Internet Cafe Chance encounter

My computer broke down and I went to a net cafe and the man on the computer next to me said "EXCUSE ME, BUT ARE YOU ON RSVP?" I said "YES!" He then asked, "WHAT IS YOUR NAME THERE AND I'LL LOOK YOU UP!?". I asked him "why? WHEN I'M RIGHT HERE NOW!" He then proceeded to ask me to have dinner with him next door. We went into the restaurant and stayed about 4 hours, laughing and eating, and then tried to walk into town to have coffee somewhere different, but it was too far so we went back.

We passed a late night florist and he bought me an orchid. He travels a lot with his work and brings me back exotic jewellery. He has lots of animals and I have never had any more than one cat and a budgie at any one time, so when we are together at his place, it is, to me, a wonderfully unusual and new experience to have a bunch of animals circling around me whenever I walk and then whenever I sit down, they all settle down around me. I was an indoor type before I met him but he is an outdoor type and I am learning to change. He taught me to ride a motor bike. We are both still on RSVP because we love seeing photos of people we recognise, and reading the stuff they say about themselves. It has been a year now since we met but because of his travelling, we have not spent a huge amount of time in each other's company, but keep in touch by phone and emails. We don't know for sure what the future holds for us but do know that we will know each other forever.
