She Begins To Learn

The first box presented to her looked too much like the box she had tinkered with earlier that day.

Her heart froze.

If it was that box, then, what was hubby up to?

Why would that box be here?

What could this mean? Not that she had anything to worry about, she had actually seen the content of the box.

Inspecting it, she saw all the covered up attempts she had done. It was in fact that box. Her hubby had gotten it to the spa somehow, but how? As she tried to contort her surprised to look like actual surprise instead of concern, the gals started chanting for her to open it. Their excitement was a bit too much to for just a box though.

As she carefully opened the box, the content was very different. No bikini. No cloth. Instead, it was some very shiny fancy piece of fabric that turned out to be a beautiful gorgeous shawl. A very very expensive high end material one. She was beyond elated and relieved! Everyone cheered. The girls had pooled their money to get her that and it touched her.

The second box looked like the first but had tickets to a beach getaway in the islands. She had always wanted to go. The card said it was a gift from the office. Blown away, she was trying to put together all the information to figure how the office knew any of her girlfriends to even give them that box… but the pressure to open the third was mounting as the gals drew even closer to her.

The third box held her car keys. Now that got a lot of ooo’s and aaa’s from the girls who seemed to get that much more excited about this set of keys. But they were not her keys to her current car. Not her new wonderful SUV. No, her old tank of a beater car. The old faithful that had seen her through so many boyfriends, storms, school, road trips, moves, and life.

This car, was supposed to have been junked the year before. Why would that box hold that set of keys and why would that make the others cheer so much with so much excitement. Their faces were happy and held no clues. Her heart was starting to pound.

The fourth box made things worse. In it was the receipt for the cuffs she had purchased with cash that she had just used on him. And the cuffs were wrapped in silk. The girls were beyond thrilled and whooping it up in massive cheers. Her heart was sinking in a state of panic and despair.

What had she done?

What wrath had she unleashed?

Those were her cuffs!

As she lifted the last panel of the box, as they insisted there was another panel, it was her panties she had removed at the office before going home to seduce her man.

The girls were now in a frenzy of cheers.

Did they know what she was piecing together?

How did they get her panties from her office?

The fifth box had another set of keys. The attached note said it was the keys to the special beach house for the trip she had gotten from the office. The resulting cheers had eased a bit and were back to the normal girlfriend happy for you type of cheering. She couldn’t figure what to make of this set of surprises. Something was a bit off.

Why…

no…

who…

how…

wait…

another box?

Box number six in the set was no different than the others. They all were the same weight too. Yet all their contents were different. Still puzzled about her keys though, she opened this box.

Her face loss enough color that the cheering eased up and the quiet of the room turned to massive suspense.

There was the bikini she had seen earlier. Nearly all the contents was the same but one of the pieces of fabric was very different. Beneath it was different set of content.

Her heart stopped, her legs got weak, she needed to sit.

And then the last clue something was wrong… the friends quickly closed in on her and eased her down into a seat she was not aware was behind her since they had entered the room.

Not only was the fabric different, but the jewelry inside was not there from before. The pearls were gorgeous! The other jewelry were highly coveted by her. He had taken notes.

He had remembered.
