“Ab so bloody lutely!” Tom roared with laughter.
“We get on very well. So far. The girls get on well. They behave and don’t step out of line. When Amanda says no they know it means no. And I much prefer the ranch.”
Don smiled and looked at David.
“You haven’t slept together yet?”
“Uhm. No.”
“What the hell are you waiting for?” David grinned.
“Yes son. Now that you should be working on.”
“We have the girls.”
“Who go to bed nice and early.” David chuckled as he drove.
“Is there something wrong with your tool David?” David grinned.
“No. The tool is fine.” Tom and Don both nodded. David had to change the subject very fast.
“Thank you for helping me out tonight.” Don smiled.
“Well I was the moral support. We had such a good old chat.” David smiled and nodded.
“He shipped the family out for the night.”
“Because his wife interferes. A proper busy body. And she likes things done in her time. But I am glad I was able to do the whole thing. We are free tomorrow. I think Amanda wants to do a little shopping.”
“Well it is nice to have everyone here for a change. Also nice that we know Don and Claire. We never really got to chat though. Parents meetings and functions are like that though. Kind of a meet and greet.” David nodded and smiled. His parents were always at every function. He had their support.
They pulled up to the house. Victoria and Nicola bounced out of the house.
“You will never guess what we saw!” David grinned.
“Do you realize you should be tucked up in bed!” Victoria grinned.
“Dad we saw the new sci-fi. The one that has just been released.”
“Oh you lucky fish!” Nicola chuckled. They all walked inside. David walked up to Amanda and kissed her.
“And how was your session?”
“Very good. I had a ball.” David smiled and looked at Mary.
“And we had a fantastic evening out. We even tried a little shooter.”
“Mom!”
“Only one. But we sipped it. It was a lovely end to the evening.” David smiled and nodded.
“And how did you three manage?”
“We finished the job. I need to pay my boys.” Don roared with laughter.
“We are not taking any money. It was a wonderful night out.” Tom nodded.
“I was the spanner boy.” Amanda chuckled.
“Sydney left ten minutes ago. Olive was out on a sewing course. She ran very late. But the way she spoke on the phone she had a marvelous time.” Mary chuckled.
“Penny does love her sewing as well.”
David smiled.
“Right folks. We are heading home. What are the plans for tomorrow?”
“Amanda has the schedule.” David chuckled and nodded. Everyone piled in to the van. They waved as they drove off. Victoria and Nicola chatted about the movie. Amanda smiled and looked at David. He took her hand in his. She smiled as they pulled up to the house.
“Right ladies. Straight to bed. Otherwise we will not be able to get up in the morning.” They both chuckled as they walked through to Victoria’s bedroom. They changed in to their pajamas.
“Nicola I am putting you in the spare room. Single beds I am afraid.” Amanda smiled as the girls got settled. She nipped in to the shower and washed all the make-up from her face. She put her pajamas on and came out of the bathroom.
David walked down the passage with a pillow and a duvet.
“David what are you doing?” He turned and smiled.
“I will sleep on the couch.”
“You will do no such thing. We will share.”
“Are you absolutely sure?”
“Of course.” He nodded and walked back to the bedroom and put his pillow on the bed. He put the duvet back in the cupboard.
“Now go and have your shower. Would you like a cup of coffee?” David walked over to Amanda and pulled her in to his arms.
“Yes please.” He looked down and kissed Amanda.
“I told my Dad. And your Dad. And they are quite happy with our move.”
“And I told Mom and your Mom and they are rather excited. And about the studies. So there will be no questions asked.” David smiled as he looked at Amanda.
“I had a lot of questions.”
“About accommodation?” David grinned and nodded.
“Men!” David roared with laughter and nodded.
“Quick shower. We are all meeting up for breakfast. Then the ladies will go one way and buy all the linen and things for the girls. If you don’t mind. How much do you know about laptops?”
“I am educated. Admire them. So I am in the know.”
“Good. Because you are going to be doing the selecting tomorrow. They have to be the top of the range. They each need two memory sticks and whatever else. Can you do that?”
“I can make the selection.”
“Good.” David smiled as Amanda walked down the passage. He quickly hopped in to the shower and then put his shorts on.
He hopped straight in to bed. Amanda came through with the coffee.
“The photograph in the lounge. Is that Victoria’s mother?”
“No I don’t have any photographs of her.”
“So who is that then?” David hopped out of bed.
“Show me.” Amanda walked through to the lounge.
“That one.”
“Oh heavens no. That is my cousin. She moved to Australia with her husband and two sons. That was the day they were leaving.”
“Phew.” David pulled Amanda in to his arms.
“Amanda I don’t have a photograph of her. Not even one. I didn’t particularly like her to be honest with you. When you are young you do stupid things. And that was the stupidest thing I have ever done in my life. I have never thought about her. I never missed her. She has never taken an interest in Victoria. In my books you need to earn my respect. How can I respect someone like that?” Amanda smiled as David hugged her.
“You are the one I love. You came in to my life in a way that no one would ever believe. The moment I saw you. I knew. My heart is yours.”
“Oh David. When I saw you sitting down. My heart went out to you. I was drawn. Oh I had to concentrate on breathing. Something made me get up and walk on to that stage. For the kids. And for you.”
“I am glad you did.”
“And what an evening of fun it was.”
“I almost messed it up. But I had to tell you. I wanted you to know so that you understood. Who I was.”
“And I love who you are.”
“I love you Amanda.” He took her in to his arms. Amanda hopped in to bed. Amanda lay in his arm.
“I often wondered what it would be like.”
“What?”
“To lie in your arms. In a bed.” David chuckled.
“We do like to fall asleep on that couch.” Amanda chuckled and nodded.
They both closed their eyes and went to sleep. David woke up at three in the morning. He felt Amanda’s body right up and close. He almost groaned to himself as his erection grew harder and harder. He tried to move away from Amanda. She stirred and opened her eyes and turned around.
“David?”
“I have a slight problem.” She ran her hand down his stomach. He held her hand flat on his stomach. Amanda smiled and loosened her hand and trailed it all the way down. David almost let out a little groan as she took his rock hard shaft in to her hand. She looked up at David and he started to kiss her.
“David.”
“You are in danger Amanda.”
“I want to be in danger.”
“I want to make love to you.”
“I want you to.” David looked at Amanda and she smiled.
“Final answer?”
“Yes.”
He rolled over Amanda and slowly eased himself inside her body. Amanda clung o
n to David. He held her in his arms. He didn’t say anything. He just held her. He lifted up and Amanda moved her arms and pulled David down for a kiss. He took possession of her mouth. He slowly started to move. Amanda moved with him. It was a slow joining of two bodies. Amanda rolled him over and started to make love to David. He held her hips as she moved faster and faster. He felt her whole body shudder as she had an orgasm. He rolled her over and thrust in to her over and over again. He called her name over and over again. Amanda turned David over and made love to him. The more he called her name the faster she moved. He held her hips and thrust in to her. His head went back and he felt the surge as he climaxed and ejaculated deep inside her body. Amanda felt the way that his body was reacting. She slowed down a little but kept moving until she slumped over his body. David held her in his arms.
“Amanda that was beautiful.”
“David that was amazing. You are amazing. I wanted that this whole week.” David smiled and held her.
“You should have said.”
“It was worth waiting for. When we get home I don’t want you to move in to the spare room. I want more of this.”
“Amanda will you marry me?”
“Yes.” David smiled and looked at Amanda. She gurgled with laughter.
“Yes!” He hugged and kissed her.
“I am going to be buying your ring tomorrow. Amanda that is something I want to do. I have met my target a few times over. I would like you to choose a ring. Something that you really want. Do not look at the price. Promise me you won’t look at the price.” Amanda chuckled.
“I won’t look at the price. I promise.” David smiled.
“I love you Amanda.”
“I love you David.” They held each other and went to sleep.
CHAPTER 15
“Okay everybody. Ablutions. Dress. Ten minutes!” Victoria groaned. Nicola roared with laughter. They both sat on Victoria’s bed and sipped at their coffee. Amanda chuckled as David hugged her and they stood and drank their coffee.
“And after all the shopping I think we should come home and pack as much as we can.” Amanda smiled and nodded. She finished her coffee and hugged David. She whispered as she spoke.
“David I feel like a new woman.” He whispered.
“You turned me in to a real man. Now I can go out there and face the world.” Amanda chuckled as the girls walked in.
“We are ready. Why are we up so early?”
“Because Nicola. We are going for breakfast. And then we are going to shop. And shop. And shop. And then we might stop for a little light lunch.”
“We are shopping today?” Victoria and Nicola both squealed with delight.
“Are we ready ladies?” Nicola grinned.
“Kind of starved.” David grinned.
“Famished!” They roared with laughter as they walked out and hopped in the van.
“Where to Miss Rosendale?”
“Head for the mall. They are all meeting us there.”
“All of them?” Amanda nodded.
“The whole tribe.”
“Oh no! You are going to meet Olive!” David roared with laughter.
“And Penny.”
“Well be very nice. Remember. You give what you get. Be nice and they will be nice.”
“Don’t sit next to Olive. I hope they have chairs and not cubicles.”
“Nicola.” Nicola grinned and Victoria chuckled. David looked at Amanda and she hid her smile and looked out of the window.
They pulled up at the mall. David took a slow dawdle as they looked in the jewelers window.
“Hurry up! We need to find chairs.”
“Nicola.”
“I will be super sweet.” David stopped as Amanda pulled him to one side.
“Now that is what I like.” She pointed at a ring in the window.
“Ladies. Go ahead. Go find a table.” Nicola and Victoria ran up to the restaurant.
“We are going in here!”
“Okay!”
David and Amanda walked in to the jeweler. They walked up to the window and looked at the ring. David smiled and nodded.
“That the one?” Amanda smiled and nodded. The assistant was soon there to help them. Amanda tried the ring on and smiled.
“We will take that one.” The sales assistant smiled as she rang up the sale and handed David the packet with the empty box inside.
“Ring please.”
“Ooooh David.” He smiled as she took the ring off. He put the ring in the little box. They walked over to the restaurant. Nicola and Victoria sat waiting.
David smiled as he took a seat next to Victoria.
“And just where did you go?” David roared with laughter. Amanda chuckled.
“What is in the packet young Miss Rosendale?”
“Little Miss Rosendale do not be so nosy.” David chuckled.
“You have to wait. Okay I will let the cat out of the bag. We are celebrating.” They both whispered at the same time.
“A ring?” David and Amanda nodded.
They looked up as Sydney and Olive walked in. Amanda stood up.
“Oh great! This is David and Victoria MacGuire.” Sydney shook David’s hand and Olive smiled.
“Nice to meet you.” David smiled as they took seats opposite Nicola and Victoria. Charles and Penny were next to arrive. David did the introductions.
The folks arrived and hugged and kissed them all. David looked at everyone.
“There is something that I would like to do. And I have to do it properly.” David stood up. They all looked at him. He fiddled in his pocket and took the ring box out. He went down on one knee.
“You have witnesses brother dearest.”
“Thank you Charles.”
“Are you going to propose? Here? In front of everyone?” David smiled.
“Yes Penny I am.” Tom smiled.
“Quiet everyone. Let David have a chance.” David smiled and looked at Amanda.
“Amanda. You know everything there is to know about me. I come as a package deal sweetheart.” Amanda smiled as she looked at David.
“Ask me.” David grinned.
“Will you marry me?”
“Yes!” He smiled as he slipped her ring on her finger.
“I love you.” He hugged Amanda.
“I love you David.” He got off of his knee and stood up. Everyone cheered. All the guests in the restaurant cheered. David chuckled and sat down. He leaned over and hugged Amanda. Everyone got up and hugged and kissed them.
Penny smiled and almost said something.
“David has had a thumper of a week. Thank you for helping him last night. Clocked over the midnight hour there. So we thought we would take you all out for breakfast.” Penny smiled and looked over.
“So business is.” David looked over and cut her off.
“I have never been so busy Penny. I have been busy every single day this week. I had to come to town to do a job last night. Yes. Business is booming.” Penny nodded.
“How was your course last night Olive?”
“Well. We did a few different types of patchwork. Oh it was fantastic. I am going to buy a few pieces of material when we are done. I am going to do a log cabin design. In browns and oranges if I can find the right fabric.”
“Oh lovely!” Penny looked at Olive.
“Do you sew?”
“I do. When I get the chance.” Penny nodded and smiled. The chatting began.
David smiled and looked at Amanda. She winked and smiled. They all placed their order for their breakfast. Nicola looked at everyone. She looked at Victoria.
“So what color are we going for?”
“I was thinking greens.” Nicola nodded. She spoke quietly.
“I wonder what we are going to get?”
“I don’t know. I am glad we don’t have to take our old things.”
“Barbie would not look good.” Victoria roared with laughter.
“I have The Muppets.” Nicola roared with laughter.
“We should do something different. I still like The Smurfs.”
“Hey so do I. If we see a cover with The Smurfs we must go for that.” They both chuckled and nodded.
The breakfast arrived and everyone tucked in. It was a very jovial table. They finished their meal and the bill folder was put down in front of David. Sydney took the folder and added a few notes and passed it to Charles. He added his notes. The bill folder went to Don and Tom and back to David.
“We were going to pay.” Tom chuckled.
“When were we ever out for a meal like this? I can tell you. Never. So count and see what we still need to add.” David counted the notes and smiled.
“Thank you.” He didn’t add a cent. He handed it to the waitress and everyone started walking out.
“And where are you off to now?” David smiled.
“We are going to buy bedding.” Mary nodded.
“There is a nice big sale on at the moment. So I am getting a few things too.” Penny smiled.
“I have to nip to the material shop.” Charles nodded.
“We will bump into you I am sure.” Olive grinned.
“I am going to drag Sydney with. We are joining you Amanda. If you don’t mind.”
“Oh that will be lovely. We can keep Nicola and Victoria on the straight and narrow. The Smurfs?” They both roared with laughter.
“We will have to see about that.” David grinned. He had also listened to the girls chatting.
They walked in to the mall and David held Amanda in his arms. She looked at him and smiled. He pulled her closer. They walked in to the huge store. Amanda handed Victoria and Nicola a list. They both stared at the list.
“Two duvet covers?” She nodded and smiled.
“Each of you take a trolley. I will be selecting the duvet and the pillows. The rest is up to you.” They both smiled as they walked off. Mary and Claire walked with them. Don and Tom walked over to a set of couches and took a seat. David chuckled.
“They haven’t stopped nattering the whole morning.” Amanda chuckled and nodded.
They walked over to the duvets and Amanda found two lovely duvets. She didn’t look at prices. David put them in their trolley. She added four bouncy pillows and two enormous oriental pillows. David chuckled. She took two more of the large pillows.
