Life is kind of boring lately without the mass quantity of pills I'd been relying on of late. My consumption level is minimal right now, but sex has been there to fill the void. (Does that qualify as addict-type behavior, substituting one vice for another? Don't worry, I'm not buying into the hype that Nicola has a "problem".) The best thing I've done lately is get back in touch with Tom, a very Dave Navarro type guy - sexy but almost coy, mesmerising in simple acts like how he smokes a cigarette, pretty but also manly. Tom and I spent many summers in a ritual of drugs and booze and sex and sleep, lazy days and party filled nights. We took a break from each other every few days, and thusly never tired of one another. Thinking of it, that is probably the closest I've ever come to a normal relationship, but the R word was never discussed. I forgot how perfect it is to lay in bed with him, the way he wraps a curl around his finger, amused at how much curlier my hair turns after sex. Sex has always been perfect with him, since the first night we met and ended up together on the living room floor in a friend's house. I was just back from my last weekend with Sean, and feeling free and relieved to not be tied to this 30-something guy I hardly knew anymore. When I decided to go out that night there was an inner sense that something amazing was going to happen, and I prepared accordingly. A long bath followed with a complete shave, I threw on a bewitching new dress that I brought home from Chicago, sans panties. Long blonde hair in messy curls, everything about me then was pink and fresh and practically glowing. Once Tom and I were introduced we didn't take our eyes off each other all night. Hours later we were tangled up on the floor, Tom's tongue sliding up my legs. He practically burst when he came to my soft, bare wetness, no panties in the way of all the things he was ready to do to me. Tom's enthusiasm for pleasing me has never ceased, if anything he continues to get better and better.
Do I sound like a soft core porn author? Maybe I sent Tom home too early...
