Chapter 07 -- Sister Act
As the week progressed, Penny seemed to be her old self around the house. Each night when I arrived home from work she was in great spirits and always happy to see me. Vivian had joined us at home again after her mom had left town. Our home life was getting back to the pleasant way it had begun and I was enjoying it. It seemed the two women I was living were always smiling, which was such an easy dynamic to operate in. I certainly had my reservations about the fragile state Penny might truly be in and I worried about the fact that Vivian was so crazy about me that it might be too much for her, but home was an enjoyable place for the time being.
Friday morning as I was getting ready for work, there was a knock on my bedroom door. Our interaction in the mornings had been light and pleasant, so this gesture seemed a bit more personal and specific. I wondered which one of them it might be, but really, it didn't matter.
"Come in," I invited whichever one of them it was.
The door swung open slowly and Penny peaked her head into my room. I smiled at her gingerly as she continued to enter.
"Good morning," I said softly.
"It's always a good morning when I get to see you," she responded as she walked across the room and threw her arms around me.
She drew herself into me with a firm hug. She seemed very content just holding me. She looked lovely in her black skirt suit with pinstripes. She also had on black stockings and black ballet flats. Penny was adorable sometimes and this was clearly one of those moments.
"I have an assignment for you tonight," she sighed, still holding me.
"Ok, lay it on me," I encouraged her.
"You have to go to Leslie's," she instructed me. "Be there by 7pm."
"Consider it done," I confirmed. "Any insight on what the actual assignment is?"
"You know that you don't get any details ahead of time," she reminded me with a chuckle. "I will say that you will enjoy yourself and someone else will learn a valuable lesson."
With that she released her grip on me and disappeared from my room. I finished getting ready, hearing Penny's car pull away from the house. Her words were stuck in my head, ringing in my mind; someone else will learn a valuable lesson. What the hell did that mean? For the life of me I could not put that one together. It consumed my mind for my entire ride to the office. I really wanted to know what that meant. Once I reached work my attention shifted to the tasks at hand for the day and the thought was forgotten.
I buzzed through my day and was quite surprised when I looked at the clock and it was after 6pm. I looked up from my desk and discovered that the office was empty. This was not at all a surprise; since it was Friday the departures often began right after lunch. I closed out what I was working on and headed for the car.
The drive to Leslie allowed me to resume thinking about what Penny had said this morning. Who was going to be taught a lesson? And how? And why? I was again consumed by this notion that I could not decipher. As I pulled up in front of Leslie's house, I noticed Brooke's car in the driveway. Was Brooke the one that was going to be learning the lesson? I was letting my mind runaway with my thoughts.
I tried to gather myself as I exited the car and approached the front door. I rang the bell and was rather surprised when Mindy answered. She looked fantastic, wearing a black thin strapped tank top and denim shorts. She was barefoot and really captivated me in that moment. She ushered me inside, smiling the entire time. I gave her a hug and then was curious as to what was going on with her.
"Aren't you supposed to be back at school," I inquired.
"I leave first thing tomorrow," she informed me. "It's good to see you."
"It's good to see you too," I admitted. "How are you doing?"
"I am doing very well, thank you," Mindy responded. "My greats are perfect, people love me and I am making some progress with my mother. Things are going well, except for that bullshit the other night at the wedding. I am still pissed about that."
"I am glad things are going well," I told her. "You may want to let that wedding thing go. You may also want to let go of wanting to be in this game. It's not for you. You must know that."
"Don't be so sure about that," she remarked.
"Why do you say that," I asked.
"I was told that you and I are to wait in the living room for tonight's events," she revealed.
I followed Mindy into the living room. She took a seat on one of the big chairs towards the back of the room, while I seated myself on the edge of the couch facing her. She was all smiles as we waited for whatever was to come. I watched her sit very comfortably as we waited. She was a lovely girl, there was no denying that, but I still thought this game might be too much for her at her age.
The all together too familiar snap of heels on the hardwood stairs snapped me back to reality. I listened as the sounds got louder and closer until Leslie came into full view in the living room. There were few words to describe who incredible she looked. She was wearing a mint green lace bra and matching panties. She had on black patent leather 4 inch pumps to compliment her underwear choice. My cock began to swell immediately upon seeing her.
Leslie moved to the area immediately between Mindy and me. She looked from me to Mindy and back again. I could not take my eyes off of her. She placed one hand her hip and addressed us.
"Are you two ready," Leslie asked generally.
"Ready for what," I wondered aloud.
