Day 6- Tuesday
Paige rose at her usually early hour. Even through her confusion at Lee's actions, or lack of action, of the previous day, she managed to sleep very well.
The relief of finally having one day of relative freedom from the situation Paige had put herself in finally freed her mind. She hadn't had to humiliate herself, she didn't have something new to be ashamed of, she just went to school, did an easy job, and came home. For the first time in days, she was a normal girl.
Paige proceeded with a bounce through her morning routine of showering, dressing, saying goodbye to her parents and having breakfast. Things changed when she stepped outside to wait for the school bus.
A few minutes of waiting passed until Paige heard Lee's front door open. She glanced over her shoulder, looking for maybe some clue to His behavior the previous day. What she saw instead was Lee escorting a tall, lean brunette to a car she had not noticed parked in His driveway.
It was pretty clear the woman had spent the night with Him. Her clothes were essentially the stereotype of what a woman would wear to a nightclub, hunting for a one-night stand. Her lean body filled a tight red dress, brazenly showing off her lean body and her every well-placed curve. Her legs showing off their tone atop a set of matching 4 inch heels.
Paige had seen women like this in Lee's home before, it was the kind of woman she'd watched Him have sex with from the shadows of her bedroom. She didn't really think much of Him having another fling with another woman, though a moment's regret flickered that she didn't get to watch.
It always mesmerized Paige to watch Lee with a woman. She looked upon it as almost a researcher. She just liked to watch Him, like He was her teacher, like it was a class, something more she could learn rather than something she enjoyed.
Paige started to turn away as her bus stopped to let her on. As she stepped between the doors, she caught a glimpse of Lee kissing the brunette goodbye. She paused for a short moment on the lowest step of the school bus, not really looking, but not able to ignore. She simply shook her head and stepped up onto the bus, finding her seat for her trip to school.
The school day for Paige passed much as the previous one had. She was the same girl all her friends had always known: happy, smiling, joking. School was already becoming a place she could escape having to think about Lee. He didn't exist here, and it left her to be her natural self.
The end of the day came again, far too quickly for Paige. She boarded the bus home and upon arriving, went immediately to start her job with Lee.
A knock at Lee's door was again greeted with His voice stating loudly, "It's open, Paige."
Paige opened the door and quietly stepped inside. Again, she left her bag near and headed to the open door of the office, where she again found Lee working.
Lee started immediately, "Today, I need you to clean My bedroom, it's quite a mess."
Paige's mind flashed to that morning, the girl she'd seen leaving.
Lee continued, "Just pick up a bit, you know about where everything goes, and you're going to have to strip the bed and wash all the bedding. Any questions, come and ask."
Paige simply nodded as Lee turned back to His work. She turned and carefully rose up the stairs to His bedroom, a little nervous, remembering the last time she had been there.
As Paige opened the door, she was shocked at just how messy the room was. She stepped inside, almost afraid. The first thing that caught her eye was the bed. Today, it wasn't neatly made as it when she was coerced onto it. She stepped in and looked over the mess of pillows strewn about it, blankets hanging off the sides, and sheets barely clinging to the bed.
Paige moved further into the room, her eyes found a table off in one corner. She remembered from her last experience in Lee's bedroom, but was dismayed to find everything that usually sat atop it piled on the floor next to it.
Paige's mind thought about what was really being asked of her. She was being asked to clean up a night of Lee's sexual indulgence. It certainly put a different twist on what she'd watched from her bedroom so many times before.
A heavy sigh burst from Paige's small body as she knelt carefully next to the table, starting to pick up the pile of random things on the floor. Her eyes widened as she realized that in the pile was a spent condom.
It horrified Paige to think about what Lee expected. "He can't really...." Paige whispered to herself, knowing that He really did expect her to clean that up too.
