Evolution - Part 2 by hermangold1970@gmx.com evolutionnovella.blogspot.com "Wow, what an evening. I can't remember the last time I felt this great. What a surfing experience ! I felt more confident today than ever before. It was almost as if my body had somehow become stronger. And dinner really hit the spot. I am however still hungry. How about you ?" "I feel exactly the same as you do, with regards to surfing and the sushi. I have a craving for a thick juicy steak, how about you ?" "That's sounds wonderful ! And, while we wait for it, you can tell me about your upcoming trip." "Ok, let me place the order." "Thank you for placing the order and paying for everything tonight. You are such a gracious friend." "No problem, it's my pleasure. Anyways, with regards to my upcoming trip, my boyfriend and I have been looking forward to this for such a long time, and we are planning on having the time of our lives during the next 30 days." "Yeah, I'm sure. I mean, not only will you have a chance to spend a lot of time together, it will also provide you with the change you have been looking for. Make sure you fill me in on the details when you get back next month." "Absolutely ! Ah, there's the doorbell. Let me get that." "My goodness, I can't remember the last time I had a steak that tasted so good, even though we have both ordered the exact same thing before." "I know. Well it's probably because we worked up such an appetite from surfing so vigorously today. Besides, that salty ocean air always stirs up one's appetite too." "Yeah, I guess you're right." "Well, will you look at the time ! I better get going. I still have to pack, and I also need to call my boyfriend and coordinate a few things. I'll call you as soon as I am back." "It's so good to see you after 30 days. I can't wait to hear about your trip, and don't leave out any of the juicy details." "Well, let me just say that to date, it has been the best experience of my life. The food, the weather, my intimate moments with him, everything was just right." "That's great. I am so happy for you. While you were gone, I got to spent more time with my boyfriend as well, and oddly enough, I felt so much more intimacy during the past month than ever before." "Well, it should be that way because we are in the prime of our lives." "I know that, but there is still something that I can't quite explain. I was in the prime of my life last month as well. The magnitude of change can't be explained by this 30 day difference." "I guess you do have a point, but why analyze things so much ? Just enjoy your life as much as you can." "I suppose you're right. After all, everything does happen for a reason. So anything else happen on your trip ?" "You know, something did, 'potentially' !" "What do you mean 'potentially' ?" "Well, I am sure this is nothing important, but my boyfriend thought that I had grown taller !" "What ?! At our age ? That's ridiculous ! I mean, I know that we are in our twenties, but I can't think of anyone who has grown an inch past 23." "That's what I told him, but he was almost certain that I had grown taller. He also mentioned that he felt that I had grown stronger !" "What did he base his second observation on ?" "He based it on our intimate moments during the trip. He said he had definitely felt a change in me during that time." "I think both can be explained rationally. Your height might have changed a little because of your change of location and climate. And his second observation was probably caused by the excitement you felt on your trip." "I guess those are both very good explanations. You're probably right. Ah heck, let's walk by the water, and I'll fill you in on the details of our trip." "Fantastic ! But before we go, let me add two more things, just to put your mind completely at ease. You don't seem any taller to me at all, not by a millimeter or an inch. Also, come stand by this wall and I will mark your height. We will check it again next month, and when you see that your height hasn't changed a bit, you can stop worrying !" "You're such a fantastic friend ! What would I do without you ? By the way, you don't have a tape measure, do you ?" "No I don't. Stop worrying for God's sake ! Grab your bikini, and let's hit the water. " "Oh, alright ! See in you in ten minutes."
