This is the second part of a story, it might help to read "Boot" first but it's not necessary.
Enjoy and let me know if you have any thoughts or comments.

Its 7 p.m. and I'm nervously standing at the top of the steps leading to number 13's front door. Bright polished Oxford's, grey chinos, new white shirt and light grey jacket, my interview clothes. Not sure why I've gone with this but it somehow seemed appropriate. In my left hand I hold a paper bag with the pair of polished and burnished, Kidd leather ankle boots. The boots that had arrived earlier today at different times.
To the left of the matt black door is a small push button door bell, with the beady glass eye of a camera sitting above it. I've been standing for what feels like ages, plucking up the courage to push the button. Who do I ask for? The only name I have is Mistress. Should I use that? Will I have to wait longer? Is anyone in or is this someone's practical joke? I eventually reach out and push the button. As soon as I do there is a short buzz at the side of the door and it opens all by itself. A distant voice calls "Enter, boy."
On stepping through the door I can see I'm in a long white painted hallway, dark floored with stairs at the end. The door starts to close and I notice the small, thin mouse haired girl from this morning, on her knees behind it. She is naked.
From up the stairs, the distant voice calls. "Leave the bag with Marci, then come up."
I look down, at the girl, kneeling on the dark hardwood floor. She has pale skin, small breasts,..B cup at the most but then I'm not a good judge of these things. She keeps her head down so all I can really see is the top of her head. "Marci?"
Without looking up she gives a slight nod and holds up both her hands. I drop the paper bag into her hands.
"Thank you, sir... P⦠please don't keep mistress waiting."
I look down the hall then back at Marci. I hurry to the stairs. As I reach the bottom step I look up and see a pair of shiney, black, lace up boots that just go over an older woman's knees. Above the boots is a short gap of sun bronzed skin then a short black skirt, a red, tightly laced, bodice then a bulging cleavage. Her arms are bare but her nail polish matches the bodice. Mistress? Her face is made up to highlight her sharp features, full dark lips and high cheek bones. Deep blue eyes look out from smokey eyelids. Her long brown hair is tightly pulled back into a high pony tail.
With a slight sneer on her face, she nods to me. "Welcome... boy. I hope the right matches what I could see of the left. If everything passes muster I may reward you. If not..."
I hear a light click of heels behind me. I turn to see Marci is walking down the hall in my boots. Her hips sway slightly as she approaches.
"Hurry up boy. I expect you to be seated before Marci presents her boots."
Turning back I hurry up the stairs.
As I reach the top step I can see Mistress is sitting on a white leather sofa, her boots line up, straight at me. She points to a small wooden chair on her left. "Sit".
I wonder what I've got myself into as I move to sit perched on the chair. Mistresses' boots creak as she flexes her ankles. I immediately focus on the bright, sharp 5 inch heels resting on the floor. The flow of the line from tip to arch and up the laces to her knee is so elegant and beautiful. The highlights reflected in the shine of the boots shift as she crosses her ankles.
"Do you like?"
I can't seem to move my eyes. "Y... yes... they are beautiful."
"They are, but I meant my room. You need to pay attention to the right things boy."
