It was a long commute home. I was trying every trick in the book to get home faster with little success. It was when I was a half hour away that I received a call from my neighbor.
"I don't see your car yet, Romeo. Still stuck in traffic?"
"Fraid so, Beloved. I wish I was home. Lord knows I look forward to you asking me to move furniture."
I could imagine her smiling to that remark. Truth be told I have been over there a few times and helped moved furniture around. I was handsomely rewarded afterwards of course. Still, it's a little inside joke between us.
"Actually, I can have dinner ready by the time you pull in. Would that be helpful?"
"Bless you sweet Angel of mine," I said.
I could hear her blow me a kiss before she hung up. With the promise of food at her place and the bigger promise of her being there, I was motivated to search out a way home quicker. It was as if the cars started to disappear off the road and I was soon pushing the speed limit to get home faster. Pretty soon, I pulled into my driveway and was debating whether to change first. That was solved when she texted me to hurry up because dinner was ready.
I walked over and opened the door to see her standing there waiting. She was wearing a nice top with her skinny jeans. She opened her arms, and that first hug was amazing. Then our lips met, and fireworks went off in my head. My arms immediately went for the small of her back and she kissed me again.
"Do you want dinner or skip ahead to dessert, Master?" she whispered seductively.
