I wrote this short story many years ago when I help run a local BBS, it was one of the first BBS's at least in our area that had chatroom capabilities, if I remember correctly we had 6 phone lines, before that women were few and far between in the use of any BBS, before chatrooms most women couldn't understand what their husbands and boyfriends saw in the computer, after chatrooms became available, women at least the ones in my local area would kick their husbands and boyfriends off the computer so they could chat, my main job on the BBS was basically public relations, make sure the women felt safe and keep them coming back, women online made everyone happy except for a few "fucktards" I had to kick off the BBS for unacceptable behavior in pms's and in chatrooms, that was usually a last resort after pulling them into a private chat and giving them a good talking too, if they didn't pay attention then they got kicked and banned for a few day and with every new offense the ban lasted longer :) One I had a bad time with wouldn't listen at all thought that I couldn't do anything, that was until I found out he was my cousin's teenage son, and I explained to him if he didn't straighten out that instant I would call his father (my cousin) and his mother and explain to them what was going on, he became a very good boy after that, he became so good that a couple of the younger ladies got together and gave him a special present on his next birthday.
My public relations "job" on the BBS made me quite popular with the ladies that used the BBS and I used to hold an adult story time in one of the chatrooms just for the ladies, one time the love of my life (too bad she was married) came into the chatroom during story time and left very fast, I pm'd her and asked why she left, she said it was like watching me make love to all the women in chatroom, she said she was ok with me doing it but she couldn't watch :) (it has been almost 30 years now and I still love that lady and kick myself for being noble and telling her she still had feelings for her husband and I couldn't break them up). to finish of this introduction to me and the story, it was after one of these story times or before one that I saw the ladies talking about how adult stories were written just for men, so I thought about what they said and that night I wrote this short story just for the ladies and the next day I gave it to them, this story got me more real life sex and probably lead to me getting a rep as a ladies man, a horn dog, and a few other less respectable descriptions lol, if I could chat privately to a woman for an hour I could be in bed with them shortly after and it was just talk any subject, seldom about sex at least not in the first hour :) trouble was most of them were married, I was just easy to talk to and I listened to them, so guys get a clue, don't come home and sit in front of the tube and drink beer and ignore your women or some one like I used to be might come a long and make them happy at least for a little while :)
and now for the story

The Dream Starts...
He sat quietly and observed her from across the room.
She was cool, a carefully maintained curtain of non-interest surrounding her like a shield.
Their eyes meet, unvoiced questions flow across the gulf that separates them, questions that pertain only to the moment, no past or future.
He stands, walks across the room to where she is seated. He extends his hand.
She responds by taking his hand.
