(If you read Ch 42, you know where this story is headed. I might have ended this one a bit abruptly. But I wanted to show the excitement I was feeling. Thank you so much to my muse for helping me get to this point in the story and to the readers for letting me know people still read on here. I am thankful.)
It started with a hand-written letter. I left it in her mail slot at her door in the middle of the night. I then went back to my house and started to prepare for what was to come. Earlier that week, I dropped off a dark robe for her to wear. I wrote the letter with trembling fingers knowing full well what would happen. It was a turning point in the relationship that had developed to that point.
During the day after, I went through and started preparing everything. There was a bottle of wine on ice near my kitchen table. I had my toys all cleaned just in case. I also made sure my outfit for that night was ready to go. I made great effort to ensure I was freshly shaven and everything. My goal was to have everything ready by six in the evening. The rest was on her.
It was five minutes to six by the time I heard a soft knock at the door. I looked through the keyhole and saw the black robe. I tried to contain my excitement as I opened the door. There stood my neighbor. Per my letter, she wore a pair of sandals. As she entered my house, she slipped off the sandals and placed them outside the door. She then walked forward and presented her lips to me. I gave her a chaste kiss before we adjourned to the kitchen table.
She saw that I had some Thai food delivered. She looked at me before smiling.
"Permission to sit, Master?"
