Ian's POV
"Thanks for coming to lunch with us." Hailey gave Marco a polite smile as she took a bite of her taco, dropping a lot of the meat from the bottom. She held her hand under her as if she were trying to catch any food that might fall out of her mouth or chin. Her mannerisms were adorable as always, earning an amused grin from me. Marco smiled too, although it wasn't quite as bright as it once had been.
"Thanks for having me. I love this place," Marco responded, having barely touched his food. He was withering into nothingness before me, losing weight every day, it seemed.
"It doesn't seem like it," Hailey teased him, pointing to his untouched meal. Marco just brushed it off, taking a large bite to prove her wrong.
"I really do love this place. This was where my wife- my ex-wife and I celebrated our ten-year anniversary." Marco took a deep breath, as if trying to keep himself from crying. Hailey seemed to understand his mood so much better now, knowing what was going on. I hadn't had the chance to tell her what was going on with him, as she kept trying to have sex with me in the office. She had no idea how badly I wanted to cave in and just give her what she was asking for. I know, however, that my office is not the place for that. It's unprofessional and really not that private. Maybe one day, when I stay late and everyone is gone. Picturing her bent over my desk was more than I could handle right now. I want to ravish her for the rest of today, but instead, I have to go back to work after this.
"This is actually one of my father's restaurants," Hailey informed him. "If you ever want to bring your ex-wife here and remind her of what she's missing."
If only Hailey's pushy ways could fix my friend's problems, but I doubt even Hailey could fix this.
"That's sweet of you to offer, but I doubt she would even answer the phone for me to even attempt to ask her." Marco hung his head, seeming utterly defeated.
"You never know. If you don't try, it will for sure be a no. Give her a chance, I doubt she fell out of love with you if you were together that long. My parents have been divorced for well over a decade and I still think my father loves my mother in a way. Just give it a try, and let me know, okay?" Hailey persuaded him, being hopeful as always.
"Yeah, okay." Marco nodded, seeming to have a small ray of hope light inside him. Hopefully, Talia can be forgiving.
"I think we should go to Nacio's party," she said, being stubborn about Halloween.
"I am telling you, we don't need to go to the party. We need to go to my mom's and have her make us a great Italian meal. Then we can go to the square and enjoy the festivities there."
"That's wholesome and all, but we're still young, Mi Vida. We need to be out there enjoying our youth. What you described is more of what we would do when we become a family."
"When we become a family?" I smirked at her, loving the idea that she was thinking about it just as I was. We've been together for almost three months now and that's very soon to be thinking about a family, but Hailey makes it easy to daydream. It isn't something I am in a rush to make happen. More like I could see it happening with her, if that makes sense.
"Shut up, you know what I mean." She rolled her eyes, still trying to win this argument.
"I'll make you a deal," I started, seeing her sit up as she became more interested in what I had to say. "Admit you want to start a family with me, and I will go to Nacio's party instead."
"I don't want a family right now. Kids are way down in the future, but yes, I can see myself starting a family with you," she admitted, suddenly being bashful. Her admission had me grinning from ear to ear.
Ever since we confessed our love, we have been going at it like jackrabbits. Thankfully, Hailey lets me try new things all the time. I have found that my favorite thing to do is cum deep inside her and watch it drip out of her when I pull out. Seeing Hailey all sweaty, spent, and with my cum running down her- it's perfection. The image alone is enough to get me hard again.
"Would you like me to fuck you hard or would you rather I kiss every inch of you, working you up and fucking you slow?" I whispered in her ear, feeling her stiffness beside me.
"We can't, Christin will be here soon. Dad closes early today to allow everyone time with their families."
"That's too bad. I really liked the idea of filling you up and knowing I'd be coming out of you all throughout the night."
"You're killing me," she complained with a groan, biting her lip as she looked at me. I could see her tortured look, knowing she was turned on.
"I can't help it."
"Maybe we have some time if we hurry," she said, jumping off the couch and almost sprinting to her door, but just as she reached it, the front door swung open to an overly tired Christin.
I would be more upset about the cockblock, but Christin had been gone so much here lately that this was honestly the first time she got in the way. Besides, I liked Christin. She's nice and pretty funny, or so I've noticed from our small interactions in passing. Hailey, however, seemed so upset that her cousin had just walked through the door, I almost laughed.
"Long short day?" I asked her as she set her things down.
"Extremely. Remind me again why I thought being a chef would be a good idea?" She asked Hailey, who was now making her way back to me with a slight pout. I only found it amusing, making me smirk at her. She didn't seem to appreciate it as she plopped down on the couch away from me with her arms crossed.
"Because you're insane," Hailey answered, turning all her attention to her cousin. She was acting mad at me as if it's all my fault we couldn't have sex. Really, she's blaming me for her sexual frustrations, which I caused by turning her on at a terrible time. I'm not going to lie. I enjoyed knowing I was driving her wild like this.
"Oh, right. That sounds accurate." Christin slunk into the recliner, closing her eyes for a moment as she rested. "What's on the agenda for tonight?"
"We are hanging with Liv and Lucas and then going to a party tonight. Wanna come? Party starts at 10."
"That's way too late. Your dad may close early today but he still opens at the butt crack of dawn tomorrow." She sighed, slinking so far down in the recliner she was practically falling off it. "I'll just be lame and stay in and watch scary movies."
"I'll find someone for you to be lame with. Maybe Hortensia. You know she probably has no plans right now."
"No way! I love my cousin and all, but she can suck the fun out of everything." Hailey laughed at that, making me wonder how strict her older sister was.
"Okay. I'll look for a guy instead."
"I do need to get laid. Then maybe I won't feel so stressed." Hailey and Christin laughed, but I felt a bit out of place in this conversation.
"And this is where I see myself out." I joked, getting off the couch.
"Oh, please! Like I don't hear your grunting and her yelling over the white noise machine in my room. You two are as loud as a freight train crashing through our apartment." She shook her head at me, causing me to feel somehow immature. So I took my seat again, seeing her point.
"Fair."
"Damn straight."
The conversation carried on, with Hailey finding an old friend they both knew to come and spend time with Christin. Dude doesn't know what he's in for with her. She seems ready to pounce.
Once evening hit, Hailey started getting ready. She made us match, which I should have seen coming. She liked making us color coordinate, turning us into that cute couple you pick out in a crowd. She wore a deep red sweater with a pair of leggings and dark Ugg boots. She looked warm and cozy, yet very stylish and damn sexy, as usual. She dressed me like her Ken doll, having me wear a black shirt and burgundy jeans with black shoes.
"What do you think?" Hailey asked me when she finally finished, holding her hand up in the air as she struck a pose. Beautiful as always.
