This is the night.  The stage is set.  She is waiting for me.  I’ve been preparing for this night for what seems like my whole life.  Countless hours I have spent practicing and planning.  

Tonight’s performance will take me into adulthood.  I am nervous.  I am excited.  There are so many questions going through my mind.  Am I good enough?  Will she respond the way I want her to?  Will I have the stamina to make it all the way?  

I have played with so many other girls.  Some were easy.  Some I had to really coax to get their beautiful melody out of them.  But this one; this one is special.  The sounds she makes when I touch her excite me.  She responds magnificently to my caress.  She is beautiful.  I can’t wait to touch her smooth, ivory skin and her darker parts too; to feel her vibration under me as I stroke her.

It was all planned.  There would be moments of fast paced ecstasy with a driving rhythm.  Other times would be soft, slow and beautiful.  When I picture it in my mind it brings tears to my eyes.

The lights were low as I approached her.   There was a soft sound, like a sigh.  I ran my hands along her side then sat down to face her.  I allowed my hands to traverse the length of her body.  Was that a gasp? A smile crossed my lips.  It started slow.  We came together as one.  I played every part of her.  My body rocked as we got into it.  It was pure joy; all that I thought it would be.  My pulse was racing and excitement growing.  Everything went exactly as I imagined.  The room was filled with emotion and beautiful music.  

As we reached the ****** the crowd erupted with adulation.  It was not what they were expecting.  They came expecting to see a young man play an ordinary piano recital, put on by the local teacher, with lots of kids performing.  They received so much more.  I came to give them all I had to give, my heart and my future.  My piano and my music are my love.  This was my first solo piano recital playing professional level music.  I played for an hour.  It felt like a lifetime.  It was superb.  All my questions and doubts were answered, not only by the crowd’s response, but also by my beautiful piano.  My heart was filled.  At that moment I knew this is what I was meant to do for the rest of my life.
