I've been browsing the Craigslist ads for the past few months, when I found what I was looking for. The ad read:
"White Dominant Female, 46 years old, is looking for a willing older sub male to play with sexually. Race doesn't matter. Experience is not required, but desire and your PG pictures are. Put the word 'Kneeling' in your subject line."
This is exactly what I wanted for a long time. I tried looking for a Domme for the longest time, with no success. I even tried with my own ad, but it only resulted in some bot responses and a come on from the local Escort agency.
Nervously, I started to craft my response to her ad. I wanted it to be perfect. Finally, I settled with:
"Hi, my name is James, and I'm interested in your ad. I've had a desire to serve a woman like you for as long as I can remember, but I've never acted on it. I'm older than you, 56 to be exact. I'm 6'2", 195 lbs. and in decent shape. I would love to serve you. If you'd like, I could meet you in a public place to dispel any concerns you may have. To be honest, I'm a bit nervous, and I would appreciate the public meeting as well.
Per your request, I added a face pic."
For the next few days, I've checked my e-mail over a dozen times to see if she answered my message. Finally, I got a response:
"James, I'm interested, but not convinced. As you can imagine, I got dozens of responses, most of which said, "Let's hook up", or "Wanna fuck." They also sent pics of their genitals, which they thought would impress me.
So, merely due to the fact that you actually read my ad, and you seem to have at least a passing knowledge of English grammar, you're officially at the top of my list.
You will meet me at EveillΓ© Coffee Shop at 5:00 p.m. this Thursday. Wear a pink shirt, buy one if you don't have one already. Buy two coffees. I take mine with two sugars and no cream, and wait for me. My name is Trish."
After reading her message a few times, I went shopping for a pink shirt. I like non-descript clothes, and I never had a pink shirt before. I considered if I should wear my pink shirt to work, or to find a restroom after work to change. Since I didn't want to draw attention to myself, I decided to wear a plaid shirt to work, and to change at a nearby McDonald's.
On Thursday, I spent the day fretting over my meeting with Trish. My concern must've been obvious since Nancy, my busybody coworker, asked, "Jim, is something wrong? You look preoccupied."
"No, I'm fine," I said, trying to put on my best smile. "I think maybe I'm coming down with something, but I'm fine."
She looked at me for a few moments, when she relented. "Ok. It just that the last time you looked like that is when we threatened to fix you up with that woman in Accounting." She continued with a laugh, "You're not catting around, are you?"
"I wish," I said, "Just another boring night for me."
"Maybe what you need is to get out a little," Nancy said, "We're going for po-boys at the new EveillΓ© Coffee Shop for lunch. Wanna come?"
I felt the blood drain from my face as I quickly said, "No, I think I'll just eat at my desk again. I don't think I'd be good company today."
Nancy shrugged. "Have it your way. It's your loss." She turned, and walked away.
I let out a breath, and went back to work. I had a hard time concentrating for the rest of the day. I felt like my chest would explode; my heart was beating so fast. Finally, I decided to leave early at 4:00 p.m. Nancy, bless her soul, saw me and said "I guess you really are sick; you never leave early."
"Yeah," I said, "I just don't feel so good. I think I'll go home, brew a cup of tea, and lay down."
I rushed to the parking lot, and headed to the nearest McDonald's. As I neared, I hesitated to go inside. I thought it would be too obvious to go in there and change shirts, so I rushed home to Metairie, changed, and rushed back to Magazine Street. In a feat in itself, I finally found a parking spot, and walked into the coffee shop with less than five minutes to spare.
I was sweating profusely as I walked inside. I was wiping my hands on my pants when the black woman behind the counter asked for my order. "Two coffees, please. One with two sugars, and I like mine black."
"I bet you do," she cracked, as she poured two coffees, and pointed to the sugar on a shelf to the side. "You can add sugar over there, honey," she said. I paid, fixed Trish's coffee, and looked for an out of the way table. Fortunately, the cafΓ© was mostly deserted, so I didn't have to worry about us being overheard.
I sipped my coffee nervously, glancing at my watch every few minutes. It was obvious that I was waiting for someone. Finally, five minutes after five, a pretty brunette woman walked in, and glanced around the shop, obviously looking for someone. I froze as I couldn't decide if I should stand up, and invite her over to my table, or to let her spot me in my pink shirt, and come over on her own. As I was about to man up, and invite her over, she found who she was looking for. It wasn't me. She rushed to another table and hugged the woman seated there. 'Damn, I'm such a goober,' I thought, as I watch the exchange.
As the minutes ticked by, the more nervous I became, and I began to sweat profusely. I could almost hear her remonstration; "I didn't see anyone in a pink shirt, it was so wet, it looked red." Ten minutes later, I figured I'd been played for a fool. I was wondering how long I should stay when an attractive woman, in a red and black dress, entered the coffee shop, looked straight at me, walked over, and sat down.
"Hi, James," she said, "Nice to meet you." She stuck out her hand, and I shook it. She smiled, looked at me with piercing eyes, and continued. "You're hands are sweaty. You're nervous?"
