Chapter III: Wild Night Out
It was a quiet Friday afternoon and Sherry was at work updating yet another client database. Data entry was not in her job description, but as she often said, âIf I donât do it, it wonât get done.â The letters and numbers began to blur together as she plowed her way through the endless list of contact information. When her phone rang, she jumped as if startled from sleep.
âLifeWorks, Sherry speaking.â
âHey sexy, whatcha wearing? Is the receptionist busy under your desk again?â
Sherry was suddenly wide awake. She covered the mouthpiece like she was hiding a secret. âShh, Kyle, you pervert! Anybody could pick up this line!â
âWould you really mind if Trish heard that?â Kyle replied.
Sherry blushed. âMaybe. Whatâs up?â
âWhy donât you skip out early so we can run away?â
âWhat are we running from and where are we running to?â
âWeâre running from the conventional humdrum of everyday life and weâre running to something exotically different.â
âHmm, sounds mysteriously intriguing, kinda like a bad commercial. But do we have to leave early?â
âWhere weâre going, we need to beat traffic. Is that practical enough for you?â
âSure is.â Sherry glanced at the clock â 3:45. âBut first Iâve got to finish one more thing. Meet you at my place around⊠oh, 5?â
âThatâs not very early.â Kyle complained.
âI know, but these people pay me money, and theyâd kinda like it if I did some work.â
âThe fiends. Ok, five oâclock it is, my sweet, but not one minute later.â
âAlright, Romeo; Iâve gotta go. Love ya, babe. See you soon.â
âLove you too, snookums. Oh, and Sherry?â
âYeah?â
âDonât forget to find some clothes before you go outside. And say hi to Trish for me!â _click_
âDork,â said Sherry with a smirk as she hung up the phone. Kyle hadnât mentioned that dream since Monday when she had first told him about it. Over dinner that evening, he had asked her if she had meant what she said about other women. She was a little embarrassed talking about it once the moment had passed, but she admitted that it had âcrossed her mindâ. For the last few days, they had both been too busy with their respective jobs to even get in a quickie, much less delve into fantasies.
She wondered about his mysterious phone call. The raunchy jokes were unusual for Kyle. If his intent was to get her thinking about that very erotic dream, he succeeded. She remembered how real the dream was, how she could almost feel the plush upholstery on her bare skin as she sat in her office naked, doing something very naughty and not caring who saw. A slight flush came to her cheeks when she realized she was in the same chair, typing on the same computer, her legs under the same desk as in the dream. She suddenly found it hard to keep running down those long rows of names. When Trish herself walked by Sherryâs open office door in her tight Friday jeans, Sherry lost her concentration entirely.
âAw, screw it,â she sighed. She shut down her computer, made a lame excuse to her boss (âHe owes me plenty anywayâ), then smiled and wished Trish a nice weekend on the way out. âIf she only knew,â Sherry mused.
Sherry figured that Kyle would be waiting for her, eager to make up for their lack of love making the past few days. She was looking forward to it, and her pulse quickened with anticipation as she waited for the turning light at the entrance of the apartment complex. However, she didnât see Kyleâs car in front of the building and found a note on the inside welcome mat:
Youâre early! Ran to the ATM â be right back.
I picked out some clothes for you.
XOXO Kyle
Sherry headed for the bedroom and found her suggested wardrobe. On the bed, Kyle had laid out a slinky black club dress with thin spaghetti straps and a zipper down the front to the waist. It had almost been too short when she bought it and then shrank in the wash. She hadnât worn it in months and intended to get rid of it. Kyle knew all of this â he was the one who had missed the âdry clean onlyâ label â but there it was waiting for her on the bed. âCurioser and curioserâŠâ she mumbled. Beside the dress was another note:
Câmon, itâll be fun. :)
XXX Kyle
âI wouldnât wanna spoil the fun.â Sherry quickly slipped out of her conservative business attire (customer reps donât get casual Fridays) and into the skimpy outfit, then had a look in the bathroomâs full-length mirror.
âOh, myâŠâ Sherry mumbled when she saw much more of her skin than she usually showed in public. She had bought the dress because she knew she had shapely shoulders and the thin straps accented them nicely. The built-in bustier also showed off her cleavage to great effect. However, it was shorter than it used to be and her legs seemed awfully bare. Sherry turned around and then noticed with alarm that the bottom of the tight dress barely covered the rise of her ass. Fun or no fun, she had second thoughts about leaving the apartment with her butt almost hanging out. Besides, the first cold front of the fall had blown into Florida and it would be a bit cool tonight. She was about to look through the closet for something else when she heard a key turn in the front lock.
âHoney, Iâm home!â called Kyle down the hall. His smiling face soon appeared in the bedroom door, and his eyes widened when he saw Sherry in the little black dress. âYazza!â he said, âIâve gotta sit down!â He plopped on the nearby comfy chair and admired her some more.
Sherry noticed that he was wearing his tight black jeans and a tropical camp shirt over a white tank-type undershirt. He was underdressed compared to her, but she found him almost irresistible in each of those 3 pieces of clothing, more so all at once. She suspected he knew this. She playfully strutted over and sat on his lap.
âSo whereâs my sexy hunk of a man going to whisk away little olâ me, sugar?â she cooed coyly, kissing his forehead and running her finger around the smooth tan skin showing above his undershirt. Ever since they had seen _Gone with the Wind_ at a film festival a few weeks before, they often slipped into caricatures of Scarlett and Rhett when playing mischievously naughty.
âWell, Scarlett, I wanted to take you down to the barn and see whatâs under your petticoat, but since we donât have a barn, I decided to take you down to the shore and try it there.â
âFiddle-ee-dee, Rhett Butler, Iâll have you know I donât even own a petticoat. But if you help me get my things together, Iâll show you what I do have.â Sherry got up and began throwing stuff in an overnight bag. Kyle grinned and watched until Sherry hit him squarely on the nose with pair of socks, after which he got up and helped out.
Sherry remembered that she was wearing an almost indecent outfit just as locked her front door. She paused, looked over at Kyle sitting in his sporty little car, and finished turning the key. âAw, itâll be fun,â she told herself, and hopped in.
A little later, Kyle was driving through traffic on the coastal highway while Sherry listened to the radio and watched the sun set over the water. They wore their matching black leather bomber jackets everyone thought were so cute. Sherry still didnât know where they were going exactly.
âCan I inquire which beach weâre headed for?â she asked.
âNope. Weâre going to have a nice dinner, then getting us a room,â he smirked. âAnd I thought weâd stop somewhere along the way.â
âWhere?â She was a little hungry and was looking forward to a good meal.
He responded with a secretive smile and raised eyebrows. As she considered all the clues from the phone call to the clothes to the out of the way route, she was glad she trusted Kyle so completely. With someone else, she may have felt anxiety or even fear. Here with Kyle, she felt only growing excitement and anticipation.
She didnât have to wait long. Kyle soon slowed down as they neared what looked like a big tiki bar on a small strip of sand between the road and the bay. Goosebumps rose on Sherryâs skin when she saw the sign out front: âBeach Bunnies: Floridaâs Finest Exotic Dancersâ. Kyle pulled into the mostly empty parking lot and stopped.
âDo you want to go in?â he asked seriously. âThe crowd wonât get here for a couple hours and I thought itâd be funâŠâ His expression grew concerned as if he thought he might have made a big mistake.
