I don't often get nervous, but this time I was almost weak. What the hell was I thinking? I had been "talking" to Michael on Twitter for a few months. It always started off cordial with the regular niceties but ended with a bang. Literally. We had the steamiest online chats I had ever had. Just the thought of him made me wet and wishing for more.
He was hosting a big party at his house to kick off the summer and invited me. I had thought about it for days and finally decided I would go. He lived a few hours from me and said I could easily crash at his place so I could enjoy myself without having to drive home. He assured me that his friends would love me and there would be plenty of people to mingle with if I got bored hanging out with him. Generally when I meet someone for the first time, I like to be in a quiet setting not surrounded by hundreds of his friends. Oh well, there's always a benefit to doing something new, right?? I packed an overnight bag, threw on my cutest sundress, and took off on my journey.
The First Meeting
When I arrived at his house, there were cars encircling his half-moon drive, and down both sides of the road. The house was a huge, two-story, with a wrap around porch almost like you would see in New Orleans. It was breathtaking. As I walked up the drive, I texted him to let him know I was there. Walking towards the door, I was greeted by a few people then one came bounding through the front door, across the porch, and directly to me.
We had exchanged pictures, most of them naughty, but I was ill prepared for the man standing before me. He was about 6'1" with sandy brown hair, the happiest green eyes I had ever seen, and a smile that instantly melted me. He was much more than I had hoped for.
"Well Hello Miss," Micheal said calmly, "welcome to my humble abode."
I giggled, took his arm, and followed him into the house. There were people everywhere. The couches were full, people were standing around and laughing in every floor space I could see, and the pool area was a buzz with more people. I was a bit overwhelmed not knowing how I was going to remember everyone's names, but being the social butterfly that I am...I winged it.
I got to the point where I was comfortable enough to make myself completely at home, bringing people drinks or refilling snack bowls. Every once in a while, if he wasn't by my side chatting away, I would see Micheal steal a glance from across the way. The way his smile lit up his eyes made me giddy every time. I was going to be in trouble for sure!
