Forbidden Lover, Part 2
I had to admit it, I missed Haley even more now... now that we had sex again. Something about that day turned a corner for me. It made me want her. My guilty feelings were disappearing. It wasn't that sex with my wife, Lisa, was bad. It's just... there was something special about Haley that I didn't have with Lisa. And our twenty-five year marriage had grown stale in the bedroom.
My phone gave a ding and I pulled it out. It was a text message from Haley. The first part was a beautiful picture of Haley and Benjamin, smiling at the camera. The second was... well... completely unexpected. It was a close-up picture of a hand cradling a woman's breast, with milk dripping from the nipple. I knew immediately it was Haley... and I knew that she was going to keep teasing me now.
Now that she was able to make me give in again, she knew I wasn't going to be able to deny her.
I started typing out a text to her and sent it.
Vince: Can I come down on Saturday?
I waited a minute, wondering if she was still available to talk. Lisa was in the kitchen cleaning something, so I turned the ringer off. She didn't need to know what I was doing.
Haley: Of course! Something up?
She ended the text with a deviously smiling emoji. My heart skipped a beat when she finally texted back. Things were now being set into motion, things that if they were ever discovered, would ruin my life.
Vince: Just need to see you again.
Haley: Luv that idea. Mom coming too?
Vince: No... just me. I'll tell her you have a prob with your furnace.
Haley: k... what time?
Vince: Noon?
Haley: Sounds perfect. Until?
Vince: Whatever... 10:00.
Haley: Perfect... I get to have Daddy all day long.
She attached the same quirky emoji to the last message, one that looked devious. I guess what I was hoping for was rather devious indeed. And she seemed to be hoping for the same thing.
"Hey hon!" I called to Lisa as I deleted the text messages. "Haley just texted and told me she's having a problem with her furnace. She's wondering if I can come down on Saturday."
"Shouldn't she go talk to building maintenance?"
"I, uh... I just thought that I could do a quick check first to make sure it's nothing stupid."
"Well, we were supposed to be meeting up with the neighbors for dinner," she said. "I guess we can cancel."
"No, no. You go. I'll fix Haley's problem by myself."
"You sure? I hate to see you go down there all by yourself."
"No, it's ok," I said, feeling the weight of what I was doing pressing down on me. "I'll be fine."
And with that, my date with Haley was set.
*****
When Saturday arrived, I left a little early and stopped at a lingerie store on the way down to buy Haley a little gift. It didn't take too long to find one that I really wanted to see her wear and paid cash to keep the purchase off the books.
Then I got back on the road again. I must've been a little too anxious, because halfway down I was pulled over for speeding. Luckily I had a clean record and the officer let me go with just a warning. But I had to really concentrate on my speed from then on.
But it seemed like the universe conspired against me once again. Only fifteen minutes after the police stop, I got a flat tire and it took me another twenty minutes to change it. The rest of the drive down, my guilty conscience kept speaking to me, kept telling me to turn around, that this just wasn't right. But I kept fighting it, I kept driving to Haley.
It was about 1:45pm when I pulled into the parking lot of Haley's apartment building. I grabbed the bag from the passenger seat, slowly walked inside, and rode the elevator to the fourth floor.
Haley was wearing a t-shirt and sweat pants when she opened the door and let me come inside. Benjamin was on her arm and, after she closed the door, she leaned in and kissed me, softly and passionately.
"I didn't expect you this late," she said, looking concerned.
"It was a tough drive. Don't ask," I said, sighing. I was happy to off the road and finally with Haley again.
"Well, I'm glad you could come down," she said. "I was just getting ready to feed Benji."
I nodded. "Oh. Ok. No rush."
We went into the kitchen and sat around her table. Without batting an eye, she pulled up her shirt, opened her bra, and began feeding him, holding him to her chest.
"Mom was ok with you coming down alone?" she asked.
"Yeah. She's going to have dinner with the neighbors tonight," I said. "I'm sure she'll want to come down before Christmas, though."
"And you're... ok... being here and... you know?" she smiled, pretty much matching that same emoji she used in her text.
"I am," I nodded slowly. "I, uh... I wanted to see you again. Sorry," I corrected myself, "to tell you the truth, I needed to see you again."
She smiled. She had such a beautiful smile. "I like that. And you brought me a present?"
