Chapter 9: Charlie Sheppard

 

The next few days became a blur of hot passionate sex mixed with unforgettable moments of intimacy. Sandra and I spend a lot of time together. We have fun in the pool with my family. We all go see the ruins and explore the market place. I manage to haggle a nice price for a beautiful necklace that really goes well with Sandra’s eyes. 

I’ve never felt this close with someone before. I feel like Sandra really gets me. She is so different from everyone else I’ve met. She’s kind and sweet. She’s smart and funny. She’s got the kind of smile that melts your heart. I love the way she fits so perfectly in my arms, especially when she’s asleep. The way she snuggles up to me is adorable. 

We’ve spent so much time together over the past couple of days it almost feels like we’ve been dating for months. Her laugh brings me joy. Her eyes capture my heart. She opened me up to what love is supposed to feel like. Unlike Lexi, Sandra listens to me. She doesn’t care about my money or any of that superficial shit. She likes me for me. 

It feels nice to be with someone who truly cares about me. I didn’t know this is how love is supposed to feel like. Lexi always made me feel inferior. She had a way of making me feel like I wasn’t good enough for her. She was beautiful, but she had such an ugly personality. She valued money over the heart. Sandra on the other hand is beautiful inside and out. I wish I would’ve realized that sooner, but if I had, I would’ve never met Sandra and I’m glad about that. Proposing to Lexi might have been the best decision of my life. I realize now that I had to be with her and experience what love isn’t to be able to discover what love truly is.

I know it sounds crazy. I only met this girl days ago and yet it feels like we’ve known each other our entire lives. The way she looks at me makes me feel like she understands me. With one look, I can tell how she feels. She wears her heart on her sleeve and I love that about her. There’s nothing fake about her. She doesn’t hide who she is, she embraces it. 

And I can’t forget about the sex. I never knew what sex was supposed to feel like until I slept with Sandra. The way she kisses me makes me feel worthy. Her touch fills me with joy. As good as the sex is, the most amazing part is after we’ve both climaxes and cuddle up. Holding her in my arms feels so right. I feel warm inside and happy. With Lexi, it was never like that. Sex felt like a chore and I never felt good enough. She made me feel like she was doing me a favor. It never felt like the way it is with Sandra. 

For once, I feel like I belong.
