>You were glad you found this ball under your bed.
>It helped pass the time between customers.
>The lunch rush had subsided and ushered in the late day slump.
>The only sound in the spa was the light music playing and the general "thump" your ball was making against the wall.
>Somep0ny opened your door just as you caught the ball.
>It was Lotus. "They can probably hear that racket you're making all the way in Canterlot."
>You get up off the floor and put the ball in your bag.
>"Then they should make more noise and cover me up. What's up?"
>Lotus points behind her. She looks irritated. "We have a customer who just came in asking deluxe treatment."
>Oh hell.
>The Deluxe took a few hours.
>It also usually involved a double massage.
>"So, I guess my number's up?"
>Lotus gets a smirk. "The downside of dating your employer is that you are the first name they call when they need help, let's go."
>Lotus leads you through the spa into one of the bigger rooms in the back.
>Inside was a beige colored earth pony with a blue mane. 
>"Mous, this is Pearl Necklace. Wife of Ponyville's Filthy Rich." Lotus said.
>Never heard of him.
>You can guess what his deal is just from the name though.
>"Hello Ma'am, I'll be your second masseur today."
>She gives you a once over. "They say your massages are to die for."
>Word spreads.
>"I like to think I know what I'm doing. Why don't you lay down on the bed and we'll get started?"
>She hops up on the bed. "I-I must admit, I've never had a massage before..."
>Lotus is quick to soothe. "Relax, we know what we're doing, we will take care of everything."

>Pearl Necklace paid her bill and left a generous tip on her way out.
>She should have, she kept you here an hour after closing.
>You and Lotus exit the spa rubbing your faces.
>This was not how either of you wanted to spend your Friday.
>The streetlamps flickered on as you stepped out.
>It was early spring, Winter Wrap Up was right around the corner.
>"Uhg. How a pony with as leisurely a life as her can have so many sore spots to complain about, I'll never know."
>Got that right...
>"You wanna get dinner?"
>Lotus looks up at you disbelieving. "Don't I normally have to drag you out just to get lunch?"
>You shrug.
>"I have been worn down today by the constant dribble coming out of that mares mouth. You game?"
>Lotus looks towards the center of town. "Diner?"
>You jerk your head to the side and start walking, Lotus close behind you.
>You both slump in your seats at the diner, the day's work catching up to you.
>Lotus is staring off into space with a grin on her face.
>You try to follow her gaze only for her to catch you and have her grin grow wider.
>"What?"
>She points a hoof past you near the edge of the patio. "That's where all this started."
>Oh yeah. She kissed you there.
>"I thought all this started when I pulled myself through your window?"
>She traces a hoof around her wineglass but still stares out. "Yeah, but you wouldn't have come to my house if it didn't start here."
>She turns to look at you. "How did you get to my window anyway?"
>"Jumped off a tree branch."

>The two of you find yourselves taking a late night walk after dinner.
>Lotus is silently resting on your back.
>She saw Rainbow hugging Anon around the neck one day and asked you about it.
>The obvious solution was piggy back rides.
>It worked out, she was pretty light.
>This was nice, Lotus just resting on your back, the silence of the road.
Heeeeey maaaaaan.
>God dammit Brain.
>You do this shit on purpose.
Let's rap, man.
>What?
Let's chat.
>About?
The mare on your back.
>Didn't we already have this discussion?
This is a new discussion.
>Joy.
Did you notice how many she put away at dinner?
>We put away quite a bit ourselves.
No, not that.
>Then what?
Look at how relaxed she is.
>So?
So? She trusts you.
>She just doesn't want to walk, Brain
No, this is trust. Trust me.
>I'm pretty sure she trusted us before.
Enough to get tipsy and let you carry her? Not likely.
>So, what's your point? 
I just think it's a bit strange for a guy to have claimed to be taking it slow only to now be taking his special somep0ny to his house.
>Wait, wh-
>"Oof!"
>You rub your face.
>You have run into your own door.

>"Dammit."
>You felt movement on your back.
>"Huh? Where are we?" you heard Lotus say.
>Shit.
>You look like a scumbag.
>"Uh...I ran into my house."
>She settles her head on your shoulder. "Cute."
>You think you see a smile.
>"Can I come in?" she asks.
>Whoa.
Wait.
>What?
>"Huh?"
>She gives you a peck on the cheek. "Has anyp0ny ever told you told you that you're cute when you're flustered? I never saw too much of your home when I was last here, care to give me the tour?"
>The last time she was here was during estrus.
>You can see how that would make paying attention hard.
>"Uhh...sure."

>You let Lotus down and open the door.
>You lead her through the house as you throw your bag on the couch.
>She passes right by the bathroom she was locked in.
>Guess she saw enough of that.
Should we be okay with this?
>Hey, if she trusts us, we should trust her.
>You come in on her in your room, she's looking at the models on display. "Quite the collection you have here, isn't it?"
>You sit down at eye level in the middle of the room. 
>"It's a hobby."
>She takes a few steps towards you until she is inches away from your face.
>"Is it weird?"
>Lotus starts to nuzzle your face with hers. "Hmmmm...Maybe I like weird?"
>You run your fingers through her hair.
>"That's weird."
>Lotus doesn't respond.
>It seems she's kissing your neck.
>Uhhh...
>Gents?
Uhhhhh...
>Thanks Brain.
Uuuhhhhh...
>Et tu Jimmies?
Roll with it.
>Heart?
Do it.
>Uhhh.
>You keep running your hand through Lotus's hair.
>That damn headband was in the way, get rid of it.
>She eventually leads up your neck and reaches your lips.
>Okay, wow, that's her tongue.
>She presses up against you and pushes you back.
>Way back.
>Lotus, I'm gonna fal-Ooof!
>Okay, she's on top of you now.
We should tell her.
>Lotus breaks the kiss and goes back to your neck.
>Her hoof reaches between yo-HELLO.
WE REALLY NEED TO TELL HER.
>"L-lotus..."
>Lotus works her way back up to your lips again.
>You try to get it out between breaths.
>"Lotus.."
>She breaks the kiss and looks at you with those big blue eyes of hers
>"Lotus, I-I never..."
>She starts stroking your hair and goes down to your ear. "Ssssshhh. Relax, I know what I'm doing... I'll take care of everything..."

>Morning.
>You didn't mind that it was morning.
>You had been up a while.
>You slept on the floor that night, the bed was too small for the two of you.
>Not that space was an issue. Lotus seemed content to sleep on your chest.
>You didn't mind either, the carpet/blanket combo felt good on your skin.
>Lotus stirred on your chest.
>"Morning, pretty pony."
>She rubbed her eyes. "Mmm...good morning."
>She plants a kiss on you and lays back down.
>Silence falls.
We gonna talk about this?
>What do?
Make a joke?
>"So, was it good for you too?"
>Laughter
>Score one for you.
>"Why is it that that's the first question guys always ask?" she says.
>You rub the nape of her neck.
>"Well, we passed out pretty quick last night. And I'd say I have a bit more reason to want a review.
>Lotus giggles again and rolls off your chest onto the floor.
>She scoots up to your head. "Yes. Despite your general lack of experience, you are a proficient lover."
>+10 ego.
>"But, I've had better." she teases.
>You roll your eyes and clutch your chest. 
>"Oh, how will I ever recover from such a horrible blow to my manhood?"
>That elicits a giggle as Lotus wraps herself in your arm. "I will admit though..."
>She looks around. "It was a new experience, making love with so many...tiny eyes watching."
>That got a chuckle from you.
>"Don't go pretending you don't enjoy an audience."
>You both laugh.
>"Hey...do we work today?"
>Lotus presses herself up against you and looks you in the eye. "I think I'm due for a personal day..."
>Lotus starts the same process as last night, working her way up your neck, as you pull the blanket over the two of you.
