And it felt like she has an ancient delicately decorated treasure box to unlock.. unlock those 50-years of marvels; stories; travels and what distinguished highly-achieving characters like him keep locked in boxes usually for the fear of misjudgment !
" Would I be able to walk through his maze without being lost or scared ? " she thought to herself while looking at her naked curvy ivory shy body in the bath-room's misty mirror after taking a warm shower that afternoon.. touching softly her firm breasts with her wet fingers; she thought to herself " Would he be gentle and humane while touching and caressing them if the occasion arises ? or else he will take advantage of them and then walk out on them like other wolves I had met have done so far ? " She put on her bath robe and ran out into her bed-room as her phone started ringing.. it was him reminding her of their coffee plans.. " Where do you want me to meet you for coffee ? " she asked him while throwing herself on her king-size comfy bed in an excitement that she was fighting to hide.. " I'll pick you up from your place at 6:00 pm, how is that ? " he offered with a warm voice.. " That would be great .. thank you.. I'll be ready at 6 ".. She stayed mummified in that supine posture in her bed for few minutes afterwards; staring at nothing but the ceiling; thinking of nothing but how to wear her make-up and her hair; listening to nothing but her pounding heart beats; sensing nothing but her womanly insecurities " Would I disappoint him after I start unlocking my own treasure box ? What would be the best strategy here.. should I make him feel I gave him my box's keys or should I just be a big mouth ? How much should I disclose ? Should I reciprocate completely or is it too early to show spontaneity now ? "
Lost in her haunting thoughts; she felt she was in a trance.. an hour passed and the phone rang again " Hi.. I thought I'll let you know I just left my place; I'll be in front of your building in about 15 minutes or so .. are you ready ? ".. She answered him back while still in her bath-robe" Yes I'm ready.. see you soon "
"All that excitement and I'm still in bed.. I can't believe me !" she started moving fast now as she felt the clock was ticking; she could even hear it loud in her mind second by second.. she dried her short auburn hair in less than 5 minutes; and started getting dressed: the outfit was a dark blue boot-cut jeans and a black fluffy chashmere sweater.. stood in front of the mirror again; this time staring at her rushing eyes and at her semi-full lips " I think a brown eye-liner with a black mascara; a dark peach lipstick and a bronze blush would do and I'm wearing my hair down ".. this much she was attentive to details.. " l will just be myself " she thought to herself " It's just coffee.. and I'm keeping my breasts hidden behind bras for now " .. she laughed at her thoughts and left her apartment after 13 minutes.. she's on her way to mature as a real pilot and that's when time management becomes second nature..
In the elevator now.. and by herself.. the moment the door was closing; she faced the wall- attached mirror and pulled out a travel size hair brush and was re-touching her hair.. " Ooh.. now I can relax.. nice smile please to yourself " and the door opened again.. exiting this time with so much calm and confidence; walking with firm steps that you wouldn't believe how swift were her moves few minutes ago while getting ready !
" He's not unlocking my treasure box until I unlock his " she thought to herself while walking towards his car.. this time her eyes were seductively smiling.. wearing her natural attractive aura again..
" Hi " She said to him the moment her dreamy eyes met his wondering ones ..

Wow.. beautiful writing!.. reminds me of a certain author.. dunno who, not Paulo.. but has overtones of Amin Maalouf, just one tiny bit..
anyway my favourite line is:
"should I make him feel I gave him my box's keys or should I just be a big mouth ?"

Hahaha BuJ 3ala " this very expressive mood of yours "..
Well, I'm always expressive at least in my hidden journals.. I decided to share my writings on my blog as I deeply believe that 'tabooing' your thoughts does nothing but kills your creativity..
Sa7 ?!

Its so intimately flowy, and oh-so-natural, nowhere do I have to pause thinking how real it is. Bringing romance out of reality is a true feat, I tell you :)
