Free The Arrangement by Simon Smith-Wilson Page B

and down and then down and up again. Her
body was still covered in a light layer of water where she had just
jumped out of the shower. His eyes were transfixed upon a single drop
of water running down the inside of her smooth silky thighs. The base
of the towel only just reached over her hips and if it were an inch
or two higher he would have seen a very private place indeed. Emma
gripped the towel to her body, but her large firm breasts made it
almost impossible to reach completely around her torso. There was
more than enough cleavage on the display to give him troublesome
dreams for the rest of the year.
    ‘Hi.’
He returned the smile.
    Emma
shivered.
    ‘It’s
cold out there. Get inside. I know I am slightly late, but give me
two minutes and I will be ready.’ She grabbed his arm and
pulled him into the interior of her home. The front door was pushed
to a close behind him. There were no stairs leading to a second
floor, as that was another apartment for someone else. A corridor,
stacked to the ceiling with boxes upon boxes, led off into four
doorways.
    ‘How
are you this morning?’ she headed down the corridor.
    His
eyes fell onto the back of her thighs.
    ‘I
am good thanks. How are you feeling today?’
    He
quickly brought them up in time, as she turned to face him.
    Emma
paused at the end of the corridor.
    ‘Take
a seat.’ She gestured with an outstretched hand towards the
door on the right. Lucas walked down the corridor and entered a make
shift living room. Just like the hallway it was like some kind of a
cardboard box landscape photo. How much stuff did Emma actually own?
    ‘I
am feeling a lot more positive than I did yesterday,’ she
giggled from the next room. ‘I was absolutely terrified about
starting my new job.’
    ‘What
has changed?’ Lucas nosily lifted the lid of an open box. It
was stuff full with all sorts of different clothing. A pair of very
revealing panties caught his eye.
    ‘It
was you.’
    ‘Me?’
Lucas seemed slightly taken back by her answer.
    Emma
poked her head around the door and smiled. Lucas could feel the blush
travelling up through his body at the speed of light. Had she caught
him stealing a look at her panties?
    Emma
giggled.
    ‘You
have changed my feeling about going to work. Not only do I have a
great boss, but I have made a really good friend.’
    ‘I
feel the same way.’
    Emma
disappeared back into her bedroom.
    ‘Please,
forgive the mess,’ she said from the next room. ‘I just
really haven’t had the time to unpack since I moved out here.
Everything has sort of been on the go at about a hundred miles an
hour.’
    ‘It
is a pretty big job for one person,’ replied Lucas. ‘Maybe
I can help you out when we have a free day.’
    ‘Are
you serious?’
    ‘Yes.
Why are you so surprised?’
    ‘I
am just not used to people being so kind to me. I would love your
help in unpacking all of this stuff. Thank you, Lucas.’
    ‘Don’t
worry about it.’
    ‘Right,
I’m ready.’ She appeared in the doorway like some kind of
angel. All she was wearing was a normal white work blouse and a long
black skirt, but somehow she made even this ordinary clothes look
stunning upon her body. ‘Let me just dry my hair, though.’
    ***
    ‘Great,’
scoffed Lucas.
    The
traffic was at a dead stand still. Even if he arched his neck, to
look beyond the car in front, he couldn’t actually see where
the traffic jam stopped. It seemed to continue on and on for ages.
There was no way for him to pull off the road because they were
trapped in the middle lane with cars blocking them in from all sides.
    ‘You
should look on the positives.’ Emma flashed him a beautiful
smile. ‘At least we get to talk and learn more about each
other.’
    Lucas
smiled nervously.
    This
was what he was dreading. He liked her enough as it is.
    ‘What
would you like to talk about?’ he asked.
    Emma
thought about this for a second. ‘Let’s talk about your
fiancée.’
    Lucas
could feel a hollow sensation
