I am kneeling in the hallway by the front door just as she told me to wait. Naked with the little silver chain attached to the rings in my nipples head bowed looking at the floor and hands palms down on my knees. She is due home anytime now her flight landed on time.
The clock has chimed 6 pm I have been kneeling here since 4 the exact time her flight was expected to land. She has landed where is she? Did she decide to not come back to me? Did I make her angry while she was away? I think back to all the phone calls during this trip. No they were normal My Mistress was pleased with how well I have been handling being apart. I followed all her instructions everything from allowing her partner full access to me to cleaning practically everything and reporting to her after every instruction was followed. Dinner is all prepared just as she asked.
Should I sneak a look at the clock? I am not supposed to I should be looking at the floor. A slight noise outside causes me to stir in anticipation is that the taxi? No not yet. Maybe a quick glance at the clock. I turn my head to the right almost 7. I have been kneeling here for three hours. There is a cramp in my left foot and my right leg is completely numb. She is not coming. The clock chimes 7 and tears are beginning to slide from my eyes as I imagine that my Mistress has decided to end our relationship after only a year. A few more minutes and I have decided that I need to get up. But I was told to wait just like this. The pain in my foot is nothing compared to the ache in my heart.
I raise my eyes and look at the door willing it to open. Nothing. Tears are falling to the tile floor making little spots and I think "I need to clean that before she arrives."
But she is not coming. I am resigned to this fact. I have done something wrong and it is over. A small sob escapes me and I rise from my kneeling position. Slowly I turn my back to the door and begin to walk to my room just as the door opens. I whirl around cheeks wet with tears to see the face of my Mistress. "I am disappointed in you slave. I told you how you should await my return and I find you have disobeyed me. Has all the training I gave you been ignored? Do you wish for this to be over?"
"Mistress I believed you were not coming, I was upset that I may have done something wrong and I decided that you must have decided to leave me" My voice is trembling after all this time I should have known, I should have trusted her. She had never given me any reason not to trust her. Why did I not just wait?
I returned to my knees, palms down on my knees and head bowed looking at the tiles.
"perhaps I should leave since you do not trust my word." The words are spoken low and there is an edge of anger.
