Even I could not believe how far I'd come. Here I was on my knees in one of the most beautiful hotels in the world, and I was about to make love to a man who those gossip magazines called the "handsomest man in the world."

I'm Gloria Malloy. My grandparents came to Dublin from the other Dublin a hundred years ago. They were farmers. My parents were farmers, I was expected to be a farmer. I also expected to be a virgin on my wedding night. That's why I was on my knees and not on my back.

It happened but not before some bumps in the road.

It started in the late 50's when I was a student at the local junior college, and the rumor was that Declan O'Rourke was coming back to Dublin for his 40th high school graduation from Dublin High School.

Of course, you've heard of Declan O'Rourke. He was the most famous actor in the whole world and according to the gossip magazines "a beautiful man." Also, every month, those magazines had a picture of him with one of the most gorgeous women in the world on his arm. A different one every month.

It was left unsaid because it was the fifties that Declan was fucking those gorgeous women.

My family knew Declan's. Our grandparents had come from Ireland together. Now, everyone knew him, and he was from our little town, which numbered in the hundreds, not the thousands.

Across the street from our house was the house where Declan was born. There was a plaque on the front porch proclaiming that this was where he was born.

The night before the high school reunion there was a private reception at the O'Rourke house. Of course, my family was invited.

My parents went to high school with him although they weren't in the same class. I'd never met him. I nearly wet my panties when I was introduced. "My God, Gloria, you're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen." See what I mean?

Now, I'm not one to judge and certainly not myself. I'm 5'10" with long legs. I don't think my breasts are all that big, but they do stand out. They stand out because my chest is covered with freckles except for those breasts which are the purest white.

Which brings me to this. No one has seen my breasts or any other part of me. The closest is at the lake in the summer when I'm wearing my one-piece swim suit.

Sure, boys have tried. That's what boys do, but as soon as a boy's hand touched my breast, I pushed it away. As soon as a boy put his hand on my knee, I pushed it away.

The one other thing you probably want to know is that I'm a redhead. Of course, I am. My roots are in Ireland. It's not something that anyone talked about back then and I was raised to be lady, but when I say I'm a redhead, I'm a real redhead, if you know what I mean.

As far as I knew girls didn't do any grooming or anything like that back then, but I will say that I used a razor and scissors in the summer when I wore that swimsuit.

That brings me back to that reunion weekend. There was a buzz in town about Declan O'Rourke's appearance. It died down after that weekend, but the following Wednesday, a letter was hand-delivered to me at Douglas County Junior College in Omaha.

"Dear Gloria: Have dinner with me tonight at the Cornhusker Hotel, 6 PM. -Declan"

The Cornhusker Hotel. WOW!!!! There wasn't a finer hotel in all of the Midwest except Chicago.

My heart was pounding as I scribbled a note: "Yes, thank you. See you at
