Filthy Desires: A Dad's Best Friend Story 44
We stared at each other, neither one of us willing to back down. He was a proud man but I was nothing if not my father’s daughter. I was proud as hell and even more stubborn too. If he wanted to be an asshole about it, then I was going to be one too. I didn’t want to quit, far from it actually, it would have meant giving Charles the satisfaction of thinking he won but at the same time, I wasn’t going to let anyone walk all over me- not even my father.“Hayley,” he warned but I simply rolled my eyes. “Why are you being stubborn about this?”“Why are you being thick headed about this?” I shot back. “I can either be your child or someone you own, I cannot be both and I will not allow you to treat me like both. You cannot take away everything I own and have worked for at the slightest inconvenience. You don’t get to control me and call it a day. I am not a puppet on a string, I am not a dog that you lead with a bone. I am a person and you will treat me like one or you will never have acce

I didn’t call Jake to let him know I was coming and on hindsight, I probably should have. His car was in his driveway when I arrived and I already knew the code so I felt no need to call and let him know. I slowly made my way up the steps to his front door and hesitantly knocked on his door.At first, there was no response and I raised my fist to knock again when the door opened and a pretty strawberry blond girl opened up. My first thought was that surely I had gotten the wrong house but I knew I hadn’t. She seemed familiar and closer to my age than Jake’s. We stared at each other for a full minute before she smiled.“I’ve seen you before, you said your name was Hayley,” she said suddenly and my brows furrowed. “You probably don’t remember me but you helped me out at a coffee shop a while ago. The cashier gave me the wrong order and you kind of ripped him a new asshole. You said you were a lawyer and-”The hazy interaction came back to me and a made a sound of acknowledgment. I saw h

I woke up before Jake did and while it wasn’t any achievement, I found myself grinning about it. He seemed so peaceful when he was asleep, and he looked half his age. He didn’t have the kind of stress that he usually did on his shoulders when awake. I couldn’t stop myself from reaching out to brush a stray strand of hair from his face. He mumbled something incoherent under his breath before gently running his hands up my bare thighs. It was cuter that he didn’t even realize that he was doing it.After staring at him for what felt like an unusual amount of time, I forced myself to my feet and pulled on his shirt that was lying on the floor. It fell to the middle of my thighs and I figured that was good enough to go downstairs and start on breakfast. I had momentarily forgotten that Kate was around until I bumped into her in the kitchen.She had a glass of water in her hands and thankfully, she didn’t drop it. she just stared at me for a second and blinked. My cheeks burned when I reali

Jake tried to give me his undivided attention but sometime during breakfast, he got a business call that he had to attend to and I watched him disappear. Kate hadn’t said a single word since we sat down, in fact, she tried to avoid my gaze the entire time.“I’m sorry if we-” I began but she cut me off.“I would rather not think about what you were doing,” her cheeks tinged pink as she spoke. “He looks happy so I guess that is what matters the most to me, and you seem like a great person too, you stood up for me when you didn’t know me. It doesn’t count for much but you have my support.”“Yours would be the only one I have right now so it counts for a lot.”Her eyes softened considerably. “Let me guess, your parents didn’t take it well?”“My dad, yeah, he’s friends with Jake so I can understand.”She grimaced. “What about your mum?”“I don’t have one,” I shrugged. “The closest I have to one is Alana- our maid- and she hasn’t said anything yet. She doesn’t say much most times, she belie

I walked into the office with my head held high hoping that it would hide the raging storm inside of me. There were whispers as people stared at me and for a minute, I wanted to know what they were whispering about, I wanted to know why the stares but I couldn’t ask, I didn’t ask. I wouldn’t have done that a week ago and I wasn’t going to do that now. I kept my head facing forward as I headed straight for my office.I had barely gotten to the door when someone approached me. Sienna looked a bit hesitant as she stood awkwardly at my door. She had a plastic cup in her hands and from here, I could smell that it was coffee. She handed it over to me and I watched it carefully. I wasn’t trying to be rude, I just didn’t know if I could trust her.“It isn’t the shit one they serve in the cafeteria,” she assured me. “I got it from this really nice café on my way to work and it cost like twenty dollars so you kind of have to take it or else I would have wasted my-”I took it from her and took a

Over the next two days, there was complete silence and I personally found that completely out of character for Charles and terrifying. The last time he had done that, he came out with pictures of Jake and I and nearly ruined my relationship with my father. I wasn’t trying to start anything but I was on guard. I checked my car and my office more times than I could count for listening devices despite Jake assuring me that there was nothing and that no one had entered my office.I was also looking over my shoulder at every opportunity. I knew my paranoid behavior was affecting everyone and not just me. Dad was worried and so was Jake but they still weren’t speaking to each other which only seemed to worsen my predicament a little because I hated feeling like I was in the center. I hated feeling like there was nothing I could do.“What you need is hot tea,” grandma chided as she took me in. As soon as work was over, dad had all but dragged me into his car and driven over to his parents.H

I left without informing anyone. They were much too busy to even realize that I had rushed out anyway and I had no intention of being in the middle of their argument. I tried to call Sienna but she wouldn’t answer. Panic started to climb up my throat like a band. I didn’t know Sienna well, but she seemed kind and the last thing I wanted was for her to be in trouble. We were not friends, so if she felt the need to call me then it had to be urgent.I tried dialing her one more time but when she didn’t respond, I sent her a text.Me: Where the fuck are you? Send me your location or something. I need to know where to go.It took a few seconds but she started typing again.Sienna: I’m so sorry, there’s someone following me and I don’t want them to think I have seen them. I’ll send you my location right now.She sent me the location and I muttered a curse under my breath as I drove there in a rush. It pinged to a bar and it looked like the kind of place I would rather be caught dead in. Sti

JAKE’S P.O.VI had expected Michael’s anger the moment I walked in through the door which was why I wasn’t surprised when he started screaming at me. Michael was my only friend, he was my closest friend and I knew I had crossed some serious boundaries the moment I decided to pursue something with Hayley. I wasn’t stupid, I knew what the consequences were going to be, it didn’t mean I was ready for them.I noticed the moment Hayley left as well and I couldn’t blame her. This couldn’t be easy for her, she was caught in the middle and as much as I wanted to protect her from everything, I couldn’t. She was an adult and I couldn’t wrap her up in a bubble like I wanted to. It made no sense to me.“Put yourself in my fucking shoes, Jake,” Michael slammed his fists down on the table. “You have a niece. Imagine she came home with a dude twice her fucking age and said she had been fucking him.”I tried not to imagine it. “Please leave Katherine out of this. She has nothing to do with this conve

HAYLEY’S P.O.VGrowing up I always thought about what it would feel like to see my mother.My dad had no pictures of her, it had been a stupid fling and she never reached out to him. He could have found her if he did but he never wanted to. He told me that if I still wanted to find her when I turned eighteen then he would.I went through all the stages of grief. There was anger at the fact that she had abandoned me and never tried to come back. There was the sadness and the feeling of not being enough for my own mother. By the time I turned eighteen, I didn’t care anymore and I told my father not to bother. It had always been me and him and that was how I wanted it.Seeing the woman in front of me brought back all those feelings of anger and betrayal bubbling up to my chest“I don’t have a mother,” I said finally. “You should leave.”“Please,” she grabbed my arm. “I just want to talk. I came all the way here to find you.”“I didn’t ask you to come here,” I spat jerking my hand out of

HAYLEY’S P.O.VI sat next to my grandmother in silence.I had her hand in mine and listened to the rhythmic beeping of the machines that were hooked up to her. The doctor said that it was only a matter of time but he had given her something to help with the pain.In the midst of all this, I couldn’t get a grip on my own emotions. There was so much swirling inside of me, too many things that I couldn’t get a grip on them. I hadn’t felt this conflicted in a very long time, probably not since I was a teenager.There was anger and pain and guilt. Guilt that we had all the money in the world and I couldn’t stop this, guilt that I was so focused on my own issues that I didn’t even see that she was dying right in front of me. She came back so we could spend time with her and I barely spent any, I spent it running around with Jake and worrying about Marie and his potential child that didn’t even end up being his.I felt stupid and incredibly foolish to say the least and I hated feeling stupid

HAYLEY’S P.O.VMy hands were shaking but I fisted them by my side until I got home. I needed a minute to myself to catch my breath, what I was not expecting was to find my father and Jake in the living room. They were discussing something but they immediately stopped as soon as they saw me.I was glad that they were getting along again but for fucks sake, I wished they took their business to Jake’s house because I knew that between the two of them, nothing ever went unnoticed.“We had the meeting with Marie,” Jake began as soon as he saw me. “She was pissed to say the least but-”“You should be going home,” I told Jake and his brows furrowed in confusion.I knew I was being rude but right now, I didn’t have the patience to be nice. He needed to go home because I wasn’t sure if the question from the police was mere curiosity or if it was a threat but if they were going to follow the trail then chances were that they might officially ask me who I was with and that would mean implicating

HAYLEY’S P.O.VThe sound of whispers woke me up.I tried to ignore it at first but it only got more urgent and I felt the covers shift as Jake got out of bed. With a small groan, I peeled my eyes open, the room was still dark, the only source of light was from the moon that spilled in through the drawn curtains.“Are you sure?” I heard Jake ask, the urgency in his voice taking away whatever remnants of sleep were left in me.I dragged myself up into a sitting position and my eyes found Jake. He was standing with his back to me, shirtless save for the boxer briefs he wore to bed and he was pacing. That was never a good sign because Jake never paced, at least not when everything was fine.“What’s wrong?”He turned to me, almost surprised and cursed. “Go back to bed, Hayley. Don’t worry about me.”“You’re pacing like a mad man and you look like shit,” I leaned over to turn on the bedside lamp drowning the room with a soft orange glow. “What’s wrong?”“The results are in.”If I wasn’t ale

JAKE’S P.O.VThe bottle of whiskey almost seemed to mock me as it sat on my dining table.A few years ago, I would have drank the entire bottle until I forgot everything and taken the first plane out of the city- maybe even the country. I had a knack for running away from my problems. It was what I did when Marie left me for the first time. I was living in California at the time and I got on the first place to London.I stayed there for a few weeks and by the time I returned, I packed everything up and moved to Las Vegas. I moved around a few times before finally deciding on New York because I remembered that Michael stayed here.Now, however, there was nowhere for me to run. It wasn’t because I couldn’t, I had too much to leave here. I could always leave the office and go to one of the many branches over the country so it wasn’t about work, but I had Hayley. I wasn’t completely sure if I had her, she seemed ready to run but I couldn’t blame her.I had to leave her in bed this morning

HAYLEY’S P.O.VI woke up with the knowledge that someone was in my room.I didn’t know who it was but there was a feeling at the back of my neck that alerted me to the fact that I was being watched. I couldn’t brush it off no matter how hard I tried so I reached out for the nightlight and turned it on casting the room in a warm orange glow. I found the person staring at me seated right opposite my bed.I glanced over at the clock beside me. It read one thirty a.m. “How long have you been here?”“In your room or in your house?” Jake asked not missing a beat.To his credit, he didn’t seem to be drunk but then again, he never drank that much. Even if he did drink at whatever time he arrived here first, chances were that the alcohol was already out of his system and he was sober.“My house,” I responded to his earlier question.“Eleven.”“My room?”“Twelve.”I raised a brow. I wondered how I didn’t realize he was here earlier. I was the kind o child who woke up the minute someone opened m

HAYLEY’S P.O.VIt was amusing how many people were interested in my love life.I tried to keep my head screwed on straight, tried to focus on making my day run as smoothly as possible but everyone else had other plans. Everyone had an opinion about my relationship, even my clients would allude to it during our meetings. I tried to keep everything as professional as possible but by lunch, I was tired.As usual, Jake sent me lunch and Sienna brought it up for me. I had no idea why she chose to act like my personal assistant but I wasn’t complaining because I truly didn’t want to leave my office and face the crowd. It had little to do with fear and more to do with the fact that if I did and someone said the wrong thing, I was going to snap.“You can sit here if you want,” I told Sienna and her eyes widened in surprise. “Stop staring at me like you just won the lottery.”“I don’t know if you’ve noticed, Hayley, but you are not exactly a people person. You don’t invite people into your off

HAYLEY’S P.O.VMy father was in my boyfriend’s living room.It took me longer than it should have it process what I was seeing because for a full minute, I just stood there staring and wondering if what I was seeing was an apparition or a figment of my imagination.Dad was in a tailored suit and he sat at the counter with Jake. They were looking over the files together and I just stood there watching until I felt a warm hand on my shoulder. Kate handed me a mug of steaming hot coffee with a smile.“You look like you’ll need that,” she whispered and I couldn’t help but laugh. I did need it.The sound caught my father’s attention and he turned to me with a smile. He walked over to me and placed a soft kiss on my forehead. I was suddenly so grateful that I decided to put on something before coming down. It would have been incredibly distasteful for my father to see me in nothing but Jake’s shirt.“Did you bring clothes for me?” I asked and his brows furrowed in confusion. “Work clothes,

HAYLEY’S P.O.V“Hayley,” I heard Jake call my name but his voice sounded like a buzzing in my ears.I could hear my father speaking but I couldn’t make out his words. My eyes were completely fixed on the words on my screen. I knew it was Marie, it had to be her. No one else could have leaked the news to the press in record time.I wasn’t sure whether to be pissed or impressed. I had grossly underestimated her and that was my mistake. She was a cunning individual and I wish I had thought about that before I pissed her off and became her number one enemy.A warm hand settled on my shoulder and I nearly jumped. Jake looked pissed but also sad at the same time. He watched me with a fear in his eyes as if he thought I was going to run away and leave him. I could tell he wanted to do more than just touch my shoulder but he was holding back for my benefit.“She’s smart, I’ll give her that,” I said finally and I could see everyone’s faces twist with confusion. I lifted my phone to my ear and
