Out to the car

Dan grabbed his mother's keys and took the elevator downstairs. One of the blondes from earlier, the shorter of the two, flashed him a sultry smile as she passed him in the hallway. He smiled back but didn't say anything. Before he could get to the large doors to the parking lot, a man in a brown uniform opened the left door and hefted a large package on one shoulder. He grumbled as he passed Dan.

Right out front, a large delivery van waited for its driver to return. His mother's car was at the other end of the lot, parked near a street lamp. He unlocked the trunk and found the missing bag of groceries. After locking up the car, Dan walked back to his apartment, passing the delivery man coming off the elevator.

In front of their apartment door, was the large brown package he'd seen the driver carrying. "What?" he mused as he bent down to check the shipping label on the side. It showed the right address but was the wrong unit. Standing up, Dan looked up and down the corridor. Their apartment, 2F, was on the left while the package was supposed to go to 2G.

Dan ducked inside his apartment, put the groceries down on the counter, and went back out into the hallway. He hefted the heavy package, grunting from the effort, and walked it five steps to the door across from his. He set it down and knocked on the door.

Less than a minute later, the door swung open to reveal a short, auburn-haired woman wearing a black bra that barely contained her modest chest, a garter belt and stockings, and lacy black panties. "Yes?" she asked with a confused look in her deep green eyes.

Dan tried to smile as his eyes wandered back up to the woman's face. "Sorry," he greeted. "The delivery guy left this at our door," he explained and hooked a finger over his shoulder. The gesture made the woman lean to the left, so she could see around him. Dan glanced back down.
