word or two, about how it was warmer than the normal day and so forth and so forth. That is when I turned and saw them; they were blue— Beautiful navy blue eyes. Not just any navy blue no, no, no, but the kind which we see in paradise. That is right, paradise all around her eyes and I could see myself in them. I said, “Hello my name is Vas, pleased to meet you.” “My name is Invinne,” she said. What a sexy voice she has, like a voice in the wind that keeps us company while we walk and enjoy the fresh breeze. Let me tell you, I would love to enjoy that air that is for sure. I said, “That is different, how did you acquire that name?” She said, “A Portuguese sailor gave it to my mom many years before I was born, and please do not ask me what it means because I am not really sure.” I have always had a problem starting a conversation with someone, especially if she is cute. I get a little nervous and I do not know what to say or what not to say, but thank God she picked it right up and started the conversation! I was not surprised; a woman can really go at it. She asked, “Do you come here often?” “No this is my first time in here, this weather got me hot and thirsty and I thought that I needed something to cool me down,” I said. I could tell that she was a wonderful person; I am a pretty good judge of character. We spoke for about an hour or so. We had a few laughs; we talked like we were two old friends. “I hate to say this,” she said,” but I have to be going now, it has been fun.” I really did not want her to leave; I enjoyed her company and our pleasant conversation. I needed to get her phone number, to see her again; I had to come up with something!! So I asked,” Which way are you going? Because I have my car at the shop, about two to three miles down the road. You know, if you can drop me off, I would be so much obliged.” She looked at me and said, “O.K. “with a smile”, that is not a problem or trouble.” We got into her car; it was a red SUV with a gold strip. “Did you just have your car cleaned,” I asked. It had the aroma of a summer breeze. “No, it has been a few weeks since I had done it,” she said. While she drove, we spoke some more. Nothing had changed, the conversation was still so delightful and her smile my God “ah, ah, ah” brighter than the sun itself. “I would like to give you my number, maybe we can go out some time,” I said. “Maybe a movie, dinner who knows maybe both, anything you like, it will be fine by me,” I said. “That sounds nice.” she said, “and I will give you my number too, feel free to call me at anytime.” When she said any time, it made me feel simple, marvelous, and fabulous, you name it, and I felt it!!! We exchanged numbers, and I said,” There is the place, coming up here at the right.” She pulls’ over and stops. We looked at each other for a while and smile. I was dying to give her a kiss, but it was not the right time. So I put out my hand, and said,” thank you, it was nice meeting you.” She grabbed my hand;” it was very nice meeting you too.” “The pleasure was all mine,” I said. I then gave her a tender loving kiss in her hand. While holding her hand, I sensed her palm pulling me in, but I gave her a glance and said, “thank you and I got out and waved goodbye.” I waited until she left, and then I started to walk back to my car. Three miles back to the café, because that was where my car was at. That is what a man does; to get to know a pretty lady or a girl. “Will we ever be appreciative for it?” I do not know! It took us ten minutes to get there; it took me forty-five minutes to get back. WHAT A MAN DOES First date After a week went by, I gave her a call. But before I call her; I thought about, what I should say to her. I thought about all different things’ to say to her. But the moment she picks up the phone and said Hello. My mind went blank, everything I thought about what to say was forgot, “it was gone! “ All I said was hello, hello to you too. Who is this, she said. Hi it’s vas: OOO how have you been, she said. I ‘m fine and yourself, so we spoke for about an hour and I asked if she like to go out this weekend. She said it sounds fine, how about dinner at seven o clock, Friday night? Super, that’s prefect, she said. We met at the restaurant in the front door right at seven. We smile at each other when our eye met. I Got next to her and give a kiss on the cheek soft and gentle and we went in. I asked the hostess to give us a quit and romantic atmosphere. We started with appetizer call Barquinhos de lagosta it’s -Lobster seasoned, breaded and baked. For dinner we had carne de porco a alentejana it’s Clams and pork together with potatoes. And for dessert we enjoyed charlotte de ananas “it’s a pineapple dessert”, we left the restaurant about nine. While I’m walked her to her car, we our saying to each other how wonderful the evening was. When we got to her car and it was time to say good by. We look at each other; it was so silent in that time in the moment. I didn’t want her to leave but, I didn’t want to seem to pushing. I had to think of something!! So I got close to her and put my index finger under her chin raising it closer to me. Her mouth looked sensual and inviting. I gave her one last glace and I moved close’s to her lips. Soft, smooth, gentle and slowly I kiss her lips. She stood still, then a chill and goose bump, woke her up when I licked her upper lip. That’s when she started kissing me back, with the same movement and gentle Pressure and pleasure. Every movement of her kiss was better and better, it seem that our lips were made for each other. We knew now when, why and how to move our lips, to one other. I think it is still early to end the night, I said! She said I thing your right. What would you like to do, she asked? A quiet place where we can be a lone and talk, How about your place or mine, I said. “I, I, don’t know,” o.k. we’ll go to my place, she said. A few minutes later we arrived at her place. It was a one family house, with a two car garage next to it. Very lovely home, But, it’s not something that I would dream about. I like something, should I say, a-littler different, I’ll tell you more about it late. I follow her in and close the door behind me. She said, please let’s take a seat in the Lounge and I’ll prepares us a couple cocktail. I said, thank you that sound marvelous. I start it to look around her place, “it’s not because I’m noisy,” but it seem like the thing to do. It was a peach of a home, and I was very comfortable in it! While she’s prepares our cocktail. She said vas, what kind of music do you listen to. I stopped and thought about it. You see we have not talked about our ages different yet. I now I got at least eight to ten year on her. I said, I listen to country, soft rock, blues, jazz, oldies but goody. How a but rap and heavy metal, she asked? I knew that subject would come up. No I’m not into it at all, it those not relate to me, I said! She gives me a little grin and said, I’m going to put some music on. We stayed in the lounge for about a half hour or so, and we moved to living room where it was more comfortable. She put some music on, down low so it would not interfere with our conversation. We’re zippy our drink and talked about the music and about our evening. Then we stop and looked at each other. Her face was saying to me, kiss me you fool, kiss me. So I moved in a little close in touched her cheek with my index finger a soft, smooth and gentle touch. Like holding a flower in the wind so delicate, not to crunch it‘s leafs. And she touches and rubbed her hand on my goatee. I love a man with facial hair, she said. We grasp our lips together with passion and desire and we held each other tie. I went slowly and took my time, giving us much pleasurable sensation. I begin to kiss her lips, moving down to her neck, and at the same time unbuttoning her blouse. Far enough to see the charming of her body. I stop and gave a mild, calm, tender kisses between her chest, at the same time gently rubbing her nipple. In her delicate and elegant body, I started to move slowly lower. Her breeding got deeper and heavier with every kiss I took. Her passion grew stronger, her movement was wildness we rolled off the couch to the floor, none of the passion or desire was lost. We had clothes all a pounds the floor, as we roll all around it. Banging our body against the furniture’s and walls. The passion and the desire of the body grow Stronger as the breeding got deeper. As the satisfaction and the pleasure comes to a rest. We kiss slowly, soft and smooth and embrace each other tie. Then we look around and seen our clothes all over the floor. And the blouse that start it all, just waiting and waiting in a corner. Morning came way too soon for us, we took a shower together and the feel arouse again. After all, was said and done, she made me breakfast. We had coffee, egg, home fries and toast, while sitting at the table. She asked me, how’s your car running? I said, to myself what is she talking about. And then it hit me, “ah” I said, it’s running o.k., I’ll tell you some other time what happen that day. We finest eat and said good by and I got in to my car. But something felt funny, I looked around and though about it. But nothing came to my mind, didn’t see anything wrong so I just left. When I got home to change my clothes, that’s when I notice that my underclothes was missing. Did that just happen? Or was it intentionally for me, to have an excuse to call her back? But this time, I’ll know what to say! WHAT A MAN DOES Before the break of dawn After dating for about six mounts we were like two of a kind. No matter what we were doing or where we were: we always knew what one another were thinking or feeling. It was like we could read each others mind: feel the happiness or pain if it was one of those day. And we never got tire of being with each other. The more we saw of each other the more we wanted to be together. So I did something special for us. The night was so divine a clear sky, full of stars and a bright moon. We stayed in a sailboat about a mile or so, off shore. Where, there was no way that anyone could ever get in touch with us. There was No phones’ to ring or call, no computers, to search the web or net, just a bit of music, her and I and it was, all that we need it! Where we had dinner, relaxed, and held each other tight underneath the stars like it was our first date. We watch the sunset and the sailboats‘, slowly going by, while we’re having strawberries and sipping champagne. We felt a sleep half of the night underneath the stars. Then we got up and went in, to lie down to rest or should I say tried to rest. But every time she moved she would touch me, in such a gentle way and that, was starting to arouse me. I started to think to myself is she really doing this shit, on purpose or what. So I did the same thing to her, while pretending to be a sleep. But it didn’t take long, for both of us to stop pretending. Now she’s rubbing my chest and kissing my neck. And suddenly - she stopped, and looked at me! She grab’s the champagne glass and took a sip. And slowly dripping on my chest: I became so arouse that I wanted to grab her and put her underneath me, and start pounding. But no, no she would not let me! Slowly she started to drink and licking the champagne from my chest while giving kiss and tiny bite. At the same time moving lower toss my waist and rubbing her hand all over my body. But not in the places or parts that I wanted her to, she is really teasing the hell out of me. She could see by this time that I am in flames; you could even, have boiled water on me! I couldn’t wait any long; I grabbed her off of me and flipped her over and under me. I could tell that she was feeling like I was. Her chest was so blossoming for me to touch her. Her nipples were hardened and stiff as I nibble on it. And slowly I was moving lower to her waist, as I stop at her navel. I could feel her bursting, so I slowly started to moving up to her face stopping again a long the way! I French kiss her; she starts to kiss me as passionately as I kiss her. As I give her the pleasure, making her all excited and juicy. With my! #$^&#$! “She would call it, the long and strong”! We rocked that sailboat like it was having a hell of a storm out at sea! We got so dead tire that we fell asleep unknowingly. Right before sunrise, the morning is excellent. Not a cloud in site and a delicate fresh breeze. It was going to be a perfect day, I said to myself. Before I went to wake her up, to have coffee and watch the sunrise with me. She looked so peaceful laying there a sleep and her beauty is indescribable, like something so wonderful seen for the very first time. Her scent, delicate flavor is a combination of my favorite meal and the most pleasant fragrances of all. She’s lien on her back and how perky, healthy antioxidant chest and it just drives me wild. So I unbutton her pajama top and start to kiss it slow and gentle. I look at her face and it seems, like she thing she’s having dream.Suddenly she start’s to stretch like a kitten and with a big grin on her face. She said, you really know how to wake up a woman. But Anyway, We always have done things together: for one, like watching the sunrise and the sunset. I give her a kiss and went to get thing ready. While she is getting ready, I prepare the coffee for us. I put the coffee table outside, with the coffeepot, cups and the rose I had hidden the night before. While I'm STILL waiting for her, to get ready! She always took her sweet time; it always drove me crazy. I have to thing of something to get her out here. But what, I could not think, of one dam thing. So I just lie down and wait for her, to come out. And suddenly she shows up, how beautiful she really look’s to me. I could really read her face; saying why the hell, did you wake me up, so early. But with a smile, she said good morning, give’s me a kiss, a really, really warm hug “Like she always does.” she got her cup of coffee and came and lay next to me. So we held each other and waited for the sunrise. While watching the sunrise the most beautiful rainbow appeared. She was shocked and surprised and suddenly stopped drinking her coffee, as I did too, myself! We looked at each other and smile. I said, to myself it's time; it’s now or never I got up and stood in front of her and the sun. I said, honey you are my oxygen, you are my life, and without you I can't live, I don‘t know how to. Will you marry me; by then I'm on my knee next to her. I’m looking at her, and she doesn’t say one dam thing. I said, to myself damn why is she taking so long. It’s yes or no!!! I got up and stepped up to her; she was speechless and didn't move. I shook her and then she yelled yes, yes I love to and she hugged me half to death. I was already half dead waiting for her answer!!! But after a few kisses and hug, everything was fine. And I was in the mood to go back in to the berth with her. WHAT A MAN DOES Wedding Day The big day has arrived, everything looks superior. After all the planning, organizing and inspecting everything, to get it just picture-perfect. From the tables, to the seating and the colors to decorate the hall. To add comfort to the atmosphere and the entire thing’s that goes together in a wedding. But before this day, it all was so in tenses, it looked like a mad house on a Halloween night. Every time we thought that we where done for the day. Something else came up and it could not wait until tomorrow. Every time we had a chance to be by our self, it wasn’t many. But it was enough for us to take some deep breathers‘. Everyone had there own ideas, in how thing should be done. The pressures’ we were getting from everyone, we know they where just trying to be helpful and we tried to make everyone happy. By taking there ideas putting all together, having a little piece from everyone. Now, her side of the family, they are from the west coast. Even though, I met her on the east coast, all of her family is still living in the west coast. Her father William is a quit man and a pleasant person to be around with. If all of us are trying to find out something, no matter what. And everyone is giving there opinion or throwing there idea out at the same time. He would not say a word, on less someone spoken directly to him. Like, excuse me Sir William what do you think? He would say I’m glad you asked and most of the times he would have the best answer. But now, her mom that’s a hold different story. She had an answer for everything and ninety-nine percent of the time she is wrong or has no idea what the hell, she‘s talking about. But thank god, she does not take after her mom, but her dad. Cause if she took after her mom, I would go insane or this day would never be happing Just maybe, “it’s just a thought of mine,” that is why her dad is so quit, because her mom speaks enough for bought of them. But thank god that’s all over and done with it. But know I’m heading to the church, to hear those wedding bells’ ring for her and I. one more look at the mirror to see how I look and I said to myself not bad, not bad at all. We all got to the church and everyone took their places. we are all waiting to get started, but for me it seem like it’s taking way to long, I just want to get this done and over with. But suddenly the music start it and here she come down the aisle. How nerves, I’m starting to get by seeing her so serious and dressed all in white. Walking slowly and closer to me, the closer she got to me, the happier and the more nerves’ I be came. Why is this happening to me now, there’s no reason for me to get nerves. But the more I said it, the worse it got. I had to think of something! But what, and then I thought about it. What I was going to do to her after the reception or what she is going to do to me. I thought about it so much, that another problem aroused and that wasn’t good, at least not at this time. It was not what I wanted to happen now, so I went back to being nerves again. The preacher said his sermon, we say our I do’s. And got in to the limousine and went to the restaurant or to the hall. We all are sitting in our tables’ with hundreds of people that we know all around us. And she is teasing me, with her hand on my leg underneath the table, touching, feeling and fondling my leg. That the third leg arouse once again, for the festival! I just wanted to leave and go on are honeymoon. But we could not do that now or could we. The music still had to be played, dad’s little girl had to be played and danced; our song had to be song and danced. There are still a few hours, before we could go onto our honeymoon. We are all having fun eating, drink and dancing. But now it’s time to go, go, go, we’re trying to get into the limo and everyone wants, still to talk to us. I practically push her into the limo and wave good by to everyone. Shut the door told the limo - told the driver to hit - the - road!!!! We went to Europe for our honeymoon! We stop in the Azores islands for three day and went to three different islands. Think of a place to the west, where the nature and vegetation are pure and untouched, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The Azores islands are nine different islands of adventure, nine delightful surprises. We seen dolphins and whales frolicking in the sea; volcanic landscapes covered in green. The blue and green lake; the craters of extinct volcanoes and the steam rising from the land. We decide it, to have wild and crazy sex right at the bottom of the volcano. I never had seen a volcano getting so jealous and envy before. By the smile on her face and her rosy red cheeks. I felt the heat coming from her body, myself and then I begun to understand the volcano! Then we went to Lisbon, Portugal where we stayed in a castle hotel. Our first stop, after relaxing for a few hours: Was the house of fado, it’s the traditional and relaxed atmosphere place. Fado is Portugal’s music, like country music is to the south, like jazz is to New Orleans or French. The last day we walked on the banks of Rio Tagus, before heading north to Oporto. One of the most famous wines in the world comes from Oporto its call port wine. let me tell, you that we enjoyed it, very much - all different variety of port wine, that we even, had a little too much to drink! The next day we headed to south Portugal, to a place call Algarve. The climate was wonderful, the beach, sandy white, the warm water clear light blue. The food was breath taking: our last day we stayed in the hotel. We were to tier, from all that we had done and we wanted to have a chance to enjoy ourselves alone! Before heading back home from are honeymoon. WHAT A MAN DOES After five years Its funny how time slips - on - by, when we stop to look at it or to think about it. Sometimes it’s a little too late for us. How it is so interesting, how our life turn out to be. After all these years, I never thought it could turn out this way. She still looks the same to me, just like she did the first time I met her. Beautiful smile, the prettiest face that I ever seen in my life. But work has taken a lot of our time away from each other. We’re to busy at other thing and no time for ourselves. We get home from work to tire to do or say anything to one anther and that is sad, but true. Some how that’s not what we, wanted it in our life‘s. We have spoken about it a few times, but nothing has been done about it. It looks like it’s a little too late for us. “We’re a day late and a dollar short” So that how, the old saying, say’s! But on the other hand, they say it’s never too late! Yes, I reminiscence about the days ago. About the wild and crazy thing we use to do, to one other. How much fun we had back in those days I thought it was going to last forever! Sometime it seems like it was just yesterday. It all has change now, it’s sad but true. I wander if it was her fault or mine or is this the way it suppose to be? I can not believe this is the way, now should I go with -one day late and a dollar short or it’s never too late!!!
