A SHORT STORY OF CURIOUS LOVE

THAT MORNING

WHEN TONY MET LACY FOR THE FIRST TIME IT WAS SOMETHING SPECIAL BUT NEITHER KNEW EXACTLY WHAT. THEY BOTH LIVED IN DIFFERENT CITIES AND HAVE SEPERATE LIVES BECAUSE TONY WAS A SINGLE MAN WORKING FOR STATE GOVERNMENT AND LACY WAS A COLLECTIONS REPRESENTATIVE FOR A LOCAL COMPANY IN HER HOME TOWN. LACY WAS IN A FIVE YEAR RELATIONSHIP WITH MICHAEL, WHO AT TIMES MADE HER FEEL THAT HE DOES NOT LOVE HER THE WAY SHE FEELS AND DESERVES. THE TWO MET OVER THE INTERNET ONE SATURDAY MORNING WHILE TONY WAS AT WORK. IT WAS LACY FIRST TIME ON THE SITE. LACY WAS NOT LOOKING FOR ANYONE EXCEPT GOING TO THE SITE TO JUST CHECK IT OUT. MINUTES LATER A E-MAIL WAS SENT TO LACY AND IT MADE HER LOOK CURIOUS. SO WITHIN SECONDS LACY RESPONDED TO HIM AND REPLIED A RESPONSE TO THE E-MAILED RECEIVED. TONY GAVE LACY A INTERESTING THOUGHTS OF SWEET NOTHINGS THAT CONTINUE ON AND ON UNTIL HE E-MAILED HIS NUMBER TO HER. LACY LEANED BACK AND PAUSED FOR A SECOND BECAUSE SHE WAS COMTEMPLATING ON WHETHER TO CALL HIM. ALL OF THIS WAS BASED ON THE THEORY OF WHY WOULD A MAN OFFER HIS NUMBER TO SOMEONE HE HAS NEVER MET OR SEEN BEFORE? THOSE THOUGHTS GAVE HER THE IMPRESSION THAT TONY MAY BE A PSYCHO OR CRAZY MAN. BUT TO NO SURPRISE LACY DECIDES TO CALL TONY. WHEN LACY WAS DIALING THE NUMBER SHE WAS THINKING THAT IF SHE CALLS AND DOES NOT LIKE WHAT SHE IS HEARING HER THOUGHTS WAS TO NEVER CALL AGAIN. TONY'S PHONE BEGAN TO RING WITH AN "PRIVATE NUMBER" LISTING TO WHICH HE FELT IT WAS LACY SO HE ANSWERS. LACY SOUNDED AS IF SHE DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT BUT THE MINUTE SHE HEARD TONY'S VOICE, SHE KNEW IT WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM ALL OF THE MEN THAT HAVE COME INTO CONVERSATION WITH HER. AFTER THE FIRST CONVERSATION WHICH LAST ABOUT 20 MINUTES, LACY ENDED THE CONVERSATION AND HUNG THE PHONE UP WITH A SMILE ON HER FACE BECAUSE NOW SHE WAS CONVINCED THAT HE MAY BE SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL.
LACY AND TONY TALKED OFTEN AND THIS WENT ON FOR TWO MONTHS AND NEITHER HAS YET TO SEE ONE ANOTHER. LACY BEGINS TO FEEL THAT SHE CAN TALK TO HIM ABOUT ANYTHING BECAUSE TONY WAS THE KIND OF MAN YOUR MOTHER OR GRANDMOTHER WARNED YOU ABOUT. AT HOME LACY OFTEN FELT SHE COULD NOT BE HERSELF BECAUSE MICHAEL DID NOT KNOW HOW TO LOOSEN UP AND JUST LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST. LACY LOVES TO LAUGH AND SMILE JUST LIKE YOU DO IN YOUR CHILDHOOD YEARS. LACY, FOR EXAMPLE LOVES TO HAVE SEX BUT AT HOME THINGS ARE NOT THE WAY SHE WOULD HOPE. SHE LOVES TO EXPERIMENT AND MICHAEL LOVES THE USUAL. AT TIMES LACY WOULD NOT LIKE TO HAVE INTIMATE MOMENTS WITH MICHAEL BECAUSE HE DOES NOT TAKE THE TIME AND EXPLORE HER BODY. LACY IS A VERY ATTRACTIVE WOMAN WHO CAN HAVE ANYONE BUT CHOOSES MICHAEL BECAUSE OF THE LOVE FOR HIM AND THEIR FIVE YEAR RELATIONSHIP. TONY, ON THE OTHER HAND, LOVES TO SMILE AND HAVE A WILD SENSE OF HUMOR PLUS HE KNOWS HOW TO TREAT A WOMAN AND UNDERSTAND THE TRUE SENSUAL SIDE OF A WOMAN. HE LOVES TO HAVE CONVERSATION AND DOES NOT MIND LISTENING TO A WOMAN THOUGHTS WHETHER THEY ARE GOOD OR BAD.
THE MORE CONVERSATION THE MORE THE TWO BECAME CLOSER. THINGS ARE SO INTERESTING THAT FEELINGS WERE STARTING TO DEVELOP ON BOTH SIDES. ONE NIGHT THE TWO WERE CHATTING WHILE MICHAEL WAS SLEEP ONLINE. TONY WAS SENDING ALL OF THOSE MESSAGES THAT BEGIN TO STIMULATE LACY. IT WAS SO INTENSE THAT LACY BEGINS TO IMAGINE HIM MAKING LOVE TO HER. THIS WENT ON AND ON UNTIL LACY SENDS A MESSAGE "I LOVE YOU". WHEN TONY RECEIVED THE MESSAGE HE LEANS BACK IN HIS CHAIR AND PAUSED FOR A MOMENT AND RESPONDED WITH THE WORDS "I LOVE YOU TOO". FROM THIS POINT ON THINGS BEGIN TO BECOME ABIT MORE SERIOUS AND THE ONE THING THAT WAS SO STRANGE WAS TONY WAS UNDERSTANDING OF HER POSITION AND WAS NOT TRYING TO COME BETWEEN MICHAEL AND LACY'S RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE LACY STILL LOVES MICHAEL.
NOW THE TIME HAS COME FOR TONY AND LACY TO SEE EACH OTHER FACE TO FACE FOR THE FIRST TIME. THEY BOTH LIVE ABOUT TWO HOURS APART SO THEY PLANNED TO MEET IN THE CITY HALFWAY BETWEEN THE TWO. LACY LOVES MICHAEL BUT SHE ALSO LOVES TONY TOO. TONY IS EVERYTHING SHE WANT IN A MAN BECAUSE TONY ALLOWS LACY TO BE HERSELF AND SAY AND DO WHAT SHE WANTS AND NOT BE JUDGED. TONY LOVES HER BECAUSE OF HER BEING SO OUTSPOKEN. THE TWO SET OFF TO MEET ONE ANOTHER TODAY.
