Hayden parked his car next to mine in the building's parking lot where I lived. He helped me take out the bag and followed me to the elevator. I glanced at him, and he had a silly smile on his lips.
"I'm not going to sleep with you, you could be my grandson," I said.
He stopped smiling and looked at me.
"Why do you think I want to sleep with you?" he asked.
I wanted to smack myself for saying such nonsense.
"I don't know, you're acting weird and that confuses me," I said honestly.
Hayden smiled sideways.
"I don't want to be anyone's sugar mommy," I said.
Hayden started laughing. Now I felt even more stupid. God, why did I say so many stupid things?
"Can you stop?" I asked, annoyed.
He stopped laughing and looked me in the eyes.
"I'm sorry," he apologized as he gave me a smile.
The elevator doors opened on my floor and I stepped out. I walked to my apartment without looking back. One of my neighbors looked at me and greeted me, then glanced over my shoulder and smiled.
"He's my nephew," I lied.
She looked at me unconvinced but didn't say anything. I grabbed Hayden's hand and quickly ushered him in; I didn't want more people to see him and think I was a pervert.
"Your nephew?" she asked with amusement.
"She was getting weird ideas," I said.
I took the bags from him and went to the kitchen; I put everything on the counter and started taking out the bottles and snacks I had bought for snacking.
"How do you know what she was thinking?" he asked.
I took a deep breath and turned to look at him. I had made a huge mistake bringing him to my house. What the hell was happening to me? I was acting like an idiot.
"I'm a lawyer, I have to know what the opponent is thinking," I said.
He nodded.
"What am I thinking?" he asked seriously.
I observed him for a long moment and my mind went blank.
"That I'm a crazy menopausal woman who thinks you like her," I said with a small smile.
He approached me, put his hand between my arm and placed it on my waist, then pulled me closer to him, pressing me against his body.
"You got the last part right," he said.
He slowly brought his face closer to mine; the pupils of his blue eyes began to dilate with each inch he approached. I swallowed hard. This wasn't happening!
I closed my eyes and felt his warm lips on mine. I felt his wet tongue making its way into my lips, but I pressed my mouth tighter.
"Open your eyes," he requested.
I opened my eyes and looked at him. He had an expression of eroticism that I had never seen in any man. Hayden kissed me, and this time he took advantage of my carelessness to stick his tongue deep into my mouth. I gasped as I felt his hands squeezing my buttocks. He lifted me slightly, leaving me on tiptoe; that way, I could feel his huge bulge pressing against my pelvis. In a moment of lucidity, I pushed him away and slapped him.
"What's wrong with you, I could be your mother!" I shouted.
He looked as confused as I was.
"I'm sorry," he said.
He rubbed his cheek and then smiled at me.
"I like you, and I know I'm going to conquer you," he said.
I blinked a couple of times. Was he crazy? Or was I the crazy one?
Hayden turned around and left my apartment, leaving me with a whirlwind of emotions. I grabbed a bottle of wine and opened it; I took a good swig. Maybe it had all been a product of my imagination.
I left the bottle on the kitchen counter, took off my heels, and threw them aside. What had happened to me was crazy; these things weren't supposed to happen in real life, especially to ordinary women like me.
I searched for my phone and dialed Grace's number; she was the only one who could help me with this.
"Hello?" she answered.
I could hear moans and strange noises.
"Tell me you're not having sex with anyone, please," I pleaded.
She let out a little giggle.
"I told you I'll be there for you anytime. Ah! What happened?" she asked.
I stayed silent for a moment.
"It's nothing, just have a good time," I said and hung up.
I grabbed the bottle and went to the bedroom. I didn't need anyone else tonight. It was just me, my snacks, and alcohol; that was all I needed for the moment. I was going to forget what had happened a few minutes ago; maybe he was just desperate, and because I was older, he thought I would open my legs right away.
I took a long sip from the bottle, sat on the bed, and absentmindedly stared at the door of my room. To be honest, it had been a long time since I had been kissed in such a hot and passionate way like he had done. I lay down on the bed and put my hand inside my pants. I was overthinking things just because I needed sex.
I greeted the other employees at the law firm where I was a partner. I went to my office and put some documents on the desk that I needed to review."Good morning," Lily greeted me.She came in with a bouquet of red lilies in her hands. She put it on my desk and smiled at me."They're for you," she said with excitement in her voice.I took out the small card that was among the lilies and read: "I will conquer you. Sincerely, H.""Who is 'H'?" she asked.I gave her a dirty look, and she quickly left my office. I set aside the card and started to work. My phone rang, and I answered it immediately."Do you like the flowers?" he asked.I looked at the screen of my phone and frowned. How on earth did he have my number?"Would you like to have lunch with me?" he asked.I didn't know what to say. How could this guy stress me out so much?"I'm busy. I ask you not to send me flowers and not to call me again," I said.Hayden laughed."Are you nervous?" he asked.I almost choked, but I took a de
Waited for my sister and the cockroach bastard to leave before turning to look at Hayden, who had a sweet and mischievous smile on his lips."Let's make a deal," I proposed.He crossed his arms and nodded."I'll give you the month, but you have to pretend to be my partner. If in a month you don't win me over, we'll continue with this until my sister gets married, we'll be good friends, and we'll have a good time," I said.Hayden scratched his nose a bit."Sounds good to me, but I know I'll win you over, I'm charming," he said with a smile and a wink.I let out all the air I had in my lungs, and my shoulders slumped. I had gotten myself into the lion's den for being "mature" and not wanting to look like a loser with my sister."That guy is disgusting, how can your sister want to marry him?" he asked."I need a drink," I said.I turned around and started walking towards the road; I would go to a bar, have a couple of drinks, and if I was lucky, I would find someone to have a good time w
Hayden stopped the car in front of huge gates; one of the guards who were standing there approached us."Mr. Bennett," he greeted.The guy waved to the other, and he opened the gates. I looked at Hayden, what kind of person was he really?"What the hell are you?" I asked him.Hayden smiled but didn't look at me."I'm a human who has a very rich father," he told me.I took out my phone and googled his last name; a bunch of results came up: "Oil magnate Alexander Bennett acquires major company, becoming one of the wealthiest men in the world.""Don't fuck with me, are you Alexander Bennett's son?" I asked, surprised.He nodded slowly."Let me guess, there's a huge plane here, and you're going to take me to another country," I said.Hayden turned to look at me and laughed."That's too much like a romantic movie," he said.I rolled my eyes immediately."So what are we doing here?" I asked him.Hayden stopped the car, got out, I got out too, and started walking beside him; he led me to a h
We arrived at her apartment, and she opened the door. I entered immediately; she looked at me and then smiled."I'm a woman of my word, I wasn't going to leave you on the street," she said.I shrugged; anything could happen with her, so it was better to be cautious."Stay here, I'll get comfortable," she said.I nodded. She disappeared into her room, and I stayed there, looking around. On a shelf, there was a photo, so I approached and observed it. It was a much younger Kat, appearing to be on some university campus and looking beautiful. Another girl was with her, a brunette with huge glasses, looking like the typical nerd."What are you doing?" she asked, startling me.I turned around and looked at her; she was dressed in oversized pajamas."It's like three in the afternoon," I reminded her.She shrugged and went to the kitchen."I like to be comfortable while I get drunk and watch romantic movies," she said.She took a bottle of wine from her fridge and placed it on the kitchen cou
I woke up abruptly feeling my breath being cut off. Kat was practically sprawled over my chest, and Grace's leg was on my abdomen, pressing down as she hugged my leg tightly. I moved Kat aside a bit and tried to lower Grace's leg. Kat lifted her head slightly and opened her eyes, staring at me; I smiled a bit. Her hair was tousled, and her just-awakened face was so lovely."Did you sleep well?" I asked her.She squinted her eyes and lay back on my chest. I looked up at the ceiling and frowned; I was living every man's dream, but in a bad way."Your heartbeat is soothing," Kat said sleepily.I smiled satisfied with what she said; I was on the right track."Kat, my head hurts," Grace complained.Kat moved away from my chest and sat up in bed; she looked at me and then at her friend, who was still clinging to my leg."You drank two bottles of tequila; it's a miracle you're alive," Kat replied.And it was true, Grace drank much more than Kat. Grace let go of my leg and also sat up in bed.
While I was working, I couldn't stop thinking about what Grace had said. Maybe I could give it a try, after all, I wouldn't be hurting anyone. I bit my lower lip and took out my phone from my bag. I searched for his number and stared at it for a moment, unsure whether to call him or not."This is so hard," I said to myself.I took a deep breath, closed my eyes for a moment, opened them again, and looked at his number. I pressed the call button and waited until he answered. I stayed silent for a moment; I was already regretting it and I hadn't even proposed anything to him yet."Kat?" he called."Hello, how are you?" I replied.I fell silent again. I didn't have the courage to talk about the subject; I was getting all tangled up because of paying attention to Grace."Are you okay?" he asked."Do you want to have lunch with me?" I asked him.Now he was the one who fell silent."Really?" he asked me.I was about to hang up, but I took a deep breath and calmed myself down. I was thirty-si
In the afternoon, I went to visit Grace at her workplace. I needed to vent to someone about what had happened today with Hayden. I knew she would come up with some offhand comment that would make me laugh. "Apple cider or cyanide?" Grace asked me. I smiled and sat down in front of her. "I suggested we hook up, and he said no," I told her. Grace's mouth dropped open, then she furrowed her brow. "I thought he was into you," she said. I nodded. "He wants us to have some kind of non-relationship. I just don't get it," I said. Grace looked even more confused than I was. "What do you mean?" she asked. "He wants us to hang out, and if at any point in our non-relationship we want to hook up, we will, but he doesn't want just sex. He wants there to be, like, feelings or something," I said. Grace crossed her arms. "That boy is weird," she said. I nodded vigorously. "Exactly! He's too weird," I said. Grace shrugged. "He could've given you the night of your life, and he'd have the
Grace and I went to open the door, and as we did, I stood there looking foolishly at him. Hayden was wearing a black suit that made him look even more handsome; it fit him so well that it seemed tailor-made. Was there anything that didn't look good on this guy?"You look beautiful!" he said with a smile.Beautiful me? Hadn't he seen himself in a mirror? He entered my apartment, Grace greeted him, and then she left."I like the dress, it suits you perfectly," he said while eyeing me up and down, making me feel so sexy."It's Grace's," I admitted.Hayden moved closer to me, caressed my cheek, and then lowered to my lips. Hayden ran his finger over my lower lip and then looked at his finger."It doesn't come off," he said.I furrowed my brow, not understanding what he had said, but he didn't give me time to think as he grabbed the back of my head and planted a kiss on my lips. I hugged his neck and intensified the kiss. Hayden's hands seized my butt; he caressed and squeezed it forcefull
