Emily was bored that night. Her husband was watching television, but nothing on it interested her, so she went into the small room where her computer was, sat down and went into a chat room just to see what was going on She hadn’t been there long when an instant message from a man appeared on her screen
He told her how pretty her picture was on her profile.
She thank him and they began to talk. The usual chatter. a/s/l.
He said he was 31 and single and that his name was Paul. He told her he was an engineer and lived and worked 45 minutes from where she was located.
“Nice to meet you, Paul. My name is Emily, I’m married and much older than you.”
“Nice meeting you too, Emily. Mature women know who they are and what they want. I find that very attractive.”
“Are you hitting on me, Paul? I have heard that line from more men than I can count. It would be a good idea if you looked elsewhere for a younger, single woman.”
“I didn’t mean that as a line, Emily. I’m just telling you how I feel about older women and am very sorry if it offended you. I’m not looking for sex. I’m lonely tonight and came into the chat room to find someone to talk to, someone to be friends with. Will you please talk to me for awhile?” “Yes,” she said. “Now that we have that cleared up, I will be happy to talk with you.”
They talked for over an hour, telling each other about their families, interests, hobbies, likes and dislikes.
He told her that he and his sister had come to the States 10 years ago from India and that his parents were still there. His sister lived in another state, and outside of work, he didn’t know many people. He came to the chat rooms out of boredom and loneliness.
She told him that she came to the chat rooms for the same reasons. She filled the evening hours chatting with Internet friends.
“Do you think that people can have friends of all ages, Emily?”
‘Yes, of course, there’s no age limit on friendship.”
“May I be one of your Internet friends, Emily? May I add your name to my friends list, so we can chat again?”
He was a very polite young man and seemed quite sincere, so she agreed then they said good-bye for the night.
A few months passed and during one of their many chats, he sent a picture of himself.
What a nice looking young man, she thought. “Why aren’t you married, Paul.”
“I haven’t met the right girl and have spent my time becoming established in this country and working. I’ll be married someday, just not now.”
One evening while chatting, Paul asked Emily if they could meet one day for lunch or to just take a walk. She’d told him that she walks 2 miles a day for exercise and loves to walk.
Emily was hesitant and reminded him again that there could be nothing more between them than just friendship. She agreed to meet him because she thought it would be nice to meet in person to have a visual in mind when talking online. Meeting him was harmless wasn’t it? afterall they were meeting in a public place. When the day arrived, she knew she was taking a chance, meeting a stranger without telling someone, but there was no one to tell, certainly not her husband. He would never understand and never allow it.
They met for coffee at the designated time and place. She was surprised and pleased with how tall he was, taller then her 5’ 11”. She had expected a man from India to be short and dark skinned. He was neither. She also noticed what a good looking young man he was, much better looking then his picture, and she wondered why that mattered to her. She knew why. Something she hadn’t counted on. She was attracted to him.
When Paul pulled into the parking lot and saw Emily, he couldn’t believe his eyes. She was beautiful, much more attractive then her photo. She was a mature woman with the body of a mature woman, a little plump, but with her height, made her curvaceous as hell. Am I going to be able to keep my hands off of her? he thought.
While in the restaurant anyone who happened to look at them could tell they were checking each other out. Conversation came easily and time seemed to fly. “Emily, is there a park nearby where we can walk as we talk?”
“Yes, there’s a small park not too far from here and if were going to walk we have to leave now. It looks like rain.”
Rather then ride with him she decided it would be in her best interest if she invited him to ride with her. During the ride to the park, the air inside of her car was charged with sexual energy. It was bouncing off of every surface making her nervous. Conversation stopped and the silence was awkward. She took a sideways glance at him. He was looking straight ahead, and she wondered what he was thinking.
When they arrived, the park was almost empty. The sky was turning darker and the weather was threatening rain. They got out of the car and walked a short distance to a covered shelter and sat down at a picnic table, deciding whether to chance a walk or not. Her hands were cold. She put them up to her mouth and blew her warm breath on them.
“Let me do that, Emily.” He took her cold hands, put them to his mouth and blew gently, warming them. His lips brushed her fingertips and she felt a warm rush between her legs. His arm went around her shoulder, not for long, but long enough for her to know she liked it.
