Friday
David and Bert left the office early that morning to follow up on some cases the agency was working on. Maddie was glad that David would be out of the office for most of the day since she had a mountain of paperwork that she had been avoiding to muddle through; and him so close by in the office and never knowing when he would pop in kept her on pins and needles and unable to concentrate on her work. Now that he was out she could plow through the ledgers and files without any diversion from that green eyed devil. She sighed as she purposely pushed all thoughts of David out of her mind and got down to work.
Maddie was still working on the ledger accounts when David swept into her office like a gust of wind and immediately flopped into the chair in front of her desk. Her eyes flew to the clock, she couldn’t believe it was almost 5 o’clock, then her eyes flew to David who with his scruffy five o’clock shadow, crooked tie with the top 2 buttons of his shirt open looked too sexy for words. “David.”
“Maddie.” He repeated as he loosened his tie a little more.
“All done for the day?” Maddie asked as her eyes moved over the chest hair peeking out from his open shirt. Fighting the urge to run her fingers over his chest, she immediately raised her eyes to look into his face.
“Bert is still following up with some leads but I wanted to come back to the office to see you before I took off for the day.” David told her with his lopsided grin. “I’m gonna miss you tonight.” He admitted as his eyes searched hers.
“Sure you will.” She raised a skeptical eyebrow. Yeah sure he probably couldn’t wait to get fallen down drunk and raise hell like he used to, Maddie inwardly fretted but she didn’t want David to see that she was upset. She would find something fun to do that night and not think of David at all. Yeah right. “Well, have fun at the party.” She forced out with a fake smile covering her face.
He laughed. David knew that Maddie’s smile was fake but he didn’t want to argue with her so he just nodded. “So guess I’ll see in the morning.”
Maddie’s head snapped back. “The morning?” Wasn’t he going to come by after the party? She didn’t like the sound of this at all.
David saw the look in Maddie’s eyes and was momentarily confused. Did she want him to come by after the party? He would have thought that she would cherish a night away from him. Maybe she was more into him than he realized. Of course, he was happy that she was going to miss him but David didn’t think it was such a good idea if he promised to drop by her place after the party since he didn’t know what time he’d be home or how drunk he’d be. His mind raced on how to get out of this without a fight. “I don’t know what time I’ll be home babe.” He smiled warily. “And I wouldn’t want to interrupt your beauty sleep.” He fibbed.
“Really?” Her voice was coated with annoyance, “since when do you worry about keeping me up at night?” She waved at him as she stood up, “unless you don’t plan on going home at all.” Her eyes were two cold stones glaring at him.
David shrugged making Maddie’s pique escalate. “I’m sure I’ll drag myself home sometime during the night.” He scratched his head. “And I’d think you’d be happy with a night away from me.” Green eyes bore into her.
Maddie felt cornered so she didn’t answer; she turned her face away from him so he couldn’t see the need in her eyes.
David figured Maddie didn’t want to admit she was going to miss him; she really was a piece of work. He looked at Maddie with questioning eyes. “What’s the big deal anyway? I’m just gonna be with the guys.”
She turned to look at him again. “Where there are single guys there are single girls.” Maddie prophesied with a hint of anger in her eyes.
“Am I single?” David wanted to hear what she had to say.
“You know what I mean.” She insisted.
David hesitated then shook his head. “Actually I don’t.” David perched on the edge of her desk next to her.
Maddie wasn’t sure what he was getting at but her heart began to pound harder in her chest. “Don’t?”
“Don’t.” David stated firmly trying to catch her eyes. “I do know that you don’t like the idea of me with another woman,” he waved his hand around to emphasize his point, “and I know damn straight that I don’t like the idea of you with any other man.” He admitted truthfully. This was a huge step for David to divulge. His eyes bore into hers intently.
Maddie nodded. “I don’t like to share.” She sat back in her chair; the way David’s eyes were staring at her was making her feel weak.
David tilted his head and widened his eyes. “Is that the only reason that you don’t want me to be with another woman? Cause you don’t like to share?” That wasn’t enough for him.
She hedged. “Why don’t you want me with another man?” Answer David please then I’ll tell you that the idea of you even looking at another woman makes me physically ill and wild with jealousy.
“I don’t like to share either.” Two can play the same game. A smirk ran up his face. “Even when I was a kid I didn’t want anybody else to play with my toys.” David could have bitten those words back when he saw the hurt on Maddie’s face.
“Oh so I’m just one of your toys?” Maddie fumed fighting not to claw out his eyes. At that moment she hated him!
“I didn’t mean it like that!” David told her forcefully. “Stop putting words in my mouth Maddie.”
“I’m not just a doll that you can play with David.” Maddie’s voice shook with anger and hurt.
“Oh but I so love playing with you.” Foot in mouth again? Good job Dave. He mentally scolded himself.
If looks could kill David would have been dead on the floor. “Get out!” Maddie shot out of her seat and pointed at her office door. “Now! Leave!”
“I’m kidding!” David who was still perched on the side of her desk almost fell over when Maddie leapt out of her seat. “Calm down babe.” David tried to appease Maddie but just that tone in his voice fueled her anger. He grabbed her elbow to keep her from fleeing from the other side of her desk.
Maddie tried to pull her arm out of David’s grip but he was holding on too tight and the idea of dislocating her shoulder was not in her plans. “Let me go Addison!” She demanded as her eyes flashed blue bolts of lightning at him.
“Maddie. Maddie. Maddie.” He pulled her on his lap and whispered in her ear. “The idea of another man playing with you or even looking at you makes me crazy honey.” He admitted as he held her firmly in place on his lap. He ran his hands over her body. “This is mine.” And then he put the palm of his hand over her heart. “And I hope this is mine too.” He kissed her ear. “Tell me its not and break my heart.” He teased trying to lighten the mood which was getting too serious too fast for David.
Maddie felt her some of her anger evaporate with David’s words; she only hoped that what he had just told her was true and not a snow job from the jive talking David Addison she had first met but she was still hurt from his careless words. Did he just consider her a playmate? And she suddenly realized that he had implied that her heart belonged to him while once again remaining mum on his true feelings for her! That man! “Let go of me Addison!”
The hurt in her eyes was still apparent to David. He had just being fooling with her but hadn’t he learned in the past that most of the time Maddie couldn’t take a joke? And he admitted to himself that it wasn’t the best thing he could have said to the woman he loved. Inwardly he sighed; he didn’t want to leave on bad terms tonight. David looked at Maddie seriously then he placed her hand over his heart. “I hope you’re not playing with this.” But David couldn’t help his next words, he put her other hand on his dick, “this is the only thing I want you playing with.” He smirked.
Maddie wanted to cry; he just couldn’t leave it nice. Typical Addison bullshit. Since David had released his grip on her, Maddie was able to escape from his clutches. She was heading toward the door but David beat her to it and leaned against it blocking her from leaving. He ran his hand through his hair then shook his head. “Rewind the last 5 minutes of your life.” He proposed with a solemn look covering his handsome face. “I’m sorry. I was a jerk.”
Maddie folded her arms on her chest as she gazed at him waiting to see what other gems would pour from his mouth this evening. “Well that’s par for the course.” She tossed at him.
David didn’t like her reply but figured she was just angry so he ignored it and continued his apology. “Let’s not fight Maddie.” He implored. “Sometimes I just talk and don’t even realize what I said until the words leave my mouth.” He shrugged, “please forgive me honey.”
Maddie shrugged as David pulled her against him. “I don’t know Addison.” He was already forgiven but she didn’t want to make it too easy for him.
“Please.” David begged tilting his head to the side and putting on his little boy face. He kissed the side of her mouth, her nose, her forehead then his lips moved to the other side of her mouth; between kisses he was purring to her – “you are so beautiful” (kiss), “I’m wild about you baby.” (kiss), “please don’t me mad. I hate when you’re mad at me.” (kiss) “Forgive me honey.” and finally a long, slow kiss, “God I want you all the time.” His voice was liquid honey.
Maddie felt like a spineless jellyfish as she succumbed to David’s kisses and began to kiss him back. “Let me make love to you honey. I want to make you come before I go.” David purred in her ear as his hands ran over her shapely body.
With great effort, Maddie pulled away and shook her head; even though she ached for David she didn’t want to let him have his way before she left for his party. She couldn’t let him think that she was his whenever he wanted her – which was unfortunately the truth she thought unhappily. “Not now David.” She pulled away as she walked around her desk and sat back down, “I have to finish this,” she waved her hand at the papers on her desk, “before I can enjoy the weekend.”
David reluctantly turned to leave. “Ok babe. See ya later.” He smiled as he opened the door, threw her a two finger kiss then closed the door softly behind him. Maddie leaned back in her chair and stared at the closed door with a scowl covering her face.
An hour later as Maddie was finally leaving the office she was surprised to see Agnes at her desk puttering around. “Agnes,” Maddie looked at her watch, “it’s past 6’oclock. Why aren’t you out with Bert tonight?” Maddie was happy that Agnes’ relationship with Bert Viola seemed to be working out, she remembered how the short man tried to resist Agnes in the beginning when the quirky receptionist had come on too strong.
Agnes shook her head. “Bert is working late tonight Miss Hayes.”
“Oh yes Agnes. David told me I forgot.”
Agnes nodded making her earrings tinkle. “How come you’re not with Mr. Addison?”
“David has a party, a birthday party for his friend.” She shook her head. “All boys.”
“I think you’re going to miss Mr. Addison.” Agnes nodded. “Like I miss my love bunny.” She sighed unhappily.
Maddie had an idea. She didn’t cherish the idea of spending the night in her empty house alone and Agnes was lonely without Bert…”Agnes how would you like to go out to dinner?’
“That sounds great great!” Agnes’ eyes widened. “Oh Miss Hayes with who?”
Maddie laughed. “With me.”
Agnes was excited. “Oh I’d love that! It’ll be so much fun!”

David took a cab to the bar where he was meeting his buddies. When he walked in he was a little annoyed to see his friends surrounded by a bevy of sexy babes; even though most of the guys had wives or girlfriends all of them seemed to be interacting with one of the girls. David knew that Bill had been a player but he thought he had settled down over the last couple of years since he had met his girlfriend Gina.
Bill spotted David and waved him over eagerly. “Yo Dave! Come over and meet our new friends.” David didn’t know how long the others had been at the bar but he could see that Bill was already three sheets to the wind but hey it was his birthday so who was he to judge he thought as he approached the happy group.
“Happy Birthday man!” David pounded Bill on the back. “Looks like you’ve been doing some celebrating already.”
Bill nodded to Mack, “yeah me and the Big Mac got started on my party early.” Bill leered at the girls were giggling and dancing to the beat of the music. A few weeks ago David would have been happy to be surrounded by hot babes but now he wasn’t interested in any other woman but the complicated blonde who was driving him crazy.
David noticed that the other attached guys looked nervous and uncomfortable as the girls shimmied around them. Pete who was married with two little girls actually scolded a curvy brunette for repeatedly banging into him. Bill and Mack sneered at Pete. “Guess you left your balls at home with the little woman Petey boy.” Mack jeered as Bill laughed.
Pete looked at Bill and Mack with disgust. “Maybe I should just go home.”
Bill jumped off the bar stool he had been sitting on, nearly dumping the blonde on his lap on the floor, and went over to Pete. “Come on.” He joked putting his arm around Bill’s shoulder, “I was just kiddin ya. Let’s have fun. It’s my birthday!” Bill pumped his fist in the air and screamed out a yell. “Party on! Drink up boys!” He winked at the giggling girls, “and ladies.” Most of the men didn’t realize that Mack was taking pictures of their antics during the birthday bash.
David was feeling no pain as the night wore on. He had successfully cocooned himself with the other guys who weren’t interested in the girls that had joined the party. Pete, Dan and Mike were a bit peeved at Bill and Mack; they expected to have a night of drinking but weren’t into cheating on their wives or girlfriends but Bill and Mack didn’t seem to care – at all. But the liquor and the music took away the edge of the men’s disdain as they began to get plastered. And when Mack took out a huge plastic fake penis David laughingly placed it on his crotch area; he was hysterical when one of the blondes in the group kneeled in front of him and pretended she was giving him a blow job as the others cheered her on. David played along pushing the fake dick in her face as he moved his hips as if she was actually blowing him. The other guys were egging him on jokingly so David put his hand on the girls head and pushed it against his crotch and the fake dick. “Suck it!” He commanded then doubled up in laughter as the girl tried to pull down the zipper of his jeans. “No no lady. There’ll be none of that.” He snickered as he pushed her away from him. “Only one chick sucks the Big D now. Sorry honey.” He managed through drunken giggles as Mack pushed the fake dick in the face of the girl he had just been humping against the wall. Everyone was getting very silly and very wasted.
David thought it might be time to leave when the girl who had just tried to pull down his zipper began to shake her many assets in his face as she danced to the beat of the music blasting over the speakers. Drunkenly he pushed her away and went looking for his friends. A few minutes later after scanning the bar through bleary eyes he could see that Pete and the other guys weren’t around, Bill was passed out face down on the table and Mack was waving goodbye as he walked out the door with his arm around the zipper grabber.
A strong wave of disgust ran over David. Why the hell was he here when he could have been home with Maddie? He looked at Bill who was now moaning and trying to sit up. “I don’t feel so good.” Bill mumbled as he ran to the men’s room with his head in his hands. When Bill came out of the bathroom a few minutes later looking deathly pale he looked at David with a sheepish expression covering his face. “I feel bad. Gonna call Gina to get me.”
David looked at his friend crossly. “Really? After fooling around with some bimbo now you want your girlfriend to rescue you?” He shook his head.
Bill’s face turned whiter. “Hey it was just for fun. I didn’t screw her or anything.” He murmured as he headed once again to the men’s room.
Bill’s girlfriend Gina didn’t seem to mind being woken up at almost 2am to pick up her errant boyfriend. With David’s help she got Bill in the back of the car where he lay on the seat moaning and groaning and covered in an old blanket. Gina offered David a ride home which he accepted. They pulled up in front of Maddie’s house a little before 2:30 and although David was still drunk he had sobered up a little on the ride home. He made sure that Gina was ok with getting Bill home and she told him unhappily that she had experience in getting a drunk Bill up to their place. Thanking Gina with a kiss on her cheek and thinking how stupid Bill was to risk losing a good woman like Gina, David trudged up to Maddie’s front door.

Maddie and Agnes went to dinner at a small Italian bistro on Melrose Avenue which served great food and better drinks. Trying to push the idea of a drunken David having a wild time out of her mind Maddie ordered a wine spritzer to calm her frazzled nerves. All she could see was the hungover Davids from the past - leftover from wild nights and uninhibited weekends. The thought of David flirting or dancing with other women made her heart hurt but she didn’t want Agnes to notice that anything was bothering her so she tried to smile and have a good time. Agnes was fun and quirky and made Maddie laugh with her stories.
Agnes was waiting for an opening; she didn’t want to seem nosy but she wanted to know how things were going between her two hard headed bosses. And although Maddie was trying to hide her angst Agnes knew her well enough to know that something was bothering her; and Agnes had a suspicion that Mr. Addison partying without her was what was on her mind. The quirky receptionist inwardly sighed but decided to try and ease Maddie’s mind. “Miss Hayes I am so happy that you and Mr. Addison finally are a couple!” She clapped her hands together in glee. “I knew all along that you two were meant to be together.”
“Agnes when we’re not in the office why don’t you call me Maddie?” She suggested as she sipped her glass of wine.
“Sure Miss…I mean Maddie!” Agnes beamed with joy.
Maddie looked at the other woman closely. “Why were you so sure that David and I are meant to be together?” She shook her head. “Sometimes I’m not even sure of it.”
Agnes giggled as she took a long pull of her vodka martini. “Oh Miss...I mean Maddie! I’ve never seen a man look at a woman the way Mr. Addison looks at you.”
Waving her hand in the air Maddie replied caustically, “he looks at every woman under the age of 80.”
“Oh no Maddie!” Shaking her head emphatically to make her point, Agnes continued. “He only looks at you like that!”
Maddie was curious. “Like what? How does David look at me?”
Agnes face reddened. “Oh I am not the type to blush but the way Mr. Addison looks at you…well.” She giggled, “like he can’t wait to get his hands on you. Like you’re the only woman in the world.” She sighed. “Oh Maddie. You must see that he loves you!” She stared into Maddie’s eyes as she finished her drink. “And you love him.”
“Do I look at him the same way he looks at me?” Maddie was worried.
A loud snicker from Agnes. “Sometimes.”
Maddie put her head in her hands. “I must be a joke to the staff!” She mumbled unhappily as a red scarf of embarrassment covered her neck.
Another wild shake of her head. “Oh no Maddie! Everyone is cheering for you both! No one thinks you are a joke and truthfully…” Agnes giggled and bent her head closer to Maddie as if to reveal a secret. “The other women are jealous. Most of them wanted Mr. Addison for themselves but as soon as you showed up they knew that none of them had a chance with him.” She nodded. “He was wild about you from the first time he laid eyes on you.” She nodded again. “I know Mr. Addison for a long time and I never saw him look at a woman like he looks at you.” Agnes searched for the right words; finally they came to her. “Like you’re a treasure. His treasure.”
All the way home Maddie thought about what Agnes had told her. Could it be true? Did David cherish her? Why couldn’t she see the adoration in his eyes? Feeling happier than she had all day, Maddie took a long hot bath and hoped that David would hurry home to her. She wanted to show him how much she treasured him she thought as she put on a sexy nightgown and poured a large glass of wine. But after half a bottle of wine Maddie was no longer thinking of treasuring David; her thoughts had turned to strangling him slowly. It was after 2 am and Maddie knew that the bars closed at 2 so where the hell was he? Finally, she heard a car pull up in front of the house and out poured David. Maddie could see a woman was behind the wheel of the car and she saw red. How dare he show up at my door driven here by one of his flavors of the month?? She watched him staggering up to her door and just as he was about to ring the bell she opened the door and a drunken David stumbled into her foyer.
Maddie looked at David like he was a bug under her shoe. He smelled of liquor, cigarettes and cheap perfume and Maddie could tell that he was very drunk. “David Addison you are a disgrace!” She snapped as she stood over him with her hands on her hips.
David reached for Maddie’s hand to help him off the floor but since they weren’t available he grabbed on to her arm and pulled himself up unsteadily. He bent his head to kiss her but she pulled away quickly almost making him fall to the floor again but he held on to her arm and pulled her against him. “I missed you babe.” He whispered pushing her against the door.
Maddie easily fled from his drunken grip. “Oh really? Guess you missed me so much you had to find another woman to drive you home.” Her eyes spit fire at him.
David ran his hands through his already unruly head of hair. “Maddie I may be drunk but I’m not dumb.” He told her as he walked to her couch and flopped down onto the cushions. “If I was out banging another chick why would I come here?” He stared at Maddie with still bleary eyes. “I’d be at my place or hers.” He leaned his head back.
Maddie realized he was probably right but she still didn’t like the idea of David with any other woman. “Who is she?” She questioned as she stood over him.
“Bill’s girlfriend.” He rubbed his thumbs over his eyes. “He called her to pick him up and she gave me a ride here.” He opened his eyes and smiled up at her. “We good?” He slurred.
Maddie was annoyed that David had stayed out so late and had come home so drunk that he could barely stand. She looked down at him with a scowl but didn’t reply to his question. She wanted to tell him that she hated the idea of him carousing in bars and getting so drunk that he staggered but she didn’t want to sound like a jealous shrew.
Suddenly David noticed what Maddie was wearing – a short almost see through nightie. His eyes raked over her body making her shiver with desire but she was still angry at him. This drunken, wild David added to her fears that he would always choose a wild party over a night at home with her.
David felt his dick jerk as his hands reached out to pull her on his lap. “Damn honey it I’d known you were wearing this little number,” his hands played over the sheer lace, “I would’ve come here sooner.” He leered. “Bet your pussy was aching for me all night you horny wench.” David smirked as his fingers disappeared between her thighs.
Maddie closed her legs trapping David’s wandering hand between them. “Stop David!” She could smell the liquor, cigarettes and cheap perfume on him and it almost made her gag. She pulled away from him easily since he was very drunk and didn’t have a tight hold on her. “You smell terrible!” She stated with disgust coloring her voice. “Whose perfume do you reek of?” She fumed.
David stood up and snickered. “Relax babe.” He tried to pull her to him but she moved back causing him to stumble into her. Maddie pushed him away and he fell with a thud on the nearest chair. David’s eyes ran over her as he patted the enormous bulge in his jeans. “Come on sugar let’s fuck.” He leered drunkenly. “You know you want it.”
“I think you should just sleep on the couch tonight. I’ll go get you a pillow and blanket.” Maddie headed upstairs ignoring the crude words that were coming from David’s mouth. She knew he was drunk but when he talked to her like that it made her feel like little more than a tramp. She sighed tiredly as she ascended the stairs.
The short nightie did nothing to hide Maddie’s curvy ass as she walked up the stairs. David jumped up quickly and followed right behind her trying to get his hands on her. Maddie tried to swat him away and both landed in a heap at the top of the stairs. Maddie was offended and angry. “Get your damn hands off of me Addison!”
His hands squeezed her ass. “Come on Maddie. I want you babe. I could’ve gotten laid tonight but I came here to you.” He told her thinking drunkenly that he was giving her a compliment. “See I’m a good boy.” He snickered as his mouth covered an exposed nipple.
“I hate you!” Maddie was hurt and beyond furious now. So he was with other women tonight! And why did the idea that he came home to get laid by her not making her feel like someone he cared about but just some slut he wanted to screw? Her face was mottled with rage as she untangled herself from David and raced into her room slamming the door behind her but before she was able to lock it David flew into the room behind her.
“What’s the matter Maddie?” His alcohol soaked brain couldn’t comprehend how vile he was acting. “I want you. Only you.”
Maddie pointed to the door. “Get out. Go get laid,” she said that word as if it was a curse, “by whatever skank you were with tonight.”
David shook his head as he approached her. “I only want one skank.” He smirked, “you!”
Maddie was mortified. “Get out. I hate you and your clothes stink!”
The smirk on David’s face broadened as he threw off his clothes. He stood there totally nude playing with his huge boner. “If you wanted me to strip babe you just had to ask.” His hand moved up and down on his dick. “Don’t tell me you don’t want this? I know you do. Never had a hornier woman than you in bed.” He pushed her on the bed and stood over her with his dick almost in her face. “Kiss it baby.”
Maddie sat up, her face covered with tears and her eyes filled with hurt. Something in her expression must have gotten through to David’s inebriated brain and suddenly he sat on the foot of the bed forlornly. “Oh God babe. I didn’t mean…” Suddenly he turned green, “I don’t feel so well.” He mumbled as fell back on the bed and passed out as soon as his head hit the mattress.
Maddie climbed out of bed and stood staring down at David who was snoring loudly in his inebriated sleep. With all her strength Maddie managed to roll David up on the bed so he wouldn’t fall off although she felt that if he fell off the bed it would serve him right to sleep on the floor. She then covered him with a blanket as she tossed off the sexy nightie she had been wearing and pulled a cotton nightshirt over her head.
Maddie sat in the chair opposite the bed for a few minutes just watching David and thinking. The way he had behaved that night had once again filled her head with doubts – he had come home dead drunk and reeking of another woman’s perfume and then proceeded to treat her as if she was some two bit hussy he had just picked up in a bar! The cavalier way he had tossed such crude words out at her made her feel used. Deciding that they needed to have a long talk about their relationship sometime soon Maddie finally climbed into bed next to David but sleep was hard to come by. Perhaps this wasn’t the best time to make her parents aware of this ‘thing’ between her and David since she was now unsure of David’s intentions – was she just a play thing to him? Was this just a fling to him? A chill passed over her body that even the heavy covers couldn’t alleviate. Even from the other side of the bed the heat from David’s body lured Maddie to his side and despite her hurt and anger she couldn’t help but mold her body to his to ease the coldness inside of her.
Maddie felt David stir in his sleep. “I love you Maddie.” He murmured as he wrapped his arms around her. Her head snapped up to look at him but his eyes were closed tightly. “David?” Had she heard him correctly? Maybe she had been dreaming? Maddie shook David but he only held on to her tighter never opening his eyes. “So sorry babe. I love you.” He drawled softly. Maddie immediately looked at his face but she could see he had once again fallen into a drunken slumber. Her heart beat faster as she snuggled closer to him and with the symphony of those words singing in her ears Maddie finally dozed off wrapped around David’s body.
David and Bert left the office early that morning to follow up on some cases the agency was working on. Maddie was glad that David would be out of the office for most of the day since she had a mountain of paperwork that she had been avoiding to muddle through; and him so close by in the office and never knowing when he would pop in kept her on pins and needles and unable to concentrate on her work. Now that he was out she could plow through the ledgers and files without any diversion from that green eyed devil. She sighed as she purposely pushed all thoughts of David out of her mind and got down to work.
Maddie was still working on the ledger accounts when David swept into her office like a gust of wind and immediately flopped into the chair in front of her desk. Her eyes flew to the clock, she couldn’t believe it was almost 5 o’clock, then her eyes flew to David who with his scruffy five o’clock shadow, crooked tie with the top 2 buttons of his shirt open looked too sexy for words. “David.”
“Maddie.” He repeated as he loosened his tie a little more.
“All done for the day?” Maddie asked as her eyes moved over the chest hair peeking out from his open shirt. Fighting the urge to run her fingers over his chest, she immediately raised her eyes to look into his face.
“Bert is still following up with some leads but I wanted to come back to the office to see you before I took off for the day.” David told her with his lopsided grin. “I’m gonna miss you tonight.” He admitted as his eyes searched hers.
“Sure you will.” She raised a skeptical eyebrow. Yeah sure he probably couldn’t wait to get fallen down drunk and raise hell like he used to, Maddie inwardly fretted but she didn’t want David to see that she was upset. She would find something fun to do that night and not think of David at all. Yeah right. “Well, have fun at the party.” She forced out with a fake smile covering her face.
He laughed. David knew that Maddie’s smile was fake but he didn’t want to argue with her so he just nodded. “So guess I’ll see in the morning.”
Maddie’s head snapped back. “The morning?” Wasn’t he going to come by after the party? She didn’t like the sound of this at all.
David saw the look in Maddie’s eyes and was momentarily confused. Did she want him to come by after the party? He would have thought that she would cherish a night away from him. Maybe she was more into him than he realized. Of course, he was happy that she was going to miss him but David didn’t think it was such a good idea if he promised to drop by her place after the party since he didn’t know what time he’d be home or how drunk he’d be. His mind raced on how to get out of this without a fight. “I don’t know what time I’ll be home babe.” He smiled warily. “And I wouldn’t want to interrupt your beauty sleep.” He fibbed.
“Really?” Her voice was coated with annoyance, “since when do you worry about keeping me up at night?” She waved at him as she stood up, “unless you don’t plan on going home at all.” Her eyes were two cold stones glaring at him.
David shrugged making Maddie’s pique escalate. “I’m sure I’ll drag myself home sometime during the night.” He scratched his head. “And I’d think you’d be happy with a night away from me.” Green eyes bore into her.
Maddie felt cornered so she didn’t answer; she turned her face away from him so he couldn’t see the need in her eyes.
David figured Maddie didn’t want to admit she was going to miss him; she really was a piece of work. He looked at Maddie with questioning eyes. “What’s the big deal anyway? I’m just gonna be with the guys.”
She turned to look at him again. “Where there are single guys there are single girls.” Maddie prophesied with a hint of anger in her eyes.
“Am I single?” David wanted to hear what she had to say.
“You know what I mean.” She insisted.
David hesitated then shook his head. “Actually I don’t.” David perched on the edge of her desk next to her.
Maddie wasn’t sure what he was getting at but her heart began to pound harder in her chest. “Don’t?”
“Don’t.” David stated firmly trying to catch her eyes. “I do know that you don’t like the idea of me with another woman,” he waved his hand around to emphasize his point, “and I know damn straight that I don’t like the idea of you with any other man.” He admitted truthfully. This was a huge step for David to divulge. His eyes bore into hers intently.
Maddie nodded. “I don’t like to share.” She sat back in her chair; the way David’s eyes were staring at her was making her feel weak.
David tilted his head and widened his eyes. “Is that the only reason that you don’t want me to be with another woman? Cause you don’t like to share?” That wasn’t enough for him.
She hedged. “Why don’t you want me with another man?” Answer David please then I’ll tell you that the idea of you even looking at another woman makes me physically ill and wild with jealousy.
“I don’t like to share either.” Two can play the same game. A smirk ran up his face. “Even when I was a kid I didn’t want anybody else to play with my toys.” David could have bitten those words back when he saw the hurt on Maddie’s face.
“Oh so I’m just one of your toys?” Maddie fumed fighting not to claw out his eyes. At that moment she hated him!
“I didn’t mean it like that!” David told her forcefully. “Stop putting words in my mouth Maddie.”
“I’m not just a doll that you can play with David.” Maddie’s voice shook with anger and hurt.
“Oh but I so love playing with you.” Foot in mouth again? Good job Dave. He mentally scolded himself.
If looks could kill David would have been dead on the floor. “Get out!” Maddie shot out of her seat and pointed at her office door. “Now! Leave!”
“I’m kidding!” David who was still perched on the side of her desk almost fell over when Maddie leapt out of her seat. “Calm down babe.” David tried to appease Maddie but just that tone in his voice fueled her anger. He grabbed her elbow to keep her from fleeing from the other side of her desk.
Maddie tried to pull her arm out of David’s grip but he was holding on too tight and the idea of dislocating her shoulder was not in her plans. “Let me go Addison!” She demanded as her eyes flashed blue bolts of lightning at him.
“Maddie. Maddie. Maddie.” He pulled her on his lap and whispered in her ear. “The idea of another man playing with you or even looking at you makes me crazy honey.” He admitted as he held her firmly in place on his lap. He ran his hands over her body. “This is mine.” And then he put the palm of his hand over her heart. “And I hope this is mine too.” He kissed her ear. “Tell me its not and break my heart.” He teased trying to lighten the mood which was getting too serious too fast for David.
Maddie felt her some of her anger evaporate with David’s words; she only hoped that what he had just told her was true and not a snow job from the jive talking David Addison she had first met but she was still hurt from his careless words. Did he just consider her a playmate? And she suddenly realized that he had implied that her heart belonged to him while once again remaining mum on his true feelings for her! That man! “Let go of me Addison!”
The hurt in her eyes was still apparent to David. He had just being fooling with her but hadn’t he learned in the past that most of the time Maddie couldn’t take a joke? And he admitted to himself that it wasn’t the best thing he could have said to the woman he loved. Inwardly he sighed; he didn’t want to leave on bad terms tonight. David looked at Maddie seriously then he placed her hand over his heart. “I hope you’re not playing with this.” But David couldn’t help his next words, he put her other hand on his dick, “this is the only thing I want you playing with.” He smirked.
Maddie wanted to cry; he just couldn’t leave it nice. Typical Addison bullshit. Since David had released his grip on her, Maddie was able to escape from his clutches. She was heading toward the door but David beat her to it and leaned against it blocking her from leaving. He ran his hand through his hair then shook his head. “Rewind the last 5 minutes of your life.” He proposed with a solemn look covering his handsome face. “I’m sorry. I was a jerk.”
Maddie folded her arms on her chest as she gazed at him waiting to see what other gems would pour from his mouth this evening. “Well that’s par for the course.” She tossed at him.
David didn’t like her reply but figured she was just angry so he ignored it and continued his apology. “Let’s not fight Maddie.” He implored. “Sometimes I just talk and don’t even realize what I said until the words leave my mouth.” He shrugged, “please forgive me honey.”
Maddie shrugged as David pulled her against him. “I don’t know Addison.” He was already forgiven but she didn’t want to make it too easy for him.
“Please.” David begged tilting his head to the side and putting on his little boy face. He kissed the side of her mouth, her nose, her forehead then his lips moved to the other side of her mouth; between kisses he was purring to her – “you are so beautiful” (kiss), “I’m wild about you baby.” (kiss), “please don’t me mad. I hate when you’re mad at me.” (kiss) “Forgive me honey.” and finally a long, slow kiss, “God I want you all the time.” His voice was liquid honey.
Maddie felt like a spineless jellyfish as she succumbed to David’s kisses and began to kiss him back. “Let me make love to you honey. I want to make you come before I go.” David purred in her ear as his hands ran over her shapely body.
With great effort, Maddie pulled away and shook her head; even though she ached for David she didn’t want to let him have his way before she left for his party. She couldn’t let him think that she was his whenever he wanted her – which was unfortunately the truth she thought unhappily. “Not now David.” She pulled away as she walked around her desk and sat back down, “I have to finish this,” she waved her hand at the papers on her desk, “before I can enjoy the weekend.”
David reluctantly turned to leave. “Ok babe. See ya later.” He smiled as he opened the door, threw her a two finger kiss then closed the door softly behind him. Maddie leaned back in her chair and stared at the closed door with a scowl covering her face.
An hour later as Maddie was finally leaving the office she was surprised to see Agnes at her desk puttering around. “Agnes,” Maddie looked at her watch, “it’s past 6’oclock. Why aren’t you out with Bert tonight?” Maddie was happy that Agnes’ relationship with Bert Viola seemed to be working out, she remembered how the short man tried to resist Agnes in the beginning when the quirky receptionist had come on too strong.
Agnes shook her head. “Bert is working late tonight Miss Hayes.”
“Oh yes Agnes. David told me I forgot.”
Agnes nodded making her earrings tinkle. “How come you’re not with Mr. Addison?”
“David has a party, a birthday party for his friend.” She shook her head. “All boys.”
“I think you’re going to miss Mr. Addison.” Agnes nodded. “Like I miss my love bunny.” She sighed unhappily.
Maddie had an idea. She didn’t cherish the idea of spending the night in her empty house alone and Agnes was lonely without Bert…”Agnes how would you like to go out to dinner?’
“That sounds great great!” Agnes’ eyes widened. “Oh Miss Hayes with who?”
Maddie laughed. “With me.”
Agnes was excited. “Oh I’d love that! It’ll be so much fun!”

David took a cab to the bar where he was meeting his buddies. When he walked in he was a little annoyed to see his friends surrounded by a bevy of sexy babes; even though most of the guys had wives or girlfriends all of them seemed to be interacting with one of the girls. David knew that Bill had been a player but he thought he had settled down over the last couple of years since he had met his girlfriend Gina.
Bill spotted David and waved him over eagerly. “Yo Dave! Come over and meet our new friends.” David didn’t know how long the others had been at the bar but he could see that Bill was already three sheets to the wind but hey it was his birthday so who was he to judge he thought as he approached the happy group.
“Happy Birthday man!” David pounded Bill on the back. “Looks like you’ve been doing some celebrating already.”
Bill nodded to Mack, “yeah me and the Big Mac got started on my party early.” Bill leered at the girls were giggling and dancing to the beat of the music. A few weeks ago David would have been happy to be surrounded by hot babes but now he wasn’t interested in any other woman but the complicated blonde who was driving him crazy.
David noticed that the other attached guys looked nervous and uncomfortable as the girls shimmied around them. Pete who was married with two little girls actually scolded a curvy brunette for repeatedly banging into him. Bill and Mack sneered at Pete. “Guess you left your balls at home with the little woman Petey boy.” Mack jeered as Bill laughed.
Pete looked at Bill and Mack with disgust. “Maybe I should just go home.”
Bill jumped off the bar stool he had been sitting on, nearly dumping the blonde on his lap on the floor, and went over to Pete. “Come on.” He joked putting his arm around Bill’s shoulder, “I was just kiddin ya. Let’s have fun. It’s my birthday!” Bill pumped his fist in the air and screamed out a yell. “Party on! Drink up boys!” He winked at the giggling girls, “and ladies.” Most of the men didn’t realize that Mack was taking pictures of their antics during the birthday bash.
David was feeling no pain as the night wore on. He had successfully cocooned himself with the other guys who weren’t interested in the girls that had joined the party. Pete, Dan and Mike were a bit peeved at Bill and Mack; they expected to have a night of drinking but weren’t into cheating on their wives or girlfriends but Bill and Mack didn’t seem to care – at all. But the liquor and the music took away the edge of the men’s disdain as they began to get plastered. And when Mack took out a huge plastic fake penis David laughingly placed it on his crotch area; he was hysterical when one of the blondes in the group kneeled in front of him and pretended she was giving him a blow job as the others cheered her on. David played along pushing the fake dick in her face as he moved his hips as if she was actually blowing him. The other guys were egging him on jokingly so David put his hand on the girls head and pushed it against his crotch and the fake dick. “Suck it!” He commanded then doubled up in laughter as the girl tried to pull down the zipper of his jeans. “No no lady. There’ll be none of that.” He snickered as he pushed her away from him. “Only one chick sucks the Big D now. Sorry honey.” He managed through drunken giggles as Mack pushed the fake dick in the face of the girl he had just been humping against the wall. Everyone was getting very silly and very wasted.
David thought it might be time to leave when the girl who had just tried to pull down his zipper began to shake her many assets in his face as she danced to the beat of the music blasting over the speakers. Drunkenly he pushed her away and went looking for his friends. A few minutes later after scanning the bar through bleary eyes he could see that Pete and the other guys weren’t around, Bill was passed out face down on the table and Mack was waving goodbye as he walked out the door with his arm around the zipper grabber.
A strong wave of disgust ran over David. Why the hell was he here when he could have been home with Maddie? He looked at Bill who was now moaning and trying to sit up. “I don’t feel so good.” Bill mumbled as he ran to the men’s room with his head in his hands. When Bill came out of the bathroom a few minutes later looking deathly pale he looked at David with a sheepish expression covering his face. “I feel bad. Gonna call Gina to get me.”
David looked at his friend crossly. “Really? After fooling around with some bimbo now you want your girlfriend to rescue you?” He shook his head.
Bill’s face turned whiter. “Hey it was just for fun. I didn’t screw her or anything.” He murmured as he headed once again to the men’s room.
Bill’s girlfriend Gina didn’t seem to mind being woken up at almost 2am to pick up her errant boyfriend. With David’s help she got Bill in the back of the car where he lay on the seat moaning and groaning and covered in an old blanket. Gina offered David a ride home which he accepted. They pulled up in front of Maddie’s house a little before 2:30 and although David was still drunk he had sobered up a little on the ride home. He made sure that Gina was ok with getting Bill home and she told him unhappily that she had experience in getting a drunk Bill up to their place. Thanking Gina with a kiss on her cheek and thinking how stupid Bill was to risk losing a good woman like Gina, David trudged up to Maddie’s front door.

Maddie and Agnes went to dinner at a small Italian bistro on Melrose Avenue which served great food and better drinks. Trying to push the idea of a drunken David having a wild time out of her mind Maddie ordered a wine spritzer to calm her frazzled nerves. All she could see was the hungover Davids from the past - leftover from wild nights and uninhibited weekends. The thought of David flirting or dancing with other women made her heart hurt but she didn’t want Agnes to notice that anything was bothering her so she tried to smile and have a good time. Agnes was fun and quirky and made Maddie laugh with her stories.
Agnes was waiting for an opening; she didn’t want to seem nosy but she wanted to know how things were going between her two hard headed bosses. And although Maddie was trying to hide her angst Agnes knew her well enough to know that something was bothering her; and Agnes had a suspicion that Mr. Addison partying without her was what was on her mind. The quirky receptionist inwardly sighed but decided to try and ease Maddie’s mind. “Miss Hayes I am so happy that you and Mr. Addison finally are a couple!” She clapped her hands together in glee. “I knew all along that you two were meant to be together.”
“Agnes when we’re not in the office why don’t you call me Maddie?” She suggested as she sipped her glass of wine.
“Sure Miss…I mean Maddie!” Agnes beamed with joy.
Maddie looked at the other woman closely. “Why were you so sure that David and I are meant to be together?” She shook her head. “Sometimes I’m not even sure of it.”
Agnes giggled as she took a long pull of her vodka martini. “Oh Miss...I mean Maddie! I’ve never seen a man look at a woman the way Mr. Addison looks at you.”
Waving her hand in the air Maddie replied caustically, “he looks at every woman under the age of 80.”
“Oh no Maddie!” Shaking her head emphatically to make her point, Agnes continued. “He only looks at you like that!”
Maddie was curious. “Like what? How does David look at me?”
Agnes face reddened. “Oh I am not the type to blush but the way Mr. Addison looks at you…well.” She giggled, “like he can’t wait to get his hands on you. Like you’re the only woman in the world.” She sighed. “Oh Maddie. You must see that he loves you!” She stared into Maddie’s eyes as she finished her drink. “And you love him.”
“Do I look at him the same way he looks at me?” Maddie was worried.
A loud snicker from Agnes. “Sometimes.”
Maddie put her head in her hands. “I must be a joke to the staff!” She mumbled unhappily as a red scarf of embarrassment covered her neck.
Another wild shake of her head. “Oh no Maddie! Everyone is cheering for you both! No one thinks you are a joke and truthfully…” Agnes giggled and bent her head closer to Maddie as if to reveal a secret. “The other women are jealous. Most of them wanted Mr. Addison for themselves but as soon as you showed up they knew that none of them had a chance with him.” She nodded. “He was wild about you from the first time he laid eyes on you.” She nodded again. “I know Mr. Addison for a long time and I never saw him look at a woman like he looks at you.” Agnes searched for the right words; finally they came to her. “Like you’re a treasure. His treasure.”
All the way home Maddie thought about what Agnes had told her. Could it be true? Did David cherish her? Why couldn’t she see the adoration in his eyes? Feeling happier than she had all day, Maddie took a long hot bath and hoped that David would hurry home to her. She wanted to show him how much she treasured him she thought as she put on a sexy nightgown and poured a large glass of wine. But after half a bottle of wine Maddie was no longer thinking of treasuring David; her thoughts had turned to strangling him slowly. It was after 2 am and Maddie knew that the bars closed at 2 so where the hell was he? Finally, she heard a car pull up in front of the house and out poured David. Maddie could see a woman was behind the wheel of the car and she saw red. How dare he show up at my door driven here by one of his flavors of the month?? She watched him staggering up to her door and just as he was about to ring the bell she opened the door and a drunken David stumbled into her foyer.
Maddie looked at David like he was a bug under her shoe. He smelled of liquor, cigarettes and cheap perfume and Maddie could tell that he was very drunk. “David Addison you are a disgrace!” She snapped as she stood over him with her hands on her hips.
David reached for Maddie’s hand to help him off the floor but since they weren’t available he grabbed on to her arm and pulled himself up unsteadily. He bent his head to kiss her but she pulled away quickly almost making him fall to the floor again but he held on to her arm and pulled her against him. “I missed you babe.” He whispered pushing her against the door.
Maddie easily fled from his drunken grip. “Oh really? Guess you missed me so much you had to find another woman to drive you home.” Her eyes spit fire at him.
David ran his hands through his already unruly head of hair. “Maddie I may be drunk but I’m not dumb.” He told her as he walked to her couch and flopped down onto the cushions. “If I was out banging another chick why would I come here?” He stared at Maddie with still bleary eyes. “I’d be at my place or hers.” He leaned his head back.
Maddie realized he was probably right but she still didn’t like the idea of David with any other woman. “Who is she?” She questioned as she stood over him.
“Bill’s girlfriend.” He rubbed his thumbs over his eyes. “He called her to pick him up and she gave me a ride here.” He opened his eyes and smiled up at her. “We good?” He slurred.
Maddie was annoyed that David had stayed out so late and had come home so drunk that he could barely stand. She looked down at him with a scowl but didn’t reply to his question. She wanted to tell him that she hated the idea of him carousing in bars and getting so drunk that he staggered but she didn’t want to sound like a jealous shrew.
Suddenly David noticed what Maddie was wearing – a short almost see through nightie. His eyes raked over her body making her shiver with desire but she was still angry at him. This drunken, wild David added to her fears that he would always choose a wild party over a night at home with her.
David felt his dick jerk as his hands reached out to pull her on his lap. “Damn honey it I’d known you were wearing this little number,” his hands played over the sheer lace, “I would’ve come here sooner.” He leered. “Bet your pussy was aching for me all night you horny wench.” David smirked as his fingers disappeared between her thighs.
Maddie closed her legs trapping David’s wandering hand between them. “Stop David!” She could smell the liquor, cigarettes and cheap perfume on him and it almost made her gag. She pulled away from him easily since he was very drunk and didn’t have a tight hold on her. “You smell terrible!” She stated with disgust coloring her voice. “Whose perfume do you reek of?” She fumed.
David stood up and snickered. “Relax babe.” He tried to pull her to him but she moved back causing him to stumble into her. Maddie pushed him away and he fell with a thud on the nearest chair. David’s eyes ran over her as he patted the enormous bulge in his jeans. “Come on sugar let’s fuck.” He leered drunkenly. “You know you want it.”
“I think you should just sleep on the couch tonight. I’ll go get you a pillow and blanket.” Maddie headed upstairs ignoring the crude words that were coming from David’s mouth. She knew he was drunk but when he talked to her like that it made her feel like little more than a tramp. She sighed tiredly as she ascended the stairs.
The short nightie did nothing to hide Maddie’s curvy ass as she walked up the stairs. David jumped up quickly and followed right behind her trying to get his hands on her. Maddie tried to swat him away and both landed in a heap at the top of the stairs. Maddie was offended and angry. “Get your damn hands off of me Addison!”
His hands squeezed her ass. “Come on Maddie. I want you babe. I could’ve gotten laid tonight but I came here to you.” He told her thinking drunkenly that he was giving her a compliment. “See I’m a good boy.” He snickered as his mouth covered an exposed nipple.
“I hate you!” Maddie was hurt and beyond furious now. So he was with other women tonight! And why did the idea that he came home to get laid by her not making her feel like someone he cared about but just some slut he wanted to screw? Her face was mottled with rage as she untangled herself from David and raced into her room slamming the door behind her but before she was able to lock it David flew into the room behind her.
“What’s the matter Maddie?” His alcohol soaked brain couldn’t comprehend how vile he was acting. “I want you. Only you.”
Maddie pointed to the door. “Get out. Go get laid,” she said that word as if it was a curse, “by whatever skank you were with tonight.”
David shook his head as he approached her. “I only want one skank.” He smirked, “you!”
Maddie was mortified. “Get out. I hate you and your clothes stink!”
The smirk on David’s face broadened as he threw off his clothes. He stood there totally nude playing with his huge boner. “If you wanted me to strip babe you just had to ask.” His hand moved up and down on his dick. “Don’t tell me you don’t want this? I know you do. Never had a hornier woman than you in bed.” He pushed her on the bed and stood over her with his dick almost in her face. “Kiss it baby.”
Maddie sat up, her face covered with tears and her eyes filled with hurt. Something in her expression must have gotten through to David’s inebriated brain and suddenly he sat on the foot of the bed forlornly. “Oh God babe. I didn’t mean…” Suddenly he turned green, “I don’t feel so well.” He mumbled as fell back on the bed and passed out as soon as his head hit the mattress.
Maddie climbed out of bed and stood staring down at David who was snoring loudly in his inebriated sleep. With all her strength Maddie managed to roll David up on the bed so he wouldn’t fall off although she felt that if he fell off the bed it would serve him right to sleep on the floor. She then covered him with a blanket as she tossed off the sexy nightie she had been wearing and pulled a cotton nightshirt over her head.
Maddie sat in the chair opposite the bed for a few minutes just watching David and thinking. The way he had behaved that night had once again filled her head with doubts – he had come home dead drunk and reeking of another woman’s perfume and then proceeded to treat her as if she was some two bit hussy he had just picked up in a bar! The cavalier way he had tossed such crude words out at her made her feel used. Deciding that they needed to have a long talk about their relationship sometime soon Maddie finally climbed into bed next to David but sleep was hard to come by. Perhaps this wasn’t the best time to make her parents aware of this ‘thing’ between her and David since she was now unsure of David’s intentions – was she just a play thing to him? Was this just a fling to him? A chill passed over her body that even the heavy covers couldn’t alleviate. Even from the other side of the bed the heat from David’s body lured Maddie to his side and despite her hurt and anger she couldn’t help but mold her body to his to ease the coldness inside of her.
Maddie felt David stir in his sleep. “I love you Maddie.” He murmured as he wrapped his arms around her. Her head snapped up to look at him but his eyes were closed tightly. “David?” Had she heard him correctly? Maybe she had been dreaming? Maddie shook David but he only held on to her tighter never opening his eyes. “So sorry babe. I love you.” He drawled softly. Maddie immediately looked at his face but she could see he had once again fallen into a drunken slumber. Her heart beat faster as she snuggled closer to him and with the symphony of those words singing in her ears Maddie finally dozed off wrapped around David’s body.
