Christmas Candy: A Holiday Second Chance Box Set

by Angela Blake

“Grant, Thomas.” Tom waited as the maître de looked up the reservations. “Right this way sir.”

  The couple follows the man to a table booth near the bathroom. The maître de left the couple with menus and glasses of wine. Tom apologized to Jordyn as it was the only table he could get on such short notice.

  “It’s alright. It’s just a table.” Jordyn’s phone vibrated as a message from Franny read out, “I will be staying out late. Don’t wait up for me. Go have fun on your dinner date.”

  “Are you texting your girlfriend?” Tom asked as Jordyn was reading her text message. “If I was bisexual, you would be the first to know.”

  “Well whatever the case, she will never be as legendary as I am. I can even make you moan without laying a hand on you.” Tom pulled out a tiny remote from his pocket and pressed the button.

  “That’s not fair,” Jordyn gasped as her panties suddenly vibrated.

  “Good evening, I am Sebastian and I will be your waiter for tonight. Are you ready to order?” A waiter suddenly approached asking for their orders.

  “Jordy, tell the man what you want,” Tom raised an eyebrow at Jordyn.

  Jordyn took a deep breath, tightened her grip on the menu and widened her eyes at Tom. “I’ll take the whole salami with the cheesy fountain.”

  “Are you sure about that?” Tom tried to stall for more time as he heightened the settings on the remote.

  “Yes! Yes! I’m sure!” Jordyn was blushing and her panties were soaking wet.

  “Hmmm… I think I will have the three-cheese calzones. What do you think Jordy?”

  “Yup. Great idea.” Jordyn was clenching her fists tighter as she fought the urge to let out a huge moan.

  “Oh wait. Scratch that. I’m craving for some carbonara. Does that sound better Jor?”

  “Yes! Excuse me!” Jordyn rushed into the bathroom pushing away the waiter.

  Tom slipped the waiter a bill and tells him to give them an hour. Tom rushed into the same bathroom as Jordyn and locked the door tight.

  Jordyn moaned while trying to remove the vibrating panties. Tom sneaks up behind her and embraces Jordyn’s body. He opened up the zipper on the side of her skirt and he slid his hands onto the wet spot between her legs.

  “Please, I can’t take it anymore,” Jordyn begs tom as the panties were still on stimulating her nether regions.

  “How badly do you want it?” Tom slid his other hand inside her blouse. He cupped her breast sensually massaging while his fingers played with her nipples. He proceeded to make tiny nibbles on her nape.

  “So freaking bad,” Jordyn’s body was shivering and her legs felt so weak that she could not stand properly.

  Tom continued moving around his fingers inside Jordyn’s buzzing panties and pinching her nipple softly.

  Jordyn moaned at the intense pleasure and agony of waiting for Tom to go inside her. She grabbed Tom’s bulge through his pants. It wasn’t only her that’s wet, Tom’s precum seeped through his briefs and onto his pants.

  After a while, Tom pulled up Jordyn’s skirt and slowly removed the soaked panties. She sighed with relief as the panties were finally off until Tom suddenly put out his tongue and licked around her center. Tom buried his face onto her and moved his tongue around like a professional.

  Jordyn turned around, sat on the bathroom countertop and put her legs around Tom’s neck. His tongue was digging her center and teasing her for something bigger.

  “Tom put it in me,” Jordyn was panting and her body was craving for Tom to go faster. Tom started licking upwards while giving her body tiny kisses all the way to her nipples. Tom’s hands were unfastening his belt and unzipping his pants to reveal more of himself.

  Tom’s tongue was moving around Jordyn’s nipples and he was teasing her with the head of his rod rubbing around her center. Jordyn put her hands on Tom’s ass and she pulled him towards her. Tom’s rod went in smoothly but the sudden force splashed around Jordyn’s juices. Tom began to move faster while Jordyn’s hands squeezed tighter on his buns.

  Tom put his arms around Jordyn pulling her closer as he thrusted faster and faster. “I love you so much,” he whispers while he breathes hot air onto her ear. “I love you too,” Jordyn replies as she moans and gasps for air.

  “Let’s have another baby!” Tom suddenly shoots his seed inside Jordyn.

  Tom gently put Jordyn down on the bathroom countertop. Her eyes looked glassy. She was fighting back her tears and it’s making her eyes red and puffy.

  “I’m sorry! We don’t need to have another baby!” Tom apologized immediately after seeing Jordyn’s eyes.

  “I’m okay! Seriously you don’t need to worry about it! Some dust just went into my eyes!” Jordyn was being defensive but deep down inside her she knew she was not okay.

  “Jordy please let’s talk about it,” Tom pulled up his pants and put his hands on her shoulder.

  Jordyn just let Tom’s hand rest on her shoulder instead of shrugging it off. “There is nothing to talk about. I moved on from Gracie. I know she’s never coming back!” her tone went from being defensive to an angry and sad one.

  Jordyn fixed her image in front of the mirror, washed her hands and splashed water on her face.

  Tom tried embracing Jordyn but she became disconnected.

  “Let’s just go and have dinner,” Jordyn shrugged off Tom’s embrace and began to march back to their table.

  “Please wait, Jordy. I can tell you’re not okay. Please, let’s just talk about this.” Tom tried to grab a hold onto her arms.

  “I am okay! Can’t you see that I’m freaking okay? I have a stable job and I don’t need anyone replacing our Gracie!” Jordyn shouted at Tom as she tried to defend herself like an animal backed into a corner.

  “I don’t need your pity,” Jordyn saw that sad look in Tom’s eyes and she couldn’t look at him directly.

  Jordyn opened the bathroom door and the other customers were staring at her and whispering. She bolted out the restaurant trying to escape whatever haunted her.

  “Jordy, wait!” Tom tried to follow Jordyn but glances back at their table. He takes out his wallet for a few bills and spills Jordyn’s untouched glass of wine to take a ring.

  “To Spooner street please,” Jordyn takes a deep breath now that she is inside a cab taking her far away from the scene. Tom immediately bolts out the restaurant chasing after Jordyn but she was already inside a cab driving away in haste. She looked out the cab with her glassy looking eyes. She takes deep breaths to stop herself from breaking down but she could not fight the emotions and started to sob.

  Tom cursed at the skies as he knows he made a huge mistake letting Jordyn slip out of his embrace once again. She may never forgive him now after that catastrophic night.

  “I’m at a cab. The night was ruined. I’m headed home.” Jordyn sent out a string of messages to Franny as a distress signal.

  “Say no more. I will be right on my way back home,” Franny replied back immediately.

  “Is everything all right, Chiquita? The night is still young.” A tan buff man, wearing a tight white V-neck shirt and a leather jacket, said as he put his hand on Franny’s arm.

  “I’m really sorry Jorge but I have to head back home. My best friend is not feeling right. Thank you for the great evening.” Franny frantically put down her martini glass and took out her wallet to pay the bill.

  Jorge stopped Franny from taking out her wallet. “No need to pay. It’s my treat. Go rush back to your best friend.”

  “Thank you very much Jorge,” Franny took her red leather jacket and rushed outside to get a taxi cab back home to Jordyn.

  “Taxi!” Franny yelled out hailing for a taxicab to stop.

  A man driving a black Harley-Davidson motorcycle stopped in front of Franny.

  “Hop in. It will be faster for you to get to your friend.” Jorge removed his helmet and handed it to Franny.

  “I’m wearing a dress. I can’t ride on that thing.” Franny hesitated to accept Jo
rge’s offer.

  “Don’t worry Chiquita. Just grab onto me tight and don’t let go.”

  Franny thought about it for a second or two but she remembered that Jordyn was in distress.

  “Oh that’s alright. I guess I have no choice.” Franny wore Jorge’s helmet, and straddled on the back seat of his motorcycle. She put her hands around his warm and hard ripped body.

  Franny’s grip tightened as the motorcycle’s engine roared. She could feel Jorge’s abs through his shirt.

  “Really awful timing, Jordyn,” Franny thought to herself as she hands wander around Jorge’s body. If not for Jordyn needing her help, Franny would be riding something else that is hard. Franny would have been going faster than the motorcycle ever could. Franny can’t help thinking about Jorge’s rock hard body even though she really needed to help Jordyn right now.

  Franny was shivering and it is not because of the cold air that blew hard against their bodies. Jorge’s body radiated so much heat that Franny’s body began to heat up.

  “Just park around there,” Franny pointed at the front of a medium yellow house. The motorcycle’s brakes stopped and Franny jumped off of her seat.

  “Thanks for the ride, Jorge! I owe you one!” Franny throws Jorge the helmet and ran towards the door.

  “It was my pleasure. I will see you tomorrow.” Jorge blew a kiss to Franny. The engine roared as he drove away.

  “Thanks again! See you tomorrow!” Franny screamed back as she scrambled through her handbag to find her keys. She immediately found her keys beside the condom she was saving for tonight.

  “Damn it,” She thought to herself while pursing her lips.

  Franny tried to insert the keys through the hole of the door knob but the door was already unlocked.

  Chapter Seven

  Jordyn was sitting in the living room sofa. Her stilettos were scattered around the floor and her handbag was thrown to the couch.

  Franny tried to avoid stepping on the shards of a broken flower vase and roses.

  “That vase was a gift from my aunt,” Franny said in disappointment.

  Jordyn sobbed on a pillow she wrapped her arms around on. Tears and mascara stained her favorite Stitch pillow.

  “It’s all right. I’m here for you now, Jordyn. Cry your heart out and tell me what happened when you are ready.” Jordyn sobbed louder and buried her face deeper into the pillow. She leaned her head towards Franny’s chest and spread out her legs on the couch.

  Jordyn was silent thinking of a way to comfort her best friend.

  “I could get Jorge to murder Tom if you want. He could easily snap your ex in two with those huge arms of his. Just say the words, Jordy.” Franny joked around trying to lift Jordyn’s spirit.

  Jordyn was not smiling. She did not have it in her to even give a tiny smirk. Franny hummed the tune to Jordyn’s favorite sad song by The Frey. She brushed her hands through Jordyn’s messy hair.

  Jordyn was not able to say a whole word throughout the night. She fell asleep on Franny’s lap and soaked the bottom part of her dress in tears. Franny fell asleep sitting on the couch not soon after Jordyn fell deep into slumber.

  “Mommy,” a familiar voice of a little girl echoed through the fog. Jordyn was standing on a field surrounded with rose bushes.

  “Gracie,” Jordyn called out to the voice. “Where are you, baby?”

  “I’m right here mommy,” Jordyn began to ran towards where she thought the voice was coming from.

  The skies began to darken. Jordyn could not find the source of Gracie’s voice nor Gracie.

  “Jordy?” Another familiar voice echoes. This time the voice was a man’s. It was Tom’s deep sultry voice.

  “Stay away from me Tom!” Jordyn screamed as loud as she could but the voice echoed around her.

  “Stay away!” Jordyn repeated trying to block out Tom’s voice. She pressed her hands on her head trying to cover her ears.

  Jordyn collapses as the ground began to quake. She fell into the void, the darkness inside her that she avoided for so long.

  “Mommy, don’t be afraid.” A silhouette made of light appeared in front of Jordyn.

  “It’s just me, mommy.” The light materialized to form the hand of the little girl as she tried to grab her mother’s hand.

  “Baby,” Jordyn embraces the light as tears ran down her face.

  “You have to let go mommy,” Jordyn’s embrace tightened with those words. “I can’t let go of you. Not now that I’ve gotten you back. No one can ever replace you, baby”

  “No one is going to replace me mommy. You told me that I was special.”

  “Of course you are special, baby.” The light vanishes and Jordyn floats around the darkness enveloping her.

  “Let’s have another baby,” Tom’s voice echoed again and again.

  A bright flash of light blinds Jordyn for a second. As she opened her eyes, she’s back inside her old house. She stands at the center of the kitchen with her swollen limbs and her heavy womb.

  “Good morning, Jor.” Tom embraced Jordyn from behind. He stroked his hands on her womb. “Good morning, Gracie.”

  “Gracie?” Jordyn asked in confusion.

  “Yeah, I always loved the name ‘Gracie’. She’s our own little piece of grace. Don’t you think the name’s beautiful?” Tom replied as he kissed Jordyn’s neck.

  “This can’t be happening,” Jordyn said to herself in disbelief.

  “I know it feels like a fantasy,” Tom swayed his hips trying to sing Stevie Wonder’s ‘Isn’t She Lovely’. He replaced the word ‘Lovely’ with the words ‘Jordyn’ and ‘Gracie’ every other line.

  Jordyn couldn’t help herself but sing along with Tom. Her soprano voice melded beautifully to his bass.

  Jordyn could feel the warmth of Tom’s embrace. Her tears stopped flowing. She knew who she wanted to be with for the rest of her life.

  Jordyn opened her eyes.

  “Are you Mr. and Mrs. Grant?” The doctor said in a low voice. Jordyn realized that she was now in a hospital.

  “No,” a word Jordyn kept repeating to herself as she tried to run away from the situation.

  “No, no, no, this can’t be happening. This must be a dream, it has to be.” Confusion clearly visible on Jordyn’s face as she tried to wail herself to wake up from what seemed to her as a wretched dream.

  “Is she alright?” asked the doctor to Tom. “Well, as I was saying. Your son is in tip top shape. He’s a very healthy boy.”

  “Son? but I don’t have a son!” Jordyn really felt confused. She never had a son before. She only had Gracie.

  “Let’s have another baby,” Tom’s voice echoed again. This time Jordyn did not try running away from the situation. She felt glee as she saw a small boy ran towards her.

  “Mommy, let’s go have ice cream now.” The small boy grabbed Jordyn’s hand.

  Jordyn was confused yet tears ran down her face once again. She was sure that it was not tears of sadness as she felt herself smiling at the little boy.

  ***

  “Hello, is this Mrs. Montgomery?” Franny pressed Jordyn’s cellphone to her ears. “Yes. I am calling about Jordyn. She ran into a little trouble and may be there later than usual.”

  “Tom?” Franny heard Tom’s voice on the phone. His deep sultry voice sounded tired and depressed. He was waiting all morning at the advertising firm for Jordyn to come to work. Jordyn was still asleep at 11AM. Her head laid down on Franny’s thighs. She looked so peaceful.

  “What happened last night? Jordyn was crying all alone when I got home.” Franny asked in a concerned tone. Franny’s right hand was holding up the cellphone and her other hand was touching her forehead trying to massage her temples.

  “I sort of told her that I wanted us to have another baby,” replied Tom to Franny’s question. His voice started to shiver. It sounded like he was about to shed tears.

  “You said what?” Franny let out a whispered scream at the shock of what she had heard. She did n
ot want to wake up Jordyn with the phone call so she continued to sit down right beside her.

  “I told her I wanted to have another baby,” Tom repeated himself trying to make it clear about what happened between Jordyn and Tom last night.

  “Why don’t you just rip out her heart Tom?” asked Franny as a rhetorical question. She massaged her temples even harder to combat the headache given to her by Tom’s words and let out a big sigh.

  “I really am sorry. I am trying my best to make things better.” Tom sincerely apologizes for his actions.

  “You better fix this or I will get my hot Spanish boyfriend to beat you down.” Franny threatened Tom to get back together with Jordyn.

  Jordyn woke up hearing the words ‘Spanish boyfriend’. “Are you and Jorge are an item now?” Jordyn yawned asking Franny. She stretched her body and turned around to look at Franny.

  “Well we are not really official yet although I would bet his tight ass that he wants to be with me. Who wouldn’t want to be with me?” Franny replied to Jordyn’s question immediately. She paused her statement as she realized that Jordyn had enough strength and was feeling better enough to speak again.

  “You’re awake and speaking!” Franny immediately hanged up the cellphone to tend to Jordyn’s needs. “Do you need anything, sweetie? Do you need coffee, waffles, pancakes? Just name it.”

  “A hot cup of coffee sounds amazing.” Jordyn replied yawning and lifting her head off of Franny’s thighs.

  “I’m really sorry about what happened last night. I didn’t mean to ruin your date with your new boyfriend.” Jordyn apologized with a quick hug to Franny.

  “It’s all fine. I got to feel him up either way so the night was not a total loss.” The feeling of Jorge’s hot body crossed Franny’s mind. Jordyn looked at Franny and lifted her right eyebrow giving a curious look.

  “Stop looking at me like that. I just rode...” Franny stopped for a moment to bite her lower lip. She repeated her last statement. “I just rode on his motorcycle while feeling up his abs through his thin cotton shirt.”

  “I am glad that you finally have someone,” Jordyn began to rub her red puffy eyes. “Tell me about it later. I need my hot morning coffee.”
