Haven hurried into the visitor check-in at Stockton. She was sure Happy was in a piss poor mood and she felt bad for his cellmate. Friday had been a half day, so she had sped to get out of Charming, glad for the weekend and chance to see Happy. She hadn't had the chance to change and got quite a few looks from the guards and other inmates. She brushed it off as she was led to the family area. She also wanted to wait for a family day so she could hug Happy, as selfish as that sounded.
When she saw him, she shivered at the glare he sent her. His eyes were full of fury and something else she couldn't pinpoint. As she embraced him, he whispered. "What the hell are you wearing?"
Haven sighed into his chest. Pulling back and sitting down, she crossed her legs.
"I am wearing what I wore to school today, we had meetings with the board after noon dismissal. I didn't have time to change," Haven answered. She was dressed in a pencil black skirt that fitted her body like a glove from her waist to her mid thigh. Tucked into it was a purple three quarter sleeve blouse that was open, showing the smooth skin of her chest, not enough to be inappropriate, but enough that Happy had to force himself not to stare.
Her hair was up in a bun, a few tendrils down, and her make up more done up than usual. The eyeliner she had on brought out the blue of her eyes. What got Happy the most though, were the 4 inch stiletto pumps she had on that showed off her legs and ass. He would have stayed in school longer if he had teachers that looked like her.
"Not prison appropriate," Happy rasped. Haven shrugged.
"Gonna waste time over my outfit or ask me about something else?" Haven retorted. Happy growled.
"How's everything going?"
Haven reached out to take his hand, playing with his fingers. She stopped when she noticed they were slightly bruised and scrapped.
"Happy Lowman! What did you do?" she asked in what he guessed was her pissed off teacher voice. He shrugged as she raised an eyebrow.
"Basketball game," he replied as her eyes narrowed. She stopped playing with his fingers to just hold his hand and Happy let her.
"Men…" Haven shook her head. "IF you do anything stupid and I can't come see you because they throw you in solitary or you are in the infirmary, I am telling your mother," Haven threatened.
"Are you threatening me little girl?" he asked lowering his voice. His voice sent shivers down Haven's spine.
"Setting the grounds for an experiment on how far you would push something before I called Maria," Haven replied giving Happy a teasing smile. That smile turned Happy on so he changed the subject.
"How's teaching?" He asked, just to stop the look she was giving him that made him wish he could pull her into his lap. Haven's face lit up.
"Oh, it is wonderful. I have three classes this semester since the high school has block scheduling which is great for science classes. The chem classes I am teaching are the non-AP courses. We don't get to the exciting stuff until later. My biology class is the AP one and is going well, nothing too bad behavior wise. Right now we are getting prepped to dissect pigmy pigs. Chibs and Kozik helped me set up my classroom," Haven stopped at that seeing the look on Happy's face when Kozik's name was mentioned.
"Blondie didn't try anything did he?" Happy's voice a dangerous whisper. Haven smirked.
"Well…he tried flirting and Chibs saw I was uncomfortable. He took Kozik into the hall to exchanged what sounded like heated words. When they came back, Kozik didn't flirt anymore," Haven said. "I wonder what Chibs said to him. I mean, would he say what he did to any guy flirting with me…" Haven noticed the same look in Happy's eyes she saw when she first came in. "What?"
"No guy is going to flirt with you," Happy stated as if that was final. Haven raised her eyebrows at him.
"Hap, I may prefer to be a homebody but I am single. What happens if I want to go on a date? Do I need permission or something?" she asked, an edge in her voice. The look on Happy's face was controlled rage. He didn't like thinking of her dating without being able to protect her. At least that is what he told himself because he didn't like the thought she might not be in interested in dating him. If he dated that was, which he didn't.
"Haven…don't push me," he said letting go of the hand he had been holding. Haven gave a shrug.
"Hap let's just leave it for now. How are you guys in here? Any chance you get out sooner than 14 months?" Haven asked. Happy shook his head.
"Nope, it's 14 with good behavior," he said as the bell rung. Haven stood and came to Happy, biting her lip and looking down. Happy titled her chin up, frustrated she was so far under his skin, but didn't want her to leave upset. "Shorty, I am doing my best not to extend my sentence. You be good," Haven nodded and wrapped her arms around him tight.
"I will be. I miss you bear," she whispered looking up at him. Those eyes would be his torturous undoing he thought. He kissed her forehead and let her go.
"Don't wear a skirt again," he said as the guard came up. Haven smiled sweetly at him.
"Why not? You like it," she sassed. Happy looked at her in slight shock, did she just flirt with him?
"Smartass," he replied as the guard turned him away.
"You know it!" she replied and turned to head out. Happy swore she shook her ass on purpose the whole way out.
