stepping into each other as we kissed and explored each other’s mouths with our tongues. A pang of desire hit me, followed by a pang of fear. We stepped away from each other as easily as we stepped into the kiss.
We released our hands and walked side by side back to the house. Kent slipped his hands into his pocket and looked at the ground as we walked up the path from the pier to his back door. I knew that neither one of us was ashamed of the kiss or the dance, but I knew we were both at a loss. This had suddenly become more than we expected.
“Have you ever…?” He quietly asked.
I shook my head and looked at him to ask the same question.
“Once.” He admitted. “A long. Long time ago.” We were finally at the back door to his house and stopped and just looked at our feet.
“Meet me in the morning at the Promenade or at the house?” I asked.
“On the promenade, I guess.”
“Thanks for dinner.” I said
“Thanks for the company.” He smiled. “Don’t know what I do without your friendship sometimes.”
I tapped his stocky chest with my index finger. “I know how you feel, Kent. Having you around has gotten me through days I never would have gotten through otherwise.”
He smiled appreciatively. “I’m glad.”
“Good night.” I told him.
“Good night.” He responded and walked to the door. I had headed for the driveway when his voice stopped me. “Joe?” He called softly.
I turned back to see him standing in the opened sliding doors. I guess he saw the look on my face, as he didn’t wait for me to say anything.
“Maybe it’s not what either of us had in mind, but wouldn’t it be wonderful if somehow our friendship evolved to satisfy our nights as well?” He said and just stood there.
I didn’t know how to respond. I nodded my head with another sad smile on my face, one to match his, and turned to my car as I heard the glass doors slide shut. I stepped in the Camino and started the engine, pulling out slowly for the five minute trek from his house through the lane of woods before hitting the main road.
He was so right. We’d both had great loves and the losses had changed us forever. We didn’t want or need to replace them, but we were young and lonely. Our friendship and commonality had served to make us both strong and happy. The waking hours had laughter, companionship and fulfillment. Our nights however were a completely different story.
I didn’t sleep well, and more often than not I ached alone in my bed, desperate for a human touch other than my own. I had dated women since Della. I had sex since she passed, but it always came with these strings that ruined the moment. What I wanted was what I had with Kent.
There was something about the time and the place in my life that was being fulfilled by another man. We understood each other’s needs. There was this incredible unstated bond and understanding. Kent knew when I was hurting. He knew when I needed to talk and he knew even better when I just needed silent companionship, like tonight on the dock.

Damn I agree with these other writers, I can't even compare to your writing. the
re is a reason that you this story is the story of the week, and I think yo
u deserve much more. You capture all emotions, and your characters communic
ate with glances what I can't get across in paragraphs. Keep up the amazing
work!

Re: Once again... Thanks, but hardly a masterpiece. I just like figuring how to put simple w
ords together to create complex moods and emotions. I've read your work, y
ou do the same thing and just as well if not better.

Re: Damn Oh please! I am very flattered, but I'm just getting started. It's me that
should just chuck it all, but I'm a stubborn little cuss and won't stop un
til I'm happy with it. Dare you to do the same!
