I'm bored, so started doing a bit of a story. Just the beginning, and will continue if the feedback demands it...
The gravel cracked as he pulled into the layby. Having scouted the area on Google maps, this seemed like a sensible place to meet. Off the main roads, down a country lane, and with a couple of footpath options to head down, John thought it looked ideal.
He cracked open a window and switched off the ignition. Sunshine beating down, he wasn’t sure he wanted to sit in the car too long – he was clean and smelt good, and didn’t want to sweat too much.
Watching the road and his rear-view mirror like a hawk, he was unsure which direction Beth would approach from. Would she even find it? He had given the GPS coordinates, sent a pic of the map with an arrow, she seemed happy with the location. All he could do was wait and hope.
After what seemed like an age, but realistically only a few minutes he spotted a dark car approaching. Meandering slowly down the lane, the saloon pulled in behind John’s car. He quickly jumped out, and stood by the open door, trying desperately not to stare at the arrival too much.
Their car door opened, and a lady stepped out. Long golden hair draped down over her shoulders, exposed by the thin straps on her summery blue dress. She reached up to her face, and slid her sunglasses down her nose. Tilting her head down slightly, she peered over the top of the rim.
“John?” she asked, her voice sounding quiet and nervous.
“Hi, yes, I’m John. Lucy I presume?” he stuttered, gazing up and down the tall slim figure in front of him. He had only seen photos of her online, and was instantly attracted to her, but all he could think was “Wow, the photos certainly don’t do her justice.”
“I am" she said, with a grin on her face as she looked back at him
