I stopped and turned to her "How did I get so lucky to find you?"

"I guess you lived a good life" Taye smiled "You’re not like any other entleet to know me You made me feel like it was important to you; like I was important to you"

We stood there for a while; you know, having thatvibe "No," I said, "that’s not what I wanna ask you"

Taye took a step closer and sh to kiss "Well, just what do you wanna ask me?"

It ether, but it wasn’t easy "Taye, you’re an intelligent woman You’re funny, and you are so beautiful How come you don’t have a man?" My father told me once, when you meet a pretty woman and she doesn’t have a man, find out why

"Because he was a ood woman he had," Taye said

"So do you think it would be all right if I kissed you?"

"I don’t think I’d slap you, but we’ll just have to see"

I took Taye into ently She put her arht up it the moment

That first kiss, the one I’d been thinking about since the first tiined it would be Taye kissed me like it had been a while since she’d kissed a er since she’d kissed athe last year of her relationship with the ation than a pleasure shared, when two are in love It was a task to be perfor more

That first kiss between us was tender and filled with passion I really couldn’t say how long we stood by the car kissing, but it was a long time

When we finally separated from each other’s arms, we both just kind of stood there in co at each other until Taye finally said, "Wow"

"Yeah," was all I couldher door

As we drove to Taye’s apartment, no words were spoken There were none needed The sexual tension in that car was strong We held hands and exchanged glances during the ride Each tiht, I would lean over and kiss Taye; allowto seeht was about to happen, I really had to fight the urge to drive faster
