It had been a long, hard week at the office and she was glad it was Friday. Throwing her keys on the counter, she searched the apartment for her boyfriend. She was ready to let off some steam and he had better be ready for it, she thought mischievously to herself. But he was nowhere to be found. Sighing deeply in disappointment, she stepped into the kitchen for a glass of wine. At least she could relax with a drink and a nice bubble bath before he got home. The thought of the warm, soapy water against her skin brought a smile to her face.
She grabbed a bottle of her favorite merlot and a glass. But before she could pour her first drink her phone chimed. A text message. Please God, don't let it be work, she begged. Looking down at the screen she saw that it was an unknown number. The message read: "The front door."
How strange. Probably a wrong number. She set the phone down on the counter and poured her glass of wine. But she couldn't stop thinking about the text. She looked down at her phone and stared for a moment, as if it was going to give her some clue or answer.
Biting her lower lip in contemplation, she grabbed the phone again. "Who is this?", she texted back. A moment passed and her phone chimed again. "The front door."
Now she was really curious. She set down the glass of wine and hurried to the door. She could see no one through the peep-hole. Unlocking the bolt and twisting the knob she slowly opened the door. No one was there. Just a very small, ornate box sitting on the welcome matt. A scarlet red bow adorned the top and a tiny white envelope was slid under one of the ribbons. She picked it up and shut the door.
Inside, she removed the card and opened it. The hand written message read:
"A present for you. Enjoy
-X"
A twinge of excitement ran up her spine as she opened the box. Inside was a small, pink plastic egg. She had seen one of these before at the adult store. It was some kind of vibrator but this one had no on or off switches. Strange.
She took out her phone again and texted, "I opened the package. Now who is this?"
A moment later her phone chimed. The text read; "Put on something sexy and go to the bar on 5th and Essex. Be there in one hour. Don't forget the present I gave you."
She stared at the message for a long silent moment, not sure what to do. She was a little scared but exhilarated at the same time. Was this her boyfriend playing a trick on her? Or was it someone else? Someone she knew, maybe? Looking down at the pink device in the box, she suddenly got a twinge of excitement between her legs. Biting her lower lip, she struggled with what to do.
