“Oh she called you every name but a child of God but other than that, nothing that we didn’t already know.”

“Well I’m just relieved she’s locked up. Maybe I can have peace around here.” Hailey moaned. Garrett was making it difficult for Hailey to concentrate on cooking.

“Her attorney had arrived when I left. More than likely they will be letting her go.”

Hailey couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “You have the letters and the letterhead. Weren’t her fingerprints on it?”

“Actually, they weren’t. So until we can get more evidence on her, she’ll be out probably by the end of the day; if not sooner.”

“I should have cold cocked her when I had the chance.”

“Oh when she sees her photo in the paper, I’m sure she’s going to feel like you did.”

Hailey laughed. “She did look a hot mess didn’t she? Looks like I had perfect timing then. Teach her to mess with me.”

“I love a feisty woman.” Garrett’s smile was intoxicating.

“Oh, you haven’t seen anything yet mister.”

Garrett wrapped his arms around her while she stirred the eggs in the skillet. “If you don’t stop, I’m going to burn up your eggs.” Hailey said, gently pushing him away.

“So where is Trevon? Did he ride from the station with you?”

“Yes. I dropped him off at home before swinging by here. If you don’t mind, I could use a long hot shower.”

“And some sleep,” Hailey said, as she noticed the bags under his eyes.

“Let me eat first and then I’ll shower and take a nap. Hopefully, in your arms,” Garrett said.

Hailey finished cooking and served Garrett his food. She could spoil him all day and night. She wanted him to know that too. Instead of saying it, she would show him. In between bites, Garrett said, I can get used to your breakfast.”

“There’s dessert too if you want it,” Hailey said, feeling a little feisty.

“Do you care to join me in the shower?” Garrett asked.

“I’ll think about it,” Hailey responded.

Hailey placed the dirty dishes in the dishwasher while Garrett left to shower. She heard the shower when she entered the bathroom. She stood and watched Garrett for a few minutes before removing her clothes. He looked surprised when she opened up the shower door.

“I couldn’t resist,” Hailey said, as Garrett helped her into the shower.

Garrett picked up Hailey’s sponge and poured shower gel on it. He rubbed it over her body. Hailey closed her eyes as the feel of the water and Garrett’s circular motions relaxed her tense muscles. She returned the favor by scrubbing his body. Hailey could not resist kissing Garrett on his chest. She could care less about the soap suds. Garrett released some moans as Hailey’s lips kissed his chest. She saw his manhood rise. Before long, Garrett had her pinned up to the wall. She couldn’t help but gasp as he gently entered her.

Their bodies rocked in unison as the water cascaded over their bodies. “I love you Hailey,” Garrett said, as their bodies climaxed.

They were about to make love again on the bed when the buzzer sounded, alerting them to a visitor. Neither Hailey or Garrett wanted to move. Hailey got up first. She looked at the surveillance screen. “A reporter. Why she came by I don’t know. They should know I’m not letting them in.”

The reporter shouted. “Hailey we just need your side of the story and then we’ll go.”

“I can’t believe it. That looks like Sandy Blair. I thought she moved away after she tried to run over Parris.”

Garrett asked, “Who is Sandy Blair?”





“She had a fixation with Parris and Casper’s relationship. She ended up getting in a horrible accident. Nobody thought she would survive it, but she did. The whole ordeal was a big mess. I’m surprised you didn’t hear about it. It was all on the news.”

“I don’t listen to gossip.”

Hailey rolled her eyes. “Well, anyway, Sandy is the last person I want to talk to.

Garrett got up and answered for her. “Ms. Barnes is not talking to the press right now.”

Hailey’s house phone rang. She answered, although the number didn’t come across on the caller ID. “Ms. Barnes, would you like to give your statement…,” a male voice asked from the other end. Hailey slammed the phone down.

The phone kept ringing back to back. Hailey turned the ringer off. “The calls won’t stop coming.. I’m surprised it took them this long. Every time I get my number changed, they figure out what it is. That’s why I don’t even bother changing it now.”
