When he first appeared on my screen, I thought he was just another client looking to buy time. But as we exchanged quick-witted banter, I learned that he was a cop. Interesting, I thought so I kept the conversation rolling along. I was drawn in by his quick wit and charm.
After a few hours of online chatting, he urged me to call him, but I was unsure of just what his intentions were. Curiosity got the best of me and to my surprise I found myself dialing his number the next day thinking that his voice would surely satisfy that curiosity I had. It only intensified the feeling. His laugh made me smile and the conversation was so easy. I felt my guard slipping ever so slowly away and thinking that this one just may be that person I was secretly searching for. He asked me to meet him that afternoon since he was working in my area and I agreed once again thinking that this would surely put an end to my silly schoolgirl thoughts.
I left my office with little hesitation that afternoon. I pulled in to the place that we agreed to meet and was pleasantly surprised at just how cute he was. The conversation was easy and I decided to just go ahead and ask what it was that he was wanting from me, knowing that he was aware of my night job, I thought surely this would be it. No such luck on my part, his brutal honesty about being in a long-term relationship that was heading south did trip me up a bit. Thinking all right, now we have the sob story about the terrible home life we are going to get down to it, but it was almost the opposite. Maybe it was the way he put himself out there that made me hear him out, or the twinkle in his eye, or just me wanting to believe in someone good after all this time. I listened. I knew I was in for a ride as he drew me in, but I couldn't stop myself from getting in. We decided to meet up after he was off duty. I wondered on my way home what it was that was different about this "one" that had me from hello.
