Five Finger Folly (603 views)

Hallie usually didn’t have to handle the stocking and inventory – she was so social and extroverted that her managers loved to put her on cashier. She was a customer favorite and was easy to talk to so she wound up making customers feel more at ease. But today she’d been put on inventory duties, which was so boring. No one really accounted for everything here unless it was really expensive. She knew from the numbers that little things had to keep going missing but that was security’s problem. Her managers were smart enough to not blame her for an inventory that went missing, knowing that would just motivate her to lie about the numbers.

Hallie walked around the supermarket, clothed in her uniform – a blue shirt with an employee’s vest over it – looking at the stuff they sold. She shifted from foot to foot and wound up distracted by the perfume section as she sniffed the bottles.

A man came over not too long after and went right for the condoms. One of Hallie’s favorite things to do was to see the people who came over here for condoms. Most of the time it was shy and scared teenage boys, who’d see her and wander around absently until they thought she was gone, and then come back and get flustered by the different sizes. It was so cute! This guy seemed more bothered by the feminine hygiene products behind him, though.

Hallie remained where she was, silent, looking engrossed in the perfumes though she was watching Sylvan from the corner of her eye. She wanted to see what he’d do, which size he’d go for! Was he new at this? Maybe. She wondered if he saw her and would try to go for the magnum size just to flirt. Chad did that, occasionally.

She saw him grab a condom and then he slipped it into his pocket. That got Hallie’s brows to raise as she turned towards him, watching him walk away. No way! Hallie trotted after him, and tapped him on the shoulder.

”Excuse me, sir. Is that a stolen box of condoms in your pocket or are you just happy to see me? Though I’d be concerned if your butt is the body part that gets erect,” She asked, grinning, as she secured her hands on her hips. If he panicked and ran away from her someone else would stop him, and realize what he was doing. So she wasn’t that worried, especially since it was only a box of condoms. ”You’re supposed to put items you’re planning to buy in a cart or basket, not your pocket.”

When the guy turned around Hallie smirked, seeing the look on his face. He totally hadn’t been expecting to get caught! But, to his credit, he looked somewhat composed given the circumstance. Hallie could tell from his tone that he was going to be one of those types who tried to play this whole thing off and get her to give him some slack. She looked him over again, hummed, and tapped her finger to her chin. He was cute, sure, but she wasn’t sure if she thought he was cute enough for getting out of a ticket! She wondered if he’d just fish out the few dollars for the stolen goods and say he was planning to pay all along. She wouldn’t be surprised.

”Well you kind of need a cart for that. Otherwise that’s known as stealing, Mr. Suave,” Hallie said, teasingly. She drummed her walkie-talkie clipped to her vest threateningly, very much debating paging her manager, until she heard his next sentence (which saved him from her decision).

”Jasleen! Oh, boy, how do you know Jasleen?” she laughed when he tried to butter her up and took a step towards him. The camera in the section of the store was faulty – no one was supposed to know except for employees – so she could get away with this flirting without repercussion. She tutted at his comment and raised a brow. ”In a work uniform with my hair pulled back? Please, you are so trying to butter me up. You’re gonna have to do better than that to convince me not to page my manager.”

Hallie listened to Sylvan as he talked about Jas with interest. She could believe him... or she could doubt him. He could just be friends with Jas on facebook (the three girls had a huge group of facebook friends) and he could have just seen the pictures. This could all just be some scheme to get Hallie to get him off the hook. But she thought, he didn’t look sneaky enough for that. His eyes weren’t shifting, he was holding both his stolen goods out in front of him. And besides, how would he know all of this if he hadn’t been expecting to run into her again. She hummed.

”Well, Sir, you know my name but I don’t know yours. If I asked Jas, do you think she’d actually remember you?” She challenged. Though she was amused by his humor and suave retorts she wasn’t naïve enough to be won over by his words. His compliment was welcome, but totally predictable, and she grinned. ”Oh, you think your silver tongue can get you out of trouble, do you, sir? Well, I’m used to getting compliments and you’re kidding yourself if you think I find this special.”

She plucked the artifacts from his hands, examined the lighters then the box of condoms, and smirked. ”Seems like you’re into some kinky play, too. Lighters and condoms?”

Syl... that name sounded slightly familiar. Hallie wasn’t sure if Jas had ever mentioned him recently, but there was definitely something... she’d heard that name before. She was tempted to text Jas but didn’t want to look too oblivious to this guy.

”Syl, hm? Lucky for you, Jas might have mentioned you once or twice. Nothing I’d brag about, though.” She teased, fondling the condoms and the lighters in her hands. She glanced to the side, where she saw some baskets, then over at Syl. She raised a brow, and nudged with her head, indicating to him to go and grab one. His analysis of her just made her smirk because it was true. Hallie was well-versed in the nature of flirting and sex, and the more she looked at Syl, the hotter he became. She wondered if he was into S & M at all... or if he’d mind being M. She was definitely loving feeling this in control of the situation.

”I don’t know what you’re talking about, Sir Syl, I’m clearly not as kinky as you,” She said too-innocently, ”You’ll be off the hook when I see these things in a basket. Then you can buy them... and use them later.”

Hallie grinned in response to Syl, unable to keep playing the mean cop when Syl brought up her own kinks. She wondered how hot it would be to fuck a guy in the bathroom. Probably not really. What if one of her coworkers came in? Besides that, Hallie knew the sanitation issues with the bathrooms. They were so not hot and didn’t get cleaned every day. Now, why would she want to bang somewhere like that? Though banging in public was always so hot. Hallie’s personal favorite had to be car sex.

She took a step close to Syl and dropped the lighters into the basket, but hesitated with the condoms, appraising the size before she looked back over at him. ”Are you sure you don’t want to stock up on these? Who knows when you might need more than this box comes with?”

Hallie hummed to herself and took a step towards Syl, now they were so close that if any coworkers came by, it would be suspicious. But Hallie didn’t care, it was slow today and besides, all her coworkers were on the other side of the store. She brought a hand up and tapped Syl on the shoulder, then ran her finger down his arm gripping the basket, as though admiring his grip.

”With a grip like that? I think you could probably last for a while,” Hallie said, looking at his smile. There was something dark and sinister about it... but that just made Hallie want to talk to him more. ”Okay, tell you what – how about I give you the store’s personal hotline number, and if you happen to run low on condoms, I can run you over a box? I’ll have to collect the price tag for them, though. So as your punishment for trying to steal these condoms, you’ll just have to talk to me and leave with what you got in that basket. Sound like a plan, sir?”

Hallie smirked at his question.

”Oh, but who said I wasn’t going to punish you when you call me? The kind of punishment I’m thinking of can’t really be done in a public store, you know. They frown upon what I want to do to you when I get you alone,” She said, noticing the way he bit down on his lower lip. Watching him do that made her want to bite his lips instead, but she refrained. Instead she turned around with a wink. ”You better buy those. I’ll check the surveillance tapes tonight and if I see you walking out of the store without paying I’ll definitely have to punish you.”

She grabbed a pen out of her vests’ pocket and then grabbed Syl’s hand, roughly etching her phone number into it. She then wrote her name underneath it, and grinned. ”I hope you don’t have a girlfriend to explain that to. But, if you do, she’s more than welcome to come witness your punishment.”

The rest of Hallie’s shift was boring as hell. With Syl gone she had no sketchy customers to hit on! She saw a family, directed them to the lawnmowers, but otherwise until she got off of the afternoon shift, she was totally bored.

Five O’clock finally came around and, out of curiosity, Hallie glance at the security tapes from just after Syl left. He had purchased the goods, she noticed with a smirk, but if she saw him again she so wasn’t going to tell him that. Instead she’d accuse him of stealing and then she’d have to ‘make sure’ he had the products... by giving them a test run. Or two.

She smirked to herself, fully intent to give Syl the cold shoulder until he texted her first. But to her surprise, when she exited after clocking out, she saw a sketchy looking guy smoking on the side of the building near the parking lot. Hallie quirked a brow at his cool smirk.

”Oh, you must know you’re in trouble, sir, I checked the tapes.” She said, the teasing tone back. Now she was no longer in her work vest – she’d left that inside – and was clothed in a black tee shirt and jeans. She took a step closer, plucked the cigarette from Syl’s mouth, and took a drag herself. She exhaled the smoke towards his face. ”Did you know, back in the day, thieves used to get thirty-something lashes as punishment?”

Hallie was pleased to find that Syl was playing along to her retort. If he had insisted that he hadn’t stolen anything that wouldn’t have been any fun! Hallie rose her eyebrows when Syl took the cigarette back, took another contemplative drag, and then returned it. She smiled and tilted her head, letting strands of black hair fall over the contours of her face.

”This is mine now, sir.” She said, taking the cigarette between her lips as she got out another drag of smoke. She blew it out in careful rings, a talent she had that she loved to show off when she could. She acted like it was nothing and when he asked her where to, it was obvious. She wasn’t going to this guy’s place! For all she knew he was a drug dealer thief, who sold women off to be sex slaves. Though inviting him to her suite was probably not much of a better idea, it seemed one in her mind. After all if she really needed to she could run out to find someone! And Lola, her BFF, was going to be in the room next door. Before getting off the shift she’d warned Lola she might possibly bring someone back and they’d probably get loud if she did. Lola was used to the noise and, also, they had an agreed upon ‘danger’ word between the two of them that if either heard the other shout while they were having sex, the other knew to get them out of the situation.

But Hallie explained none of this to Syl and approached him, reached up, and draped an arm across his shoulder. The hand with the cigarette was still far away from Syl, teasingly far, as she took another drag and didn’t let him have any.

”We’re going right to my place. You think punishment would happen where you’re comfortable? Tut-tut. I’ll show you which pretty little car out here is mine, and you’ll follow it to my building. And once we get up to my building...” She leaned towards Syl, their lips inches apart, ”...you’ll get more than those lashes I was talking about before.”

She pulled away before he could move closer and started to strut towards her own car, the dim ashes of Syl’s cigarette standing out in the dark the farther away she got.

So... he didn’t have a car? Hallie rose her eyebrows over at Syl, the cigarette still between her fingers. Hm, that was weird. Was he a bum or something? He had bene stealing stuff from the store. But then, even if he was some bum, he was still a hot bum. For some reason thinking of Syl as someone who couldn’t be trusted – no matter how dangerous it was – made her want to screw him all the more. She liked her one stands hot and passionate. And mysterious.

”You want to ride in the police car? Then boy, you better beg for it.” Hallie said, grinning at Syl with a laugh at the end of her sentence. ”Now tell me, what kind of enforcement would I be if I just let you steal a car? Nope. You’re getting on your knees, right here, and begging for me to give you a ride or you can find a box to go sleep under instead.”

Now this was a view Hallie could get used to! She liked seeing Syl on his knees like that, especially when he didn’t look up at her like some desperate person. All too often she tried to have fun instances where she was in power but all the people she did it with liked to play the submissive role too submissive. They were cowardly, tentative, and boring. But the way Syl looked up at her, touched her, and grabbed the cigarette from her fingers made her smirk. There was a defiance in his eyes that she liked, and she hoped that if they continued this impromptu courtship and managed to have sex that night, he didn’t lose that fire. Because that fire and confidence was what drew her towards him in the first place.

”Don’t tell me what I don’t want. If I tell you to make me a scene, you’ll make me a scene.” She said with more force than she had thought she was capable of delivering. Seeing him look so defiant made her want to play her role better, more strictly, less flirty and more aggressive. She reached down and tilted his chin up, inspecting his face, as though looking for something. ”Your face isn’t very scarred yet, sir. That means you’ve never dealt with my type of punishment.”

She took a few steps back from him, removing her thighs and legs from his grasp, though she missed the feeling. She made it a point to sashay her hips to the side and accent them for his viewing pleasure. ”Well, get a move on, before I change my mind.”

Hallie let him jerk her hand away, though her first instinct was to hold it in place there so she could continue to get a good look at his features. He looked more attractive in this dim lighting of the parking lot. She had to think that when she got him in her bed, she’d have to dim her lights but not completely extinguish them. In the complete dark, how could she see that challenging glint in his eyes?

”Tame? I’ll take that as a challenge.” Hallie said. When he rose to his feet she didn’t turn around, and still she didn’t move when she felt him catch up with her and heard him speak. He was a step behind her, and when they finally reached her car, she came to a stop, as did he.

As a response to his question and turned around and slammed him against her car, yanking his face down by the collar, so that their faces were inches apart.

”See, the thing about me is that I don’t play it by the book. Rights? When you’re with me, those go bye-bye. We take theft very seriously.” She said, before she let his shirt go too-roughly and opened the backseat door. ”Well, you know what they say – ladies first,” she teased.

”Oh, you are not getting out of this that easily.” Hallie said, almost hissed, as Syl told her that he wanted her to force him in. She wrenched her door open and then grabbed Syl by the shoulders, shoving his body roughly into her backseat. In the moment she didn’t care that she was being brash and should probably control herself until they got to her dorm. To try and add to her shoving him, Hallie reached up and ran her fingers across his chest, admiring the way it felt underneath the shirt and her fingertips. She bet he was hot underneath those clothes. And fortunately, it looked like she was going to get laid tonight.

”Sit pretty, and don’t make a fuss back here while I’m driving. I don’t really care if you buckle yourself up. It’s naïve for you to just jump out of a moving vehicle, keep in mind.” She said, the dangerous glint in her eyes back. ”You’re going to pay for the attitude later.”

”Oh, you’d be surprised how desperate some people are to get out of trouble. They’ll do anything to get off the hook,” Hallie taunted, not giving Syl the pleasure of watching her anymore as she slammed the door. He looked comfortable, lounged out in the back, but Hallie wasn’t going to tease him anymore.

She slipped into the driver’s seat and adjusted her rear-view mirror to look at Syl. She smirked at the way he was lounging and looking at her. As weird as her decision to bring him home was, Hallie was excited.

”Smile at me all you want, but I’m not pulling over.” Hallie said, as she hit the gas and started to drive towards the dorms. She made sure to drive fast over every bump in the road, until she reached the dormitories. She pulled into her spot and got out of her car, opening the door for Syl on the side farthest from his feet to give him a hard time. ”Come along, then. Your attitude needs to be fixed up right away.”
