The Journey Begins (continued)

So, there i was, in my car, driving toward our scheduled meeting place. To say i was nervous would be a huge understatement. i was terrified. As i drove along my thoughts were jumbled. i was excited to be at last meeting this man who so intrigued me, i was nervous about taking this huge step, and the Baptist part of my brain told me that nice girls do not go to motels to meet strange men, especially men who are into alternative lifestyles. And yet i drove on.
It was a long drive. i stopped once to get something to drink and go to the bathroom. i also wanted to check my hair, makeup and clothes to make sure i wasn't a bedraggled mess. Then i got back in the car to continue my drive. i was not used to driving so far, especially by myself, but it was going really well. i got into town and found the hotel without difficulty.
Now, i would like to stop right here and say i would never, ever tell anyone submissive, Dominant, or otherwise to go to a hotel with someone the first time they meet. i was very lucky. In another post i will discuss more fully what i did wrong, and what He did right at our first meeting.
When i arrived at the hotel, i went to the desk and asked if the man i was meeting had checked in yet. The man at the desk informed me that it was too early to check in and he didn't know if the man i was meeting was there yet. So, i sat in the lobby shaking, a bundle of nerves and waited. i wasn't sure how long i would have to wait, i was afraid that maybe He wasn't coming. i had read on-line that sometimes people will plan to meet and one of them changes their mind and doesn't show up.
As i sat there in the lobby waiting, suddenly i saw someone coming down the hall. i had seen His picture, so i was pretty sure it was Him, but i couldn't speak. Then He spoke to me, and it was Him. He suggested that since it was too early to check in that we go to the hotel restaurant and have lunch. i agreed.
We went in, sat down and the waitress took our order. It was a buffet, so we went up and got some food. i was still very nerous, so i kind of picked at my food. When i'm nervous one of two things happen, either i become very quiet, or i talk incessantly. On this occassion, although i don't remember it very well, i'm told i chattered like a magpie, lol. He tells me i gave Him my whole life story during that lunch.
By the time we had finished our lunch, it was time to check in. We went to the desk and got our key. Then we headed for our room. It was time to spend our first night together, but that is a story for another time.
