When they came from the deep freeze, Mary hopped up on the counter and sat swinging her legs. This was her usual spot, her usual way of sitting. Sometimes, often, she wore bobby socks which meant she only had panties or maybe panties and a half slip on underneath. Bill stepped up to her and pushed himself between her legs so he could kiss her. They kissed deep and hard. He reached up her dress, not so much to touch her privates, but enough to softly stroke her bare thigh. Mary put her arms around him and held him close.
“You know this is where you’ll get your real loving,” she said.
“I know.”
“Do you? I mean I know I ain’t got no hold on you and I know you hit anything that moves. I don’t understand you having a fiancé.”
“She’s off in her own world. That will change when she graduates. Right now, she’s focused on her and she’s all that matters to her.”
“Well you matter to me.”
“That’s easy for you to say. You don’t live with me or have to tolerate me.”
“But I…” Mary stopped herself.
“Last night, I didn’t get home till four in the morning and when I called today to talk to her, to make an explanation, she was on her way out with her friends. All she told me was to try to get home earlier tonight.”
Mary kissed Bill and took his hand higher so he could catch a feel of her over her panties. She guided his hand and kissed him more, sucking his tongue like a lollipop. “Just remember, this is where the loving is at.”
After Mary went back upstairs, Bill went into the party room and set some chairs facing each other so he could put up his feet and take a rest. Wasn’t long until he fell off into a good nap, and he would have slept longer if Mary had not found him out and woke him. She did that when she learned Drenovis was in the house. She didn’t want Drenovis to find him sleeping. Drenovis wouldn’t have done anything, maybe said something, but it wasn’t worth the hassle for Bill, Bea or her.
Drenovis did not stay long. He took a quick look-see throughout. He spoke to Mary about the menu and to Henry Lee, who just made it out of the ladies room, about the steaks needed for the west side. Lexi did not work lunch and had just come in. He caught her still in her street clothes, leered at her and had a few words for her, but he didn’t hassle her too much, just enough to let her know he was the boss. He was biding his time because sooner or later he was going to either get with her or fire her.
Just before the dinner was about to start, when everything was set up, she found Bill sitting out in the hall. Mary, Bea and Henry Lee were gone. Marie was on her station and taking care of everything there. Bill was on the milk cases. He was almost nodding out so she found him with his eyes shut.
“Hey sleepyhead.”
“Hey Lexi.”
“Last night was great.”
“Yeah it was good.”
“When we gonna do it again?”
“Not tonight, that’s for sure. Tonight I’m getting some sleep.”
“What time you get home?”
“Four.”
“What time you get up?”
“Five.”
“Damn, that sucks.”
“Thank God for black beauties.”
“Want a coffee?”
“Nah. I got to get up, so I’ll get it.”
“Let me go in first,” Lexi said.
Bill waited a moment and then went into the kitchen. Over by Marie, he drew himself a coffee and fixed it with cream. “Make me a double espresso, would you?” he said to Marie.
“Sure, baby.”
No orders had come in yet and Jimmy was on the line, so Bill sat back on the milk cases and sipped his coffee. A couple of minutes later, Marie came out with the espresso.
