Internet Love Inspired By True Events #Other
I sat down and hit the on button on my hard drive, the computer whirred and i signed online not expecting to find anyone to talk to, as usual.
I clicked into a chatroom and scanned the various different screen names.
Then i found one that interested me, i clicked up a conversation box and typed "hello", as i waited for a reply i continued looking into the chatroom, then the sound of an answer ringed through my speakers.
"Hi, asl?" came up in the conversation box, so i typed up "17/f/uk, u?" and the reply came back "20/m/uk, how are you?"
A smile spread across my face as i chatted to this mysterious guy into the night. As 12am came and went i typed up "i have to go to bed now, maybe we can chat again sometime?" and happily i read as the guy replied "yes of course, speak again soon xx"
I turned off my computer and went to bed.
The next day i went to school constantly thinking about the guy i had spoken to the night before.
I came home from school and signed onto the internet again, then i realised i hadn't saved his screen name into my buddies, i was about to sign offline when i heard the message noise ring through my speakers again.
"Hello again" appeared in the conversation box, i grinned as i recognised the screen name and quickly typed up a reply "hello again, how are you?".
Another long night of chatting came ahead for me. This time we exchanged screen names on another internet chat program, and continued to chat on there.
A week passed as we chatted every night, and i plucked the courage to ask for him to send me a picture. "Picture sent" appeared in the conversation box, so i checked my email and saw to my delight there was an email from the guy in there. I opened the email and the picture appeared, my heart skipped a beat. This guy was gorgeous! He had dark brown hair, a small goatee and the most gorgeous blue eyes i had ever seen. Then into my world of admiration i heard the message noise, "can you send me a pic of u please?", I nervously picked the best picture i could find, one of me with all my dark make-up on and with my hair down. "Email sent" appeared on the screen, and i waited nervously for a reply.
About five minutes passed and then the noise rang through my speakers, "wow!" appeared in the conversation box. I blushed.
We chatted late into the night, and as i logged off i went to sleep with the image of that guy in my head. I found out that night that his name was Tim.
A month after we had started chatting i began to have strong feelings for Tim, i felt really silly as i knew he would never think me anything more than a friend, so i decided not to say anything.
That night as we chatted i asked Tim if he was involved with anyone, and to my sadness he said yes. I began to sob as i saw any chance of happiness with Tim fade into darkness.
As Two years passed i spoke to Tim, never revealing my feelings for him. I saw him date a number of girls, always feeling envious that it wasn't me. I too dated guys, but those relationships ended in my heart break.
Then one day as we chatted he sent me a voice clip over MSN, "i love you lauren" came over the speakers, and i jumped back in suprise. Tim saw my face over the webcam and asked "whats wrong?", i stayed silent as i tried to let what i had heard sink in. All those feelings for him that i had buried came back in a flurrying storm. I was still silent as i tried to think of a reply.
Then i typed up, "i'm speechless, i don't know what to say". Tims face grew a large smile as i watched him over the webcam.
Later that night he asked me to be his girlfriend, i told him i would think about it, logged off and went to bed.
A few days later, i sent Tim a message saying " you know that question you asked me the other night?, well my answer is yes". That same afternoon my phone rang, it was Tim, asking me to get online. I logged on and instantly Tim popped up, "So you know that message you sent me, what does it mean?" i answered "well, it means i am answering yes to the question you asked me".
I felt so happy to finally be with the guy i had wanted for so long.
After a few weeks we arranged to meet up, he would come and stay with me at my house.
As i waited for his bus to arrive my stomach filled with butterflies. After about half an hour his bus arrived and i saw his smiling face looking out the bus window.
He got off the bus and i nervously gave him a hug.
We walked back to my house and went upstairs to watch a video. Later that night we were about to go to sleep when Tim said to me "There is one thing i want to do before i go to sleep", i answered "Whats that?", "I want to kiss you" Tim answered, i fell silent as he leant in and we shared our first kiss. A big smile appered on both our faces, and our lips locked again, we kissed for what seemed like hours. Then we went to sleep.
The next night we made love for the first time, and all i can say is that it was the best night of my life.
We became inseperable.
The next visit we planned was for me to go to newcastle.
The moment came when i had to get on my coach and endure an eight hour long journey to newcastle.
When i arrived it was freezing cold. Tim came jogging round the corner with his friend Paul. We caught a taxi back to Tims. Through my visit i met a number of Tims friends, Byron, Alisha, Paul, and lots of others, too many to mention.
The time came when i had to leave, and as my bus pulled out of the station i cried.
Two more visits followed that one, and each time me and Tim became more and more in love.
Then something wonderful occured on his most recent visit.
I was sitting in my room watching television when my brother James called me downstairs. I sat in the kitchen drinking water, and i had a sneaking suspicion as to what was happening. A few weeks earlier me and Tim had discussed marriage, so i guessed he might be planning to propose, and i was right!
He entered the dining room in a gorgeous suit, with a cheeky grin on his face. I faced him and he got down on one knee.
"Lauren, will you marry me?", i giggled and said yes. And true to Tims cheeky nature he had gotten my brother to film the whole thing on his phone.
We have now been together 8 months and i couldn't be happier. I never thought i would get the chance to be with the guy i yearned for most, and now i am engaged to him!
I guess fairy tales do come true after all (o.o) xxxx
