Lisa is sitting at work just waiting for 5 o'clock to get here; tonight she finally gets to let Jack see how she really looks. Lisa had gone at her lunch hour and bought herself a webcam for her computer, just so he could see her when they talked.
The clock finally read 5, and Lisa cleared her desk off and walked out to her car. She drove home remembering that first night 2 months ago. She had just gotten her computer and a friend showed her how to create an account and get into the chat rooms. She was just looking to meet people with interests that matched her own, not looking for anything outside of just that.
She spent the first few nights just watching how people interacted with each other and learning the lingo in the room. She finally started talking to the people and after awhile she felt like she actually belonged with them, not as an outsider but as a friend. After a few weeks of getting to know this one woman in the room she asked Lisa if she ever went to the other chat rooms, Lisa told her she did not know of the other chat rooms. The woman showed her how to follow her and took her on a tour of the different chat rooms, some of which scared Lisa a little.
Finally the woman stopped in a room and told Lisa she should like this one, it was called Just Looking. Lisa sat in the background once again just watching, seeing that this was a more adult oriented room. She finally started getting comfortable with the crowd of people and started talking. She marked the room as one of her selected rooms, so she could find it again.
After about 3 weeks in the room she got asked by one of the guys if he could ask her a question in private, she told him sure. She gets this message from the guy asking her if she had a picture, as her profile did not show one. Lisa told him she had one, but was afraid to put it up there. He introduced himself as Jack and told her that if she ever felt like sharing it he would love to help her put it up there. She thanked him and told him her name as well, feeling more and more comfortable with Jack.
Over the next few weeks she got to know more and more about Jack, they spent hours talking in the room or just the 2 of them outside the room. She finally got brave and sent him a picture of her that her girlfriend had taken with her digital camera. She waited for what seemed hours while he went to his email to look, finally the comment she got back stunned her. All he had to say was WOW; those 3 letters made her smile more than she had in the last year.
2 weeks ago she got a message in her email at work telling her she had a surprise waiting for her that night. She email back asking what it was but the reply had only 5 words in it, "You will find out tonight." She finally got home and instantly logged into the room, but Jack was not around. She logged off and went to make dinner, knowing he would be there later and she would get to find out what her surprise was.
Lisa finally logged back on about 10 that night, knowing that Jack would be home and hopefully online. As soon as her list came up she got a message from Jack telling her he has been waiting for hours for her. Lisa smiled as she asked what her surprise was; the only response she got was an invitation to view a webcam with the message saying, "It's me." Lisa accepted the invitation and was shocked to see Jack looking back at her from her computer screen. She was totally speechless as she watched him smile and blow her a kiss. They spent the rest of the night alone in there own private world. A few times he would get up to do something and she would get to see how nice a body he had.
Lisa was surprised that Jack never asked her once if she had a webcam, of even if she was going to get one. So she deiced she was going to surprise him like he surprised her, and tonight was the night she was going to do it.
Jack logged on knowing that tonight was the night he was going to ask Lisa to actually meet him for real. He knew what town she lived and worked in, and had convinced his boss to send him to a training class that was taking place in a nearby town. When he logged on he saw her online already, and before he could even start a message up he got an invitation to view her webcam with the message "Surprise my sweet"
Jack was totally taken aback with this; he had never thought she would actually get a webcam cause of how shy she really was. When he finally got the view going he was even more shocked, she was sitting there looking even more beautiful than the picture he had gotten all those months ago. She smiled and blew him a kiss as he was getting his webcam setup for her to see him as well. They spent that night actually talking for she asked him to call her, which he so readily did.
After about 45 minutes Jack finally told Lisa he had another surprise for her, told her that he was going to be in the area in 2 weeks. Told her that he was going to a training class on that Wednesday and Thursday, and told her he wanted to get to see her. At first Jack thought she was going to saw no cause what he saw was a blank look, and he heard nothing but silence on the phone. After about 2 minutes he saw her smile and she said, "I can't wait to finally get to see you Jack." This smile told him more than the words did, for it light up her face like the new morning sun.
They spent the next 2 hours talking about what they would do, finally agreeing upon meeting at a local restaurant after Lisa got off work. Jack had thought of asking her to meet him at his hotel, but thought that might make it sound like he only wanted to get her into bed.
The next 2 weeks went by too slow for Lisa, she would spend her nights online watching and talking to Jack and her days at work wondering what she should wear to meet him. Finally that Tuesday arrived and she stood in front of her closet wondering what she was going to wear that day, the office she worked in had a casual dress code. Her usual dress for work was slacks or a long skirt, but she wanted something special for Jack. She finally picked out a shorter skirt, one that went to just above the knee, with a matching silk top. She also pulled out a mini dress her friend bought her last year for her birthday and the only time she had worn it was when she tried it on that night. She knew it would still fit, and maybe even better as she had lost a little weight since then.
Lisa goes through the day thinking about dinner tonight, wondering if the spark she has felt these last 2 months will be there in person. At 4 o'clock her phone rings at her desk, it's her girlfriend asking her if she is nervous. She tells Lisa that she will be at the restaurant as well, just to have some kind of backup. Lisa tells her she is grateful for that, but really does not think it is going to be needed but wants her there just in case.
Finally Lisa gets off work and heads towards the restaurant they agree to meet at, thinking the whole time about what she is going to say and do. The next thing she realizes is that she is pulling into the parking lot of the hotel that Jack is staying at, she does not know how she got here just that she is here now.
