Lori knew Donna was on the other side of the door, she could hear her moving. She wished she would open up and let her in. She had decided to obey her, she had won; Lori was risking everything and Donna was making her wait.
Finally the door opened but the clang of the door chain echoed through the alcove. Donna ordered Lori to pass her shoes and clothes through the opening. She quickly picked up the items and pushed them through the gap. As she readied herself to ask her Mistress to let her in she was startled by the sound of the door closing. Waiting for the noise of the chain being unhooked, Lori soon realized it was not happening.
After a few minutes Lori heard a noise from the bottom of the door. An envelope, with the Resort's address on the corner was pushed under the door. Lori quickly opened it and found two one dollar bills and a note.
Pet,
I am thirsty. Get me a Diet Coke.
Lori stared at the note. Thoughts ran through her mind, where was the coke machine?, did it take dollars?, what would she say if she were caught? Lori remembered seeing the machines by the pool. It was past 11 P.M. so the area should be deserted. If she was caught she would say she got locked out of her room and her roommate was a heavy sleeper. She looked around the corner and all seemed quiet. She dashed across the lawn towards the pool. It was still warm out and the grass felt damp on her bare feet.
As she neared to vending machines she heard voices and she quickly hid behind some bushes in the shadows. Some teenage boys stopped at the machines and bought some sodas and snacks. There were three of them and they pulled some chairs out from the lawn furniture and sat down. Lori could feel her muscles begin to tighten as she waited and waited. It was over thirty minutes when she heard a familiar voice.
"Excuse me boys, have you seen a women with brown hair around?"
One of the boys spoke up, "Sorry Lady, we have been here for awhile and we haven't seen anyone. This place sucks. It closes down by eleven o'clock. She your daughter?"
Donna laughed, "Well, she is my Pet, but she is actually older then me."
"What do you mean, your, your pet?" asked the apparent spokesman of the group.
"Let's just say she likes to do things for me and I sent her here over an half hour ago to get me a Diet Coke. I am getting a bit angry with her insolence."
Donna noticed the curious looks on the boys faces, when one of the others asked, "What does she look like, we can tell her you are pissed if we run into her."
"Boys, if you saw here you would recognize her. She is bare ass naked."
The three boys sat upright in the seats and all asked questions at once. Donna laughed and said the woman had lost a bet and had to go get the drink nude. Donna said she suspected she was probably nearby waiting for the boys to leave. She raised her voice and said she was probably listening to them at this moment.
Lori didn't know what to do. Did Donna expect her to walk out into the light with these three adolescents standing there? Or was she just making things more risky.
Donna, still speaking loud, told the boys her room number and said if they found her they were to tell her Miss Donna ordered her to return to the room with the boys. Donna turned on her heels and walked away.
The boys continued to chat, not sure whether to believe the lady or not. The bigger of the three boys suggested two of them start to walk the perimeter of the pool area while the third guarded the vending area. They agreed and the two started out directly towards the hedge where Lori was hiding. She could not see how they would miss her and if she ran. If she did they were certainly faster than her and the ruckus they would make would surely bring hotel management out. What was she to do?
When they were less then five feet away Lori spoke from behind the hedge, "Stop right there."
The startled two boys halted and listened to Lori.
"One of you boys throw me your T-shirt. If you don't I will start screaming that you boys stripped my clothes off and were going to rape me. Who do you think they will believe, you or a naked crying older woman?"
"Your friend, Miss Donna, told us this is a game, we will tell them that. Now let us see you, we won't touch you, I promise."
