Star Struck(11)
The buzzer sounded indicating to her that someone was outside her gate. She pressed the button after confirming it was Trevon. A few minutes later Trevon was knocking at her door. “Thank you for coming,” she said, as she gave him a quick hug.
“No kiss.”
“Maybe later,” she responded.
“Garrett told me he upgraded your system.” He followed her to the living room.
“Why didn’t you suggest the change?”
“Like anyone can tell you anything,” Trevon responded.
“When it comes to my safety, I would have listened.”
She sat down on the couch and he sat on the opposite end. “It’s a mute point now. Garrett’s taken care of it.”
“But the point is, you should have.”
Trevon moved closer to her. He picked up her leg and removed her slippers. He massaged her foot. “I must admit when I come over, I lose all my senses. You have a way of doing it to me.” He planted kisses on her toes.
Hailey began to squirm. Her plan was backfiring. With each touch of his lips, her body betrayed her and reacted. She jerked her foot away. “Ouch,” she said, when it bumped the coffee table.
“Baby, you okay?”
“I’m fine,” she snapped.
“What was so important that you needed to see me?” he asked smugly.
Hailey crossed her legs and looked Trevon straight in the eyes. “I’m really concerned about my safety.”
“That’s why we have Brenda with you and if you like we can hire a few more people to watch the outside of the gates.”
No dummy, I want you to say you won’t leave my side until they find out who’s sending me these letters. “She can’t be with me twenty-four hours a day.”
Trevon pulled out his cell phone. “Let me get Garrett on it right away.”
Hailey reached up and took the phone away from him. “That won’t be necessary. You being here makes me feel secure.” Hailey moved closer to him so that her ample chest was at his eye-level.
He cleared his throat a few times. “Uh…what are you doing?”
“Isn’t this what you came over here for,” Hailey said, as she pushed him backwards on the couch and planted kisses on his lips as her body covered his.
Trevon wrapped his arms around her and they did the tango with their tongues for several minutes. He sounded out of breath when he said, “If you don’t stop, I won’t be able to.”
“Then don’t.” Hailey took off her shirt and Trevon was in the process of removing her bra, when the buzzer from the gate sounded.
“Darn it,” Hailey blurted out. She left Trevon on the couch as she went to see who was at her gate. She yelled, “It’s Garrett. Bring me my shirt.”
“What is he doing here?” he asked.
Hailey pulled her shirt on. “How am I supposed to know? He’s your buddy and business partner.” She looked in the nearby mirror to make sure her hair wasn’t all over her head and before Garrett could ring the doorbell, she had the door open.

“Strange meeting you here partner,” Garrett said, after hugging Hailey.
Trevon responded, “I was in the neighborhood.”
“Yeah right.”
“Gentlemen, there’s enough of me to go around,” Hailey teased. “Let’s go to the kitchen. I could use a drink.”
“I am a little thirsty,” Garrett responded.
Trevon followed behind them. Hailey looked in the refrigerator. “All I have is soda and iced-tea.”
“I’ll take tea,” Trevon responded.
Garrett said, “Give me a can of soda.”
Hailey got a few glasses and put some crushed ice into each. She handed each a glass and a can of their desired drink.
She stood while the men took a seat on the bar stools. “Did Brenda tell you about the pictures?”
“That’s what I came over here to talk to you about. I wasn’t aware you had company.”
“I didn’t know I was going to have company either,” she responded.
Garrett looked between the two. “Regardless, we were able to eliminate your employees finger prints but whoever this person is isn’t in any of our databases.”
“And how is that helping my situation?” she said, in between sips.
“At least we know this person doesn’t make it a habit of breaking the law,” Trevon answered.
Hailey’s house phone rang. She looked at the caller ID display. “Fellows, I have to take this. Make yourselves at home.” She walked out and left them in the kitchen by themselves.
“Your girl called for you at the office. I lied and told her you were on assignment,” Garrett said.
