I was in the Marines for a long time, and anyone who knows about the Marines, the Marine Corps ball is a very big event. Everyone gets dressed up very formal, for basically the biggest party you’ll ever see full of flowing booze and craziness, followed by bar hopping until the sun rises. Well for a few months before our ball, I was in California for a couple of months on a training operation in the desert and it had literally been months since I’d even laid eyes on a halfway decent looking woman.

So I finally got some cell service and took a shot. I called a girl up who pretty much every guy from my home town wished he could get with. I mean her body, was something out of a movie…she was drop dead gorgeous. We’d been friends for a while because her brother who had a bad stutter, and some developmental issues would get bullied a lot, and I was bullied growing up too so I was always nice to him, which made her and I get along. I occasionally saw her after high school because her and my brother both went to Boston University, and would be at the same parties and stuff.

So anyways I call and ask if she wanted to be my date to the ball, and she said yes and almost immediately bought this sexy black dress, and I was not prepared for the weekend that was to come. She flew down, and I picked her up. Almost immediately after getting to the hotel we proceeded to have the best sex of our lives. And we did not stop unless we went out to eat, or for the ball itself, and immediately after we just went straight back to fucking. When I say we did everything, I mean everything. I honestly wanted to make it official and start a relationship because on top of the sex, we had great conversations and have had fun together for years. She wanted the same but I was still active duty and was deploying again in a couple of months. So it didn’t work out, but when I tell you the sex with her was like heroin. I still think about it all of the time. Even years later and she’d even told me she does too last time I saw her. It was amazing.
