Chapter 5. A Weekend of Vanilla, Chocolate, Milk & Honey
Another noteworthy gal I met while chatting used the nickname "RavenBeauty." At first sight of the alias, I surmised she was black...or at least her hair was. I met her online just 3 nights after my day in Louisville, but in a different chatroom than the one where I'd met Kate. RavenBeauty was 29 years old. When I told her about my job, she was intrigued & told me that she too worked from home. After a few nights of chatting, we began exchanging first private messages, then e-mail addresses. When we started e-mailing each other, I told her my real name; she said hers was Myra. What I especially found intriguing was that she lived in Philly--right across the river from me! Still, we took a month to get acquainted before arranging to meet in person. The only difference was that there'd be no airplane tickets, hotel rooms, or 4-hour drives this time. I gave her directions to my house.
It was mid-March. Most of the snow & ice had melted, but temperatures were still somewhat cold. It was Friday, 6:30 PM. I was expecting Myra any minute. Soon the doorbell rang. When I answered it, sure enough, there stood a tall woman with a chocolate face & raven hair styled in thin braids. "Myra?" I asked.
"Yes."
"Come on in." So she did. She took off her gray trench coat & I opened the closet & found a hanger for it. She took a seat at the dining table while I contemplated what to fix for dinner. I asked her if nachos would be OK; she said yes. So I took 2 plates out of the cupboard & lay the ingredients on each plate one by one: refried beans, chips, ground beef, cheese, olives, onions. As I heated the first plate in the microwave for 3 minutes, I walked toward Myra, stood behind her, & rubbed her shoulders. She let out a heavenly sigh, which told me she liked that treatment, even needed it. Soon the first plate was finished heating, so I exchanged it for the other one, which I zapped for the same amount of time. I resumed massaging Myra's shoulders until the microwave beeped again. I topped both plates of nachos with sour cream & salsa. After bringing them to the table, I filled 2 glasses with water & brought those to the table also.
Myra & I sat across the table from each other. She was wearing a plain white T-shirt that did little to hide her ample breasts. In fact, as we ate our dinner, 2 wet spots began to form on her shirt. By the time we finished eating, the spots had grown bigger, arousing my curiosity. So as I cleared the table I asked her why her shirt was getting so wet.
