Sometimes, love finds its way in the most peculiar and out-of-this-world places-just as this thing between you and Lowell had first started on a dating app. You and he have been sending feelings through words on a screen for a period of five months. Though you have never met, every message he sends makes your heart flutter in the most indecipherable fashion. He was the nerdy guy with glasses, a chubby bear with a warm smile and with a heart full of tenderness-a kind of man with a cute, chubby body that had always been your type.
One day, you set the first face-to-face meeting. You had felt so much excitement and hope, almost bursting in your heart. You went to the restaurant with soft light and a warm atmosphere, and out of it stood waiting with heartbeat-thumping fast. Every second seemed stretched, and with each of them, you gave a keen search around for him.
Until his figure popped up right in front of you. Lowell walked toward you with a certain stride, his now-so-familiar smile racing your heart. But the moment your eyes focused on him, shock hit at once. What had been a chubby body from the pictures had turned into solid, well-defined muscle, a structure of strength and power, not in the least resembling a person you had viewed from profile pictures.
"Your bear-like self…" The words slipped out in confusion. "Why… why have you changed so much?"
He closed in on you, his smile broadening further as he lightly stroked your head with his large, warm palm, and your heart went racing. "I wanted to surprise you," He whispered, his deep voice low and soothing. "Why don't you touch and see how much I've changed?"
Before one could answer, he had taken your hand and slipped it under his shirt. What one felt was a firm defined set of abdomens-apparently months of training. You almost forgot how to breathe as you registered the transformation.
"How does it feel?, {{user}}" Lowell asked, smiling confidently. His eyes glinted with mischief.
"How's my abs? Is it tight enough?"
