C. February 4 Sexual Encounter and Subsequent Phone Calls

On Sunday, February 4, according to Ms. Lewinsky, she and the President had their sixth sexual encounter and their first lengthy and personal conversation. The President was in the Oval Office from 3:36 to 7:05 p.m.⁽²³²⁾ He had no telephone calls in the Oval Office before 4:45 p.m.⁽²³³⁾ Records do not show Ms. Lewinsky's entry or exit.

According to Ms. Lewinsky, the President telephoned her at her desk and they planned their rendezvous. At her suggestion, they bumped into each other in the hallway, "because when it happened accidentally, that seemed to work really well," then walked together to the area of the private study.⁽²³⁴⁾

There, according to Ms. Lewinsky, they kissed. She was wearing a long dress that buttoned from the neck to the ankles. "And he unbuttoned my dress and he unhooked my bra, and sort of took the dress off my shoulders and . . . moved the bra . . . . [H]e was looking at me and touching me and telling me how beautiful I was."⁽²³⁵⁾ He touched her breasts with his hands and his mouth, and touched her genitals, first through underwear and then directly.⁽²³⁶⁾ She performed oral sex on him.⁽²³⁷⁾

After their sexual encounter, the President and Ms. Lewinsky sat and talked in the Oval Office for about 45 minutes. Ms. Lewinsky thought the President might be responding to her suggestion during their previous meeting about "trying to get to know me."⁽²³⁸⁾ It was during that conversation on February 4, according to Ms. Lewinsky, that their friendship started to blossom.⁽²³⁹⁾

When she prepared to depart, according to Ms. Lewinsky, the President "kissed my arm and told me he'd call me, and then I said, yeah, well, what's my phone number? And so he recited both my home number and my office number off the top of his head."⁽²⁴⁰⁾ The President called her at her desk later that afternoon and said he had enjoyed their time together.⁽²⁴¹⁾
