“Your job isn’t going anywhere, Letty. And the tip is what I’d leave at any establishment with good food and better service.” I should have grabbed a drink before calling her, it’d sure help after the sweat that just poured from my body. “A few of us had to work our way through college. The service industry isn’t for the weak. We all try to help out where we can.”
“How do you know Ophelia won’t fire me? You can’t know that. And my rent is going up, and life keeps kicking my ass.” I hear the slap of flesh against flesh. “I’ve already said too much. Please ignore my rambling. I tend to do that at times.” Funny, since she’s never once let her guard down enough to do that before. Sure, I get some pieces of her, like the looks she sends my way when she doesn’t know I’m looking. Then there’s the extra sway to her hips, whether she knows what she’s doing is yet to be determined. Plus the way she says my name. It’s soft, sweet, with a tinge of longing.
“Anytime you want to talk, I’m here. Now, finish your bath, and while you do so, think about me.” The last thing I want is to get off the phone. I’d prolong the conversation, but I can tell Letty needs time to process tonight.
“Easier said than done. This isn’t when you expect me to say yes, sir, is it?” She’s more relaxed now. Hopefully, I can teach her to learn to let someone else take control.
“Kitten, I think you know what I prefer, and that’s yes, Daddy.”
“Yes, Daddy.” I don’t have to prompt her, which makes it all the sweeter.
“Christ, Letty. I’m never going to get off this phone now.” She’s on speaker, and since I don’t see any sign of us hanging up, I go about stripping out of my clothes, allowing my shirt to fall to the floor, kicking off my loafers before bending at the waist to get rid of my socks. I grab the items and my phone, taking Letty with me into the massive walk-in closet that sits half-empty to discard what I have in my hand and to finish undressing.
“Yeah, well, tell that to my nearly cold water. And I still have a glass of wine to finish, plus wash my hair.” What we did tonight will be happening again, and I’ve got the perfect bathroom to do it in.
“You gonna be okay to not fall asleep while soaking?” She could very well let some water out and add to it.
“I think I’ll just use the shower. I’m not sure I’ll last in a bathtub tonight. It’s a good thing my roommates are gone all weekend.” I’m wondering how I can finagle a night alone with her, especially with the information she just shared.
“Good, are you working tomorrow or today?” I check the clock on my nightstand. We’ve been on the phone for a while now, and the time is proof of that. “I guess I should clarify. Today as in Saturday or tomorrow as in Sunday.”
“Yes to Saturday, no to Sunday. It’s my one day off a week, and the amount of chores I need to get down is piling up.” I’d be an asshole to suggest spending time with me, then. Fuck, now I’m going to have to figure out how to play this.
“I’ll let you get to it.” Tomorrow, I’ve got a few things of my own to take care of. Maybe that’ll keep my mind occupied. And with any luck, I won’t become Jude. I’ve gotten Letty somewhat out of her shell. If I become a crazed stalker, she might shy away again, and that’s the last thing I want.
“Okay, I’ll see you soon?” Letty words it more as a question than a statement, giving me the sign that I’m not the only one who wants to meet face to face.
“Yeah, you will. Sleep tight, kitten.”
“Good night, Daddy.” My dick more than likes that, and it looks like I’ll be taking care of myself yet again tonight.
“Christ, I like that. Good night,” I reply, waiting to hear the click of the line before I hang up. When Letty finally does, I do the same, dropping the phone on the dresser in the middle of the closet.
The buzzing stops me from getting too deep in thought, and imagine my surprise when it’s Letty.
Kitten: Thank you for tonight <3
Me: Kitten, I should be the one thanking you. Soon, Letty, there won’t be miles between us. It’ll be you and me, and nothing else.
I wait for her to respond, but when she doesn’t, I move toward the bathroom, more than ready to call it a night. Tomorrow, I’ll deal with work. Tonight, I’m going to fall asleep with thoughts of Letty and one day soon having her beside me in my bed.
