Another car passed by, fairly close, and she reached out for him, pulling him closer to her. Her protective instincts made him smile.
Realizing what she had done, she apologized. “Sorry. I was afraid they couldn’t see you very well.” She pulled her hand back, quickly. “Be careful out here. Can I call someone to come help you? There’s bound to be cell-service not too far down the road.”
Bobby was smitten with his would-be rescuer. He had never thbeen so immediately and completely infatuated. “I‘ve already called my brother on the radio. But I sure appreciate how sweet it was for you to stop and rescue this big fella . I’m Bobby, what’s your name, precious?” He held his hand out in greeting and after a moment’s hesitation; she placed her hand in his.
Immediately, her whole body flooded with warmth. Her hand tingled and set off answering sensations in her nipples and clit. Wow! This guy was potent! “ Ceelee ,” she used the name that her Daddy always called her – it was dear to her heart and no one else had ever called her that. It seemed fitting, somehow, that this man would.
“A beautiful name for a beautiful girl.” His words made her blush – he could see that even in this light. “Are you chilly?” He hated for her to cover up, but he couldn’t stand the thought of her being uncomfortable. “I might have a jacket in my truck.”
For the first time, Cecile became aware of the direction of his gaze. Looking down, she was horrified to see that she might as well have been naked. There was nothing about her breasts that wasn’t on full display. Being in such an emotional state, she hadn’t bothered with a bra and now she was blatantly exposed. Lifting her arms to cover herself, she apologized profusely. “Good grief! What you must think of me! I’m so sorry. I didn’t think.”
The look on her face confused Bobby. Every other woman he knew would have thrust those tits out or rubbed them against him. This one acted like she was waiting for him to berate her for exposing herself to him. Facing away from him, she looked so distressed that all he wanted to do was draw her close and assure her that seeing her beautiful body was a treat and a privilege, not some hardship to be endured or avoided. “It’s okay, sweetie. You don’t have to turn away from me. I wouldn’t hurt you for the world.” His words didn’t seem to bring her any comfort. She still looked as if she thought she had committed a crime.
“I’m glad your dog is okay. If’ there’s nothing else I can do for you, I guess I should leave.” Desperately, she pulled on the wet material that was plastered to her body. “I’m so sorry,” she apologized again. She couldn’t believe that she had stood there holding a conversation with him like an idiot. He probably thought she was coming on to him. Damn! Carl had told her several times that her breasts were too big for her frame. Once, about a month ago, he had flat out told her that she needed to wear looser clothing, that her body was no longer that of a teenager. “I’m glad you’re both okay. Excuse me, again.” How humiliating. She turned to go; wanting only to get in her car and away from this embarrassing situation as fast as she could.
Stopping her with a light touch, he spoke softly. “You have nothing to apologize for. You are absolute heaven to look at.” Bobby couldn't take his eyes off of her. Even with wet hair and no make-up, she was the cutest thing he had ever seen. "Would you like to go out with me sometime?" She flashed him an exasperated, disbelieving look. “Are you free – I mean , do you have a boyfriend or husband?”
He watched as desolation rolled over her face. Something was wrong. “There’s no one – not anymore.”
She seemed to catch herself before she said anything else.
