Sport Stories: The Disparate Couple (2/3)With his pulse still racing, he stammered, "So tell me, Ari, does your husband or boy friend work out like you do, I mean, is he all bulked up and all!?!" When didn't answer, he quickly interjected, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked such a personal question, please forgive me!" She touched his arm again, this time letting her hand linger as she replied, "No, it's okay, it's just that, well, I don't have a boy friend, no man in his right mind would ever want to date someone who looked like me!" Now turning to face her, he took her hand and replied, "You're kidding I hope, because you're about the most amazing woman I've ever met!" It was then that he first noticed that her eyes were glistening with tears, and he realized that she was really hurting inside! He leaned forward, gently kissing her cheek, and said, "Let's get showered and go have some coffee!"
"Two coffees," Byron said to the waitress in the all night diner they found not far from the gym! Making an attempt at small talk, Ari commented that she had never been here, but that it had a lot of atmosphere! The waitress returned with their coffee, and then left the two of them alone in the back booth! Byron took a long drink, put his cup down, and said, "I know this is may sound crazy, and don't get upset, but I think that I'm in love with you!" The words hung in the air for what seemed like and eternity, until Ari replied softly, "I-I think I love you too!" Byron's head began spinning when he heard Ari's response to what he thought was an absolutely crazy admission, but incredibly, she felt the way he did! They sat in the booth for two hours just talking, trading information about one another, and trying to go slow, even though they were anxious to dive head long in! Outside the cafe next to their cars, they kissed under the light of a lamp post, not a sexy French kiss, but a sweet affectionate kiss that new lovers revel in! When they pulled apart, each could see it in the other's eyes, it was electric for both of them! This was Wednesday, so they traded phone numbers and made a date for Saturday evening! As each of them drove home, they were both positive of one thing, they had each found their soul mate!
It had been a marvelous evening, just some burgers and a movie, but it was better than the ballet and a five course meal at a fancy restaurant! It seemed that they were made for each other! The one thing that at first was a little disconcerting, was the number of stares Ari received because of her overly developed body, but after a while, Byron didn't even notice or care! Later that evening, in front of Ari's apartment building, the two of them sat in the front seat of Byron's car and necked like a couple of teenagers! After one particularly long kiss, Byron looked into her eyes and whispered, "I love you Arianna, just as sure as I can be, I love you!" She kissed him again, and then whispered back, "Come on up stairs for a while, I'll make some coffee!
