When we finally left and went home, I sent the kids to the game room to relax and said I’d go make popcorn for a movie.
When I went to the kitchen, I pulled my phone from my pocket and dialed Haley’s number. I knew the odds of her answering weren’t in my favor, but I couldn’t help trying.
Indeed, it went to voicemail.
I set my phone down on the counter and sighed, rubbing my temples. It was absolute hell not knowing where she was or what she was doing with the baby that was likely mine. I knew I didn’t really have a say but I loved Haley, and I…
I loved Haley.
I realized I hadn’t actually said it like that to myself before and I immediately knew what I needed to do. I had to find her, tell her how I felt, and beg her for a chance at redemption someday. She was worth every bit of humble pie I would have to eat to make this right if only she would give me the chance.
I rushed to the living room and beckoned my tiny adult to speak to me in the hallway. Leann trudged over; eyebrows raised in curiosity.
“Hey,” I said quietly. “I know you know something is going on with me and Haley and I have to go talk to her right now.”
“Is Grandma coming over?” she asked with an annoyed drawl.
“Actually,” I began. “I was wondering if you wanted to be in charge. I was your age the first time I babysat my brother. How about I give you twenty dollars and as many snacks as you guys want and you make sure those two don’t hurt themselves.”
Leann looked at me in consideration before saying. “Grandpa gives me a hundred dollars every time I see him. Isn’t the safety of your children worth at least that?”
Dear Jesus. What kind of politician was I raising?
“Fine,” I said. “A hundred dollars—”
“And the snacks?”
“And the snacks.”
“Okay,” she said. “I’ll do it. I have your phone number on my backpack in case of an emergency and I know how to call 911.”
“Good girl,” I said, pulling her into a hug and kissing her on the head. “I’ll be back as soon as possible. If the clock reads seven and I’m not back, call Grandma.”
“We will see,” she said in an ominous tone, walking back to her siblings.
Despite the fact that I was beginning to worry if I’d made a bad deal, I rushed for the door and grabbed my coat, bolting for the car.
When I arrived at Brother Bear’s, I paid the valet to park my car and ran into the lobby, making a beeline for Kevin’s office. If anyone would know where Haley was, it would likely be Anna.
I was familiar with the layout of the lodge, but where exactly Kev’s office was, I didn’t know. So, I swung up to the front desk and asked a young man who was working there.
“Excuse me,” I said to the man wearing a name tag that readAndy. “Can you point me to Kev’s office?”
Not surprisingly, he looked at me warily. “It’s at the back of that hallway…” he said hesitantly.
“Thank you so much, Andrew,” I said, pulling out a hundred-dollar bill and stuffing it into his jacket pocket. “You’re a lifesaver.”
I followed the hallway all the way to the back until I saw a door that readKevin Young - Manager.I grabbed the handle and pushed open the door, hoping Anna would be there and could point me toward Haley.
What I came upon was a little more than shocking.
Anna was there, all right, naked and bound to a chair with Kevin’s cock in her mouth. My brain told me to run but I couldn’t stop staring like it was some kind of a trainwreck.
“Hell fuck, James,” Kevin said, withdrawing his member and trying to cover himself with his hands. Poor Anna was helpless to make herself decent and I turned so my back was to them. “Close the fucking door.”
I did better than close the door, I stepped out of it and closed it behind me, only pausing to utter, “Good for you guys,” with a little chuckle. I wished I could say it was the first time I’d walked in on Kevin doing something of that nature, but I’d be lying.
Within a moment or two the door opened again and both Anna and Kevin were staring at me with irritation.
