[Xander]

Would you look at that. 1000 posts.
Who would've known. Me hanging out here for so long.

To all of you, thank you for being who you are. Making everything so damn funny, flirty and interesting. making me wanna come back for more.

Who would have known that this place would change my life so profoundly as it has. More than the rest of you I recon.
Who would have thought I would meet the love of my life, and future wife on a porn site LOL. Sounds kinda cliché doesn't it.

A special thanks to our beloved Madam Laurel, and Master Manu for being the creators and essence of literotica.

So to all of you, let's party. Beer, wine, pop, food and a special kiddie pool for Wizard, is on me.

Let's Dance!!!

oh p.s. It's Laurel who got the honor of picking my title, so don't blame me for that one ok
Thanks Laurel.

 

[Laurel]

Congratulations, Xander. The wedding announcement thread made me cry, and forced me to realize that despite my best efforts, I'd still become totally emotionally attached to you people. Thanks for everything you've given to the site - for all of your support and stories and posts and love. Rock on, my darling Dane!

 

[ShyGuy68]

From one dane to another:

Tillykke!!!!!

It's strange how the internet can have a such an impact on your life. I have met several of my best friends on-line, and I have a special bond with many of them, that I don't have to many in real life.

Xander you're lukcy that you've met the woman of your life!

 

[Merelan]

Wow, a decadent Dane. Now I must visit there.
Congratulations darling, here's a bottle of Xander GoGo Juice. It was the prototype of a line....
oops. Nope. She decided not to share you, can't blame her though.

 

[Wizard]

Look what happens while I'm sleeping!!!!!!

Congratulations, my darling, on your 1,000th post!! I thought long and hard about what I would say on your this thread, and I decided that it would be the perfect place for me to post my version of what transpired between us over the last several months. So, consider this my little gift to you, sweetheart, on your new title. And of course, it wouldn't be complete without saying a special "thank you" to both Laurel and Manu. Without the time and effort that they put into making this site what it is, Xander and I would never have met.

So here it is...my own version of how I met Xander. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.



When I joined Literotica, I had briefed through some of the profiles on it, and I recall seeing the named "Xander" on the list. The name, itself, intrigued me, so of course, I clicked on the name and was taken to his profile. The moment I saw his photo on that
page, I was drawn to him...but it didn't strike me as odd at the time, and I never really pursued it. Several times over the next few weeks, I found myself wandering back to his profile, for whatever reason. At that time I didn't know why, either.

Shortly after that, Nikki started the thread titled "A Question". This thread was basically asking "who you'd like to sleep with"...a "fuck list", if you will. I thought about who from the board I thought would make a good lover. Being close friends with Magic Merlin, he made it to the top of the list, along with a few others below, and finally Xander at the bottom. Even at that point in time, I wasn't quite sure why I put him on my list, but I knew I enjoyed his posts, and was drawn to him. So on the list he went.

Several posts after my own, Xander responded to being on my list by saying something to the effect of "Angelique...thy can know me if you want to." I immediately thought, "Open invitation to get to know this guy better." I tried for three days to get into his website, and had great difficulty...so I sent him an innocent e-mail, asking if his site was down for some reason. That was the first of several e-mail correspondences.

It wasn't long before he and I were chatting on AIM, and I discovered that my conversations with him were effortless! I felt like I had known him all my life. Within weeks, we found ourselves entwined in a rather romantic online love affair that developed really quickly. Hours and hours were spent online together, sometimes even the bulk of the day. The more we talked, the more we desired to actually see each other, face to face, so we could tell if the connection would be as real in person as it was online.

I recall thinking to myself how awesome it would be to meet Xander in person, but never did I really EXPECT us to ever meet. I guess I just didn't feel that anyone would really want to travel 15,000 miles to see little ol' me. And while Xander certainly did make me feel special, I just never expected to be special enough for him to travel that distance.

After a few weeks of serious discussion and Xander finally e-mailed me with news that
he'd be arriving in roughly three days. My heart jumped right out of my chest as I read his e-mail that began with the words "Smile my love, the suspense is no more. I'm on my way to you." I jumped from my chair and knew my life was going to change in a big way. 99% of me knew he was the love I'd waited 30 years to find...but there was still that 1% that wondered if it was real. I re-read his e-mail several times as tears rolled down my cheeks, still not completely believing what I was reading.

The next few days were long ones...time would not go by quick enough. I found myself pacing endlessly each day...trying desperately to occupy my thoughts, to no avail. The idea of Xander traveling 15,000 miles to visit me, with hopes and dreams of making a connection, was enough to cause insomnia.

Then, the day arrived. I was unable to pick him up from the airport, so my best friend IRL (Sierra on the board) traveled to Cleveland to pick up this man that she knew little about. I was stuck at a graduation party for the LONGEST time while Xander waited patiently in his hotel room for my arrival. Finally, I got away from the party and drove home.

After dropping my children off at home with the sitter, I drove two minutes away to the hotel where Xander was staying. My stomach was doing flip flops as I pulled in and turned off the car. I sat there for a few minutes, wondering if my hair looked ok, or if my make-up was running...typical woman stuff, ya' know. Then, I got out of the car and walked to his room.

After a few quick taps on his door, he opened it, and I was absolutely stunned. The site of him standing there literally took my breath away! I had to tell myself to breathe! As our eyes met, I knew in my heart that he was "the one". There was no second-guessing it at all...I just knew. To anyone who would've seen us, the first thing I think they would've noticed was the sparkle in our eyes. We were both good people before, but once we got together, we became better.

I rushed towards him and we embraced. From the moment we touched, I swear I could feel electricity running between our bodies. It was the most amazing sensation I've ever had in my life!

It wasn't long before we were lying next to each other on the hotel bed. I recall being quite nervous, and perhaps even a tiny bit self-conscious as my body is nowhere near perfect. Yet, with each passing moment, my own insecurities vanished. As things progressed and became more heated, Xander paused and looked into my eyes. Softly, he asked me if I wanted him to stop. The moment felt so "right" that there was no way in hell I was going to ask him not to continue.

As one thing led to another, we spent our first evening together making love. Even though I was nervous, and I'm quite sure that my performance was less than adequate, I enjoyed it immensely. The bond that we formed that evening, while obviously physical, was more on an emotional level.

As the next few days passed, we found ourselves nearly inseparable. When we were apart, I didn't feel like myself. It felt as though something was missing in my life...a deep dark void that disappeared when he was near.

There was one evening that stands out in my mind. After my children were tucked away in their beds, Xander and I went downstairs into the living room. We'd "been together" prior to this evening, but I knew that night would be different. Without thinking, I grabbed a blanket from the sofa and spread it out on the floor. Then, I grabbed a
Celtic CD (Secret Garden's Dawn of a New Century) and stuck it in the CD player while Xander lit a three-wick candle on the glass coffee table. Without going into too much detail, I'll say that that evening, for the first time in my life, I discovered what it was like to be so totally and completely into another person..it was as if our bodies became one. For a 26 year old guy, Xander knew enough to take his time and really romance me. It was a slow, passionate, sensuous evening that I never wanted to end. And it amazed me that such a young guy was capable of connecting mentally as well as physically in the area of sex and romance.

A few days later, while visiting my folks, Xander and I retreated to the basement where my parents keep their keyboard. Xander had promised me that he would sing for me before he left to go back home. I sat back and watched as he tickled the ivory keys with his slender fingers. Finally, after a few minutes of getting used to the feel of the keyboard, he began playing his music and singing a song. To this day, I have no idea what song he actually sang, and it didn't matter to me at the time. Hearing his voice as he made incredibly beautiful music brought tears to my eyes. I sat there totally entranced by this mans talent, knowing that at that moment, he was singing just for me. As he finished the song, he turned to me and witnessed streams of tears rolling down my face. Again, as our eyes met, I knew I never wanted to be without him.

The next day, we took my daughter bowling and spent a lot of time with my children as we had done during the days that week. Once the day was done, and the kids were in bed again, Xander and I broke out a bottle of champagne that he had purchased earlier in the week. We kept it in the fridge until the night before he left because we had planned on celebrating the wonderful week that we'd had together. Little did I know what was in store for me.

We began our night by popping the cork on the champagne bottle (which was actually quite hysterical, since neither of us could manage to get the cork OUT...but eventually we coaxed it...LOL). We sat and drank the champagne and relived the many moments we had spent together that past week.

Without warning, Xander took my hands in his, and got down on one knee. I knew in my heart that he was about to ask me to marry him. He looked deep into my eyes and professed his love for me, and after taking a deep breath, he spoke. I vividly remember his voice as he sincerely told me that he couldn't imagine living the rest of his life without me...then he asked me to be his wife. There was no ring offerred at that time, which was totally fine by me. To me, it was his sincere desire to have me as his wife that mattered. Without hesitation, I told him yes, and wrapped my arms around him, nearly squishing the poor guy.

As we began planning our lives together, Xander pulled me close to him and with a very serious and loving look on his face, asked me if it was possible for him to adopt my son. (Note, my son's father is not a part of our lives and wasn't named on the birth certificate...my daughter's father-my ex husband- is still involved in her life to a certain extent, and would never give permission for her to be adopted, hence the reason he asked about adopting my son) The amount of sincerity and genuine love that I saw in Xanders eyes as he asked about the adoption had me in tears again. Of course, I knew he'd make a wonderful father, and I immediately said "yes".

We discussed our future together, and before going to bed that night, Xander and I decided that we wanted to make it "official" with a ring before he left to go back to Denmark. So the very next morning, we went out and looked around. I didn't expect to find anything really expensive, or flashy even. Just a symbol of our love for each other, and a representation of our pledge to get married.

Eventually, we found a ring that was absolutely gorgeous...a marquis center stone with two rows of three smaller round diamonds on each side. It was the most beautiful ring I had ever seen in my life...and we both knew it was the one we wanted.

As we returned home from our outing, Xander again got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife. And, of course, the tears flowed freely from my eyes as I answered yes, again.

Not long after receiving the ring, we traveled to the airport and realized that the dreaded time had finally come. For 45 minutes, tears raced down my face while we sat in the airport cafeteria, holding hands, entranced in each others eyes.

Then, that final moment came...it was time for him to board his plane. I walked him to the terminal, crying harder at this point, and stepped towards him. Our arms wrapped around each other one last time while my voice quivered as I told him I loved him. He managed to let out a raspy "I love you too, my love", trying desperately to hold back the tears, and choke down the lump that had risen in his throat. We parted slowly and he walked to the doorway where he would board a plane back to the only country he ever called "home". With one final loving look, I turned from him and totally broke down in the middle of the airport. People anywhere within earshot were not looking at this grown woman sobbing in the middle of the lobby. I didn't care...my heart was breaking as I watched the man of my dreams board his plane for a 15,000 mile journey back to the place he called home. Oh I knew he'd be back...I just didn't know when. And I think that was the hardest part...the not knowing when I'd see him again.

The 45 minute ride back home was a long one as I sobbed and listened to a CD he had made for me of his music. My heart felt as though it had been dug from my chest with a spoon. I ached and longed for his touch, for it was something I knew I couldn't live without.

Upon returning to my home, I walked in and found it empty...no children tearing the house up, no Xander wandering around, no noise, no nothing. Just a quietness that made me ill.

A few hours later, I received a phone call from Xander. He had arrived in New York and called me crying, missing me terribly. We talked for awhile and finally, I begged him to come back to me. I had never begged for anything before in my life, but I literally begged him to change his ticket in and return to me. I knew deep down that it wasn't possible, but I hurt so much from being apart that I felt I would do anything to get him to come back. I later found out that he almost did return to me. But we both knew it wouldn't have been right. He needed time to tie up ends in Denmark so that he could come home to me where we could get married.

Since then, the lonely days have been easier to tolerate. We speak on the phone often, and for several weeks Xander called me in the morning to wake me up. Afternoons are spent online where we display our love for one another through words on a screen. But it's just not the same. The coldness of the computer screen sitting before me is nothing close to the warmth of his flesh against mine. We e-mail each other often, yet that's just not the same either.

The weekend when Xander and I decided to make the announcement on the board, we had no idea how everyone would react to the news. We didn't even know if anyone would take us seriously. But, it was something we truly wanted to share with our fellow Literoticans. So Xander took an hour or so and composed that heartfelt story of how we met and what transpired.

The thread began with the posting of his story...and the rest, as most of you know, is history.


Once again, congratulations, darling, and here's to 1,000 more. You know I'll never become tired of reading your posts.

I love you and I'll see you *oon, my darling. *smooches*

[Deborah]

Dagnabbit Angelique! I swear this is the truth. This is the first post I have ever read on this board that made me, you know, get emotional. I bet even Flagg would be balling, make that sobbing, if he was still Crystal. I don't even feel like fighting with him now.

Congratulations Xander! No, not on your 1000 posts. On finding Angelique.

And Siren, you stick around. You are one of the good guys. Love you girl!

To Xander, congratulations on your 1000th post. To Angelique & Xander, best wishes to you both for much happiness. As a relative newbie, I don't know many people here. Your story touched me deeply, I love happy endings & yours is one of the happiest.

 

[Magic Merlin]

Darn it Angel, magicians aren't suppost to show emotion.

We have this reputation to maintain, dear. Now, you made it so I'm going to be sentimental again.

Xander, to you congratulations. As a good friend of mine, I have always felt very protective of Angel as she deserves happiness in her life. When I went into shock the day I saw your wedding announcment (yeah, you guys caught me by surprise), the first thing I noticed was that I felt no apprehension about it because it was you.

You are truly one of the good guys in this world Xander. In my opinion a very honorable man. And because of that, I found that I was truly happy for both of you. And in my heart I know how happy she is because of your presence in her life.

So congratulations once again, my friend.


Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!! Now no more of this sentimentality on the boards, you guys. *Going back into the shadows and firming up rough exterior*

 

[Carl East]

Congratulations Xander on your 1000th post, I have enjoyed your posts, and I look forward to meeting you.

Angelique: Your response brought a tear to my eye, for I know what it is like to find someone special. Wishing you both all the happiness in the world.

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Xander: Congrats! Love the new title. And may I also be the first to say "Welcome to America!" Upon citizenship you will recieve a gun, a ticket to The Jerry Springer Show, a third-world county of your own choice to police or exploit as you see fit, a photograph of John Wayne pretending to be a cowboy, and a list of reasons why Canada should just give up and become the 51rst State.

Angelique: Loved the story. This might sound funny, but same thing happened to me!

 

[Expertise]

Dixon produce said list.....no seriously.

 

[Nicole]

[*Eve*]

Angelique, that was so beautiful. After reading that I know that things will be wonderful for you.

Congratulations Xander on 1000!!!!

 

[Whispersecret]

Congratulations, Xander. Having posted 1000 times pales in comparison to the true treasure you've received from Literotica.

Angelique, what a wonderful story. So moving and poignant. They should make a movie of the week about it. Either that or you guys should expand it into a novel and sell it here as an ebook.

 

[Bobtoad777]

yes this is the type of love story that should be chronicled and published and even a movie made from it. I for one would cry.
