OOC:
It's an old story now, almost a cliche: two people meet oin the internet, start talking, become friends, and in that strange internet atmosphere of anonymous intimacy a relationship develops. Secrets and desires are shared, fantasies discussed, and strangers come to know more about each other than they might know about those closest to them in real life.
Perhaps they've exchanged pictures, but it's quite likely that they've never seen each other or even heard one another's voicem but the temptation to meet face to face is very great. They know what each other wants. They think they can find what they want in the other. They know about one another, but they do not know one another.
This is a story about what happens when they meet.

He sat in the restaurant, just down the block from his hotel, nursing his coffee and watched the door. At eight o'clock atnight the dinner rush was over, and the place was fairly empty. It was a big, generic family style restaurant, open 24 hours a day, with big windows in front that gave a view off the unexceptional boulevard outside. The only thing special about it was that it was close to where he was staying and that they had a bar, which he thought might be useful if this meerting turned out to be more awkward than he expected. He expected it to be moderately awkward.
She was going to meet him here at eight, so he kept a watchful eye on the door and on the cars pulling in to park. He'd seen two pictures of her, but she looked so different in them that he still didn't have a good idea of what she would look like when she walked in. He knew the car she drove better than he knew her face, so he watched for a green 97 Camry.
He looked younger than his real age, but his hair and beard were sprinkled with gray. He wore black slacks, a grey turtleneck and a black jacket. It gave him a kind of thuggish look, but that was okay, because his face didn't look thuggish. His eyes were brown and somewhat sad, though now they had a lively gleam as he waited for her to arrive.
There was no denying that it was sex that was bringing them together. That's what they'd spent most of the time discussing on the net, trading fantasies, likes and dislikes. They seemed to fit. They wanted the same things, things they weren't able to get at home, things they felt they might be able to find with each other.
They had never expected the relationship to get to this point. Geography had kept them separated and protected from the reality of one another. But then business had brought him to her town. He'd be here for 3 or 4 days, and they both knew they'd have to meet. Just to talk if nothing else.
They both knew that they hoped there would be more than talk.
The waitress walked by with the coffee and looked at him, but he waved her away. He was waiting for someone.
