She Makes Me Feel So Right

It had turned into a journal in which he let his thoughts run free while at the same time he meticulously wrote up every conversation and every meeting, as well as all the research he was doing.

Twenty-five years ago today:

June 20, 1985
Thursday

This morning my section had a meeting. Steph happened to mention that someone had been making calls to France on our telephone lines in the Demo room. I did not say one word. She didn’t confront me personally, so I thought I’d wait until that happened. It was bound to happen. I was a bit nervous.
I had to talk to Dale about it.

Dale gave me a good pep and prep talk. It was a good role play work over. Now I know what I will say when I am confronted.

Work was good. I had some key sales results.

Rachelle calls me a lot at work. I guess she doesn’t understand that ‘I do work’ there! I love when she calls but ‘shit’…I wish she’d let me do the calling when I am at the workplace. Then again…she never answers her phone when I call.

Helen called me and tomorrow I will accompany her to her jeweler. I may get Rachelle a ring. I am very indecisive about doing so. Does she deserve it? She used to treat me so sweet and now she acts mean and domineering. It bugs me. I wonder how long our relationship will last.

After work I went home and went upstairs to my bedroom. I was really surprised to see Rachelle lying there on my bed with my white terry cloth robe on! It was a great feeling. It is times like that which make me realize how much I truly love this girl. We made love and she makes me feel so right.

Of course, we also had a fight. I don’t remember what it was about, so it must have been a little nothing. We have decided to get married come July 1986. It’s tentative but we both sort of admitted and agreed to an engagement.


"It was about being with someone who really, really enjoys you, makes you feel good about yourself."
The secret to being a good lover is that, A, knowing you're not in this alone, and, B, once you get that established?
Sometimes you can pleasure the other person most by pleasuring yourself.
