That morning, Hailey woke up early, as usual. She liked beginning her day at sunrise, while the family was still asleep. Starting the day with some exercise gave her such physical and mental good, and it showed, she was resplendent when she had had her morning exercise dose.
Without making a noise, she put on her shorts and sports tank top then tied her sneakers. She went out, taking care not to make any noise when closing the door; her partner didn't like being woken up too early. He kept telling her that she was "too much" in the morning, that he preferred to take it easy and enjoy the bed, but he knew that it was a need for her. The first thing she noticed was the freshness of the morning which seemed to be more and more present as the Summer progressed but, above all, the dead calm that she was looking for when she went for her usual morning jog. Activity, freshness and peace; what could be better she kept saying to herself! You had to understand her, with four children and work, her life was not always easy.
She set out for a few miles of light jogging, just to get the blood flowing, wake up and feel good. She sometimes came across people in the neighborhood who, like her, enjoyed a little morning jog, but no one was as diligent as her. She had always kept in shape, and at 45 it showed, no one could really tell she had had four kids, she was in a stunning shape. It was also common for her to notice a neighbor or another jogger taking a peek at her, it always gave her a little thrill to know that she was getting attention even if she didn't do it for the eyes of others.
After her usual round, she returned home, to find that her gang was still sleeping soundly. She slipped into the shower, it was also a moment that she loved in her daily routine: a nice hot shower after spending time in the fresh morning air, it was soothing and comforting. That morning she enjoyed the feeling of the soap on her skin, it glided gently and was giving her some very pleasant tickles. While cleaning her body, she surprised herself caressing her hips, tummy, breasts, etc. She suddenly felt a desire rise within her. She turned around to make sure the door was locked, nothing worse than an unexpected visitor while you're taking a nice shower, she told herself. Reassured, with one hand she took the shower head and, starting from her neck, she moved down letting the hot water flow over her body, until the shower head reached right below her tummy. She let the warm pulsations of water caress her lips and her clitoris; she closed her eyes and let herself go. With the other hand, she continued to caress her body with the bar of soap. She loved the feeling she felt this morning, she massaged her breasts, her shoulders and suddenly she felt it rising inside her, a light but gentle, comforting, satisfying orgasm made her take a deep breath, she felt her heart skip a beat. Then letting the sensation fade, she regained contact with reality. The day was starting off great!
She came out of the bathroom, wrapped in her towel to find that her children were up. Her partner was at the counter taking morning orders: "Two toasts with peanut butter! A bowl of cereal with orange juice! Oh no sorry we are out of strawberries this morning...". She smiled at him and he smiled back. It was the second thing she liked in the morning, the wakefulness of the family and the action that set in the house.
She went to her room to get dressed, and like every morning, the hardest decision was not which shirt, pants or dress to wear, but rather which lingerie would make her feel best today. After making her choice, a thin black lace combo, she put on a tight summer dress with some low neckline, nothing very extravagant, but very feminine, just like her. She joined her kids for breakfast, but the children had already almost finished their meal and were getting ready for the day. Today, Dad was working from home and there were no day camps on this last week of August; Mom, on the other hand, would be in the office. She turned around to see a lunch bag ready on the kitchen counter, "It's a surprise Mom, we made you a lunch." She smiled at them, "You guys are sweethearts." When breakfast was over, she wished them all a very good day and left the house.
The day at the office followed tradition with her settling down on the 3rd floor, that she called the gloomy floor. It was, as expected, a fairly busy day due to the multitude of people on vacation. She had to cover for those who were absent. However, she felt like the day was going by quickly. Around lunchtime, her boyfriend called her: "I was thinking of taking the kids to the cottage this evening, sleeping there and coming back tomorrow morning."
"Ah that's a really good idea but I'm not sure when I'll finish today and I have a meeting early tomorrow morning. Is it ok if I let you go alone with them?"
"I'll manage like a grown-up," he replied. She laughed.
She checked the time, 11:55 AM. She closed the file she was working on, then headed to the washroom to change into more sporty clothes. The day was beautiful and she needed a mental break. Nothing better than a walk downtown to clear her mind and energize herself before tackling on the afternoon. Shorts, tight tank top and sneakers, that's how she came out of the bathroom. Obviously, when she went to drop her bag at her locker, she was treated to a few looks, from men and women. She preferred not to linger too long, as certain looks from men were somewhat inappropriate. She appreciated the looks in general but some men had no tact and didn't know how to look respectfully. She was not a piece of meat in a butcher's display, so she did not give them the chance to stare at her too long and think about which recipe would be best to taste her...
She left the building for her usual route, she knew the distance and time required and it was a pleasant route. After a few minutes, she ran into Isabelle, a friend she had not seen for at least 10 years. Isabelle had just started a new job downtown. After a few minutes of reacquaintance, Hailey asked her if she wanted to follow along for the walk, she readily accepted. Although it had seemed to last only a few minutes, they had walked for almost an hour. They had so much to talk about, they exchanged phone numbers while promising to do it another day.
On her way back to the office she received a text message: "Wow thank you, it was really great seeing you again. And you look amazing!" The message gave her a warm feeling inside, she loved receiving little compliments like that and receiving one from her particularly touched her, because she also found her very pretty.
"Thank you too, you look great. Looking forward to seeing you again"
The afternoon got off to a flying start with a briefing note to prepare and documents to review. She dove into work without really looking at the time and without realizing how time was passing by until a text message brought her out of her concentration.
"We're leaving, see you tomorrow, have a good evening, rest well."
"You too, have fun, and go easy on the marshmallows around the fire ;o)" she replied, smiling!
She noted that it was already 4:15 PM and she had not yet completed what absolutely had to be released today. Then another text message came in but she ignored it on purpose, thinking it was her boyfriend, and got back to work. She completed her tasks around 6:20 PM; pleased with herself but tired, she closed her things then left the office. As she left, shelooked at her phone and remembered the ignored text message.
"Would you like to go for a drink or dinner tonight? " said the message. It came from her friend Isabelle.
"Sorry, I was busy and didn't notice your message. I just finished my day and I'm exhausted, maybe another time!"
The response did not wait: "I understand that, since I did not have any answer, I went to the house and dinner is already being prepared. We'll try again another time"
"It was definitely nice to see you again" Hailey replied.
On her drive back, and when she was only two blocks from home, another text message came in:
"Let me know if I'm being too pushy but we're preparing a BBQ feast, the evening is super beautiful, why don't you come and have dinner with us? I'd like to introduce you to my boyfriend, Josh!"
Hailey hesitated, she was a little drained by her day, but the idea of spending an evening alone at home and having to cook a meal didn't appeal to her much.
"If you twist my arm, why not!" She replied "I just need to stop by the house and I'll be there. What is your address?"
Getting in the house, she dropped off her things, then quickly went to her room. She took off her clothes, then put on a skirt, a camisole and a mist of perfume. She got out and jumped in her car, her friend only lived about fifteen minutes from her house. On the way, she stopped at the liquor store to pick up a bottle of wine; she was not the type to show up empty-handed when invited. She saw a bottle of her favorite red wine, so she decided to take this to offer to her guests.
Upon arriving at her friend's house, Hailey quickly noticed the BBQ smell emanating from the backyard. She rang the front doorbell and her friend came to answer the door. Immediately, she invited her to go to the backyard, showing her the way to the patio where she introduced Hailey to her partner. Followed by the traditional hugs and thanks: "Your place is really nice"; "Thank you for the wine"; "Ah, it's just a little relaxed dinner," etc. Hailey noticed that there was a play structure in the yard but she did not see any children: "You have kids? » she asked.
"Yes, Matt, 8 years old, and Sofia, 6 years old, they are with their grandparents for the week. »
"Ah well, I didn't know, I didn't want to undo your little couple evening plans" replied Hailey.
"Come on, you're not bothering at all, it's good to have a visitor" replied Josh. With that, he poured Hailey a glass of wine, which she accepted with a smile.
They sat at the patio table under a wooden gazebo from which little ambient lights hung while soft music played in the background. Isabelle and Josh brought the dishes, Hailey was totally amazed when they started placing them on the table: cold grilled squid and octopus appetizer, salad with cheese then, the meal, sliced tomahawk steak served with a mixture of grilled eggplant, peppers, zucchinis and carrots.
"Little relaxed meal?! » She said ironically, smiling.
