I am incredibly blessed. It was my dream to be a writer and had married a guy who fully supported this. As he went off to work each day, I got to stay at home engrossed on my laptop writing what hopefully would become the next big thing. My friends and family were incredible jealous of this and mainly thought I just lay around doing nothing all day which was nonsense.
Some weeks I would write non-stop and churn out chapter after chapter. Other weeks I would barely get a sentence out. But I loved writing and immersed myself in each of my stories really dedicating myself to researching whatever gripping story I was writing about.
My next story was to be about a woman internet dating her way to true love. It had always intrigued me how dating had changed. I had met the love of my life at university IRL but had many friends who had used the internet to meet their partner or just find a casual hook up. I just needed to find out more about how things worked now. My husband encouraged me to join up to sites using a fake profile and see what happened. Maybe I would get some stories for my book.
What he didn't know was how addicting these sites were. I would sit for hours chatting to different guys who would spend their time complimenting me and yes sending me lots of pictures of a certain part of their anatomy. I must admit it did wonders for my self-esteem. I had decided to use real photos of myself to some of these guys but with my face cut out. If I did become a well-known author I didn't want a scandal written about my secret online life.
I don't know how it happened but one day I realised that I had spoken to the same guy for the last 10 days in a row for hours at a time. His name was Jack. In my defence, he was so hot! He had a body you could just stare at for hours without getting bored (which I admit I did on a daily basis!).
When I realised that I had started to develop some kind of feelings for him I decided to tell him that I was married and that I was researching a book. This didn't seem to deter him though. He said that this made it hotter for him and that he also was married. This turned me on a lot and I did spend that afternoon playing with myself thinking of sneaking around behind our spouses. I felt incredibly guilty and decided to spoil my husband that night if you know what I mean! I felt so bad knowing that he had a unknowing wife and that I was the other women. What had become of me.
But I couldn't get over the fact that this incredible hot married guy wanted to hook up with me and how turned on this made me. Every time I tried to break it off he would say something that would drive me right back to him.
He suggested that we meet up and see if we have any chemistry. I thought this could be a good idea because I loved my husband and I thought I would get there and discover there was no chemistry and it would break the fantasy spell.
I decided to be a little honest with my husband. I told him that I thought I should go on a fake date with one of the guys online to see what they are like on a first date. I told him also that I would go with a friend and would meet in a very public place. And that it would be a one off.
What I wasn't suspecting was how supporting he would be. He told me to go for it. He thought he was a fantastic idea. I had always known that he wasn't the jealous type and that he trusted me but this just made me feel worse. Why did he trust me? Did I even trust myself?
So, I decided to set the date and meet up with Jack at a bar half way between our town where no one would recognise us. The problem I faced next was what to wear for the date. I didn't want to wear something too slutty but also didn't want to wear something too conservative. I decided to send him a message the morning of our meet asking him what he would like me to wear. I was liking the confidence I had online. A few minutes later I received a message back which just said
