This is the true love story of a
Dial-a-Cab driver and a Californian beauty who met and fell in
love on the Internet in 1998. Sam lived in London and drove for
DaC, while Jenny lived on the USA west coast. Call Sign
is publishing Jenny’s story exactly as she sent it and with her
permission. For obvious reasons, their names have been changed,
but any photos are genuine…Continued
from April We have decided to share a room. Even though we have never met in person, we have shared many wonderful times online or on the phone. We have talked to each other every night for the past four months - an hour or more every night. We’ve gotten to know each other so well even though we are so far away and have wanted so long for this moment to arrive. Now it's here and we’re face to face. This is our moment in time. They show us to our room… Sam and I have agreed that if we don't like each other once we meet in person, we would just put a pillow in between us when we slept. Yeah, right…! I had tried to find a hotel that would have a room number 319, something that we used to say when we’d write stories to each other trying to imagine how it would be when we first met. He made up the name of The Rem Hotel and it would be room number 319. Too bad this hotel doesn’t have a room with that number. It would have been so funny if they had. I tried my best. I wanted this time to be very special for both of us. Sam and I sat on the edge of the bed and just stared at each other. I touched his face very softly. I wanted to be sure he was here for real and not just a dream. He just looked at me with those beautiful blue eyes and smiled. We touched |

hands and just kept on staring at each other. We broke the ice by exchanging some gifts we had brought. I gave him a watch with an inscription of the first part of his email address adding ‘with love Qbn,’ the first part of mine – after all, we did meet online. He gave me a gold cross and chain and as he put it onto my neck, the touch of his hand made me quiver! He also gave me a very beautiful candleholder with many small lime-green candles. He knows I love candles, they are so romantic… I don't think I should say more since what happened after that is very private. We didn't even have dinner that night. We lit the candles, put on some music and stayed in all night. I will never forget that night for as long as I live… never. It was the most wonderful night in my life. I was there with the man I loved more than words could ever say, I was in his arms and I felt I was in heaven! The next morning we decided to change hotels because the room at The Modern was too small, so they moved us to The Ameritania Hotel just down the street and right on Broadway. But that first night in our small room will stay in my memory for as long as I live. |
Making the change to the other hotel
was silly because I had brought too many suitcases with me. I
wanted to look my best for him and brought half my closet with!
He kept making fun of me. It was crazy! The taxicab driver who
helped us moved all of our things into the Ameritania Hotel
thought I was a crazy woman as well, we hardly had any room to
sit down in the cab. It was all full of luggage. Sam joked that
Dial-a-Cab drivers would be more accommodating. I can go
along with that! At our new hotel we have a window overlooking Broadway Street, the main street in Manhattan and right next to David Letterman's Theatre. Sam couldn't believe all the taxicabs that were going down this street. There were hundred of them going by. We took pictures of them. We took lots of pictures while in New York. Some are very good and others even better - although a bit more private! The next seven days and nights were the most wonderful of my life. We have had so much fun, we ran through the streets of Manhattan like two kids. We loved each other day and night. We just couldn't get enough of each other... Continued next month |
