Listen, I keep my circle small if not then nobody at all.

I don’t mind coming to events by myself. Keeps me alert with a clear mind for oneself.

And if the money is right and timing is my type then I’ll be there no questions on sight.

As a business owner you walk the path alone anyway.

You do what you can and network to get to the next phase.

Walking through the doors is the main attraction. People stop and stare for an instant interaction.

They all want you and you know it. Head up high with that ego showing.

At a glance you spot me from a distance. Knowing I needed to get to you it was my only mission.

I wonder if he recognizes me saying to myself. In a disguise that you’ll despise doing it on purpose to make you realize.

Too busy being distracted you were by those other girls whom you thought were more attractive.

Saying to myself under my breath, “I got something for you.”

I ease up slowly to walk past you to quickly come back around I damn near startled you.

Running up on you suddenly your arms stretched out tenderly to grab me.

Surprised as I was at that moment. I didn’t even think you would see me coming.

Standing so close to you made my night. Our bodies connected like magnets with tension just as I dreamt it felt so right.

As your hand gently caressed my shoulder you backed off keeping your composure.

Still standing close “Hi, how you are doing?” Looking at me like I’m your sweet thang come over.

I whispered in your ear trying not to make a scene. But in actuality my body wanted to scream.

Screaming with excitement that is. In a split second you touched me, and I freeze.

Completely losing my train of thought all I could think was jibber jabber mutter utter all for you to say “HUH.”

I quickly gathered my thoughts to think because earlier that night the alcohol got to me.

Tipsy Tursey everything was murky. Doody doody doooooo and all I could say was I Love You.

You smirked, you smiled and said Thank You.

Once this was over, I didn’t think I would see you again. Going home that night, I smiled over and over and again.

Pulling in my driveway to find someone waiting. I drove past once to see who I was debating.

Debating whether I should call the cops. I didn’t know who was standing at my spot.

I drove back around with an upside-down frown. I took a closer look, and it was you looking down.

I approached you slowly not knowing if you were lost and lonely. You looked up at me and told me.

We fucking with each other, but we acting like strangers. When we come close it’s going to be a banger.

Hard to keep our eyes off each other a no brainer.

When soulmates collide, the resist is unwavering.

The way I looked at you with smoldering eyes. Had to keep it cool, I didn’t want to ruin the disguise.

I must admit though that you almost had me fooled. But when I looked back your eyes said I’m in the mood.

Little did I know that this mood would last so long.

Once this all started my hands wouldn’t leave you alone.

Everyday our bodies feel this experience as one.

You have me in every way, it’s all love.

I think about these moments in every glimmer of your aroma. Your scent is a reminder that my skin touched your shoulder.

Saying all this while he’s grazing his hands across my bra strap. He gets excited thinking no not that.

Instead, he grabs my waist to pull me closer.

His eyes lit thinking there’s so much to explore here.

Surprised as I am I gasped and surrender to his despair.

Picking me up, taking me in the house to enjoy our hot passionate love making one night affair.
