G and I had been chat buddies for years. We started on blackplanet and stayed connected through several social networks and message boards.
Our relationship started with friendly discussions about books, music and other things. She had two cute daughters and loved to tell me stories about how bad they were.
We exchanged photos--she was a dark-skinned beauty with curly natural hair and a beautiful smile--but we kept it friendly enough, only slipping up and flirting occasionally.
One morning at 2 a.m., G sent me a mirror pic of herself wearing only panties and covering her breasts with one arm. Our chats got really nasty after that.
Because we were getting hot for each other, we began exchanging nude photos. I fell in love with her chocolate nipples, and she told me how delicious she thought my dick was. We made plans to meet up.
After a while, it happened. G came to my city, and we spent a Saturday night club hopping. But she'd come down with her homegirls, and they weren't about to let her run off with a random internet man the first time she met him. Plus, she was in a situation with some guy back home. Timing against us, we committed to seeing each other next lifetime.
Despite our first meeting, we kept in touch. Added each other on Facebook, where I saw she'd had another little chocolate clone of herself.
We exchanged inside jokes on Myspace, where she never left my top 8, even when I had a girl. We had breathy nights on the phone together, challenging ourselves to have normal conversations while simultaneously stroking ourselves to climax.
Then, the stars aligned. I got a decent job and started making money. G finished college and moved into a new apartment. Neither of us was attached. I called her the night I had the idea. "G," I said, "Let's get together. I'll come to your city for the weekend."
"That sounds so fucking good," she said, and we planned it out. A couple months later, I'd printed off directions from mapquest and made the 6-hour drive to her city. I pulled up to the address she gave me, a cute little townhouse, and called her.
"Bad news," G said and sounded actually sad. "I can't find anyone to keep my girls."
She told me she'd set up a babysitting arrangement with the girls' fathers, but they all fell through. Her mom, usually her fallback, had a goddamn date. And none of her cousins were willing.
