help you back to the car and will let you know when to take the blindfold off,” said Melissa and before Alex could answer Melissa had swiftly tied it around her head.
Alex felt the familiar touch of Mr Briggs and then they were off back to the car. It seemed like they took a different route and that they reached the car in less time.
Alex sat back and waited for Mr Briggs’ instructions, she was feeling very sleepy.
The car pulled away and after ab out five minutes Mr Briggs told her to take the blindfold off.
Alex noticed the box was still on the seat, along with her bag and jacket. She placed the blindfold back in the box and put the box and the envelope in her bag.
Alex put on her jacket and wrapped it around herself; she couldn’t believe what she’d done. Never in her wildest dreams had she thought she would have done any of that. Then she thought about what Gary would say . Oh Go d , Gary, what time was i t ? She took her phone out and checked. It was nearly ten o’clock, Gary had texted about an hour ago. ‘I’m on my way home, hope to see you soon. Gary,’ his message read.
Oh no what if he got home before her ? He would start asking all types of questions, she wanted to break this to him gently.
‘ Sorry babe only just got your message, running later than I thought, met up with some people and it ran over, see you soon love Alex,’ she texted back.
She leant her head back and closed her eyes, listening to the hum of the car, time passed quickly, then she felt the car pull over and stop. The car door opened.
“I thought it would be best to drop you around the corner from your house, so as not to raise too many questions,” Mr Briggs said.
Alex picked up her bag and got out of the car.
“Thank you Mr Briggs.”
“ My pleasure Mrs Sterling,” he replied, and with that he turned back around and got in the car and drove away.
Alex walk ed up the street and turned the corner to their home. The lights were on, Gary was back, she climbed the steps to the door and fished out her keys from her bag and let herself in.
She could hear Gary in the kitchen. Alex placed her bag and coat on the chair by the door, and w ent into the kitchen. She stood in the doorway and watched: Gary was busy cooking up something that smelled good, she suddenly realized she’d hardly eaten since leaving work and was very hungry.
Gary turned and smiled at her , “I thought you might be hungry, here sit,” he said and he pulled out a chair.
Alex sat and watched as Gary put the food on plate; it was penne with Bolognese sauce.
“Did you have a nice evening Alex?” he said.
Alex looked at Gary and smiled.
“Gary I’m starving, let me eat and then I will tell you everything,” she said.
Gary looked sad for a moment , and he returned to eating.
“Why don’t you go and have a shower and get ready for bed, we can talk tomorrow if you’re exhausted?” Gary said as he cleared the plates.
Alex nodded and went upstairs to the bedroom; she grabbed her pyjamas and went into the bathroom. She threw her clothes into the wash basket and stepped into the shower. Letting the warm water run all over her, she reached for the soap and lathered a sponge and washed every trace of sex from her body.
It was late b y the time she’d finished and got her pyjamas on, and all she wanted was to sleep. She went into the bedroom and Gary was sitting waiting on the bed for her in in his checked PJ bottoms. She looked at him, trying to work out what to say or how to begin to speak about what had happened. She sat down next to Gary and held his hand. With her other hand she reached up and placed it on the side of his face and ran her thumb over his cheekbone, looking into his beautiful eyes, they seemed lost as if deep down there was something wrong. She ran her fingers through his dark brown curly hair. She kissed him lightly on the lips then lowered her eyes to look at her lap and placed both hands there.
“Gary I have something
