Ashkey tried to forget about what she had just done. Deep inside her she knew that it was naughty and yet she found that she was more than willing to keep what she had done a secret.
She tried to concentrate on the work that needed to be done around the house and before she knew it the time had come to pick up her children. All in an instance she forgot the woman on the computer and became a wife and mother again. She picked her children up and fixed them up with snacks and then began to prepare the evening meal.
Ashkey was back in her comfort zone and she was soon lost in what she was doing.
Moving around the kitchen effortless she was peeling the vegetables when the telephone rang. Putting down the peeler she went and answered the phone
"Hello Ashkey speaking"
"Hiya darling how are you and the kids?"
"Were ok honey. The girls have had a good day at school. What time are you home?"
"Ah well that's why I am ringing you see!!!!!!!"
Ashkey knew her husbands tone of voice. This was one of those phone calls when he announced that he had to go out of town for the night and so with a silent sigh she said
"What's the matter honey?"
"I am sorry darling but an urgent job has come up out of state. I have to go tonight but it should be only for 48hrs. You know I will miss you and the girls but think of the money"
Ashkey had shut off her mind as soon as she had heard the words out of state. She loved her husband and appreciated the money that he brought in but she did hate to be alone. Suddenly she realized that the line had gone quiet.
'Sorry honey" she responded.
"One of the girl's was trying to get my attention" she lied
"That's okay darling. Well as long as you and the girl's are okay I better go. Speak to you tomorrow. Love you darling"
Holding back the tears so as not to alarmed her husband Ashkey managed to say
"Love you too darling and the girl's blow you a kiss"
With that he was gone and Ashkey had to face up to the prospect of an evening at home with just the girl's for company and it would not be too long before they were going to bed.
She went back to peeling the vegetables and before she knew it working on autopilot she had made the evening meal and served it to the girl's and herself in silence. The time was passing slowly but she maintained the faΓ§ade of the happy mother and bathe the girl's read them a story then settled them down to bed.
This done she found the evening her own. She poured herself a glass of wine and tried to relax in front of the television. She couldn't find anything to interest her despite going through all the channels. Eventually she turned the television and put on some music. With this in the background she was soon relaxed and as she drank her wine she became intrigued again.
Had anyone replied to her ad?
Walking towards the computer she soon found herself switching it on and becoming impatient as it took its time to load. Eventually the screen flickered into life and she logged on. Again the machine seemed to take an age to lock into her screen but her patience was rewarded.
Taking a deep breath she moved the cursor over to the internet icon and clicked on. She logged on and awaited a response. This was quicker than the machine and within seconds she was looking at her home page and then a little voice said
"You have e-mail"
Ashkey clicked on the little red envelope and looked at the e-mail. It was from Literotica. Sweating now she clicked it open and it said
You have a new private message at the Literotica Forum.
Ashkey could not believe it someone had replied to her message on the personals board. She sat for a moment and contemplated what to do. If she opened it she was committed to following up and replying to it but then if she ignored it she was being rude to the sender. Indeed a dilemma.
Getting up from the computer she went into the kitchen and poured herself another glass of wine. She stood alone in the kitchen and slowly sipped the wine al the time looking back into the front room and at the computer screen which was flashing the message.
She decided to take the bull by the horns and open the message.
She went back to the computer and with shaking hands she typed in the address of Literotica and waited to be taken to the site. As with logging onto the net it did not take long and she found herself looking at the picture of the naked woman. She scrolled down the screen and located the forum's icon and then she took a pause before clicking it open.
Before her eyes the screen changed and she was confronted by the board and an overlay which repeated the fact she had a private message. She clicked on the overlay and it asked her if she wanted it opening in a separate window. She clicked on yes and the screen changed to reveal the following message.
Hello Housewife,
Loved your message.
My name is Tony and I love to write stories. What kind of stories are you interested in writing. I have found that recently that I have begun to write erotic literature. It would be interesting to write a story in two parts. You could write from one character's perspective and I could write from another's.
If interested please reply.
Ashkey could not believe it. Not only had someone replied but it was someone who was interested in writing a story with her and not exchanging an erotic e-mail. When she had added that codicil she instantly regretted it and had wondered how she would have handled it had someone responded in that way.
Staring at the computer screen she was wondering how to reply. Thinking quietly to herself she came up with this.
