 Day 17 (Wednesday 9th June)

   I arrived downstairs after my shower to find breakfast almost ready, two
beautiful blondes working side by side making it, I just stood in the
doorway admiring the view, Libby turned and saw me staring at them and
smiled, walked over to me and drew me into a hug then she reached up with
her hands and held my head for a kiss with her tongue dancing over mine
till I was breathing hard, she ground her crotch into mine and I became
hard but in an uncomfortable position, I moved away slightly to adjust
myself then I got swung around and Ellen was there, she said "That's mine
young lady, you're not getting all of that yet" She ground her crotch into
mine and said "Oh God, I want this, can we have breakfast a little later?"
"MUMMY" We heard a shout and both turned to look at Libby, she was standing
looking at us both with her hands on her hips "What has got into you?  Its
breakfast time and you are thinking about going back to bed?  Don't you get
enough at night time?  Isn't bedtime the time for sex?" I said to Libby
"Libby, there isn't a right time for making love, anytime is the right time
as long as it's in private, with the right person or people who you love.
As it happens you are probably right, now is not the right time but not for
your reasons but that we have other things to do today, we have the bank to
sort out this morning and we are taking Stella and Charley out this
afternoon, so okay, we'll have breakfast now" Ellen stood there pouting and
said "You're no fun you two, I was just getting into that, I think you Ken,
are turning me into a sex maniac" Libby said laughing "He's not turning you
into one, you have already become one" I said "Enough, we all need
breakfast or we're not going to be any good for anything today" So we had
breakfast and relaxed afterwards in the lounge with mugs of coffee.  We
started moving about 10am and Ellen, Libby and I walked round to Ellen's
bank (well it had been Archie's as well).  Ellen said "Archie and me, we
never got a joint account he said that his was a business account for the
shop and we had to keep that separate, I never questioned him, mine was the
joint account from when John was alive it was just a coincidence that the
branch was the same" We arrived at the bank and entered and went into the
queue, when we got to the teller Ellen told her name and handed the teller
her debit card, she added she wanted to talk to an advisor or the manager,
whoever was available.  We were directed to a desk and told to wait so we
sat down on the provided chairs and waited a couple of minutes and a well
dressed man came out of an office and introduced himself "I am Tom Higgins,
I am the manager here, I am very pleased to meet you Mrs Murray (he leaned
over and shook her hand) but I'm truly sorry for your loss, I didn't
personally know you're husband but my sincere condolences.  I understand
there was money in his account and that that had been frozen.  I can now
transfer those funds to your account that is being done as we speak and
will be available to you immediately.  Is there anything else I can help
with this morning?" I said "My name is Ken Richards and I would like to
transfer some money from my account into Mrs Murray's account" I took out
my debit card and got a sheet of paper from a holder on his desk and I
wrote a number on it and handed it to him.  He looked at the number on the
paper and said "This is a joke isn't it?" "No, I've never been more serious
in my life, why don't you take my card and check it out, then arrange for
that amount to be paid into Mrs Ellen Murray's account" I handed him my
card and he shakily stood "This should only take a few moments if you will
excuse me?" He walked back into his office and we waited about 5 minutes
just chatting.  He emerged from his office and motioned me to join him he
said "I have your bank manager on the line he wants to talk to you" I
entered his office with him and picked up the offered phone "Hi, Ken
Richards here, how can I help?" I recognised my bank managers voice and he
said "Ken, I'll ask you a couple of questions" He proceeded to ask me my
mothers maiden name and my fathers middle name and the usual date of birth,
I answered his questions and he asked to be put back onto Tom Higgins.  I
handed the phone to him and he said his name into the phone and then said
"I'll get the details you require" He put the phone down and went out the
door and he came back in with Ellen and Libby, he asked Ellen for her debit
card and she handed it over, Tom read the details from Ellen's card to my
bank manager, there was a "Thank you" and he hung up.  He turned to Ellen
and said "Mrs Murray, if you want to talk to anyone about investing, please
don't hesitate in asking for me and we can sort something out for you.  The
money requested will be in your account in less than 10 minutes, I have
been informed" He turned to me and said "Mr Richards it has been a great
pleasure meeting you and carrying out this business" He put his hand out
and I shook it then Ellen did the same.  He walked us to the door, opened
it and let Ellen and Libby out first, he tapped me on the shoulder, I
turned and he said "Mrs Murray doesn't know how much is being transferred,
does she?" "No, but she will when she checks the ATM outside your bank" "Do
you want me to have a chair standing by?" He said with a chuckle.  "That
might be a good idea" He grabbed a chair from the waiting area and followed
us out the door, Ellen stood in the queue at the ATM, not taking any notice
of anyone, I stood to one side and came to her side when it was her turn, I
deliberately looked away while she put in her pin number then watched her
as she brought up the balance, she staggered and I caught her and Tom came
in with the chair, she looked stunned, the people behind her were asking if
she were alright, I quickly glanced at the balance, £1,015,230.73p, I
cancelled the transaction, retrieved her card and moved us out of the way
of the ATM, I dragged the chair she was sitting on along the pavement about
a couple of feet, allowing others to get into the machine.  Tom suddenly
appeared with a glass of water, which she drank down and seemed to come to.
She looked up to me and turned her face to Tom, "Did I see clearly?  That's
a mistake, right?" Tom was the first to answer "It's correct, the bank
doesn't make many mistakes and it hasn't now" "I don't need that amount of
money, you'll have to take it back, I don't want it" Tom just stood there
staring at a daft woman rambling.  He said "A rough guess tells me that
you're going to have to take it and enjoy it" She stood up and turned to me
"You planned this didn't you?  You knew before we came into the bank this
morning what you were going to do?  Didn't you?" I nodded and smiled "We
had better go back in the bank and arrange for a credit card on your
account as well now" She turned to Tom and said "I don't want this, but I
suppose I'll have to.  I just don't want the same type as Ken's got, I want
a limit on mine" Tom looked at me he said "Can I see your card?  So I can
see what Mrs Murray is talking about." I got my card out of my wallet and
showed it to him, he said "I haven't seen one of those for a while, well
you just don't in Partick, but I've seen pictures, we have those in out
training sessions.  It's okay Mrs Murray we will make sure you get a normal
credit card" We went back into the bank, Tom helped Ellen fill in the form
and he said he would get it sorted.  I said to Tom "Libby would like an
account as well but doesn't have much in the way of ID, not having needed
it before" He said "We can set it up today but she will have to have a
birth certificate and a photo signed by her GP" I said I would arrange
that, Libby had heard her name mentioned and was all ears, she said "Mum
has my certificate at home and we can get a photo signed no problem, but
why do I need an account?" I said "How can you get paid an allowance if you
don't have one?  Then think about the fuel you will have to pay for when
you've passed your test" Her eyes lit up, she said with mischief in her
eyes and a giggle "I just didn't think did I?" Tom said as he was writing
on a form "Excuse me for being presumptuous but does this all mean we will
have to change the name on Mrs Murray's account sometime in the future?" We
all said "Yes" I continued "As soon as it's decent to do so" Tom turned the
form around and said to Libby "Please sign this form here and here" He
pointed his finger on the page.  She did and he said "I will keep this in
the branch until you show me your ID then we'll send it off for you and
within 4 weeks you will have your own account up and running, he put his
hand out to Libby and she shook it and said to him "Thank you Mr Higgins it
has been a pleasure" He said "The pleasure is mine too it's nice to talk to
a young lady with manners" She blushed and we all stood up.  Tom said as we
were leaving "My area managers going to want to talk to me now and I will
tell him you have made my year, I won't mention any names but what has
happened here today is worthy of many a conversation" "Well enjoy it Tom, I
or Ellen will bring Libby in with her ID" We left and went home for lunch.
Ellen phoned her doctors surgery and made an appointment for Friday
afternoon for her and Libby and I thought `I have to get them on my medical
plan, so she doesn't have to wait for appointments'.  We had our lunch then
sat down in the lounge laughing about the morning and just on 2pm the door
bell went off and I went to answer it and found Stella and Charley there, I
told them to come in and led them into the lounge, I called TOA and asked
for a cab with disabled facilities and room for 5, they said it would be
here in 10 minutes and before that it was here, I think some addresses or
names are noted down by them and we get better service, maybe I'm wrong but
I don't think so.  We all got into the cab and I gave the cabbie the
address, he was as talkative as normal cabbies are and praised the place we
were going to saying he had heard all sorts of disabled people in his cab
raving about it.  I said that I was certainly pleased to hear that as I was
a stranger in Glasgow, he said he had guessed that from my accent, but he
said "I don't think you'll be a stranger very long, everyone who comes to
Scotland keeps coming back" I agreed with him, that I indeed would like to
stay for a long time.  We arrived and alighted and I paid the cabbie and
gave him a nice tip, he thanked me and was gone.  We went into the
impressive looking building and found a huge viewing area showing all kinds
of wheelchairs and other disabled aids.  A blonde good looking woman with
hair hanging down to her shoulders about 30 with a smart uniform came over
to us and asked how she could help, I started because it didn't look as if
Stella knew where to begin, I said "I've looked at your website and seen a
wheelchair lift that would be suitable to our needs, we would need one hand
and one the opposite hand" She said "If it's to go up two floors, one hand
will do" I answered "You see those two girls (I pointed to Libby and
Charley, she nodded), well they are friends and they live next door to one
another and they need to visit on the odd occasion, like every day, so
that's why we need two lifts.  I also want their house bathroom changed
into a `wet room' you do that don't you?  (She nodded) So she will have to
have a wheelchair that doesn't mind getting wet in the shower and some sort
of lift so she can go to the toilet unaided.  I also want her bedroom
converted so she can get in and out of bed onto her wheelchair unaided as
well, are you with me so far?" The woman said "I think we should go to our
office to get things sorted out it you don't mind?" She walked and
indicated for us to follow and she got us all comfortable and said "My name
is Shirley Devonshire and I am pleased to be of service, is this you're
daughter?" She indicated to Charley.  I said "No, the other beauty is going
to be my daughter shortly, her name is Libby and the girl who needs all
this is that beauty there (I pointed), Charley" I would like your company
to carry out surveys to both my property and to Mrs Stella Wyatt's here" I
indicated to Stella.  I gave her our addresses and asked when they could
come.  Ms Devonshire said "Please let me look at my diary" After looking in
her desk diary she said "I can come on Friday morning about 10am if that
suits?" I said "Well I don't have anything happening then, how about you
Stella?" She replied "Sounds good to me as well" "Are you the surveyor as
well as the sales person?" She replied "We like to keep just one person to
one big project if possible, it means you as the customer aren't looking
for numerous nameless people to ask questions from, also we don't have a
call centre, my name and mobile number is on my business card which I will
give to you, also this office number in case I am inside this building,
sometimes the reception isn't very good inside here" She handed cards out
to all of us.  I said "Thank you Ms Devonshire" "Please call me Shirley,
after all we are going to get to know one another quite well by the time
this is finished to your satisfaction.  By the way I live not far from you
all, I'm at the top of Byers Road so I can keep an eye on progress easily"
I said "That's great, you can come to the opening ceremony and make a
speech" We all laughed and she said "I am going to enjoy this project, now
I have to get serious.  Do any of you need credit to carry out these works?
We can arrange that if it's wanted, we are registered to do that" I said
"No, I will be paying for everything and as a goodwill gesture will pay a
deposit now of £3,000.  If that doesn't cover the deposit after the survey
I will of course add to it to bring it up to the correct amount" Shirley
looked at me a bit stunned and said "That's not the usual way we do
business but I'll go along with it" She stood up and asked me to follow her
as the cash area was against the far wall, she went behind the counter and
I gave her the big card, she baulked a bit and then put it into her machine
and watched me as I put in my pin, her machine pinged and we were in
business, she handed me back my card and receipt and said "If you don't
mind me saying so, I haven't seen one of those cards before, oh I know what
it is, `no limit', are you someone I should be asking for an autograph for
my niece if I had one?" "No, I won the Euro Millions jackpot that's all"
She put out her hand and I shook it, she said "For luck" and she smiled We
joined the others and got ready to leave, I asked her if she would phone us
a taxi and she said she would, we made our way out onto the pavement and
waited about 5 minutes and it came and whisked us off to home.  Stella said
after we got home and settled in our lounge "I'm still a little anxious
about the money involved here, we've only been friends for four days and
you are spending an extraordinary amount of money on us, I'm a little
daunted to say the least, I'm wondering what you want of us?" I said "You
are right of course there will be a payback involved (Stella and Charley
looked apprehensive) and it's this, you have to make sure these two remain
friends for as long as you live, do you think you can do that?" I laughed
at their expressions and then they caught on and laughed as well "Boy oh
boy Ken, you sure had me going there and to answer you (she turned to Libby
and Charley) if you ever even think about falling out you come to me first,
you hear?" They both nodded, I said "That sounds like a pact" It was
getting on and I said to Ellen "Do you want to cook tonight?  I could order
in a couple of large pizzas for us all if you like?  I'm sure the girls
won't object so it's just you two grown up girls to make the decision, what
would you say (I said loudly) to a couple of family sized `All Seasons'
pizzas you lot?" I got a lot of squealing and yeses, so I went onto the
phone with the Yellow Pages again and found a local pizza delivery and
ordered a couple of family sized pizzas with `the works', as I was phoning
Libby came close to me and said "What's it like, a pizza, we've never had
one?" I explained that it was like a big round flat bread-like substance
covered with tomato sauce and anchovies, cheese, pickles and peppers, I
know you will both like it or I wouldn't have ordered it darling, don't
worry" She went back and sat down chattering away to Charley.  Then about ½
an hour later the doorbell went and I went and paid for our delivery, I put
them on big plates in the dining room and separated the slices that the
pizza restaurant had made and got plates out, I opened a bottle of white
wine and called everyone to the table, Ellen and Libby watched the rest of
us take slices and start to eat them with their hands, no knives and forks
for this, then they both took a slice each and took a bite and you could
see the pleasure of the different flavours they were tasting, they weren't
so slow taking another slice each, we all managed two full slices each and
the left-over's were put into foil wrap and one given to Charley the other
put in our fridge for probably a midnight feast for `you know who' we
tidied up the dining room washed up the plates and our fingers then took
our glasses into the lounge.  I put the radio on, it was on the jazz
programme, I said to Stella "I'll change that if you don't like it" "No,
please, I love jazz, it's so relaxing some of it, then it can be sexy to
dance to, I remember when Charlie's father, Steve, used to take me out
before we were married and after, before we had Charley, he would take me
to a jazz club in the city and he would dance with me, he was good at that,
I think that's where I fell in love with him, he was so debonair" I looked
at Ellen and she nodded as if she knew what I was thinking, I said to
Stella "Would you care for a dance now?" She looked at Ellen and got a
small nod "Yes, I would love one" I took her hand and she rose and came
into my arms, she danced a little stiffly so I tried pulling her into me a
bit more but she resisted, I stopped dancing and held her away from me, I
said "Is that the way you used to dance Stella?" "No, of course not, but I
feel too nervous to dance properly, I'm not your lover" Ellen stood up and
whispered something in her ear and she turned to Ellen "Are you sure?"
Ellen nodded and said "Do it" Stella turned to me and swayed with the music
put her hands on my shoulder and moved in so we were touching everywhere, I
swayed with her to the rhythm of the music and we swirled round then moved
as if we were one person and she raised her arms up and put her hands round
the back of my neck and she started to grind her hips onto mine, I was
getting hard and she must have felt me and suddenly she pulled away from me
and ran out of the room sobbing, Ellen got up quickly and followed her out
into the hall, Charley and Libby looked up alarmed at what was happening
"Where's my Mummy gone?  Is she alright?" I said "It's alright, Stella got
upset when she remembered dancing in her teens" I went out into the hall
and saw Ellen with her arms round Stella and Stella trying to apologise to
Ellen for something, I cleared my throat and they both looked at me, I said
"It's my fault Ellen, I got hard dancing with Stella and I believe she felt
me, I apologise to you both, I am weak, I'm a man, I can't help myself when
I am with a sexy woman" "It's not your fault, it was the way I was dancing"
Ellen said "Look Stella, I know what jazz does to Ken, he looses himself in
it, I've felt it, seen it, know it and I know you probably do too, it's
just for you it's been a long time between dances, I think you should both
go in there and finish your dance, please, what do you say Stella?" Stella
said "Even though you know I will lust after Ken, you want me to finish my
dance?" Ellen replied "Yes, with all my heart" "You're mad, you know that
don't you?" Ellen said "We are all a little mad in our own way, look how he
swept me of my feet" I took Stella's hand in mine and we went back into the
room, Libby and Charley looked up, Charley said "Are you okay Mummy?" "No,
but I will be in a moment" She walked into my arms and held her hands round
the back of my head and started swaying, before we started dancing again I
had adjusted myself so I wouldn't be uncomfortable, she now felt my
semi-hardon higher up and I saw her smile and she pushed herself so we were
one again, I had my hands round her waist and I started to move them up and
down her spine then I brought them round to her hips and held her tight to
me, all the time we were swaying to the music, then I started moving one
hand up and down her spine and squeezed her hip with the other, she stopped
moving and shuddered and put her head on my shoulder and I could feel the
wetness of her tears and I just held her tight, I turned my head and kissed
her on her exposed neck.  She slowly came apart from me, she said quietly
"You are a gentleman in the greatest sense of the word and I'm afraid I
love you, I feel like a teenager again" She turned to Ellen "I really do
have to apologise to you now, Ellen.  I told Ken that I love him, I'll
understand if you don't want to see me again or talk to me" Ellen put her
fingers up to Stella's lips and said "Now you know why I love him, why
would I hate you for loving him.  Ask him if he loves you?" Stella looked
at Ellen with a stunned look on her face and turned to me "Do you love me?"
"Of course I do, you don't think I would dance with someone like that if I
didn't love them do you?" She said "I have to sit down.  Oh I can't sit"
Ellen said "Stay there" She rushed out of the door and came back with a
clean dish towel and put it on the couch "Now sit down Stella" She moved
her skirt aside and sat down and blushed.  Ellen and I were each side of
her.  I held one hand and Ellen had the other, she turned to Ellen and said
"I didn't want this to happen, it wasn't even in my head that it would,
when I said the other day that he could be my `toy-boy' I was only joking,
you have to believe me Ellen" "Look I know how he feels about you and I
think you need someone, not a husband, you've had enough of them, do you
mind if Ken comes round to you say once in a while to keep you company and
maybe have a dance or two?" I thought, `God, what a good idea' Stella
looked at me a bit stunned, she said "You heard what Ellen said didn't you?
You know what dancing with me will lead to and you are willing to go with
the flow?" "Have you got any jazz in your home (she nodded) then I don't
see a problem do you?" "You are getting a mini harem?  I haven't been with
a man for 8 years.  I won't know what to do" Ellen said "Compared to the
two husbands I have had, Ken is my first real man and you will love the
journey Stella, believe me" "I can't believe I am having this conversation
with you two, I don't know what's happening, aren't you afraid I'll steal
your man from you Ellen?" "Stella, I trust Ken and why would you want to
spoil the friendship we have and the one those two girls over there have?"
Stella rose up off the chair, the damp cloth coming with her, she removed
it blushed again and handed it to Ellen and said "Do you mind if we go home
now and sleep on it and I'll tell you tomorrow?" Ellen said "Please make it
later on in the day Stella dearest, it's Archie's funeral tomorrow morning"
Stella said she was sorry she forgot and would see us if we felt up to it,
she said to Charley it was time for them to go as we had a funeral to go to
tomorrow, they said there goodbyes and left to go next door, I said to
Libby it was time for her too, she didn't argue and gave us normal kisses
and hugs, I think she was thinking about the funeral.  Ellen put some oats
out to soak then we went upstairs too.  I was so horny I tore off my
clothes and watched Ellen strip then climb into bed, we rutted like
animals, I think the evening had got to Ellen as well.  We slept well.
