CAT AND MOUSE IN THE FOREST ....

Blythe said she wanted to go back up to her campsite to "get a few things".  The fire had dwindled to glowing embers, and I watched her via her bobbing flashlight.  It was about a quarter of a mile hike up and soon..the light was not visible. She was gone way too long, and so I took my light and went to see if she was alright.  When I got to her camp site, she was no where to be seen.  I felt a tinge of alarm..called out to her in a loud voice..no reply  I did not like all of this, we had just met a few hours ago, and although we really hit it off. still did not know what she was all about. .  Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a quick glimmer of light down the hill, but it immediately went out. It must have been her, but what was she up to; did she have a gun, was she crazy....better to not reveal where I was by using my light, the full Moon gave enough to see my way around.  I began edging back down the hill toward my camp site.  I heard the snap of a branch near bye and I stopped, and just listened.  I could hear the sound of my own breathing.  Another snap of a twig but from a different direction.  I started walking back down and became dis-oriented....I came upon a very large boulder, about the size of a two car garage, but only about seven feet tall.  It was granite and gave off allot of Moonlight.  I drew up close to the boulder and slowly began to walk around it.  It was not round and had some corners.  I was just about to finish my walk around it and I heard another pop, and it seemed like it came from the other side of the boulder.  I was at a place where there were edges like steps up the side.  I thought about climbing on top in order to look down to the ground.  Another louder pop and it was just around the corner.  I was breathing hard now...didn't know what she was made of.  I crept around the corner and came face to face with Blythe.  We screamed...then..realzing it was just a game, we started laughing and just flew into each other's arms.  Didn't say a thing..just one embrace as we listened to each other breathe.  Finally, I said   "You scared me half to death, what were you thinking of?"   She said  "I got lost coming down to you and looked for your light.  I kept hearing the sounds of someone walking....we are only forty miles from and six thousand feet above fifteen million people of all kinds...just one thread between us and them."  I did not know what or who was out there in all this darkness.  I drew her close to me again, and we had our first spontaneous kiss . We both knew one thing, this was meant to be. We headed back to my camp where the embers were still glowing and the wine was waiting. We found that night that we both thought alike, it was uncanny,  both of us were wondering what the night held for us. Both of us knew what we wanted, both of us were steeped in parent taught values, neither of us want her to go back to her camp site...both of thought about the large camping tent with two sleeping bags rolled out...the pressure grew until she blurted out..."Bob, I have never done it before"  I blurted out "Neither have I..we must be two of the wonders of the World"   I got a stick and poked the embers...little sparks ascended and a feeble flame or two.  We had more wine and  we sat on a log and just stared into the fire.  A song came to her and she began to sing  "What;s it all about, Alfie, is it just for the moment we live?"  Someone needed to make the first move; both too insecure, finally, she stood and said:  "Bob, I want you to see me"  Her hands went to the bottom of her sweater and she pulled it up and up over her shoulder, over her long golden hair, and there it just swung from one outstretched arm..no bra.  Her hands went to the waist band of her Jeans and she slowly pulled them down...more and more of her lithe legs came into view until her Jeans were hanging from one outstretched hand.  She just let them drop to the ground.  She then began a slow dance around the fire,  her slender arms weaving ,  such long and beautiful legs..they looked like they would never end....I told her I was going to go inside of the tent and get ready for bed.  I took all clothing off and crawled into my sleeping bag.  Soon, a naked Blythe came in and knelt beside me. She bent over me and kissed me with many kisses..warm and moist.  For some reason, I can't remember what else we did that night. All I know is we are now married and still enoy talking on the veranda in Sacramento, Caliornia....I you want to know the details, you need to wade through the many disjointed stories below.....
