As we wrapped up the picnic, Kim mentioned she had a surprise for me. I realized I just spent two days with her and the only time we weren't talking is when we were asleep. This was amazing for me, whether it be a male or a female - for me to spend that much time with anyone is unheard of. Either I will get bored or I will say something out of pocket that, even if true, probably shouldn't have been said! (LOL)

So when Kim told me about my farewell surprise I had bittersweet feelings. I believe I could have stayed longer to see if she was the one. However for one of the few times in my life I was going to stay focused.

It was around 4:30 when we packed up and she said that I should drop her off to prepare the evening. She suggested that I should go back to hotel to rest, clean up and then be back at the apartment around 7pm.  Now at this time of my life if anyone told me what I should do, no matter how innocent, it was always met with a comment.

Except this time.

I dropped her off, gave her a kiss on the cheek, and went back to the hotel. I laid down for about an hour, took a shower, smoked a joint and headed back to her apartment. On the way back my mind raced, what was she up to? I also thought about the fact that I hadn't done a line since I had got here. Oh well - more for later!

I walked up to the door and knocked. She opened the door. She looked great and smelled even better. She had a black clingy dress that was very short and hugged her curves, black stockings that you could see the tops of because the dress was so short, and perfume I had never smelled before. I was stunned. She had Frank Sinatra playing and for the first time in my life I felt like I was being seduced! She tells me to have seat and pours me a Crown Royal and says dinner would be ready in 15 minutes. I didn't say a word but thought fuck the dinner, let's go!

I sat and sipped the Crown while we made small talk. Then dinner was ready. It was the exact dinner I ordered the night I met her. That was very romantic. It was good, but I wanted to get to her...hopefully she was the dessert. 

She took my hand and said come with me. She led me into the bedroom and told me to sit down. I sat and she played "Brother to Brother" by Gino Vannelli. She had listened when I told her that it was my favorite album in the bedroom (still is)! I proceeded to have one of the greatest nights a man could have...how do I know this? Well, because 30 years, 3 months, and one week later I remember that night. And every August 2nd on her birthday I think of her and remember those 3 days in Buffalo.

At 7am we fell asleep I woke back up a couple hours later and Kim was up. I looked at her there wasn't much to say. I asked her for her panties as a keepsake and she called me perverted as she handed them to me with a smile.  I now know that love at first sight does exist. I took her phone number and address and said I would send for her. I walked out the door wondering what if? 

I got back to the hotel packed up my stuff. Checked the room to make sure I didn't forget anything. I made myself two big rails snorted them and walked out to the car with a big smile. My scalp was tingling.

Next stop, Cleveland to see a couple guys I had become friends with when I lived there.
