Buzz...buzz...buzz... I reach into my scrub pocket and feel the incoming text message light up my phone. I excuse myself from the clinic huddle, we are just going over the schedule for Monday. I slip around the hallway, and duck into the bathroom. I shut and lock the door behind me before opening my phone... I see a message from you, seeing your number come up on my phone brings butterflies of excitement to my stomach, fighting the urge to do a happy dance... Curious about what you could be texting me for, since you know I'm almost done with work for the day...
Message reads:
"When you get home, take a shower, wear what has been laid out on your bed, do light natural looking makeup, and be ready by 6pm. Dinner is at 7pm at Jesse's. Don't be late. Drive safely, no speeding!"
I read your message a couple of times... No, that can't be right... You can't possibly be here... There is just no way... Wait, how could you have laid clothes out on my bed?? I know that one of my roommates is working; we car-pooled together this morning... Must have been the other one... Would he really have let you into our home, never mind my bedroom... Oh no, my bedroom!! I don't know if I made my bed this morning or tidy up my bedroom before leaving for work... A little panic sets it, but then disappears, there is no way either of my roommates would let anyone into my bedroom.
I reply back to you... "Yes Sir. Will do. See you there." I slip out of the bathroom and return to the huddle that is still going on, now with bickering about who is going to cover two providers because of some staffing issues. My thoughts are not focused on the huddle, but about the you being in my room and what you might have picked out for me. Finally with the huddle concluded and I leave everyone to go get ready to leave for the day.
As usual, my roommate is politely waiting for me, windows down and the music going. I walk over to the car and climb into the passenger side. We do our usual "how was your day bit" on the ride home. Comparing stories about our days' worth of work, and occasionally bitching about what to make for dinner.
My roommate and I get home and are greeted by our other roommate, her bf, in the living room. "You have a letter on the table there Pixie" he says as he gives my roommate a kiss to welcome her home... Aww how sweet! I see the letter and pick it up. I open it up to see you have written small instructions:
Time is ticking, you better get ready!
I look up at them and start to dash up to my room, yelling back to them, "You two have a good night; I need to head out tonight." I can hear my roommate explaining to the other about how I had a visitor and won't be home until late tonight. Laughter is heard throughout the whole house...
I get up to my room and slowly open the door. The first thing I notice are the flowers sitting on my desk... Not roses, but a beautiful arrangement of my favorite flowers... Lilies, purple and white... I see a card came with them...
"Stop procrastinating! Take your shower. Get ready!"
This causes me to giggle, you know me so well and how easily distracted I get. I drop my back pack at the foot of my bed, strip out of my scrubs, wrap my towel around me and make a dash for the bathroom...
I hurry my shower as fast as I can, making sure I get all the scent of hospital off of me. Lathering myself in this tropical scented body wash... My thoughts go back to the flowers, a thought that means a lot, especially how they are my fav... Focus girl! Turning the water off, grabbing my towel and rushing to get dry. I look at the clock 5:30... Shit! I need to hustle, he did say be ready by 6pm...
Racing back to my bedroom, I go to my bed and see what you have picked out for me... Matching black lace bra and panty set, which was expected, it's one of your favorite sets for me to wear... And pair of really dark blue jeans, my red halter corset top, and stilettos. Looking down at the outfit, I'm surprised you showed such restraint and allowed me to wear blue jeans and not leggings with that top. Smiling because you know how self-conscious I am. I quickly throw on the outfit, struggle with the stilettos, hoping I don't trip in them... That's the last thing I need, trip and break my ankle before getting to dinner. Looking at myself in the mirror, happy with what I'm wearing, I throw my hair up in my usual pixie bun, bangs swept off to the side and makeup donned, light natural as instructed.
Racing back down through the living room, my roommates giving me cat calls', making me blush, which just adds to how I'm feeling. I get in my car, 6:00 right on the dot. Damn, I'm good! I see a sticky note on my steering wheel which reads:
Good girl! Right on time...
I pull into the parking lot at Jesse's... After working all day and then driving up here, I should have been tired, but between the text message, the flowers, and the shower, I have the new burst of energy surging through me... I walk through the door to the restaurant... The hostess looks up at me asking if there is a reservation... I pause, nervous because I don't know what the reservation would be under, but I take a stab in the dark... "He probably reserved it under Pixie?" The hostess searches through the list and looks back up smiling with a very polite, "Follow me please."
Relief flows through me as I follow the hostess... Can't begin to imagine how embarrassing it would be if I was late to dinner for not knowing who the reservation was under... I continue to follow the hostess to a private area off to the side. I see you sitting there, waiting for me... I pause, smile at you and turn to the hostess, telling her that I can manage the rest of the way, thanking her for her help... Turning back to you I see you are standing now, I rush over, arms wrapping around you for our embrace. Your hug warm, solid... Your grip on me firm, sending me shivers and goose bumps all over me. You pull back from our embrace.. You cup the left side of my face with your hand before leaning down and kiss me... And not just a light kiss, this kiss is deep... I can feel your need, your tongue pushing into my mouth, devouring me... You pull back with a smile on your face and kiss the top of my forehead. "Good girl, you arrived on time."
Sitting across the table from you in torture... Trying to focus on what I should order is impossible. Still in shock that you're here at Jesse's... You're sitting there very relaxed, like we've done this a bunch of times... How are you able to sit there so chill? I sneak a glance at you over my menu. You are already looking at me, I blush instantly... "How long have you been looking at me?" I ask you. You raise an eyebrow at me, as if waiting for me to continue my question. You just continue to look at me, your eyes piercing right through me. I feel my self-control starting to slip... "I'm sorry... How long have you been looking at me... Sir??"
"Long enough to know that you have read the same page of that menu at least three times." You tease. I feel my cheeks get warm, just confirming how right you are in that statement. "Have you figured out what you are going to have little one?"
