Most of the graduates remember their graduation weekend warmly, with flashes reminding them how it felt to walk across the stage in cap and gown to the classic “Pomp and Circumstance”, receive gifts and flowers from a loved one, or even partying with their friends, and such memories were sufficient for most graduates. However, Rachel knew she needed something extra special to memorialize her grueling five year journey through Baylor College of Medicine, and as she sips her coffee at the terminal of Austin airport waiting to board her flight back to Houston, the flashes she is experiencing are much different than her fellow grads, because Rachel celebrated with a male companion!
Rachel chuckles to herself as she remembers how stressed, frazzled and burnt out she was just two short weeks ago. It was the last week of medical school and like every other week, there was not enough time in the day to study, plan or sleep as much as she needed to, resulting in her continual state of panic and agitation. Then, while talking with her sister, the idea hit her like a ton of bricks: “I’m going to celebrate my graduation with a male companion!” Rachel had heard her sister mention the amazing times she had with a male companion in the past and always kept it in the back of her mind for a rainy day. Well a-storm was a-coming and Rachel was ready to get wet!
It was two days before graduation when Rachel finally had a free moment to make the call. She had done her research on the website, and while wading through the seemingly never-ending scintillating photos of gorgeous cowboys strewn about the country, she honed in on a stunning gentleman in Austin, Texas. Hunter was perfect, at 6’0, 170 lbs., he was tall and lean with a chiseled, athletic body, sultry green eyes and coifed dirty blonde hair, his pictures were calling her name. Rachel was so ready to celebrate with a male companion, that she completely forgot about her parents seeing the credit card bill for this! “Oh, don’t worry about that! The charges will show up discreetly and no one will ever know”, the sweet-natured agency representative calmed her nerves and put her mind at ease, so she could return to her appropriate feelings of exuberance!
“Southwest Airlines Flight 2024 to Houston will begin boarding in approximately five minutes!” Rachel shuddered as her daydream-like flashbacks about her weekend celebrating with a male companion in Austin was harshly interrupted by the announcement, as if to remind her of the reality-based fate awaiting her back home. Instead of focusing on getting back to real life, Rachel decided to continue visualizing the weekend she just had celebrating with Hunter, her fabulous male companion. She feels a wave of heat come over her body and move down her spine, arms and legs, tingling all the way down, when she thinks about the first moment she saw Hunter standing right in front of her. “Hi there, I really hope you’re Rachel, because you’re the hottest woman I’ve ever seen at the baggage claim”, he greeted while flashing his adorably, crooked smile and reaching for her hands. Even though she had viewed his pictures about seventy-nine times in the past two days, Hunter’s handsomeness paralyzed her for a moment.
After the introductions, the two decided to break the ice by getting drinks at Whisler’s, where they loosened up and Rachel began to fully enjoy herself. Hunter was not only an Austin Adonis, he also brought real depth to the weekend and continuously reinforced Rachel’s decision to celebrate her graduation with a male companion! Hunter was well-balanced, humble yet confident, and his qualities made him the elite package. Rachel was just as eager to share stories of her life with him, as she was to hear about his Ivy league education, passion for sports and physical activities, spiritual and holistic practices and knowledge, and even about his time serving the country as a decorated soldier. Above all else, Rachel felt safe, sexy and happy with Hunter, which was the first time in eons she experienced such feelings. The weekend would remain unforgettable, and Rachel felt comfort in knowing she would always be able to revisit such intimate, steamy and special moments in her mind’s eye, memories which will be everlasting, like the drinking and dancing to local, live music at the different bars along 6th street on Friday and Saturday night with her male companion, or holding hands while walking along the city streets with Hunter speaking softly in her ear and holding her close, or the relaxing bubble baths in their hotel suite and her male companion feeding her strawberries, while they sipped on champagne brought up by room service. Rachel’s whole body shivered as she pictured herself in each of the moments with Hunter during their weekend celebration in Austin and just that minute, she decided she didn’t want to rely on memories to keep her going! She called the agency and booked another weekend celebration with a male companion for the upcoming weekend and couldn’t wait to add to her male companion memory bank!
