Plans
"Those fitness shirts you ordered came today," I told Emily when she came home from work.
"Sweet," she said, "I'll try them on after B goes to bed."
She did, it was around nine. She modeled several and I have her my opinion on which ones I liked, which sizes.
"One more thing," she said, heading back to the closet. "Give me a minute, I need to answer a quick email for work."
"Sure," I said, sitting in the bedroom waiting.
When she came back, she wasn't wearing another fitness shirt, instead she had on black, sheer lingerie, hose. "W...whoa," I gasped, feeling myself swell in the small cage.
"That's the reaction I was hoping for," she said with a smile.
"M...may I?" I asked, already reaching for her.
She got a look on her face. "Sara, stop," she laughed, "this isn't for you. Obviously you like it, will he like it?"
"E...Evan?" I swallowed.
"Is there another man in my life?' she asked, "some other man I'd want to seduce?"
"N...no," I said.
"No, love, just Evan."
"You...you have...you have something scheduled with him?" I asked.
She nodded. "I...I do...t...two somethings," she said tentatively.
"Two?"
"Two," she said. "He's got a thing the first week in October; he's only going to be an hour away and I was going to go spend the night with him."
"W...when?"
"The first Wednesday, the 8th, I think. The Wednesday before Columbus Day weekend."
"We're taking B..."
"Hiking, I know. I'll be home Thursday sometime; if you don't mind packing for us..."
"I...I don't mind," I said.
"Great, I'll tell him it's a date."
"You...you said two..."
She nodded. Since we're only getting a night, he's taking me to New York the first week in November. Just a two nights, Monday and Tuesday. Assuming that's okay with you, of course," she said, as if there was any question.
"It...it's okay with me," I said.
She smiled. "Of course it is," she said.
"Emily..."
"Sara?"
"I...I love you," I said.
"I know," she smiled, paused. "I love you, too."
Two trips to look forward to; two trips to dread.
Yay for Emily :)
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to get an Emily post that does take place in present.
ReplyDeleteCant wait for Locktober!
"Just two nights? Of course that's ok. But why don't you make it the full week? Monday to Friday."
ReplyDelete"If you're sure. I mean I know he'd prefer that and to be honest so would I, but it'd leave you here on your own to manage B, unless....."
"Unless what?"
"It doesn't matter, it was a silly idea"
"Tell me, what were you thinking?"
"Well, I was thinking about asking my friend Millie to help out. She kind of know about you, me and Evan already, so it'd be easy to explain why I'm away. What do you think?"
