                (18+)The twinkling of the stars. This magical night.



Returning home, I went into the shower and stood under the tight, cool jets of water with pleasure. Refreshed and invigorated, he went to his room. I quickly changed my clothes and put myself in order, sprinkled cologne on myself and took more money with me just in case I didn't embarrass myself in front of her. Maybe she wants to go to a cafe. There's enough for dinner. I'm not going to drink, I decided, I've had enough for today, so a glass of light wine, and a couple of glasses are probably enough for her too. We weren't going to get drunk, after all. That's obviously not why she called me. I tried not to save out of stinginess, but to have enough money for later, for further. It is still unknown how it will develop further there. So, well, it seems that's it, we can go, I decided. Into the unknown, a thought flashed. I went out onto the embankment and walked briskly along it to the pier. After the shower, I felt really refreshed, and the thought of seeing her now gave me strength. Now I can walk at least all night. Thirty minutes later I was there. I looked at my watch, it showed ten minutes to eleven. It's still early, I thought, and began to walk slowly along the pier and the concrete path leading to it from the embankment, waiting for Lena. It was completely deserted. It was the edge of the park and the end of the beach. Pleasure boats moored to the pier during the day, taking people to a nearby large port city or on boat trips. Occasionally, strolling couples appeared on the embankment and quickly disappeared into the darkness. Lanterns were lit on the pier, reflecting on the surface of the sea with bright, dancing reflections. Small waves running along the pier rolled steadily onto the shore. The pier stretched out into the sea like a long concrete ribbon, disappearing into the thick darkness. Faint sounds of music came from somewhere in the distance. It was already twenty minutes to twelve. And she still wasn't there. He probably won't come. She deceived me. I thought with annoyance, nervously lighting another cigarette. She decided to make fun of me. Well, I'll wait. A little more, I decided, not wanting to lose hope, although it was clear that she was unlikely to come already. Most likely, she decided to just have fun and make fun of me. But why ? What have I done to her? I thought with growing irritation and annoyance, nervously smoking. She is flighty and completely indifferent to me. I'm not getting anywhere with her. She just doesn't need me. So, she played with me and left. What was I hoping for? Wow, I came here like a fool in the middle of the night. And she's been having her tenth dream for a long time. And tomorrow she will laugh at me because I fell for her bait. The witch is malicious. She bewitched me. I decided to wait a little longer and go home. Time passed, and still she was not there. I was about to leave when suddenly I heard the sound of heels in the depths of the park. She, I felt a jolt inside. It was as if a warm wave covered me, and I, overjoyed beyond words, hurried to meet her and immediately saw her. She came out of the darkness and, noticing me, immediately stopped, dropping a large bag on the sand. She was clearly visible in the bright electric light. She was wearing a dark, beautiful dress. An evening dress that shimmered and sparkled in the rays of the night lanterns, accentuating her figure and making her slimmer and taller. On her feet are shoes with high thin heels. 
- Ugh. I was out of breath. - She said. - I was in a hurry, I was afraid that I wouldn't find you... Well done for waiting. I barely got rid of them. - From whom, she did not explain. - Take the bag. I grabbed her bag, it turned out to be quite heavy. - They detained me. I didn't even have time to change my clothes. 
- How did you carry this weight, and even in heels?
"It's okay, it doesn't pull its own burden," Lena said. She smelled of wine. She took off her shoes and handed them to me: "Here, put them in the bag."
"Oh, it's so good," she said, flexing her toes. - I wanted to throw them off earlier, but I was afraid to hurt my leg in the dark on something sharp. I was covered with a warm wave of tenderness for her, poor thing, because she was in a hurry to get to me and dragged this bag. Oh, I thought so badly of her, I mentally scolded myself.
And, to tell the truth, I almost didn't expect to find you anymore. But you're good. I waited after all. He didn't leave. Actually, I don't like to be late. But it just so happened.
Come on, Lenochka, how could I leave. I would have waited all night just to meet you. I was so glad when I heard that you were coming and saw you.
Yes," she looked at me carefully. — He was probably angry and scolded me.
Oh, no, I wasn't mad. I was just worried. I really wanted to see you.
That's how nice it is to hear. But I left my bag at the desk, I felt that they would detain me and would not let me go so easily. We celebrated an event in a restaurant with friends. I sat on pins and needles, barely got rid of them, and then grabbed my bag and hurried here. There was no time to go up to the room. So I came to the beach in an evening dress and heels. Well, never mind, I'll change my clothes later. I brought a robe with me. Let's take a break for a while. Ugh, it's hot. I'm all wet. She said, fanning herself with a handkerchief. — So change your clothes. — Later, when we get there. I'm nothing. I understood. Where we will come, and where we should go. -- And I thought that we would go with you to any cafe or restaurant. She looked at me with a strange look, as if she were looking at some kind of idiot. And, here, me.It felt like it burned. Night. This bag, the robe. That's it.. Really. I couldn't believe it.
-- I've already been to the restaurant, looking at me mockingly.- Lena said.-- But, I didn't know Lenochka. And, you didn't tell me anything then. But, with you, I'm ready to go now, even to the ends of the earth. I'm ready to carry you even in my arms.
 -- Even so. -She said mockingly.-- Well, we probably won't go to the end of the world today. Too far, wait, a little bit. Let me catch my breath. After a while , She stood up and said decisively:
— Come on. — And walked barefoot across the sand. — I know a place here, I sometimes sunbathe there alone. No one ever goes there. We walked along the sea for quite a long time. There were no lanterns here anymore, and we walked in the dark by the light of the moon. Finally, the dark outlines of some large boats or boats appeared ahead, lying on the shore on their sides. And behind them was a high concrete wall. She led me into a narrow space between two large fishing boats, and we found ourselves in a kind of cave between their high sides, only without a ceiling. Instead, the night sky hung above us, on which the stars shone, winking at us. The longboats, heated by the hot sun rays during the day, smelled of tar and diesel fuel.
— Well, well. And how did you find this place?
— A friend showed it to me. We used to sunbathe with her here without bras. Take everything out of the bag and spread the blanket. I started to unpack the bag, and something clanked in it.
— Careful, don't break the glass. I pulled out a large bedspread and another, slightly thinner one from my bag. Spreading them out on the sand, he took out boxes of food, cups and bottles of wine, water and beer.
— You're probably hungry, you're eating. The boxes contained various sandwiches with sausage, ham, cheese, sweets, cookies, some cakes and something else. I've scored a lot. Yes, there's enough food for three days, I thought. — Do you like beer? - I asked.
— No, it's me for you. In the morning, men like to treat themselves to a beer.
Morning, I repeated to myself. She stole this food, even put beer in it, and that's it. For my sake.  I thought of her gratefully. And, it came to my throat. Some kind of warm lump. After laying out everything she brought, I sat down and lit a cigarette. She sat down next to me and we silently y a few puffs, I put out the cigarette, I didn't want to smell tobacco on me. Excitement and desire grew. The liquor worked. My stiffness and stiffness are gone. I felt like a man. She was lying on her back and silently looked at me. And then she said softly, "Come to me..." Her breasts gleamed in the moonlight. I squeezed and caressed her, feeling the fullness and elasticity of these two mind-blowing curves in my palms, gently touching them with my lips. He furiously kissed and stroked her elastic stomach, hips, caressed with his hand the delightful fluffy mound at the bottom of her lovely tummy, and could not in any way enjoy her beautiful body with soft velvety skin. The tension and frantic desire reached the limit. I was already shaking with excitement. And unable to restrain myself any longer, I pounced on her like a wild beast, merging with her into one. Feeling an indescribable bliss and seemed ready to tear her apart. "Take your time," I heard her soft, languid voice. She arched and moaned softly with pleasure, whispering: "My dear, my good..."
...Having given myself to her, I leaned back, feeling an extraordinary lightness in my whole body, it seemed to me that I was about to fly. - Lenochka, my golden one, you are just lovely. It seems to me that I'm about to take off.
- I have a feeling that delicate flowers are blooming inside me. I've never experienced such bliss before.
- I love you, Lenochka. My dear. My darling, in a fit of emotion, I whispered to her.
- God, I feel so good. Lena said enthusiastically, kissing me...
       Our passion could be compared to a huge energy that had been accumulated and held tight for a long time and suddenly broke free, turning into a rushing stream that swept away everything in its path, and nothing could hold it back and stop it. Just as nothing could stop and restrain our feelings anymore.
        It was an amazing night. It was like we were made for each other. And, I, who have not experienced the intimacy of a woman for a long time, attacked her again and again, and she only moaned softly in response, and whispered gentle and affectionate words to me.
         Then, holding hands, we lay in silence, and looked at the dark night sky, at the twinkling stars, at these distant, mysterious, mysterious and incomprehensible worlds.  - Oh, you know what, I was just thinking looking at those stars above us. - Suddenly she said. - Because the light  some stars reach us when they no longer exist, they have long been extinguished. And after a pause, she added - So, probably, someone will see us, illuminated now by moonlight, there in this endless space, when we will have been gone for a long time.  - Lenochka, what is it with you, for such gloomy thoughts. - You know, for some reason, I have a bad feeling.  - She said thoughtfully.- As if something was going to happen. And, I even felt kind of anxious about it.  Well, what can I tell you. I don't believe in all sorts of premonitions and predictions. All this is fiction. And quackery. It's just that when a person cares about something or is afraid of something, such thoughts come to him.  All this is mysticism and you don't have to wind yourself up. You care about something and that's why you have such thoughts. And you try not to think about it. And don't spoil your mood on such a wonderful night. And as for the alien aliens or whatever they are, representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations, then I think they will certainly see you, but I am unlikely. -"Why is that?" she asked in surprise.  - Yes, because you are a real star, radiating bright light.  And I'm not of any interest to them. For them, I'm just a stupid and limited type, and even an ugly one in their concept. I'm just smoking the sky for some reason. It's impossible not to notice a beauty like you. And, someone is already licking their lips, looking at you through the newest, fancy telescope. At least cover yourself with a bathrobe, otherwise some of them may go crazy looking at such beauty. They say these aliens, from other worlds, are so ugly, ugly, all blue with big heads and small puny bodies. And they don't even have such beautiful women. Cover up, cover up, otherwise they say they take such beauties for themselves to procreate and correct their ugliness.
 - Just look at him. How treacherous. She hit me jokingly with her fist. I'm talking to him seriously, about high matters. I got emotional here . I pour out my soul to him, you see. Oh, he's joking with me here, and laughing at me. - So, I told you this in love. From an excess of feelings. And, this is not a joke at all, but the true truth. You're a beauty here. Who can dispute this. And, I admire you.
- That's how it is.  Oh, are you really in love with me," she asked thoughtfully. - yes. Lenochka, very much. Since you don't see it. From the first day I saw you. Without answering me, she stared silently at the night sky.
      We lay for a long time without saying a word, looking at this very distant, incomprehensible, endless space stretching above us in the darkness of the night, looking into eternity. And we were really happy at that moment. This whole amazing, mysterious world seemed to belong only to the two of us right now.  And, we did not think then that these distant worlds, indifferently and coldly looking at us from the depths of the universe, involuntarily remind us how fleeting and short our life is, which is just a short moment, an immeasurably small and meaningless quantity in this endless icy silence. Absolutely indifferent to ours. feelings , desires and hopes. And we, living, thinking beings, with all our emotions, experiences, love, and desires, were strangers in this dead, hostile space. An anomaly, an exception to the rule. Created, it is unclear why and for what.
- And you know Lena, with your statements, you also set me up for gloomy reflections. If you look at the essence, how strange and sometimes ridiculous our lives are, and ourselves. We constantly want something, strive for something, we constantly lack something. We are constantly worried and dissatisfied with something, And some of us look ridiculous at all, imagining that they are the arbiters of fate. Trampling and exploiting others like themselves, thanks to their excessive greed, greed and thirst for power, while being terribly jealous of others who are more successful and sneaky. And they behave as if they will live for hundreds of years. And, everything is not enough for them. They don't even count money anymore, but zeros from one. Who has more of them. By accumulating wealth for yourself. They are well aware that in the end, it will not save them anyway and, in the end, it will not be necessary for them at all. So, what is the question, you have been saving all this for. For children and grandchildren. But, this is wrong. You should have taught them how to earn money themselves. And not to use someone else's goods, for free.  It seems to be the same as stealing. After all, in both cases, this is not earned money. It feels like they're just crazy. And they can't stop , they can't get enough. Pathology of some kind. The moral ugliness of perverts. They completely forgot that they are very dependent on the effects of adverse environmental factors, prone to aging and very short-lived. Like all mammals. I was carried away after I took a good sip of the bottle unnoticed by her and got pretty drunk. And he got stoned beyond measure.
- Well, you've bent it. Wow. Where did you get such thoughts from? This is worse than my reasoning about extinct stars. -- Yes, that's just me, after your liquor, I confess to you that I took a good sip of it without you noticing. When you went to rinse off.  From an excess of feelings.  So I got drunk, I was drawn to a Conversation. Although, I must say that I myself do not understand why, all of a sudden, I brought up this topic. It's like you have some kind of special liquor with a jerk. Lena laughed. -- Yes, drink if your soul asks that you hide from me. -- Well, you'll think that I'm a drunkard, some kind. - Yes, I think so. She laughed. - I hardly drink. I'm just worried about you. I'm talking nonsense. Sorry. It wasn't even worth talking about.s quiet and calm around us, and we, tired, exhausted, and happy, fell asleep soundly in each other's arms...
