Tonight was the night.
Sloane held her phone in her hand but her fingers were still. She was staring down at the glowing screen, at a conversation.
"James (12:18 am): I want you tonight."
Prior to this evening, Sloane had only whimsically considered an actual one-night hookup with some stranger from the internet. It sounds so silly, and made her feel slightly embarrassed, but she had waited long enough. Tonight she was going to let someone fuck her, and it was going to be just what she needed- a release.
She couldn't reply too early, or she'd look desperate. She wanted to maintain the allusion that she was out being sociable and cosmopolitan when instead she was in her robe, making final preparations.
"Sloane (12:30 am): 273 E Belleview. Apartment 4."
Sloane hesitated for a moment. Was she really going to do this? Fuck it, yeah.
Hitting send, she immediately set the phone down on the bathroom counter. Time to do a mental checklist. Shaved legs. Check. Shaved...everything else. Check. Lotioned and smooth. She listed herself in body spray and she was ready.
Wandering through the rest of the apartment completely naked, with the light reflecting off her newly-shaved body, Slone turned off all the lights. She lit a few candles and placed them in no certain order around her room. Her bed was made. Incense was burning.
Passing the standing mirror, she admired the way her body looked in the warm light of the candles. Damn. This is my lighting. From the bathroom, she heard her text tone. She retrieved it a little faster than usual.
"James (12:55 am): Fifteen minutes."
