*****
I had moved out of the family home nearly 3 years ago now, I had finished my studies and had taken a position in London as a junior in one of the largest accountancy companies. I have enjoyed my career so far and although I am still young in it at 27 years old, it was beginning to take its toll on me and I became more and more stressed lately, we had some big audits on the go which brought a lot of paperwork and late nights working at home as well as in the office. On top of that, I couldn't afford to live close to the city which meant I also had about an hour commute each way via the underground and a bus ride on top. So, that didn't really leave me any time for a social life or for dating and other activities that I would have liked to do in my spare time... I simply didn't have much of it!
Friday night and I was leaving the office just before 8pm, it was dark and miserable which pretty much summed up my current mood as I was laden with my work bag as well as a heavy document case, homework! To further add salt to the wound, it had started to rain and i had not brought a coat today as I was in a rush this morning, i hated oversleeping although i had been quick to recover, i just missed my bus by minutes. At the time I hadn't hid my frustration well as I screamed, thus turning the heads of passers by. Could this day possibly get any worse? I had thought as I made my way to the underground station, almost soaked through by the time I got there.
The rest of the commute home was pretty normal, having missed the rush hour was a win for me and produced a little smile on my face, another thing I seldom did these days. Looking around, I could see that I was not the only miserable person on the train, it was nice to see party-goers talking loudly, dancing with each other and I couldn't help but wish I was joining them. I looked back down at my feet and tried to drown the noise out of my mind, feeling weary from the week I had just had and knowing that the weekend wouldn't be any different. I could feel my eyes burning and with that came the tears, I wished my mother was waiting for me at my flat because I desperately needed a hug.
Finally arriving at my flat, I was grateful to be there as I could finally dump the weight I was carrying and get myself out of my wet clothes and run a bath. It was a cosy flat that consisted of 2 bedrooms, bathroom, lounge, kitchen/diner and storage cupboard,the second bedroom I had been using as a wardrobe and office space. It was on the top floor as well, a bit of a luxury but was able to afford it and I could just make out the city skyline if I tip-toed enough which at the time was a big selling point when i moved in. Checking on the bath before walking to the kitchen to get a glass of wine, the benefit of living in this flat on my own was that I could walk around naked! Climbing into the hot soapy water, submerging my tired aching body, took a sip of wine before sliding down so that my head was under water too.
Feeling a lot better for having a bath, I dried my body off and then wrapped my hair in the towel before going to the kitchen for a refill of my glass. Still naked as I preferred to allow my body to air dry before putting clothes on, looking down at my average breasts, they were firm and had dark brown nipples. Running my hands down my stomach, noticing I had put on a few pounds through lack of exercise before running a hand through the thick dark hair on my pubic mound. I could feel my clitoris twinge and thought about bringing myself off but i wasn't in the mood for it. Grabbing some freshly tumbled nightwear, I dressed before heading to the lounge with my glass and the cheeseboard I had apparently prepared without knowing it! Glancing at the bags in the hallway, I sighed heavily before sitting down on the sofa to eat my dinner. After a while, my mobile phone had lit up and was vibrating away on the seat beside me, picked it up to see that it was my mother calling! Looking at the time, now just before 10.30pm I had thought it a bit late for her to be up at this hour. Feeling myself frown, I answered.
"Mum, is everything alright?" i said full of concern.
"Hello dear, it's your mother calling."
"Hi mum, is everything alright?"
"Yes yes, I thought i would call you because I couldn't sleep and well, it has been a while since we last spoke and i haven't seen you for such a long time!" she said cheerily. "How are you my dear?"
I felt relieved to hear that. She lived by herself now as my father had passed a year ago after having a heart attack, she was coping well but she was all by herself out there in the countryside just outside Oxford. It wasn't too far from civilisation, but far enough for me to worry that something should happen to her and she had no one to look out for her.
"I am ok I guess, just work is bringing me down at the moment and I never seem to get on top of it. I am so stressed out, I have no life, I am lonely and I just want a cuddle from you and I miss dad!" Everything just came out and I started to cry my eyes out, shaking uncontrollably and I could feel myself hyperventilating.
"Emily dear... Emily? Listen to me, you need to calm down, breathe slowly. Come on dear, you can do it, listen to my voice! Breathe... breathe... That's it."
"I...I...I..." Not being able to fully breathe, I was panicking.
"Listen to my voice dear, mummy is here."
I vaguely understood what she was saying but I knew what I needed to do whenever this happened to me, I just focused on my breathing as I could hear her calm but muffled voice. After a few minutes, my breathing had settled and I wasn't shaking as much as I had been.
"Its..its ok mum, it is subsiding." I could feel my eyes burning still, the tears had stopped at least.
"Listen to what I am going to tell you now!" her voice stern and commanding. She meant business!
