I enter the tall office block, and nod to the security guard as I make my way over to the lifts. I call the lift and wait for it to arrive.
The doors slide open and I step inside and press the button for the floor I require. The doors slide shut, and I look down at my dress and smooth it down with my hands. I can feel the tops of my stockings as I slide my hands over my hips and thighs. They have lacy tops that hold the stockings up, so there are no suspenders to ruin the line of my figure hugging dress.
The lift comes to a gentle halt and I step out. I smile politely at the people who are waiting outside the door, and they enter the lift behind me. The doors close and I hear the lift set off down to the ground floor, and all is quiet.
It is late afternoon. Sunshine is still streaming in through the windows, as I walk along the corridor towards your office.
You are not expecting me. You do not even know I am in the city today. I reach your door and stand quietly looking in.
There you are at your computer, typing away and concentrating on the screen, not even aware of my presence in the room.
Your hands hesitate over the keys, your head tilts to one side and I hear you breathe deeply through your nose. As you begin to turn your head, I slide my hands over your eyes.
“Guess who?” I breathe into your ear.
“Is it really you?” You whisper in surprise.
I take hold of the back of your chair and turn you to face me.
“Hi, sweetheart.” I smile into your astonished face.
You stand and take me into your arms. You are lost for words as you hold me close, I can hear your breath catch in your throat, and I pull back to look into your eyes.
“I can’t believe it’s you… you are actually here.”
