I know this couple on tumblr who go out so I got the idea of the story from them.
Clare grabbed her laptop from her desk and hopped on her bed. She had a Skype date with Eli and quickly signed on patiently waiting for him to accept it. They had a long distance relationship; they had been dating for about eight months. They met online on a social networking site and started talking, eventually Eli started flirting. After doing a couple video chats that were risky considering he was a stranger she did. Eventually, they started going out and couldn't wait for the day they would actually talk in person. She had told her mom briefly about him but Helen never thought it was any serious, so she didn't get t controlling about it. The relationship was definitely hard considering they were in different countries but they made it work by video chatting, texting and calling all the time.
She saw the video chat was loading and Eli's face appeared on her screen, "Hey beautiful."
"Hey." She smiled and comfortably adjusted on the bed.
"How was school?"
"It was okay, I have a test tomorrow I'm not looking forward to, what about you?"
"I didn't go to school today, I was sick earlier with a fever."
"Aww." She pouted. "Are you okay now?"
"Yeah. I took medicine and I'm okay now." She nodded and they continued to talk.
"So guess what?" He said.
"Uhm what? You're scaring me." She slightly laughed.
"I'm coming down to visit you."
"What?" She said as her eyes widened, "You're joking."
"Nope, I got my mom to buy me tickets and I got it for Next Thursday."
"Oh my god, you're kidding this is amazing." She said with a huge smile on my face.
"I really can't wait to kiss you." He said.
She smiled, "And I can't wait either. Isn't the flight so long though? South Carolina to Toronto. Eli, that's a lot of money."
"Clare, don't worry about it. I already got the tickets for the flight." She smiled and nodded, "I'll talk to you later, I'm gonna tell my mom."
"Alright, I love you." They had said their I love you's a little less than a month ago, Eli being the first to do so.
"I love you too. Bye." She canceled the video chat and headed downstairs in her plaid pajama shorts, t shirt and fuzzy slippers.
"Hey mom." Clare said hopping on the couch with her mom.
"Hey sweetie, how are you?"
"I'm really good, so you know how I told you about my boyfriend online?"
"Yes." Helen responded bluntly considering she didn't approve of their relationship.
"Well he brought tickets to come here and come visit me."
"Excuse me?"
"He's coming here to Toronto for me."
"You are not meeting him." Helen said assertively.
"Mom, please. He already brought his ticket."
"Clare, do you not remember what happened with Darcy. I am not having that happen again."
"He's not some creepy guy, I've video chatted him before. He's a normal guy."
"Clare, you're not seeing that guy. I am not risking another daughter's life. It's not happening."
"Mom, I'm not Darcy. I know him. Please."
"Stop asking me Clare. No is my final answer."
"Fine." She sighed and stormed upstairs and grabbed her phone and called Eli.
"Hello?"
"Hey its me."
"What's up? Did you tell your mom?"
"Yeah and she doesn't exactly approve of you coming here."
"Really? So should I cancel my flight?"
"No, I mean I really want you to come, maybe you can get a hotel when you come down here or something. I really want to see you."
"Alright, I'll just get a hotel down there. Why doesn't your mom want me to come?"
"Because she doesn't approve of me meeting a guy from the internet. The same thing happened to my sister about a year ago , she was talking with this guy and the guy showed up to our house and he was this old creeper and yeah."
"Wow, that's….scary. I'm not an old creeper."
"I hope not." She laughed.
"I'll talk to you later. Good night beautiful."'
"Goodnight."
XXXXXX Next Thursday
Eli was coming down to meet up with her later that day. Clare was in class and it was so hard for her to actually concentrate on what the teacher was explaining. She was so anxious and nervous. Would he actually like her in person? How would they react when they first meet? She was squealing of joy as the bell rang.

Clare waited patiently in the airport for Eli. She had to sneak out of her house to come meet him. Her legs shook as she patiently waited for Eli. She tried to dress nice since it was their first time meeting. She wore a casual, floral, strapless dress and some sandals with a cardigan on top, her hair tied up. A voice distracted her from her random thoughts, "Clare."
She looked up to him and smiled, running up to him and slamming her lips to his. Eli softly gripped her waist and plunged his tongue in her mouth. Clare's hand tugged through his hair as she sucked on his lip pulling back.
"I've been waiting so long to do that." He heavily breathed.
She smiled and bit her lip, giving him a chaste kiss, "I can't believe I'm finally meeting you."
"Me either, you're even more beautiful in person."
She stared down at her feet and blushed, "Come on." He followed her and tugged his suitcase. They hailed a cab. They hopped in as the driver left the airport, "What hotel am I staying at?"
"I'm just gonna take you to my house. I'm really hoping my mom would be okay with it if she actually sees you in person."
Eli nodded and interlocked his hands with Clare as they drove to her house. They finally arrived and Clare paid the driver and they walked out.
"She doesn't even know I went to get you so be prepared for her to be upset."
Eli nodded as Clare opened the door and prepared herself for the worst.
Shall I continue?
