He Was Always There – Back To Work – Pt. 02
Getting back to work is harder than it should be but our hero is going to keep trying...
There seemed to be no way for Brad to keep his dick in his pants. After so many people learned about what he did and what he did for them they couldn't seem to stay away and many of them wanted to give a physical thanks. Not that Brad was completely against the thanks as they were given but he was really unable to get back to doing what he loved to do – help people.
He had just left the house of the CEO of the B.U.S.H. Foundation, Molly Graness. He was drawn there on the pretense of getting information about the upcoming auction for the hospital. While they did do some work and information gathering Molly ended up wanting to have sex. Well, that's not entirely true. She just wanted to get a peek at his manhood like her niece, Brigitte, had but it ended up getting out of hand.
Doing a slow drive back to his apartment Brad was uncertain how to obtain a little privacy so he could complete the details of the auction. This auction would raise money for the children's portion of the hospital and he still had many contacts to attend to. Companies across the country had been getting word-of-mouth about what Brad was doing for his relatively small city and everyone seemed to want a piece of the charity. It wasn't meant to be expanded because while he enjoyed helping people he possessed a certain selfish demeanor that it should be where he was.
An idea presented itself for some kind of privacy so Brad changed the direction of his small car and went to the east end of town. There rested a small but thriving motel/diner called The Bearly. This was a nice little place that Brad was able to help reinvent itself to attract more patrons and the name was actually the identity of the owner and proprietor, Jack Bearly. There was a small issue with the name since Jack's name was actually pronounced "burly" but everyone called him "barely." No one knows where the name came from but there is a Favre in the world, which has letters in the wrong position, so; the name became The Barely but spelled in Jack's name. Bearly. A little silly, maybe, but it helped to draw folks in especially when the food in the connected eatery got so good after Brad had run into a man who had been down on his luck but was a wonderful cook.
Pulling into the very full parking lot just after noon, for it was coming onto lunch, Brad began to question whether he should attempt this. Sure, Jack said he could stop by any time if Brad needed something but Brad was not generally one to take. There were times he had, sure – his apartment, his car and some other small sundries – but he always felt an uncomfortable knot in his stomach whenever he asked for anything. Still, it had to be done.
Finally finding a spot Brad took his knapsack with all of this work and headed to the front office of the motel. There was small
dingaling
as the door was opened and Brad spied Jack sitting behind the reservation counter. The entryway and office of The Bearly was homey and decorated with some small stuffed animals from the woods out beyond the motel and one giant, completely fake, growling with an odd wink, brown bear in the far corner.
Jack turned at the sound and said with surprise, "Brad! My, my, boy, it's so nice to see you." Jack wore a loggers outfit complete with a red flannel shirt underneath dark blue coveralls and mountainous Wolverine work boots. Jack rose from the chair and walked around the counter and gave Brad a short hug, which Brad returned.
"Hey, Jack," Brad said quietly but solidly. "I was wondering if I could ask a small favor."
"Wait, what?" Jack's face, covered in a silvery gray beard and moustache, smiled wide and his eyes had the always friendly presence that let people relax in his state. "Brad Sintec is asking for something? I can't believe it."
Brad smiled back and was, as always, immediately at home in Jack's company. "I am sorry for it but do you have a room available? I just need a quiet place to work for a little while. I will pay for the room, of course."
Jack's good natured face softly turned down into negative tension of sadness. "I'm sorry, Brad, but I can't accept your money. It's no good here..."
Brad went immediately to what he may have done wrong to warrant such a response. Being as literal as he sometimes was he didn't immediately see Jack's frown turn upside down.
"Come on, now, Brad, we've talked about this," Jack continued easily, almost fatherly. "You've made several lives better here and if you need something to help you all you had to do was ask."
Relief flooded Brad's face and he breathed a little easier until Jack spoke again. "Unfortunately, though, I don't have any clean rooms. I just had someone leave a little while ago and neither Mary nor Janice have been over to clean the room."
"Did they destroy the table in there," Brad questioned. "Because that's all I need. That and the chair. I'll try not to get in the ladies' way should they come in to clean up." Brad's face was smiling but there was a pleading in his eyes.
Jack threw a hand towards Brad, as if brushing any inconvenience away, and said, "Sure, if you don't mind then I don't. Here. Number eight. The only room facing the woods directly so it should be pretty quiet." Through the air flew a heavy key on a tapered keyring stylized to look like the room number.
Brad caught the key easily enough and thanked Jack profusely as he left the office. Jack sat back at his desk and got himself back to work while Brad grabbed his things and headed around the outside of the country-styled twenty rooms and easily wandered around to the back to number eight which almost sat by itself as if an afterthought at the time of its construction.
The woods beyond the view of the room were breathtaking in their early afternoon light with the sun shining through the trees, causing a glare of indistinct shapes through the sunlight and the loam. Brad stopped for a moment to enjoy the glory before him.
When the moment ended Brad finished the short walk to room eight and opened the door. Upon stepping in he saw that, indeed, it had not yet been cleaned up. The bed's sheet were strewn about and the top covering was partly on the floor. There were towels thrown to the floor in front of the bathroom and there was still steam escaping from that same bathroom. Almost like night's tenant left only minutes ago.
Brad cared for none of these things as he found the table near the big window next to the door, sat and set down his paperwork, phone and pens. He took another moment to open the curtain and stare outside at that beautiful wood. It really was nice. But, it was time to get back work.
The door to the room stayed open and Brad was able to get many things completed before a shadow fell through the window and forced Brad to turn on the lights of the room. There was no realization for how long he had worked. Brad shut the door and sat back down at the table, glancing at the clock near the bed. Holy smoke, Brad thought, I've been here for nearly four hours!
With a grumble in his belly Brad packed up his papers and sundries and placed the bag on the chair and pushed the chair under the table. Closing the drapes and then the door, verifying it was locked, Brad made his way to the diner.
Stepping into the relatively small establishment Brad had to wait a couple minutes before getting a seat. He knew the waitress by name and she him and he was able to order his food fairly quickly. Only a few minutes later Brad's food arrived and was interestingly scarfed down without prevalence or ceremony – a simple fare but very good. He rose from the chair without even waiting for the receipt and approached the waitress, Glenda, dropped a twenty in her apron, kissed her on the cheek and left the diner. He didn't make a lot of money, as a matter of fact he made almost none, but when he could he'd give a little more to someone who needed it more than he did.
Back to the room Brad moved, wanting to waste no more time. Yes, he did get quite a bit done in those hours when he first entered the room but there was still paperwork to do and many stages to set for the program in two days.
When he rounded the corner he saw that there were lights on within the room. That must mean that either Janice or Mary were doing their thing so he guessed it was time for him to leave. The curtains were still drawn but that could be just for the privacy of the job. The only problem was that he needed his knapsack, left in the room, in the chair, slid under the table. Hopefully whichever lady was cleaning the room didn't take it out yet.
Brad lightly knocked on the door and keyed it open. What he saw when he entered surprised him greatly but he entered quickly and closed the door with the quick look back to see if anyone else was outside. Thankfully there was no one that he could see.
With cart in the room full of the normal janitorial items – cleaners, towels, sheets and pillow cases, TP, brushes and whatnot – stood a young lady in the full nude clearing the sheets from the bed and tossing them to the floor. Her body had no tan lines over the earth three-four* color of skin that held a very nice sized set of breasts with dark brown areolae and nipples. The neatly trimmed landing strip of hair between her wonderfully toned legs was a simple marvel of personal engineering to Brad – how do women get that so straight down there? – and arms that just threw the bed sheet to the floor showed a simple but powerful strength within their movements.
For the life of him Brad could not remember which of the women this was at The Bearly, Janice or Mary. He'd had very little dealing with them in the past even though Jack spoke of them frequently and with admiration.
The woman's hazel eyes speared Brad with an "I caught you peeking" look coupled with the smirk from her mouth and cheeks.
"I'm sorry," Brad began, "Jack said I could use the room until you needed to clean up. I'll just get my things and get out of your way." Despite the fact that Brad's eyes never left the gorgeous woman's body the tone of his voice was calm.
"It's okay, Brad," the young woman returned. "Jack told me you were working here, too. I thought I'd put on a show a little for you."
