I knew it. He likes me.
I squeal to myself after the two of them leave. Smiling and dancing around the condo, I wash up what was left of our failed dinner and then head upstairs wanting to be clean and pristine for my night with Domonic. Even though I’m not planning to get naked for him, I need all surfaces of my body smelling like heaven and every inch of me soft as a baby’s bottom.

Realizing I probably shouldn’t disturb his meeting just because I am dressed and ready, I don’t make the call.
“Sometimes I can be so lame,” I say to myself, just as the doorbell sounds.
Who the hell can that be?
I reach for the deadbolt to unlock it then my hand freezes on the latch. Something inside of me buzzes to life. A sliver of fear slithering
up my spine.
The hairs on the back of my neck are standing at attention and I suddenly feel extremely alone.
Don’t panic, just breathe.
It can’t be Domonic.
It can’t be one of his friends.
Maybe a neighbor? Or maybe a salesman?
