Why Did It Have To Be You?

“On second thought, I do think I recall you screaming in the shower earlier something along the lines of how you couldn’t live without my cock and how you needed it to survive.”

I let out a belly laugh. “You ass! You can’t steal my jokes!”

He’s laughing too. “Hey that was original content! I just stole the general concept.”

“Mhmm.” I smirk at him. “You may have those middle aged man skills, but your old noggin can’t quite keep up with my humor.”

He pulls me close and grumbles “Don’t make me show you ‘can’t keep up’ s

kills.”

I laugh and press my lips to his. I love how easy everything feels with Dean. It feels right.

I never felt like this with Brian. I was always worried about whether he was having a good time or not. With Dean, I can just be myself and enjoy the date. I don’t feel any pressure. I am just enjoying him. He kisses me one more time and says “C’mon let’s get this in the car. We’ve got a tilt-a-whirl to get to.”

After riding every spinning ride in the whole fair, we both feel nauseated. I look over to Dean who looks like he is close to puking. “Why did we think this was a good idea?” I moan and hold my stomach.

He laughs “Yeah it seems like it was much easier to handle when I was a kid.”

I laugh as I imagine a little Dean running around the fair going on all the spinning rides over and over. I bet he was a cute kid. “Did your dad take you to the fair?”

He grunts a laugh as if what I said was ridiculous. “No usually my nanny would bring me down to the fair by us at least once every summer.”

I don’t know why I asked if his dad took him. The question does seem ridiculous now that I think about it. I feel like I need to comfort him. Like I can somehow make up for the lack of affection he received from his family. Maybe it’s because I know how he feels. Neither one of us had a horrible family. It’s not like we were abused or anything but sometimes it almost feels worse. Don’t they say indifference is the opposite of love not hate? I reach out and rub my hand up and down his arm. “I’m not close with my family either.”

He looks over to me and smiles then his eyes suddenly light up even more.

“Ah yes! We’ve gotten to the serious part of the getting to know you phase.” He claps his hands together. “Lay it on me. The more dirty, dark secrets we know about each other, the hotter the sex wil be.”

I bust out laughing. “Oh, is that how it works? And besides who says I’m the type of girl who sleeps with a man on the first date?”

Dean raises his eyebrows at me with a huge grin on his face saying who are you kidding?

I roll my eyes at him. “Asshole.”

He leans close and whispers “I’ll wait as many dates as it takes.”

I look up to him in full swoon mode and then he ruins it by adding, “Unless it’s more than five because then my dick might fall off.”

I shake my head and laugh. “Oh my god.”

Dean laughs too. “So about those secrets of yours...spill.”

“Alright fine, but first I need fuel. Oh! I need an elephant ear, but first real food. Hmm...maybe the bacon wrapped hotdog with cheese fries?”

Dean gives me a play moan. “I can’t believe I found the perfect woman.”

I laugh, and we head toward the food trucks.

???

We did spill our guts to each other over dinner or as close as fair food can come to dinner. I told him about my family growing up and why we don’t talk much anymore, about what I am studying at college, and what I hope to do with my career once I finish.

He tells me more about his work and what he actually does, how he could probably work less but he likes to be the best in the business, and how hard it was not being able to raise Brian, especially when his mom started to start fights with him and make excuses of why she couldn’t bring him over more. Even though we haven’t known each other long, I feel more connected to him than I have some people I’ve known my whole life. We were sitting at the picnic table talking for hours and then even more as we walked around the fair eating the elephant ear we decided to split.

Dean looks at our empty plate and then looks at me. “So, I guess it’s time we end this perfect date on the ferris wheel, huh? I mean don’t want to ruin any teen romance fantasy you had going or anything.”
