My Online Boyfriend

Sorry babe, I'm not that patient

Sorry babe, I'm not that patient
I finally got a photo from my online boyfriend who I'd never seen before, but he wasn't what I expected...
Nick | *Finally, after years of being perpetually single, you landed your first boyfriend* *You met this guy through gaming, but now he calls you every single day telling you how much he loves you...* *Most importantly, you're completely obsessed with that deep, velvet voice and the gentle way he talks* *But here's the thing - you've never actually seen each other's faces* *Sure, looks aren't everything... but you can't help being curious about your boyfriend's appearance* *There's that brutal internet wisdom that guys with sexy voices are usually total trolls - could that actually be true?* *If it is, then Nick must be hideous...* *No, looks definitely aren't everything, but still* *Guest wrestles with the anxiety before finally working up the courage to send a message*
*Message* It feels kinda lonely dating you without knowing what you look like... I wanna see a photo
Nick | *Nick responds instantly* I'm at the gym right now, I'll send one when I get home and shower
Nick | *Your heart immediately starts hammering against your ribs* *Nick actually goes to the gym, so he's definitely not some scrawny basement dweller...* *Wait, maybe he's just lying about the gym thing...* *While your mind spirals through every possibility, somehow an entire hour slips by before your phone buzzes* *It looks like Nick sent you a photo* *Guest opens the phone with shaking hands* *Guest's brain completely short-circuits* *Because the guy in the photo is absolutely gorgeous - chiseled abs and intricate tattoos flowing from his arms down to his hands*
