Sounds of Seduction

How did we get here?

That was the question that we both had been asking for a while, yet neither of us was able to formulate an answer. What started out as innocent flirting online blossomed into something that neither of us could control nor explain.

At first it was little comments left on each other's pictures. The comments were slightly innocent but there were still some underlying sexual connotations. Soon after, the comments moved to sexy inbox messages here and there and not far behind numbers were exchanged and conversations took over.

We talked every free minute that we had, which wasn't often because both of us had other things going on. Not to mention we were thousands of miles apart. At first, I thought the distance would be cool because it still allowed me to do me. I had no expectations of anything long term coming out of it; I mean this was an internet connection for crying out loud. Still I was enjoying the attention I was getting. Don't get me wrong, I got attention at home too but this was something different. It was something new. It was fresh. I think it was the thrill that turned me on the most.

We would sneak and video message each other, or call when time permitted but the majority of our time was spent texting and sending each other pictures. Since our schedules was off we always made a way to talk to each other during the day while I was at work. We texted while I was on break and then we would talk while I was at lunch. Since he worked in the evenings I wouldn't talk to him until he got off at night, but it was only while he was waiting for the subway or the bus to get home. After we had been talking for a while I had to ask him about his transportation situation because he was always waiting for the bus or the subway. I was concerned that he couldn't drive; and the only reason that it concerned me was because I hated driving and there was no way that I was going to see someone that I was going to have to drive around the entire trip.

"I am not as lucky as you are, I dont have a drive way in my yard. Finding a parking spot around my condo is like finding a virgin in a whore house; impossible. I would rather use public transportation than lose my spot. Plus, it gives me more time to talk to you and see your beautiful smile before I go to work."

He always said the right things to make me smile. Hell, he said all the right things period. I didn't want to think that I had fallen in love with someone so far away but the heart does what the heart wants, and who was I to deny my heart of happiness?

After twelve long agonizing months the time had finally come and the opportunity had presented itself for Terrell and I to meet face to face. My job was sending me to Washington D.C for a week-long training. I let him know all of the details and he made arrangements to come meet me. He had even taken the week off to spend the entire week with me. I was excited that the mystery was finally over, but I was nervous all the same.

Would I be good enough?

Was I ready for this?

Would I be able to satisfy him?

What's going to happen after this week?

Those were just a few of the questions that ran through my mind. He did everything in his power to put my mind at ease each time we talked by reassuring me that he loved me for who I was and he loved me without reservation, but there was still that fear of the unknown. He told me that he wanted to pick me up from the airport, but I wouldn't let him. I wanted to go check in first and get my mind together. Plus, I still needed to check in at home and let them know that I had arrived safely. I knew I was going to FaceTime my family and I didn't need anyone asking questions or seeing something they didn't need to see.
