The Joy of Revenge

CHAPTER 36 Donuts Joy After the boys left, I took a quick shower, crawled into my king-size bed… …alone…. ….with my gun in the drawer of my nightstand and went to sleep. I woke up to the loud sound of chiming bells and groaned. With my eyes still closed, I reached over on to the nightstand, blindly feeling my way to the source of the sound. Once I felt my phone, I quickly tapped on it and the blaring sound disappeared, allowing the silence of my room to surround me once more. I was still groggy, but I had to wake up. I promised Lisa I’d be at her office early in the my word. morning and when it came to business, I was true to my 1 sat up and stretched my hands above my head, bending from side to side to wake up. It was five- fifteen in the morning and still dark, but I needed to go for an early jog before I started my day. ressed in running gear. A simple white tee over a blue sports bra, blue running shorts ite running shoes. I tied my hair into a high pony tail and placed my phone, wallet, and a face towel into a small jogging pouch. It was a bit chilly outside, but nothing 1 couldn’t handle. I did some stretching exercises at the bottom of the brick steps in front of my doorway, holding on to the black railing while I held each foot behind me. After stretching, I proceeded down the street, exiting the cul-de-sac into town. I decided to jog to the diner to grab breakfast to go and pick up my car at Cristos’ pub. Sadly, Cristos had to leave to provide Sebastian and Xavier some cover. I was hoping he would spend the night. Unfortunately, we weren’t expecting to find Noah sober and spying on me. At least I was able to share a sweet moment with Xavier. Among the three of them, I didn’t -see him the longest. While Sebastian and Cristos made quick trips to California, Xavier sacrificed coming home. He didn’t want Liam and his buddies snooping around while he was gone, especially when he had ‘sensitive

equipment’ lying around the warehouse of his grocery store. Well, as they say, good things come to those who wait, and finally, we were together again. 1/5 13.32 Mon, Mar 25 CHAPTER 36 Donuts I stopped right in front of the diner and steadied my breathing before entering. The diner opens at five and usually has fresh pastries served by six. I glanced at my watch and saw that I was ten minutes early. I entered the diner and took a seat at the counter. I was patiently waiting for the server, playing with a dinner knife, when someone sat beside me. I turned my head and saw Jack Emery smiling at me, freshly showered and dressed for work.

“Good morning, Virtue! I guess Go d heard my prayer this morning. I smiled at him, but the grip I had on the dinner knife tightened. I wasn’t expecting to see him so soon. What rotten luck… Well, a dinner knife may not be sharp, but I can stab him in the eye with one. Jack driving to the diner when I saw her running. Her long legs kept a steady pace. while her a ss sashayed with every step she made. I thought she was going to turn around and ead on home, but she ran towards the diner instead. She took a moment outside to steady her breathing and wipe the sweat off her face before walking inside. After I woke up, I had asked G od for our paths to cross again and here she was. I couldn’t believe my good fortune. She was sweaty, her cheeks flushed and there were errant strands of blonde hair on her forehead which made her look even more beautiful in my eyes. As the sunlight began streaming into the diner, her skin glowed, making her look like a sun goddess.

“Good morning, Jack!” She smiled ever so sweetly, showing me her perfect teeth. Her blue -eyes tw inkled like gems. “I didn’t expect to see you out so early in the morning. Do you usually have breakfast here at the diner?” “Just every every Monday and Friday. I have to be at the station by six-thirty. I actually wasn’t expecting to see you here. You don’t look like the type to eat all this greasy food,” I said. She laughed. It was so beautiful to hear. There was one other woman who had a laugh I liked, but 2/5 M SE CHAPTER 36 Donuts she doesn’t talk to me anymore. If we did talk, it was usually because I had business with Liam. 8261 “I had their cheeseburger yesterday and yeah, it was a bit greasy, but isn’t that the reason why we all come back for more? Nothing beats eating a greasy cheeseburger, especially when you’re with good friends,” she murmured. “Anyway, I heard their donuts and bagels are really good. Since I promised Lisa I’d meet her first thing, I can only have a quick breakfast. What about you, Undersheriff?” The way she said ‘undersheriff’ was so s exy. Her face was so close to mine, I could smell the peppermint of her mouthwash. I imagined myself licking the sweat off her neck, my mouth moving downward to her supple breasts while my hands caressed her inner thighs…all the way up her… “Undersheriff, your usual?” Kate, one of the diner’s waitresses, asked, interrupting my erotic thoughts. Kate was a middle-aged woman, who had circles around her brown eyes from lack of sleep, bony cheeks and white in her dark hair. She was wearing her pink and beige waitress uniform which hung loose on her. I was surprised. Even Kate’s gaunt face couldn’t bring down my bo ner. I placed my hat on my lap, hiding my erection. If I have time later, I’ll just je rk off to the

She ripped off the piece of paper, placed it on the cook’s counter and rang the bell. Then, she turned to Virtue. “Hi honey. My name is Kate and I heard you’re the new girl. Nice to see you so early this morning. Since you walked in, Lyle has been in a good mood. He said he saw you with Noaht yesterday.” Kate pointed to the cook who was singing while he was cooking. Lyle was a thirty year old man and always had the morning and afternoon shifts. “So, what can I get you?” “Hi Kate. I’m Virtue… and I would like three boxes of powdered donuts and a box a bagels,” Virtue answered. “You know what… make that four boxes of donuts. I forgot. I’m meeting Lisa later. And oh, say hi to Lyle for me.” “Four boxes of donuts?” Kate asked, surprised. “Yes, Kate. One for me, one for Noah, one for Lisa and one for Jack here for being so helpful 3/5 CHAPTER 36 Donuts 82% last night.” Oh s hit! Of all the people Virtue could talk to, it had to be Kate. Kate’s daughter was Joan Summers’ bestfriend. “Marla honey, I need four boxes of powdered donuts and a box of bagels,” Kate instructed the other server and focused her attention to Virtue “You don’t say. What happened?” Kate asked, interested. I waved my hand in the air, hoping to stop Virtue from saying anything. “It was nothing. Honestly Virtue…you don’t have to buy me a box of donuts-” “Don’t be modest, Jack,” Virtue cut me off and placed a hand on my shoulder. I trembled at her touch while I felt a throbbing in my nether regions. My c ock was throbbing for her… throbbing to be inside her. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

I was so busy imagin ing myself in between her thighs that I didn’t stop her from telling Kate about what happened last night. …there was this suspicious looking black car parked in front of my house last night. Jack confronted the driver and sent him on his way,” Virtue said as if I were her hero. I’d actually feel proud if it weren’t for the circumstances. “Black car, huh?” Kate said, staring straight at me. I quickly averted my eyes from her og gaze. was grateful when Marla came with the boxes of pastries in paper bags. Virtue handed me at bag and took out her wallet to pay. “Thank you, Kate,” Virtue said, handing her $200. “Jack, your breakfast is on me. Kate, keep the change. Have a good day everyone.” She hopped off her stool, took her paper bags of pastries and walked towards the entrance of the diner. I sighed dreamily while I watched her walk away. How can anyone be so beautiful? Suddenly, I realized I forgot to ask her out for coffee. “Hey Virtue! Wait!” I called out to her loudly. “How about-” I was too late. She had already left the diner. I was about to chase after her when Kate dumped my plate of eggs, bacon and toast in front of me. 4/5 CHAPTER 36 Donuts I sighed. I’ll just look for her later.” Chapter Comments Luna-Mom
