Michael was away on a business trip, and Beth hadn't seen his face in a week. It would be another week before he would be home, but she was going to finally be able to have a one-on-one webcam chat with him. They had been planning it for a few days, and unbeknownst to him, she had been making a few extra arrangements.
That morning, Beth all but jumped out of bed when her alarm went off at 9:00 a.m., and although she had about twelve hours before her webcam call with Michael, she started getting ready. She took a long, hot shower, taking care to wash her body and shave the important places below her neck. She washed and scrubbed and caressed every inch of her skin and her long raven hair. By the time she had finished in the shower, an hour had passed, and she was suddenly grateful that she was one of the most highly demanded and most well-paid designers in the country (even though she was only 25). Therefore, she really didn't have to worry about her bills.
She grinned to herself as she reflected on this and was jolted out of her reverie as her phone started ringing, and she saw that it was the owner of the lingerie shop she frequented quite often.
"Hey Celia!" She smiled as she answered. "Is my special order ready?"
"Hi Beth!" came the cheery voice on the other end, "Yeah it's ready, come by whenever you want to pick it up. See ya soon?"
"Okay thanks! See ya soon, bye!" Beth chirped her reply before hanging up. She ate a quick breakfast and brushed her teeth before throwing on a casual t-shirt and jeans, then she grabbed her purse, phone, and keys and walked out to her ruby red Convertible. She sped off into town with the top down and the music loud, partly to calm her nerves and partly because she had it on her favorite Pandora station.
She stopped for her favorite coffee drink from Starbucks and to pick up a package from the post office, a package that contained something she knew Michael would love seeing her use, then to use it on her when he got home. She grinned impishly to herself as she tucked it between her two front seats before heading to the lingerie shop. She parked and walked in and quickly found Celia, exchanging a few pleasantries with her before asking for her order. Celia recommended she try it on to make sure it fit, and Beth agreed and went back to a dressing room.
She put everything on and admired her reflection in the mirror. The lingerie consisted of an intricately detailed rosy pink bra with a matching see-through lace teddy, garter belt with stockings, and panties, all except the stockings made of a rich, expensive silk. The cut of everything accentuated her curvy 5'3" frame, and the bra comfortably nestled her 44C breasts, giving her pleny of cleavage she knew Michael wouldn't be able to take his eyes off of. She loved the way the color contrasted beautifully with her pale skin and seemed to make her hazel eyes a shade or two lighter.
After modeling her look for Celia and the few other employees (mostly male) there, who all voiced their approval with wolf whistles and applause, which made Beth blush, she carefully put everything back in the box, got dressed, paid for everything, and headed home, picking up lunch along the way.
Upon arriving home, she put her lunch in the oven and set herself to tidying up the bedroom. Neither eating lunch nor cleaning up took her very long, and she was frustrated when the clock showed that not as much time had passed as she would have liked. She did a few mundane things she'd been meaning to catch up on and hashed out a few sketches for a client, and she started getting dolled up at around 6:30 p.m., giving her about two and a half hours.
She fixed her long, wavy hair into a loose bun that she could let loose by pulling out a few pins - which was incidentally Michael's favorite style on her - and did simple makeup which consisted of smoky eyeshadow and liner, mascara, a touch of blush, and a rosy pink lipstick that matched her lingerie, which she put on next and decided to go without shoes.
