Joanna tugged the hair tie out of her long auburn hair as she sank into the cushions of her couch. It had been a crazy day at the office where she worked in HR. She slipped her feet out of her kitten heels and curled her shapely legs beneath her as she opened her computer to check out Facebook. She didn't have a lot of friends, but she loved to keep tabs on the people she had met over the years. She lived alone, and seeing other people's lives through the screen made her feel a little more connected to real life.
One of her favorite features was the memories post that popped up each day. She clicked on the little notification and smiled as she saw all her posts from over the years on her screen. The first post was a picture from Halloween the year before. Joanna loved the way she had looked in her Batgirl costume. A black liquid look crop top with the bat symbol hugged tightly over her large breasts and the matching mini skirt barely covered the curve of her ass. The mask was the perfect touch, emphasizing her giant blue eyes and naturally bee stung lips. She had felt so sexy that night, and she had gone home with a guy dressed like the Joker, which tickled her sense of humor.
She scrolled down and a name she wasn't expecting popped up on her screen. Will, an old flame, had written some silly phrase on her wall years before. They hadn't kept in touch, but now she remembered the way he made her laugh and the way he looked at her like he had never seen anything so beautiful. They had only spent a short time together, and, aside from a few kisses, never went any further. "What the hell," Joanna thought, "I wonder what he's been up to."
Before she could talk herself out of it, the message was sent. A simple hello. The worst he could do was ignore it, and she would go back to browsing the internet. A few minutes later, when she was just starting to be distracted by something else, she heard a ping. Involuntarily, her heart lept.
"Hey." That's all he wrote. But still, it was an opening, and she remembered the way his body had felt pressed up against hers as they kissed. Maybe he still wanted her too.
"How have you been," she replied, shifting nervously.
