The first time I met her, I REALLY didn't like her. My wife REALLY liked her though. I trusted my instincts as my perceptions of people at first meeting are normally pretty dead on. Little did I know that in less than 7 years, every spare moment of my thoughts were plagued with desire to see her, to smell her, to furtively brush against her hand in passing. My chest heaved, my stomach tightened and my hands shook every time I saw her.

I was confonuded on several levels. First and foremost, my gut instincts were 100% off. I NEVER get somebody that wrong. How could someone who gave me such a negative vibe the first time I met her so totally consume my thoughts. My second problem was much more easily identifiable.....she was one of my wife's best friends. Her husband was one of mine......and none of that....I mean NONE OF THAT MATTERED TO ME.

I was willing to risk everything if the opportunity ever arose to act on my feelings, but she had never indicated or telegraphed any mutual feelings. I was committed, but how could I find out if she was?



END PART 1.

I've got a lot more I can write as this story has been brewing in my mind for a VERY LONG TIME, but I'm not really sure if an adulterous fantasy is OK for this board. Lemmie know.
