Millie's head snapped up. "You said what now?" She queried as she leant back, hoping that she'd misheard.
"I said; my name is Drew
Rasenbach
..." He repeated it slowly this time, enunciating it like she was hard of hearing.
"Holy shit!" She groaned dropping her head into her hands. "That's what I thought you said. Oh Fuck!"
Of course that's who he'd be!
Millie thought.
Who else could he be?
She'd been having shitty luck all day, why would now be any different? Millie looked up, her eyes scanning the sky again. "It really is fuck with Millie day today huh?" She said dejectedly.
Drew frowned at her. "I'm sorry did I miss something?"
Anger flared again and this time Millie wasn't going to bite it back. "Oh you missed something all right!" She practically snarled at him as she poked him in the chest. "You follow me out here, make me think you're the Good Samaritan and the whole time you're putting on the charm, you're only thinking about how to dip your wick!"
"I beg your pardon?" He interjected, confused by her accusations.
"Oh don't play the innocent with me!" Millie continued. In all honesty she'd been thinking about sticking it to her boss but not like this! "You
Rasenbach's!
You're all the same huh? You think the whole universe revolves around you and that you can do whatever the hell you like without consequence! Ha! Well not today buddy!" Millie took a breath readying herself to hit him full swing. She was so angry she could have spit!
How on earth could she have been so stupid? Why had she not thought to ask if he had a girlfriend or wife when he'd done the same to her? He had her so out of sorts that she hadn't even thought about whether or not he might have been married.
That was no excuse of course! Millie
always
made a habit of checking a guys hand before she even flirted with them, searching for the telltale sign of a tan line where a ring should be. But she hadn't done that this time and now she was faced with the very real prospect of having just slept with her boss's husband – well ex-boss – but still. Her eyes flicked down to his hand. No ring, not even a tan line of where a ring should be.
Well that meant nothing!
Millie might have been many things, but a home wrecker she was not, and she never ever,
ever
slept with married men! Hell she didn't even flirt with them. And now? Now, because of this absolutely horrid day, her amazingly awful run of bad luck, her appalling lack of good judgement, well now she'd done both! And she felt terrible about it... And angry!
"Have you any idea what you've just done? Do you even feel any remorse over it?" Millie demanded. It was a purely, anger driven question and one she didn't expect an answer too but Drew tried to answer her.
"I don't know what you're going on about Millicent." He said trying to placate her with a calm voice placing a hand on her arm. "But whatever you think it is I've done I can assure you that you have it all wrong."
"Oh really?" Millie snarled at him again shaking off his hand. "I have it wrong do I? Well how'd you like to know that it's all because of
your wife
that I'm out here in the middle of nowhere in the first place hmm?"
A look somewhere between confusion and surprise flashed over Drew's face. "I'm sorry? My wife...?" He began.
"Yes your wife! Oh, don't try to deny it! I know her! For Gods' sake, I used to work for Angela. Before she fired me that is! She's the reason I was tearing out of the parking garage to begin with. Why I was crying, why I took the wrong highway out of town and ultimately why I ended up here, stranded on the side of the road when you came along to
rescue
me!" Millie growled. "God, and I thought today couldn't get any worse! Now I've just fucked my ex-bosses husband!" Millie continued. She was so angry she wasn't thinking straight because it never once occurred to her that he might have been her ex-bosses
ex-husband
.
"Whoa!" Drew began holding up his hands like he was warding off a charge. "Wait a minute there, now I
know
you've got it all wrong..." He tried to get his point across but Millie wasn't listening, too busy berating herself and him to really hear what he was saying.
"I knew it, I just knew it! It was too good to be true! And you! You don't even feel bad about it do you?" Millie accused as she pushed herself forward, making Drew step back a little. Her skin squeaked against the metal of her car as she slid down to the ground taking the weight on her good foot as she reached up and poked him in the chest again to emphasis her words. "You're not even the slightest bit sorry are you?"
Gravel dug uncomfortably into the soles of her feet but Millie ignored it as she looked up into his face. She was already royally pissed off, so you can imagine her chagrin when she saw his eyes shining merrily, amused at her tirade and barely fighting back the laughter.
"What the
hell
?" Millie growled at him incredulously. "You think this is funny?"
At that Drew did laugh... a deep and hearty laugh.
"I'm glad you think this is so fucking hilarious!" She spat at him sarcastically as she turned and tried to limp away, her hand on her car for support.
"Oh Millicent, I'm sorry, but you should see your face!" He said as he reached over and grasped her elbow.
She shook off his hand roughly and tried to hobble away again. "Leave me alone, you arsehole!"
"Millicent stop! Please?" He said his voice acquiescent now. "Will you please let me explain?"
"I don't want to hear your fucking excuses." Millie said angrily.
"Oh, for Gods'
sake
!" Drew growled as he grabbed her shoulder to spin her around. His fingers slipped, catching at the material of her shirt. Without meaning to, he yanked on it roughly and her blouse pulled apart as two buttons came flying loose. Millie, already off balance due to her ankle, spun around and fell back hard against the door of her car. Realising what he'd done Drew immediately began to apologise. "Millicent, I'm sorry I..."
Shock at Drew's action rendered her speechless; Millie's mouth hung open in surprise. Then anger; white and hot, irascibly rose up and nearly blinded her. Millie virtually screamed like a fish wife as she threw herself forward. Arms flailing, she honestly didn't know what she was doing but she was so angry all she could think about was bludgeoning him to death with her bare hands.
He'd made such a
fool
of her. Just like his damn wife had, and now he was going to put his hands on her again?! Millie didn't bloody think so! She hissed and yelled, her hands like claws as she struck at him, not sure if she was landing any hits but not truly caring. Her anger needed an outlet, as he was as good a one as any.
"Millicent!" Drew barked as he warded off her blows with his arms. He growled and wrestled with her, grabbing at her arms until he captured them and clamp them down beside her ribs. He pushed his body against her and pinned her against the car's rear door.
"Let me go, you prick!" Millie yelled, struggling hard against his hands.
"No way! Not until you promise to settle down." Drew told her. Millie couldn't believe how calm he was. Just another mark against him she thought as she continued to twist her arms in his grip. She could feel the bulge of his crotch as it swelled against her belly. She couldn't believe it. He was getting turned on even now?
Her mind reeled back in righteous anger although her treacherous body betrayed her and she felt an electric thrill fire across her senses which set her pulse to racing for an entirely different reason – which in turn made Millie even angrier! She didn't want to feel this arousal, this raw attraction she experienced towards this man, a man that was married and should bloody well know better!
