Halstrom
Sitting at his usual table the next evening, Hal could barely contain his anger with Hailey. He left her place around nine pm and she had promised to call him this morning with her answer. Not only had she not called, but she hadn’t answered his text messages either. Could he have read the situation wrong?
He thought back to last night while he watched her hustle around the unusually busy restaurant. By the time Hailey had gotten out of the tub. A fridge, twice the size of the one she’d been using was delivered and after a little shuffling, he and his workers had it fitting snuggly in the space the old one had sat. Hal had several fridges from when they had updated all the break rooms. This one was almost new and the only reasonthey weren’t using it was for aesthetics. But with it tucked into Hailey’s space, you couldn’t see the long scratch down the right side of the appliance.
They took the old one back and put it in storage at his building so when and if she moved, they could put the apartment fridge back. When Hailey stepped into the living room her jaw dropped. When she saw all the grocery bags were empty. She ran over to the fridge and flung it open looking at all the neat stacks lined up. Hal realized he was a little OCD, but she was so the opposite, He felt he was helping her by organizing. Something she admitted wasn’t in her wheelhouse unless it was about numbers and was most definitely in Hal’s wheelhouse.
“How? I mean I’ve learned today that you are a powerful, resourceful man but, how did you get a larger fridge in the space for starters? Unpack the groceries, and make dinner in the hour since I’ve been in the tub?”
“Two.”
“Huh?”
“It’s been two hours, Hailey. And it was easy. As soon as you were in the tub, I took the measurements and had this brought over from storage. It’s not new. It used to be in one of our break rooms.”
“Oh. Okay. That is still hard to fathom. But uh, thank you. I was excited until I saw the monumental task of finding a spot for everything and it became way too much.”
Her mouth spoke a positive message, but her body language said something else. She was hiding something, holding back, but now was not the time for him to take steps. So much had happened between them since he saw her in his lobby. They both needed time to process and come down from the massive endorphin high they experienced.
Hal saw the dark circles beneath her eyes and knew she hadn’t slept after he left last night. Even after giving her anotherorgasm and tucking her in. She rolled over and nestled into her bed, reminding Hal of a kitten. He’d wanted to slide in behind her and feel her hot ass against his groin, and her soft body in his arms. He’d left to the soft sounds of her snores, or had she been faking?
He kept his eyes on her, but she was avoiding him looking at him. The longer she avoided him the more his blood boiled. If the answer was no, then fine, but hiding from Hal would not do.
A short time later, an opportunity presented itself when the diner slowed down and the last three tables were chatting as they ate. Hal stood as Hailey passed him.
“Stop right there.”
Hailey stopped in her tracks, almost dropping her tray of empties.
“Meet me in the alley, NOW!” Hal didn’t shout, but the command was there.
“I can’t, I’m working,” she whined.
“Dump your tray and ask the other server to cover for a ten-minute break.”
Hal dropped some bills on his table and once out the front door, walked around the corner to the alley and waited for Hailey.
A moment later, she walked out the back door, her arms folded across her chest. A defensive stance Hal noticed, but why? What had he done? Maybe he should have left earlier but when she’d said, “Please Daddy, please fuck me,” he’d obliged her request.
Without waiting for an explanation Hal placed his foot on the top step and pulled Hailey over his thigh.
“Fine, we’ll do this your way, Ms. Carberry.”
Hailey squealed when he pulled up her skirt and brought his hand down on her quivering flesh.
“Ouch. Stop Hal. What if someone sees us?”
“Then they will know a naughty woman is getting what she deserves.”
Hal yanked her panties between her ass crack, bringing his hand down on her unprotected backside.
“Tell me why you broke your word and didn’t call me this morning?”
Hailey flailed over Hal’s thigh, squeaking and cried out with each stroke, but she didn’t answer his question. Hal had been prepared for this and had brought his thickest ruler from his desk with him.
Sliding it out from the pocket inside his blazer. Hal brought the ruler down on Hailey’s sit spot. She squealed a little louder than before and kicked her legs in earnest. But this little brat wasn’t going anywhere.
“Does it hurt Hailey?”
