Lee is late again. Fifth night in a row. She is tired of this shit.
She told him the last time that she was tired of waiting up for him. Tired of finally going to bed alone waiting for him to slip in hours later.
Lee promised he wouldn't be late tonight and yet it's past 11pm and he's nowhere to be seen. So Essy is taking things into her own hands. She's going to show her husband what he's been missing these past few nights. She slips out of their home in her night grown and a warm coat then slips on her black heels as an afterthought.
His building is dark and security isn't very tight so she slides in unnoticed and makes her way to the elevator. On the 8th floor she heads to the only office with a light on. The door is wide open and she can see Lee talking on the phone with his fists clenched and an aggravated look on his face.
He doesn't notice her in the doorway, too occupied with his heated conversation. Not to be ignored she stomps into his office closing the door behind her. Watching him almost fall out his chair leaves a pretty little smirk on her face.
"Johnson we'll have to continue this tomorrow. Yes. I'll talk to you then." Lee drops the phone and stares at his wife. "I was on my way home, I swear."
"We should be in bed by now. I should be wrapped around your waist at this hour." She drapes her coat on the chair. Lee's eyes trail up her long brown legs to her short black night gown. The silk and lace one, it's his favorite.
"Still could happen you know, I could lay you down right here on my desk." Lee stands hoping to touch his wife's soft skin. Essy backs away from him and bites her lip. "What?"
"You left me alone," she wanted to make her husband pay.
