It's Rex and Cassie's first meeting since dating online. Will it be a match made in heaven?
As soon as Rex told Cassie the good news that he was flying into meet her, she couldn't wait for his arrival. But as his arrival loomed closer, Cassie's anticipation grew more as each day passed. Cassie thought about what it would be like to see him for the first time, since they had only talked online. She knew she couldn't keep him off her mind. She thought about him morning, noon and night. She thought about him while she was at work. He was the first the first thought when she woke and the last thought before she fell asleep.
Finally, the day of Rex's arrival was here and Cassie's stomach was filled with so many butterflies, she could hardly keep anything down. She had arrived at the airport an hour early, probably due to the anxiety she felt in anticipation of meeting Rex for the first time. She was in the middle of reading an article when the announcement for Rex's flight arrival came over the intercom. She worried if she looked alright for Rex's arrival. She spent hours on her appearance to look just right for Rex; she put her hair in rollers the night before, which hurt her head to sleep in. Then styled it out the next morning. She picked out just the right dress; a blue mini-dress (Rex's favorite color). She picked out some sandals that complimented the dress she would be wearing and put a barrette to accentuate the style she decided to wear.
Cassie watched as passenger after passenger walked off the airport ramp to meet loved ones, while she kept looking for a man matching the photo Rex had emailed her. After about ten minutes, she thought she saw a man matching the description carrying a young boy, she was too afraid to face him, so she turned her body away from him and looked out the terminal window. For some reason, she was terrified to look at him. Suddenly, Cassie felt someone gently tap her shoulder and say, "Sweetness, I'm here." Her eyes welled up with tears as the moment she has waited for was suddenly here. Now, how could she face Rex with tears in her eyes. But Rex didn't care. He set his son down on the bench and turned her around to face him and enveloped her into a big hug and gave her a big kiss. The kiss must have lasted several minutes, because when they finally came up for air, the entire airport was clapping and cheering for the newly united couple; even Rex's son seemed to be happy for them, as he patiently sat in the chair next to them playing with some toy in his little hands.
The drive back to Cassie's place was a couple hours away, so it was a quiet drive home. Cassie just couldn't believe that Rex was finally here. After about a half an hour into the drive back home, Rex asked Cassie why she was so quiet. Cassie told him that she was just savoring the moment that she so desperately wanted to arrive, that she still couldn't believe it was real. Rex told her that it was real and that he was in her life forever. He told her that she was the only woman he ever wanted; that there was no other woman for him.
As soon as Cassie pulled into the driveway of her home, Rex jumped out of the car and ran around to the driver's side and opened the door like a gentleman. As soon as they had got inside the trailer, Rex suddenly couldn't get enough of Cassie. He engulfed her in a big kiss that seem to last for an eternity. It was almost as if Rex couldn't wait any longer. The two-hour drive back to Cassie's home was just too much for Rex to bear any longer.
That first night was a magical night for Cassie as Rex gave her the night of her life. Cassie was putty in his hands and all she wanted was to please him. The foreplay seemed to last an eternity as Rex massaged every inch of Cassie's body. She let him kiss every inch of her body and she did whatever he asked her to do, being the one who lacked experience as he was the second man she has ever been with. Cassie knew nothing of what it meant to really please a man. (Her near-16-year marriage, which ended in disaster due to a philandering husband who cheated on her numerous times and abandoned her and their son for other women, who were much younger than Cassie.) Cassie just let Rex do what he wanted to her; she was his willing lover; ready to please at his beck and call. That's all she cared about. Pleasing him and making him happy.
I hope Cassie's and Rex's relationship works out, as it seems that Cassie is so much into Rex and is allowing him into her life just for a visit. I'm not sure if he is deciding to stay with Cassie after this, or is he really just stopping by for a visit. I hope the romance will work out for a happy ending to this story.
I'm with Eva. While this is definitely romance pulp fiction, I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. And that's okay if this is the first chapter of a novel. Otherwise, it appears to be totally unrealistic and downright weird. Rex comes bringing his son with him and drops into Cassie's life as her prince in shining armor? There's something tarnished about this. Too good to be true.
But you did resonate with an experience that I had 40 years ago:
On my trip around the world I visited the parents of Raj Chowdhury, one of our doctoral students, for four days in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Raj's father, Rahman, was desperate to find a suitable wife before his impulsive son decided to fall in love and marry an American woman, not of their faith or culture. He and his wife, Lilley, had retired to the United States for several years, earlier, in Houston. But returned when the businesses he had left to his brothers were having difficulty and needed his involvement. While I was there, we visited the families of three potential brides, but Rahman found none of them suitable.
I returned to the US, and months later Raj showed me a picture of the girl, about 14, in London that he had seen once when she was about 11 that he was to marry. Later, he invited the whole department to join him during a telephone marriage at 6 pm to the girl, then, about 19. When we arrived at the wedding party, Raj apologized to everyone because he had the time shift mixed up and the marriage had taken place at noon by telephone.
Six weeks later, he was to meet his bride coming from London at Kennedy Airport. I volunteered to drive him the 10 hours to Kennedy. We arrived about an hour before and Raj was smoking cigarettes and pacing nervously in anticipation of what she looked like and how she would greet him. He watched in anticipation as all of the passengers from the huge 747 came down the ramp off the plane but there was no young girl among them. He rushed up to a thirtyish Indian woman and asked her if she had seen a young girl crying on the plane, and she said she hadn't.
Finally, about 10 minutes after the last passenger had left and we were waiting all alone, a beautiful girl in a sea green leisure suit with scarlet blouse matching her lipstick came off the plane looking like a top fashion model. It was Shammi, his bride! We all rode in the front seat of my car with Shammi in the middle in silence for the first four hours or so into the night until we arrived at my brother's house halfway home for a break because I felt they both needed it and my brother's family was just a ticket for their silence and the software smiles on both of their faces.
I dropped them off at his apartment in the wee hours of the morning. About a month later Raj asked a Presbyterian minister, one of our master's degree students, to marry them in my house with a American wedding. It was very inexpensive but a wonderful wedding that I will always remember, being the host.
Raj reached the level of Dean and Professor emeritus. Shammi got her own college education. Raj and Shammi had a girl and a boy that both have good educations and careers, as well as marriages. Their marriage was not always perfect, but none ever are.
