The day went on like normal for Hopper and Joyce. They dropped off their kids and then headed to their mundane jobs as if the kiss never happened. But, it did happen and it left them both wanting more. “Late again I see," said a not so happy Flo as Hopper entered the station. “What can I say, teenagers are a lot of work," he fibbed, hoping it would work. "Any messages?” “No, not at the moment,” Flo said, with a sigh. Work had seemed to slow down a lot for the station since the whole, pumpkin conspiracy , and Flo hoped Hop wasn't getting too bored. “Oh ok well radio me if anything changes, I'm going to make some rounds around town.” “Will do."
All Hopper wanted to do was go to Melvald's, steel Joyce away, and take her somewhere private so they could get all of their sexual frustration out. As tempting as that sounded that was something stupid teenagers did, not adults with responsibilities. “Hop do you copy?" Flo's voice sounded through the radio. "Yeah I copy,” Hopper replied. "Jane called.” All the hairs on his body stood up while a thousand thoughts raced through his mind. "She needs you to bring by some feminine products and something for lunch at school.“ Hopper then relaxed a little bit. “Ok thank you Flo.”
Jane had already started her period a couple months ago, freaking both of them out at first, but by now they knew how to handle it. He stopped by the cabin getting the essentials, clean underwear, pain reliever, and no pads! “Damn it!" He raced to his blazer and sped off to Melvald's, being the only place that had the kind that Jane liked. On the way Hopper smiled to himself, funny how life works out .
That morning had been particularly slow at Melvald's, leaving Joyce ample time to think. Usually this would be a bad thing, Joyce alone with her thoughts, but the events of this morning made her happy and hopeful for the future.
Ding!
Turning her head, “Hopper!" she exclaimed. No one, not even Donald, was in the store so Joyce could be herself. Seeing that they were the only two around, Hopper gave her a flirtatious smile and tipped his hat. “How ya doin’ darlin’?" Blushing, she bit her bottom lip and talked real low. “I'm good baby, how you doin’?" If he wasn't on a mission for his daughter, Hopper would of continued, but in fear of reaching the place of no return he straightened up with a cough. “Umm, I'm actually here to get some things for Jane.” "Oh?” "Yeah…” Joyce could tell what Hopper was getting at by his hesitation so she went to the correct aisle and came back with the familiar box. “Thank you," Hopper said, with a soft smile. She smiled back and said the price. Silence fell over the pair after Joyce handed the bag to Hopper. “So..." he started. Joyce stayed silent looking at ground, until she heard footsteps. “Dinner tonight?" She desperately asked, almost in a whining voice that she hated. “Um, well Jane." “Bring her too!" “Sounds good!" With that he left to get Jane something to eat.
Not to embarass Jane and himself, he quickly hid all of the feminine things in the grocery bag and walked into the school. He got to the office and one of the secretaries immediately paged for Jane, not wanting to actually deal with him. A couple minutes later, Jane strolled in. “Dad!" She tried to say as best she could with her cramps. “Hey kid! I got you...your...things.” "Thanks.” "Do you need me to stay for a little bit or are you good?” "I'm good dad, thanks." “No problem kid. Hey, we're eating at Will's tonight so just bike there after school.” "Ok dad,” Jane said, with a knowing smile.
Hopper went right from the school to the station where there was a mound of paperwork on his desk. “Flo!?" he yelled, from his office door. Knowing exactly what he meant, she walked over to try to calm him down. “Sorry, Hop, those came for you about an hour ago from the mayor with the memo, please explain .” "Explain what!? Most of those cases are pretty self-explanatory, how else can you put, owl tangled in women's hair ?” Flo laughed. "I don't know, but I wouldn't get on the mayor's bad side Chief, I've heard stories.” Hopper nodded, because he had heard the rumours to. “Well I better get at it then." Hopper said with a sigh. Going through most of it wasn't that bad, just missing signatures on most and more explanation on the rest which Hopper agreed with. He got done around dinner time and hoped the two special ladies in his life wouldn't be upset with him
Hopper rolled into the Byers with a smile on his face, he wasn't here to talk about conspiracy theories or check on Joyce and Will, he was there to eat dinner with the woman he most desperately wanted to be with and their amazing kids. Hopper knocked on the door, not wanting to startle anyone. Joyce opened the door. “Hey you!" she said with a wink. Damn when did she get so bold? Weren't there two lurking kids on the other side? “Hey," he replied. They paused for a moment, taking each other in, even though both were still in work clothes. “Dinner smells good," Hopper said, after he realized how hungry he was. “What? Oh ya, come on in.” Walking into the house he didn't notice the kids, didn't even hear their voices. He gave her a quizzical look. “They're at the Wheeler's, Mike has been back to school the last two days and felt good enough to have a movie night. I figured Jane would of said something to you.” "No, the kid knows better than to ask to go see Mike on a school night, especially when he's sick.” Joyce nodded, Hopper had shown himself to be a good father and Joyce couldn't help but swoon over that fact.
Dinner wasn't much, just grilled ham and cheese sandwiches, but that was one of Jane's favorites that Joyce made. “Sorry it's not more fancy, Jane insisted,” Joyce said, with a smile. "Are you kidding? This is great! And that fact that you got her to eat anything besides Eggos is a win.” “Well thanks, can I make you another?” "Hmm, no I think I'm good for right now," Hopper said, with a mischievous smile as he made his way over to Joyce's set. Just him behind her chair was enough to get a moan out of Joyce. A moan that sent the blood from his brain to inside his pants. They both wanted, no needed this, like it was the air they needed to breathe. Hopper put his hands on her shoulders massaging them for a little while then sent them traveling up and down her body while he started feasting on her neck. All Joyce could do was make those seductive little sounds of encouragement making his cock harden until it hurt, he had to get her out of these clothes if there was any chance of making tonight last. “Come here baby, I wanna see those irresistible lips of yours.” Hopper said horsley, desire coursing through his veins. In one motion he was able to sit on a chair and pull Joyce from her set to his lap. Straddling him, they found each other's lips, but that wasn't enough, this wasn't a time for going slow. “Bedroom?" Joyce asked, in between hot, passionate kisses and rocking on his lap. “Are you sure Joyce, I know I started this, if you're no..." She bit Hopper's bottom lip to shut him up. “Yes Hopper, I've wanted this.” Joyce got dangerously close to his ear and continued. “ I've been wet all day, thinking about you, waiting for you to fuck me .” Her confession lit a spark in Hopper, he got out of the chair with Joyce's legs around his waist and started to make the journey to her room.
Ring Ring! Ring Ring!
Their minds fogged with sex neither of them registered the phone ringing.
Ring Ring! Ring Ring!
Joyce then heard the phone and as much as she wanted to ignore it and continue their love making, she was a mom and something could be wrong.
Ring Ring! Ring Ring!
“Hopper." “Mm." “The phone." He sighed hearing it to and after a second or two he let her go to answer it. “Hello?" Joyce said horsley picking up the phone. “Yes Karen, he's here." All of the hairs on Hopper's body stood up. "Ok, he's on his way.” Joyce hung up the phone, "Jane is complaining about chills and feels like she could throw up." She said sadly, arms around her chest. “Oh well I'd better go.” He replied getting into action mode and heading out the door. “Hey!" Joyce called out as he was getting into his blazer. “Call if you need anything." She said, he nodded and headed for the Wheelers.
