I turned the knob on the tub so that the hot water was on all the way, put the drain plug in, and sat in the floor patiently. I'd already messaged my boyfriend to let him know I would be bathing soon. Luckily, he'd gotten into a new game recently and hadn't been paying much attention to me. He'd simply texted me a simple "okay" as a response, and nothing else. I sighed in relief as I received the message. He certainly wouldn't be a problem today. I stood up and walked across the long bathroom to the cabinet above the sink, scanning the items for some bath oils to fill the room with a nice, romantic scent. I finally settled on citrus and lavender after looking through my collection, and made my way back to the large tub.
It was almost a fourth of the way full at this point, so I put a few drops in and set the small glass bottles to the side, their sides clinking together as they met. I breathed in a nice mixture of flower and oranges, which made a small, blissful smile perch on my lips for a moment. I found my place in the floor once again, still fully clothed, and grabbed my phone from the small stand next to the tub. I began browsing through my messages, looking for some fun, as I realized he'd already texted me. He was not my boyfriend, but we'd talked a lot, and he
was
my next-door neighbor. I click on a name that is not his, one that I'd saved to my phone so that my boyfriend wouldn't read the messages, and began to read his simple greeting.
"Hey," he had typed, "what're you up to tonight?"
I smiled at the question and typed my response to send. "Nothing much, about to take a nice, hot bath. And you?" I debated on adding a winking smiley face, but decided against it, as there was still much more time in the night, and it's more fun if you lead into it.
"Ooh, that sounds nice and hot for sure." He replied.
I giggled quietly to myself, feeling as though at any moment someone could hear me and tell, even though I lived alone and had not planned on anyone coming over. I thought over my response carefully, not wanting to rush into anything, but also wanting him here with me. "Oh, I'm sure it will be. I'm sure you would
love
to be here and enjoy it with me. ;)" I gave in to the smiley face idea as I pressed the little blue send button on the bottom of the screen. As I waited patiently for him to respond, I decided on a bubble bath from a different cabinet in the bathroom, and poured a fair amount of it into the tub. The water began to foam near the faucet as the water poured out. The room was warm and moist at this point, so I took off my socks, boots, and underwear. I wasn't quite ready to pull myself out of my tight red dress that clung to my body just yet. I tossed the unwanted clothes into the hamper on the other side of the room, and placed my boots next to it carefully.
When I came back to my phone once again, he'd replied with a "Oh, I'd love to. But I'm awfully busy. I'd really need some convincing for me to drop everything and run over there."
I rolled my eyes at him. He always was such a tease, and always loved a little teasing. I slipped my dress to the edges of my shoulders, pulling the lowcut V-neck even lower than before, showing off my cleavage, but nothing else. I posed and snapped a photo with the camera on my phone, showing my pale shoulders and well-defined collar bones, along with a small bit of the top of my cleavage in front of the pale blue water with mountains of bubbles. I captioned the image and sent it to him.
"If only you were here to slip this all the way off, then you wouldn't have to worry about anything else."
I sat in front of the tub again, and it was already half-way filled up at this point. My phone made a tone, letting me know I'd received another message. I read it quickly, eager to reply.
