A grin passed over my lips as I pulled my car into the driveway. The house I was taking care of belonged to my friend Lori and her new husband. Over the last year, I had fallen in love with Lori while I worked with her. Every time she was around, I couldn't help but stare at her beautiful red hair, her friendly smile, her thin frame. Even in her mid thirties, she was more gorgeous than any 20 year old I met. I knew that, being a 22 year old girl, there would never be a chance for us, but I wished...oh how I wished. Getting my suitcase from my trunk, I walked hurried to the front door. Her car was already gone, so I knew I wouldn't get a chance to see her. Just the same, I couldn't wait to get inside. Shutting the door behind me, I set my luggage in the entry way.
"Morgan, Artemis!" I called to the dogs I would be watching over. I set my keys on the table in the hall and continued into the house.
"Where are you guys?" I called again, a little nervous about how quiet the house was.
"Mitch? Come on out!" The hair on the back of my next stood up with the silence. Peeking into the kitchen, I found no trace of the pups. I stopped and listened for a moment, hoping to hear something to betray their location. A shuffling came from the master bedroom. A jolt of fear ran through me, as it was not the sound of anything canine. It sounded like someone shutting a drawer. Holding my breath, I slowly advanced on the half open door. As I reached the bedroom, another sound invaded my ears. Very slowly, I pushed open the door, preparing myself for a conflict. What I found there was not what I expected in the least.
Standing at the foot of the bed stood the girl of my dreams. Lori wore a sexy white bustier with skimpy white panties. White garters were clipped to a pair of knee-high nylons. She looked as though she was waiting for me. Inhaling sharply, I felt my face grow red. Turning my eyes to the ground, all I could do was stammer.
Taking a deep breath I managed to whisper "I'm sorry...I thought you were already gone."
Lori smiled and licked her lips.
"I stayed behind." She simply stated.
