After spending many months alone with pretty much no one to talk to outside of the loveless marriage, her family and a few shallow friends. Joseph Always had surface conversations but nothing ever serious. Losing his college friends due to becoming, an adult, having a career, getting married with a kid, didn't leave time to make new friends.
Joseph downloaded Kik to join in group chat with new people. Maybe find some friends to chat with. Venturing in nerd and geek chats, he was able to find like-minded people. Discovered some new nerdy books or shows he will watch eventually.
Moving from chat room to chat room, finding someone to chat with but nothing serious. He was getting in the same rut, never finding someone with similar tastes or views.
Joseph was feeling more and more a loner just like in the real world. Invited to a group chat he was leading a group chat and this woman caught his attention. Nothing special at first, he had talked to women before and usually they were nice but never kept his attention or they flocked to another person when he bored them with his nerdom. However, Ginny caught his eye, something in her attitude, the attention she was giving him. He would make a joke, she laughed. She would quote a movie and he would finish or reference the movie. He would make a meta joke and she would get it. They exchanged info and they continued to talk in private.
Learning more and more about each other. Both in loveless marriages. Both with kids. Both finding they were attracted to each other mentally and physically. Talking day and night, both feeling that their work lives were suffering but they felt like a couple of teens in love for the first time. They knew they were. They fought it at first because of the physical distance between them. Joseph from California and Ginny in Indiana.
Joseph had only ever loved one woman and then another with the birth of his daughter. However, this sassy red head had stolen his heart and for the first time in years, he was happy. Ginny had told him the same. Her first marriage didn't end well and there was no love, she was young and confused. He second marriage to a man that treated her right and she loved him for that. Now Joseph was all she thought about.
This went on for months, until they couldn't take it anymore and decided to meet in person. These teenagers at heart knew it was a mistake but they not only desired each other but also needed each other. Joseph booked a flight from Los Angeles, California to Indianapolis, Indiana for a long weekend trip and Ginny took time off from work and got a babysitter for the kids for the weekend. This trip was to be memorable and the most dangerous thing either of them had done in their lives. Traveling across country to meet someone from the internet.
Joseph got to the airport bright and early for a 6am flight. With his flight taking up a good chunk of his day, he slept on the plane as much as he could knowing he would need his rest when he landed. Both had been tested before meeting up. Teenagers in love but still adults and wanted no unwanted surprises and nothing between them when they met.
Landing, he grabbed all his gear and practically jumped off the plane. Truing his best to keep his cool until seeing his love. Walking to the baggage claim area, he could see his tall red head Hoosier eagerly looking for her dark haired Californian. They ran to each other and held each other tightly. Doing their best not to rip the clothes off each other. Sharing a closed mouth kiss. Both thrilled to be gazing at their out of state loves.
