She’s so small and with her friendly face I can tell that she probably knows everything that goes on in this house, but probably doesn’t tell a soul.
“No. Oh…”
She’s turning back to leave the room. I’m too scared to turn to see if the neighbors can see my big ass out of the window.
“My name’s Scarlett. You don’t need to call me Miss. I’ll be down in about fifteen minutes. I just need to get showered and dressed.”
“Okay,” she’s still beaming and then turns to leave.
But then she hesitates and says, “Don’t worry, that window faces the back of the house. So, no one can see you behind there.”
She read my mind, but she doesn’t wait for me to answer as she shuts the door, I wonder if when she said when lunch was ready. She wasn’t inviting me to lunch. She was just telling me about it. Then it dawns on me.
Lunch!
What time is it?
I race to my purse which I see on a side table and I can’t believe it as I look at my phone. It’s almost two and I’ve been sleeping all this time?
Well, since I lost my job I still get up at the same time, but at this time. This is when I have my afternoon nap.
Shoot, I sound as if I’m five years old.
I walk across the cream bedroom to the closet which is the whole of the wall facing the bed. I can’t believe what
I see before my eyes. She’s right about one thing, there’s clothes but none of them are mine. There’s a few dresses, elegant ones like the one that I was wearing when I entered the house, a couple of jeans, shirts and pants too. It’s as if I’m moving in with the selection of clothes.
Is he sure that I’m only staying here for the weekend?
There’s underwear and even a few perfumes. They’re a bit strong and I end up coughing as I spray them on myself,. The craziest part, I have a stronger desire to call Gretchen then I do to put clothes on. Especially now I know that I’m facing the back of the house. I don’t have to worry about anyone seeing me.
I draw the curtains and true to her word. I see a pool, and some shrubs and a decking area. Considering Joshua lives here alone, this is more of a family home.
I start to dial Gretchen and I’m shocked when she picks up on the first ring.
“Aunt Betty driving you crazy yet?”
I shake my head, “Nope.”
“So, how you doing?”
“Okay.”
“Just okay, because I have a feeling that you called me for something.”
I smile, but I’m trying so hard to keep it in.
“Because you hardly call me. Normally it’s a text.”
“Oh.”
She can pick up the vibe on the phone and I feel silly for calling her and even worse for trying to keep it a secret. I called her for a reason. A big one and I feel like a little kid as I tell her my dirty secret.
“I had sex. Not just sex. Mind, blowing hotter than hot sex,” I run to the bed and I kick my legs in the air as I start to tell her about the night. I start from the auction and after every moment all she can say is, “Shut up!”
“No way! You dirty girl. He didn’t?”
“Gretchen, I tell you, I’ve never been that into sex.”
