The next week passed in a haze for Cindy; a blur of school, homework, and volleyball practice. She probably failed her calculus test, but she didn't even care. All she could think about was Mr. Parker. Katie came up to her in the cafeteria on Tuesday to invite her back for another sleepover, and since then Cindy was counting down the days till Friday.
Friday evening after school Cindy started getting ready for the party starting with a long, hot shower. She curled her hair, something she rarely did because it was too time consuming. She put on 4 different make up faces before deciding on the same one she used every day; she didn't want to look too sexy, the girls would be suspicious. Taking a final look in the mirror before leaving the bathroom- she prided herself in being able to pull off cute and sexy on the same face.
Getting dressed was much of the same process. The girls wore their pajamas to these sleepovers so they wouldn't have to change when they got there. Cindy put on the thong that she had bought the previous day at the mall; it was pretty simple- black and lacy. Cindy liked simple and it was perfect for her first thong. Over it she wore her button up PJs; they were white with pink stripes, and very cute in Cindy's opinion.
She called for her mom and they got in the car.
"We're going to be so late, why did you take so long to get ready," her mom asked as they started the short drive to Katie's house.
"My hair was just being really unmanageable," replied Cindy hastily.
"You're just going to a sleepover, you didn't want me to braid it like last time?"
"I don't know mom, I just felt like being a little fancy; I never go to parties."
"I guess, Cici, I'm just glad you had a good time. You seem really excited to go back. I was worried about volleyball being the only thing that made you leave the house. It's good to have friends at your age."
"Yeah mom, I know."
They arrived at the Parker's and Cindy got out of the car, her heart beating fast she approached the front door. She hesitated before knocking. Katie opened the door, in her excitement Cindy had almost completely forgotten Katie existed; she had to play cool.
"Hey Katie! What's up?"
"Cindy! We're watching a movie, it's so funny. I can't believe I've never seen it before, you have to come see."
Cindy didn't dare ask where Mr. Parker was, she assumed he had already disappeared to his room; she was almost relieved she didn't have to interact with him in front of the girls.
She sat down and actually started having a good time but was grateful when the girls started falling asleep.
After Hannah fell asleep Cindy saw Katie get up and turn off the movie and curl up in her own sleeping bag. It was late; she hoped Mr. Parker was still waiting for her. After twenty minutes Cindy got up- the rest of the girls lied around her like land mines. She tiptoed through the maze, slowly making her way to Mr. Parker's room.
For the second time that night, she hesitated before she knocked.
"Come in, Cindy."
She opened the door and stepped in quietly, closing the door behind her and locking it. She turned around to Mr. Parker chuckling quietly at her, "Quick learner you are. Go sit on the bed."
She sat while Mr. Parker paced around the room. He was in his boxer's again... He was beautiful, everything from his disheveled hair to his muscular legs were making Cindy feel things that she had never felt before last week.
She was embarrassed by her starting but she couldn't stop; she had waited so long and she was so hungry for him- for him to look at her.
She couldn't tell what he was doing, rummaging in drawers and in the closet, but he came back with a collection of things in his hands.
Cindy couldn't believe what she saw: rope, duct tape, and a long strip of fabric. Her eyes met his and he said, "Don't worry Cindy, baby, I won't hurt you... this is just for fun, you can you leave whenever you want to. You just won't want to."
He winked, and his voice was so husky but soothing that Cindy was immediately calmed.
"Take off your clothes... show me your body."
