Return to Cynthia's Stories and Poems
Go To The Devil in Blue Jean Story menu
Several months had passed now and Cynthia was having the time of her life on the computer! She had developed so many great friendships. Life was not so lonely anymore. Best of all, she was still talking to Papa Raven...her first contact. She had grown to care about him very deeply. They had spent hours together talking about everything and anything. He was a writer who wrote with such descriptive words that he had won her heart. She found that she was thinking about him day and night, and couldn�t seem to get him out of her system. She decided it was time. She must tell him how she feels, find out if he has any feelings for her?�
She got online that night determined to do something about her feelings for this guy. She was so nervous, but yet, so excited. Her heart began pounding when she saw his name appear on her contact list.
" Hi there, how�s my favorite sexy man tonite"?
"Fine thanks, and how is my sexy lady tonight?"
"Terrific, now that you are here! And there you go again, boosting my ego!"
Cynthia loved the way this guy made her feel inside.
"Well, My lady, I only speak the truth".
She could tell from his words that he had a devilish grin on his face.
"Well sir, you are far too kind, but thank you!"
She was smiling now from ear to ear.
"You are most welcome, my lady" he replied.
"You know we have been chatting for several months now right? Was wondering if I could ask you a very personal question?"
There, she had done it, taken the first step in approaching this guy to meet him she thought to herself.
"You know you can ask me anything my lady. What is it that you would like to know?" he asked.
Papa Raven could feel his stomach tighten into a knot. As he waited for the question, he felt the anxiety grow.
"Well, was wondering if you had ever given any thought to meeting anyone that you met here on ICQ in person?"
There! She had asked the almighty question! She sat nervously, wringing her hands, wondering what his response would be. The seconds felt like hours.
"Well, as a matter of fact, yes I have. I have given it a lot of thought actually. It is so difficult to meet nice people these days. But, it seems there are so many to choose from here on ICQ, don�t really know where I�d start?"
Cynthia was heartbroken. So many to choose from? She had thought she was special to this guy, and now to find out he has so many, well, it was more than she could take. She was at a loss for words. What do I say now? She thought to herself. I have to say something?
"Yes, I know what you mean." she replied cautiously.
She didn�t want to let on how disappointed she was.
"So, why do you ask that question anyway? Been thinking about meeting someone have you?" he replied showing his sinful grin again.
"Well, was just curious really. I too have met some very nice people here and I just wondered is all."
She felt like she was dying inside now.
"I have tried it once. It didn�t really work out at all. Turned out she was still married and hadn�t let on that she was until after we met face to face. That really blew me away. The last thing I need to do is get mixed up with a married woman!"
"Yes, I can understand that. But, there are many here who are single too right?"
She was hoping he would catch on to what she was hinting at.
"Well, yes, I guess you are right. Like, look at you and me for example. We are both single right? Hey, maybe we should think about meeting. What would you think of that?" he questioned.
He wondered what this lovely lady would say.
"Oh, I don�t know. I have never done anything like this before. Not sure you would like me?" she shyly answered.
Inside her heart was racing now. She felt the butterflies in her stomach. He had asked her!
"Well my lady, after all this time online together I think we would be just fine together. What do you say we meet this weekend?" he asked.
"You do seem rather nice, and we have become very good friends. I guess it wouldn�t hurt right?"
She was jumping for joy inside now. This was so much easier than she thought it would be.
"Okay, I will look into whether I can get a flight up there for Friday. I�ll get back to you tomorrow night and let you know okay?"
"Sure! That would be great!"
She could hardly believe her ears!
"I need to ask you just one question though, what is your real name?�
"Oh ya, I guess that would help wouldn�t it? My real name is Mitchell, and what about yours? Is your real name Cinamon?" he asked.
"Oh no, it is a nickname. My real name is Cynthia." she replied.
"Nice name! Well, Cynthia I look forward to meeting you this weekend then. Will send you the info and confirm with you tomorrow night as to what time and what airline I will be arriving on okay?"
"Uh yes, that would be fine. I am looking forward to meeting you too Mitchell!
They signed off for the evening. Cynthia went and poured herself and nice hot bubble bath. She removed her clothes and slowly eased herself into the tub. She was in heaven. It had been so long since she had any real contact with a man. She felt like a young school girl. Her mind began racing. What will I wear? What if he doesn�t like me? Should I meet him at the airport? Should I just meet him at a restaurant? Wow, she couldn�t believe this was actually happening?
