23 hours, the damn flight had taken 23 excruciating hours, Taylor had passed through more time zones than he could count, the grumpy fella in the seat next to him wasn't in the mood for talking, a 4-year-old kid had been behind him kicking his seat the whole time.... but it would all be worth it when he met the person he'd come to see.
He'd flown all the way from Melbourne, Australia, to Belfast, Northern Ireland, and it was all for the girl of his dreams: Lauren.
For the past six months, the two of them had been in a long-distance relationship after meeting online, the two of them had a lot in common, but the greatest of their similarities was without a doubt their love of bondage, in fact, they had met on a site dedicated to Tie Up Games. For hours upon hours every day, the two young lovers would converse, about how Taylor would tie her up, how she would love to feel his embrace as she stood bound and gagged in his arms, how he would do anything to make her happy and she would do the same for him. And everything became that little more exciting when Taylor came to Lauren with exciting news, he'd saved up enough money for a trip to Belfast! As she read the words Lauren almost fainted, finally the boy she'd fantasised about for months was coming, they were finally going to meet. Taylor meanwhile couldn't organise the trip fast enough.... All through the trip he thought of her, her flowing blonde locks, that radiant smile, her soulful eyes, and exactly what he was going to do with her perfect, kissable lips.
Today was the day, Lauren thought as she stood in front of her bathroom mirror, the lovely blonde had put on one of her favourite outfits. All sorts of thoughts were running through her head, at the back of her mind she hoped Taylor wouldn't turn out to be a fifty-year-old man with a beer gut, but she shrugged that off and took another look at the picture he'd sent her, a tall, good-looking guy, with short brown hair, piercing blue eyes, and overall a kind face. She smiled before stepping out the door, she was off to the airport....
Passing through the terminal, dragging his bag behind him, Taylor anxiously scanned the crowd for the beautiful face he'd seen in all the pictures Lauren had sent him, he'd memorised her face well, but still figured that in real life she might look a little different. All over the place there were families greeting loved ones, couples hugging and kissing, friends and business associates shaking hands, groups of girls squealing and hugging as they reunited, but no sign of the blonde beauty he'd been conversing with for months. Setting his bag down for a moment, Taylor did a slow scan of the whole area around him, picking out every blonde girl he could see: too skinny, too short, not as pretty, boobs too big, too tall, too American.... giving a big sigh, Taylor was about to continue through the airport when a certain figure caught his eye.
Yes, that was it, it had to be her! Taylor laid eyes upon the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen, he took out his phone, and took a second look at the photos he had of her: the hair, the eyes, the figure. Yes, he concluded, that's her alright. Taylor had an idea to confirm Lauren's identity, during their relationship, Taylor had come up with a pet name for his gorgeous partner, one that only he and Lauren would know, so he approached the gorgeous blonde from behind, blending in with the crowd as though he were living an Assassin's Creed game, and as she scanned the crowd anxiously looking for him, he leaned over and muttered in her ear.
"How you doin' angel face?"
Lauren's face lit up with that bright amazing smile, and she whipped her head around so fast she almost whacked him in the eyes with her hair, there he was, the tall, kind-looking young man she'd been waiting for, in all his awkward glory as he stood there with his jeans, t-shirt, backpack and travel bag. Lauren couldn't resist, and neither could he, they leaped forward and embraced each other in the warmest and most tender of hugs, this lasted for what seemed like an eternity, Taylor rested his chin on her head, their skin tingled as they held each other, she lay her head against his chest, he was so warm and gentle, exactly how she imagined him. Taylor broke the embrace for a minute.
"You're Lauren I gather?"
The pair of them burst into laughter
"Ha ha ha, of course I am you big fool!"
"Heh heh! Then you won't mind if I-"
"Not at all, mister, go right ahead"
Taylor had wanted to do this from the moment he first saw her face, he gathered the beautiful girl up in his arms, leaned in and pressed his lips against hers, not caring who was around them, what country they were in, or what day or month or year it was. It was just the two of them in a moment of passion they'd been dreaming of since they first admitted their feelings for one another. After an eternity, their lips (and tongues) parted.
"Wow..... you have no idea how long I've wanted to do that babe"
"Probably as long as I have sweetie"
The pair of them took this pause to take each other in, Lauren was immediately drawn to Taylor's soft blue eyes, he wasn't the biggest in terms of physique, but it wasn't athleticism she was after, she had to admit she expected him to have an exaggerrated Crocodile Dundee sort of accent, but really he just sounded like an average Aussie, he clearly wasn't fussed about his appearance, or the fact that it was winter in Belfast, clearly he hadn't stepped outside yet since he was only wearing a black t-shirt and simple blue jeans. Overall, Lauren got the impression that this was just a simple guy, with a simple attitude, not caring what others thought of him, but willing to do anything for anyone else. He had supported her through all sorts of tough times including her exams, and encouraged her all the way, when she'd been in a car accident a few months prior, he instantly worried for her safety, saying he'd be heartbroken if anything happened to her, Lauren could tell, this young man truly cared about her.
Taylor admired the beauty of his blonde companion, awe-struck, he could see from her fur-lined coat that he probably had dressed wrong for the time of year, he saw a girl who took pride in her appearance, yet who was humble about her beauty, she'd been picked on in the past, but nowadays nobody could push her around, she came off as confident yet shy, outgoing, but not a show-off, he'd wondered all the while what her voice sounded like, but was unsurprised at the calm, soothing tone of her voice, her high-pitched light-hearted words instantly putting him at ease and her Irish accent not as thick as he'd imagined. Taylor had been in love with this girl for months, but now he'd laid eyes on her for real, he doubted he would ever want to return to Melbourne. The one thing Taylor had noticed more than anything during their time chatting on the site was how caring and kind she was, he'd gotten sick, and she was there the whole time telling him he'd get better, her friends needed her help, and she was more than willing to give it, in Taylor's eyes, this girl truly was an angel.
"Can.... I take your backpack for you sweetie?"
"Oh, it's ok I've got it, thanks though."
The pair smiled sweetly as they proceeded through the airport, talking all the way up to Lauren's car, Taylor shivering in the Irish breeze as he realised the error of just wearing a shirt, Lauren laughing as she handed him a coat from the back seat. Soon they were driving through the streets of Belfast, keen to see what led from here...
"So babe, I've been wondering..."
"Yeah?"
"When did you wanna try... you know?"
Taylor hoped he wasn't bringing this up too soon, bondage had been the reason they met in the first place, he'd fantasised about her for as long as he could think, wondering if she fantasised about him too, but realistically they'd only just met, and he didn't want to rush things, but still, he thought it was worth bringing up.
".... you mean do bondage together babe?"
"Yeah pretty much"
Lauren felt her heart skip a beat, she wanted this more than anything, she was glad he asked, but didn't want to rush things either.
"Well, we roleplayed together a lot on the site, so we could take it up a notch tonight... try it for real"
"That's fine with me if it is with you babe"
Lauren's hand wandered over to Taylor's leg, giving his thigh a good squeeze....
"It certainly is sweetie"
