Sweet Young Hallie

Sweet Young Hallie

I still can’t believe what just happened. The young woman is sound asleep, facing me, her arm over my waist. My left hand is traveling up and down her smooth, naked skin, from the auburn hair to mid-thigh. Never have I loved a person more, and I figured that out, just before engaging in the most fantastic fuck session I ever had.
……………
I had known Hallie for about six years, since she was sixteen. My wife, and I, met her in a local, small town grocery/general store. She was a delightful child, and treated all the customers as if they were special members of her family.
Since the town was so small, the store served coffee, donuts, and pancake wrapped sausages, called ‘pigs in a blanket’, each morning.

Hallie greeted all us old men with a bright smile, and a hug, each day. Needless to say, she made good tips. She opened the store every day, seven days a week. On school days, she was only in for an hour, then back again, after school.
About eighteen months after we moved to Allentown, Betty died with a brain aneurism. Hallie sat with me for hours in the funeral home, holding my hand. My wife and I had been married for thirty-six years. It was hard.

Fast forward five years…Hallie had completed her associate’s degree at Wheeler State, a junior college, about fifteen miles from Allentown, next to an army post. She had met a captain, thirty-four years old, who swept the trusting, loving, girl off her feet.
I, being fifty-five, could tell that I didn’t like Gary, the first time I met him. Hallie’s parents didn’t care for the conceited officer, either. They advised her against a deeper relationship, but the girl was smitten.

Within a year’s time, Hallie got pregnant, followed by a quick wedding, the birth of Kevin, then a divorce. As facts and details surfaced, Gary had been cheating on her, even when they were dating. He had been so confident of his status, he took cell phone pictures of Kevin, as the baby was leaving Hallie’s birth canal, and emailed them to his girlfriend, another army officer. What a bastard.

The day she finally left Gary, Hallie needed a safe place to hide. He had beaten her before, and she was smart enough to stay away from her parents’ house, which would be the first place he’d look.
When she came to my door, I took Kevin from her, and carried the sleeping boy to my extra bedroom, which was closest to the living room.
