Terry and I sat chatting about what she wanted done in the garden, it had to be enough that Laura would think we had been hard at it all day, by the time I was ready to leave for work, we knew exactly what we had to do.


    “Craig, just a thought, but what happens if Laura wants you to go with her” Terry asked watching meugh.


    “She’s got to leave at noon, I don’t finish till one” I added watching her nod.


    “She has already asked me, I think she wanted to go for a walk along Argyle Street after the interview,” I said watching Terry ce back at the door, then add “Well I had better give her money so that she takes her time” Terry added with a smile.


    “Listen got to dash, we’ve got a deliverying in today” I added watching Terry nod as I walked out of the kitchen door.


    By 10:30 am I had a couple of text messages on my phone from Laura, asking me to give her a phone on my break. Stepping out into the courtyard, I dialed her number and then listened to her rabbit for a couple of minutes.


    “Oh by the way, what’s this I hear that my mum made you a fry up,” Laura asked as I listened to the slight chuckle in her voice.


    “Yeah I know, she was nice to me this morning, I sort of thought she fell out of the bed or something” I added knowing what wasing.


    “Lesson one about my mum, don’t trust her when she’s nice to you” Lauraughed down the phone.


    “Why?” I asked trying to fake curiosity as Lauraughed.


    “Well you see, Mum was looking for something this morning, but chickened out of asking you, so she’s left it to me” Laura added with augh.


    “I don’t like the sound of this” I added, I could tell Laura was enjoying herself.


    “Well, Mum asked me, to ask you if you would give her a hand with the garden today?” Laura said as I stood with a grin on my face.


    “Ohe on, couldn’t you make up an excuse or something”, I said trying to fake disappointment.


    “Well you’re the idiot that told her you were on a half day today,” Laura said as I stood nodding.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    “Laura, you know I hate gardening, and trust me after your little talkst night, no offense but I don’t want to be left with your mum alone, just in case she tries to eat me” I added with augh.


    “Craig, we were only joking aboutst night, trust me, my mum wouldn’t give you a second look, k” Laura said dismissively, I stood with a big grin on my face as the thought ofst night popped into my head.


    “Can you not make up some excuse for me, like I’ve got the dentist or something” I added listening to Lauraugh.


    “Tell you what, if you do it for her, I’ll drop a hint about her paying you back with a meal from the Indians, how does that sound?” Laura asked, I had hammed it up long enough, it was time to agree.


    “Okay, what time does she want me over?” I asked listening to Lauraugh.


    “Well if you go home and grab clothes, you can stay tonight” Laura added then said, “Say about 1:30?”


    “Okay, but if I’m in a bad mood it’s your fault, and I thought you were my friend,” I said trying toy it on thick.


    “Craig, it’s only a bit of gardening,” Laura said then exined that she would send me a text when she reached sgow, she didn’t know where she was going so needed directions.


    “Okay I will send you the directions when you’re there,” I said stepping back toward the building.


    “Okay then speak to you soon. bye,” Laura said then quickly hung up.


    By midday I had worked feverishly as I thought about everything I wanted to do to Terry after work, I sort of hoped we would get the sex out of the way first, then get stuck into the garden but known my luck I would have to wait.


    Pulling up at the door, fifteen minutes after work, I pushed the door open to listen to an empty house. Searching downstairs, I headed into the kitchen and then watched Terry kneeling at the flower beds gently digging out some weeds.


    “Started without me I se, e,” I said with a grin watching Terry stand up and then brush her brow with her arm.


    “If you get thewn mower out and cut the grass, I’ll do the beds, we can clean out the shedte, r,” Terry said with a grin watching me nod and then head to the garage before pulling the petrol mower out.


    Starting the engine, my feet moved like an Olympic sprinter as I raced up and down thergewn, stopping every so often to empty the grass box. Realizing that Terry still had a couple of meters left to weed, I started to go over thewn in a different direction, watching the different shaded squares appear.


    I had almost finished when I watched Terry head over to the grass bin and empty the carrier bag into the bin then stand on the patio watching me finish.


    “If you nip round and do the front, I’ll make us a coffee” Terry added then headed in the back door. After thinking about Terry all morning there was only one thing that I wanted and it wasn’t a cup of coffee.


    Kicking up thewnmower and then giving the small patch of grass the once over I headed into the garage putting thewnmower away before emptying the grass into the bin.


    Heading into the kitchen, I watched Terry take a sip of her coffee and then grin “I was thinking that after all that hard work, I will probably need a shower, you are wee to join me” Terry said watching me nod and then add “But if my hands start to wander don’t me me”.


    Terry and I headed out of the kitchen, we had just reached the first step when we listened to the phone ring, “I better get that, that’ll be Laura” Terry said then headed into the living room.
