I'm sitting at my vanity when I hear the front door unlock with a clumsy sounding click. I look at my phone. 8:31 pm. It must be Little Red. She's eerily punctual, as per usual.
A cheery, bright voice calls down the hallway. "Hello? Misty? Anyone home?"
"Just in here! Oh, and while you're out there, pour two glasses of wine for us, would you? The wine's chilling in the fridge. You should be able to find a corkscrew in the drawer."
"Will do!"
I turn back to the mirror and listen to her make herself at home in the kitchen. She struggles a bit with removing the cork, from the sounds of it. I run my fingers along my brows and rub my lips together to smooth out the dark red lipstick (a gift from Little Red herself). I fluff out my hair, being careful not to fuck up the dark brown curls.
"Wine. Just as The Mistress commanded."
Little Red was sneaky. I didn't hear her come down the hall. She was standing in the doorway to my bedroom with a little silver serving tray carrying wine glasses and the half empty bottle of wine. She had a cute little smirk on her face. "Permission to enter, m'lady?"
"Ooo, service with a smile. Get in here, you."
She expertly delivered the tray to me and set down a full wine glass onto the vanity. "Looks like all those years of waitressing are paying off. Didn't spill a drop."
"Lucky for you... if you had of spilled any of it I might have had to give you a little punishment."
"Oh, no! I wouldn't want that!" She gave me another one of her half smiles and set down the tray on a nearby side table, but not before taking her own (very full) glass of wine. She settles down on the floor by my feet and gazes up at me. "So, what's on the agenda tonight? A hot date?"
"For your information, yeah, that's exactly what's up. The same guy from last week. Said he'd take me out for drinks."
"I hope you accidentally get hammered."
"What do you mean... accidentally? That's exactly what my plan is. I mean... he's paying, so may as well, right?"
She laughs and takes a healthy sip of her wine. "What time is the date, then? When will you be kicking me out?" She puts on a mock pout.
"Not for a while yet. Besides, I may go a little late. Make him wait. Give him time to get excited." I start to add some blush to my cheekbones. I take a healthy sized swallow from my glass. I leave behind a red lipstick print on the glass.
"You're bad."
"Mmm. You know it." I take the cover off my lipstick and add another layer.
"Your legs look ridiculously soft. Can I... touch them?" I nod. She lightly glides her fingers up my shinbones. "How.. how is this even possible. What do you use?"
"Oh, you know... razors... gel..." I'm distracted. I can't find my mascara. I shuffle some bottles and boxes around the vanity, looking for it. "Shit... where's my mascara?"
"There. Behind your perfume bottle."
"Thanks, Little Red. What would I do without you?" I wink at her teasingly and run my fingers through her hair, mussing it up.
She lets out a little laugh, but her fair skin gives her away as she blushes.
