It has been several days since I have heard from "Sir Yummy," as I've come to think of him. The weekend came and went in peaceful relaxation, although I did find myself thinking more than once of the encounter with Sir Yummy and squirming restlessly.
Now it is Tuesday and I'm starting to think it was all just an illusion, just a nice little tease. Perhaps I wasn't all that interesting, after all. Yet, even as I think these thoughts I feel my body respond. He said I would, should. Said? No, he commanded it. Apparently my body feels the need to follow his commands even when my head wants to forget all about him.
Lost in thought, I find myself jumping when my cell pings with a text message. I fish the phone out of my purse and gasp when I see the message from an unknown number.
"Meet me at the front door of your office at 12:00 sharp. You will need to schedule a two hour lunch today."
Tiny shivers run up my spine and I feel my juices begin to flow again. I reach a shaky hand towards my phone and buzz my secretary, barking out the sharp order to reschedule my appointments from 12:00 to 2:00 today.
I should have known Becca wouldn't just let it go at that, because it didn't take her even thirty seconds to come barreling through my office door.
"Ok Boss, spill... what's going on?" She demands.
I attempt to play cool and coy and ask why anything needs to be going on, but she persists by telling me that I rarely take a lunch, never a long lunch, and have never requested appointments be rescheduled in order to do so.
With an impatient sigh I tell her to just mind her own business, it's personal.
"Well," she says, "I hope it has something to do with that beautiful man that Anna told me about yesterday."
I just look at her, giving her a cold stare until she begins to slowly back out of the office. I think I hear some mumbling about a rod being removed from my ass, but can't be sure so I let it slide.
I try to ignore the time and get back to work, but I just can't concentrate. I sit and practically daydream until it's nearly past time to meet him. I grab my bag and rush out of the office, realizing I only have two minutes to make the long trip through the office and down to the lobby area.
The wait for the elevator eats up most of the time so I find myself running through the lobby like my hair is on fire. I do not want him to think I'm not coming and leave again. I look through the silver glassed windows and see him standing outside the front entrance and glancing at his watch. I can't be more than a few seconds late, surely.
I slow myself down, take a few deep breaths and push through the rotating door, smiling brightly at him. He only nods in acknowledgment and begins to walk away, leaving me no choice but to follow.
"Where are we going?" I ask. He does not answer.
"Am I dressed appropriately?" I ask. Again, he does not answer.
"Why do I need two whole hours for lunch?" I ask. Again... he does not answer.
I finally give up with a shrug and just follow, enjoying the view of his long legged stride eating up the sidewalk. This is a man to be reckoned with, I'm certain of it now. Then I laugh at my own thoughts... as if I weren't certain of that at our first meeting.
Finally, he slows his steps and walks into a small café, one of those beautifully cozy places with simple table clothes and the smell of fresh food emanating from behind swinging doors. He leads me to a table and quickly places an order for his lunch, saying that I will only have a glass of water.
I look at him questioningly and then state that I am hungry also. He nods and says that I will eat soon, but not here and not with him. Then he begins to tell me what today's meeting is about.
"When you leave here," he says, "you are to go shopping... any store you wish, but you need some new clothes. I believe you need some clothes that are more feminine, gentle, and worthy of your beauty. I do not like seeing you in these uptight, manly clothes."
"But they are for business," I stammer.
"Sir," he says, "you have not addressed a single question or statement today in the proper manner. Have you forgotten your first lesson so quickly, girl? The proper statement is 'But they are for business, Sir.' But that is a moot point anyway, it was an argumentative statement and you will not make argumentative statements towards me again, understand girl?"
"Yes, Sir," I reply quietly.
"Okay," he continues, "now that that's cleared up, today you will shop for more appropriate dress for a lady. You will text me every time you enter or leave a store and will also take photos of everything you try on. You will shop, but I will make the selections. Do you understand, girl?"
"Umm, yes Sir." I stammer.
"What aren't you understanding, girl. That didn't sound very confident." He asks.
"Well, are you saying that you will pick out my new clothing today, Sir?" I ask.
"Yes, girl, today I will select your new clothing. And from now on, anytime you dress, you will send me a photo and then kneel down in your submissive position and await my approval."
"My submissive position, Sir?" I ask. I know I am starting to sound like a little parrot, but I'm getting more confused as this conversation continues.
His answer startles me, however. He continues by stating that when I get home tonight I should spend time doing some research on submissive positions. When I feel that I have achieved the proper position, I am to take a pic and send it to him.
My head is swimming and I mutter another "Yes Sir". Will I ever be able to say anything other than those two words to this man?
Then he tells me to go, get busy on my tasks. The funny thing is... I do. I'm excited to get started, excited to please Sir Yummy and hopeful for another "good girl" from him.
I begin to enter a small boutique that I've only previously window shopped before, then catch myself and pause to hit "reply" and type a quick message... "Entering Alana's Boutique." And hit send. Then type a quick "Sir" and hit send again. I step into the store and smile when I receive a reply to my texts. There it is, my simple "Good girl."
I spend the next hour shopping, trying on dresses, sending pictures and dividing the options up according to his yes or no answer. In the end I walk out of my new favorite store with a half dozen new dresses, shoes to match and even lingerie. I cannot believe I texted him pics of myself trying on lingerie. But with each good girl text I yearned even more to please him.
I finish my day in a wave of content. Not even a hiccup on a big account fazed me. I just smiled and kept working on it, working towards 5:00 so I could rush home and find out what this submissive position was all about. At 5:00 I head out of the office and pause only long enough to zip a quick "leaving work" text.
