I’m back in your inbox…. sounds a little salacious, but I’m good with that!! 😉
Have been daydreaming… very pleasant thoughts!!
Sounds like we may have to exercise patience–our schedules aren’t meshing.. I’m tied up this week, and then Tues- Friday next week… maybe shoot for post-Labor day?  sounds far away… but well worth it!

You make me smile.  Know that even four or five words from you make my day, lead me to think about what we have done and what we might do.  I’m so glad I can inspire daydreams for you!  If you give me hints about them I will endeavor to make them come true!  
We can keep going to lunch once a year if you like.  🙂  But more will be better.  I have thoughts all the way from 2 hours in a bed in Somerville on up to a day trip to Rhode Island.  Mmm…. 
Have you seen the GEICO commercial with the camel?  It’s good for a work-safe laugh.

Sassy: Hee!
·       4:03 PM
Sassy: You have plans for you and me?
·       4:03 PM
The Lawyer: not to be crass or prying, but might you have a recommendation for a hotel/place? I may be getting ahead of myself here, but forgive my enthusiasm…
·       4:03 PM
Sassy: Yes. I have some ideas
·       4:06 PM
Sassy: Is it tricky for you to pay? If it would be easier, I can deal and we can figure it money later?
·       4:07 PM
The Lawyer: I can pay… might be better to pay you cash if you could put it on a card, but I’ll figure a way.
·       4:07 PM
Sassy: I can easily put it on my card.
·       4:08 PM
Sassy: I’ve had luck at the La Quinta near Assembly Square mall, just off Rte 93 or Rte 28
·       4:09 PM
The Lawyer: that sounds good for me– convenient for you??
·       4:09 PM
Sassy: Or the Holiday Inn in Somerville
·       4:11 PM
Sassy: Easy from Rutherford Ave, or Rte 99
·       4:19 PM
The Lawyer: either sounds doable, as long as you’re ok with them
·       4:19 PM
Sassy: They’re fine. Very close and easy for me
·       4:19 PM
Sassy: and off my beaten path in terms of seeing people I know
·       4:20 PM
Sassy: We do need to be careful in the parking lot, lobby
·       4:21 PM
The Lawyer: certainly ok for me… so the next question will be…. when is good for you? this may be tricky, as next week will be tough for me.
·       4:21 PM
The Lawyer: agreed– we can stage somehow, maybe
·       4:23 PM
Sassy: I can go check in and send you a room number.

Meeting The Lawyer Again

Tuesday, August 20, 2013

Background:
The Lawyer was the first AM man I met.  We exchanged emails for a week about a year ago, then had a delightful lunch on a beautiful Thursday afternoon in September 2012, and kissed in the parking lot of the church down the street.  He charmed me.  We talked through October.  He asked me if a hotel could be our next meet and I said yes.  He disappeared.  I wrote back at Thanksgiving and again at New Year’s.  Nothing came of it.  


A second chance:
He pinged me in Yahoo IM today. When I saw his name, I thought I’d hit the wrong button somehow… I was in the midst of emailing with Glider that I met yesterday.  

·       11:29 AM
The Lawyer: hello, sweet lady!
·       11:29 AM
Sassy: Hiya!
·       11:29 AM
The Lawyer: how are you doing?
·       11:30 AM
Sassy: I’m great! You?
·       11:33 AM
The Lawyer: pretty good, overall… enjoying the summer??
·       11:33 AM
Sassy: Been a rough summer
·       11:34 AM
Sassy: Mom had open heart surgery end-of-May
·       11:34 AM
Sassy: and a stroke in the midst of recovery
·       11:34 AM
Sassy: so she went from fully functional, live alone, etc. to needing someone there most of the time
·       11:35 AM
Sassy: So I’ve been dealing with her, and my sisters to split the work
·       11:36 AM
The Lawyer: ouch… Western Mass, right? Do you have to go out there regularly?
·       11:36 AM
Sassy: No, she’s nearby, thank goodness!
·       11:36 AM
Sassy: You been getting some time off?
·       11:38 AM
The Lawyer: unfortunately, no– been a very rough work-summer– hoping to get a few days off before Labor day– but I imagine you’ve been working throughout as well!
·       11:38 AM
Sassy: This week and next are the craziest of the year for me.
·       11:38 AM
The Lawyer: getting ready? 
·       11:38 AM
Sassy: yup
·       11:39 AM
Sassy: You finding lovely ladies to play with?
·       11:39 AM
The Lawyer: I wish– how about you?? finding a beau??
·       11:40 AM
Sassy: You on the shelf? That is awful! You are such a catch!
·       11:41 AM
The Lawyer: awww… C’mon… my problem is that I drop out of sight from time to time– I’m certainly no catch!
·       11:41 AM
Sassy: I’ve been trying… had a very bad meet in July that made me very skittish but I am starting to try again
·       11:43 AM
The Lawyer: I always regretted my behavior with you, for multiple reasons!
·       11:43 AM
Sassy: Eh… stuff happens.
·       11:43 AM
Sassy: I was thinking of you yesterday in fact
·       11:43 AM
Sassy: And smiling
·       11:44 AM
Sassy: But thanks for saying
·       11:44 AM
The Lawyer: well….. I’d certainly be interested, if you ever were….
·       11:45 AM
Sassy: I am
·       11:46 AM
The Lawyer: really? I have very fond memories of a church parking lot!
 11:47 AM
Sassy: Yes. That was soo hot
·       11:47 AM
Sassy: I walked by there yesterday
·       11:47 AM
Sassy: thought of my hand in your front pocket.  😉
·       11:48 AM
The Lawyer: mmmn…. it was all good… combination of kissing you and our bodies pressed together….
·       11:51 AM
Sassy: Yes. Oh yes. Ahem. YES!
·       11:52 AM
The Lawyer: mmmn… I would very much like to renew our acquaintance, m’lady… what say you?
·       11:53 AM
Sassy: Yes please.
·       11:54 AM
The Lawyer: mmmn.. let’s have lunch or something, then…
·       11:54 AM
Sassy: Sounds great!
·       11:56 AM
The Lawyer: tomorrow?
·       11:58 AM
Sassy: I have a staff lunch from 12-1:30 pm…
·       11:59 AM
Sassy: Ugh!
·       11:59 AM
The Lawyer: ok, we’ll figure it out– when would be good?
·       12:01 PM
Sassy: I am looking at the calendar…
·       12:02 PM
Sassy: Do you have options other than lunch? or does that get really tricky?
·       12:02 PM
The Lawyer: do-able, but may take a little planning
·       12:05 PM
Sassy: I’m sorry… I am usually completely flexible but I am looking at running meetings or conference Th/F, M/Tu and W/Th! Ugh. After next week, much easier!
·       12:05 PM
The Lawyer: any suggestions?
·       12:06 PM
Sassy: later afternoon?
·       12:06 PM
Sassy: breakfast?
·       12:07 PM
Sassy: I’d much rather be with you… sigh
·       12:08 PM
The Lawyer: where are you now?
·       12:08 PM
Sassy: work
·       12:08 PM
Sassy: Can you do today lunch?
·       12:08 PM
Sassy: Yes!
·       12:09 PM
The Lawyer: can leave in 3 minutes to catch redline– where shall we meet?
·       12:09 PM
Sassy: wherever you say…
·       12:09 PM
The Lawyer: I’m pretty open– name a place
12:11 PM
Sassy: Hmm…
·       12:11 PM
Sassy: Border Cafe on Church Street? or Grafton Street Grille on Mass Ave
·       12:12 PM
Sassy: John Harvard’s?
·       12:12 PM
The Lawyer: Border cafe– sounds great– about 20/30 min.
·       12:12 PM
Sassy: Okay.
·       12:12 PM
Sassy: Yay!
·       12:12 PM
The Lawyer: see you– I’m leaving right now!!
·       12:13 PM
Sassy: You are awesome!

He apologized so sweetly for not following up last year, and asked me to lunch.  In 20 minutes!  I dashed out to meet him.  He was already there!  We hugged “like old friends do” and he led me into the restaurant. He is so tall and trim! He looked handsome in a fancy tailored suit and button-down dress shirt. We got a quiet booth at the back and traded stories. He told me about his kids, and his adventures and we got nostalgic about the good old days working downtown. He has the most wonderful smile and a twinkle in his eyes. He looks at me like I am very sexy, if a bit bizarre because of the strange men I wind up meeting. He makes me smile.

As we left the restaurant, he said he needed to kiss me again.  I was a total hussy – I pulled him into the doorway of a closed business and snogged him, right there on the street!  He held me close and kissed me back with abandon! I rubbed my hips against him and he moaned into my mouth. It was so tough to stop… I wanted to unbutton his shirt and… sigh.  He makes me feel so alive! So treasured!

He said he would go back to the office and check his calendar.  I thought I’d never see him again. He said September.  For real. I didn’t believe him.

The Lawyer’s Answer

I have this habit of getting back in touch.  Does that make me an idiot? 
I get bored on Saturday nights and reach out to men who have gone silent.  I was so curious to know what happened to The Lawyer.  I last heard from him in October.  He asked me if our next meet could be in a hotel.  And I said yes!  And then… nothing.  
I wrote to him at Thanksgiving.  Silence. 
I wrote to him at New Year’s.  Silence.   I began to wonder if he’d had a heart attack.  I just wanted to know!  I hate silence!  
Maybe it was the Dayquil, but I started to wonder if the third time could be the charm?  And wrote him again.

Hiya,
Tom!!!  Thank you for taking the time to reply… I appreciate it!  I’m so relieved to know you are alive and well and busy, dear man.  
I learned a lot in the last four months.  You were the only “normal” man I met, so you stick out in my memory.  You know how perfect someone seems before you get to know them.  🙂  
After Panties Man, Mr. Scat, Mr. Dom, two guilt kings, two email kings and a partridge in a pear tree, I am done with AM.  It was “interesting” but didn’t produce the fun I had hoped.  I am still there, helping my online pals fine tune their profiles, but I seem destined to sit on the back bench while others play.  It was good to have tried, and met you.  You were very kind.  When life gets too bizarre, I think of the twinkle in your eye and my hand in your pocket.  It always makes me smile.  
I am home sick with a cold, so anything goofy I said above should be written off to Dayquil.  
I hope life stops crashing in and 2013 is a great year! 
-Sassy
=========
Nice to know he’s not dead.  But geesh.  
I wrote back a sweet note with an undertone of “you jerk… you were the only normal guy I met and now I’ve given up.”   Hope that guilts him a bit but I doubt it.  He was such a gentleman and then pfft.  But I do appreciate him responding!  
I’ll be very surprised if he writes back.  I’ve got my closure so I can forget now.  Right?  File him in the “too busy to cheat” pile and move on.  Stop wondering what it would be like to be alone with him?  Right?

Discovery and due diligence

From: The Lawyer
To: Sassy Girl 
I would love to be alone with you!!! I have a feeling that there’s a blazing fire awaiting us!!! My imagination is wandering all over the place, as the thoughts and images overwhelm!!!      MNNN… we need to think about logistics…. I don’t have any place available, and unless you have a love nest or a friend who’s in europe for the fall, we’ll have to make do….  are you put off by a hotel room?  I’m sure we could figure out a time and place that would give us some time and privacy…
the mere thought of this is turning me on!!! 
and, as a lawyer, i have a strong desire to engage in extensive discovery, and thorough due diligence– with you!! 😉
=========================
October 24, 2012 7:24 pm

Hiya Tom, 
You make me smile!!!!
It has been so long… almost makes me cry, in a good way, to be wanted.  and it’s especially wonderful that it’s you.  And that it’s mutual!  Thank you, sweet man.  
Ah, logistics.  A hotel room works, though frugal me hates to think of you spending money on it but if you can… it would be lovely.  Anywhere you feel safe with me taking your clothes off, with a bed and you… sounds lovely.  If there are ways I can make it easier, let me know.  The other thing I require, to get right down to brass tacks – I assign you condom procurement.  
You being turned on was a fabulous thing to behold… even with nerves and people and sunshine.  Can’t quite imagine how much more fabulous it would be under better circumstances, but I am having fun trying!  Thinking sassy thoughts about my hands and my mouth and your body… hmmm…. I do wonder what would excite you most, so I can do it!  and then I think about your hands and your mouth and… more. Oh my… 
Har har… I’ve never been with a lawyer in such a proceeding… tempted to say something about your briefs but they might be boxers for all I know!   Hoping that occupations fade as we get closer… to the um…closing?  I should throw in some Latin phrase but I forget them all except pro bono which would be too much?!  
You are such fun!  Hugs with groping.  And a sensuous kiss.  or two or three.

Saturday summary

Saturdays are too quiet!  Only one blogger emailed me.  No Philip. No attention from the AM guys.   Bleh.  I think I’ve managed to tick most of them off.  
– Panties Man sent me an incredible photo of magenta striped undies with lace and ribbon yesterday, which I told him were spectacular.  He wanted to see mine but I just couldn’t do it.  He said it was okay but has been silent since.  You probably don’t want to see a man in ladies underwear, but there is something very hot about a man’s junk covered in ladies panties!  
– I scared The Lawyer Thursday night.  He wrote about 6:30 pm to ask if I was ready to see him again.  Duh… YES!  Been waiting since Sept. 27th?!  He asked when.  I said pick me up in an hour?  Or name a time that works for you, I’m flexible.  No response.  
– The Professor is really vanilla.  He asked me to explain why anyone would be interested in anal sex.  Why is it my job to explain that?  He must not have liked my explanation… nothing since then!  
– The Coach told me he was going to Omaha Mon-Wed on business.  and never wrote again.  *sigh
They may pop back up, but…. ugh.  I want someone who can’t wait to meet me!  Ah, well.  
So I am left with AMguy #1 who I’ll meet Monday if he doesn’t chicken out.  He admitted to being excited but nervous.  I told him there would not be a moral dilemma Monday evening because I am not going to have sex with him on the first meet.  Hope that doesn’t upset him.  But I am determined to just be me and if that’s not good enough, too bad!  I am planning to get to the restaurant ahead of him, so he can’t see me limping.  I hope I can finesse walking if we leave there together.  How am I supposed to meet men if I can’t walk?! *sigh 
I did get a new contact last night, the second from the other [defunct] site. The timing was funny – I logged on to archive The Coach, and was about to hit the logout button when it said, “You have new mail.”  Heh.  He’s not my usual type – older (56), shorter – only 5’10” and skinny and Jewish!  He wrote beautifully, mentioned baseball, plays and chocolate!  I had to write back.  He hasn’t replied but many guys don’t on weekends, so I won’t fret until Monday night.  He had that slightly discouraged tone of someone who has written to a lot of women and not gotten a response, so it was fun to write back and hope to make his day.  His profile says Bangor ME but he talked about being close by me… puzzling.  That is hours from here.
