I was staked out, it was a warm dry day, there are voices,
"There he is, and he looks asleep." Suddenly there is a
searing pain in my balls; they are trying to emasculate me.
"Roy, Roy." My arm is being gently shaken. I open my
eyes. I realise I have turned on my side and that is why there
are searing pains in my balls. I have got sweat pouring down
my face,
"Would you like your painkillers," a nurse is asking.
"Oh yes," I had just caught the operation site with my leg. "I
was dreaming and thought I was being castrated."
"Oh dear, never mind these will help you." I swallow the
tablets gratefully and have a drink. The nurse says you have
some visitors, lets help you to sit up and we will tidy your
bed. As I sit up I see Natalie in the door of my room, she is
looking quite worried. She comes in and sits down after
giving me a kiss.
"What's the matter darling you were crying out, no no and
you were struggling."
"Oh that, I was having a nightmare, I had been staked out
and someone was castrating me."
"Oh no darling that's terrible."
"I had caught my balls with my leg and that gave the pain
that triggered the dream."
"I have just popped in on my way home, they said 10
minutes now, and then come in this evening when he is more
awake, he is still be affected by the anaesthetic."
"They are not far wrong, at the moment I am feeling very
sleepy." I opened my eyes again, "sorry darling did I doze
off."
"That's all right Roy." I looked at my darling I could see a
blazer, white blouse and tie, for a few moments I wondered
why she was in school uniform, then I remembered,
"How was your exam today, I hope you weren't worrying to
much about me."
"A little darling, I think I have done all right. The important
thing is has your operation been successful,"
"Well the nurse didn't say anything specific but she said Mr
Forsythe was happy with it."
My eyes were drooping again Natalie stood up and kissed
me, "I brought something with me to give you a treat," she
looked down, my eyes followed and there below her navy
miniskirt was a pair of brilliant white socks,
"Thank you darling they look a treat." She walked out of the
room and a minute later the nurse came back in,
"I will help you to lay down, your daughter said she would
be in after 6:30 and to say she was bringing your tea in."
"Actually staff, that was not my daughter. That was Natalie,
my fiancée; we are getting married on the 9th of august."
"Well all I can say is she looks a lovely girl."
"Oh she is." I closed my eyes and fell asleep. I woke up at
6:15 as the assistant brought me my coffee.
"Staff nurse said that your fiancée was bringing some tea in
for you so I have put a plate and cutlery on your over bed
table which is just to the side here. Lets help you sit up,"
"Thank you." I sat there drinking my coffee My balls were a
lot less painful now, I looked under the covers and they were
bright red with the antiseptic and I could see two blue ends
of the stitches. They looked quite swollen. Not surprising
really they had been operated on. I put my cup down and
saw Natalie approaching my door.
"Hello darling,"
"Oh you look a lot better now; I wondered how you would
be after seeing you this afternoon, you looked really rough."
Natalie gave me a kiss and then said. "I have brought you
some tea. I picked the salad 15 minutes before I left." "I
made the mayonnaise when I got back from the hospital and
Jerry carved the ham for me." Whilst she was saying this she
was laying the salad on my plate. There was quite a bit left
over. I set to eating the salad with relish, there had been a
salad for tea but I doubt if it was as tasty as this. The nursing
assistant came back in to see if I wanted more coffee and to
offer Natalie a cup. Natalie asked Lucy if she would like a
taste of salad and home cured ham, Natalie folded a slice of
bread and filled it with a slice of ham, lettuce, tomato and
cucumber and gave it to Lucy. She bit into it. The expression
on her face was a picture.
"Oh that is gorgeous, where did you get it." Natalie
explained that all of it except the bread was grown on my
estate. Natalie finished off the salad by making sandwiches
for the staff. She covered the plate with film to keep them
moist. I asked Lucy to tell the other staff that there were
some sandwiches to taste. Natalie had stayed in her school
uniform and I kept peeping, she looked stunning. For the
next half hour nurses were coming into my room and having
a sandwich. They all wanted to have seconds and thirds, but
Natalie wouldn't let them. It was about 7:30 when the sister
came round on hand-over she was giving the night staff the
information on us. There were fewer staff on then there were
4 covering the 12 patients.
"So this is where my staff have been going, are you trying to
poach them?" I looked at the plate and saw there were 5
sandwiches left.
"Well sister you can see for yourself," they all took a
sandwich and sisters' face was a picture.
"I see why they were raving over these sandwiches;" she
turned to Natalie and asked her where she had got the
makings from.
"The bread came from the bakers in the village and all the
rest was grown on the estate, the ham was also cured there.
The salad was still in the ground or on the bush two hours
ago."
" Now I know why the staff have been raving over a
sandwich!" Sister led the nurses out laughing. I turned to
Natalie,
"Well darling you have made a hit with them all. It seems
the way to a nurse's heart is through her taste buds." 10
minutes later I saw Nicky and Becky come in with Jerry.
"I brought them in for the last 15 minutes as they wanted to
see you but I knew that too much visiting would tire you
tonight."
" Natalie's food went down a storm, there was plenty left
over and she made ¼ sandwiches for all the staff. I have
made friends for life; well it is cupboard love really." The
last 15 minutes of visiting flew by, Natalie gave me a big
kiss and said she was going to have a quick word with the
staff nurse, Nicky and Becky stayed behind for a few
minutes, I think they were reassuring themselves as to my
well being. Then they left with Jerry.
"Ring me tomorrow when they have told you when you can
go."
I lay back on my pillows, I was exhausted, I knew the
anaesthetic was the cause of my tiredness. Staff nurse came
back into my room,
"Lets sort you out," as she sat me forward and then helped
me to lie down again. "I had a lovely little chat with your
fiancée, I am sorry if I embarrassed you by calling her your
daughter."
" Don't worry about that, I am well aware that she is only a
year older than my son, fortunately they get on very well
together, they are best mates and he is pleased that his best
mate is going to be his step mum." "He is in love with
Natalie's sister and will almost certainly be married in 4 ½
years when she is 16."
" So she is only 11! Gosh your family do choose them
young!" She had a huge grin on her face as she said it. She
left me and I fell asleep again. I woke up for the evening
drink, I thought of Natalie at home. I was missing her. I
would definitely miss her when she went home. It was 8
weeks to the wedding. Ah well time would pass.
The next morning the staff were making sure we were all up
and dressed, I had a gentle walk with a nursing assistant to
the bathroom. I was to have a warm saline bath. It washed
the red antiseptic off me and cleaned the wound of dried
blood. The assistant very carefully dried me and helped me
climb into my clean pyjamas; the theatre gown was left to be
taken away. I went back to my room and the papers were
round, I sat very carefully in my chair and started reading.
The tea and coffee came round and then the breakfasts. Staff
brought mine in; she smiled and said,
" Probably not as tasty as you are used to." Ah well it was
food and I should be home for lunch. I was sitting reading in
my chair when the consultant came round with his staff,
" How are you feeling Mr McGarvy? Comfortable I hope?"
" I am just a little uncomfortable."
" Only to be expected," as he said this he was examining me,
"right that looks fine, now put on the support strap and wear
it for the next 7 days, you have a spare there. Well you are
doubtless wanting to know how the operation went, I am
pleased to tell you it went very smoothly, I have every
expectation that there will be a satisfactory result and that
you will be able to have more children." "Your GP will
follow you up and I will see you in 3 months after you have
sent in the samples. I would suggest that you refrain from
sex until next Wednesday." "That is after your stitches have
dissolved and your GP is happy with the wound. I always
say that, but the record was the same afternoon. It must have
hurt him." Mr Forsythe said that I was free to go as soon as
the appointments were booked. As he left the room I picked
up my phone and rang Jerry,
"Ok I am free to go, I had breakfast here, I don't want lunch
here to." He laughed,
"On my way." I shut my door and got changed, packed my
bags and went off in search of a cup of coffee. I was out of
luck they had just started cleaning the filter machine, Roy if
you go back to your room I will go into the staff area and
make you a cup. I went back to my room and 5 minutes later
Staff came back with a tray with 2 coffees and a diary. Here
is the coffee and lets book your appointment and sign you
out. I sat there enjoying a much tastier coffee, I commented
on it. So it should be, it is Mr Forsythe's private stock. I
smiled. Jerry and Natalie arrived, Natalie was looking older
today in a summer dress and sandals, Jerry picked up my
case and I went via the nursing station. The staff nurse was
at the desk I said goodbye and gave a present for all the staff.
I suggested they put it in the fridge, it was a freshly cooked
ham,
" I hope you enjoy it." I said my good byes, the staff nurse
then said to Natalie,
" Take care of him." I walked out into the summer sunshine.
The support bandage was taking the strain, but I wouldn't
fancy running for a bus. Jerry had brought my range rover,
as it would be more comfortable than his land rover. We got
home by 10:30 Nat and I walked in and Jerry got the case
out of the boot. Dawn was in the kitchen, I saw you coming
up the drive so I have put the kettle on. I'll bring the coffee
through. I sat down very carefully and Natalie curled up
besides me. Jerry came through,
"How were Nicky and Becky, did they get off to school all
right?" Only after I had phoned the hospital to check on you.
"I had some fun yesterday, after you left in the afternoon
Natalie, the staff nurse complimented me on my daughter!"
Natalie exploded in laughter, there were tears running down
her cheeks, "well you had come in your school uniform
complete with white socks,"
" I have a confession to make about that, I went into the
ladies at the hospital and rolled my skirt up and then put the
socks on for you."
" Oh you are so kind darling, to be honest it made my day
and probably every other males day."
Dawn came through from the kitchen with a tray of coffees
we sat down and talked, about the trout farm, Bert's new
cottage. How the sales of cheese and butter were going, how
the stables were,
"Stables darling?"
" Yes didn't I tell you?"
" No it's the first I have heard of them."
"They are the other side of the valley. Beyond where the fish
farm will be. There were three fields that were absolute
rubbish for livestock or crops, We put a stable block up
down there and I employ a couple of instructors and some
grooms, they have quite a livery section plus an active riding
school, The valley school of equitation."
"Lisa is the instructor isn't she Roy?"
" How did you know that?"
"Well I went for riding lessons up to last October when other
things started to interest me. I never knew you owned it."
"I go riding occasionally but it will be a while before I get in
the saddle again. Nicky used to ride as well."
" Becky still goes sometimes. Money has been a bit tight
recently as the company dad works for seems to have some
problems, I don't know what but it is things I have
overheard."
" Thanks for telling me that love."
" If you want to go riding I will just ring Lisa up and you
will be able to go as often as you like. That's you and Becky.
Would you all like to go this afternoon?"
" Well Becky and I certainly would, you know Nicky,"
" Ok I will just give her a ring and perhaps Dawn could take
you home to collect your riding gear."
" Oh yes please Roy."
" Would you Dawn?"
" No problem." As Dawn and Natalie left I phoned Lisa and
checked about riding this afternoon for my fiancée.
"Yes that will be no problem,"
"You do know Natalie Davies she used to come to you for
lessons with her sister Becky," I held the phone from my ear
as Lisa screamed down the phone,
"Are you marrying that Natalie Davies? I know her, Oh Roy
I assumed it was the same name different person. Oh I am so
pleased for her, she is a lovely girl and it's so sad they had to
give up riding because of her father's financial problems.
There were problems at work according to Becky. Natalie is
a good rider but Becky is absolutely superb."
" Lisa stop there, can you come up to the house when Natalie
Becky and Nicky are at the riding school, as I want to talk to
you about all that?"
" Of course Roy."
" I would come down to you but I am very sensitive at the
moment I had surgery yesterday."
"Jerry, that's interesting, I might have a new software
consultant and manager for the company. It seems Dick has
financial problems due to problems at the company he works
for. A little digging may be very profitable for both of us. I
think I might get Natalie to help me check some things out
about her parents. I knew there was something wrong but
they never let on."
" Well they wouldn't would they?"
"Oh I can understand, but I want to help them. Just a thought
Roger may well have handled their house sale so he would
know the mortgage company, give me that phone, a quick
phone call." "Hello Roger just a quick one to start with, did
you handle the purchase of Richard Davies house when they
moved,"
" One moment I will check, yes I have it on the screen."
"Right can you contact the mortgage company and check
how they are doing,"
"I can do it but I need to know why."
"It is like this, my father in law to be, Dick, is having
problems with the company he works for, he has got
financial problems and he is in hospital after an accident in
Cardiff. If there are problems I want to sort them out."
"All right Roy, I'll ring you back; give me half an hour."
Dawn and Natalie came back then and said that they were
going to prepare lunch now.
"Yes Roy, Dawn is going to help to teach me to cook
properly."
" Ok love, Jerry and I will carry on with our work. Are we
any further with Bert's house? I know we can't do anything
about the trout farm till the council give the all clear. Is there
anything else I need to deal with?"
"Nothing that I can think of, everything is turning over
smoothly." "It will be good if we can get a good manager in
the main company, then he or she can take some of the
administration off me and I can get back to what I enjoy;
farming."
"All right Jerry I get the message. I will find you a new
manager." Natalie came through,
"Lunch is on the table, home made Pizza and before you ask
not everything is home made."
" Ah shucks, I feel hard done by." I was just about to sit
down when the phone rang, it was Roger I walked back to
the lounge and continued, thank heavens for cordless
phones.
"You must have second sight the second warning letter has
gone out; they are 3 months in arrears."
" Right what I want you to do is pay that mortgage off in
full. Use the company account for the moment; we can sort
out the transfers later. Do you need it in writing or will an e-
mail do."
" Don't bother Roy, I will prepare the document and bring it
round for you to sign. I will get one of the clerks to take the
cheque round to the building society this afternoon and get
that sorted."
"See you later Roger. Bye."
I went back to the dining room,
"Sorry about that, an urgent problem had come up and I
needed to deal with it." I tucked in to the pizza; it was
delicious. Dawn had made rhubarb fools for our dessert just
what was needed to round off lunch. After lunch I said that I
needed a lie down, Natalie came up with me and I crashed
out on the bed. I pulled Natalie to me and we kissed and
cuddled.
"When is your next exam?"
"Friday mid-morning."
" Oh good we have a free day tomorrow. I am going to miss
you when you go home."
" So are Becky and I as well. Home hasn't been much fun
recently with dad being grumpy. I think it is something to do
with that company in Cardiff,"
" Well if it is I am looking out for someone who can
organise software development and look after the
administration of my group of companies. I am thinking
about your dad. I know your parents have got financial
worries; I got Roger to check out the state of play with the
mortgage. It was in arrears and the second warning letter had
gone out."
" Oh no poor mum and dad, what can they do."
" It's all right love. Roger is sending a cheque round this
afternoon to pay off the mortgage; I can't have my wife to be
upset by the problems of a company in Cardiff." "Hey there
you don't need to wash my shirt with your tears." I kissed
her face, licking away her tears. I lay back on the pillows
and held Natalie tight. It wasn't long before we had both
dozed off. Becky and Nicky charging in to our room woke
us up.
"Hi dad good to see you back again."
" How do you two fancy going horse riding with Natalie,"
Becky nearly went through the ceiling with excitement.
"Yes please," Nicky looked at Becky's excitement and
agreed as well.
"Becky your riding tack is in your room," "Nicky I suspect
that you will need to get some new jodhpurs and boots,
check yours out and if they don't fit get some new ones from
the stables." "Becky and Natalie if any of your gear doesn't
fit, Lisa will sort you out as well."
" Becky we are going to the valley school of riding,"
" But that's where we used to go."
" Yes I know; Roy owns it!" They quickly changed into their
riding clothes. Nicky and Becky both needed new jodhpurs,
Becky also needed to replace her body armour and have her
helmet adjusted. They put their shorts on and Becky carried
her body protector and they all set off for the riding school. I
went back downstairs.
Jerry and Dawn were in the family room, Jerry said,
"It feels strange having a day off like this."
"Heck you deserve it."
"Roy I don't want to tell tales but I think Nicky and Becky
slept together last night, when I went up to wake them they
were both in Nicky's room."
"It's all right Jerry they would have slept together, Becky
has just started on the pill. Until she has her next period they
are using condoms."
"Oh I was worried as to whether I should tell you."
"I'm glad you did, it shows you care about them. It surprised
me the first time I saw them in bed together,"
"I am glad that they were sensible enough to take
precautions."
"To right, Becky doesn't need a baby at her age." There was
a ring at the doorbell, Jerry got up and answered the door, it
was Roger,
"I have the receipt from the building society. Paid in full and
here is the letter authorising me to make that payment." I
quickly signed it.
"There all legal again. I am glad that is sorted. Louise and
Dick have enough on their plate with this accident."
"Is that something I should be dealing with?"
"Almost certainly, I will retain you to start getting the facts.
Dick should be back next week so you will be able to take
details then. It happened in Cardiff."
"Well I had better get back to work,"
"Now hang on Dawn has just prepared a cup of tea, oh and I
can see some cake, so come and be civilised. It's nearly
finishing time anyway." The phone rang and Jerry picked it
up,
"It's Louise, she sounds upset." I took the phone,
"Hello Louise;" there was the sound of tears, then a couple
of sniffs.
"Oh Roy I don't know what to do now, They took Dicks
sling off his arm this morning, it hurt him to move it, but
anyway they got Dick up on his feet and when he put weight
on his left arm it bent! In the middle of his upper arm! What
they thought was a bad sprain has turned out to be a fracture.
He is in theatre now having it set,"
"Louise hang up and I will ring you straight back, this
sounds like it will be a long call." I hung up and then rang
her back. "Louise tell Roger what you have just told me. I
will call my GP and see what we can organise."
"Roger, Louise needs your professional advice take your
notepad and talk to her." I picked up my mobile phone and
phoned the surgery I got through to Dave and told him what
had happened. "Dick is in theatre now, can you arrange for
him to be transferred to the Nuffield as soon as possible?
After what's happened today I don't trust that hospital,
someone boobed badly. Call me back as soon as you know
please. I'll pay for his care and treatment." Roger was still
talking so I went through to the kitchen and picked up the
cordless there and listened in. when Roger had all the details
I joined in and told Louise that Dave was arranging for Dick
to be transferred to the Nuffield as soon as possible.
"Roy we can't afford the Nuffield,"
"I know but I can and will, it will be better for Natalie to
have her dad in the same town so I am paying. Oh and
Louise I know about your financial problems I know about
the problems with your mortgage."
"HOW."
"Well I own the valley school of riding; I employ a riding
instructor to run it. I was talking with her about Natalie and
Becky as they were going down there this evening, in fact
they are there now with Nicky. Lisa said that it was sad
Becky had to stop riding because of financial problems. I got
Roger to check with the building society and he took a
cheque round this afternoon. I have the receipt here paid in
full. Your mortgage is paid off. Oh and Natalie told me
about what she had overheard Dick saying about his
employer. I need a software engineer and administrator. I
think Dick is the man for the job." There was no reply, all I
could hear was Louise crying. It took 5 minutes for Louise to
regain control of her voice. In the meantime my mobile rang.
Roger answered it. It was a matter of minutes and then he
was picking up the other extension,
"Louise, the Nuffield will be in contact with the hospital
tonight and if the operation was successful they will bring
Dick back by ambulance tomorrow." I said to Jerry.
"They are fetching him tomorrow, Louise is not very happy
driving could you take my van down with the dolly and
bring Louise and car back here."
" Of course Roy, no problem."
" Louise, Jerry will be down with you tomorrow to bring you
back home and put your car on the dolly. You speak to him
and tell him where you are staying."
"Why are you doing all this for us Roy?"
"Well apart from anything else I will get a damned good
employee. The other reason is that you will shortly be my in
laws and I could not sit back and let my wife to be's parents
go down the tube when all I have to do is write a cheque."
" Yes but a cheque for £80,000 is more than just a little."
"I think you need to have a little talk with Natalie, but as you
will only worry until then I will tell you myself, this has to
be totally confidential. I will tell Dick what I am telling you
myself when he gets back here. Natalie is now a signatory to
accounts worth over £5 million and that doesn't include my
companies, which she will become part owner of on our
wedding day. I am not short of a bob or two, so how could I
short-change my family?"
"Roy I can hardly believe what you have just told me."
"When you get back you can stay here till Dick is out of
hospital. I have got rooms to spare or if you would prefer,
the girls can stay here and you can come for meals and sleep
in your own home. That way you can concentrate on Dick
and the girls will be happy here. They are really enjoying
themselves, even more so now they have discovered the
riding school. Lisa tells me that Natalie is very good and
Becky is superb. We will have to see what regular tuition
does for them."
"But Roy that is so expensive."
"STOP WORRYING about costs. I own the riding school
don't I, it doesn't cost me."
"I can understand you doing it for Natalie but Becky as
well?"
"Look I don't know how to put this but if it were legal
Becky would marry Nicky today. I rather suspect that she
will be my daughter in law as well as my sister in law a
couple of days after her 18th birthday and if you give
permission, on her 16th birthday."
"Oh Roy so much has happened since the party."
"Yes you could say that. Anyway to recap, Roger will be
investigating a medical negligence claim against the
hospital, and looking into the original accident. Jerry will
pick you and the car up tomorrow, he can also bring back all
of your personal belongings from the flat as I don't think
Dick will be staying there again. And you will come back
here for tea and decide whether you will be going to your
own house or staying here."
"Roy I am pretty sure I will stay at home, I will feel more
comfortable with my own things around me but if the girls
could stay with you it would make life much easier for me."
"Of course they can, when you speak to Dick tell him I have
a job waiting for him. He will be able to start working from
home."
"Oh Roy I feel so much better now. Before I rung, I had
been dreading the future, the mortgage was the worst, the
way things were going we would have lost the house,"
"Well that can't happen now. I will tell the girls the news, if
you want to ring after tea you can talk to them." After I rung
off I took the phone back to the kitchen. Dawn was busy
preparing our evening meal,
"I could get used to this, want another job."
"Well not really full time but it is nice to cook for more than
2 occasionally." "If you are serious about having a cook; one
of my friends, Rachel, is looking for a new job and she is an
excellent cook."
"Well invite her down and I will give her a tryout. If she is
good I will organise accommodation for her, does she have
any family,"
"Yes she has 14-year-old twins a boy and a girl."
"Well if Robert would like to move into Bert's house,
because he is an agricultural worker, when it is free then
Rachel could move in to Roberts house, which is not
restricted. She would need to start before September as her
children will be starting their GCSE coursework."
"She could move in with us until the house was ready for her
said Dawn."
"Right invite her down as soon as she can. I will have a word
with the headmaster and see if I can get her into the school
and if they come down for a school day then if the school
can take them, then they can sort out the options."
"Well Roy I am sure that there will be no problem with
Robert moving, as you treat the staff so well they try to help
you, and Robert would know that Rachel could only move
into his old house." Dawn called for Jerry to come through,
"Would it be ok for me to invite Rachel down this weekend
to stay with us, she will be having an interview with Roy
about becoming the cook here."
"No problem tell her to bring the twins as well."
"I was going to as Roy is going to try and sort out their
schooling on the Monday if she is suitable. Roy can I ring
her?"
"Of course you can." Dawn picked up the phone.
"Hi Rachel are you still looking to get a new job and are you
still interested in being a cook?"
"Yes of course I am."
"Right can you come down on Friday night with Alex and
Ruth as I have an interview for a job for you, it is with my
boss, he is getting married in August and he can probably get
the twins into his son's school, as he is a governor there. He
will speak with the headmaster and if all goes well he will
take you in on Monday with the twins to sort out their
options for their GCSE's. He is just whispering to me that
they would be able to go in the taxi with his son and wife to
school."
"Is she a teacher then?"
"No she will be in the 6th form."
"That would be marvellous. Yes I will be there."
"He wants to have a word with you."
" Rachel it's Roy here, what I would like you to do for your
interview is come up from Dawns with the twins for 8:00 in
the morning and prepare breakfast for me, my fiancée and
you and the children, that's 7 of us. Then to prepare lunch
that would probably be for 8 as my mother in law to be will
probably be here, then afternoon tea and then cook an
evening meal. I know it is a long day and normally you
would not be expected to cover the whole day but this way I
will be able to judge all aspects of your work. If you want,
your twins can go around with my 15 year old son, his 11-
year-old girlfriend and my 16-year-old fiancée. They will
probably go riding if your twins want to join them. If you do
come to work for me I hope that your twins will become
friends with Nicky and Becky. I will give you warning that
this is not a conventional home, I am 50 and my wife died
last January. I am remarrying on the 9th of August. I look
forward to seeing you on the 21st if you talk with Dawn she
will tell you about what is available from the farm." I handed
the phone back to Dawn and went through to the lounge.
Roger was preparing to leave having made notes on all he
had discussed with Louise and I.
"To think I thought I would have a quiet afternoon. Do you
ever stand still? You came out of hospital this morning and
you have been on the go ever since. What you have done in
the last 45 minutes is unbelievable; you just fizz."
I was just sitting down with a coffee when the back doorbell
rang, it was Lisa, I went through to the kitchen, as Lisa was
fresh from the stables. I poured her a coffee and we sat at the
breakfast bar.
"Now tell me how they are doing."
"Nicky is a competent rider, probably not really good
enough for competition as he stands but if he takes up riding
properly I would re-assess in 6 months." "Natalie is in a
similar position." "Becky however is superb, even though
she has not been riding with me for 9 months she has not lost
any of her skill. Her horsemanship is out of this world. 5
years time she could turn professional, heck the only reason
she can't turn professional now is her age and the fact she
has to go to school. If she can compete over this season there
are no reasons, skills wise, why she should not take part in
the Olympics next year. It would be a rush, as she would
need a couple of horses; and to train with them." "Roy I
want to bring her on, she is a natural."
" Lisa this weekend can you work with them there may be
two more a boy and a girl as well, I am interviewing their
mother to be my cook. Then if you think she is good enough
and she and her parents want to try I want you then to buy
the horses and work your butt off, I will get another
instructor for the school but your responsibility would be
training Becky and the horses."
" Oh Roy it would be a dream come true to bring a rider to
Olympic standard, if we don't make 2004 she will definitely
make 2008 and she would still be only 16 years old. As a 16-
year-old competitor she will make the commentators drool
as a 12 year old they would go crazy." "It has never been
done; I will have to try her on a full size horse tomorrow.
She would have to be able to handle a horse rather than a
pony for the Olympics."
" Go away now and do your research, see what Becky is
capable of and then we will see what they say at the
weekend. If it is go, then it is horse-hunting time." Lisa left
to go back to the stables; Natalie and the kids would be back
shortly. What a day. I flopped down in the recliner in the
lounge and put my feet up. Jerry looked at me and said,
"Can I have some of your energy, just watching you today
has exhausted me and I haven't had a general anaesthetic
and operation." I just sat there quietly inspecting the insides
of my eyelids.
"Dad you should have seen her, she's great!" I opened my
eyes slowly.
"Hello son who is great, who should I have seen?"
"Becky dad, she just lifts those horses over the jumps. At the
end Lisa brought out her own horse. He was huge; she lifted
Becky up into the saddle, as he was too tall for her to climb
up and adjusted the stirrups. Becky just took off with him,
over all the jumps as if they weren't there. Then Lisa and 3
of the staff went around and raised all the fences, one was
over 6 foot high. Lisa led Becky and Sampson round the
course, looking at all the fences and then Becky jumped
clear. I don't think I would want to try that on a new horse
and the ponies wouldn't make it over those fences." Becky
was standing there, still wearing the body protector; she had
a beatific smile on her face.
"Did you enjoy that?"
"Oh yes Roy, it was wonderful. Lisa says we can go back
tomorrow, can we."
"Of course you can darling." "Did you enjoy yourself
Natalie?"
"Yes Roy, I had forgotten how good it was to lift a horse
over the fences. I was aware of how much I have forgotten
though. A lot came back."
"You had better get cleaned up, as food will be on the table
shortly." Becky came down having had a shower wearing
one of my t-shirts. Her hair was wet and hanging down over
her bust, the cotton soon showed her nipples. She twisted her
hair into a ponytail and slipped a rubber band off her wrist
and onto her hair. As she sat down I realised she had no
knickers on. All she was wearing was my shirt. Nicky
followed soon after, he had dressed properly, well shirt and
shorts. He was admiring his girlfriend's show; he then went
over and sat on the sofa next to her. Natalie was the last one
down in a cool summer dress; she padded across the floor
with bare feet. She came and sat on the arm of my chair.
"Whilst we are waiting I will give you the news." "It turns
out that your dad's sprained left arm is snapped in two, they
missed it. They only found out when he used the crutches
today and his arm bent where it was not supposed to. They
have operated on it and all being well he should be
transferred to the Nuffield tomorrow." "Jerry is going to
fetch your mum and the car back. Your mum will be coming
here for meals and sleeping at home and you two will be
staying for the foreseeable future." Becky was bouncing
around the room with excitement. Nicky and Natalie were
not far behind.
"Oh Roy that's great, I am sorry about dad but to stay here is
great,"
"Well you will have someone else here on Saturday, Alex
and Ruth, 14 year old twins. I am interviewing their mum for
cook here."
"You're employing a cook dad?"
"Yes I am. I have enjoyed the luxury of sitting down to a
meal that I haven't had to cook today, Dawn's friend wants a
job as a cook, I will have a spare cottage shortly so why
not." After supper Jerry and Dawn went back to their
cottage. Natalie and Nicky cleaned up in the kitchen and I
went up to lie on my bed, it had been an exhausting day.
Natalie came up and had a shower, she walked through to
my bed completely nude,
"Well I can no longer fall pregnant, my period finished
today, it started on Monday afternoon. Becky has had her
period as well so Nicky can stop using the condoms. I think
he will like that. I think Becky will like it as well. However,
she will have to get used to leaking. That is a small price to
pay Roy for the pleasure gained." I nuzzled up to Natalie's
tits; they were still very small, just saucer shapes on her
chest, the nipples were sensitive though, pointing out and up,
reaching for seduction. I bent my head down and engulfed
the nipple in my mouth, I nibbled on the nipple, pulling and
stretching with my teeth. God I loved this girl so much. All I
wanted was to be with her I trailed my hand across her taut
tummy, her skin twitched as my fingers tickled her. I
approached her cunt, so smooth and bare. The hairs that had
been growing on Monday had gone;
"You used your electrolysis kit yesterday."
"Yes I got Becky and Nicky to do it. They took every hair
away; if you look under my arms you will see that they are
smooth too." I looked and they were. I looked more carefully
all the small hairs on her body were gone.
"That must have taken some time."
" It did but my skin feels so smooth."
"I wonder what I would look like with no hair?" I looked
down at my body, covered in dark hair.
"Tell you what Roy; I have some hair removing cream from
before I got the electrolysis kit. If we use that on you it
won't take that long for the hair to grow back. If you like it
we can then use the electrolysis on you."
"Take some pictures of me with the digital camera. Then we
can take some more after and see what we like." Natalie
went to her bedside cupboard and took out the hair removing
cream. She started on my chest with the scissors as my hair
was so long, then she applied the hair remover, then into the
bathroom to get a roll of tissue. I was lying there with a
creamy chest when Becky and Nicky walked in,
"What are you doing?" Natalie walked through from the
bathroom and said,
"Removing his body hair."
"Can we help?"
" Of course you can." Becky used the scraper to remove the
cream and my hair and wiped it on the tissue that Nicky
held. Natalie set to applying cream to the next areas. It soon
became a smooth job if you will pardon the expression. It
appeared to be only a short time before the front of my body
was clear of hair. I rolled over on to a towel and they started
on my back, finally,
"There we are all done." I went through to the shower and
got in, I had hardly got the water on when they all joined me.
It was a bit of a squeeze getting in the water spray but we
managed, the shower had been designed as a wet floor
shower, if anyone was in a wheelchair they could use it.
However, it meant that I had lots of room. It had been put in
when Sue had the accident that left her on crutches for the
rest of her life. The three of them made sure my body was
well soaped, Natalie took extreme care when it came to
washing my balls, she inspected the wound and looked at the
stitches. She gave it a gentle kiss; there I have kissed it better
for you. Finally they dried me. The first thing I noticed was
the towel didn't get so wet as there was no hair to hold the
water. I looked at myself in the mirror, it was so strange to
see white skin, I was used to seeing a mat of hair. I could see
my muscles play beneath my skin as I walked back to my
bedroom.
" You look tasty Roy." I lay back down on my bed and the
three of them came over. I started to kiss Natalie and then
Becky joined in she kissed her way down my body and back
up her sisters body. Nicky was kissing Natalie, Becky then
kissed her way back down my body, she gently took my
penis in her mouth and suckled on it. The sensation of a
small hot mouth engulfing my cock was out of this world. I
watched as Natalie and Nicky got the KY jelly and smeared
it around their fingers Nicky inserted his fingers into
Becky's cunt, first 3 fingers then 4 and finally the entire fist.
As the fourth finger entered Becky released my cock. Nicky
was fisting his lover. Natalie then lifted Becky's leg out of
the way and started to feed her fingers into her sisters bum,
four went in fairly easily as she folded her thumb inside the
palm of her hand you could see the stretching taking place.
Finally all her hand was inside. Becky's head was thrown
back and she was crying out with pleasure. As Nicky's hand
pulled out Natalie's hand pushed in. Becky was just having a
continuous orgasm, her cries were a delight to hear, cries of
joy and pleasure.
Natalie then stopped her pistoning inside Becky's bum and
leant across and took my cock in her mouth, she sucked hard
and then slid her lips down to the base of my cock. She
bobbed up and down, her tongue swirled around the head I
could not hold out any longer the cum pumped up my cock
filling Natalie's mouth with my seed. She was gulping down
my seed, as she failed to keep pace with it the excess trickled
down from her lips. All the while Nicky was still pumping
his fist into his 11-year-old girlfriend, her body was in a
constant spasm, it was one orgasm after another. He reached
up and played with her nipples, her orgasm intensified, her
head was thrashing about, her blonde pony tail flying
whipping from side to side. Her hands were clenching and
unclenching, I wondered how much her young body could
take. Natalie moved away from my cock and took her sisters
nipple in her mouth she sucked the breast into her mouth.
Her cheeks collapsed as she sucked. Becky screamed in
pleasure and then her body relaxed, her head flopped, her
arms lay loose on the bed her knees flopped sideways, all
muscle tone had gone. Natalie released her nipple and Nicky
withdrew his hand from her cunt. They went through to the
bathroom, and washed their hands and wrists free of the KY
jelly. Then Nicky brought a bowl of warm water and some
flannels. Nicky started to wash his girlfriend, her cunt was
slowly closing her bum was closed. Natalie washed my cock
and balls very tenderly. Natalie turned to Nicky and took the
washcloth from him she cupped his balls and kissed him. I
nodded my head to her and she lay on her back and drew my
son to her, his cock slowly penetrated my fiancée. Then
gently he fucked her Natalie was already aroused and it
didn't take much to bring her levels of excitement to a peak.
She had her orgasm as Nicky released his seed into her cunt.
There was a look of astonishment on his face. It had been the
first time he had sex without a condom. I looked at my bed
with Becky sprawled across it, Nicky shook her to try and
wake her. She was out cold her body just flopped as he
shook it.
"Nat you will either have to sleep in the spare room or with
Nicky I don't think Becky is going anywhere tonight." I
closed my eyes Natalie kissed me good night and I was
asleep before they were out of the door. I woke up at 5 o
clock the Dawn light was illuminating the room and I was
conscious of a need to go to the toilet. I got out of bed and
went into the bathroom; I had started to pee when I heard a
footfall behind me. Becky dropped to her knees and took my
cock in her hand she stuck a finger in my stream took it out
and licked. I looked down in astonishment. There was a
funny look on her face. She played the stream around the
toilet bowl then released me and went to the sink and washed
her mouth with mouthwash.
"I have read about it, I can now say I have tasted it but I
don't think I want to repeat it." We walked back to my bed
and I got in and lay down whilst Becky sat cross-legged on
the covers.
" Are you feeling all right Becky?"
"Yes Roy a little bit sore front and back."
"Do you remember what happened?"
"Not really, what did happen?"
"Well Nicky fisted your cunt, Natalie fisted your bum and
you had orgasm after orgasm, your head was flying about,
your whole body was spasming and you were crying out and
screaming. After you had finished Natalie and Nicky cleaned
you up to get rid of the KY jelly."
She gently ran her finger over her cunt, "so that is why I feel
a little sore."
"Yes love."
"I have to admit my body feels totally lazy right now."
" Well the thing was they tried to wake you to get you back
to your bed but you were completely out of it that is why you
woke up in my bed."
"Whilst they are both asleep lets go downstairs and have a
drink." We walked down and as I got to the kitchen I saw
our bodies in the hall mirror, it took a few moments to
realise what was strange, I was devoid of hair from my neck
down. I walked into the kitchen and put the kettle onto the
boiling hob, the heat flowed into the kitchen warming us up.
I quickly made some coffee. I sat down in the armchair by
the Aga and Becky sat on the arm, leaning on my shoulder.
"Did you enjoy the riding yesterday?"
"Oh yes Roy it was magic, I had forgotten how much I love
riding. I was sad when dad said we couldn't afford it
anymore."
" Well you wont have to worry about that. Would you like to
take part in the events?"
"Oh yes, I always dream of riding out into the arena.
Everyone looking at me."
"Well if you are good enough we will have to see what you
all can do." Their was a small sound from Becky as she
dropped off to sleep again she snuggled into me and I fell
asleep against her tummy. I heard a small giggle and then a
bright flash went off in my eyes. Natalie was standing there
with my camera. The little minx had photographed us.
"What time is it?"
"You are alright it is only 6:30 I heard your alarm go off and
no movement so I went through, saw you weren't there but
there was the faint aroma of coffee from down here. I have
brought your clothes down for you."
"Thanks love. Your sister did not remember what you and
Nicky had done to her. She is only a little sore."
" Good grief her threshold of pain is a lot higher than mine
then. The first time you fisted me I was bloody sore for
hours afterwards and she took it front and back! Shall I start
the breakfast for us,"
"Yes please love, that sounds like a good idea." I quickly got
dressed then knelt down between Becky's legs and sucked
on her clit.
"Oh that feels good, oops where am I?"
"Hello you little minx, you are fast asleep in my kitchen.
Time for you to get up and get dressed, it is Thursday
morning and you have school today. Up you go and wake
Nicky then both of you be down in 15 minutes for
breakfast." I went out to the bread safe, there was the fresh
bread, I took it in and started cutting, It was so soft that I had
to be careful or I squashed the loaf. I put the tomatoes on and
then prepared the bacon for the grill. It was a lovely routine
cooked breakfast for us all, I don't know about the children
but it set me up for the day. We were sitting eating breakfast
when Jerry arrived,
"I am ready to leave so can I have the keys."
"I will see you later." I watched him go to the garage and
reverse the van out. He then wheeled the dolly out, opened
the back door and lifted it into place. Then off he went.
Nicky and Becky were next to leave. I said to Natalie,
"Lets go round your house, I want to check if there are any
more problems waiting for your mum when she gets home."
We washed up and set off for Nat's home, I picked up the
mail from her floor and looked at it, I could see red letters
from the gas and electricity and the bank and credit card
statements were there. Natalie sat and opened them. The gas
and electric were threats to cut off the gas and electric. The
credit card was at the limit of credit and the bank statement
was showing them seriously overdrawn.
"Have you got your chequebook here so that you can write
the cheques to clear these? Your mum might accept it
better."
"These are my first cheques I have written ever."
"Well I can't think of a better way to break in a new cheque
account than by helping someone else." "We will take these
round this morning so that they will be receipted paid in
full." I looked at the bank statement and realised that there
was no salary payment for last month.
"Natalie do you know where your dad files these?" She took
me to his desk, and I looked through a few statements. His
salary was being paid in 5 or 6 days later each month. His
salary was at least a month in arrears, no wonder he was in
such a mess. I went back a year and realised that his pay had
been decreasing month on month. How far did this mess
stretch? I had always known Dick to be a careful man. I had
worried about why he was in such a financial mess. This
reassured me that it was not of his causing. In fact he had
done very well to keep his head above water so long as he
had. I collected all the statements and looked for his work
file. I found it, there were no letters but a pad with notes on,
people he had spoken to promises to get his pay up to date,
excuses why it hadn't been done. Reading through the pad I
estimated that his salary was actually two months in arrears
and they had underpaid him by £25,000 it must be over
£30,000 in total, I would give this to Roger to sort out.
Now we had all the bills, cheques and the evidence of
problems with his salary Natalie and I set off for town. We
called in to see Jo and paid him for the party, then it was to
the gas and electricity company and then on to the bank.
Finally all the bills were paid. I had paid enough into the
bank to clear the overdraft and give a buffer until Dick's first
salary cheque from me went in. I asked them to prepare a
statement that would show the new state of affairs that I
could give to Louise when she arrived. We called in at
Roger's; we had to wait 10 minutes as he was with a client.
His secretary brought us coffee and said that he was having
his lunch break after the client he was with. It would be an
early lunch 12:00. The client left and then Roger came out.
"Come in, come in," we picked up our cups and went into
his office. I told him about Dick's problems with his
employer. I gave him the dossier of statements, pay slips and
the record of phone calls.
"Let's take this to lunch and see what's what." We went over
to the hotel and we were seated almost immediately, the
menu's came and we rapidly ordered. Roger opened the
dossier and flicked through it, I knew from experience that
he was actually reading it all and by the time he got to the
end he knew what was in it.
"Well that is a terrible state of affairs." He pulled out his
phone and got through to his secretary "can you find me the
name of the managing director at Larkins in Cardiff. Then if
you could ring me back." He put his phone down as the food
was brought. We had just finished the first course when the
phone rang it was his secretary, he noted down the name and
phone number and said to us,
"I will phone him after I have eaten." After we had eaten and
the coffee was with us he picked up his phone and dialled
the number. His face changed from happy to stern, you could
see him girding up his loins for battle.
"Mr Larkin please, I am Mr Rogers of Rogers and Gough,
solicitors. I am phoning to ask why has Mr Davies been
underpaid by over £25,000 and why is his salary now being
paid 2 months late."
"You say you have financial problems, does that apply to
your own remuneration payments? are they up to date?
Remember before you answer that I will if necessary request
your salary and remuneration details for court."
"So your salary and remunerations are paid up to date, is
there any reason why Mr Davies salary should not be paid in
full."
"No reason, that's good. Then I expect Mr Davies bank to
tell me tomorrow that the back salary has been paid in and it
is fully up to date." "By 12:30 tomorrow Friday the 20th of
June then. Otherwise I will be seeing you in court. You are
not allowed to hold back salaries."
"If it is not paid by tomorrow I will file a claim for no less
than £60,000 as Mr Davies has had to borrow money, put his
credit rating at risk and if a benefactor had not stepped in
would have lost his house as well. I would suggest that you
make an additional payment to Mr Davies to compensate
him for the expense and the worry you have caused him.
Good-bye."
"I enjoyed that, I should not have had to do it but when a
snob like that continues to draw his full salary when his staff
are not I take grave exception. Once the money has been
cleared I think I might ask Dick for some names of those
who he suspects might also be in arrears." I paid the bill and
we left, Roger to go back to work, Natalie and I to home. I
felt a lot more comfortable today; just the occasional twinge
if I moved awkwardly.
"It will be interesting to see how much Mr Larkin transfers."
We went back into the bank and I saw the manager, it was
very useful to have a large account with them, as they liked
to keep me happy. I showed Mr Finch the dossier about
Dick's salary and explained he was in hospital, but could Mr
Finch notify Mr Rogers of Rogers and Gough as soon as the
transfer is received and for how much. He is professionally
involved, well as a favour he just twisted Mr Larkin's tail.
"That will be no problem. As soon as it comes in I will ring
Mr Rogers."
"Roy if Roger is really Mr Rogers why do you call him
Roger?"
"He cannot stand his real name, Sebastian Copeland Rogers.
So ever since school he has been known as Roger. He won't
answer to Sebastian, Nor Seb. Any way lets go home your
mum should be here soon." We drove home and went into
the house; I sat down in the lounge and put my feet up. It had
been a busy few hours Natalie came through with coffee. It
went down a treat. We were sitting there when I heard the
rumble of the diesel van coming into the yard. It was Jerry
back with Louise. We went out and met them. Jerry said,
" I will unload the car and put the van away, and then I will
come in." I disentangled Natalie from her mum,
"Come on in to the comfort. Natalie can you make your
mum a coffee. Have you had lunch?"
"Yes Jerry stopped and bought us both lunch, he wouldn't
let me pay."
"No I told him to pay, he used a company card. Now stop
worrying." She sat in the chair and I collected the mortgage
receipt and all the other receipts from this morning. Natalie
came in with coffee for all of us. I then gave Louise the
receipts one at a time, starting with the mortgage. By the
time I got to the bank statement Louise was gulping like a
fish. She could not believe that all the debts were paid off.
"That last payment to your bank is a sub on Dicks first
Salary, Though by this time tomorrow there should be a lot
more in there. Roger had words with Dicks boss and Mr
Larkin has been told that if the arrears are not paid back by
12:30 tomorrow he will be taken to court It will be a
minimum of £30,000."
"Oh Roy if you knew how worried I have been these last few
months, I have been robbing Peter to pay Paul. It has been
desperate."
"Well it is all sorted now." Jerry came in from the yard.
"The car is unloaded, the dolly is away and I have left the
van out so we can unload it at Louise's later." "The hospital
said that they expect Dick to arrive at the Nuffield around
4:00 and by the time they have got him settled it would be
teatime, so to go up about 6:30." "Right then Dawn said she
would do tea for you if you have it at about 5:00 you will
then be ready to go to see Dick."
"Talking of Dawn I can see her coming up from the kitchen
garden." "Hello Dawn, all arranged for Rachel tomorrow?"
"Yes Roy I am looking forward to it. I haven't seen her for a
couple of years. I talk every week on the phone but it is not
the same."
" Dawn, we are thinking about tea at 5:00 would that be all
right?"
"Yes that will be fine I will put the joint on in half an hour."
"Forget Natalie, Nicky and Becky they will be riding so I
will probably take them for a pizza or a burger after."
"Don't worry about that I can prepare some pizza and cook it
when they finish."
"Are you sure?"
" I wouldn't offer if I didn't mean it."
The taxi arrived and Nicky and Becky came running in.
"Hi mum you made it then. Is dad here yet?"
" You know he is going to the Nuffield."
" That's where I mean,"
"No they don't expect him to be settled until about 6:30. Are
you going riding tonight,"
"Oh yes we told Lisa we would be down by 4:15 so we are
going to get changed," "are you going Natalie,"
"Yes I think I will. See you later mum."
They all went up stairs I went to the phone and rang Lisa,
"They will be down with you by 4:15, they are just changing
now. Becky's mum will be down at 4:45 to watch for a few
minutes if you can make sure Becky is doing some jumps
then, on Sampson if possible so her mum can see her jump."
I went back into the lounge; we can go down and see them
at about 4:45 I didn't see them yesterday so we can both see
them tonight. I think I will drive down, as I am still a bit
uncomfortable. Natalie came into the lounge in her white
blouse and jodhpurs her hair was plaited and in a net. Her
riding boots gleamed richly black. She walked over to me
and kissed me.
"I will see you later, see you later mum." Becky called
goodbye from the front door she was bouncing with
excitement. I watched them cross the yard and away down
the shortcut.
"You know Roy I still find it difficult seeing her kiss you,
and knowing that she will be your wife in less than 2
months."
" Sorry Louise I cannot control my love."
" I am not blaming you, I think I would feel the same if she
was 18 or 28."
"We should finish the coffee and head down to the riding
school. We will go in the range rover as we can go down the
tracks rather than go right round by the road." We got to the
riding school and I could see Becky riding Sampson. I
walked Louise round to the side so that she could watch
Becky jumping. Lisa had the jumps at full height and Becky
was lifting Sampson over them as if they were kiddy jumps.
She finished the round and saw her mum watching; she
cantered Sampson across and pulled him up in a flurry of
sand, her legs were out of the stirrups and her right leg was
over the horse's shoulders and she was flying to the ground
almost before the horse stopped. She jumped into her mum's
arms and drove all the wind out of her mum as the helmet
and body armour hit her mum's body.
" You came you came."
" That was a very good ride darling, off you go again." I
lifted Becky up and back into the saddle, she trotted back to
Lisa. Lisa then swapped Becky on to a pony and the three of
them went off with an instructor for a hack. Lisa came
across.
"Come into the office for a coffee. The three of us went
across to the riding school offices and sat down.
"Louise I don't know if you understood what you just saw
your daughter do?"
"She jumped some fences?"
"I had better explain, I had set that ring up to match a section
of the arena from the last Olympics, the most technical
section, i.e. the hardest. Your daughter just jumped it clear
on a horse, which, though I love him is not really Olympic
material. That means that your daughter is an outstanding
horsewoman. I spoke with Roy about it yesterday evening
after I had seen her jump; and with your permission I want to
train her and her horses to be good enough for selection for
next years Olympics." "I don't think we really have a chance
for next year as the selection will be taking place at the end
of the year but there is a slight possibility."
"Lisa we couldn't afford the training or the entry fees let
alone a horse or two.
"Roy has already said that he would be willing to sponsor
Becky. All you have to do is approve."
"I will come with you to see Dick about it."
"Yes I would be happy for Becky to try if Dick agrees."
"Ok I will let you know tomorrow Lisa or I could ring you at
home tonight."
"Oh at home please I will be so nervous." Louise and I drove
back up to the house and we had tea. I then took the van and
Louise drove her car to her home. I unloaded the van into the
garage and Louise took her suitcase into the house. I carried
the cool box through that Dawn had given me Milk, cheese,
bacon, eggs, sausages and salad stuff. That should keep you
going. All from Glebe farm. There was a separate bag with a
loaf of bread from the village bakers. That should keep you
going. Louise rang the hospital. Dick was in settled down
and fit for visitors. We drove off in both vehicles. I led to the
hospital It felt strange as I followed the directions to the
ward I had been on. We went in to Dick's room and he was
lying on his bed, looking shattered.
"Hello old man, glad to see you this much nearer home. But
sorry to see your arm plastered as well."
"The orthopod will be reviewing what has been done and
decide on my treatment plan tonight or tomorrow."
"We have got something you will need to think about. Becky
has been up at my riding school yesterday and today after
school, this afternoon your wife saw her jump a specially set
up course. It was the more difficult section of the Sydney
Olympic ring. Your daughter took a full sized horse round it
clear and in a competitive time. My instructor thinks there is
a slim possibility that she could be selected for the Athens
games next year or certainly for the Beijing games in 2008. I
will sponsor her, or more correctly my company will. All her
horses, training fees and competition entries, every thing."
"If you say yes Lisa will be on the phone sourcing the horses
we need tonight."
"Louise is she as good as Roy says."
"Yes love she is, she seems to be a very confident accurate
horsewoman."
"Well all I can say is yes." I picked up the phone in the room
and rang Lisa.
"OK Lisa start looking; we are go for Athens." As I put the
phone down Louise was telling Dick of my machinations
with their bills,
"You know he paid off the mortgage, well Natalie has paid
the gas, the electric and the visa and Roy has paid off the
overdraft at the bank. Roy has paid in what he calls a sub on
your salary as well, and get this, Roger has spoken to Mr
Larkin and your salary arrears should be in the bank by
12:30 tomorrow. I gather Roger gave Mr Larkin a hard
time,"
"It couldn't happen to a more deserving person. They have
screwed us terribly."
"So will you take on the role of software development
manager and group administrator?"
"Well yes Roy I will, I will have to give notice to Larkin's."
"That is no problem, here's the paper and pen and you can
send it once your salary has been paid in." I can plug a
laptop into the phone point here so that you have Internet
access and then you can work from here. I will be happy
with it. Louise can transfer any hard copy, the rest you send
over the net."
"I will feel better about all you have done for me if I can
start repaying you by working."
"Hello staff you can't keep me away can you? May I
introduce you to my future father in law?"
"Not being rude Roy but you look older than him."
"I am 4 years older than him and I am marrying his daughter.
This lady is my future mother in law."
Staff then said, "I met your daughter on Tuesday and I
thought she is a lovely young woman." She then went off
about her business.
"I will be in tomorrow with a laptop for you and some files
to bring you up to speed, I will probably get Jerry to walk
you through them as he has been doing this work in addition
to his own job and he wants out from the paperwork. Louise
I will see you at the rectory. Take care Dick."
I went back home, Natalie was in the family room and
Becky and Nicky were upstairs. I told Natalie what Lisa had
said,
"Yes, that feels right, I enjoy my riding but I am not like
Becky. For her it's a passion. You saw those pictures on her
wall;" I had to admit I hadn't noticed them. "She would love
to compete, call her down." Natalie went to the bottom of the
stairs, Becky, come down a minute. She and Nicky joined us
in the family room.
"Becky, I gather you are really keen on riding?"
" Oh yes Roy,"
"You would like to compete?"
" Oh yes."
"Well Lisa thinks you are good enough to try to be selected
for the Athens Olympics and if there is not time for those,
the Beijing Olympics That is the reason she tried you out on
Sampson. That course you jumped tonight was a copy of part
of the Sydney Olympic course! Lisa is looking for horses for
you now and then we will have to go and look at them. All
being well we should have a trip out on Saturday."
" Oh Roy, do you really mean it?"
"Yes Becky I don't tease, but you will have a lot of work,
every morning before school and every afternoon after
school, then every day during the school holidays, except
when you go on our honeymoon." She grinned at that. "I will
talk to your parents but it might be easier if you live here."
"Oh Roy that would be so good if I could."
"I will talk to your mum tonight, don't you say a word. I
remember how you told them about the honeymoon, before I
had spoken to them about my marriage."
She blushed hotly, "sorry about that Roy, I will remember
this time." The phone rang, it was Lisa.
" I have found a couple of horses, they would like us to see
them on Sunday, would that be all right?"
"Yes that will be fine. Give the details to Natalie tomorrow
night or else come up to the house tomorrow morning."
" I'll come up. See you tomorrow." Louise then arrived She
looked a lot happier than she had earlier;
"I am so pleased he is here, the standard of care is so much
better." Natalie went through to the kitchen and I could hear
the kettle going on.
"Lisa rang, we are going to look at horses on Sunday. The
horses are at an event and they are trying to contact the
organisers for Becky to ride them. Would you like to come
with us Louise?"
"That would be great, I would have liked that, I don't think I
will be able to come and leave Dick."
"I will ask Nicky to bring the video camera and film her first
public event."
"That would be marvellous Dick would enjoy that." Natalie
brought in the drinks, and curled up beside me. I waited till
Louise had finished her tea and put her mug down.
"Louise I have been talking to both Lisa and Becky, it seems
that Becky will need to ride morning and night and every
day in the holidays, I was thinking that it would be easier for
her if she was to live here until the Olympics well certainly
until the team is selected."
" That would be an answer to a question of a different kind, I
have been wondering how she would get on when Natalie
moves out, as they are very close,"
"I have noticed that."
"She loves your Nicky, I have been watching her, not only is
she in love with him, but I am certain that they are sleeping
together, she had that look about her this afternoon when she
came down with Nicky after they got changed. That just
fucked look."
"Mum!! You can't say that!"
"I can because you know it is true don't you."
"Yes mum they are."
"I am not surprised When Roy said they would be married if
it was legal I suspected then, but now I know. I couldn't stop
them and I am certainly not blaming Nicky for doing it or
you for not preventing it. She may only be 11 but I have
been aware for some time that she is her own woman. I
would be a lot happier if she was 18 and married but she is
11 and so that will have to wait. Yes she can move in with
Nicky, I think she had better go on the pill, young as she is,
and your son had better buy her an engagement ring." As she
said the last she burst out laughing. "No that is at his timing,
I know they are in love. Natalie can you go up and get Becky
and Nicky I want to tell Becky myself." I kissed Natalie and
whispered "
"Tell her not to admit to being on the pill already." Natalie
uncurled off the sofa and padded across the floor, her bare
feet curling in slightly as she walked. She ran lightly up the
stairs to Nicky's room. I then heard them all come down.
Natalie rejoined me, and Becky stood shyly with Nicky.
"You want me mum?"
"Yes, Roy and I have been talking. You can live here until
the Olympics we will discuss what happens then, later. There
is one condition and that is you go on the pill, I know that
you have been having sex since early this year, I can see how
in love you both are, I just don't want you making me a
granny before my time, If Natalie makes me a granny that is
another matter." Becky threw herself onto her mothers lap.
"Thank you mum, thank you for being so understanding."
"Thank you Mrs Davies."
"Just don't you go bragging around that you are sleeping
with my daughter young man; you are actually breaking the
law!"
" I won't."
" I won't be coming with you all when you go to look at the
horses but could you take the video Nicky so that Dick and I
can see them, we will also have a complete record of
Becky's progress if you buy them. We will be able to see
them develop as a team."
Louise stood up.
"Time I was heading for home, thank you for all you have
done Roy, and you too Natalie it is appreciated."
"Becky went over to her mum, thank you for being so
understanding, I do love you and dad but this opportunity is
so incredible I just want to do my best."
"That's all right darling. You are just growing up faster than
your school friends. Oh and Roy, she may soon be your
sister in law but if she misbehaves you have my authority to
put her over your knee."
"Ok Louise." Becky just grinned at me. Becky saw her mum
out and locked the doors she came back into the lounge.
"I think we will wait till after your mum has told your dad
and you have seen him before moving the rest of your things
in. I will have to buy some more shelves and cupboard space
for you. Let's go up and have a look." We trooped up stairs
and into Nicky's room. There was a lot of space but when
we added a couple of wardrobes and chests of drawers not to
mention a double bed it would take up a lot of space. I
looked across at the door to the spare room. I walked over
and looked in. It was the size of the master bedroom at Dicks
house. If we put a double bed in there and put in fitted
wardrobes across the long wall, it would clear the space in
what is now the bedroom. There were sinks in both rooms
and you could put in an en suite bathroom. In fact you could
almost make it into an apartment for them. I would get Ian
up to draw up the plans for the room and get that started then
he can organise the conversion of the master bedroom,
complete with bath and shower. I would get the
Computershop in to move the computers around and put in
local laser and inkjet printers and a new scanner. I would
also get Ian to redo my bedroom, new cupboards and shelves
and certainly redecorate. Natalie needed to make this room
hers. The major work could be done whilst we were on our
honeymoon.
I heard the shower going and Nicky and Becky giggling, I
looked at Natalie and said time for bed? Yes love. I stripped
off and went through to my shower and stepped in, the water
rapidly washed the strains of the day away. Natalie stepped
in with me, she gently washed my cock and balls her soapy
hands sliding over my smooth skin, and the only pain was
when she caught the end of the stitch. My cock rapidly
swelled and throbbed. I turned to Natalie and sucked on her
little tits. I turned the water off and we dried each other, Her
slit was soaking wet as my fingers traversed its length. If I
lay on my back and you sit on me facing my feet then it
wont put pressure on my balls and we will be able to see
how it is. I took her by the hand and led her to my bed. I lay
down and drew her down to me She grasped my cock and
aimed it as she slid down it. My cock was raking the front of
her vaginal wall. The tensions set up in my cock were out of
this world; she grasped my ankles and used them to balance
herself across my cock. It only took a minute or so before I
pumped my cum up her cunt. Natalie slid off me and turned
around for a kiss.
"You have another exam tomorrow, are you ready?"
"Yes love as ready as I will ever be."
6:30; why was I awake at this time on a Saturday, oh yes
Rachel was coming for her interview. I had gone through the
technicalities last night with her; today she was doing the
food for the day. Well actually a day and a half as she was
going to pack a hamper for Sunday's trip to Kent. It had
been a marvellous day yesterday, at 10:30 roger had rung,
the money had been transferred There was a total of
£40,000. That would help the Davies. Louise had wept
buckets and then said,
"Dicks contract has been terminated."
"We will put Roger on to that; he will enjoy taking them to a
tribunal. That company are total idiots. I know Dick was
about to resign but it is the principle of the thing, if they do
that to Dick they would probably do it to some other
unfortunate." Natalie had her second exam and they all had
been riding again. It had been an eye opener to watch them.
Nicky and Natalie had both improved and Becky was still
carrying all before in her jumping. When I looked at them
out in the riding school Becky up on Sampson and Natalie
riding one of the ponies, it was Becky who looked like the
elder sister and Natalie who looked the younger. I think the
body armour accentuated the differences in their bodies;
Natalie's was almost straight up and down but Becky's
flowed around her boobs. Ian had come to do the plans and
was getting a contractor in on Monday to look. I got up got
dressed and went down stairs, it was 7:15 I unlocked the
back door and fetched the bread from the bread store. I slid
the kettle on to the Aga and made my morning coffee. I had
just finished my first mug and was about to pour my second
mug when I saw Rachel walking up the path, a cool bag in
her hand. I opened the door to her; she went to the fridge and
put the contents of the bag in the fridge. It's just today's
milk, bacon, eggs, meat etc. I poured two mugs of coffee and
sat down with Rachel to discuss the day.
"Dawn said to ring when you wanted Alex and Ruth to come
up,"
"If I wake them all up then can you aim for breakfast at
8:30? So whilst I wake the sleeping beauties you ring Dawn.
I went up and woke them all, Nicky and Becky were closely
entwined in his bed, they certainly needed a larger bed. After
I had woken them I woke Natalie with a kiss. We went down
and Rachel's children had arrived. I introduced them to
Natalie, Nicky and Becky. We all sat down in the dining
room. 7 of us around the table. Everything was laid out,
serviettes in rings, the toast in racks, the curls of butter on
the butter plates, the pots of marmalade and jam. Rachel was
saying how nice it was to have a big kitchen to work in; She
had a lot to learn with the Aga but the recipe book for it was
very helpful, and to have all the little things to hand. The
food was perfectly cooked. It was marvellous. Rachel had
taken the very best in raw materials and made them into
perfection.
"Roy, how come the bacon has such a rich flavour? I don't
think I have tasted better."
"You wont, if you ask Jerry he will take you down to see the
pigs. They are bred here, for flavour. Slaughtered, butchered
and cured here. The ham is equally tasty. The eggs are free
range from the estate. The only thing bought in for breakfast
was the coffee, the sugar and the bread. That was delivered
from the bakery at 5:30 this morning. You just send them an
e-mail by 3:00pm and it is in the bread safe by 6:00am. I
presume Dawn just said you collect the food from her house,
well that is true as far as it goes. Every thing we can supply
from the estate comes through Dawn, the rest up until now I
have bought from town." I went through to the kitchen and
opened up a private web page on the laptop, it had a list of
foodstuffs and tick boxes,
"You use this page to order all the meat and veg, next year
we should have trout as well." The range available staggered
Rachel,
"You have your own brand of butter and cheese?"
"Not quite, we make butter and cheese and we supply a local
shop. We sell a wheel of cheese a week plus butter. A couple
of pounds of cheese and butter are held back for domestic
consumption. If you do work here you will have your own
personal web page to order food for your own use. It is
charged at cost and deducted from your salary. This page is
mine and you would use it to order food for the house." "Do
you see that box in the bottom right? That is my running
total for the month. That other box is used when you pick
your own fruit and veg, then you weigh it and enter in the
details. I brought up a box from Tuesday and showed her the
salad stuff that Natalie had picked to bring to me in the
hospital.
"Roy are those prices correct? They seem very cheap."
"They are, the estate sells to staff at cost price and that is
knocked as low as I can persuade the accountants to go,
without leaving you liable to income tax on it."
"You know tomorrows hamper, if I order some French
loaves would they come tomorrow?"
"Yes but why?"
"Well I could prepare the meats tonight, pick some salad in
the morning and make you salad rolls to go in the hamper.
They would be a lot fresher."
"We can discuss that later but it is a good idea, I will just
show you how we order." I quickly prepared the e-mail and
sent it, 10 minutes later the reply came back. "They will
shortly be going over to an ordering system like the veg one.
So it will be click and order. Do you need to order anything
for lunch or dinner? If so I will help you to get the hang of
the system." 10 minutes later the order was sent,
"How do I get the food?"
"Well the quickest way is to stroll down to Dawns and bring
it back, or if there is a lot Jerry or Dawn will bring it up in
the car."
Whilst we had been talking Natalie and the others had left
for the riding school, Alex and Ruth with them, I had seen
them all leave,
"Where are Alex and Ruth?"
" Down at the riding stables with Natalie, Nicky and Becky,
I saw them all go. Alex was trying to get your attention,
Natalie looked to me to check and I indicated for them to
leave."
" Are you sure? Today is my interview; you can't go paying
for my children to ride."
" Well it is my riding school, Lisa will kit them out from the
clothes we keep for kids to use and they will be joining my
crew. So no extra expense. In fact it is more fun for my son
as he has another lad his own age. What I suggest you do is
decide on your menu for lunch and dinner. Anything you
need, which is not in the store cupboards or available
through farmnet, write a list of. Dawn will take you down to
the shops for you to have a good look round, she will
introduce you to the manager and then you can get what you
need. Dawn will pay with the house card. Once you know
what they stock you can order by phone. They will deliver
anything. If you need a lemon for instance they will bring
you a lemon 15 minutes later, the only time it will be longer
is during their lunch break." "Now you know what you are
cooking so if you can order what you need and then fetch the
rest, you will be able to have a break this afternoon." Things
were looking good; Rachel was enthusiastic and appreciated
the taste of good food. It was going to be a fun weekend and
no cooking. Today it was Rachel's cooking, tomorrow it
would be her hamper for lunch and a restaurant for dinner.
This looked like being the first weekend at home where I did
not have to cook, certainly in the last 10 years. It did seem
sensible to use some of my money to employ a cook. I had
made my mind up, Rachel was a good cook, I knew that
from Dawn, I got on with her and both by observation and
report from Jerry her kids were good. What the future would
bring is for another time.
