She dials her best friend Callie. While Brandon, one of her coworkers husbands is getting out of his SUV. She has no idea he is there.
“Hey… You sure you don’t wanna come to this dinner?” She asks practically begging.
“Jess, I’m with jimmy.”
“Put it on speaker.”
“Jimmy, someone wants you to hear this.”
“Jimmy, I hate you.”
“Awh, kiddo, you’ll be alright.” He reassures her.
“I don’t even talk to anyone, I have a straight working relationship. They don’t know anything really about me. Who am I supposed to talk too? Myself?”
“Jessica, you will be alright. Come to the house when you’re done. Godfather is already in the DVD player.”
“Alright. Well I am going in… Alone. Haha”
“Oh, shut up you’ll be fine.”
“Alright, I’ll see you when I get home.”
“Hey.” He approaches her.
“Hi. How are you?” She asks nervously.
“Good. Are you here for the Westford dinner?”
“Yes I am, you?”
“Unfortunately yes.”
“Unfortunately?”
“I don’t talk to anyone either…”
“Oh.. You heard that? I was just being dramatic.”
“I understand, I feel the same.”
“Can I ask you who you’re related to?”
“Alexa, I’m her husband.”
“Oh cool. I’m one if the assistants.”
“Jessica right?”
“How’d you know?”
“She talked about you the other day, said you were new and stuff. Don’t worry all good things.”
“Oh, okay. Well, we better get in there.”
Brandon held the door from her.
As she walks in her eyes scan the whole place. First for the vets, then the management, then Alexa. She doesn’t know why, but she watches him take his seat. There isn’t a kiss and she doesn’t perk up. She finds a seat close by.
She is surrounded by two techs and their husbands and two of the daycare guys with their wives. They all say hello, and are introduced. They begin talking about the most mundane topics. They ask if she is dating anyone, her answer is no. As it had since he walked away a year ago.
She starts to get uncomfortable. She’s been there almost two hours. Dinner and dessert have been served. She’s heard all the presentations. Her phone beeps.
Callie: “everything okay?”
Jess: “fine, I’ll be home soon.”
Callie: “okay.”
Jess is ready. She came, she participated and now it’s time to go. She unknowingly looks over to Brandon. He is looking right at her. Alexa is caught up in some deep conversation with the other girls.
He mouths “everything okay?”
She shakes her head yes and nods to the door.
“Let me walk you out.”
“Are you sure?” She mouths to him.
He nods.
She gets up, grabs her coat and proceeds to the door, about twenty steps behind her is Brandon. No one notices them leaving.
“Why don’t you stay?”
“I didn’t want to be here in the first place. Makes me uncomfortable.”
“I’m sorry. Drive safe, enjoy the godfather. I can’t believe you even know what that is.” She back leaning against her car, he opened the door for her.
“Thank you. It was really nice to meet you. Never too young for a classic.”
“You’re right about that.” He shut the door and watched her drive off. He wasn’t the cheating type, he loved Alexa but Jess drew another side of him. She was sweet and caring. There was a depth behind her soft eyes. He wanted to hold her and tell her everything was okay. He stood there smiling for a minute before returning to the party.
About a week later.
Work was hell, emergency after emergency, never enough hours in the day. She got a call from her mechanic, they have to keep her car another couple days. She was so screwed. This meant she’d be walking home from work today.
6:45pm, she’s finally clocked out, changing into something a little cooler and starts her walk. It was her day to lock up so no one was there. She starts down the street.
He sees her walking with her bags. He knows better than to keep driving. They made eye contact, she knows he saw her. He pulls over and calls her to him.
“What’re you doing?”
“Walking home.”
“Where is your car?”
“It’s in the shop. Someone hit it when it was parked on the street.”
“You’re not walking. I know you had a bad day. Get in.”
“Brandon, you don’t have too… I can walk.”
“Jess, you don’t have too. Get in. I’ll drive you.”
“I don’t want to inconvenience you.”
“You’re not.”
“Thank you.” She finally gets in and tell him her address.
They talk about work, her weekend, his weekend and her dogs. He pulls up to her house. She lingers.
“Thank you, Brandon.”
“Anytime. Let me see your phone.”
“Is that a good idea?”
“Yes, because if you need a ride, text me.”
“What if she sees?”
“She won’t.”
Jess opens her hand reluctantly and he grabs her phone, putting his number in it.
“I’ll see you around.” Brandon smiles at her.
As she walks into her house, he sits in his car not believing how much he wants to get to know her.
The next day.
Work was easy, something about Thursdays, were easy. Maybe because she didn’t have to work Friday. Today she was in an exceptional mood. It was 5:30pm and her day was almost over. They were gonna get out on time.
Brandon: What time should I show up?
Jess: After everyone is gone, I don’t want her to see.
Brandon: okay, so what time?
Jess: 6:20?
Brandon: I’ll see you at 6:20.
Her nerves are shot.
She saw Alexa leave and thought about how bad this was, but Brandon was attractive. He was sweet and caring. She realized how happy she was to see him when he pulls up.
“Hey, how was your day?”
“It was pretty good actually, how was yours?”
“Good, the kids were good today. It was ‘work on your project’ day.”
“Haha, sounds like an easy good day.”
“It just got better.”
“Whys that?”
“Because their is a very beautiful girl in my passenger seat.”
“Oh, Brandon.”
He smiled and pulls away. He makes the ten minute drive to her house. As he pulls up her driveway, he looks at her with passion in his eyes, she turns to thank him, catching his stare.
“Jess.”
“What?”
He takes a deep breath and kissed her hard. She kisses him back, placing her hands on the back of his neck. She moans into his mouth and pulls away, biting and pulling on his lip.
“Oh my god.”
“That was one hell of a goodbye kiss.”
He leans in and kisses her again. She pulled away again.
“Someone is gonna see us…”
He licks his lips. “Jessica, I don’t care.”
“I do…”
He leans over and starts kissing her neck running his hands on her leg.
“Mmmm Brandon.”
“What baby?”
Part of her is screaming he’s married… to your coworker. The other part is screaming take him inside. She caves.
“Take me inside.”
He turns the car off, runs to her side, opens her door, picks her up and carries her inside as she’s kissing his neck. He lays her on the bed. Standing at the end of the bed he can’t believe what’s happening. She leans up, grabs his shirt and pulls him down to her.
He’s kissing her hard before he begins kissing her neck again. Her hands are on his head as she begins to move her hips Into his.
“Mmmm.” She moans.
“God, baby, I want you so bad.”
“Brandon.”
He stops and looks at her.
“Take me.”
With that being said he starts to take her shirt off, kissing up her stomach. She rips his shirt off. He kisses her again.
“Baby, you’re so sexy.”
She kisses him hard, biting at his bottom lip. She begins to pull his shorts off as he is ripping at hers.
He starts to kiss down her stomach again. Stopping to lick around her nipple. He takes one between his teeth and flicks his tongue over it while pinching other one. Then switches.
She is pushing her hips into his and moaning. He never planned on cheating on his wife. He never planned on craving another woman’s attention. but she hasn’t touched him since the youngest was born, two years ago.
He needed this. He needed to be a man and feel like one. Jessica just makes it that much better.
He kisses down her stomach dragging his tongue along her hips and waistline. She moans louder.
“Fuck baby.” She moans. It’s the first time she’s calls him that. The butterflies in his stomach told him this wasn’t going to be just about sex.
He licks the crease of her leg and runs his tongue up her slit. She jumps. He puts his hands under her ass and attacks her clit. He’s flicking his tongue and sucking on it. Her moans get louder.
“Oh Brandon. Oh my god.” She moans as she pushes her hips into him.
She continues the attack on her clit. She is wetter now than she’s ever been. He wants to take her over the edge.
He slides one finger in her hole and begins to slowly move it. The more she moans the faster he moves it and faster he flicks his tongue.
“I’m so close, right there, don’t stop.”
He sticks another finger in. He’s sliding them faster. She begins to tense. Every muscle in her body is tight.
He flicks his tongue a few more times and her body spasms, his face is covered in her wetness. She moans loud one more time.
“Ahhhhh, ohhhh fuckkkkk.” And cums.
He crawls up and kisses her.
“Baby. You’re so sexy.” He whispers as he crawls behind her and holds her.
“What time do you have to go?” She turns wearing a worried expression.
“Practice gets over at 830 and I usually stay till 9.” He smiles.
“Will you just hold me?”
“Of course baby.”
“Ill return it, I just need to regain my composure.” She smiles shyly.
“Not today. This was about you. You can get me back later.”
“But baby you’re so turned on.”
“That’s fine. I’m a man. I can handle it. Fall asleep I’m my arms. I’ll wake you before I go.”
“Okay baby.”
He lays behind her with his arms around her, scratching her back. It took all of five minutes and she was out. She slept till about 8:30 when she woke up and he wasn’t there. She was so mad he left without waking her. She thought maybe he regretted it. She picks up her phone to text him as he walks back in.
He could tell something was wrong. He crawls up to her.
“What’s on your mind babygirl?”
She smiled. “I thought you left… Without saying goodbye…”
“Oh honey.”
He kissed her Again, while Holding her tight.
“I wouldn’t leave you without a kiss goodbye, baby.”
She smiles and kisses him back.
“We still have a half hour. Come here.”
He puts her on his chest and holds her. Scratching her back as she lays there. He felt like he’d done this with her a million times, he loved the feeling. She makes him feel things his wife hasn’t in two years and he’ll fight to keep that feeling alive.
