She nervously stood on the path to his house. This was it. It was finally coming to fruition. For a year now they had been chatting online. Constant banter every day, like they were the best of friends. Sure they had their moments, and the odd misunderstandings that come with the territory of missing the facial expressions and tones of a voice to express thoughts on a screen; but they had made it through, they had talked it through and grew stronger together with each passing day.
It wasn't all easy. When they had first met, they were both committed to someone else. The beauty of the internet was that you could reach out and enjoy another's company without it really being cheating. Their significant others were still a strong presence in their respective lives and nothing, it seemed was going to change that.
Yet here she stood, looking at his house, the butterflies building in her stomach. The connection started as most of them did with her flirting and making suggestive comments of what her tongue would do to his hard cock. His response surprised her and took her down a path of submission that she would not normally go, but she felt instantly safe with him. Their conversations grew to more than a sexual banter. They became friends, embroiling each other in their lives outside the computer screen.
They took trips together, taking photos of the world around them to include the other their escapades. Despite the times differences and distance between them, their passion grew for each other.
Three months of suggestions had brought her to stand outside his house. Three months of secret discussions and elaborate stories had allowed her to head overseas alone. She pondered the coming events. Would they still find each other as irresistible as they did online? Would this just be a close friendship or would something more happen?
When the borders were opened and international travel was permitted once more, she booked her flights and planned the most exciting trip to see him. Now that she was here, outside his house, she wondered briefly if this was the right thing to do. Reality doesn't always live up to the fantasy we create.
She closed her eyes, breathed deep and stepped forward. Walking down the path was an exhilarating feeling knowing that soon she would be face to face with the man that had talked her through some of the hardest moments of her life. Standing on his doorstep she confidently rang the bell.
His smile was the first thing that greeted her. A smile she had imagined a million times. This smile did not disappoint. It stirred feelings in her stomach, familiar feelings and emotions. His eyes shone back at her looking deep into hers. He knew her secrets and her dreams. His soul radiated out to her. The soul she had grown to love over words on a screen.
He stretched out his arms and welcomed her to him. She stepped forward and felt the warm embrace of this man who had been her confidante and best friend for what seemed like forever. He kissed her forehead, his soft lips lingering on her skin. Her whole body relaxed. He ushered her into the house and led her to the loungeroom where coffee awaited. The smell of vanilla and caramel wafted through the house and melted her senses. He knew she loved caramel in her coffee, and he loved his morning vanilla latte.
Sitting across from each other they sipped their coffees and engaged in their usual banter. Despite him being fourteen years her senior they spoke as if they were on the same level. His older features were a comfort to her as they portrayed the warm soul that dwelled beneath the surface. His extra years provided a wisdom and experience not seen in guys her age which excited her.
