The cool afternoon was a nice change from the hot weather we had earlier. The sky looking like it’s going to rain, but one of those warm showers you don’t mind instead of a down pour. It was then that you looked over me. Your eyes a little leary of whether or not we would make it back to the car. We had been walking down the path about 45 minutes. The trees started to sway as the wind picked up and there was no shelter in sight. Your T-shirt dress was getting spots from the rain drops.

In the distance on the side of the trail was a bench, more of a 2×10 board across two tree stumps, but we were in no hurry. You grabbed my hand, pulled me to it. I sat down. You sat on my lap, leaning in to kiss me. It was a slow, deep kiss. Your fingers in my hair and my arms around you.

The rain was picking up.

As the warm drops came harder, you looked both left and right. Seeing the empty path for a quarter mile in each direction reaffirmed your decision. You stood up quickly and with a single motion lifted the hem of your dress over your head. Leaving you standing in front of me with just your sandals. When I picked at your house earlier you mentioned you had a surprise. I had noticed your hard nipples through your thin dress but thought you it was a new bra. Little did I know, you had been planning to do something this afternoon, you just didn’t know where.

You really wanted to surprise me, and you had done that.
