That night, after she locked up and counted the money and put it away to be deposited, she sat at her desk, hearing the man above her moving around. She couldn’t say the kiss felt wrong, because it didn’t. But it was, for a few reasons.
For one, she was his boss. Not that that was a big thing in her book. She worked under the thought that as long as the atmosphere and work environment was okay, you could do whatever. But she didn’t know where he stood and what his thoughts were.
Two, the 12 year age gap; he was sexy and good looking and why in the world would he even look at her? It was obvious many females were eyeing her new bartender and that was great, and she knew she held no candle to those young sexy lines and curves. Not that she looked ol
Well, shit, she walked out to talk to him, not to admire the new bike. But how could she not when the black and blue body paint was calling out to her? And the moment that her leg went over the side and she sat down, she had quite a few images come to mind, and none of them was about talking. That wasn’t good! So, she took what little will power she had, climbed off the bike and faced him. They needed to have this talk; okay, she needed to have this talk. “Can we talk?” His gaze narrowed slightly at her but he nodded. “About last night...” “That hot ass kiss?” She couldn’t help but blush, which made her only curse at herself. She wasn’t a fucking virgin or someone who didn’t know her way around. &n
Jackie cleaned up around her house, her thoughts focused on one man and for the first time, it wasn’t that jackass of an ex husband. No, maybe thinking of him would be easier, but nope, her thoughts were focused on Bobby. And she wanted to yell. She knew it wasn’t fair, but for the moment, she was going to dwell on it. To her, the funny part about all of it, in fact, was that she had already had this talk with herself. She knew she couldn’t get involved with that man, so why be upset? Jackie sighed as she put the last plate away. She wasn’t dumb, she knew the emotion. And as much as she hated to admit it, it was straight out jealousy. Bobby did things to her body that she had long forgotten. And the bad part about all of it was that she knew
Bobby wasn’t usually a pissed off type of guy, but Monday, when he woke up he was pissed and moody and needed to get laid. Or punch the shit out of something. And since he didn’t think he was going to get laid soon, thanks to the damn images, he thought punching would be best. So he slipped on some basketball shorts and a tank top and headed out to the gym he saw the other day. At least he should be thankful that he didn’t have to see her tonight, for she didn’t need to come in. And he liked that she was able to spend more time with those kids, although the thought angered him. He paused at that; okay, maybe he wanted it to. He didn’t want to think about her or those kids. He pulled into a spot with a huff and walked into the gym. Usually it wasn’
“Greg, what are you doing here?” Buzz asked as he moved between Bobby and Greg. “I’m looking for Jackie.” “She’s not here, but come with me.” Buzz started leading the man away but quickly glanced at Bobby and pointed to the beach. “Take a walk,” he told him. “Right.” Bobby finished his beer and tossed it into the trash can before he headed out on the beach. He let out a breath as he walked along for a few minutes before he finally plopped his ass down in the sand. He knew he had no claim to Jackie, but he couldn’t even being to describe why he had such a problem with her ex. And for all his bad ass ways, he wasn’t really the type to start trouble. Bu
She walked in, her hair in a high ponytail and a dab of make up on, her thoughts a mash up of many things. She locked the door after she had flipped the lights on, checking the bars to see what she needed to grab before she opened. Jackie paused on her way to the stock room, though, as she smelled something. She turned around and saw Bobby coming in the back way, a bag in his hand. “Are you just getting back?” she questioned him, knowing that had been a good four hours since she’d seen him at the beach. He stopped in his tracks and looked up at her and then looked her over. “What? Oh, no. I went to grab something to eat.” His eyes traveled over her once more before he turned to a nearby table. &nbs
Jackie watched him go and then turned her gaze to Justin, lifting a brow at him. He grinned and held up his hands, smirking the whole time. Jackie could only shake her head, still trying to figure out exactly why Bobby would be upset at Justin’s harmless flirting, well to her. It couldn’t be over the fact that Justin was flirting, after all, Bobby had flirted with her as well. She frowned as she wiped down her section and went out to the floor to wipe down some of the tables. She chewed on her lips as she thought over everything while she picked up some of the empty bottles, her thoughts tumbling around like a washing machine cycle. Yes, she had the talk with herself that this thing with Bobby wasn’t right and she needed to stay away. But on the flip side, she also knew that something was attracting them. And it
The following morning, Jackie awoke with a killer headache; guess having a cry fest would do that to someone. “How stupid,” Jackie mumbled to herself. She rolled her eyes and climbed out of bed, just as Dylan walked in. “Hey mom.” “Hey sweetie. What time was Jordan’s dad coming to get you?” She asked as she rubbed her eyes and pushed her hair out of her face. “You still go about two hours.” Jackie smiled at her son and kissed his head. “Good. And you got your bag all packed?” &nbs
Jackie walked Sam to Rachel’s mom’s car and leaned in the window to talk to her, waving to Rachel who was also in the backseat. “Dylan’s friend, Jordan, will be staying the night soon, not next week because I’m working, but thereafter, maybe Rachel could come over as well?” “I think that would be great. We don’t have plans until closer to the end of summer. Just let us know when Jackie.” “Thanks Paula. Have fun girls. And let me know if you need anything.” Paula glanced over as the door opened and Bobby walked out, her breath catching. “Maybe I need to come have a
