"So, Dolly, your place or mine?" Billy asked.
"I was thinking somewhere here," I said, smiling.
"Oh," he said, a little surprised but very intrigued. He scanned the gallery with just his eyes. "Not too many private places around here."
I thought about it for a minute. Bathroom? No. Been there done that. Plus, it would be too crowded. The proverbial light bulb clicked on above my head. Ashley had an office somewhere in this place, I just wasn't sure where. I had only been to the gallery twice before that night, and that was during renovations. Anyways, I knew she had one, and you could be damn sure I was going to find it.
"I know where we can go," I said.
Billy smiled. "Lead the way."
As much as I wanted to lead him by the cock, I figured it might draw too much attention. Reluctantly, I let him go and grabbed his hand. His big hand engulfed mine as I led the way, snaking through the crowd. I made my way towards the back. Like Billy said, there wasn't much private real estate in the building. More than likely wherever the bathrooms were, Ashley's office would be nearby.
I looked over my shoulder at Billy. His gaze was focused on me, that ever-present smile slightly curving his luscious lips. It was like he was privy to some cosmic joke us mere mortals could never comprehend. Our eyes locked together, and he winked at me. I smiled as I looked ahead again, putting some pep in my step.
I was almost certain we were coming up to the bathrooms because of the long line of females. No matter what, there was always a line to the ladies' room. I stood on my tiptoes, trying to see if there was a hallway or anteroom beyond the crowd. Unfortunately, standing on my tiptoes only gave me an inch and a half more height. So, basically, my short ass couldn't see shit.
We made it to the crowd of people, and I pushed my way through. Billy trailed close behind.
Come on, fortune. Give me a smile. Let her office be down here...
Much to my absolute delight, a hallway lay before us. And at the end, there was a door. I was so giddy I had to fight the urge to skip down the hallway. It was like I found the magical wardrobe to Narnia or something. I picked up my pace, dragging Billy with me.
As we got closer to the door, my giddiness dashed against the rocks. There was a fucking keypad lock on the door. I stood in front of the door, staring at the keypad, hoping maybe if I stared at it long enough it might open.
"Fuck," I said under my breath. I reached for the handle and turned it on the off chance that it might be unlocked. The handle moved but the door did not budge.
Billy chuckled behind me at my feeble attempt.
I turned around to look at him. "I had to try," I said.
"Well, you tried. So, unless you can miraculously guess the code out of the 10,000 possible combinations, let's go to my place," he said.
That made me think for a second. Ashley was a one-trick pony when it came to passwords. She tended to use one password for all her accounts and her birthdate for number passcodes. I probably could guess it. And rather quickly, too.
I figured I would take the opportunity to fuck with him. "Care to make a friendly wager?" I asked.
Billy raised an eyebrow. "What? That you can guess the code?" he asked.
"Yep," I answered.
Billy's next laugh was his signature, sly one. "You psychic now?" he asked.
I just shrugged my shoulders.
"Okay," he said. "Twenty bucks says you can't."
"Fifty bucks," I countered.
"Alright, Ms. Psychic, but you only get three tries," he added.
"You're on," I said.
Billy put his hand out and we shook on it.
I spun around on my heels, ready to make an easy fifty bucks. I rubbed my hands together. Okay, here we go. I punched in Ashley's birth month and day. The keypad flashed red, beeping loudly.
The next combo I punched in was her birth month, day, and year. The keypad did the same thing again.
"One more try, Ms. Psychic," Billy razzed me.
"I only need one more try," I told him, typing in what I was certain would be the correct code, her birth year.
The keypad flashed green, and the lock clicked open. I turned the handle and pushed the door open.
"Viola," I said as the door swung back on its hinges.
"Well, I'll be damned," Billy said, voice laced with amusement.
I smiled at him triumphantly, turning sideways to usher him into the office.
"So, you're really psychic?" he asked, walking forward.
