Blondie and Jake got into the swing of things as each handled different parts of the bar. At six-thirty Jake’s alarm on his watch went off. Blondie heard the beeping and started to come his way.
“What’s the beeping for; you got a date I don’t know about?”
“Not a date, I got to take my pills… If I don’t have a reminder, I am more likely to forget to take them, and that’s not good for anyone involved. It will only a take a minute, and I just need to grab a glass of water.”
“If you don’t mind me asking what type of pills are you taking… I don’t want to be that person, but as your boss, I would rather you not take something that would leave you inebriated or sluggish behind the bar.”
“I don’t mind you asking, Blondie…I was going to talk to you about it earlier by you weren’t in your office when I came in. I have to take medication for my PTSD. I only need to take the two during work. One is to limit my anxiety and help me stay focused; the other is a migraine medication for my headaches.”
“Well, if at any time you need a break, or it gets too much let me know, I can handle the bar by myself if needed. Go get glass of water take your pills and let’s get back to bartending. By the way Jake, you’re doing an excellent job. I know that Nikki will not have any problems bartending with you when she gets back.”
“Thanks Babydoll,” Jake responded as he winked at her. Blondie, flushed red when he called her that, turning around she went back to her side of the bar.
Time passed quickly, and before Blondie knew it, Al was announcing the last call for food at 11pm. Teufel Hundens was busy on Saturday nights thanks to the live bands that played. Tonight there was a rock band that played everything from 80’s rock to recent, and they had quite a following. Having a good band kept the drink orders flowing, between the servers and the customers at the bar, Jake and Blondie were getting a workout tonight.
Jake was a riot to work alongside. When the band played Def Leppard’s Pour Some Sugar on Me, Jake sang ever word dancing around the bar, gyrating his body rubbing his hand down his chest. Blondie couldn’t help but laugh, as he swaggered over to her grabbing her hand and spun her around, bring her to him as they rocked back and forth dancing to the song.
“You’re a crazy mess you know that right,” Blondie asked Jake when the song was over.
“Crazy like a fox Babydoll and only for you,” Jake replied as he snapped his bar towel at Blondie’s ass. We only got a few hours left, but at least, we have good music to listen to as we work.”
It was almost 2 am, and the band was packing up. There were only a few people left in the bar and most were waiting for rides or were friends of the band. All the other employees were gone besides one bouncer. Blondie was in the process of counting the till and locking things up and Jake was just about finished washing the bar dishes. Before they knew it, Blondie and Jake became the last two people in Teufel Hundens.
“Almost done with locking things up. Jake, you about ready to go?”
“Just waiting for you Babydoll, I am going to walk you to your place so that I know you get home safe.”
“I live just next door.”
Tossing her hands up in the air, Blondie said, “I mean how hard is it. I just have to walk across the damn parking lot.”
“I know it’s just across the parking lot, but I told Big Al that I would make sure you get there safe. Plus I want to walk you home, so if you are finished. Let’s go.” Jake said as he took possession of Blondie’s hand.
Jake walked Blondie to the side door, going outside he waited as she locked up Teufel Hundens. As they walked across the parking lot, Blondie walked in front of Jake, her hips swaying as she walked.
“Babydoll, you better walk beside me, because the way you are swaying your ass has me thinking impure thoughts right now.”
As they got to the front door of Blondie’s building, Blondie knew she was going to make the first move.
“Really,” Blondie said as she turned around, cocking her head, “What kind of thoughts?” She walked toward Jake stopping in front of him as she laid her hand on his chest, pressing her chest against his as she leaned in and whispered in his ear, “I think I can handle some impure thoughts from you Jake.”
Jake growled as he grabbed her hips, pulling her flush against him so she could feel the hard ridge of his dick through his jeans. Then he kissed her with all the pent-up frustration he has had the last few days.
Blondie lifted her hands moving them up his chest she grabbed his head and pulled him closer, leaning even more into the kiss she kissed him back. Moaning a little as she licked his lips and pulled away from the kiss, Blondie stepped back from Jake giving them both some space.
“Damn, Babydoll,” Jake said his hands still on Blondie’s hips. “I wasn’t expecting that, but I will take it. I really wanted to ask you out on a date before I kissed you but I couldn’t help it. So I am asking you now, would you like to go on a date tomorrow?”
Blondie looked up at Jake; the need that he felt for her illuminated his beautiful green eyes making the gold specks in them shine.
“I would love to go on a date with you tomorrow, Jake… What time do you want to pick me up?”
“Does 4:30 sound good? Nothing too fancy, casual wear is perfectly fine.”
“That sounds great,” Blondie said as she turned and unlocked the front door of her house. “Until tomorrow then.” She gave Jake one last kiss before going inside.
Jake made sure that she relocked her door before he went to his Jeep. He unlocked his Jeep and got inside, sitting there he still could taste her on his lips, her lips tasted sweet like strawberries. Touching his lips Jake smiled, he couldn’t wait till tomorrow to taste her again.
Jake drove to his house, as he got out in the garage he decided he would check the second floor for Ham first before he went to bed. As he took the elevator he realized just how tired he was, as he glanced around the second floor he didn’t see Ham but noticed there was a note of the fridge. Jake couldn’t help but laugh when he read it.
Hey Daddy Warbucks,
I am upstairs sleeping… To answer your questions yes I took my meds and had a relaxing day. … I didn’t over work my leg and actually took a short work on the beach. Make sure you take your sleeping meds...I left some hot dogs in the fridge if you are hungry.
Night Brother
Rich
Making sure the front door was locked he turned off the lights. Taking the stairs went to his floor, stopping in his small kitchen to grab a glass of water and take his sleeping pill. Hopefully they would work, and he wouldn’t have any nightmares he has a date set up for tomorrow.
Chapter Eight
Jake, came awake with a jolt. Looking at the clock, he was relieved when it said it was nine in the morning. Six hours of sleep was better than none at all, and he didn’t have a nightmare, that is a good start to a day. If fact, he had a pretty damn good dream about a sexy blonde with lips that tasted like strawberries and what she could do with those lips.
“Damn,” he said looking down… “Harder than a fucking rock. I really wish that I had the person in my dreams here to take care of this painful situation, but I do have my imagination and my damn hand to relieve the pressure.”
Sexually frustrated he went to take a shower, showing up with morning wood for breakfast would just get Ham going, and Jake didn’t need that this morning.
The water streamed down his back as he leaned forward against the wall of the shower, bracing himself on his left forearm. Jake wrapped his right hand around his thick cock, and he started to move his hand up and down. The lubrication from his body wash was enough to keep him pumping with the right amount friction.
Jack imagined Blondie on her knees her lips around his dick as she took him into the warm cavern of her mouth. Her tongue flicking the underside of his cock as she sucked him, her red lips stretched over his girth as she swallowed his whole length, the back of her throat massaging the head.
His hand fis
ted tighter around his dick as he jacked off the thought of her tight mouth around his cock…Faster and tighter his hand pumped his cock the veins becoming more visible and the head turning a ruddy color, his balls pulled tight to his body as he shot cum all over the shower wall. Resting his head on his forearm he breathed deeply, now, at least, he could have breakfast without sporting a massive hard on.
Jake walked down stairs and saw that Ham was sitting at the island having a cup of coffee and was reading the Sunday Paper.
“Have a good night Ham?”
“Hey brother, yeah actually I did… I managed to get a good amount of sleep. I see that you got my note. Did you get some sleep?”
“Yep, I got six hours, no nightmares but I did dream and for once it was a pretty damn good one.”
“That’s great, so what do you have planned for today… I have to go back to Lejeune today, therapy on Monday and all that jazz.”
“First off I am going to make us some breakfast that doesn’t involve hot dogs. Then I am going to drop you off at Lejeune hang out for a little bit then I have some errands to do as I have a date today at 1630.”
“Hey hot dogs are a staple in a Marine’s diet, so don’t knock them too much. So… You have a date with your smoking hot boss huh? It sounds like things are going well at Teufel Hundens you sly dog.”
“It’s not like that I really like her. She is sassy, sexy as hell, and she tastes like strawberries man. I asked Lady Jane what Blondie’s favorite things were so I want to make this first date memorable.”
Jake grabbed eggs and bacon from the fridge as he heated the pan on the oven. “Do you want Toast?”
Ham shook his head and said “No… eggs and bacon is fine, I am not fussy. You know I am just messing right… I like Ms. Blondie also I think she is great; she seems to care about those who come into her bar. She didn’t even know me and wanted to make me feel comfortable. I watched her for a bit and never once did she treat any of her employee’s like they were less than her. If you hadn’t said you liked her I might have tried some of the Hamilton charm on her. I just hope you know what you are doing… deceit even for the best reasons is still deceit, and she doesn’t seem like a lady who takes that very well.”
“I know Ham, I hate lying, but I promise I will tell her as soon as I can… I want to get this retreat going first. She will find out soon, believe me. I just hope that it doesn’t make her think I was trying to use her.”
“You know you have a wingman if you need one Jake,” Ham said as he got up. “I am pretty sure you had orange juice in this fridge if you didn’t drink it all last night.”
Opening the fridge Ham grabbed out the Orange Juice and took it to the counter. Grabbing a couple of cups, the plates, and silverware, He sat down and waited for Jake to finish cooking.
Jake finished up the bacon and eggs, plating the food he sat down next to Ham and ate his breakfast.
“You know to give me a call if you need anything Ham, even if it is a break from the barracks.”
“I will call ya if I need anything. I figure I will go shopping at the PX this week so that I can start decorating my floor and actually have stuff up there. Is it ok if I have the big furniture delivered here? That way we don’t have to keep making multiple trips.”
“That is more than fine give them my phone number when you order, and set it up for earlier in the day so that I will make sure I am here when they come.”
Jake and Ham, finished eating their breakfast and put the dishes in the dishwasher. Ham grabbed his pill case and his cane and turned to Jake as he walked to the elevator.
“I am leaving my duffle here because I will be back on Friday… I figure I will talk to command about discharge paperwork this week and start taking care of things… then we will go from there.”
“Sounds like a plan Ham, let’s get you back to Lejeune so I can get ready for my date with Ms. Blondie.”
Blondie was awake, laying in her bed covered with a multitude of blankets. The kisses she shared with Jake from last night were still fresh in her mind… Damn that man could kiss. Sitting up Blondie looked at her alarm clock, the neon green numbers told her it was 10:30 in the morning. She had so much to do before she went on her date with Jake later this afternoon.
First things first she needed to make an appointment at the nail salon. It had been a while since she got one and nothing is better than getting a mani-pedi with a leg and arm massage to relax before her date. Having set up her appointment she had just enough time to shower and shave before she had to leave.
Blondie made quick work of shaving in the shower, as she checked herself out in the mirror happy she was with the results… smooth legs and armpits… check. Neatly trimmed bikini area …check. Smiling she said to her reflection, “A girl has to make sure she has everything nice and groomed, and who knows maybe I’ll get lucky tonight.”
Grabbing the towel, she wrapped it around her body and went to the sink to brush her teeth and braided her hair. She would put her makeup and fix her hair later.
Happy that she no longer had morning breath and her hair was up, Blondie entered her closet and picked out a pink and white flowered sundress and laid it on her bed for later. Grabbing a pair of undies, bra, jean shorts and a tank from her dresser, she finished getting dressed and headed down to her car.
Pulling out of her garage she waved to Al, and drove to her favorite nail salon. As she entered the building, the owner walked up to her gave her a hug and said, “Oh Blondie I am so sorry about the breakup.”
“It’s OK… Tammy, it was about time one of us put an end to it...neither of us were happy with the other for a while.”
“Well, Sug… Honestly, I think he was kinda a goober. Always talking about how you should lose some weight. If I had curves like you, Henry would forget what days UNC and NC State played.”
“So what color are we doing today? I got some new gel colors in, would you like to look?”
“You know me so well, Tammy, of course, I would like to look. I actually am in the mood for a light hot pink color. I have a date tonight, and they would go with the sundress I am going to wear.”
“What… sit down in the chair while I run the water for your pedicure…make sure you tell me if it is too hot. A date, with who? Anyone I know?”
“Actually, he is my new bartender and a former Marine. He is also the hottest man I have ever laid eyes on. I don’t think you know him though he does live on Topsail; his name is Jake Peterson.”
“I don’t know him, but I have heard that name somewhere before, I don’t remember where but if he can get you this excited about a date, he must be something.”
“Put your feet in, have you picked a color yet?”
Leaning back into the massage chair, Blondie looked down at Tammy as she turned on the jets in the foot soak. “I think this one will do,” Blondie said pointing to the color on the color board, “it is very close to the pink in my dress and has a bit of a sparkle.”
Tammy grabbed the color board, from Blondie and went to grab her tools and the polish. As Tammy worked her and Blondie chatted, catching up on the happenings around Topsail. They even talked about the new resort condos that were almost completed. An hour and a half later Blondie left the salon with a fresh mani-pedi and the massage on her legs and arms felt wonderful.
Getting into her car, she drove back to her house. She wanted to talk to Al if he was home before she got ready for her date.
Pulling into her garage, she noticed that Al’s truck was gone. Damn she thought, I really wanted to get his opinion on going on this date. Well, I guess I will just leave him a note on his door, telling him not to worry that I was one a date with Jake.
Blondie went to her apartment, going to her bedroom she took off the clothes that she was wearing and put on her house robe. She figured it would take her longer to do her hair and makeup then get dressed so she might as well start there.
Blondie started by undoing her braid and used her hair dryer to blow
it dry, leaving her hair in beachy waves. Her makeup was light, using natural colors in creams and browns she made her blue eyes pop, with just a little mascara and liner she was done. Grabbing her lip gloss to she let it glide over her lips, just enough to give her some color.
Blondie decided she should sexy up her bra and panties, so she opened her lingerie drawer, looking for the perfect set. “Where are they? I know they are in here somewhere? she mumbled as she dug through her lingerie drawer. “Ah-ha, there you are,” she exclaimed as she withdrew a cotton candy pink French lace bra and thong set from the drawer.
She took off her bathrobe and slipped into her lingerie, grabbing her bottle of lilac lotion she started to lotion her body, making sure to get behind her knees and elbows good; she prided herself on having soft skin. Lifting her dress from the bed, she slipped it on. The last thing she needed to do was put on her sandals and grab her purse. Blondie was more than ready for her date with Jake.
Jake pulled up into Blondie’s driveway… Walking to the front door, he rang the buzzer. He sighed in relief when he heard Blondie’s voice, “Come on up Jake, take the elevator or stairs to the third floor,” and the front door lock released.
Jake grabbed the door handle and opened it when it released, took a quick glance at the foyer and appreciated the layout; the elevator was on the left, and there was an access door to the stairs. The thing that impressed him was that even though there was a door to the common room, you couldn’t get into unless you had a key. Entering the elevator, he pushed the circular button that would take him up to Blondie’s apartment.
The elevator doors opened, and there was her front door with its own foyer. She had a bulldog statue with a welcome sign and to the right, there was a small balcony with potted plants and a bench… very homey.
Knocking on the door, Jake waited… When Blondie opened the door, he couldn’t help but appreciate how she looked.
“Wow, Babydoll you look beautiful… I am going to be the luckiest man in the restaurant with you by my side. Are you ready to go?”
