Gratefully, I slid my key into the lock and practically fell through the door with exhaustion.
Why was it that Friday evenings in London were always hell?
Why couldn’t people just go home and collapse like me?
Why did they have to clutter up the bars, the tube, the trains?
Why did they have to make my journey home hell?
Closing the door I picked up my post and shoved the remaining items under the door of the downstairs apartment.
Josh wasn’t home yet.
He must be joining the throngs set on an early celebration of the weekend.
As for me… it took me all my strength to stagger up the stairs to my own front door and unlock that.
Pausing to put on the kettle, I moved along the landing and then upstairs to my “office” and ditched my bag.
I could look at the papers tomorrow … sometime…
Shedding the jacket, white blouse and then skirt as I walked through my bedroom, I threw them over my chair and pulled out a pair of jogging pants and a tshirt and after disguarding shoes and stockings pulled them on.
I’d sort the laundry tomorrow, I promised myself as I walked back downstairs to the kitchen to make the tea.
This was my idea of a Friday evening.
Tea and relaxation!
I laughed at myself.
At the grand old age of 26 I wasn't in the peak of my "wild phase" that was for sure!
I made my way down the hall and ignoring the lounge went into the room, my room, the room I had designed as my “personal space”.
Flopping down on the beanbags, I pulled out the laptop and flicked it on.
I was very lucky to have found this place.
Josh owned the bottom floor and my appartment took ove the the top two.
It was spacious, especially for one.
In London where housing prices were at a premium, I had bought the right type of property at the right time, before the “price boom”!
The second floor, or rather, my first floor comprised of kitchen, cloakroom, bathroom, lounge and what was a guest room, but was now tailored to my needs.
Upstairs was the bedroom, study and guest room.
More than enough space to live comfortably!
I clicked on the dial up and then the email icon.
Checking the clock, I calculated that as he was 8 hours behind, it was unlikely I would find him in any of the chat rooms, but hopefully there would be email waiting.
I sighed impatiently as the machine seemed to take an age to go through the logging on process.
I let my eyes wander round the colourful room, smiling at the array of pastel shades, the clutter of mementos, posters, books … until the
“You have email”
sounded and I stretched out on the cushions with a tremor of anticipation.
I hadn’t been speaking to him for a long time.
Three weeks I calculated.
But in that time it was as if we … connected … somehow …
As much as anyone could online.
I wasn't stupid. I knew it was hardly reality ...
But still there was something about this guy ...
Something that seemed ... felt ... very real.
We’d met "by accident" when I was lurking around a number of previously unexplored chat rooms.
It had been all very casual, but his questions had intrigued me.
Not for him the a/s/l demands that were commonplace.
Neither had he asked me for a detailed description or demanded a pic after only a couple of lines.
Instead he had asked about my interests ... asked me to describe my character ... what I considered my strengths ... whether I felt happy ...
and so it had progressed ...
We'd talked about a wide range of things … and somehow I felt myself opening up ... thinking about things that seemed irrelevant to this "online" fourm, but he had seemed interested ...
And he interested me.
It was strange, but talking to him made me think, even challenged the way I thought about some of the things we discussed.
And I found myself coming back time and again … purposely looking for him … until over this past week, we had exchanged emails daily … morning and evening … and usually managed to IM daily, no matter how brief the chat was...
