It had been a busy day. MaryJane Huffman, Mrs. Huffman, was glad to be home. She signaled and turned right into the lot and backed into her parking space. She was tired and happy to be finished with her shopping. She got out of the car, opened the trunk and bent over to gather the shopping bags. She stood up.
"You got the sweetest looking ass in the whole world."
Damn, she thought, it was Harold's voice. Harold McCarthy. What did he want?
"Very sweet," he said.
"Thank you. Now go home. Leave me alone," Mrs. Huffman said.
She really didn't like this jerk. He had been a student in the English class she taught for graduating seniors at Holy Mother of God High School. He was crude, rude, disrespectful, and inattentive in class.
"I can't understand why you aren't more nice to me.," he said in his nasal, whining voice, "I was just saying something nice to you.. You bend over in that tight skirt and show that cute booty. So I was just saying."
"Ok, you said it. Now go. Leave me alone."
" I could see the outline of your panties against your skirt. "
"Why are you here? Didn't I ask you to leave? Do you want me to call the police?
"Hey, this is a free country. I can sit here if I want."
MaryJane Huffman just glared at him. He disgusted her. He was such a jerk. "Ok, sit there. Just don't talk to me any more. Don't bother me."
"Hey, at least let me help you with your packages."
"No, thank you," Mrs. Huffman said. "I can handle these packages myself." She had been to Home Depot to pick up a new faucet set for her bathroom and she was carrying the Home Depot box along with a Save The Earth Recyclable bag full of groceries. She turned away from Harold and started walking towards her building.
"Why are you being so mean," he shouted after her.
She ignored him.
She continued on towards her building, entered and continued up to her apartment. That greasy haired son of a bitch. She hated him. She hated his gawky, acne filled face. She hated the way he ogled her, leered at her.
She hated that he was one of the students who had been fucking her since the student Mardi Gras earlier this year. But that was all over now. MaryJane had retrieved the pictures they had of her. The blackmail was over. She put the groceries in the fridge and brought the Home depot box into the bathroom. "Oh, Shit," the thought suddenly hit her, she had left her library books on the passenger seat of her car. "I had better run down and get them," she said to herself.
She took a hurried glance around the lot as she left her building but didn't see Harold.
As she was bent over, taking the books from the front passenger seat, she heard his voice again. "Yes, M'aam, you sure has the tightest, sweetest ass I ever did see."
She ignored him and started back to the building.
"I was waiting. I knew you'd be back down to see me."
MaryJane Huffman knew that to engage Harold McCarthy in discussion would be stupid, a big mistake. She continued towards the building.
"You know you couldn't leave it go until you had another look at me." Harold said in that insinuating tone of his.
She knew that she shouldn't be arguing with this idiot, but she turned around anyway. "I came down to get my books. I forgot them. I certainly did not come down here to catch a glimpse of you."
"Oh yeah. I seen you looking around the parking lot."
"I was not looking for you. Grow up," MaryJane said.
"I only wanted to talk with you about something. That's all."
"Say it," she spit out.
"Ah, you know, I always liked you. I thought you was the best teacher in the whole school. And the prettiest too," Harold said. He had that stupid smile on his face. She hated that smile.
"That's it? That's what you had to say, ok. You said it. Goodbye now"
"See? I say something nice and you just blow me off."
"Harold," MaryJane knew that attempting to reason with this boy was a useless endeavor, worse than useless. "You have no reason to be here. This is where I live. I didn't invite you and I did ask you to leave." Trying to talk sense to this boy was frustrating. "Ok, I let you say what you implied was something important and all you said was more of the lying nonsense you always say. You said it. I heard it. Ok. Leave."
"Jaysus. I just try to be nice and look how you act."
"You were not trying to be nice. You were....I don't know what you were trying to accomplish."
"Hey, Mrs. Huffman."
"Look, just say goodbye and leave, ok." MaryJane was holding the library books in her folded arms against her chest. They were getting heavy. She started to turn back to the building.
"Wait. Please. I really got to tell you something."
MaryJane closed her eyes and exhaled a breath through her mouth. "Ok, say it, but hurry up, these books are heavy." Her back was to her door. She was looking at Harry.
"Uh, it's sort of private. You know."
She looked around the lot they were standing in. "There is no one here, go on. Say what ever it is you need to say so badly. Now!" Her chest was rising and falling with each of the short breaths she was taking. She didn't know if it was anger or what but she was unable to quiet the sound of her breathing through her nose.
"Not here. Stand by your car. You can put your books on the hood of the car," he said, "and we can talk there."
This is so dumb, MaryJane Huffman thought to herself. Why didn't I just leave and go up to my room?
They were at the car and Harold reached over as if to take the books from her hand. He touched the back of her arm just below the shoulder. He held her there. "Stop that," she almost shouted. "Take your hand off of me," she said. Oh my God she thought. She couldn't stand it for him to touch her with this filthy hand. The feel of his hand on her arm sent a shiver up her arm and across her chest. She started to put the books down on the hood of the car, but they began to slide down. She quickly grabbed them and opened the door of her car to put them back on the seat where they wouldn't slide. She felt his heavy hand press against her back just above her waist. She could feel the heat from his hand through the fabric of her blouse. "Stop it!" she said as forcefully as she could. "Don't touch me."
Why was this happening to her? She couldn't stop taking those short, shallow quick breaths. She could feel the nipples of her breasts harden as they brushed against the material of her bra. And Oh God, she could feel her cunt begin to moisten itself, her labia begin to part, her clitoris start to enlarge, push against its hood. Her legs felt weak.
She forced herself to keep her voice level as she spoke. "That is all. No more. I have things to do. I am going to my apartment. No more talk. Leave right now." Her anger, at herself, at him, made it so hard for her to focus. She glared at him.
