It's been another long day, and you're driving home to see your baby. After everything you went through at work today, you need to go home and find some way to release all that stress and nervous tension that's been built up.
The drive seems longer this time, but you know it'll be worth it. You know what's coming to you.
Or do you?
You come to my front door and reach for the bell when you notice a note taped over it. In block letters, it reads "COME RIGHT IN." You study the note for a moment and then follow its instructions.
Inside, you find something you didn't expect. You take off your shoes and socks while studying a scene straight out of a movie. The chandelier is dimmed low and the inviting flicker of candlelight emanates from the great room. You're drawn to it like a moth to the flame. The candles burn silently on the coffee table, but there's no trace of me, save a white card on the table. You pick it up and open it. Inside my handwriting gives you another instruction: "Upstairs."
You look to the staircase and that's when you notice the trail of red rose petals strewn around, leading to the second floor. You smile and put the card back in its place. You walk slowly around to the stairs and up them, looking down at the petals under your feet, noticing the pleasant change in texture from the carpet.
Up the stairs and down the hallway, the roses are leading you. Into my bedroom door. The only light on the second floor is still more candles; this time their orange light spills out of my room and onto the off-white carpet. You open the door and slowly peek your head around the frame before fully stepping in.
I'm standing there, waiting for you. I'm naked, holding a single long stem rose across my chest. Rose petals are covering my bed.
"I..." you start to say.
"Shh..." I stop you. I saunter over to you slowly, smiling at your smile. I stop inches away from you, and run the bloom of the rose across your cheek. As I'm doing so, I whisper in your ear.
"I've been waiting for you."
You laugh softly and flash your deep blue eyes, half in admiration, half in anticipation. I smile at you and try my best to convey my intentions through my eyes. Yours get wider, almost quizzically.
