| Fireworks By Shirley Johns After three years Catherine and Vincent have never spent a Fourth of July with each other. Both had been too busy. Catherine knew Vincent never experienced the wonders of a beautiful fireworks display. She is determined to do this and others things for him. He deserves so much but everything's so limited. "Well this year I will see that he enjoys himself." She asked "him to come to her apartment earlier than usual. She knew the fireworks started at 9:30 so she asked him come around 9:15 just as it starts to get dark. Looking at her watch, good it is only 8:30 I have time to shower and change before Vincent arrives. Being in a patriot mood last week, she brought a special nightgown for the occasion. It tied around the neck, the snug-fitting bodice cut low in the front. One side was red the other white. From the waist the blue silk fit snug and fell gracefully to the floor while the slits on either side showed a generous amount of her slender legs. Glancing one time at her reflection in the mirror, she hoped Vincent liked the way she looked and she headed for the kitchen to put on the water for tea. Going around her apartment she lit all the red, white and blue candles she had brought wanting this to be the only light surrounding she and Vincent tonight. Walking out on the balcony she began to light the candles there. She had just lit the last blue one when she heard her name "Catherine". As always the passionate way he said her name set her heart racing. Composing herself she turned around to face her love. "Vincent I have missed you." Going to her, he held her for one quick moment and than stepped back. "I have miss you as well." "You look lovely tonight Catherine." "Thank you Vincent." "Come, taking his hand, let us go inside for a little while." "We can return here later and she led him into the living room. "Vincent have a seat while I get us some tea." Vincent's eyes followed Catherine as she left the room. Mesmerized by the sight before him. Her gown clung to her showing slender curves and a well-rounded bottom. Her bare back looked as smooth as satin. Feeling desire begin to consume him, he went outside on the balcony. Leaning on the wall, he looked out into the city gaining control over his emotions. When Catherine returned she saw that he had went outside. Lying down the tray, she went to the balcony doors and stopped. Vincent was wearing a thinner shirt tonight and the lights of the city silhouetted the upper portion of his body. She could see his bulging biceps; his muscular back and his trim waist. She has never seen him without a shirt so this was a treat for her. Looking further down, by the way he was standing she was able to get a very good look at his trim hips and muscular legs. He is one magnificent man. Oh the pleasures we could enjoy. Scolding herself, "I must stop these thoughts Vincent does not share them with me." Without turning around he said "Catherine I do share these thoughts with you." I do not know what to do when they enter my mind." "Your nearness consumes we with feelings unknown to me." "These feeling are unlike anything I have ever experienced." Turning to face her, "I want to go forward in our relationship Catherine but it scares me." "I am scared that when you see me as I am, it will disappoint you and I could lose you." Walking up to him, "Vincent so far what I have seen is not disappointing at all." "I am quite pleased, placing her arms around his neck she gave him a soft kiss on the lips." She felt his arms lightly around her waist and moved a little closer. Resting her head on his chest he inhaled the wonderful scent that was Catherine. The sound of first firework broke the moment. "Catherine that sound I have heard it before what is it?" "Fireworks to celebrate the fourth of July." "Look Vincent and she turned him toward the city lights. "Look up in the sky." "I wanted you here earlier this evening so you could enjoy them with me." Putting her in front of him, he placed his arms around her holding her close and they enjoyed the fireworks display. "Catherine this is amazing." "The colors are so beautiful." Glancing up at him she could see the excitement in his eyes. It made her feel wonderful knowing that she helped put it there. When the grand finale came, Vincent was very impressed. "That was my first time seeing a fireworks show thank you Catherine. After placing a soft kiss upon her lips he stepped back. Looking down into her eyes he could see all the love and desire she had for him. Should he dare love her?" "Catherine right now I desire you very much and I can feel your desire for me as well softly caressing her back, lowering his eyes a moment not sure how to ask, returning his eyes to her gaze, may I make love to you?" "Yes Vincent you may." Going behind her head, he gently untied the top of her gown baring her to the waist. As he adored the sight before him he whispered �you are so lovely� and he gently caressed her back. Sliding her hands under his shirt, she caressed his muscular chest a few moments before taking his shirt over his head and placed the softest of a kiss there. Never taking their eyes off each other, he lifted her in his arms and carried her to the bedroom where the lovers experienced fireworks for the second time this fourth of July.
