The Fantasy of Lust, Adventure of Dreams.

A lot of people enjoy taking walks and daydreaming. I am among those individuals. I used to take long walks as a child to decompress, and I still enjoy doing it now. I can't help but wonder that other people have lives of their own when I see them driving around.

It was the summer of 1995, and I was Tired of life and just wanted to have fun. I couldn't have loved that year more because it was the year I learned to be free.

Hitchhiking is risky, according to some, but I've learned that you might run into some fascinating people. I was really shocked to find myself where I ended up one day after simply getting my bags and starting my journey.

I recently received a sizable settlement from a business. I was therefore going over things that I needed to get off my mind.

As I was just leaving to pursue my dream or explore the world, I simply stepped onto the freeway and began to explore.

A man asked me if I needed a ride as a car pulled up to me. I gave him a look and said, "Yes, thank you." You can imagine the rush of emotions I was experiencing because I had never done anything like this before.

I then asked, "Where are you going, Mr." He said, "I'm driving to Oklahoma," with a smile. "Oh wow," I exclaimed.

When he asked what my name was, I said, "My name is Star. What is yours?" When I saw his stunning green eyes, he replied, "My name is Damien." I said, "It's nice to meet you, Damien. "The fact that I was getting along so well with a complete stranger I had never met astounded me.

I said no when he asked if I was married, and then I inquired, "How about you?" He said, yes, I am." I didn't care if he was married. All I wanted was company. I then inquired to where your wife at. She at home, he replied. I couldn't take my eyes off his good looks. His bearded face was flawless, and his body was incredibly hot.

My only thought was whether or not I should have sex with him. My mind was telling me that he was married, but my body was saying I don't care. However, I continued to converse with him until we had a meal and arrived at a picturesque lake. I took the initiative to approach him after my body gave in. I was just looking for an adventure while I was away from home.

Sex was great while it lasted with Damien. He dropped me off in the nearest city. I started to walk when I saw a homeless man camping. So, he called me, and I wasn't scared of approaching him.

I then inquired, "Do you reside here?" Yes, I do, he said. The man had no scent at all. "Why do you live here?" I asked him. When I inquired about his name, he said that it was Paul. My name is Star. When he inquired about my hunger, I said, "No, Paul, are you?" He must have believed I hadn't eaten since he saw me carrying my bags.

But it was kind of sweet to ask me. He asked me if I wanted to spend the night with him because it was getting late and it would soon be dark. I thus agreed to the offer. I told him that I didn't feel free of myself when he asked me why I was running away. He claimed to understand the emotion. Well, it was morning, and I told Paul goodbye and a big hug, and I started to walk away.

When I came upon this lovely house. The sight of a family home in front of the motorway was simply stunning.

I waved at a man who was mowing the lawn in a tractor, and he returned the gesture. When he asked if I was lost, I replied, "No," laughing. I'm simply following the path that nature leads me.

Thus, I continued to move until I finally arrived in a large city. I was both apprehensive and thrilled that I had arrived in such a large city.

In this large city, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I was perplexed after witnessing all the families strolling at night. People here are awake as if it were morning, while everyone else where I live are asleep at night.

I made the decision to check out the city's offerings after realizing how lovely it was. When I ran into a man who struck up a conversation with me, I ended up getting something to eat. When he inquired about my origins, I said, "I'm from another place and time." He asked if I had a hotel room yet after noticing that I had bags. "Not yet," I said.

I then asked the man what his name was. His name was Phil, he told me in response. I said, "My name is Star." He said, "Nice to meet you, Star." After learning that Phil lived in that city put a smile on my face.

After deciding to take my belongings to Phil's place, we took a long walk. Phil began to tell some historical tales about the city. As if I knew him, I was listening to what this man had to say. I didn't want the evening to end because his stories were so beautiful. I wanted to know how long Phil had lived in Oklahoma. "I've lived there forever," he replied. He also inquired as to why I was fleeing. I just responded because I needed to breathe and because I felt trapped. I just wanted to scream in my hometown because it felt like every wall were closed off to me. He replied I know how that feels.

I just went for a fantastic nighttime stroll with Phil. When he expressed his desire for me, I replied I would have accepted your offer if we had met when I felt stuck. Even though I'm only passing through, I'm delighted to have met you.

We eventually returned to Phil's house, where I occupied his bedroom, and he took the Coutch. I summoned Phil to join me in the room. After he joined me, I had a magical evening. One thing that I will always have in Oklahoma would be Phil.

We didn't do much sleeping nor talking after that. We just enjoyed each other company as much as we could.

He offered me breakfast before I left when the morning finally arrived. I told him it was okay. So, I decided to prepare breakfast for him.

We ended up having one final shower together before I left, and Phil gave me a final kiss and an invitation to stay one more time, which I kissed him with a simple "By Phil."

A semi-trailer approached me and asked if I needed a ride. "Why yes, sir," I said. "Where are you heading?" he asked. Wherever you're going, I said. Both of us burst out laughing. I got into his trailer, and we drove away.

I was overjoyed as we touched down in Florida. Florida was a place I had never visited. But I felt so alive and free. What more could I have asked for.

I began to simply freak as I looked back. Florida is where I am. It's really beautiful.

When I asked the man his name, he said, "Blake." My name is Star. "Nice to meet you," he said.

I'm grateful that he gave me a lift. He smiled pleasantly at me. I then asked him why do you come to Florida. He answered that's where I work. You drive a truck, I asked. Why did you offer to give me a ride Mr.? "I saw you walking and I needed someone to go with me for a ride," he replied. I didn't wish to ride by myself. Star, is that okay with you? I said, "Of course it is," as I turned to face Blake.

Tell me, Blake, have you ever visited Florida? "Of course," he said. This is where I reside. "No way," Blake said. "Yes,"

Blake, are you married? I wanted to spend time with him, so I hoped he would say no. I'm not when he said no. I felt so overwhelmed. "What about you?" he asked. Are you wed? "I don't think you are," he said.

What makes you think I'm not Blake. You wouldn't be accepting rides from strangers. So, I laughed and said you are correct. After you drop off the load, I asked Blake where are you heading to. I was wondering if you would like to join me somewhere so we could eat and possibly hang out, he said.

I quickly came to terms with it. I had the impression that I was in a film. As though I had just met my prince and wanted him to show me the world.

We strolled and learned things from one another. When he took a hold of my hand, I experienced emotions I had never experienced with anyone before. So, we went dancing he was a great dancer.

At this point I didn't care where we went dancing just as long as I was with him.

Blake and I danced all night, and he kissed me all night long. It was the perfect time to call it a night. The strange part was It wasn't even a date, which was the wired part. We spent the entire night together.

Blake asked me to accompany him and make another load the following morning. I said "yes" very quickly.

Driving to our destination was a lot of fun. I questioned Blake about his single status. He never found the right woman, so he responded. He smiled, though, and said, "I think I just found her."

I smiled and started to blush. Really, I answered. Yes, he said. after we returned from his job. We went to his motel room that he got for the both of us. I had to put on some lingerie and reveal my true self to him. I couldn't get Blake to stop staring at my body.

I was thinking about what life might be like without him while he was kissing my body. All of a sudden, I saw how crazy I was for this man.

Blake was a fantastic lover, so I was curious as to how and why he was unmarried. But I just wanted to live in the moment.

When Blake proposed to me. I said, "OMG, yes." Did I actually experience this? In my hometown, I felt like an outsider. Here in Florida, I felt alive.

We got married in the closest courthouse because neither of us wanted to wait any longer. In that movement, Blake had made me the happiest woman alive. Why did it have to take another state to finally found love.

After a few years, Blake came home and informed me of the situation. They discovered prostate cancer during one of his examinations.

I kept crying in the hopes that he would be alright. He keeps putting distance between us, and I wasn't sure how to support him.

At last, I gave him the space he required. I returned to my hometown by plane. I was notified via phone that Blake had killed himself because he was unable to deal with his illness.

I was heart Broken that the love of my life was gone.

Everybody has difficult periods in life. All I wanted to do was write a fictional story to test my imagination and see if anyone would enjoy it. The second part will be written soon. Tell me how I did. Love and cherish everyone in your life because love sometimes hurts.
