Author's note: People ask me, 'How can you write something like "Sandy" and then turn around and write something like "Perfect"?' and all I can say is, I like to write. I don't have to like the story, to like the story...you know? This is a love letter to a woman I saw in church today. But I didn't have the nerve to say anything. If I see her next week... -rr 08 Aug 2004 -+-+- Perfect (The things I write for love) By rachael I met her in church, of all places. We were sitting in the same row, but on opposite sides of the center aisle. Next to each other, yet separated by a sliver of empty space. What a delightful tease, so much better than being right next to her. She glanced at me when she sat down, a little smile, nothing more. I'd never seen her before, I was new to this city, and this hour of worship was not my customary. It was her legs, I suppose, that fascinated me at first. They were long and beautiful, without stockings or nylons to cover her pale skin. Her dress was short when she sat down, and the woman pulled at the hem self-consciously, and she crossed her legs tightly at the thighs, so that my eyes were drawn to her motion. I stared at them, seeing the way the muscle tone beneath pulled or pushed at the skin, sculpting her flesh in different ways when she moved. She caught me several times, while the choir sang and we waited, staring at her legs and feet like that. Occasionally I'd glance up, to see her face in profile, or maybe slightly tilted towards or away from me. She was beautiful, maybe 23 or 24 I'd have guessed. Her eyes were dark, like her hair cut to the shoulders with a small inward curl. She had narrow arching brows and a small, straight nose above an equally small and sensual mouth. Her cheekbones were high and plain to see, though not prominent by any means, just enough to structure her delightful face. Her chin was neither strong nor weak, but perfect and gave her a heart shaped aspect as it narrowed. I could not see her body, she wore a light blazer, smoke colored above her black dress, and it draped in such a way as to hide her from my view. I was in love, plainly and without mercy and it was a terrible wonderful sensation to find it in such beautiful surroundings. I knew that she was aware of me. Try as I might to be cautious, to be oblique in my intentions, she would catch a glimpse of me looking from the corner of her eye. Occasionally her head would turn a fraction and I would look away, or sometimes I would turn toward her as well, hoping our eyes would meet, but they did not. She was shy and cautious. I was just 21 then, a single woman on my own for the first time. Everything was a new experience, even those I might previously have expected, life was a surprise at every moment. I sat in the church, mimicking the woman, I crossed my legs as she did, pressing my thighs together, feeling the dampness between them. I clasped my hands, or folded my arms, or let them lay limply in my lap. I worried over my hair, brushing at imaginary strands from my eyes. I licked my lips, tasting my lipstick, wishing I could see myself and know I was still pretty. I squirmed and held my breath and counted my heart beats as I waited. When we rose for our hymns I took the opportunity to look, to turn unabashedly in the pretext of rising. I moved my eyes up from her feet, along her legs as she stood, the hem of her dress now falling two inches above her knee, but clinging to her thighs, outlining them and her ass pushed out nicely, not overly large, but small and high and round. Her blazer had swept back as she leaned forward and the swell of her tummy pushed slightly against the pew in front of her. It was barely noticeable, but there just the same. The woman was pregnant, perhaps 3 months or so, just starting to show and I felt my vaginal walls contract slightly, a deep throbbing sensation in my womb. Her breasts were smallish, but firm and pushing outward sexily. She turned her head and caught me, her eyes glancing quickly away, but returning. They darted back and forth and I thought she smiled perhaps, but then became more aware of her slight belly and pulled her blazer closed, crossing her arms and I sighed deeply. It continued in that way for an hour. The almost unbearable teasing as my mind played little games, picturing this woman doing everyday things. Smiling and laughing, cleaning her kitchen, sleeping, walking, just sitting in the darkness. I didn't dare imagine more, I couldn't, she was too beautiful to spoil that way. With vulgar thoughts. I was in love, as I've mentioned. Hopelessly. As our worship service concluded I was torn between my desire to speak to her, just to know her name at least, so my heart would have a sound all it's own. And to let her go, to live the rest of my life with that one hour etched perfectly in my mind. Never spoiled or ruined, but timeless and unchangeable. She would always be mine that way, for one fleeting moment in our lives we had shared something special, something important. I knew, when she gave me a small glance before standing to exit, a look with her soft dark eyes and a barest hint of a smile, I knew she felt the same. I was hopeless and I could not let her go, it was an impossibility. I timed my own exit, moving slowly and now faster, so that we should turn our corners at the same time. This woman to her right, and me to my left, facing each other, walking towards each other so we could exit through the double doors at the back of the church. She looked at me and then down and I moved next to her. When she paused to speak with an acquaintance I stopped as well, unable to move from her side. When she turned to walk I was there and she was aware of it, of course, and I thought it pleased her. I hoped. "What is your name?" I asked finally, as we walked down the sidewalk. "Susan." She paused and looked at me. "I'm Rachael." I took a deep breath, my heart was pounding now and it was a chore to breathe. I worried over every step, lest I trip and appear the fool. Likewise my words, I was overly cautious and slow and she walked on. "I love you." I told her and I'd intended a whisper, I think, but it came out loudly, and ugly to my ears and I cringed at the sound of my voice. She stopped then and turned to me. It was evening and dark and it was by lamplight that I saw her face, seeming sad somehow, or confused perhaps. "I don't know what you mean." Her voice was distant. I put my hand on her then, on her arm just below her elbow, our first touch. "You've never been in love?" I asked her and she shook her head. "Please," I begged her, "come with me, to my apartments." "I've never done such a thing." She smiled faintly and her chin dipped slightly. "I wouldn't know how." "I will show you." I whispered and dared closer, moving my hand now from her arm to her waist. "I am in love with you." She was taller than I by several inches and I looked up into her shadowed face. We were close now, so close it was overwhelming me. I put my other hand on her hip, so that we stood like lovers in the moonlight, and I swallowed nervously, waiting and hoping. Her arms hung limply, she made no movement to embrace me, or step away. There was no sign of her opinion but a deep and ragged sigh. "Alright." She said so softly I might have imagined it. I felt my heart swelling, growing so large that it engulfed me entirely and I flushed with heat. There are no words to suffice that expression of my soul, that eternal second when all things become possible. I took her hand, forcing myself to be patient, to move slowly as we made our way to my home. We did not speak. I was fearful to give her the opportunity to change her mind, and she...I believe she was content to be led. Curious perhaps, desirous of something unexpected. I didn't yet know her, I didn't understand her yet, she was a mystery in which I was caught. The silence was almost suffocating and it fed my fears, but her hand in mine was a reassurance and it kept me safely on our path. I was staying then in an old Victorian house, remodeled, with separate apartments upstairs and down. I led her up the old and creaking stairs, dimly lit and cold, unlocking my door to the warmth and congenial atmosphere of my rooms. There was a sitting room, a small kitchen/dining room, a bedroom with a bath, and several closets, in unlikely places. The walls were salmon and red floral wallpaper, the floor a golden hardwood, with rough bright oriental carpets. Rosewood furniture, soft lamps of brass, and books and papers, reproductions of Monet and Pollack, my collection of ivory figures, humans, gods and monsters, animals collected from my travels. Japanese dolls in porcelain, and lace curtains from India, bold and beautiful silk screens. It was a cluttered, lived in place, collected and full of happy memories. Susan looked at it all, smiling and nodding. She saw my small Bonsai, cultivated carefully for many years, exquisite and fragile. I showed her my violin, an investment of many years that rarely satisfied the senses, but my heart would fly upon it's strings. I showed her everything, I had so few visitors. "You are the first." I told her. "I do not invite people into my home, it is something I cannot share." I put my arms around her. "It is something I must give entirely." I was staring into her eyes, seeing them for the first time in that soft light. Brown flecked with gold, seeming to pierce me, exposing all of my secrets. "Do you want to kiss me?" She asked and I felt the first tentative touch of her fingers upon my bare skin, just there on my shoulder. I slid my hand along her back, upward to the nape of her neck. Her skin was soft and warm, damp with perspiration and her hair fell over my fingers as I pulled her mouth to mine. We kissed then, standing like that, our bodies still and unmoving. Even our tongues, between gently parted lips, moved languid and leisurely, just touching and tasting. It was the most wonderful experience. I would have traded every memory in my life should it be necessary to remember only that one kiss. I had two pieces of furniture then, in my sitting room, an antique chaise lounge of mahogany, soft and large enough for us both. And a leather sofa, that was cool and sticky to damp flesh. I had covered it with bolts of rough Egyptian linen, faded khaki and a warm shade of mustard that I'd intended once for skirts and blouses and slacks. But it was to neither of these that we moved, instead Susan and I knelt slowly in the center of that chaotic life once lived, and let our bodies entangle gracefully. "Have you never been in love, Susan?" I asked, with her head on my shoulder, her breath on my face as we lay together. We were still clothed, our skirts askew and ridden high, with our leg scissored comfortably. Her blazer still over her shoulders, but pulled back so it bunched beneath her. She had one arm between us and the other traced the hollow of my throat. My own hand was on her shoulder, cradling her to me, while the other explored that tender swell of her abdomen. "Never before." She sighed. "What of this?" I smiled at her, touching her belly. "I desired a child." She moved closer and her thigh rubbed between mine. "I found some men, some fellows where I work, and I invited them to my house one evening. I served them dinner and wine and I told them I had no feelings for them, for anyone. To have said such a thing to one person, alone, would have been impossible, but they were together, do you see? And I drew my strength from their numbers. I told them that I wanted a child, but it wasn't necessary to know whom the father was. In fact, I did not want to know, I said. I would have them make love to me, as many times as they wished during the night. My only condition was that I was blindfolded, and they must not speak, or otherwise give away their identities. I did not want to know which of them was first, or which was last, or which had taken me twice and another only once." I kissed Susan's lips softly, urging her to continue as her story was exciting me terribly. "I was a virgin then, nearly 4 months ago now, having never loved another, or given myself in lust or casual desire. I was blindfolded as I'd requested, and furthermore I was bound, hand and foot to my bed. I didn't object to this rough treatment, for they were gentle and even considerate, but for this, one of them told me, I was to be tied. It was a rape, if not in purpose then in deed. I agreed to that sentiment, to being raped although I had not considered it such in the beginning. There were six of them, and the first was painful, much more so than I'd been led to expect in the idle chatter of my female companions. But perhaps they'd forgotten the first, though I don't think it should be possible. I will never forget him." "I have never had sex with a man." I whispered. Susan continued, pressing a finger to my lips. "Then you are lucky, and unlucky both, for it is our purpose you know. Do you not feel it, Rachael? The emptiness inside, when it is late and you cannot sleep, but only turn this way and that, uncomfortable because the bed is too soft, or the pillow too hard, although they have always been fine before. I felt it. I would press my hand to my belly, just here, and feel nothing." She touched me, pushing her fingers into the softness of my tummy, just above my pubis mound. I tried to imagine the emptiness she described, but in truth I had never had the sensation. It made me sad, as though I were imperfect and I was loath to admit it to her. "They took me that night, all of them many times. I wept a little, I think, because a part of me did not want this thing. I've never felt the need for anyone, even as a child I was uncomfortable with my parents and their constant touches and attentions. For many years the thought of a man - of doing that thing - was repulsive to me and I would feel ill at the thought of it. But the yearning for a child, to be a woman complete was too powerful eventually. I felt no pleasure during the night, only pain, although I was certain the men did not share in it. For them it was thoroughly enjoyable and they congratulated me when it was over. They thanked me and untied me, removing my blindfold as the sun was rising. They were in a good humor while I was impeded by my loss, though of what I couldn't express. There was some part of me gone then, even as I conceived and gained something more. It is a curious balance, don't you think?" "May I see it?" I answered her. "Of course." She sat up and undressed completely as I lay there, watching. She removed her blazer and her dress, even her panties, until there was no part of Susan I couldn't inspect. Her breasts had not yet begun to produce milk, they were still ripe and firm, with small nipples that were dark and hard. The bulge in her belly was there, but only if she turned just so, otherwise it would be overlooked. Her skin was white and smooth, without blemish or scar. Between her legs was her sex, puffy and fat, with a small but thick tangle of black hair. I could discern her labia, barely visible, and the small knot of flesh which hid her clitoris. I held my breath looking at her. I reached out to touch her stomach, grazing it with my fingers and trying to discern that subtle swelling. "Kiss it for me, Rachael." She spoke softly and did not move, merely watched as I moved, placing my cheek over her pubis and touching my lips to her tummy. I could feel the heat of her against my face, the humidity of her sex rising and filling my nose with her scent. She stroked my hair, combing her fingers through it as I kissed, and then licked at her skin. "Tell me now, how do you love me, Rachael?" I had my eyes closed and her voice seemed to come from within that empty space. "I love you, the way stars love the night. They are there, always, but unseen in the brilliant exposure of the sun. That is my love; it was always here, inside me, but I had no knowledge of it. I couldn't know it existed, while I made my way from day to day and place to place. I was searching, you have no idea how desperately, looking for someone. And that need, that brilliant wanting, it did not fulfill, it only buried the truth like the sun hiding the stars. And now, tonight, I was not looking, I was not searching for anything, but I found you. I do not understand it." "Perhaps all love is accidental." She smiled down at me. "Or maybe love cannot be found. To seek it is to drive it further away. Did you ever say to yourself, `Today I shall find someone to fall in love with.' and then do precisely that? No, of course not, because to do so would invite comparison, which love cannot stand. I shall love her, if she had but this other person's smile. And I might love him, if only he were a fraction taller." Susan giggled softly and I clutched my arms around her tightly, laying my cheek to her belly. "Love is perfect." "And how is it that you, having never been in love, should understand it so completely?" I murmured. "Because now I too am in love." She lifted me and gazed into my eyes, which had grown wet suddenly. We kissed then and Susan undressed me, bathing me with her gaze as every part of me was rendered perfect.
