Get ready for Chrissy.

We stepped out of the shower together and Veronica grabbed a towel. As we dried off, I took a second to admire her body again. Out of curiosity, I reached out and slapped her ass just hard enough to sting a little. She gave a little yelp and jumped, then continued to towel off with a look of confusion on her face. I grabbed her shoulders and spun her around to face me, looking her in the eyes.

She looked at me with her brow furrowed, then turned back and put the towel back on the rack. She stepped into her bedroom nude and began rooting through her drawers.

"What's the sexiest thing I own? I should wear that for Chrissy." I said. She didn't reply, just kept looking through the drawers. Finally she pulled out a lacy maroon camisole and a tight pair of shorts.

"Yeah, that'll do," she said with a glance. As she began to slip into them, I spoke again. "Shouldn't we clean up nude? We don't want to spill anything on our clothes before she gets here."

"I suppose." She put the clothes on her bed and began the process of straightening up.

As she went through the apartment cleaning up clutter, I helped myself to a look around. I had been friends with Veronica for years, but I had maybe been to her place twice. She kept it generally tidy and had a slightly eclectic but modern eye for interiors. I was struck with an idea.

"We should put out candles," I said experimentally. The nude woman just nodded as she gathered up junk mail to put in the recycling. "Um, where are the candles?"

She stopped for a second. "They're in the pantry, of course. I don't know why I would ask that."

I rolled my eyes and got a few out. I chose some short cinnamon-scented yankee candles and placed them around the bedroom, lighting them for her. I turned down the lights and carefully made the bed. When I walked into the living room, she was unwinding the vacuum cleaner cord.

I figured she had things figured out from here. A quick glance at the clock told me we only had about fifteen minutes till Chrissy arrived. I went in the kitchen and made myself a sandwich. I heard the vacuum switch off and ate the last bite of my sandwich before heading into the bedroom.

She had gotten dressed and was applying makeup in the mirror. I looked her up and down and licked my lips. This was going to be an interesting evening.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door. "Coming!" she said, dabbing at her eyes as she finished up her makeup and rushed to meet Chrissy.
