Paddy lowered the
window on his huge Expedition, letting the unseasonably warm November air
blow through, as he drove over the back roads in Southern Indiana.
His subconscious mind took in the last late colors of leaves against a rose
sky as the sun was rapidly diving behind rolling hills. His thoughts,
however, were not on the picturesque landscape, but on the meeting to which
he was headed.
Just a week had passed since Paddy had first encountered Liz during an afternoon
of surfing through chat rooms on AOL, an entertaining respite
from the drudgery of his marketing business that he occasionally escaped
to during the week. Paddy couldnt even remember where hed
found her... probably Married Chat... he liked those rooms best...
best chance to discover somewhat normal ladies, though the vast
majority were lonely, overweight cyber queens. He chuckled
at the image.
34/female .. NY.. married (who cares LOL) 5-7 130... long blonde/blue eyes..
long curvy legs
(in thong hehe)... 36D
Translation:
Im a kinda frumpy 30 something (looks 40 something).. 5-4
160.. mouse brown hair in pincurlers
wearing my favorite torn maroon housecoat and Garfield slippers.. even though
its 3 PM and I havent showered in two days...
But..hey..so what? If a little charge lifts you up while typing fantasies
on your keyboard... good for you, honey. Certainly, the sales of
auto sexual aids had skyrocketed since AOL led the way into a
world of cyberspace love affairs. Good for everybody, thought Paddy
with a sly grin. Well, not everybody... He had chatted with Liz,
easily and without the usual opening dialogue of where/age/look like
etc. for at least 15 minutes before she told Paddy she was from Ohio.
Im from Cinti.. what part are you, he answered
Me too, typed Liz
Hmm... now that is dangerous...lol, answered Paddy, smiling
Their banter continued for another thirty minutes, and they promised to meet
again online the next day. Of course, the next day became
every day for the past week, and their chats became much more personal, and
much more revealing of each others deepest feelings, fantasies, and
desires. Liz was a 36 year old mother of two, ex-airline hostess,
happily married to an affluent OBGYN. Everything in her
Mayberry life was just perfect... except Liz was bored out of
her mind. Old story... new player. Husband who was good at everything
he did... except he didnt even remotely know his wife, and hence, gave
her about as much sensual satisfaction as he did his 100 patients
a day as they attempted mindless chatter while their feet rested in stirrups
and the handsome doctor probed their seldom used privates with a cold metal
spoon. Oh well. Paddy to the rescue.
Yesterday, they had taken their new relationship to the next
level. Liz had given him her phone number, and asked if he would
call. Normally, this step might not occur for months... if ever.
But, there was something about her... her honesty and straight forward style...
that appealed to Paddy, and made him trust her very quickly. They talked
for almost an hour, with most of the time spent laughing. He had quickly
grown to love the deep, throaty sound of her laugh... and the sultry sound
of her speech, as well.
You know, Paddy, your spoken words do even more for me than your witty
typed ones, Liz said as their conversation drew to a close.
Im laughing... but theres alot more than my tear ducts
secreting... if you get my drift.
Really, he deadpanned. I personally dont secrete
a whole hell of alot... but I do get your drift.. and Im feeling more
than a little tremor or two myself.
Hmmm. Well, at the risk of being too aggressive, Id very
much like to meet you, she replied softly. No hotels...
nothing like that, Paddy. Just meet and experience your eyes with your
voice.
A meeting, huh? Thats possible. Coffee, lunch, a
drink? Or, maybe just a talk in a park... by a lake. Any are possible,
Liz.
Ill take door #4... if thats okay, she answered.
And so they had agreed to meet today, in the late afternoon, at a remote
lake where Paddy had taken his Lab many times for quiet fishing and just
to be alone. His stomach knotted a little as he neared the entrance
to the state park, wondering what the real Liz would look like...BE like.
She had never emailed him a photo, claming no scanner or knowledge of how
one creates such a file, so his idea what to expect was based only on her
vague self description. He had sent her one, but he didnt think
that guy even remotely resembled the old fart who stared back
at him every morning when he shaved. Liz thought that guy
was handsome. He wondered what shed think of the guy driving
up to meet her today. Oh well, he mused smiling, if she doesnt
light up like a Christmas tree... Ill just say my name is Jasper and
ask for directions to the Elks Club.
As Paddy rounded the last curve in the long road to the boat launch area,
he spotted a silver Mercedes roadster parked alone in the deserted lot.
He slowed, pulling behind it, reading the vanity plate...
BUSDRVR. Well, well... one point for humor. Small
bus, Mom, Paddy whispered to himself, turning off his ignition.
They both opened their doors at the same time, climbing out, then standing
ten feet apart. Neither moved forward as Paddy gave the attractive
woman in front of him a crooked grin, allowing his green eyes to travel slowly
from her head to her shapely legs and sandaled feet... making not even the
slightest effort to disguise his slow appraisal. She, too, was in no
hurry to move... enjoying her own slow examination of Paddy, and also enjoying
the tingle she felt as his eyes moved over every inch of her, like silken
fingertips.
I hope you arent dangerous, she spoke, finally breaking
the silence.
Well, that depends on your definition of dangerous, I
suppose. Im not violent or abusive... maybe even a gentleman.
But, some have said I represent an element of danger, he answered,
smiling and moving forward....
