On Saturday afternoon, Robby called and said that he had everything ready for the next day. Louise had Steve call and make a reservation at the Airport Hilton. He requested a room at the back, "To get away from the noise of the traffic." He was assured that his room would be at the back of the hotel, away from the road.
All day long, Louise was very nervous. She tried eating, but had no appetite. She tried shopping, but for once could not buy anything. Steve offered to make love, but she even turned that down. She made cold cut sandwiches for Mark and Steve, the only boarders there on that Saturday evening, and went to bed early.
At eleven o'clock the next morning, Steve showed up at the front desk of the Airport Hilton, and checked in. He paid cash (supplied by Louise) for the room, and took the key. The room was indeed around back. As soon as he got there, he made a phone call. Within fifteen minutes, Robby Alexander knocked on the door. Steve let him in, and Robby set to work.
The room was a nice large one. Though not a suite, it had a large bathroom and walk-in closet. The bed was a double, comfortable and freshly made. Steve thought that Dorothy would like it, and feel comfortable there, which was very important to the plan.
At eleven forty-five, Louise knocked on the door and was admitted. She came to check on the preparations, and wish them well. She was nervous, but under control. There were serious repercussions to be dealt with if this plan should fail, or if something should go awry. She kissed both young men, thanked them both, and left.
"You know," Robby said, as he worked around the room, "Louise is a very special lady."
"Yes, you are right about that. She's pretty special. I think I'm falling for her." Steve looked at Robby to see what his reaction was. He knew that Robby and Louise had once been a couple.
Robby looked at him for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, good for you. I wonder how she's gonna take what you're doing here today, though?"
"She says that she's got it all covered. I'm supposed to lay it on thick, and make sure this Ms. Kaiser loves it. After that, Louise says that she's got it all worked out."
"Okay then," Robby said, "let's call the lady, and get this show on the road."
Steve picked up the phone, and dialed the number he had been given. It was answered on the second ring.
"Hello," a soft feminine voice said.
"Hello, is this Dorothy?" Steve asked.
"Why, yes it is. Who is this?" Dorothy asked.
"Dorothy, this is Steve. We met briefly at Louise Blaisdell's house, earlier this week. I believe that we have a appointment."
"Oh yes, Steve. I've been waiting for your call. Where can we meet?"
"I'm at the Airport Hilton, room 126. That's on the ground floor, around back," Steve said.
"Good, I'll be there in half an hour. Should I bring anything?" Dorothy asked.
"No, I've got everything we'll need. I'm looking forward to meeting you again."
"Same here," Dorothy said, and hung up.
Steve took a quick shower, put on cologne, brushed his teeth, and slipped on a sport shirt and light workout pants, with no underwear. He then opened a cooler he had brought along, and set out cheese, bread, wine (a good Chardonnay) and smoked oysters. He darkened the room and lit a couple of candles.
"Hey, you're doing this up right, aren't you?" Robby remarked.
"Louise said that it was essential to our plan that we capture this woman's heart, or at least her fancy. Plus, the darker the room is, the less chance there is of your being discovered."
Five minutes later, there was a knock on the door.
The two men nodded at each other. Robby disappeared into the closet, and when all was ready, he opened the door. Dorothy Kaiser stood there. She was dressed in a peach-colored cotton knit sheath dress, with a plunging neckline clasped at the top with a small decorative medallion. Her already tanned legs were bare, and she wore opened-toed sandals. Her blonde hair flowed over her shoulders. Around her neck was a single thin gold chain. She had put on a light floral fragrance before coming, and it flowed over Steve as the breeze blew into the room. He had a brief thought that, as much as he liked Louise, this wasn't going to be much of a chore after all! Dorothy Kaiser was a very attractive woman with well formed breasts, a pretty face, and shapely legs and thighs. She smiled, revealing even white teeth.
"Hello, Dorothy. Come on in! It's really nice to meet such an attractive lady again."
"Thank you, Steve." Dorothy walked into the room and commented, "Well, you certainly have made it cozy in here. Is that wine?" she asked.
"Yes it is. I think it's a good one. Come on let's have some." Steve led her over to the table, held the chair for her, and helped her sit. Then he went around to the other side and sat.
Steve opened the bottle and poured each of them a glass.
Louise tasted it and said, "It's very good. You made a good choice."
"Thank you, Dorothy. Here, let's have something to eat. It's past lunch, and I haven't eaten."
They helped themselves to food, drank wine, and became more comfortable with each other. At one point, Steve moved his chair over to sit beside her. She responded by putting her hand on his arm and squeezing gently. Gradually, time passed, and they discussed many things. Louise looked up at him and said, "You are really quite an intelligent young man, Steve. I hope that you don't think ill of me for being here. I don't know how much Louise told you of my situation, but..."
