Chris being a computer Installer for a large corporation had done a lot of traveling but this was only his first trip to Alabama. During this trip Chris had setup a meeting with an internet friend that he had known for many years. Chris was going to meet Nicole, a blonde beauty he had met in a chat room while he was back in college. Chris believed it had been almost 12 years since they first met in that chat room, But Nicole stood strong that it was only 10.
Chris was working in Montgomery, AL. This was the closest in all the years that Chris and Nicole had known each other that his job had taken him this close to Nicole. They had been talking about meeting each other in person for almost as long as they had known each other. This was finally their chance.
Over the years of knowing each other Chris had gotten married, divorced, and remarried. Nicole had gotten married, and had a child. Even during all of the change and different relationships that happened in each of their lives they remained friends. Sometimes they would go extended periods of time without talking, but neither of them ever removed the other from their email or messenger lists. They would always catch up and it was like they never skipped a beat. I don't want you to think that over the years these two were good and that their relationship was as innocent friends. The two of them became friends because of their attraction for each other and it also gave them someone else to share the sexual escapades that they each had over the years. Both of them had not exactly been the most faithful to their respective spouses over the years.
Chris looked like your average guy; he is 6ft, blue eyes, 34yrs old, wide shoulders, and the only part of him that would stand out, red hair. Over the years Chris figured out that if he was just a good guy and treated woman well, that woman would sleep with him. This was not hard for him because Chris found it hard to see women anyway other then as something to be loved and worshipped. This also got Chris in some trouble. You see Chris has a very high sex drive; this was not always good for relationships. There would be times when the person that he was in a relationship with would use sex as a weapon during fights. Then Chris would find someone who was willing and wanted him. This would bring Chris different lovers some were married, some were single, and some were swingers.
Nicole was a beautiful 28yr woman. She has long flowing blonde hair, which had a natural curl to it, although Nicole straitened it regularly. Her eyes sparkled with the littlest amount of light. She had a smile that would seem to stop time and brighten even the darkest nights. She was a curvy woman with her curves in all the right places. Nicole would disagree how beautiful she was, but all that did was make her even more desirable. Nicole was no angel herself; she also had affairs with other men. She would tell Chris of some of these escapades during their talks.
When Chris and Nicole would share their stories Chris's mind would often fantasize he was the one experiencing these things with her. He had always been highly attracted to Nicole but it always felt like it was bad timing or they were unable to meet. Chris had always wondered if Nicole would think about him the way he thought about her.
The first time Nicole and Chris would finally meet. Chris had found out a couple of weeks prior that he would be traveling down to Alabama for the first time. This news was of course very exciting for Chris. The first thing he asked when he found out he was going to Alabama was to what part. The office told him near Mobile. This was even better he thought to himself. As soon as he was able Chris contacted his internet friend and let her know he would be in the area and try to set up a time they could meet. The anticipation grew with each passing day. What was it going to be like when they finally met? Would Nicole be everything he had pictured? He had seen many a photos over the years, but as many of us know not everyone looks like the photos they share. What would they do when they met? Would they hug, shake hands, kiss, or not even touch? They had always talked about the things they would do if they ever finally met. They fantasized how they would ravish each other and would forget about their spouses at home, but were this all just a fantasy that was easy to talk about hidden behind a computer screen with no real intention of ever going through with it? Very shortly Chris and Nicole would find out.
It was just over a week out; Chris and Nicole were talking regularly about when they thought they could meet up. It wasn't going to be easy to see each other much. Nicole was going to school to become an EMT, had a child, and would need to find a way to get out of the house without letting her husband know what she was up too. Chris also had his own set of complications to find time to meet with her. Chris had to work overnights as to not disrupt sales. Then the biggest complication would be dropped on them. Chris was informed by his office that he was working in Montgomery, AL and not Mobile, AL as he had originally been told. That put Chris almost 2.5 hours from Nicole. When Chris told Nicole of this she was disappointed. She almost gave up on the idea that they could meet. Chris was having none of that. He was finally so close to Nicole after all these years he couldn't bypass the chance to see her, who knew when he might get another chance to meet her. Chris convinced Nicole that they still could meet; it just would take more planning.
After doing some thinking they figured out that the best way to insure they could meet was if Chris came down a day early and then they met after Nicole's rotation on the ambulance. They were both very excited to finally meet. Nicole called Chris multiple times as he drove the 8hrs down to Montgomery from Indianapolis. The whole drive Chris had butterflies. He was a mixture of excitement, nervousness, and with a bit of sexual tension. With how much they had talked about sex, would they go down that road? Would Nicole find him attractive? What if he didn't find her attractive? All these thoughts and many more raced around his head. If it hadn't been for how beautiful of a drive it was: seeing the rolling farms in southern Indiana and Northern Kentucky, the way southern Kentucky slowly rose up into more mountainous Tennessee, and then back down into Alabama. Compared to the hills and mountains Chris had driven through Alabama was very flat and plain, but Chris could still see the beauty of the natural terrain of Alabama. Chris had always loved nature and could see the beauty in nature that others weren't always able to see.
When Chris arrived to his hotel in Montgomery he texted Nicole and let her know he had made it. She told him it would be almost 4 hours until she would be done with her rotation. This gave Chris time to run grab something to eat. He had driven almost the whole way without stopping except for once to get gas and use the restroom. To say the least he was excited.
After eating and relaxing a little, Chris sat in his hotel waiting for that message that it was going to be ok to head towards Mobile. He spend much of the time checking that he was comfortable yet looked good. He wanted to make a good first impression. When finally the message came, Chris felt a wave of nervousness wash over him again. He kept telling himself that it was going to be ok; there was nothing to be nervous about. But he couldn't help himself. What if after they met they could no longer be friends? Chris had become very fond of Nicole and their friendship. She was now one of his best friends and the only one who knew all about his alternate life. Leading an alternate life meant lying and hiding a lot from people. He had lied to his family and friends so that he could lead the life he had been. Nicole offered someone that Chris could share all with. Chris had never lied to Nicole; he always was 100% honest with her. He couldn't even remember telling her even the smallest "little white lie." Was he risking this friendship by meeting Nicole?
As Chris drove the 2 ½ hours to meet Nicole in Mobile he slowly gained confidence. It dawned on him that nothing had to happen, if they met and there wasn't an attraction the only part of their friendship that would change was the fantasizing about being with her. They could still share their escapades, and stories. They both knew the risks involved with meeting someone they met online and for the safety and peace of mind for both of them they had decided to meet at a Mall, a public place.
He was just minutes from the exit to the mall when he received a call from Nicole asking how far away he was, she had just pulled in. Chris felt the excitement build instantly. She also apologized for not looking her best because she just had gotten off of rotation. Chris laughed to himself, thinking how bad can she really look? He had seen many pictures of her over the years and knew how beautiful she was. He reassured Nicole that she would look fine, and he was sure he wasn't at his best either because of driving over ten hours that day. Nicole informed Chris what side of the mall she was parked on and that she was driving a white Jeep. Chris informed her that he was in silver Ford Fusion, not his car but his wife's. His wife and he had talked and decided that was best he take her car on such a long drive and not rack up too many miles on his new Dodge Charger. At this point he was almost regretting not driving it. He wanted to show off a little for Nicole.
