With the weekend done I woke up Monday morning and got the asshole and the kids out of the house and tried to decide what I was going to do with my day. I was sitting outside enjoying a quiet morning and a coffee when I heard my messenger notification go off.
I opened the app up and it was Al. We had not spoken for the rest of Sunday and like I said, even though he was being flirty, I did not expect anything from it. I pondered for a moment on whether I was going to open the message right away. Would it seem too eager?
Fuck it! I opened the message and it read, "Good Morning Natalie."
I answered back, "Good Morning to you Al. A little early to write isn't it? How did you know I would be up at 7:15 in the morning?"
"It so happens I have good ears." He stated. "I heard you talking with the girls about your regular routine so I was pretty sure you would be awake."
"Well that's a little creepy." I shot back
"Attention to detail is all, I hear and see things."
I decided to play it cool, not seem like I was excited about him writing, which I was. Even though I was cautious and curious about what was going on in his head.
"What can I do for you this morning?" I asked.
"Well that is a loaded question, lol." He answered. "I was writing because I feel like I need to even things up."
"I don't even know what that means Al."
"Well, maybe this will make it clearer for you." He wrote back.
I waited as the little bubbles, meaning he was writing more, flashed across the screen. I grabbed my coffee and took a sip while I was waiting and then looked back to the screen and there was a picture there. Fuck, I did not have my glasses. What was he sending?
I clicked on the picture to get it to go full screen. He was obviously in the his bathroom mirror, his chest was bare but everything around it was blurry. It looked like he had cleaned part of a steamy mirror and snapped a pic.
Well that was fucking bold I thought. I looked again. Holy fuck this man is sexy. His body is exactly my type. Slender, hairy chest that looks like he takes care of it. Why was I wishing I could see more. His shoulders were broad and you could see that his body was in shape but he was no gym rat. Stay cool Natalie.
"That is pretty bold Al." I wrote back. "Are you actually naked in that picture and what makes you think I want to see that?"
"I am just trying to even things up. Now you have seen my nipples and we are even."
"Problem is Al that you only saw one of my nipples, from the side for half of a second and now you send me a naked picture?" I responded.
"You are right, I did not think about it that way. I am a nipple up on you now. It gives you something to work towards." Al answered.
I read it and shook my head but I was smiling at the same time. His sense of humour was on point. His timing was on point. He was a little bold without being brash. He was reeling me in. I needed to get some control here.
"You wish!" I wrote back. "You are a very handsome man Al, I am just not sure where you are going with all this."
'Me neither Natalie. All I know is whether it was your intention or not, you have my attention and I find myself thinking about you when I shouldn't be, such as when I was standing in the mirror naked this morning."
"So you are naked?" I asked.
"Most definitely, and I probably should have checked closer to see what was visible but I didn't."
I immediately clicked on the picture again and zoomed in and you could definitely see skin through the steam but nothing distinct.
"Did you just check?" Al asked.
"Are you in my back yard fucking watching me? lol" I wrote back.
"I wish!!!" He said. "I am just on my way into work. I really cannot get a feel for this. Am I bothering you or interrupting you or can I write you tonight maybe if you do not have any plans?"
I thought about it for a second and told him at the moment I had no plans and that if he wanted to write he could and if I could answer, I would. He told me to have a great day and we said goodbye.
I went about my day and thought about him a couple of times. I examined and re examined the picture a few more times. It was cruel to send that to a person who loved men, particularly naked men as much as I do. Of course he did not know that, yet.
True to his word he wrote that night. During the day I had convinced myself to not seem too eager. I wanted control of this "thing". I decided not to answer. It was 7:00 pm and I decided to wait at least an hour before I wrote back.
While I was waiting a girlfriend stopped by with coffee and we sat outside and talked. Although I did think about the message I had waiting for me a couple of times my friend did not leave until almost 10:30 and a couple of drinks after the coffee later.
Was it too late to write back? Should I just leave it until tomorrow? Nothing wrong with a quick response now I decided.
"Hi Al, sorry not to respond earlier but I had company and they just left. I am off to bed so I will talk to you when I talk to you."
That was short and simple. Gave him an opening to reply if he wanted to. I did not go to bed right away. Of course I checked a couple of times to see if he had read the message and he didn't. I checked once more as I was turning off the lights. Why was I a little disappointed?
At 7:15 the next morning I had just seen everyone out the door. I had not slept well the night before so I decided I would crawl back into bed and get another hour or two of sleep. As I slipped off my robe my phone pinged and I already knew who it was. I knew Al would be on his way to work so I could delay my sleep by a couple of minutes.
I opened up the message.
"Good Morning, No problem, glad you had a fun night. Are you as tired as I am?" Al wrote.
"Morning, I am actually. I was just climbing into bed to get a couple more hours of sleep. Why are you so tired, seems like you went to bed earlyish?"
"I did, but, dreams of someones right nipple woke me up a couple of times!" he flirted back.
"Sweet talker eh?" I answered with a smile on my face. If he only knew of the three orgasms he had already caused me to have he would know we are on the same page.
"So I have a question for you." Al stated.
"Shoot."
"Cancel that, I have two questions."
