The next day was the day
before the wedding, and Billy went by to pick up Linda about ten o'clock and
they headed out to their new home.
On the way out there Linda
put her arm around his shoulder, and once again straddled the gear shift. This
made it a little difficult for him to shift gears and in doing so his hand kept
rubbing her leg. This had him a little flustered and then his hand slipped and
touched her somewhere above the knee.
She teased him saying, “You
are getting a little ahead of yourself aren't you? The wedding isn't until
tomorrow.” He didn't have a quick retort
for that one, after what seemed to be quite a long time he said, “If that is
the case maybe you better sit over on the other side of the seat.” She just laughed and said, “Maybe I had,” but
she didn't move over.
They arrived at the house and
went inside, and a couple of men were finishing the painting and were almost
done. Billy said, “I hope the colors are
okay for I didn't have time to talk it over with you. Your mother helped me
pick out these colors and said she had some beautiful material that would go
with them for curtains.” Linda said, “My mother has good taste and I know what
she had in mind.”
Linda had an idea what kind
of rugs she wanted so armed with that information they headed for lunch. On the way back to town she began to talk
about the wedding and reception. She said, “We should slip out as soon as
practical and be on our way to our first stop.”
Billy wanted to stop the
conversation right there for it was going where he didn't feel comfortable
talking. She went right ahead and plunged right into the wedding night and
Billy began to sweat. She talked about
things Billy would not have dared to discuss with his men friends. Things he
never heard of.
She never let up and it made
him wonder where she had learned about all this stuff. Stuff was the best way
he could describe it. Then she said something that took his breath. She said we are not going to waste months or years
waiting to experience a mutually satisfying relationship.
With out hesitation Linda
said, “Husbands and wives should be able to talk and learn together and not be
embarrassed about anything.”

He then realized that this
wasn't the shy little girl he had asked to marry him.
This was a grown woman and he
better get used to her. He wanted to ask
her where she learned all this stuff, but was too embarrassed to do so and
besides she might ask him why he didn't already know the things she was talking
about.
They arrived at the diner and
ordered some food. Billy was quiet and said very little, and she taking his
lead said very little also.
They went back to the car and
on the way to her house she told him all these things we discussed is only a
theory at this point, but starting tomorrow we will test them out.
Billy dropped her off and went
home for a couple of hours until it was time to go back to Linda's house for
dinner. There he sat, thinking about all he had heard from Linda.
Each and most everything she
had said, he concluded after getting over his shock; didn't sound too bad.
