A night stand with a stranger

The warm afternoon breeze blew past the hair saloon, cars whooshed by honking and drivers yelling at each other. The aroma of freshly baked cakes from the bakery opposite the saloon made mouths water. The breeze blew the aroma into the saloon and Whitney welcomed it into her nostrils. The aroma melted on her tongue and she licked her lips craving the cake that a such sweet smell The hairstylist making Whitney's hair chuckled at Whitney's funny expression. "If you're not careful, you'll bite your lips off," the hairstylist said Whitney realized she had been biting her lips, she blushed embarrassed at herself "I can't help it, the smell is just so sweet" Whitney inhaled "Yeah that bakery sure knows. how to make one's mouth water" the hairstylist affirmed Whitney smiled staring at herself through the mirror in front of her. She smiled in satisfaction at the butterflies her hair was made into Jack picked the hairstyle for her, they were to attend a high school reunion held by the principal of their high school In Jack's words, he said *he wanted everyone to see how beautiful his wife was*. That compliment made Whitney's cheeks grow red as she remembered it Jack was a sweet talker He sure did know how to make Whitney feel loved with his sweet remarks "Okay and that's the last of it, " the hairstylist said done with the last butterfly "Mmm....wow I love it..thank you," Whitney said running her hand through her hair "Jack is sure gonna love this" Whitney added "Who?" The hairstylist asked "My husband " Whitney replied Just then her phone rang, Jack was the caller *Oh speaking of the devil* Whitney thought and picked up the call "Hey how's my sugar doing " Jack's voice beamed from the other line "I'm good...whatcha doing" Whitney asked "Nothing in particular, I'm done for the day...you are done with your hair," Jack asked "Yeah, hold on I'm gonna send a photo," Whitney said, placed Jack on hold, took a mirror photo of herself and sent it to Jack "You seen it" Whitney asked putting Jack back on the call "Yeah and man! You look sweet" Jack compliment Whitney giggled getting flattered "I knew that hairstyle would fit you....so I'm gonna pick you up," Jack said "Sure...hurry up, I'll be waiting " Whitney hung up Whitney stood outside the saloon watching people go in and out of the bakery with pastries and cakes in their hands Her mouth watered even more, for some reason unknown to her, she had been feeling too hungry lately She always wants to eat, even if she isn't hungry. A car pulled up in front of her and Whitney recognized it as Jack's car Jack came down with a smirk "Now here's my sugar, much" he kissed Whitney "Mmm you look sweet, I feel like licking you like candy" Jack said "Shut up...I'm hungry " Whitney pouted "You're hungry?....then let's get going so I can make you delicious food at home," Jack said "No I want some desserts not food, we can get some from that bakery," Whitney said pointing at the bakery opposite them "Okay let's go" Jack held Whitney's waist and then crossed the road to the other side. They went into the bakery and Whitney gasped at the beautiful interior of the bakery. Posters of mouth-watering cakes and pastries hung on the wall and Whitney's stomach grumbled just by staring at them They settled on a table and soon enough a waiter came running along "Good day sir, ma'am. ..what would you like to have" the waiter asked politely "What will you have sugar," Jack asked running his eyes through the menu Without looking at the menu Whitney replied "I want ten layers of cake with different flavours and frosting," she said "What" Jack almost yelled "Ok, is it for a birthday celebration or an anniversary " the waiter asked "No..we'll eat it here," Whitney said "Um..are you sure ma'am " the waiter asked a little hesitant to take the order "Yes, and please add some donuts with it" Whitney added The waiter walked off with the order after a long stare "Whitney, why did you order 10 layers of cake...you can't possibly finish it," Jack said "Don't worry babe, this tummy is ready for some cake" "Ahhh that was delicious...I'm full" Whitney burped and patted her stomach Jack stared in shock Right in front of his eyes, Whitney ate a whole 10 layers of cake He only had a slice on his plate Whitney licked her mouth and hands "Hey will you eat that" Whitney asked referring to the slice of cake on Jack's plate Before he could reply, Whitney grabbed the slice and down it went into her throat "Ok, this too weird...what's wrong with you Whitney you're eating too much," Jack said "Uhh I'm tired, let's go home" Whitney mumbled "Alright, let's wipe your hands first then we leave" Jack helped Whitney clean her hands and cheeks Then they left for home from there. Jack pulled up the driveway and Whitney got down, she hastily walked to the front porch and opened the door, and went into the house. Jack locked the car door and he wondered what had gotten into Whitney. Cause she's acting weird He went into the house, Timmy barked excitedly seeing Jack Whitney wasn't in sight Jack crouched and petted Timmy's head "Hey buddy...here got you something" Jack brought out a donut package and emptied it into Timmy's food bowl Timmy waged his tail eating the donuts and licking the icing from his snout "Enjoy buddy," Jack said then headed up the stairs He got to the master bedroom then went in, Whitney played on the bed, and from the looks of it, she was asleep. *so fast* Jack thought He checked the time. It was past 2 *well Whitney can have about 2 hours of sleep before we head off to the reunion * Jack thought "Guess I should take a nap too" he mumbled, took off his shoes and coat then lay beside Whitney on the bed He later fell asleep At the school's reunion "Ooh, I'm so nervous to see our old school mates" Whitney shivered "C'mon it'll be no big...besides you got me" Jack held her hand tighter Whitney smiled at him and they entered the big hall where the reunion was held It was the school's gymnasium but it's been decorated with fancy lighting and curtains. Cool nice music played in the background and a few couples were dancing on the dance floor "Hey man, you both made it" Jace and Erick fist bumped into Jack "You looking sweet pumpkin " Erick complimented Whitney "Dont me that" "Dont call her that" Whitney and Jack said at the same time, "Whoah chillout guys, I only complimented my sis" Erick raised both his hands in defense "Only Dad calls me pumpkin," Whitney said "And only me calls her sweet" Jack added "Sheesh" "Where's Kate and Stacey " Whitney asked "Probably around here somewhere, this party is lit," Jace said "Did we hear our names?" Someone asked from behind them They turned to see Kate and Stacey "Of course, we did, who else would they be asking of," Kate said Erick scoffed "Ooh I've missed you two...come over here for a big hug" Whitney opened her arms, The three groups hugged each other squealing "Girls" Erick shook his head "I tell ya" Jace seconded Jack just chuckled "Hey buds" Chad appeared The night went by, and each former student of the school got acquainted with each other. Peeps from Whitney's class came, including Harry and Tara. They all had a good time, but something was off about Harry. No one could notice it, everyone was too in a joyous mood to notice that. Soon it was time for everyone to leave, but Whitney felt pressed so she had to use the restroom "Okay hurry up," Jack said after Whitney excused herself Whitney hurried to the bathroom, unknown to her that Harry followed Whitney went into a stall, and Harry waited outside for her Whitney did her business, washed her hands then came out the stall. She was quite surprised when she saw Harry outside the stall "Harry? What are you doing here" she asked "Hey, I saw you earlier and I thought I should say hi " Harry smiled "And?" Whitney asked sensing he wasn't done with what he said "And I thought I should maybe apologize for the stunt I pulled back in high school. ... I was hoping you could forgive me" he said "Sure, I don't hold anything against you" Whitney smiled warmly at him "No hard feelings" Harry stretched out his hand for a shake "Yeah no hard feelings" Whitney shakes his hand "Um, so can we be friends?" He asked "Why not, we're friends already Harry " Whitney replied "Cool, um can I have your digits " Harry asked "Um okay" Whitney called out her digits for him He typed it into his phone and saved her digits "Cool I'll call you, bye now" Harry waved walking away Whitney smiled *Maybe he has changed* she thought going back to Jack and they headed home
