Diamonds In The Ruff

by John Hudson

 

SUNDAY

 

It is 6:00 Sunday evening and Julie has a date with John at Ruby's diner about five blocks away. After a quick shower to rid her body from the grit of the day Julie dresses in a pair of Red panties and matching bra. Next she puts on a matching Red garter belt and tan stockings followed by a beige slip. To compliment this underwear choice Julie puts on a Red cotton dress that zips up the back and a pair of black 4.5" stiletto high heels. She carries a matching purse.

Julie is confident as she locks her house and begins her walk to the restaurant. The steady click click of her high heels reminds her of the confidence she has in herself. She reminds herself of the relationship with John and that it is not just a relationship built on trust, but upon the presence of Jesus in her life. As she walks she realizes that if it were not for the spiritual power invested in her through Christ that her life would be worthless.

Julie enters the restaurant shortly before 6:30 just in time to meet John, but he has not arrived. She seats herself at a quiet table toward the back of the restaurant. It is a cozy section where she and John often meet. She sets her feet on the floor and slowly sips an iced tea. At 7:30 John finally arrives, having been detained by business as a reporter for the local paper. Julie is just about to get up and leave, but he convinces her otherwise. She reseats herself and they order a pleasant dinner and engage in small talk.

About 9:00 p.m. they finish the meal and desert and decide to head for Julie's place. Even though John's car is only about a block away they decide to walk. "Sure you want to walk the five blocks back to your house in your heels Julie". "My car is just up the block a bit". "No, Julie responds I am doing fine in my shoes tonight, besides it is such a clear and beautiful evening and we should enjoy it". So off they head for her house.

When they are about 100 yards from Julie's front door John notices a light on downstairs. "Julie, is that light supposed to be on?" "No, John it is not. I wonder what could be going on inside". "Lets get down in the grass and stay put a few minutes and see what happens". The grass in the mostly vacant field has just a touch of dampness and John watches Julie as she squirms to avoid the wet grass. They watch intently for what seems like a very long time. They are almost convinced to go ahead toward the house when John sees a woman's figure in the living room. "Come on, lets get closer", he says as he points to the woman in the living room. He lets Julie move in front as he watches Julie do her best to keep the grass from staining her beautiful dress and high heels. She has a hard time keeping the heels from grabbing into the grass as they move. They are finally within hearing distance when John motions to Julie that they are going to have to be VERY quiet now. Shortly, a man joins the woman on the porch of the house. They are obviously quite upset that they had not found what they were looking for. Julie and John can hear the woman walking furiously on the wood porch as she exclaims that she would find whatever it was they were looking for. Her heels tap viciously on the wood and concrete as they hurriedly leave the house and get into their car.

When the car has disappeared John helps Julie to her feet and she totters momentarily to regain her balance after lying in the grass almost an hour. They slowly walk up the steps and into Julie's house to see a mess of things on the floor from drawers pulled out of cabinets. "I'm afraid to look upstairs in my room", Julie remarks as they head up the stairs to her room. Sure enough there was hardly a bare spot on the floor from the overturned drawers and clothes pulled from closets. "Lets get this stuff cleaned up and see what you have left" John comments as he heads for the kitchen and some trash bags. John and Julie spend another hour on Julie's room as they pitch underwear and dresses that had been thrashed with a knife and ripped to shreds in an effort to locate something. Julie is very quiet as she places most of her entire wardrobe into the trash bags. "Looks like about all I will have to wear for awhile are the clothes on my back", she remarks. That can't be totally bad John thinks to himself as he admires in her slightly tarnished dress and 4.5" heels. The two spend an additional two hours cleaning the rest of the house which entailed picking up even more items that had been dumped out of drawers. A couple of times Julie kneels down on the floor to pick up items and her heels come out of her shoes. The reinforced heel of her stockings is a pleasant site to John.

After picking up most of the items they adjourn to the kitchen and brew some fresh iced tea. While waiting for the tea to brew John notices Julie has placed her back to the counter and she lets her heels run in and out of her shoes while they wait on the tea. John can tell Julie's feet are really tired as they wait and talk patiently.

Julie and John have been seeing each other for about 3 years now and yet part of Julie's past has remained a mystery. Tonight, for example John wonders, why would anyone want anything from Julie's house and what is it they could possibly have been looking for. He really thought he knew Julie pretty good. She had come from a good family in the Denton, Texas area and graduated from high school with honors and gone on to the University of North Texas to major in business accounting before going to work for Peterbilt Trucking as an Administrative Secretary. They had met through a mutual friend about three years ago. The relationship had begun as friends and is now to a courtship relationship within the past six months. They enjoy each others company and are thrilled at the contemplation of marriage. They are a couple who have placed their trust in Jesus as their personal savior and lean on Him for a mentoring relationship and yet this piece of mystery this evening hangs over them like a cloud.

As the tea finishes brewing in the ice tea maker they pour themselves a glass that nearly empties the pitcher and head for the couch. As they sit down John asks Julie for an explanation of this evenings events expecting to get a casual brush off as "Oh, it's no big thing". Instead, Julie says "Do you really want to hear," as she sits and slowly crosses her left leg over the right. "Yes," John says sitting very quietly." "It all began four years ago just before we met. I had gotten in with a wrong crowd at UNT and the couple we saw in the house tonight decided they would rob a jewelry store in Kansas City, where the guy, Bruce, was from. It would be a one-time hit and we would split up and meet in San Francisco in six months to split up the take. I was the driver of the get-away car. The heist of about $10,000 in diamonds went off without a hitch and I drove the couple to an abandoned airfield where they left. Only one thing went wrong. They mistakenly left the diamonds in the car in the wrong pouch. When I realized I actually had the diamonds I kept them hidden with me. I still have them in my possession. I also decided I had done a very wrong thing and need to return the diamonds to the jewelry store in KC. About a month ago the couple finally located where I was living and have been following me ever since. Why it took so long to find me only God can answer, except this place is a hole in the wall and God was on my side. An additional thing you should remember is that shortly after the heist I turned my entire soul over to Jesus to be an instrument for His kingdom. I really want to return the diamonds, but with the couple now in pursuit I don't know how I can accomplish this. I know they will kill me if they get the chance. I have to confide in someone. Can you think of a way out of this mess?"

"Wow", I said as I watch Julie slowly begin to drop the heel of her foot out of her shoe. It goes no further. "Where are the diamonds now"? "They are in a very safe place, but need to be moved from this house soon. I fear the couple will return very soon for another look and it's only a matter of time before they are found," Julie says. "Are they safe for tonight," I ask. "Oh yes, most assuredly," she comments back. "Then what do you suggest I do," I said. "I would like you to keep an eye on me from now until we can end this with the couple in jail and the diamonds returned to the rightful owners," she said uncrossing her legs and placing her feet on the cushion a foot or so from my hands. "No problem, I said. "I think I need a day or so to come up with a plan. This could begin to get complicated." "Since my car is still back at the diner, I will walk back to get it and take the evening and tomorrow to work on a possible solution. I'll pick you up after work and we can go from there. Ok:" "Fine, but first would you rub my feet before you leave. These heels are beginning to hurt my feet." "Sure," I said thinking that they were probably hurting long ago and that she was just too embarrassed to take them off. Come to think of it, this was the first opportunity I had been given to really touch her in any sensitive place. Perhaps our relationship was beginning to take on a little more sincere level," I thought. I carefully inserted my index finger in the instep of her right foot and massaged her arch. The nylon against my fingers felt good and I slowly moved toward the toes of her foot to get under he arch and then back to the heel. By this time her shoe was coming off and I went ahead and removed it and put it between us. She ooooohed and awwtheyd as I massaged her toes and ball of her foot and back and even up her leg. After about 10 minutes I began the same maneuver on her other foot. She was most appreciative of this as I removed the second shoe. But this time before putting it on the couch I stopped to examine the shoe itself only for a few seconds, but enough time to begin a thought process that might just work. As I finished up massaging Julie's feet I asked. "How many diamonds are there Julie and what caret are they?" I think there are 14 to 20 and they are about ¼ to ½ of a caret. We will just have to examine them and see. Do you want me to bring them with me tomorrow?" "Oh No," I said "Too risky." "We will leave them right where they are till we discover a safer place." "Well, it's about time for me to leave now," I said getting up and giving her legs and feet a final few pats. She walked me to the door obviously considerably shorter than she had been before, but more comfortable. I had to admit to myself as I left that I really liked her in heels and closer to my head. I thought of our mysterious guests and yet nice evening together as I walked back to my car.

 

ON THE OTHER FRONT:

Bruce and Lucy had come out of Julie's house with absolutely nothing, gotten in their car and driven to their apartment in total silence. Finally Lucy said as she was getting out of the car. "I know those diamonds are some place in that house. I can just feel it. We'll get them sooner or later." They climbed the long steps to their third story apartment, Lucy's heels tapping hard against the wood walkway the entire way. Bruce was keenly aware of Lucy being very upset over the entire evening. He too was thinking that for as long as they had been trying to find Julie they should have had better luck.

As they enter their one bedroom efficiency apartment they come together. "I know this has not been an easy evening for you," Bruce says, "but I also think those stones are somewhere in her house". He pulls Lucy to him swiftly and plants a kiss sweetly on her lips. Lucy responds confidently by placing her hands on Bruce's thighs and then his back massaging him quietly. As they embrace Bruce slowly moves Lucy toward the arm of the sofa where Lucy sits down. Bruce continues to stand. Bruce methodically begins to massage Lucy's breasts beneath her blouse and slip while Lucy uses the heel of her shoe to move up and down Bruce's leg. Bruce is ecstatic as he senses her 4.5" heel moving up and down his leg. After a few minutes (which seems like hours) of this action Bruce transfers his hand to Lucy's shoe and slowly removes it and as the shoe drops to the floor he feels his body begin to tremble. By this time Lucy has removed her blouse and a sense of coming sexual pleasure begins to fill her body as well.

At this point Bruce stops a moment to remove his own shoes, pants and shirt while Lucy watches. He then picks up Lucy's heel from the floor and swoops Lucy into his arms and carries her to their small bed. Lucy then uses her shoe that is still on to work up Bruce's legs. The feeling of the nylon on his legs is sensual and pleasing. At last he removes the other shoe by its heel and lets it slowly drop to the floor to join the other one. From here on it is one pleasing move after the other as the couple join in the ecstasy of marital intercourse.

After the lovemaking has passed Lucy again focuses on the diamonds and how she can get them away from Julie, even at the expense of Julie's life. She contemplates a return to Julie's home on Tuesday morning when she knows Julie will be on a work related trip and she can go in alone and have several hours to look over the house.
