 Day 22 (Monday 14th June)

   We were up very early this morning as we didn't know what time the
contractors would arrive.  We had eaten our breakfast by 8am and were
tidying up, Libby asked if she could go and see if Charley was up or see if
Stella needed a hand with anything, I said "Okay, go on then but don't get
in anyone's way" We made sure the area was clear that the contractors were
going to work in and Ellen put on the kettle as she said the workers will
need to wet their whistles, I said "They had better get on with the work"
"That is a typical answer from a boss" So the guys eventually arrived at
10am and promptly stopped for their tea break, Ellen asked them if they
wanted hot water for a brew and I kept watching the clock.  Ellen said to
me that we were running out of coffee, I thought we had got some the other
day, however I left and went out to get some more.  It took me just over ½
an hour and by the time I got back the guys were well into fitting the
lift, I put the coffee in the cupboard and found an identical jar of coffee
in there, I mentioned this to Ellen and she said "I knew that, but you were
being too much like a construction manager in you're own home, I had to get
you out" "You are devious I'll have to keep an eye on you, young lady" I
laughed and gave her a quick tickle.  My mobile began to ring then and I
answered it "Ken Richards, how can I help you?" A mans voice at the other
end answered "My name is Alec Thompson of Paisley Air.  (I wandered into
the living room out of Ellen's earshot), I believe you are looking to fly
to Gatwick on Saturday next?  I have a flight leaving Glasgow airport at
11am with three business gentlemen going back to London, if you want I can
put you on their flight, there's plenty of room for you or you can have a
personal flight at a more substantial fee, I have no problems with either.
Just to let you know I have flown these guys before and they are family men
not lager louts." "I am happy to take the flight with them, what time does
it land at Gatwick (He told me), how much and can you take a card over the
phone?" "I'll take the card number now and you can put in the pin when I
see you, just so we are all in the know" I told him my card number, I also
told him the card type, he said that that impressed him, he told me that
his office at the airport was at the private small aircraft area, we
verbally shook hands and said we would be at his office at that area of
Glasgow airport in plenty of time and I thanked him and hung up.  I went
onto the phone and ordered the car to be ready for delivery at the private
small aircraft area of Gatwick Airport and indicated when our flight
landed. The lift guys were quick and in 4½ hours it was up and they were
working at the electric box under the stairs for a supply to it.  One of
the guys came over to us and explained that there was a mechanical winder
that came with it in case of a cut in electricity.  He showed us how it
worked and said the main problem really was keeping anyone calm if they
were in it at the time.  I said I could understand that.  The guy working
on the box under the stairs came out and said it was ready for testing and
did I want to step in it he said and laughed.  His mate stepped in and the
button was pressed and it rose gently and stopped at the top, they made a
couple of adjustments and then came down again.  Both of them went upstairs
and fixed a metal gate where the banister had been.  The lift was tested a
couple of times again with somebody in and not and the guys said they were
satisfied, they also explained that the gates had a magnetic control in
that they wouldn't open if the lift wasn't there.  They also explained that
it could be removed easily and the banister re-instated so it wouldn't be
noticeable.  I thought they had done a great job.  The time was getting
nearer for my interview at 4pm so I phoned a taxi to take me there.  I
arrived about 5 minutes early and announced myself to one of the sales
personnel, she asked me to follow her and she took me through into some
offices and asked to wait a moment, she knocked on a door and after a `come
in' was spoken she disappeared inside, she immediately returned and said Mr
Devonshire would see me now and ushered me into the office, she closed the
door behind me from the outside and I walked forward with my hand
outstretched to the gentleman on the other side of a desk, he shook my hand
and said "My name is `John Devonshire' I believe you are acquainted with my
daughter Shirley" He pointed behind me, she had been sitting in a chair
that would have been behind the open door, I put out my hand to her and we
shook and I smiled, "Good to see you again, Shirley" "Likewise, Ken" I
turned back to her father and he said "I looked through you're CV, very
impressive, I understand that any monies you earn from us you want to go to
yours and our choice of charity, that's very generous Mr Richards, a
consultative fee is substantial plus there may be bonuses, do you still
feel that way" "Firstly, my name is Ken.  Secondly I don't need the money.
Finally, I haven't changed my mind, I will say that I would only do this
job if it doesn't encroach on my family time, they are more important to me
than your contract, other than that I am at your disposal, figuratively
speaking" He said "I like the way you think...erh...Ken.  My name is John
and I think we can do business, do you want to know anything about what we
do?" "Not at this moment, I am more concerned about when your part of the
contract is planned for and the time scale and more importantly, I need to
know if you can keep to the timing, if I go into a meeting and they are not
ready for you, then that is their problem and I will be looking for
extensions and/or interim payments early, but on the other hand, if one of
your suppliers lets you down and your not ready for them then the
proverbial `crap hits the fan' is that okay with your way of thinking?"
John said "I didn't think of it quite like that, that's obviously why we
need you, Ken.  To let you know, this is our first big contract like this
and because of that we don't want to get things wrong, we have stockpiled a
lot of the stuff we need and have a promise that our supplier will deliver
on or before time, they need this too" "I need to have a copy of the
contract you signed with them so if they ask any questions that haven't
been negotiated with you or make demands I need to be forewarned so I can
retaliate, this is like a war from now until the end, they will attempt to
get more out of this contract with you without paying extra for it, we have
to make sure that doesn't happen.  I need copies of any letters that have
been sent or received regarding this contract, I know that a letter can
form part of a contract in Scottish law, I also need the `Schedule of
Works' from their Planning Dept, in at least A3 size, it will be a possibly
coloured coded bar chart.  Now I think that any bonus that you expect to
pay me for a job completed on time and within budget should be paid to the
guys who carry out the work, this should be explained to them before the
contract starts" Shirley spoke up "Okay daddy, now you know why I
recommended Ken for this job, he is fair, but tough and I think it will
work for us to have him on board" John said "Okay, when can you start?" "As
soon as you get that information to me, but I won't be available for a week
from this coming Saturday, I have to buy my wife to be a present and it's
somewhere in the south east of England" Shirley said "What are you buying
her if you don't mind me asking?" "Oh, I don't mind you asking, I just
don't know what it is yet" I laughed and they both laughed along with me, I
said "I am flying her and her daughter down on Saturday as a birthday
surprise, she doesn't know yet, I have a house down there that I supervised
the building of that they haven't seen, it was a labour of love and was
built before I knew them, so if there is anything happening before that I
will have to rely on your Contracts Manager, I will leave my contact
details with her" I turned to Shirley and said "Call me if there are any
developments that I need to know about, any dates for pre-start meetings
ect okay" John spoke up "Erh, Ken, you assume Shirley will be our Contracts
Manager, why is that?" "Well it was her that brought this contract to my
notice in such a professional manner that I naturally thought that she
would be the most obvious person, also she has you're best interests in her
heart as she is you're daughter, Shirley is present at this interview so I
presume her to be my liaise with you, is this not the case?" "I hadn't come
to that conclusion yet but the way you put it over convinces me that you
are right and Shirley will be the Contracts Manager" Shirley came over and
spoke to her father "Thank you daddy, I won't let you down" She turned to
me and continued "Thank you for the vote of confidence and the fine speech
I am very grateful" "Just keep me in the loop if there is a problem even a
small one, I want to know even if you're Foreman sneezes, okay?" I laughed
and they laughed along with me, John added "I am truly pleased Shirley
found you, I understand you are also one of our customers, you will of
course receive a reduction in the invoice as any employee would" I said
that won't be necessary as I was a customer before I agreed to do this,
keep you're profits up, you may need them to do other contracts like this
one" John put his hand out to me and said "I had a son once, I had hoped he
would have been like you are, confident and professional and able to be
sociable as well, but he had a moment of weakness and it took him from me"
"You have a daughter who has those qualities as well, so you should nurture
them" Shirley just stood there and blushed, I thanked him for the interview
and the offer of employment and said I must go if there was nothing else,
he said there wasn't but just to wish me a pleasant and safe journey to
England and back to Scotland and Shirley said she would see me out, we said
our goodbyes and Shirley led me out and just as we got to the front door
she turned and looked at me and said "I seriously want to thank you for
what you said to my father in there, he had been just mourning my brother
and not thinking that I could step into his shoes so to speak.  I wish I
had met you before you're intended, do you mind if I kiss you?" I certainly
don't mind any good looking women kissing me, so I put out my arms and she
lifted herself upon her toes and put her open lips on mine, I opened mine
too and we touched tongues, she put her hand up on my head and held me and
I just enjoyed the moment as she pushed her tongue into my mouth for an
exploration, she broke the kiss and was breathing hard and said "Wow, none
of my boyfriends measure up to that, what am I to do now?" "Lets just keep
this professional for now, Shirley, no complications okay?  Lets just say I
enjoyed it very much" She looked up to me and smiled "Of course Ken,
anything you say is okay with me" I turned and hailed a passing cab, I
turned back to her and said "Are you coming to the house anytime to see the
progress?  I would like that" "I'd thought of coming tomorrow if that's
okay" "We would all be pleased to see you" I stepped into the cab and waved
goodbye to a smiling gorgeous woman.  "Well did you get the job Ken?" Were
the first words Ellen said as I arrived and I replied "Yes dear, but it
won't interfere with us" I told her about the interview, leaving nothing
out and finishing with the kiss I got from Shirley.  She said "So you have
taken another heart, your harem is growing" She laughed and I said "I have
no intension of having a harem, woman" Ellen said "We shall see when she
comes tomorrow, I'll talk to her" That left me worried, but hey ho, she
would do it whatever I said so best `go with the flow' and see how things
pan out.  I asked how things were next door, she said they are fine and for
us to go and see for myself.  So we headed out and into Stella's.  The men
had packed up for the day and gone by that time and the lift was up and
running, I heard a voice from above and there were Charley and Libby on the
landing waving me up.  So up I went, Charley came to me and put her arms
out and I got down beside her and she gave me such a hug and burst into
tears, I said what's this for and she said between sobs "I want to say
thank you for all this, I am so happy and I love you with all my heart, I
wish you were my daddy, Libby and I are like sisters, life is wonderful,
how my life has changed in such a short time" "Charley I think there was a
reason for me to win all that money, if I didn't know any better I would
think I had a fairy godmother, I was destined to buy the house next to you,
I don't begin to understand what's happening and I have never said that to
anyone else, so it's not me you have to thank, it's whoever is watching
over me, do you understand?  I don't mean it's a religious thing, I don't
think anyone religious would approve of me and your mother, are you okay
with that explanation?" "That's a lot to think about, I'll let you know but
I still love you.  Now come on and see what's been happening" She had
calmed down enough to show me the lift and the fact that she had used it to
get where she was, she was so excited.  She showed me into her new bedroom,
it had been stripped of wallpaper and carpet and near the wall where,
presumably her bed was going to be, was a contraption hanging from the
ceiling that was designed to lift someone from their bed to a wheelchair.
Charley said "They are going to bring a new bed tomorrow and they are going
to demonstrate to me how to use the hoist so mummy won't hurt her back
lifting me ever again.  Come on we have to see everything and she glided
out of her bedroom and into the bathroom and said "They have started in
here by removing all the old tiles and lifting the lino, as you can see we
have no bath now, only a toilet and basin, they said they can't leave us
overnight without that, some sort of regulation, there's a hoist to help me
get onto the toilet and there will be bars to stop me falling, okay now my
Mummy would have to show you her room, but to let you know, they have
stripped the walls in there too.  They sure were busy here today, there
were a lot of people in this house but mummy kept them happy with tea and
biscuits" She said that they had a big lorry outside to take away all the
rubbish, I thought it must have been pretty full by the time it left here.
Libby had been following us about not saying anything she spoke up now
"Well my sister, Charley are you going to show him your lift in action?"
Charley said "Okay sister Libby here I go" She glided over to the metal
gate and pressed a button and the doors slid open, there must be a
connection between the outer and inner doors as they both worked together
like passenger lifts do in offices, she glided in, I also noticed there was
a ramp attached to the door mechanism that lowered when the doors were
opened and lifted as they closed, clever.  She pressed a button and the
lift went down ever so smoothly, at the bottom I could see that the lift
gates opened and a ramp came down for her to glide out, she sat in her
wheelchair put her arms up in the air and shouted "Tralaah!!!" She turned
and glided into the lift and it lifted her up to us again, she opened the
gates, the ramp lowered itself and she glided out and she said "Isn't it
marvellous and you have the same, we will be like real sisters won't we
Libby?" "I'm really looking forward to our new life together" I think she
thought about the way that sounded and blushed, "You know what I mean" I
laughed "Yes darling, lets all go downstairs" So Libby and I went down the
stairs and by the time we arrived Charley was opening the gates with a big
grin on her face.  Stella said "It's time for dinner and an early night for
you Charley, this has been an exciting day for you and we will have to be
up early tomorrow for the workers" We left them to their dinner and went to
get ours, Ellen had been cooking and we had a meat loaf with boiled
potatoes and greens, good grub.  Libby and I got ready afterwards for our
session at the gym, I didn't think Libby would be doing much, maybe the
rowing machine and the treadmill, after all she didn't need anything
really, she was good company for me and we were going to see about Karate
or Jujitsu lessons for her, I spoke to a personal trainer, he measured and
weighed me, took my age and health details and stuck it all into his
computer, he said as I hadn't been in a gym for a while I should warm up
with some exercises first then go onto some of the machines to tone up
where it was needed most, well he took Libbies details as well, he said for
her it was just a matter of building up strength for stamina, he said she
looked fine, I thought she looked beautiful but that was another matter. 
We entered the gym area and did a warm up together then we both went onto a
treadmill and after a while I started to step it up to a trot then into a
run, she kept walking then stopped and went over to a rowing machine and
begun that but even on the easy row she found it hard going and came over
and watched me for a while, she wandered off to look at some posters on the
walls, I was finding it hard going and decided that that was enough, I
called her over and said that I had had enough and asked her if she was
okay, she said she was and she said she would have a shower and wait for me
outside in the reception area, she figured she would be quickest, so we
went into the separate changing areas, it took me about 20 minutes to get
showered and changed and when I came out she was not in the waiting area, I
found her waiting behind the desk with the receptionist and when she saw me
she ran out and clung onto me, I said "What's wrong Libby?  Has someone
hurt you?" The receptionist spoke to me and said "She got a fright in the
showers, one of our women members came onto her, they didn't realise how
old she is, we are very sorry, we have spoken to the woman and she has been
barred from these premises, we take abuse and harassment very seriously,
please accept our apologies" "I do thank you for taking this that way, I
would rather you give your apologies to Libby here" The receptionist spoke
to Libby for a few minutes while I moved away for the moment, Libby came up
and took my hand and asked if we could go, I said "Of course, are you okay
now?" She said she was and we walked out into the car park.  We had taken
the car so there was no waiting about.  We got back home and we went and
found Ellen and Libby told her what had happened, the part I didn't see was
that as soon as the lesbian had tried to touch Libby she had grabbed a
towel and ran out to reception and the receptionist had taken Libby back
into the changing room to point out the woman, she told Libby to finish
what she was doing and the receptionist said she could wait for me in her
area, then she got hold of the lesbian and told her she wasn't welcome back
and told her to get dressed quickly and leave which is what she did, then
they walked back out and I arrived shortly after.  Ellen was horrified but
practical over it, she said "I bet there are notices posted in there at
this moment regarding the incident and I'll also bet any other lesbian that
goes in there will be scared to walk the wrong way, I don't think there
will be any reason for Libby to go and not be safe now, so how do you feel
about going back in the gym?" She said "I guess I would be okay" Ellen said
"I think we could all do with a good nights sleep" I said I sure could I'm
knackered after all that exercise, I'm not used to it, must be getting old"
Ellen said "You are going to need your strength with the harem you've got
going and the nappies you'll have to change" She laughed, I didn't know
whether to laugh or not so stayed silent and sheepish and they looked at me
and laughed all the more then I joined in.  Libby went into the kitchen,
sorted the oats and kissed and hugged us then walked up stairs to her
bedroom.  We walked upstairs hand in hand up to our room, we did our
ablutions and undressed and climbed into bed, I thought we were just going
to sleep, Ellen had other ideas, she pushed the covers down and put her
hand round my cock and started rubbing me, god I felt rock hard and she
leaned over and kissed the end and lapped up the precum, I thought I was
going to explode then she squeezed me momentarily and the notion left, then
she put her mouth right over and sucked my cock into her mouth and
continued rubbing but slowly, then she lifted her head and put one leg over
me, straddling me on her knee's and guided me into her and leaned on her
elbows, I grabbed hold of her buttocks and pushed and squeezed them and
drove myself in and out of her and she kissed me shoving her tongue in and
out of my mouth like a cock then my cock took over her senses and she
lifted herself up and rested her hands on my chest and started shaking her
head from side to side and groaning, I let go of one buttock and tweaked
both nipples and this seemed to take her over the edge and she came, I
could feel the contractions round my cock and she was mumbling something I
don't know what, then I put my hand back on her buttock and kept squeezing
and pushing and grinding me onto her clit I came with a roar,
spurt....spurt.....spurt.....spurt, God I felt on top of the world, Ellen
collapsed on top of me and we laid there for a while, Ellen whispered in my
ear that she loved me and I kissed her gently and hugged her to me, then
she started to do that purring thing like a humming, she said "Ken darling,
I am so happy, I have never been so happy in all of my life, I love you
with all my heart, I want you to love Libby like you love me, I want her to
forget what happened to her this evening and get the loving she deserves, I
know it won't be tonight as I've worn you out (she giggled) but make it
soon my love, please" I whispered back "Oh, I think she is ready, it's just
timing, maybe tomorrow evening if it feels right, okay?" "Yes that sounds
good.  She loves you like I do, not like a father/daughter feeling but like
a husband, she is so mature" "She's mature enough that she is teaching
Charley about sex" "They are so good together and I knew they were close,
are they okay?  How do you know?  She talks to you about sexual things
already, doesn't she?  Did you put her up to this?" "Yes to most of that
but the Charley thing is, well Charley said to me that she was too
embarrassed to ask her mother about these things and asked if I could help
her, I suggested she ask her best friend and that's what she did when we
went shopping with Stella" "You are devious, but I love you for more
reasons now, how are they getting on?" "They are fine" Ellen yawned and
rolled off me and I plopped out of her, she stretched and she turned over,
I spooned into her back put an arm round her and held a breast, she put her
hand over mine and that's how we fell asleep.
