It was the spring of 2003 as I sat in a chatroom on IRC. Out of nowhere, a girl named Brandy logged on. We seemed to hit it off right away and we traded self pics. When I first saw her pic, I sat there frozen because before my very eyes was a very attractive girl and I knew in my heart that I had to get to know her. A few minutes later, she told me that she was disabled. At first I honestly didn't notice for whatever reason, but I didn't care. Being disabled myself, I have bad luck being accepted by women. As for Brandy though, I found her to be very attractive and her heart seemed to be as big as mine.
Over the next few weeks and eventually months, we became closer and both found ourselves dreaming and talking about meeting each other. For when we were apart, we missed each other a great deal. At first, it seemed pretty innocent, a man and a woman drawn to each other cause we shared the same situation, but after awhile, it became based on desires and dreams.
A little while later, the two of us started getting serious and made plans to meet.
With each passing day, the day we would come together drew closer and closer. We were both getting nervous about meeting, but were very excited. The day arrived and I met Brandy at the airport. I first saw her from afar because I had to get the nerve up to go up to her.
As I drove my powered wheelchair closer, she caught my sight and we both smiled as I drove up to her. The first words out of my mouth were "Hi Brandy, I'm Ryan". She smiled back shyly and said that it was nice to meet me. I offered to carry her bags on my wooden tray, but I had a hard time seeing over them.
We had a few minutes before our ride came, so we talked for a bit. Finally being able to look into her eyes, I was awestruck by her sheer beauty. Thirty minutes go by and we got on the bus and headed to my place.
We arrived at my place about 15 minutes later and sat around chatting about the night's plans. "So Brandy, what would you like to do?". "I don't know, any ideas, Ryan?" With that I pondered, but really I knew what I wanted to do. Being dramatic, I went over to my balcony window for a minute. I turned around and looked at Brandy's smile. I looked at the floor and pondered "Hmmm my dear, I have an idea."
"What Ryan?" Brandy said with a smile.
I looked into Brandy's eyes and explained to her that the river was near by and I'd love to spend some quiet time there to watch the sunset and get to know her. With Brandy realizing that this would be a night that they'd never forget, off they went.
So off we headed to the river to spend some time together and watch the sunset. "Well here we are, Brandy, why don't we pick a spot to sit and talk?"
"Ok sweetie" she said eagerly.
We found a spot under a tree and parked our wheelchairs to watch the sunset. Brandy & I talked for hours then at one point I was caught staring at her. I looked into her eyes and told her how beautiful she was and how much I wanted to kiss her. She looked at me and moved her lips close to mine and had a faraway look in her eyes.
