Second Chances

Indecent exposure

Alanna has two funerals taking place simultaneously. Normally, that will not be a problem, but due to their budget cuts, Alanna has no support staff. She needs to be there refilling the coffee, cleaning bathrooms, and taking care of anything that may come up. Jack made her late, but she didn’t mind. Also, Jack offers to help her. Jack left his family at his house and left with Alanna. He preferred to be with her than his judgmental mother.

Jack’s mother began to cry after Jack left. She honestly believes Alanna is a bad woman who is only going to hurt Jack. She always wanted her kids to marry Christian people and, in her eyes, Alanna was more of a demon. Mary tried to console her but her. Mary explained to her mom that Jack was happy and that was all she should worry about. Jack’s mother refuses to listen and walked away. Then John wrapped his arm around Mary. John asked Mary, “What do you think of Alanna?” Mary smiled and replied, “I don’t know her very much, but for what I have seen, she loves Jack, and Jack is crazy about her.” John nodded and Mary continued talking, “but who can judge him. Have you seen her?” John smiled and sat next to Mary, “seen her? I saw her naked riding your dear brother.” Mary opened her mouth widely and grabbed her face in surprise, “What?” John continued, “Apparently your brother is getting more action than me. Jackie complains about them being loud and always on top of each other.” Mary laughs and remembers what she saw last night. John added, “I’m telling you big bro is having the time of his life.” Mary nodded. “Mom has to leave him alone; he deserves some happiness after what Susan did to him.” Jack mumbled. Mary was confused. Jack is very private, so she never asked Jack about his divorce. She knew her brother wasn’t at fault because he was too much of a goody tissues to do anything wrong. Mary looked at John confused. John realized she didn’t know, so he explained that in an argument with their mom, John confessed that Susan had cheated. Now Mary understood why it was so hard for Jack to start dating again.

Alanna and Jack arrived at Paeoniae Exercise extremely late. A group of people were waiting for the doors to open. Alanna apologized and rushed to open the doors. She asked the people to wait for a few seconds until she prepared everything. She asked Jack to enter the room on the left of the lobby and turn on the light while she ran to the room on the right. Alanna enters the room. She turns on the lights and opens the coffin. She checked the older gentleman in the coffin and made sure everything was fine. Then she ran to the other room where Jack was waiting for her, expecting more directions. Alanna ran to the coffin, opened it and fixed the young lady’s wig. With the rooms ready to receive people, she rushes to the front entry and lets the people in. As the people make their way inside, Alanna offers them coffee or tea. Jack followed her around, waiting for Alanna to tell him what to do. Alanna starts making her way to the cafeteria when someone comes in with a big wreath. Alanna asked Jack if he could help the lady and explained to him where it belonged.

Jack enters the cafeteria and finds Alanna setting up pastries and a sandwich tray. The cafeteria starts to smell like coffee and then that is when Jack realized that Alanna was making two pots of coffee. Jack rubs his head lost, looking at Alanna putting together six different trades of food with incredible speed. Alanna finished the food. She organizes the food in the cafeteria, sets up the food, and prepares a rolling car with a coffee pot, milk, sugar, cream and she sets a tray with some pastries. Alanna asked Jack to go to the closet next to her office and pick up two boxes of tissues. Alanna made her way around the lobby serving people coffee. Jack hands Alanna the tissue boxes and Alanna takes a box to each room. Both funerals were going to last all day. Alanna likes to prepare dinner for the families and friends in the morning.

Alanna saw that everything was going smoothly, so she invited Jack to the kitchen. She took him to the cafeteria, and she walked to the end of the room where there was a locked door. Alanna took her keys out of her pocket and unlocked the door with the cupcake-shaped key. Jack noticed that all her keys had a design according to their purpose. He grabbed her keys and looked through them: the office key had a sticker of staplers, the daycare key had a teddy bear-shaped cover on top, the bathroom closet key had a sticker of a toilet paper roll. Alanna smiled and took the keys back. Jack shook his head laughing, “You are an enigma.” Alanna fixed her hair behind her ear, “What? It makes it so much easier.”

They walked into the kitchen. The kitchen is around 1,000 square feet. The right side has kitchen cabinets from one side to the other. At the beginning, there are three sinks. Then a long roll of different cooking appliances and all the way to the end there is another sink. On the left side, there are two refrigerators and a big freezer. Then there is a line of cabinets and shelves filled with canned goods, some fresh fruit, vegetables, bread, crackers, etc. It almost looked like a supermarket. In the middle of the long kitchen, there are two long tables. Jack exclaimed, “wow, this is big.” Alanna smiled and explained that all daycare and funeral food is prepared there. She explained that she also tries to have enough to share with families that are in need. Jack kissed her and asked how he could help.

Alanna asked him to take two chickens out of the freezer and put them to defrost in the two microwaves at the end of the long countertop. She handed him a pair of gloves, a net for his head and an apron. She grabs the same for herself and puts it on. Alanna grabbed a bag of frozen shrimp and a bag of frozen vegetables. She empties them into a big slow cooker. She added some pasta, some chicken broth, and some seasoning. She closed the lid and turned it on. Then she pours some rice into a big rice cooker with some water and sets it up. She set up another slow cooker with mac&cheese. Then she set a big crockpot to steam mix vegetables. Jack watched her while he waited for the two chickens to defrost. “You are so fast,” he said to Alanna. Alanna looked at him as he responded with a timid smile, “lots of practice.” The microwaves finished and Alanna had just finished setting up the last appliance. Alanna asked Jack to place the chickens on the table. She took a big bowl and bottles of seasoning to the table. She cleaned the chickens of feathers that were mist. Then she placed the chickens in the bowl one at a time. Alanna seasoned the chickens. She placed them in two other crockpots. Alanna set them for baking, she cleaned the table, placed all the dirty dishes in the dishwasher, and went to the sink at the end of the counter to wash her hands. Jack followed her and grabbed her from behind when she finished washing her hands. He kissed her neck and asked, “what can I do?” Alanna turned around and tap kissed his lips, “You can help me prepare the salad, set up the bread, set up the vegetable tray, and organize the ham and cheese trade.”

Alanna’s phone rang. Someone was calling her about needing toilet paper in the woman’s bathroom. Alanna asked Jack if he was okay finishing up. Jack nods and Alanna rushes to take her gloves and hat off. Alanna was walking out the door and Jack ran after her. He wrapped his arms around her and untied her apron. He kissed her as he took it off. “I can get used to this”, Alanna exclaimed, caressing Jack's face.

Alanna went past her office. She stopped at the closet, opened the locked door with her toilet paper label key and took out a few toilet paper rolls. Walking to the bathroom, she noticed a lot more people. She rushes to the bathroom and replenishes the toilet paper. She notices paper around the floor and some dirty toilet seats. Alanna goes back to the closet and picks up the cleaning car. She pulls a long sleeved plastic apron out of the car. She puts the apron on and cleans the bathroom. Then she goes to the man’s bathroom and cleans it too. Alanna returns everything to the closet, locks it and goes to each room to check if everything is fine. Some children were running around, so she offered childcare. The parents agree, so she took the children to the daycare. Alanna called the girls to see if one of them was available to help at the daycare. None of the girls answered, so she had to stay with the kids.

Jack finished preparing the trays. Alanna asked him to help her prepare. He wondered why Alanna was not back yet, so he went out to look for her. He noticed that there was a mess in the cafeteria and the coffee needed to be replenished. Jack picked up the mess, cleaned the tables, and refiled the coffee. Suddenly, someone grabs him from behind and kisses his back. He turned around to find Alanna grinning. Alanna explained what happened. Luckily, Linda called her back and took over the daycare, but now Alanna needed to get her some snacks for the children. Jack offered to take the snacks, so Alanna gave him the snacks and returned to the kitchen to finish setting things up. Thanks to Jack, the cafeteria was clean. She just needed to set up the food. She turned on the food warmers and took the food out of the kitchen. She set the trays that Jack prepared next to the food warmers, and set cold drinks on another table with a bucket of ice. Jack came back and helped her finish. They set everything up and Alanna did one more round around the rooms to make sure everything was fine while Jack cleaned the kitchen.

Alanna locked the kitchen and took Jack to her office. Jack threw himself on the sofa, “how do you do all this alone.” Alanna sighed, “Sometimes Carol helps me, but she had a family event.” Alanna sat on her chair exhausted. Jack rushed to her. He grabbed her chair and rolled it in front of the sofa. He sat on the sofa and grabbed her legs. Jack rested Alanna’s feet on his lap. He removed her shoe and then the other. Alanna sight. Jack massaged her feet. Alanna laid back and closed her eyes. After a while, Alanna fell to sleep.

Someone knocked on the door. Alanna was staring. She jumped off her chair. Jack held her back. He took Alanna to the sofa and asked her to lay down. He caressed her face and whispered, “I got it, rest.” Alanna replied, “Thank you” and closed her eyes again. Jack opened the door and stepped outside.

Alanna woke up worried. She put her shoes on and hurried out the door. Alanna was confused when she saw the lobby empty and most of the lights off. She desperately called Jack. Jack came out of the cafeteria running. He called, “Alanna, are you okay?” Alanna stood in front of her office looking around confused. Jack took a good look at her and smiled, “Are you okay?” Alanna asked, pointing around, “Where is everyone?” Jack explained that everyone had gone home. Alanna was so tired that she slept for hours. Jack took care of everything so she could rest. Alanna walked around the building and noticed that the carpets had been vacuumed, the rooms were clean, the coffins were closed, the bathrooms were taken care of too, and the cafeteria was almost clean. Alanna hugged Jack and kissed him and helped him finish cleaning the cafeteria. They closed and went back to Alanna’s house. Jack did not feel like risking running to his mother again. They took a shower and plunged into bed, immediately falling to sleep in each other’s arms.

The next day, Alanna woke up early as usual and went to the basement to work out. Jacked joined her later. He looked tired. Alanna thanked him for helping her and letting her rest the day before. Jack smiled. They work out together.

They were surprised by a knocking on the door. “Someone at the door this early?” Alanna said, walking up the steps to open the door. She opened the door wearing sweaty workout pants and a sports bra. She found Mary standing at the porch holding three coffees. Mary looked at her sweaty chest and licked her lips like her brothers. Then she said, “Hope I’m not interrupting anything.” Alanna smiled and called Jack, “Jack Mary is here.” Jack ran up the stairs. He said hi to Mary. Mary handed them the coffee. Jack took his cup of coffee and drank it in a sip. Mary smiled, “rough night?” Jack smiled but did not answer. Alanna took her cup and took a sip. She took it to the kitchen and transferred the coffee to a travel mug.

Mary noticed that Jack was not wearing a shirt and sweat dripped off his back. She apologized, “Sorry, did I interrupt?” Jack replied, walking to the kitchen and kissing Alanna’s head and grabbing her behind as he walked past her. Jack explained how they work out every morning together. Mary smiled and sat on a stool facing them in the kitchen. She began to explain the reason why she was there. Mary noticed that Jack didn’t sleep in his house, so she figured that he must have stayed with Alanna. Therefore, she went looking for him there. Then she informed them that she was going home. She had enough information, so she just needed to return for the trial. Alanna ate something fast and left to get ready for work. Alanna apologized, but she had to go early because she had two burials to prepare. Alanna rushed up the stairs. Mary looked at Jack, raising her eyebrows, and Jack nodded. “She is so busy.” Jack offered his sister breakfast. Mary nodded and smiled.

Mary sat and talked to Jack about the case while Jack ate breakfast. Alanna walked down wearing a black pantsuit with a dark blue button-up shirt. She only buttoned some of the buttons and her shirt wasn’t tucked in. Alanna bends down to hold her heels while putting them on and her breast exposed through the opening of the shirt. Mary smiled and said, “Okay”. Jack rushed to Alanna and buttoned her shirt higher. Alanna laughed as she finished putting her shoes on. She caressed Jack’s face, kissed him, and said, “My love, I was going to do that. I’m not done getting ready. She stood straight and shoved her shirt into her pants. Then she fixed her collar and kissed Jack again. She grabbed her handbag and gave a hug to Mary. She said bye to her, then hugged Jack, gave her a passionate kiss and spanked his butt. Then she grabbed her keys and left.

Mary looked at Jack, she rubbed her head with her hand as if she was cleaning her sweat. She then exclaimed, “I really like this one. I don’t know how you got a woman like that, but if you are not careful, I’m going to steal her from you.” Mary laughed but Jack didn’t find it funny. He frowned and replied, “She is amazing, but you are not funny.” Mary smiled and grabbed his hand. She then talked to Jack in a sweet tone, “I am so happy for you, big brother. You deserve to be happy and don’t worry. Alanna clearly loves you as much as you love her. That woman only has eyes for you.” Jack smiled and timidly asked Mary, “You really think she loves me as much as I love her. You know is my world?” Mary nodded, “She is so sweet even though she acts so tough. I can see right through her. She is as deceiving as you are. She looks tough but is a softy inside and you look quiet but, you are a monster inside.” Jack replied, “Not, I’m not. You know I’m a very calm guy. I don’t know what got into me that day. When I found Alanna crying, all I could think was about killing whoever hurt her.” “That my sweet big brother is called love,” Mary said, poking Jack in the chest. Jack blushed. Mary then asked Jack to take her to the airport. Jack asked her to wait for him to get ready and then he would take her. Jack took his sister to the airport and then he went to work.

Alanna finished work early so she decided to surprise Jack with lunch. Jack always took lunch for her, but she never had a chance to do the same for him. Alanna went home, cleaned up and changed into a long red bottom-down dress with elbow-length sleeves. She let her hair down. Her dress had buttons at the end, but she only had a few of them buttoned. Her dress was unbuttoned on the top, exposing a small part of the top of her breast, then it was buttoned until a few inches before her knees. She was wearing black knee-high heel boots. When she walked, her knees pushed her bottom part of the dress open, exposing her boots.

Alanna picked up some of Jack’s favorite sushi and went to his job to surprise him. She called him before entering to make sure that he was there. Jack apologized for not calling her because he had been busy with a big case. Alanna cut the conversation short and told him that she would call back.

In the police station, the officers peaked out the window. Jack was walking to an officer’s desk to drop up some files when he noticed the commotion and looked outside. Suddenly, the world began to move in slow motion. He saw Alanna walking to the station. Alanna was holding a takeout bag. She was walking to the front door of the station that was only a few feet from where she parked, but for Jack, it felt like miles. It was windy and a little cold. She walked with her hair waving in the wind. The bottom of her dress opened and the back was lifted a little by the air. Jack stood in the middle of the hallway staring at her. He licked his lips. Alanna made it to the door. The officers laughed and talked about her. They joked about the maneater coming to turn herself in for killing a man in bed. Nothing bothered Jack. He was mesmerized by Alanna. An officer opened the door for her and looked at her back as she walked in, making a hip sway motion. The officers inside laugh. Jack began to walk towards her, staring at her eyes. Alanna smiles timidly as she walks towards him. Jack passed by the desk of the officer where he was dropping the files. He let go of them slowly on the officer’s desk without stopping his slow walk to Alanna. Alanna met with Jack and held the bag in front of her. She smiled and said, “delivery for Sergeant Jack”. Jack smiled and grabbed the bag out of the way. He grabbed her arms and kissed her. The station became quiet. Everyone stares at Jack and Alanna walking to Jack’s office. Then Jack grabs Alanna’s waist and guides her to his office. He led her in and closed the door behind him. Jack closed the blinds in his office for privacy. An officer cleared his throat and everyone began to laugh quietly.

In the office, Jack places the takeout bag on his desk, grabs Alanna, and passionately kisses her. He then moved back and took a good look at her. “WOW!” he exclaimed, smiling. Then he holds her close and whispers to her ear, “I wish my office was more private like yours. I would rip that dress off.” Alanna laughed, “I’m glad you like it.” Jack leaned against his desk and asked her, “Why do I get such a beautiful surprise?” Alanna explained that she came out of work early so she decided to get him some lunch. Jack grabbed her hands and took another look at her. Then he said, “I love it, but you look too sexy to be walking around.” He pulled her closer and kissed her neck. Alanna giggles and holds on to his legs. Jack grabs her neck and kisses her. He forgets that he is in his office and he turns her around and pushes her against his desk, making. Jack slides his hand through the opening of her dress and grabs her leg. He pulls it up slightly as he rubs himself against her. Alanna held on to his back tightly and they kissed. Their heartbeat increases and they begin to breathe heavily. Jack moves his hand higher and gently pushes into her. Alanna starts to feel his pulsing and she begins to drip. Then there was a knock on the door. Jack moves his hand out of Alanna's dress and fixes his uniform. Alanna straightens up her dress. Then they realized that the whole station was quiet. Jack swallows and asks, “I’m busy at the moment. Could you come back later?” Outside the door the Lieutenant answers, “Not really, Jack, can I come in?”

Jack's face changed and he rushed to the door. He opened the door and an older, profoundly serious man walked in, staring at Alanna. Alanna felt his eyes piercing through. He walked in Alanna’s direction. Jack closed the door, blocking the prying eyes of the officers that were trying to see what was happening. The Lieutenant turned to Jack and asked, “Can you explain what this woman is doing here?” Jack rushed next to Alanna and explained that she was bringing him lunch. Alanna felt the tension in the room and interrupted Jack, “I was just dropping that and leaving.” She pointed at the bag, walking in front of Jack, rubbing his chest and telling him that she would call him later. Alanna walked out of the office and made it through the office full of quiet officers seriously staring at her. Jack looked at the Lieutenant upset. The Lieutenant told him, “this is not a motel” and walked out of his office. Jack grabbed the takeout bag and ran outside after Alanna. Alanna was about to open the door and Jack stopped her. He apologized for his lieutenant’s behavior and explained that he is friends with his mother. “Can we still eat this?” he asked, showing her the takeout bag. Alanna embraced him and kissed him. Jack took her keys and led her into the passenger seat.

He drove to a park close by. They walked to a picnic table. Alanna sat on the table with her legs on the bench. She took the sushi container out of the bag and placed it next to her. Jack stood in front of her with his hands on her knees. Alanna fed him the sushi. Jack struggled to hold back the urge to spread Alanna's legs and get between them, but they were in a park, so he had to settle for rubbing her knees. Jack finished all the sushi and they walked to a trashcan to throw the trash away. Jack held Alanna’s hand and drank his soda as they walked. They took a walk around the park. They came upon a heavily wooded area where it is known for young people smoking weed. Jack was wearing his uniform, so he walked into the area where the kids normally hang out and found three young kids. He asked to scare them away and called Alanna. She follows his voice to a heavily wooded area. Jack was waiting for her, leaning against a fallen tree.

Alanna looked around and walked to him. Jack grabbed her and began kissing her. Alanna stopped him and told him that someone could see them. Jack unbuttoned some of her top buttons, exposing her breast and kissing her chest. He tells her that no one will be there for a while, knowing that a police officer is there. Alanna runs her hands through his hair. Jack slides his hand into her dress and finds her panties. He rips them off. Alanna took a deep breath and began kissing him excitedly. Jack opens his pants and moves between Alanna's legs. He then grabs her legs and, pressing her against the tree, pushes himself inside of her. Alanna moans quietly. Jack grunts and pushes into her roughly. He holds Alanna’s back tightly, keeping her from moving. Alanna holds on to him and kisses his neck. Jack kisses her chest and gently bites her neck. He gets so excited that he marks her neck. Alanna tries to keep herself from making noise, but Jack’s rough movement makes her want to scream for pleasure. Jack kisses her, frowning at her screams. Alanna scratches his back and bites his shoulder as she approaches ecstasy. Jack holds her tight and gasps for air.

They come out of the wood scratched, bitten and messy, bruised as if they were fighting a tiger. A woman was walking her dog and walked quickly away when she saw them. Jack and Alanna laughed and walked slowly to the car. Jack had his arm around Alanna’s shoulder, his finger interlocked with hers, and Alanna had her arm wrapped around his waist. They talked while walking and occasionally stopped to kiss. Alanna dropped Jack at work and went home.
