I think this may have had something to do with the way you smelled that afternoon. No, that is the actual reason you came inside and found what you did.
The slam of a nearby car door was passed off as a neighbor's visitor. The chime of the doorbell sounded awfully familiar, yet you figured it was the humidity carrying the tone across the yard. Half an hour had gone by and there were no signs or sounds of her. You knew you left her inside to tend to her favorite chores. It was agreed before you left for the gardens in the distant back yard that you would share in a refreshing afternoon wine cooler before completing chores for the day.
That chiming sound resounded in your mind as the need for a beverage overcame your dry mouth. Sweat gathered in beads across your brow before dripping through your eyelashes and down to your chest, skipping that well defined jaw line.
Finally you gave in on waiting for the drinks to be brought out to you as usual. You wiped the sweat with the inside lower hem of your well worn t-shirt. The water droplets of your labors added a sexy touch to your rugged appearance.
As the screen door slammed behind you, the voices upstairs silenced. Still, they were not quieted fast enough. You could not identify the second voice, but it was all too familiar. The giggle was undeniable and did not belong to your woman. All sorts of visions passed through your mind while the house became dead silent. Only your footsteps could be heard, one by one up the birch staircase.
You entered the kitchen to find your beverage waiting for you. Two empty bottles stood next to the water marks from the other two glasses. You bypassed the need for a glass, and sucked it down right from the bottle. Grabbing another, you proceeded upstairs. Not even your own breathing could be heard as you ascended. The stairs were carpeted and you stepped more cautiously, hoping to "catch" whoever it was that was (in your mind) entertaining your lady.
Smaller footprints on the newly vacuumed carpet was a clear sign there was a woman with her. Shoes lay by the foot of "your side" of the bed. Shorts were strewn across the room, followed by two blouses and one lacy bra. As you walked toward the other door leading to a back room, you kicked at the shorts trying to unearth more material. Finally reaching the other room, you found a pair of panties and the second bra in a distinct design on the floor. They managed to shape out your initials.
An enormous smile came to your face as you eased the door further open. What waited for you inside made you freeze.
The furniture had been rearranged. The bed was shifted to the next wall over where the sun could shine in on it. The breeze reached the pillows and gently shifted their hair. A new addition to the room, there was a chair positioned quite appropriately.
