I returned home from work on the Monday, having that day informed the girl that I had been seeing -- not seriously dating, just seeing on and off that I saw no future for us, and that I thought we should leave it at that. She'd texted me back, telling me the sort of things I'd expected to hear, and also that she had fallen in love with me, which I didn't expect to hear. Anyway, that was that, and I'd figured it was back to the drawing board.
I'd logged onto my PC at home, and checked my email, my inbox contained a message telling me that someone was trying to contact me from the personals website I'd registered with a month before, and through which I'd met the girl I'd let down that day.
It was with a sense of doubt that I logged on to the website -- what sort of ugly, ageing, weirdo was this going to be, who was trying to contact me?
What met my eyes, was a vision. Her profile pictures showed that she was clearly a stunner -- long dark hair, beautiful smile, and eyes that made me melt instantly. Her message was along the lines of 'I like your picture and your profile, I'd like to chat'. The picture I had used on the website was one taken by my last serious girlfriend, while we'd been on holiday in Gran Canaria, 5 months previous, and instantly, any reservations as to the PC-ness of using such an image were gone -- if it could attract such a beautiful woman, it didn't matter anymore.
I quickly typed out a message, conscious of not wanting to appear too eager, but containing sufficient enthusiasm to let her know that I too found her very attractive, and that I too, would like to chat.
I left it at that, and sorted out the things one does on returning home from work, got changed, sorted out my evening meal, and opened a bottle of wine -- all the time wondering what on earth this beautiful creature had seen in my pathetic little blurb I'd written about myself and the picture showing me stood outside a small apartment in the Spanish evening. She looked very well to do -- maybe she's a professional type, divorced and with cash to spare, and fancies a bit of rough, perhaps she's been put up to it by one of her mates -- see if you can pull this daft looking one, and string him along, just for a laugh, or possibly she did actually find me attractive, and somewhere in my words she'd seen the honest, self-effacing but loving side of my nature that I so wanted to share with Miss Right. Could it be her?
Meal eaten, and dishes left in the sink -- I will do them tomorrow -- I returned to my PC, to see if there'd been a response. There was. And in it, she'd put her email address, and asked if I wanted to log on to an instant chat session to talk to her. The one she'd mentioned wasn't one that I used, but I replied yes anyway, and hastily set about downloading it.
10 minutes later, we were chatting -- the clumsiness of an 'instant' message service is that it simply isn't, and the satellite-like delay as she would type a message, then wait for mine, as I did only seemed to heighten the suspense for me, and apparently for her. Very soon, we were chatting away about all sorts -- our children, our ex partners, what we looked for in a relationship, things we liked to do, and to my surprise, although not to my horror, I must admit, she broached the subject of what sexual acts she liked and enquired as to my preferences. This was one lady who was obviously not backward in coming forward, and said what she wanted to say. Asked if I liked 'Trap 2' I was worried that my naivety would show through, but asked her what she meant by it nonetheless. 'Anal sex' came the reply.
I replied, honestly, that I'd never done it, but quite liked the idea of trying it. She then went on to explain to me that she loved it, and would like to try it with me, as well as enquiring about whether I'd ever been in a threesome, and asking about the size of my appendage, did I like sexy underwear -- she did, and had lots of it.
Who had these men been that had taken her up the rear, bought her this sexy underwear, and enjoyed the everyman's fantasy of a girl/boy/girl threesome with her. I put these thoughts to the back of my mind almost as quickly as they'd popped to the front -- whoever he/they were, they were history, and she seemed to be rather into me -- their loss.
We got round to arranging a date -- there and then, and agreed that we'd meet for lunch the day after next, Wednesday. Sounds nice and safe, and we can chat again tomorrow evening to get to know each other a bit better. We exchanged mobile numbers and said our goodnights -- it was nearly 1 in the morning.
