After researching the wigwam dream on a website, she concluded that dreams are just dreams. They have no real meaning. It's just the brain firing off nonsense while sleeping. After a few weeks, J.C. stopped teasing her about it and they settled back into normal, friendly conversation at work.
Despite how much she loved her husband and their ordered, simple life, she always had a small part of her that loved to flirt, to grab the attentions of other men. She wasn't a tiny, toned woman. She had curves, ample breasts. Despite the squats she attempted daily, her ass wasn't as perky as it used to be. She was seen as quiet, and well-behaved to most of her family, friends, and co-workers. Most of them never got to see the side of her that was quite outspoken and frankly, naughty. She thoroughly enjoyed approaching a man in a bar she barely knew, taking a chance, and blurting out, "I want you to fuck my mouth". It wasn't that she actually wanted to do it, but she loved seeing the reaction. She loved seeing their eyes widen, their pupils dilate, their breathing stop or quicken, even sometimes, able to see their shirt thumping due to increased heart rate. Knowing she could have them right there, right then if she wished it. It was power, and she loved the energy surge she got from it. She had never really drank to excess, or used any illegal drugs, didn't skydive, or obsessively workout, but she loved the high from teasing and obtaining men. She knew it wasn't right, especially if the man was married, but she tended to like them more because they are more careful, and responsible. She didn't need to have some single guy blasting her personal life all over social media.
J.C. announced that he was putting in his 2 weeks notice because he was starting school to get his CDL. Polly was glad for him. They had spoken at length about him wanting to be promoted from his job as a nursing assistant, but the company turned him down in the positions he applied for. J.C. mentioned that he would like all their co-workers to meet for a drink to celebrate him leaving and Polly took it on as her personal mission to give him a good send-off.
Plans were made to meet at a local bar at 7pm on Friday. Friday morning, J.C. had worked part of 3rd shift and messaged Polly, "You're getting mandated today. Kelly called in."
'Fuck!' Polly thought mentally as she read her phone screen. Being mandated for overtime meant Polly would be stuck at work until at least 10 pm. Polly looked at the clock and considered calling in herself, but it was 4:15 am, and she was supposed to give 2 hours notice. That was 15 minutes ago.
Polly arrived at work and saw J.C. standing near the schedule book. As Polly signed in and assigned her staff, she told J.C., "You guys go ahead without me. I'll call when I get out, if you're still out, we'll meet up." J.C. appeared pissed and was quiet.
