Lucy
You came after my personal life, so I came for yours!
Henry
Reading alone isn’t a relationship
Lucy
Neither is what you’re doing.
Lucy messages me individually after our “battle in the group chat,” but surprisingly, it’s not to further antagonize me.
Lucy
Hi! I had an idea for new content on your accounts. Do you have any set photos from movies you previously directed? Reminding people of your passion and the amazing work you’ve done in the past might get them wanting more.
Henry
Yes, of course. I believe there are a few here in London. I’ll look for them. Great idea!
Lucy
Thanks
Henry
Will you be joining us Saturday night? For dinner and drinks?
Lucy
Yes, I’ll be there. Hannah and Mia are taking me shopping on Friday to get more “dinner clothes,” as Mia says. See you then!
Henry
Enjoy the shopping.
Saturday night arrives, and our limo pulls to a stop outside of Lucy’s apartment.Now I know which one is hers.Hannah offers to run up and grab her, but I ask her to text Lucy and let her know I’ll be coming up to get her. “She’s in apartment number two,” Mia yells with her head out the window.
At the top of the outer stairs, there is a buzzer with a button next to the number two. I press it, wait, and then her sweet voice comes through the little speaker. “Hi! I just need a minute, and I’ll be right down.” Her voice wavers as it comes through the speaker. She sounds almost nervous.
“It’s Henry, I can come up and get you.”
Lucy’s voice returns, “Oh, sure. I’m up the stairs to the right.”
The door clicks as it unlocks, and suddenly, I feel a tightening in my stomach as I ascend the short staircase. Once at her door, I give a quick knock and she opensalmost immediately. I’m struck motionless. Again, she selected an item that bares her shoulder. This time, it’s not a top but a stunning black dress that hugs her curves as it flows down her body. As I regain my composure to face her, I notice she too, is admiring my attire.
“Please come in, I just need to grab my coat and bag.” As she turns to grab the missing items from her outfit, I notice the high slit in the skirt of her dress, revealing mile-long legs, perfect to provide access to her luscious thighs. I catch my breath, trying to regain my composure before she sees me so…distracted. If this dress was something purchased with Mia and Hannah, I may need to encourage them to take more shopping trips together.
As Lucy reenters the room, she moves with little coordination, attempting to hold her purse while pulling her coat on. I jump to her rescue, grabbing the coat and assisting her into it.
She thanks me, but something about her is shy tonight as she continues to fidget with her coat even once it’s in place. Perhaps it’s the formality of the evening. I offer her my arm. Relief and excitement flood through my body as she slips her arm through mine.
She holds onto me tightly as she carefully descends the steps outside her building. That’s when she notices what is waiting for us. “A limo?”
“Well, with everyone dressing so formally, I decided it would be better to have more room to sit without being on top of each other,” I explain.
“How thoughtful,” she responds.
