When Hearts Collide (Complete)

~ Chapter 10 ~

                    Jackie cleaned up around her house, her thoughts focused on one man and for the first time, it wasn’t that jackass of an ex husband.  No, maybe thinking of him would be easier, but nope, her thoughts were focused on Bobby.  And she wanted to yell.  She knew it wasn’t fair, but for the moment, she was going to dwell on it.

                To her, the funny part about all of it, in fact, was that she had already had this talk with herself.  She knew she couldn’t get involved with that man, so why be upset?

                Jackie sighed as she put the last plate away.  She wasn’t dumb, she knew the emotion.  And as much as she hated to admit it, it was straight out jealousy.  Bobby did things to her body that she had long forgotten.  And the bad part about all of it was that she knew she wouldn’t get the chance.  None of the other guys that came in did that to her.    

                She shook her head and checked her phone.  Her kids would be home any minute and she had no time to be thinking about him.  Her kids demanded her time and she was looking forward to that.  Maybe she would take them to the movie and their favorite place to eat for dinner.  Lord knows they deserved way more than that, thanks to their shitty ass dad bailing on them.

                Bobby eyed the young man; well okay he was his age that was in a black shirt.  He walked over to Buzz, shook his hand, said something to cause the old man to smile and walked over to him.  He held his hand out to Bobby, a laid back smile on his face.

                “You must be the new guy; I’m Justin.”

                “Yup, I’m Bobby.”  Bobby shook his hand but still eyed him up.  Guy stood a few inches shorter and wasn’t as built, but his blonde hair, blue eyes and easy smile probably had a lot of the ladies swooning.

                “Nice to meet you.  Did you enjoy working with Jackie?” he asked as he walked behind the bar.

                “Yeah, she’s got great skills.  Shocking how young she is too.”

                “Oh yeah, and not too bad looking of a boss.”

                “What do you mean?”  But Bobby knew what he meant.  Every guy, from what he saw, had eyed her.  Why would Justin be any different?

                “Jackie is gorgeous without being sleazy, like a few of the ladies that have come in here.  She’s got a classy air that you don’t find anymore.  And,” Justin leaned over and whispered to Bobby, “you would never think that woman was 38.  If I was into older women, I would so have tried with her.”  Bobby gritted his teeth, not sure what irked him more.  The fact that Justin was talking about screwing her, or the fact that he hated the idea of anyone screwing her.

                “Why didn’t you?  Age is just a number man.”

                “Jackie isn’t a cougar.  We all think she looks good, but she doesn’t think it.  Her ex-husband f****d with her head more than we all like.”

                “Have you met the jerk?”

                “Yeah, sadly.  He’s come in a few times to talk to her.  Buzz and I would love nothing more than to throw him out when he comes in, but she won’t let us.”  Bobby nodded at that, but let it go.  He didn’t know the man but he had quite the urge to take care of the man.

                “Hey Bobby?”  Bobby snapped his head up as Buzz called him.

                “Yeah?”  Buzz tossed him a set of keys.

                “Can you go put those away please?  I got to deal with this phone call about one of our shipments.”

                “Oh, sure.  Top drawer?”  Buzz nodded and turned his attention back to the phone call while Bobby walked back to the office.  He walked around the desk and opened the top drawer, dropping the keys in.  But as he looked up, his eyes caught three pictures.

                On the left was a girl, about the age of 12, maybe 13, with the biggest grin on her face.  Her brown hair was pulled back into a high ponytail and the beach was behind her.  The picture on the right had a boy around 10 with a big grin too, along with the beach behind him.  But it was that red hair that stood out.  And below that, was a third picture of the two kids along with Jackie, who had an arm around each kid.  She was sporting the same big grin as the kids and they all were in front of the beach.  And in that photo, Bobby got a good look of a body he shouldn’t have, for she stood there in a tankini, just one that revealed far more than it should have.  f**k, she was looking f*****g amazing.  But, holy s**t, she had kids and kids were something he did not do.

                And that was like a bucket of ice water to his sense.  Nope, time to really stay away.  Bobby walked out of the office, his goal tonight was to find a willing lady and f**k her hard, since his mind was now free.  His eyes scanned over the crowd, still shocked to see how full it got when the doors first opened.  And in that crowd was some good looking ladies.  Yup, he was going to screw something tonight.

                Bobby led the women up to his place, his hands making quick work of her shirt before they even got through his doorway.  He pushed her against the door, trapping her arms with the sleeves of her top, his tongue flicking, twisting and tormenting hers.  The woman moaned against his mouth as her body arched up against his and he wanted to shout for the joy when he felt his d**k start to get hard.  Although, he wouldn’t focus on why it was taking so long.

                He fumbled with the door and finally managed to get it open, almost stumbling through with….with…ah f**k, he forgot her name.  Megan?  Moncia?  Mary?  God damn, was he that horrible that he couldn’t remember the names of the chicks he was f*****g?

                Whoever at the moment….she grabbed a hold of his waist and started messing with his button on his jeans, and then started yanking at his zipper, and he quickly lost train of thought on anything.  But he pulled back before she could feel how not hard he was.

                His eyes roamed over her, taking her well toned abs, her small t**s and the less then defined hips, and just like that, within a flash, he had an image full of someone with lush curves standing in front of the beach, causing him to rise even more.  And when his eyes landed back on the woman before him, his semi hard on deflated.  What the f**k?  Women with kids were such a turn off for him.  That should have been the one thing to keep his mind off of her.  But here he was, for the second night in a row, with a hot piece of ass, and he was struggling.  This was f*****g absurd and something that never happened.  So, now what?
