Charlotte and I are great friends. We met a few months ago, on-line, in a chat room and seemed to hit it off straight away, chatting all the time and exchanging photo's. We even look a bit alike, although her hair is red and mine is long and blonde. There seems to be so much we have in common, the same interests, the same love of girlie gossip!
As we live quite near each other, I decided to surprise Charlotte with a visit last week. I thought it would be fun to finally meet her in the flesh. All the way there on the train I imagined what the look on her face would be when she opened her front door and saw me. I confess that I was really excited, and couldn't wait to see her.
When I arrived at the station, it was only a short walk to Charlotte's house and I was there in no time. Ringing the doorbell, I waited nervously for her to answer. When she finally opened the door we both laughed and hugged for a while, before sitting in the lounge with a nice bottle of wine. Charlotte was so easy to talk to. I told her all about my problems at work and about the boyfriend I'd left a few days before. She was really sweet and kind.
