"Well then, let's go."
And off we went talking like old friends. We walked three blocks north and four blocks east. My apartment was in the same building you entered to ride the elevator to the twelfth floor. My apartment is on the twelfth floor. I am frantically playing back our conversation because I didn't think I told you where I live. I was distracted with that thought when you said, "I moved here about four weeks ago and immediately left town. I am returning tonight for only the second night. The building doesn't yet seem like home, but it definitely has what it will take. Come, my apartment is right over here."
As we walked past my door, I had the feeling I was being tested, but not by you. I imagine it feels like that to have someone study you intently for your entire day, writing notes and dictating in a muffled voice to a small recorder. The hallway went to the far end of the floor, made a second turn, and ended at an apartment door.
We became fucking friends within fifteen minutes, and here we are forty years later, again doing what we did all those years ago. We eventually had a night that found our limits. You were blindfolded, and I was to bring a total stranger to the apartment to take my place. The stranger, as it turned out, was as kinky as our lust.
He had, in turn, convinced me to be blindfolded, also. As soon as I was blindfolded, the stranger tied me up and tied you up, then he burgled the apartment. The stranger took our money, ransacked the apartment, and then put on a mask that covered his head and shoulders and looked like a rubber Frankenstein head and upper body.
Frankenstein forced each of us to kiss each other, and eventually, he had us do a sixty-nine. Then he watched the two of us take a shower while he jerked off in the bathroom sink. When he came, he shouted, "Oh, Hilly!"
Immediately he left while we were standing in the shower looking through the glass shower door. He forgot the loot, and money, as the apartment door locked when it closed behind him.
Epilogue:
We are happy to be safe. We decided to stop taking chances. Now we again fuck like before. We had such fun for all of those years.
I am old and no longer even visible to the young people on the streets. They slide in and out of the multitude, and I have to weave defensively on the sidewalks. As I do with the technology, that is assimilated into their lives without caution.
"Hilly" is still a mystery today.
