Broken is a story that is best read Chronologically to start from the beginning – Prologue
So we had our first date and I went home on cloud nine but also in a little bit of anxiousness. I wondered would she focus on the connection or my awkwardness. It could be endearing but some women like their men smooth and sophisticated. I was capable of this but early on with her I was a mix of both. But would there be more?
We spent the next couple days talking and she wanted to see me again… Yes!! She had this amazing ability to make me feel so wanted. She would say “when can I see you again” I would live off her asking that for quite some time. So much so I forgot to ask her at times.
We talked about what’s next and the challenges of knowing each other and being in such close proximity. She would remind me all the time “2.7 miles”. She said “don’t fall in love with me” and explained men seem to do that with her. I told her ditto… I have always been described by those who know me with a great range of sweet and sexy. By default I am a nurturer and give people I care about my all. So I have had my share of girls that “fell” for me.
She asked what happens if it gets too serious I said “we will just have to say goodbye”. I meant every word of this and she said “Ok”. I never had an intention of leaving my marriage. Then she asked “how long do we do this” I said 4 years. That was the time when our kids would have graduated high school. She said “OK!” I was surprised initially by that. As i said it tongue in cheek but she was enthusiastic about it. And i thought to myself that would be awesome and could we get there.
After we had that discussion we quickly changed back to ok when and where are we meeting. We talked about sex, I sent her another story of erotica in what I would do to her, she sent me a dirty picture and I suggested why don’t we get a room. Her response “Yes!”. I set the day. It would be day time. I got excited and nervous again how will this go…
I do hope that you will continue to share your story, Matt. It is a sensitive topic, for sure…but it is very insightful to hear the side of the story which you are coming from. Keep writing 🙂
