My phone went off just before 3:00 in the afternoon; just before 7:00 in the morning in Japan. It was Bobbi's text tone. (I'd given her one earlier in the day, it sounds like Tinkerbell.)
"Hi Garry, has your day been okay so far?"
"Busy as can be. But good. I had fun texting back and forth this morning. I've been thinking about you all day."
"I've looked at the picture you sent me about a hundred times."
I chuckled, writing back, "Seriously?"
"You really look sexy."
"Wow. Thanks." I was smiling.
"I love all the body hair. And, wait. You're at work."
"Yep. Home in about another hour or so." I liked how Bobbi was aware of things like that, different from Jenni, who was off in her own little world.
"OK. Will you text me when you get home?"
"Sure." I was already looking forward to it. I had grown fond of Bobbi, very quickly.
"OK. I'm going to take a long hot bath. Jenni's already gone."
I felt a stirring below my belt. "Privacy."
"Yep. :-)"
I was hoping that maybe I'd get another photo or two during her bath, but I didn't say anything. "Okay. I'll text you."
"I can't wait!"
"Have a nice bath. :-)"
"I will. I'll try not to drop the phone in the bathtub."
I laughed then, "Be careful, okay?"
"I will. Now get back to work. lol!"
"Bye Bobbi."
"Talk in a bit?"
I really liked this cute little brunette. "Yep. I'll text you once I'm home."
"Okay."
I got home and got settled and went to text Bobbi. I guess I had my phone turned to
Do Not Disturb
because I had not noticed the string of texts from Bobbi.
All photos. All naked. Several straight out of what my Dad used to call a "Girlie Magazine."
She did say she'd send more photos in the morning light. Some of them left absolutely nothing to the imagination.
My wish had come true. I texted her. "Wow Bobbi. You could be a model in a magazine."
"You like? :-)"
"Too hot for words."
"You probably think I'm a slut."
I didn't like it when she went there. But I kept my response simple, "Nope. Just sexy."
"Good. That's what I was trying for. I'm kind obsessed with you."
"I can tell. The photos are pretty racy."
"Really? But you like them, right?"
She really did need reassurance. "I do. Your body is gorgeous."
"I'm so glad you think so. I'm really self-conscious about it."
I gave her some additional praise, "You're incredible Bobbi. Super sexy. I'm serious."
"You really mean that, don't you? You keep saying it."
This is when I wished we were in person, or at least talking on the phone.
I wrote, "Okay. I'll tell you a secret. I've always been attracted to petite brunettes. Know anybody that fits the description? :-)"
"You keep saying that."
I smiled, "Shhh! I told you. It's a secret."
"lol! What about a Korean girl with tiny titties?"
I couldn't wait to prove to her just how sexy she was. I hoped that I wouldn't scare her off. I kept forgetting she had zero experience.
I summed it up, "Very sexy. Very pretty. Very playful. Likes airplanes. Any questions?"
"You make me all gooey inside. I wanna come home right now."
If only she knew that I wished she was here too. Right then.
"Plenty of time Bobbi. Enjoy Japan while you're there. You'll be back before you know it."
"I'm kinda nervous to be honest."
That comment didn't surprise me. Well, maybe a little.
"Really? With me?"
"Well, you've had girlfriends and sex and everything. So that makes me nervous, because I don't have any experience at all. With anything."
I tried to reassure her... again. "But we'll make our own experiences Bobbi."
"I know we will. And I love how you say it like you know we'll be together. I'm just feeling insecure. It's that time of month."
I didn't want to, but I sort of threw out the wet blanket. It was something we needed to talk about.
"So, how is this going to work? With Jenni? I guess when you two get back we'll deal with it then."
"Oh God. I don't know." There was a pause. "I'm trying not to think about it, even though I know I have to."
"Yeah. It's weird. But you and I have really hit it off."
"I should never have called you."
That comment made my heart pound. I realized at that instant just how much I had grown to like this little brunette cutie pie. In a very short time.
I quickly wrote, "Now that's just crazy talk Bobbi. Besides, you can't put the genie back in the bottle."
There was a long pause. I waited patiently.
"I feel so guilty. I'm trying to rationalize this, but it comes down to emotions. I can't help how I feel. Jenni has been talking about you every day for months and months. I was getting sick of hearing it to tell you the truth. She kept showing me pictures of you and talking about you. I thought you were so handsome. Then filling in the details about you made you even more handsome. Maybe that sounds silly, but it's the truth. And coupled with the thought of, 'why can't I meet somebody like that?' I decided to text you."
I breathed a sigh of relief. I know that sounds clichΓ©, but it's the truth. "I get it. Same thing with you actually." I hit send but kept typing. "I had already heard lots and lots about you, and then you started showing up in so many photos during this trip. I thought you were so pretty, and your smile was so joyful."
Bobbi wrote back, "So we're blaming this on Jenni? lol!"
I laughed, "Yep. Sounds good. Glad that's settled!"
"You know, I'm not just saying this, but Jenni hasn't mentioned you much since we left for this little side trip."
I figured as much. Jenni was in her own little world. I wrote, "You know, that might actually be a good thing."
"She's obsessed with this studio. It's how she is. New and shiny."
Bobbi nailed it. I agreed, "She does have that aspect to her personality."
"Jenni is weird. I love her like a sister, but she's high maintenance."
