Thanks * Dear lord: I am before you a humbled man, not standing, not kneeling, but lying before you asking for forgiveness for my sins, praying that you give me strength, wisdom, and courage to battle through all of my daily struggles, and that I can leave all of those negative images of my past behind me as well. Lord: I pray to you asking to know you better, and to be brought deeper into my love walk with you, so that I can share with family, friends, and those individuals who I meet. Please lord bless me as I start my day, so that I can share what I know with others, and be confident in what you have taught me so far, and be open to what I may learn, and be thankful for the gift of another precious day. Thank you lord, I pray this prayer. In Jesus name. Amen. I prepared to embark on another adventure, another trip off into the great country called the United States of America, armed with a new confidence, a new zest for life, and I headed for the airport. I had no clue I would be leaving on the trip to change my life for good, and that it would be the trip where I would see something I had never seen before, also to do things I had never done before. *************************** Everything getting through the airport was wonderful, and the flight was even better, peace and quiet all the way to my destination. I had landed safely in beautiful Milwaukee, WI. I don't know about beautiful, but the weather sure was nice, a nice 75 degree middle of the summer evening as we landed, and not much to do for the evening except chill out and wait for the next days events to begin. Or so I thought. Leaving the airport, and there she was, all 5'5 of her, red hair, pale smooth skin, thick and juicy, like a nice T bone steak, but I had no idea where she came from. It was like she had just appeared out of no where, and I was just a dear in headlights, waiting to be run over. Nicely dressed, hair beautifully done, glasses framing a beautiful smile, and a figure that just curved like a dangerous set of S turns going down a mountain, that you know you should slow down on, but all the way down to her nice pair of Nike's, I knew that those curves were parts I wanted to just hang on for the ride, and skate down to the bottom. Black jeans, pink shirt, and that red hair! I couldn't get enough of looking at her as she walked away, but of course, just my luck, she would disappear into the crowd, and I would start heading for baggage claim, so I had no idea if I would see her again. I couldn't get her image out of my head, so much so that I almost tripped over my own luggage as the red cap handed it over to me. We snaked our way through the small yet very busy airport, and then waited on the shuttle bus which was heading for the hotel where the conference would be, and wham! There she was, in those form fitting jeans, and that red hair, waiting for the shuttle as well. I almost came right there, but luckily I am a smooth kind of guy. As she turned, I finally was able to get a good look at her, and there they were, framed by a nice pair of reading glasses, the most beautiful hazel green eyes I have ever stared into. I was lost in those eyes for a moment, because it was like we were able to read each others thoughts in that moment. I introduced myself as Jamie, and as she shook my hand, I knew she would be the woman I would marry. There was a definite spark there, and we held hands a little longer than I felt like we should have, but I dam sure didn't mind. As the shuttle pulled up, she introduced herself as Tina Lee from a place I would find out later to be GA. I had no idea if she felt the sparks between us, or if I was just in a dreamer's world, but all I knew was I wanted to experience that feeling again. I hadn't gotten to that point of asking myself yet if this woman is the one, or if God sent her to me, but the conversation flowed easily between us for the 20 minute ride to the hotel, and then before you knew it we were going out for dinner together. Once we left the shuttle though, that's when shit really hit the fan, because as we all exited the van, and got to the back to find our bags, mine wasn't there. So I was heated, hot under the collar, mad, which ever analogy you wanted to put there, and the driver couldn't explain to me why my bag wasn't in the van. So I went inside to the front desk, ask for the dispatcher to the drivers, and ask them to check around for my bag, got checked in, and an hour later, Tina Lee was still next to me, steady as a rock. As we headed up to my room, and I was still on a hunt for my bag, I needed to call the airline, Tina let me use her cell phone, and I learn during a rather short conversation, they would call me back. 25 minutes later during a return phone call, the airline said they needed to wait for the shuttle driver to return to the airport, to find out what happened to the bag. So for the next hour, Tina and I sat around talking about how I could be prepared for work, with no dress clothes, and no shoes, and only jeans. She said "Well, I could always lend you one of my dresses, and we could get you some lipstick and get you looking like Madea." Now, I consider myself to be a rather handsome guy, at 5'10, and dark skin, and rather stocky, at 215 lbs, but that was just what I needed, because I started cracking up laughing, and the tension I felt kind of melted away after that. It wasn't that I didn't care if I found my suitcase, it was just that she took my mind off of it, and we ended up talking until we got the call that my suitcase was found. We were both very relieved, and after about three hours of waiting, we ended up being quite hungry as well, so we ended up going to a Thai restaurant which was almost directly across the street from the hotel. Walking in a light drizzle, under an umbrella with her was a little romantic, but it was such a short walk that no more sparks really flew. She and I ended up sitting at the back of the restaurant, so we could eat quietly, but we saw her boss, as well as a couple of my colleagues also. This created a very interesting atmosphere, because Tina and I had just met, barely knew each other, and were in that spot of should we go sit with people we knew, or stay with each other and explore what was developing. I had no plans on leaving her side, so I took her hand in mine, and looked her in the eye, and said very directly: "I would be honored if you would have dinner with me tonight." She smiled and with a southern drawl which melted more than just my heart, she stated: "I would love to." After that we ordered our food, and shared information about work, our likes and dislikes, and why we were at the conference. Every time she focused her hazel green eyes on me, I could sense wonder in her heart, and that there was more there than even I could understand, but I wanted to know more. Her eyes looked into me as if we were connecting right there over dinner, and we were saying so much without even saying anything, but as much as I wanted to hold her gaze, I couldn't, because I too had secrets I was not ready to share. Jamie and Tina's Beginning Ch. 02 Dinner between Tina Lee and I could have lasted all night, because it seemed we had an instant connection, like we were baring our souls to each other without saying much. From both of our plates, it looked as if the food left a little to be desired, but each others company was what made the dinner special. Before we knew it hours had past, and we needed to get back over to the hotel, because we both had to ensure that we could get up and be ready for the next day. I knew I had exhibiting to do, and she had workshops that she would be attending, but we couldn't be certain that we would see each other. So by the time we walked back through the hotel, we were walking slowly, enjoying the moments of being in each others presents, and it was just nice to share time with that special someone. I wanted to plant a kiss on her once I walked her up to her room, but I didn't think that was appropriate, so instead, I just held her hand gently, and gave her a soft kiss on the back of her hand. Then I whispered goodnight in her ear, and the heavenly scent which she was wearing, was still on her even after a long day of travel. Going back to my room that night, I knew my life was preparing to change, I had no idea how much it was going to do so, but Tina Lee was going to be the start of something for me, and I wanted to find out what it was going to be, because I could see how special she was just in the way she walked, in the way she spoke, not just to me, but also to others, and most of all in the way she treated me. I had a very difficult time sleeping that night, because my mind was on Tina Lee, and my reality set in... I had a girlfriend at home that I also had to tend to. ***************************** Saying Goodnight to Stacy was uneventful, because I truly couldn't understand why she wasn't on the trip with me, if we could get her the time off from her job, and we argued about such things constantly. I was no longer happy with the way things were going at home, and that wasn't the first trip I have taken alone for work, but it was the first time I have opened myself up to speaking to someone else on the trips, let alone interacting with them, and Tina Lee showed herself to be something special. All I could do was try to enjoy myself while in Milwaukee, and deal with Stacy when I returned home, or at least that's what I kept telling myself. A guy who has withdrawn from a relationship is a dangerous one at best, and ultimately that's what I was, so in my mind, I had nothing to lose, because I was just waiting for the other shoe to drop, and trying to figure out how to get out of a relationship I no longer wanted. After eight years of constant fighting, and struggle to find a comfort zone, to find that connection with the person I was with, I just couldn't figure out why things weren't progressing in the way that I felt they should be. Marriage, kids, better jobs, traveling together, saving money, investing in our future, all of the above, or pick one, it just felt like Stacy and I couldn't get it right. Stacy and I both worked harder than we should, we both were behind on a lot of bills, and we both couldn't understand the other persons view point. All I knew was that there was a period in the past, where travel opportunities had been a get away for the both of us, and we could rest and relax together, now these kinds of trips were an escape for me, because I didn't want to be at home, but was that a problem, nope, not so much. I got tired of arguing, and not coming to solutions, tired of the cold nature by which there was no affection, just sex, and then, there was no help offered by either one of us to ensure that things got done properly. When a person gets tired, and hits that wall, you know, and you understand change is necessary, it's just a matter of what to do about it, there comes a point where you have to start making decisions, but I just had no idea where to start. *********************** Having just met Tina Lee, I had no idea what was about to happen, but there was certainly chemistry, and it had me very intrigued, and for the rest of the first night in Milwaukee my mind wandered into the world of possibilities. Waking up for the first day of events, I was a little slow, but the good thing about me, when working the exhibition hall, and the lights go on, and they say action, I am ready to go. It turned out to be a good event, not great, but I saw old friends, met some new people, and had a chance to share a lot of great information. By the end of the first day though, I was exhausted, and I only had a chance to see Tina Lee once, and it was kept very professional. . After the first day of exhibiting, and the day was over I headed back to my room to relax, and ultimately to decompress, because peace and quiet is where I am most comfortable. Once I ordered my dinner, I knew I was in for the night, and I was very happy. The thing that capped off my night was when Tina Lee showed up, and it was already late evening, and I wasn't sure why, but looking back on it this is where our relationship went up a level, and I gained much more respect for her. Jamie and Tina's Beginning Ch. 03 By the time Tina Lee showed up, I had already made myself very comfortable, and I had no idea who was knocking on my door, why they were knocking, or if I even wanted to answer, but believe me, I was pleasantly surprised when Tina Lee with her sweet southern voice answered on the other side of the door. I had to ask her if she was comfortable with me in my boxers, but of course, her being a lady, wanted me to be dressed, but hey, you can't blame a guy for trying. So once I put my jeans back on, and let her in, she sat across the room, and I stretched out Indian style on the bed, and we watched some TV, and just chatted more about our backgrounds, and got to know more of our likes and dislikes. The deeper we got into it, the more you could feel the energy in the room heating up, and the tension thickening, but of course, neither one of us talked about that. We continued to stay apart from each other for at least an hour and a half, but then, I don't know if something clicked, or changed, or if we just got tired of it, but I guess we both decided to take a chance. I told her about how my shoulders were aching from the long hard day, and she wanted to help ease my pains with her expert hands, being that she has studied massage therapy over the years, and by this time, I had no problem letting her. So she called me over to her, and like a gentleman under a spell, I walked over to her, taking a seat in front of her, so that the shoulder massage could commence. She focused on the tension in my shoulders and neck, and taking the knots out with her strong hands. That was one thing I noticed right away, was the strength in her hands, and how she eased my tension, without hurting me. Feeling Tina Lee working her hands over my shoulders into my neck, and into my shoulder blades, felt wonderful, and showing me specific stretches which I could do to ease tension, allowed for the knots to be released, and for my upper body to relax. This must have continued for 15 – 20 minutes, and before I fell asleep, I had to switch roles, so that I was doing the massaging, this way I had something to focus on. The same way she massaged me, I massaged her, shoulders, arms, shoulder blades, and neck, and she started to turn into a puddle right there in front of me, and I enjoyed watching it happen. The problem was, I could feel the soft flesh of her neck, and my night time predatory instinct was starting to kick in, so I knew I needed to be very careful. Once I gave her the same 15 – 20 minutes she provided to me, I was going to give her more, with a foot rub, or a full back rub, but she wouldn't let me, because she felt like after walking all day, and being out all day, she didn't want me to have access to her feet, so she fought against me, and we wrestled for a couple of minutes, and it was nice, and before it was all said and done, I ended up leaning back in the chair, with her laying back in my arms, with her head laying back on my chest, and my arms wrapped around her. I couldn't have asked for a better position to be close to her, because from this position we truly got much more intimate, we whispered to each other instead of talked, we nuzzled and nibbled, and here is where I explained to her that I did have a girlfriend and how serious the problems were that we were having. It was at that point where she shared that she had a teenage daughter, and I was kind of in shock for a moment, and didn't know what to say. She and I had some hurdles to leap, but was this an alarm bell, was there being a ten year age difference between us an alarm bell, and my brain was saying yes, run as fast as you can, but my heart was so full of love and joy, that I wanted to hold on tight. I felt the connection between us getting even stronger after explaining what the problems were, and how I felt, because it was like I needed to just say them out loud to someone, and Tina held me close, and just simply stated: "Don't do something you're going to regret." My heart swelled with admiration for this woman who I barely knew at that point, because she respected me enough to know that she had a connection, that we both were feeling the same things, yet she understood the reality of what was happening. That night I held on to her for as long as I could, and we nuzzled and nibbled for a while longer, before we both realized that we were going to have to be up in the morning. Before she left that night, I pulled her to me, and proudly claimed that there was something I wanted to do all evening, and I pulled her to me, and kissed her slowly, and with passion, wrapping her in my arms. Her lips were smaller than mine, but soft, and as she wrapped her arms around me, we stayed in that moment for what seemed like an eternity, but ended way too quickly. As we broke away from each other, the passion level was through the roof, and we both knew, but we didn't want to lose the energy which the kiss shot through us. We stood there holding hands, staring into each others eyes, and then she stroked my cheek with her finger tips, as if to calm my nerves. I brushed her lips with the pad of my thumb, and we both again stared off into space for a moment, but then she started to walk away, and my heart screamed out to her, but as much as my body was on fire, my heart was screaming for the connection, I knew as a gentleman, as a man, I understood it to be the right thing to do. As she walked toward the door, she turned back to me, and stroked down the left side of my face, and down my neck with a finger tip, and it sent electric bolts through me like you wouldn't believe. My body shut down for a second, I couldn't think, I couldn't breathe, I couldn't react, and for the first time within that entire evening, I felt like I had given up control, as if she was the one in control of what was to happen next, and I was the puddle in her hands. Thank my lucky stars, all she did was give me the sweetest most sensual goodnight voice, as she turned and walked away, and I was left standing there, to wonder yet again, would I ever see her again. Jamie and Tina's Beginning Ch. 04 I continued to imagine what it would be like with Tina Lee, as she left that night, remembering the feel of her lips on mine, remembering the feel of her body pressed against mine, as we curled up against each other in the intimate way that lovers would, and how the electricity shot through us as she prepared to leave, and the spark turned into flames. I laid down that night to sleep, and Tina Lee arrived in my dreams, and they were just what I wanted. I had a chance to treat her like a lady, as we were watching some TV, and talking, my hands had a chance to roam her body, and she let me rub her feet, as she placed them up in my lap. She actually had already taken her shoes off, and gotten comfortable, and we both were just walking around the room with no shoes on, because we had dinner in the room. So she just laid her head back in the chair, and just enjoyed my hands running over the soft flesh of her feet, and even with her being ticklish, she still let me provide a complete foot massage. This meant I was able to run my fingers between her toes slowly, and from her heel, all the way up to her toes. Then I could apply pressure on her arches, down to her heel, and back up to the ball of her foot, starting on the right foot, and then conducting the same motion on the left. Then slowly pulling her to the bed, and laying her on her stomach, and massaging her back, and with this, I was in heaven. All that loveliness, lying next to me, I could not keep myself from touching her flesh. Finger tips dancing up and down her spine, and all the way up to her neck, and enjoying the way she purred for me as I crossed over her sensitive spots, I was surprised that I wasn't attacking her though. Next thing I know, I was wrapping her in my arms, curling her up in my blanket next to me, and we were both falling asleep next to each other. This picture of Tina Lee in my arms, and the feel of her flesh on mine, woke me up, and it caused me to be a determined man, because I wasn't going to be the man who turned into a man with a girlfriend at home, and a woman on the side. I knew right in that moment, that I needed to clean up whatever problems I had, and decide on what course my life was going to take. Peace, love, friendship, and happiness, sounded excellent to me in that moment, and none of those things were what I had at home, so I wanted to make sure, I cleaned up my own house, before I started in on anything else. ************************************************* I had another day of exhibiting to get through, and I prayed to see Tina Lee again, and I wasn't sure how we would approach each other, but lying down to sleep that night, it was one of the best night sleeps I had in months. That final day of exhibiting, by the time I arrived to my day of work, the hall had already started buzzing with activity, so I started right in on my work, and to my surprise, I had a visitor who I didn't expect. It was Tina Lee, walking up behind me, and with one of the most sensual smells I ever caught a whiff of on a female and being that I was sitting down, as I turned, my nose was right in her belly button. My head went silent for a minute, and as she walked up, she was stroking my back, to say good morning, and I couldn't take it, my brain over loaded. I was so happy to see her, she smelled heavenly, and I just shook her hand as softly as I could, trying to remain calm, being that I was in a work setting. Asking her to back away just a little, so that I could stay composed, I let her know that she could walk with me to my first meeting so that we could talk, and that gave us a chance to make sure we knew what the rest of the day would look like. Unfortunately, I was packing up by the middle of the day, and she was there until the next day, and we would have to say our goodbyes as we left the conference area. She gave me a half hug as she pointed me in the direction of some empty chairs, and that beautiful southern voice said "We will talk later, and it was great meeting you." I focused in on my presentation, and for the rest of the day, I tried not to focus in on how soft she was, or how I wanted her in my arms again. For all I knew, that was going to be the last time I would see her, but the rest of the trip to Milwaukee went by without any issues, and I knew it was time to go back home.
