“Worse?” she asked.
“God yes, both staff and clients!” I laughed. “We’ll be fine, Chrissie. This is all part of it. I get that, okay?”
We put on some music and just relaxed. Jack did come up in conversation, but only briefly. We’d take everything a day at a time and sort things out as they popped up.
“I may give Grace Russell a call this week. I’m intrigued by her. She seemed to know something or, at the very least, wanted me to meet up with her. I’ll try and get out for a while at work. Are you going to call Martin?”
“Yes. I’ll check my schedule. I won’t be until the end of the week but yes, he’s someone I want to talk with. I’m intrigued as well. And Emily?”
“I’ve talked with her already. I called her when you were with the kids. It was just a chat, nothing too important,” Chrissie smiled.
“C’mon. There’s more to it than that! I can tell. Spill!” I said.
“Well, David and her are so very distant right now. Even after the auction and dancing and champagne, he didn’t, well, touch her. Somethings going on there. I need to help her. I may, well, have her over soon…some evening?”
“What about the kids?”
“I didn’t necessarily say we were going to jump each other, Tom! God! Men!” she said, exasperated. “That would be your dream evening, eh, Tom? Two horny women and you!” she laughed. ” And no, you don’t have to answer that!” she giggled.
“Well, as and when, I’ll stay out of the way, okay?” I said helpfully.
“Hmmm. Maybe. I may just be cruel and let her flirt with you, knowing nothing would happen. Or maybe I’ll just flirt and seduce you whilst she’s here. Now that would be fun!”
“You can be such a cruel kitten. It would be your responsibility as a friend to, well, help her out?”
“I don’t think I’d be too much of a kitten, Tom,” she giggled.
“Fuck, Chrissie,” I moaned as I leant over and tweaked one of Chrissie’s breasts. “You’re such a little bitch at times.”
“I certainly hope so, Tom,” she mewed.
“Okay…I need to get some things ready for tomorrow. How’s the school run and all working tomorrow? What help do you need from me?”
“Nothing tomorrow, Tom. Thanks, but I have my routine down pretty well by now. I may ask for your help as the morning goes on, but nothing now, okay?”
“Just ask, okay? So…bed?” I said cheerlessly.
“Sounds good. Maybe I can sneak into your bedroom? The kids will be asleep.” she asked.
“Not tonight, Chrissie. They may wake up as they haven’t been here for a week. Let’s not push things, okay?”
Chrissie gave me a forlorn look, all puppy-dogs eyes and all.
“C’mon. You know it’s for the best. Don’t you?” I asked.
“I know but, I’ve so used to you next to me…”
“Welcome to our reality, Chrissie,” I half-smiled.
“Humph…” she sighed.
“C’mon. Bed,” I said as I helped her out and gave her a long kiss goodnight. ” See you in the morning, darling.”
“If not before,” Chrissie said with a devilish grin.
I spanked her bottom as we parted at my bedroom doorway.
Chrissie turned to me and smiled…whilst pulling down her trousers, showing off her ass to me.
Fuck, I thought…
Chapter 14 Monday
I remembered to set my alarm just a bit earlier. I foresaw a bit of morning chaos I so reckoned to be ready before it all kicked off.
Chrissie crept into my room as I was waking, and slipped beneath the covers with me. It felt marvellous to feel her, if even for a touch and cuddle. We sleepily rose from beneath the sheets and, with Chrissie peering out the doorway, we made our way to our respective bathrooms.
One by one, the kids made their way to the breakfast table. Yes, That Table. The table where I had eagerly fucked their mother less than a week ago. Chrissie had laid out their cereal and fruit and yoghurt for me. She threw in a few slices of sourdough toast, too. What a gal, eh?
I offered to clear up so she could ready herself for work. The kids were chatty about their day ahead. They had missed their routine.
Chrissie returned, looking stunning in a loose wrap-around dress and fitted blouse. I would never tire of looking at her. She sat with us and her fruit whilst we talked about the day ahead. No mention of Jack, though.
I hugged and kissed the kids ‘goodbye’ and started for the door.
The kids were hanging around to see me out. Chrissie called me over.
“Tom, can I have a quick word before you go?” she asked, her eyebrows raised.
“Of course, Chrissie.”
I followed her down the hallway to her room. As I entered, she closed the door. Looking at me, she drew her arms around me and we kissed. She felt so good in my arms, as if she had always meant to be here.
“Have a wonderful day, darling. See you later, at some point, okay?”
“And you, Chrissie. If you hear from Jack, let me know? I need to know you’re okay. And remember, you were going to call Grace.”
I kissed her again, one hand on her petite ass, the other flowing through her hair. Her hair still had a bit of the kink in it, which made her look even more adorable.
Another kiss for the kids, and I was gone.
There weren’t enough hours in the day to finish everything so we all stayed a bit later. By eight, our productivity was waning so we called it a day. We had our presentation tomorrow and we felt we were ready. I hadn’t gotten around to calling Martin. He was definitely on my To-Do List though.
I pulled in around nine. The house was quiet when I walked in. Chrissie greeted me with a single malt and her arms.
“Mmmm,” she moaned. “We all missed you. The kids wanted to stay up to see you but I told them no. It’s a school night and they need their routines.
“I’ll just pop in real quick and give them a quick kiss goodnight. I won’t wake them!”
I returned to the front room in a few minutes. And no, I hadn’t woken the kids.
“So. Everything ready for tomorrow?”Chrissie asked.
“Yeah. I’m prepared, the team is all set so, we’re good. It has all come together so it’s time to sign this thing.”
“I’m so happy for you, Tom. I’m certain they’ll all be impressed.”
“I love your optimism, Chrissie but yes, I can’t see any pitfalls so…”
I caught up with her about the exhibition. Emily and her had made great progress and were actually ahead of schedule. Of course, Emily being Emily, she wanted all the details of Sunday. And I mean details.
“You didn’t tell her, uh, everything?” I asked, dumbfounded.
“Everything, Tom. She was in such a state afterwards,” she laughed. “I actually loved telling her ALL the, uh, juicy details. I think she went and frigged herself, although she told me she had to go talk to the director. I was actually getting wet telling her! Whew, eh?” she laughed. “If we weren’t at work, I would have gone down on her to relieve her frustration but…” she sighed. “Did you know that on Saturday night, after we were on the roof, and she pulled me aside, she actually went down on me in the Ladies? You knew, didn’t you?”
“Uhh, no. I didn’t know! Jeez, Chrissie! What ARE you like? So, uh, did she get off on it, you know, sucking my cum out of you?”
Chrissie laughed. “She was so wet afterwards. Normally I’d have returned the, uh, favour but I thought I would tease her. I’m a bad girl, aren’t I, Tom?”
