The two were spotted out having lunch at a very quite and kind of dark restuarant. The few on lookers said that the two were totally into each other and the table between the two was very short. It appeared the two first started by playing an inoccent game of footsie but didnt stop there. Hayes ended up taking off her sandles and using her bare feet she started rubbing his leg. This obviously catching his attention he decided to see how far she was willing to go. She was more then willing to go further then just rubbing on his leg, as she continued her way up his leg sqeezing one thigh at a time with both feet. Because he was wearing a loose fit pair of shorts she eventually found her way to his crotch were she found his hard cock waiting with anticipation for her touch. Though there was a light table cover over the table it was obvious she was starting to rub his hard cock with her feet. For what seemed like ten or so minutes the two didnt say a word they just stared into each others eyes when it seemed Ziggy must have cum because he had a moment of wht looked like total relief then realizing where the two were he quick brushed her feet out of his crotch and was suddenly in a rush to leave. Maye it was to haed home were the two of them could get a little more intimite without anyone else around?
