The words on his profile intrigued me and I had to reach out. This began my online love affair with him.
It all started with exchanging easy "getting to know you" emails. I started looking forward to each time I had a notification, a huge smile would light up my face. After a couple of weeks and many emails back and forth, we decided to have our first phone call. That first phone call ended up being many hours long. We laughed and we flirted. We discussed all of the taboo subjects: politics, religion, family issues, sexual preferences, everything. The butterflies only grew and I couldn't get enough of talking to him. Each time we wrote to each other or I heard his deep, sexy voice I fell harder and deeper for him.
It was time to finally meet up in person. I was terrified and thrilled all at the same time. What if this was all just a fun fantasy and it fell flat in person? What if the connection was not felt in person? I pushed all of these fears aside and we decided to meet up at a local cafe.
I'm so nervous but I take a deep breath, and walk in.
I look for my date and there he is, already his eyes are pinned on me. My heart is beating very fast. There is this powerful authority radiating off of him and I swear my feet never move, however I'm now in front of him.
He stands and hugs me so tightly. Did he just smell me? I don't think my heart can beat any faster. He pulls my chair out and I take a seat. When he sits across from me, his gaze is smoldering into me. I'm already blushing and nothing has been said.
He starts, "I'm so glad you decided to come meet me. You're even more pretty and adorable than I thought you'd be."
Now I am blushing even harder and I try to find words for this strong, confident man in front of me.
"I'm happy too. I've loved getting to know you online."
We sit there staring at each other for a few heartbeats and I can feel desire rolling off both of us.
He takes my hands in his and my body almost bursts into flames. We order some coffee and I am so nervous. He is staring into my soul. I try to make light conversation, which feels odd because of all our intimate conversations up to this point.
