Part 5 picks up on Wednesday morning. This installment has more sex as Hayleigh and Tom work out their personal issues, and Hayleigh lets some of her own demons out of their cages. Tom's sister, Danni, gives him a new perspective to chew on.

~~~ TUESDAY EVENING ~~~
She craned her head up to find my lips and kissed me, almost chastely. " Goodnight," she said before nestling back into my shoulder.
"Goodnight, Hay."
I fell asleep imagining us bundled up in blankets in front of a fireplace on a sub-zero Wisconsin night.
~~~ WEDNESDAY ~~~
We were awakened late by Hayleigh's cell phone. We didn't set an alarm so we could sleep in. We had shifted around during the night, so that when we woke up I was spooning her and our backs were to the table where our phones were. She crawled over me and flopped down sideways over my torso to reach her phone. It was a nice view!
"Hi, Mom.... No, we were just waking up....... What do you mean, why are we still in bed this late?...... Do you REALLY want to know?... Didn't think so....... For the millionth time, mother, I'm on birth control.... Then we'll deal with it....... I don't think we have any plans for the day beyond getting breakfast.......... Yesterday was incredible! We went sightseeing on this small airplane.... Like six people.... Unbelievably beautiful! And fun!...... Yes, and I'm going to make him buy me an airplane....... Of course I'm kidding....... I'll send more pictures....... We had a great dinner and went to a casino.... It was a blast!...... No, we didn't lose a lot of money.......... I don't know, no plans. I might keep him in bed all day and see if we can set a record.......... It was a joke, mother!...... I'm a big girl, Mom, give me some credit....... OK, I love you too.... Bye."
Again, it wasn't hard to fill in the blanks.
"So what's up with your mother being so worried about you getting pregnant? She keeps bringing it up."
"She a little paranoid about it. Have you ever noticed that Jennifer's birthday is about six months after may parents' wedding anniversary? Do the math."
"OK, but you're on birth control."
"So was Mom, when she got pregnant with Jennifer. It's not hundred per cent effective you know."
"So I've heard. So your parents had to get married?"
"Not really 'had to'. My mother told me that they knew they were going to marry eventually. Getting pregnant messed up their timetable. They wanted to spend a few years doing what they wanted to do before starting a family and getting tied down. Having Jennifer nixed that, big time! My mother wants me to have the freedom she didn't have, that's all. And she's worried that I'll end up being a single parent."
"Then I suppose we better hope your birth control does its job." I avoided acknowledging the elephant in the room of what would happen if Hayleigh did get pregnant, thus proving that a college degree does not equate to being smart. My father's admonition, 'For Pete's sake, be smart' rang in my head. We were playing with fire.
"It better! You've already put enough sperm in me to give me quadruplets!"
"Wanna try for quintuplets?" So much for being smart.
Hayleigh crawled over me and intentionally pressed her firm tits into my chest. I ran my palms over the length of her torso and over her hips, and then back again. I loved gliding my palm over the delightful curve of her hips. I couldn't get enough of the feel her.
"You know I would. I wouldn't mind being fucked silly right now. Or we could get breakfast first and not feel rushed."
I sensed that she wanted to get breakfast first, so I suggested that. She gave me a long kiss before rolling off me and padded bare-arsed to the bathroom. I'd never get tired of that view. I loosely gathered the towels from around the bed and tossed the bedspread haphazardly back in place. No sense in giving the housekeeping staff any more gossip material. I headed to the bathroom to shave and get ready to head out. Hayleigh was bent over the sink washing her face. My eyes were drawn to her tits hanging down and swaying as she washed. She caught me watching out of the corner of her eye and resumed washing with an amused grin.
"What is it," she asked as she straightened up, "that so fascinates guys about boobs?" She wasn't perturbed, just curious.
"Boobs in general, or yours?"
"In general."
"I suppose guys like boobs because guys are wired to like women. And women have boobs."
"That's circular! You're just saying guys like boobs because they do."
"That's exactly what I'm saying."
"Alright, but what specifically? What makes a great boob in guy world?"
"I don't know. Tastes vary. Different guys like different things. You know, vanilla, chocolate, strawberry."
"Every guy likes bigger though."
"Most do, sure. But some like smaller. And there's such a thing as too big."
"You like them bigger. Jennifer's are a lot bigger than mine. She's a D, I think."
"I think that's right. I didn't care about that, not really. I wasn't marrying her tits, I was marrying her."
"And she had big boobs, so part of the reason that you were attracted to her must have been her big boobs."
"OK, but now I'm here with you. By your logic, I must be attracted to your smaller ones. Which are not small. Just smaller than Jennifer's. But not small! Just so we're clear on that."
"Ugggg! OK, smart guy, yesterday you said my boobs were 'perfect.' I'm not fishing for compliments, because I already know you like them, God knows why, but what makes my little boobs perfect?"
"I keep telling you, they're not little."
"So you keep saying. Still, why are my tiny titties perfect?"
"You won't like the answer."
"I probably won't, but tell me anyway."
"Because they're yours."
"That's no answer, moron!"
She wasn't really upset. I could see that she was glowing inside despite the frustration of not getting an answer to the eternal question of why guys are fixated on girls' chests. I think it was finally sinking in that she had me. That's what happens when you lift your foot of the brake and stomp the gas. You lose control.
