Almost four years ago, I fell in love for the first time--twenty-five years too late--and began an affair. Over the years, Kevin and I have met several times a week and email several times a day. I have kept almost all of the emails that I sent to him and that he sent to me. Along the way, there has been laughter and tenderness and heat...and heartache.

This blog is the posting of our daily emails. It chronicles the lives of two people over a four year period so far, and tells the story of our burgeoning love against the backdrop of New York City.

The names and addresses have been changed to protect the innocent; the rest is 100% real.

The daily update structure helps keep the blog as authentic as possible as well as living up to its title. It also strives to provide the reader with the kind of pleasure that a soap opera offers--a daily dose of voyeuristic fun.

Please begin at the beginning, otherwise, little will make sense.

Enjoy.

Just Call Me Bikey

Good morning, SNB:

I didn't know you were going to be up so late last night, otherwise I wouldn't have bid you good-night so early : ) still, you may not have been able to chat.
 
Anyway, I have a bit of bad news. I don't think we should meet on Friday. He's only going to lunch with people at work. I don't know (neither does he) whether they'll keep him there as a mini orientation or not. He's going to start his job soon (fingers crossed) so we can meet in peace hopefully, but this week is a little crazy, because he really wants to have a vacation at home before starting work. So, he's always around me.
 
He has never expressed an interest or researched vacation spots on the net with me. I always do that by myself although in the past I would've liked for him and me to do that together. Yesterday, he wouldn't budge from standing behind me when I was looking at houses in Italy. Finally, I had to bring up all the not looking with me of the past, and tell him to stop looking over my shoulder and pull up a chair if he wanted to. He finally went away. So, you see it's like that. I can barely breathe. But we should definitely be good for Tuesday. I completely blanked out, weren't we supposed to meet at Gaslight on Thursday? It seems like a really lively place. It will probably be good on a summer Thursday. I like the privacy we get there, because I really want to have my hands all over you, and my mouth occupied with a lot better taste than food. But you're really good at finding places, so it's absolutely your call.

I love you,

XOXOXO

Good morning HFG,

Too bad about Friday.  I am glad I still get you on Thursday and Tuesday.  Gaslight is good, but let me look around.  I have a few days to look.  I don't blame him for wanting to spend time with you.  I feel the same.  You are hot. 

I fell asleep last night.  When I wrote my brain was foggy.  Chatting would have been difficult.  I probably wouldn't have made any sense.

I am off to ride my bike in the park.  My legs have been tired lately.  I hope riding is better for them than running.

Enjoy the beautiful day.  I love you and miss you.

XOXOX

SNB

I love and miss you too. I wish we could do all these fun things together like riding bikes or seeing movies. But it is what it is my love. So, go enjoy riding your bike on this beautiful day. You should see this movie from 2003 called The Triplets of Belleville. It's animated, but for adults and it's all about loving to ride bikes. It's French, but because it's animated reading of subtitles are minimal if any.

I love you and miss you more.  Wish I was riding you!

I don't love riding or running for that matter.  I think I do it because I hate it so much.  It makes everything else seem easy.  It is a lovely day.  The park was crowded.  I saw two accidents.  One guy was ok although he was scared shi*less.  The other was a two ambulance job.  Yikes.  Riding is very dangerous.  I don't get the exercise I could because I am very careful.  I just got a new helmet last week.  Safety first, last and always.  Now that I have a HFG I have a new reason to stay healthy.

XOXOXOX

SNB

If you say that to me, I'll have to come to dinner with a scarf : ) If it weren't so unattractive, I would just to freak you out! Once I bought a sari and wore it around town. I always wanted to do that in India, but since I don't know whether I will ever get there, I figured I'll buy one from queens. The shop girls thought I was nuts, but hey, one can be worse things.

That's why I never ride my bike fast. Everyone passes me and my family laughs at me, but I go slow and steady. Now, I feel justified!

Don't worry, you'll get to ride me soon enough. I'm much more comfortable and I won't make any part chafe or ache : ) just call me bikey.

Have to go, to your neighborhood actually, to see Woody Allen's move about Rome at Lincoln Cinemas or some such place.

I love you and I can't wait to see you!!!!!

Hey HFG,

I don't care what you wear.  I know what is underneath.  Do you recognize the holiday at all?

That will be a great ride.  I am looking forward to it.

Love you gorgeous.  See you soon.

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town ?
I'm counting on you, Lord, please don't let me down.
Prove that you love me and buy the next round,
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town ?

I find you telling me that you know what's underneath so hot. It's so sexy that you know, you've seen. I do recognize the holiday or rather the month long fasting. Only the lower classes actually fasted when I was a kid, and many ate the portion they are supposed to give to the poor at iftar, or after sun down when they can eat. The true Persian holiday, my holiday, free of Islamic crap, is the Persian New Year or Norooz, which means new day. It's ancient and pagan and I celebrate it with wine and poetry as opposed to the koran and vinegar. I'll tell you about it when I see you.

XOXOXO

My friends all drive porsches, I must now make amends. 

That is a classic.  She always seemed so happy.  I am sure she wasn't.  Her voice is the best ever.  If only....

You are so beautiful.  I can't wait to see your pretty face.  We have some serious kissing to do.

XOXOXO
