Mila THREE MONTHS LATER
My stomach knots as the lift doors open and I step inside.
Nerves, anticipation, and excitement all churn inside my belly, causing my
leg to bounce and my palm to sweat as it grips the handle of my carry-on
case. Drawing in a deep breath, I pause for a few seconds and hold it in
while the doors glide closed, and I start my ascent into the unknown.
“Bring what you need for a weekend at home,” Frankie had said.
So, I had a case full of leggings, trackies, tees, hoodies, pyjamas,
undies, and toiletries—all things I wouldn’t be allowed to leave the house in
if I was back in Yira, but here in the city of Melbourne, no one knows who I
am, and the only time I plan on being seen in public is when I visit my
mother at her care facility. No one there will care, either, or even remember
what I’m wearing.
To be honest, I’ve no idea what Frankie has planned for this weekend.
When we spoke at the party, I’d said what I needed to say to sow the seeds,
hoping they’d germinate over the course of the night. I’d played the role of
the sad, lonely, bored housewife I’d been practising in my head for months.
I didn’t flirt with him, didn’t want him to think I was desperate. Simply
more… vulnerable? So, when he’d made his way back to me later that
evening and asked what it was I needed to relieve that boredom, to feel less
sad and lonely, I’d giggled and raised a brow before looking down and
shaking my head, as if I was too embarrassed to say.
Then while I waited for those seeds to bloom, I played with him for a
while, letting him think I was shy; that he had to coax my response from
me. Eventually blaming my confession on the alcohol, I told him my truth.
That moment, me admitting to my darkest desires, was the only honest
thing about our conversation… on my part, anyway.
I’d watched his jaw tense, his tongue flick out to lick at his full, plump
lips, and his green eyes narrow as he swallowed before he leant in and said,
“What if I could solve that problem for you? What if I could make it
happen? Fulfil that need? Make you less sad, less lonely? Would you be up
for it, Mila, or are you full of shit?”
I didn’t need to fake the shudder that rolled through me, the
goosebumps that raced across my skin, or the hardening of my nipples.
They happened of their own volition as his hot breath caressed the side of
my neck when he spoke.
Slipping a business card into my hand, he added, “If you mean it, if
you’re brave enough to live a little—or a lot—call me.”
That was when, for the first time all evening, my husband appeared at
my side and jokingly asked what we were plotting. In unison, Frankie and I
fake laughed, and as if it had already been rehearsed, we told him a lie.
