Chapter Five
Jackie opened the door to the apartment, went inside and locked the door. She went straight to the kitchen and put her bags on the counter. She began humming to herself and started taking out the items for this eveningâs dinner.
Darren had suggested a meat market where she could get the exact cut of steak that was Maryâs favorite. She took out the fresh spices for the steak and fixings for a salad. Thankfully, she had an hour before Mary would get home.
She fixed a marinade sauce, put the steak in it, and set it in the refrigerator. She quickly made the salad and put it in the refrigerator, too.
Rushing into the bedroom, she dug out the lace tablecloth and long pink candles with silver candle holders she had purchased a few days ago. Sheâd also bought a two-piece set of fine china for the occasion. Mary was going to be surprised.
Jackie went back to the kitchen and cleared off the table. She pulled the table out into the open and decorated it with the table cloth, candles, and China.
Checking her watch, she realized she only had a half an hour before Mary would be coming in the door. After seasoning the steak a little more, she placed it in the oven. She decided to let it bake while she took a shower.
With the steaks cooking, she rushed into the bedroom, stripping as she walked. She threw her dirty clothes in the hamper and hopped into the shower. She whistled as she washed herself thoroughly, shaved and trimmed all the important places.
After the shower, she sprayed herself with Mary's favorite cologne for her. Jackie grinned, knowing it made Mary hot when she wore it. She dressed in the black slacks and shoes with slight heels she has been hiding from Mary for weeks. Looking pensively at the blouses in her closet, she settled on the white one and put her black suede vest over it.
Her hair was past due for a cut, but she brushed it out and let it lay on her shoulders. Mary liked her to wear it a little long, even though Jackie liked it a little shorter than it was now. She strategically placed the heart locket Mary had given her for their ten-month anniversary over her heart and made sure her shirt was unbuttoned enough for Mary to see it and the swell of her breasts.
The smell of delicious meat wafted throughout the apartment. Jackie took the salad out of the refrigerator. She put the salad on the table and went back for the champagne and roses she had put in the refrigerator when sheâd come home at lunch.
After putting crystal flutes on the table, Jackie set the champagne on the table in a white ceramic bowl filled with ice so it would stay cool. She placed the red roses carefully in a vase and put it on the table, but not exactly between the place settings. She didnât want anything to block her view of Mary.
