 Day 27 (Saturday 19th June)

   I woke, I felt the phone vibrating and heard the buzzer, 6:45am, we have
an hour and a half to be ready I thought.  I nudged Ellen then as she
moaned and tried to ignore me I rolled her towards me and kissed her, then
she came to and put her arm up round my shoulder and started to get into
it, I broke it and said "I'm sorry fiancée we have no time for what you
want, we have to get up" She had opened her eyes when I said `fiancée' she
lifted her left hand and looked at the ring and broke into a big smile and
said "It wasn't a dream, our date is something I will remember forever, you
can't top that my love" I just smiled and rolled out of bed and said "Come
on and I'll wash your back, I might wash your front too if you're good" I
laughed and was up, I walked out of our bedroom and into Libbies and saw
she was awake and looking at my manhood, she said "Can I get some of that,
please?" I said "Not at this time, we have to be ready for `you know what'
so shake yore ass girl" I turned and walked back out and found Ellen
getting up and ambling towards the bathroom.  I joined her and as she did
her toilet I got the shower going and jumped in and lathered myself up and
got clean quickly, then Ellen joined me and I cleaned all her bits, she was
reasonably happy when we got out, she begun to dry herself and finished in
the bedroom while I did my toileting and shaving and got dressed, our door
was open and I caught a glimpse of a dripping Libby heading for her
bedroom, I managed to get downstairs first and as I didn't know how to make
the porridge I started the coffee going, Libby arrived next and started the
porridge, she looked at me and said "Well are you going to tell me how the
date went?" I said "Oh, it was alright" She thumped me and said "Tell me
the truth, was it just alright?" I said "No Libby, it was fantastic, we
went to a restaurant that looked like a castle and had avocado and prawns
to start then we had salmon steaks and vegetables and you're mum had a
orange sorbet and I had apple pie with ice cream and cream.  We left there
and went to the poshest casino in Britain and had Champagne and then at
midnight I proposed to your mum again and gave her the ring" Ellen walked
into the kitchen and said "He didn't tell you that he fought for my honour
when a ruffian tried to hit him" I said "It was all over in a moment,
Libby" Ellen continued "He bribed someone to get us in there last night but
we were lucky the owner was in and had seen Ken overpower the ruffian, we
had our bill paid but had to join legitimately for the year and everyone
clapped after Ken proposed and gave me the ring" She put her hand out to
show it off and then Libby said the porridge was ready so we sat and
enjoyed it.  We were just finishing when the doorbell went, I got up and
opened the door and there was a man in overalls standing there, I said "How
can I help you?" He said "Are you Mr Ken Richards?" I said I was and he
said we have come to take your car away for storage I said to wait and went
and got the keys, Ellen asked what was going on and I said its all right
and for her not to worry, its something I have to sort.  I gave the keys to
the guy and he gave me a business card and said just to call and they'll
deliver it back.  I thanked him and closed the door.  No sooner was it
closed than it was opened and Charley came in and said someone is putting
your car on a lorry, I said I knew and that it was alright.  Ellen said
"What's going on Ken?" I said "Nothing" Charley said "There's something
going on cause I was told I had to be up early this morning" Stella came in
and winked at me and Ellen caught it "Why are we all here, Ken" I said "I
have a little surprise for you for your birthday, but it involves all of
us" I heard a car horn outside and said "I think its started, are you ready
Libby and Stella?" They both nodded and I said "It begins" Libby went
upstairs and put our three rollalong suitcases onto Charlie's lift and
brought them down Ellen just gaped, meanwhile Stella had gone next door and
brought out 2 suitcases and we met her outside where there was a limousine
sitting, I said to the driver "Open up the boot so we can load it please"
He did and we found a suitcase already in it, I opened a door and motioned
Shirley out and out she came, Stella's face was a picture and I said
"Surprise number one" I said "Let's get loaded people" So all other cases
were loaded, I said "Are we ready for a little trip?" Everyone went and got
jackets and climbed in the limo and Stella and I locked up our homes and
climbed in.  The limo took us away from our area under the Clyde River
through the tunnel and out northwards and turned off at the airport, Ellen
said "We can't go anywhere we don't have passports" I said "Don't worry,
Ellen you worry too much" We went to an area away from the main building
and onto the tarmac near a smaller building I said "Just wait here for a
moment" I got out and went into the building and found an office with
`Paisley Air' written on the door and knocked and entered and found a very
well dressed man in a uniform behind a counter, he said "Hi, I guess you
are Ken Richards?" I nodded and he continued "I'm Alec Thompson and we'll
get things sorted here and we can get going, everyone else is here and
loaded, can I see the credit card please Ken" I got it out and he whistled
under his breath and put it in his machine it beeped and I put in my pin
and within a minute we were in business.  He said "Get your driver to go
round the other side of this building and I'll meet you, that's where we
will be taking off from" I walked outside and told the driver where he was
to drive and we went and he parked beside a smart looking plane, smaller
than the normal but still good looking as far as I was concerned, I got out
and motioned for everyone to get onto the plane and find some seats, I said
to Charley "I'll get you on princess, don't worry" The driver loaded our
luggage onto a waiting trolley and I thanked him and gave him a generous
tip.  I lifted Charley and took her up into the plane and sat her in a
window seat and Libby sat beside her and they buckled up, I made sure her
chair was safe and sat down beside Ellen, Stella and Shirley had seats
together so we were all happy and excited, I heard a sound and saw out the
window a forklift moving our luggage and Charlie's chair then sounds of
movement as it was stowed away and a door slammed shut, a young lady came
on board and introduced herself as Michelle Thompson our Stewardess for the
flight, she would serve a snack and drinks for those that wanted them, I
figured that she was Alec's wife.  Alec came aboard and introduced himself
and said that he was the pilot/owner of this aircraft and that it was his
wife that would be attending to us, he said that aviation rules meant that
Michelle would give an emergency talk prior to us taking off, he wished us
a comfortable flight and went forward into the cockpit, I saw another man
sitting beside him and surmised he was the navigator.  Michelle gave us the
emergency talk and I could feel the engines starting up, the `seat belt'
sign came on along with the `no smoking` sign and Michelle walked from the
cockpit to the back to make sure we were all buckled in and any hand
luggage stowed, Ellen held my hand tightly and said "Where are we going
Ken? Do we have to fly?  We've never flown before, will we be okay?" "Do
you think I would put you in a place of any danger?  (She shook her head).
No we didn't have to fly but it's quickest and where are we going? 
Michelle will tell you in a moment" She didn't Alec did, he came over the
loudspeaker from the cockpit, welcomed us to the flight from Glasgow to
Gatwick (I heard an "oh" next to me) he told us the flying time of just
under 2 hours also that we had blue sky all the way, so no bumpy ride today
we also got the temperature at Gatwick at 28c and our flying speed and to
enjoy the flight.  While he was talking we had taxied out onto the runway
and stopped, then the engines suddenly sounded louder and we begun to move
and I could see us gaining speed I said to Ellen "Look at the speed we are
doing" She looked out of the window and suddenly there was no runway noise
and we were up, I heard the hiss and thunk of the wheels locking into the
fuselage and the plane banked over and turned and for a moment or two we
could see Glasgow like a map below us then it straightened up and we
climbed up through the cloud cover and we could feel the plane settle to
level flying.  The seat belt sign went off and I unbuckled and stood up and
stretched, Ellen was looking horrified at me and said "Where are you
going?" "Nowhere darling, I just like to stretch after take off, I always
do.  How are you're ears?" She said they felt clogged up and I explained
about the height and to squeeze her nose and try to force air past your
fingers, she tried it a couple of times and suddenly she smiled, she said
"I felt them `pop', does that always happen?" "Yes, some people find
sucking a boiled sweetie helps as they swallow it helps your ears to clear"
"Come and sit down you naughty boy, I have to talk to you, (I sat) so we
are all going to your house in Sussex and your car in Glasgow is in safe
storage, I presume we'll get picked up at the airport, so what will you
drive to get us around?  How long are we going for?  Also do you have
enough room to put us all up?" "You will have to wait until we get to
Gatwick to find out what happens next, where we are going is our home in
Sussex and there are 5 double ensuite bedrooms, you can figure that one out
darling and don't worry about transport, we have planned well" "What do you
mean, we have planned well?" "I mean Libby and I planned well" "My own
daughter and you planned all this together under my nose?" "Yes, she was a
tremendous help to me, Stella knew about it as did Shirley" "What about
Charley?" "Well no, I couldn't tell Charley because it's her birthday on
Monday and we have other surprises for her, she'll just think this is for
her and you, but this part is for you and only you, because I love you and
I can do it.  I had to take you out on our date last night so Libby could
pack your bag, I didn't plan on the proposal, I was going to do that today
but it just seemed the right time and I loved our evening, it was a special
time for us" "How long have you been planning this?" "Well all this week
really.  It couldn't be long as you know we've known each other less than a
month, it feels like forever, tomorrow is our anniversary" "Four whole
weeks, my, what a month this has been.  What life changing things have
happened?  I have gained a potential husband and family, friends I know I
will keep for ever and my daughter has a daddy again and you have opened me
up sexually, I would not have changed a moment of this, this has been some
roll-a-coaster ride" She put her arms out and she hugged me and buried her
head in my shoulder and whispered sweet nothings in my ear, well not really
nothings but things she wanted us to do together in bed.  I started to get
hard just thinking about it.  I told her to stop or I would do them right
here in the toilet and then she could join the `mile high club' and she
said "Oh, I've heard of that, is that what it means?" I nodded and she said
that there couldn't be much room in the toilet I said that apparently it
can be done but that I wasn't a member so can't confirm it.  "With all the
experience you have, my love, I would have expected you to be part of it
that must be the only position you haven't tried" I looked up and saw
Michelle coming towards us with a trolley and because everyone was in front
of us they were getting served first, just snacks like sandwiches and juice
or tea and coffee, I stood up and moved forward and saw the girls with a
pile of sandwiches and crisps, I said "Too much girls, give most of that
back to the nice lady and just take a sandwich and juice, you don't want to
spoil your lunch do you?" Stella said "Sorry Ken, we didn't notice what was
going on, we were talking and stuff" I smiled at her and said "Stella
darling, you just carry on with your conversation, I'll sort these two out"
She smiled back a thank you.  Michelle said "I should have asked you if it
was alright for them to have all that, but it's sorted now" "That's
alright" I turned to Stella and Shirley "Do you want anything from the
trolley?" They said the same as the girls and when I asked Ellen we
finished up all having the same.  By this time we were well into the flight
and there wasn't much to look at outside, so Ellen started to read the
magazines in front of her and I just dozed.  It must have been the change
in the pitch of the engine noise that woke me, I looked sideways and saw
that Ellen was dozing as well, I also felt the nose of the plane dipping
and then the seat belt sign came on, I nudged Ellen and she woke, suddenly
remembering where she was and looked alarmed, I said "Its all right, we are
starting to come down towards Gatwick" Then Alec's voice came over the
loudspeakers "We are about 15 minutes from Gatwick and we are descending
safely there are no problems, Gatwick is clear, sunny sky and 29c and
little to no wind so we will not be buffeted, we hope you enjoyed your
flight with Paisley Air and hope you will fly with us in the near future"
We continued coming down and could see the countryside and towns and
villages clearer and clearer then the plane banked and turned and we could
see the main buildings, I heard the hiss and clunk of the landing gear
coming down then the plane seemed to come down a little faster and suddenly
we saw buildings flashing past and the rumble of the tarmac and we slowed
down quite dramatically and were rolling at a town car's speed towards a
large hangar where it came to a halt and the seat belt sign went off,
Michelle came on the loudspeaker and said "Please remain in your seats
until the door is opened and the steps put in place" I suppose it took
about 5 minutes and the business men who had sat at the front got up and
walked off the plane, I looked out the window and saw a big white limo stop
at the steps and Ray stepped out and waited.  I said "Okay all of you,
there is a car at the bottom of the steps for us, go down the steps and say
hello to Ray the driver, I'll get Charley down" They all trouped down the
steps and I could see Ellen talking to Ray and shaking his hand, I went
back and pulled Charley over to me and picked her up and she clung onto my
neck.  She was so excited and giggling then managed to say "This has been
the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to me, thank you, daddy"
"The day isn't done yet princess, there are a lot more wonders for you to
see" I carried her down and she saw the white limo for the first time and
gasped, I got her into her seat and turned to Ray and said "I suppose
you've been introduced to all the others mate, well this beauty is Charley
and she belongs to Stella over there" I indicated and she waved, I said
"This gentleman is Ray Hubard, but prefers to be called `Ray' so don't call
him Mr Hubard or you might upset him" I turned to Ray and told him where I
wanted him to take us and he said that was fine.  By this time our luggage
had been removed from the fuselage compartment and Alec was walking down
the steps, I introduced them to each other and they spoke to one another
for a moment or two while I went over to the forklift driver and pointed
out our luggage and the wheelchair, Ray came round the back and opened the
boot and between us we got everything stowed away.  I shook hands with Alec
and he said that if I didn't mind he would put some work Ray's way, I said
"That's between you two.  Anyway thank you for getting us here safely, they
all enjoyed their first flight" "I hadn't realised that no-one had flown
before, that's a new experience Ken.  Will you be flying back with us?  I
don't have a problem with coming to get you or getting you on a scheduled
flight of mine, give me a call when you know and I'll see what I can do" I
thanked him again and climbed into the limo.  Ray drove us out of the area
and quickly onto the M25 (for anyone not familiar, it's the London ring
road) and we travelled anti-clockwise for a couple of miles then we turned
off and Ray headed for our lunch at a hotel off the beaten track in a
lovely village just south of Crawley, we drove up to the elegant looking
hotel and Ray parked just beside the entrance and took up two parking bays.
I got out first and got Charlie's chair out and then got her into it and
then Ray and the rest got out and Ray locked up.  We all trouped into the
hotel and a young man haughtily came up to us and said "We don't cater for
buses" I said "Come with me a moment" I walked out into the car park and
pointed and said quite angrily "That is not a bus and now go back into your
area and look up a booking for Ken Richards and if you can't find it I want
to see the owner or manager" The receptionist literally ran back into the
building and I followed slowly and went to reception, he said he had found
booking for a group of 7 that would arrive by our own transport,
unfortunately they had cancelled it thinking we would be in a mini-bus.  I
demanded to see someone and he rang a number and a well dressed good
looking woman of about 40 came out of an office behind him.  He told her
about the booking and said it had been cancelled due to wrong information,
I said "My name is Ken Richards and we have just flown down from Glasgow on
a private flight and been picked up by my limousine that is parked in your
car park, I want to see the person in charge here to complain about the
abysmal service we are receiving at what I thought was a prestigious hotel"
"You are talking to her and I can only apologise for the mix up please come
this way" She walked through to a restaurant area and called over a couple
of waiters "I want you to move a couple of tables together so these good
people can eat as a group and I want it done now" They went and within
minutes we were directed to a table laid out for seven but with six chairs,
I thanked them and they went away and one came back with menus and handed
them out.  I stood and addressed them all and said "It would be best if you
just have a main course, I don't know how well stocked our kitchen is at
this moment but I've arranged for a proper meal at night" I sat down and we
looked at the menus, Ray said that he would only have a snack if that was
okay as his wife would be expecting him to eat a meal on his return, I said
he could have whatever he wanted.  They all made up their minds and I
called over the waiter and he took our order, a wine waiter came over to me
and I ordered a bottle of white and one of red and a carafe of water and he
returned with them and I said after sipping the wines that I accepted them
but we would dispense them ourselves and the red wine and the water was
placed on the table and the white into a cooler.  I asked what everyone
what wine they wanted and the two girls got watered down white while the
rest of us had red, Ray declined.  The talk round the table was animated
mostly about the flight and some to Ray about where he lived and asking
about his family, it was good to hear that he wasn't being left out.  I was
looking about and saw they didn't have very many people in but some of them
seemed to be looking down their noses at us, I thought `snobbish lot' and
stared out a couple of them and I felt angry, Ellen must have looked at me
and saw the anger and said loudly "Ken, they don't matter, we could
probably buy and sell them under the table but that doesn't matter either,
what matters is us darling" I looked at her and I knew she was right but it
still annoyed me that some people have pre-conceived opinions of others
without knowing them.  I smiled she knew how I felt she was so tuned into
me.  Our food started arriving and we got stuck in, the food was good and
wholesome, Ray's snack was almost a meal and he left a lot with apologies.
He asked me if I minded if he left the table early as he wanted to make
sure the limo was okay, I agreed of course and everyone waved and smiled as
he left.  We finished the wine.  Some of us even managed a desert after and
I waved the waiter over and said I wanted the bill, it came and there
wasn't any wine listed on it, I queried this and was told that the
management had paid for the wine as an apology to us, I thought that was a
nice gesture owing to the circumstances but still wanted to talk to that
woman again.  I was instructed that the bill was to be paid at reception so
I tipped the waiter then we all walked out into the reception area.  I paid
with my debit card and asked to speak to management again.  A quick call
and she was out again and I said "In future I would ask your staff to
ignore whether a group is coming by bus or not, there is no room in this
economic climate for snobbery, I've seen that you don't have many people in
for lunch, obviously you are only catering for a certain type of people, I
would like to return but if you continue in the way you are conducting
yourselves now, I don't think you will be here for long" She was blushing
quite deeply and Ellen held onto my arm and said "Well said Ken" The woman
stuttered then said "Everything you've said is true, I've inherited this
from my family and I thank you for the advice and will take it on board, I
do hope you return again, thank you" We went out into the car park and I
lifted Charley in and stowed her chair and we were off again.  The
countryside was lush in greenery and every mile or so we passed through a
hamlet or village then we got to a main road and picked up speed, still
only doing about 50mph and we bypassed a couple of larger towns then we
went though Lewes and I knew we only had about 10 miles to go.  I got out
my remote for the gates and handed it to Libby, she looked at it, it only
had two buttons on it and she said "What's this for?" "When I tell you
press the button marked open and watch ahead through the window" The
limousine turned off the main road and went through my local village and
continued up the hill about a quarter of a mile, I opened a window and I
said to Libby "Lean out of the window then press to button" She did and I
know that she saw the grand gates open ahead of us then we were through
them and she pulled her head back in and said "Oh god that was something
else" I took the remote back off her and put it in my pocket and I opened
up all the windows and Ray brought the limo in as tight a circle as he
could in front of the entrance and I got out.  I went and opened up the
storm doors (security doors really) then the inner door and cut off the
alarm and went back outside, everyone was standing staring around at our
home, I said "Come on guys, help Ray with the cases and bring them in" I
grabbed Charlie's wheelchair out of the boot and put it on the tarmac and
then lifted Charley onto her chair, I grabbed my case and put it in the
hall and then went back out and lifted Charlie's and put it in the hall as
well, everyone else was just getting there's and standing about, I said
"Welcome to you're second home, come in" I took hold of Ellen's hand and
pulled her into the house and they all followed and saw the lift, I said
"Upstairs there are five bedrooms, the one at the front with the veranda is
the master bedroom and you can guess who's going in there, so you can sort
yourselves out for the rest" Charley came over to me and said "Has there
been another person in a wheelchair that you put the lift in for?" "No
Charley my princess, this was done for you.  I haven't had time to do
anything else in the house for you yet but it'll happen" She put her arms
up to me and I crouched down and we hugged and I felt tears on my cheek.  I
broke away and told her "It might be better if you and Libby share a room
then she can help you with anything you need okay?" "Oh yes, I would like
that" I called Libby over and told her and they looked at one another and
there was love in the air, they smiled at one another and Charley headed
for the lift, it was almost the same as hers in Glasgow so she didn't have
to learn how to use it, she glided in and went up and got out and shouted
down "Put all the cases in the lift and I'll bring them up" She sent the
lift back down, we loaded them all in and sent it up and we all went up
stairs and retrieved our cases, I showed Ellen our bedroom and the veranda
and she just looked aghast at the two dressing rooms with wrap around
wardrobes and that the ensuite bathroom was twice the size of the Glasgow
one and had a double bath and shower.  She said "Who did you build this
house for Ken?  Royalty?" "I have to go downstairs and sort out Ray, he'll
be wanting to go home" I walked down and found Ray outside and said to him
"My friend you did us proud, tell me how much I owe you" "Do you want to
see the diesel and the hire of the limo receipts?" "No Ray, just add it all
up include all your time and tell me how much.  While you are doing that
I'll get a coffee on for you in the kitchen" I left him calculating with
his phone calculator how much he wanted, it took him about ten minutes and
he came in and told me a price, I added another £50 to the top and rounded
it up to the nearest £20, he objected of course but I was adamant that he
should take it.  I said "Take your wife out on your profits" I laughed as
he did too, he said "Don't forget, anytime don't hesitate and if I can't
I'll put you in touch with one that can" We shook hands and he was gone
again.  I continued to drink my coffee, I thought someone will find me and
join me.  It was Stella and Shirley, they looked around and poked in here
and there and pulled rolling cupboards and drawers out and in and generally
investigated the kitchen.  They eventually came over to me and grabbed a
mug of coffee each and sat down, I knew a question was coming and it did
Stella said "What do we do for the best Ken?  Do we share straight away or
take a bedroom each and hope Charley comes round?" "Why don't I go and talk
to Charley and I'll ask her" Shirley said "What would you say to her?" "I
don't know, I'll think of something.  You two just take your coffee's out
onto the veranda or into one of the lounges and relax and I'll come and
find you" I walked out and upstairs and found the room Libby and Charley
had taken, the door was ajar and I tapped on the door and walked in.  I
found them unpacking and putting their stuff away into the dressing rooms.
Charley said "We love this daddy" I said to her "Can I talk to you a minute
alone?" "Have I done something wrong?" "Not to my knowledge unless there's
something you want to own up to?" Libby motioned us out and I went and sat
on the bed and she came and faced me and I started "Charley, you know how
you feel about Libby, you know how you touch each other to make yourselves
feel good and talk to one another and generally love each other...God I'm
not doing this very well" She interrupted me "Daddy, is this about my mummy
and Shirley?" "What do you know about that?" "I've seen the way they look
at each other and they touch each other when they think no-ones looking and
when I come into a room they're in they suddenly move apart" "Yes, this is
about them, they think about each other like you two do.  Would you mind if
they shared a room?  Would you mind if they were a little more open about
their relationship?  I know they are not just in love with each other, they
love all of us.  It's a lot to think about, I'm sorry if I have upset you"
"Daddy, my mummy has been alone for along time and I have taken up a lot of
her enjoyment time, so do I mind?  No of course I don't, Shirley is a nice
person and she will be good for my mummy as you are, she laughs a lot
nowadays at silly things and I love my new mummy and I have you to thank
for that, so no you haven't upset me and yes, they should share a room"
"How did you know what I was going to ask you?" "I love you daddy but you
think I glide around on this and wear blinkers?" "Charley, you are wise
beyond you're years, I am very proud of you princess" She blushed down to
her roots and I laughed and she giggled, Libby tapped on the dressing room
door and I shouted for her to come out, she did and looked at us in
apprehension and said "Is everything okay?" "It is and Charley will, no
doubt tell you about it, I'm going, I'm on a mission" I left them alone and
walked out and downstairs and found them admiring the Native American room.
I walked in and they both turned to me and I said "She already knows about
you, you haven't been discreet enough and she's seen enough to know you two
are an item and she also thinks you should stop hiding your feelings for
one another and should share a room" They just looked at me gobsmacked, I
said "You can talk now" Stella said "Charley said all that to you?" I
nodded and Shirley said "I'll start moving my things into your room and it
might be a nice thing to go talk to her Stella darling" Stella said "How
did you...what did you say Ken?" "Well she feels the same as you two do but
about Libby, so although it wasn't easy, it was easier and I think Shirlies
idea about going to talk to her is a good one it will stop any
embarrassment between you all.  Now go" They went and got rid of their
coffee mugs and went upstairs.  I followed and found Ellen sitting on the
bed I sat beside her and told her everything that had been happening.  I
pulled her to her feet and took her downstairs for a tour of the house, we
went out to the garage and I showed her where my car usually sat then I
took her through my workshop, not very interested in this so we moved on
and I took her out to the rear of the main building along a short corridor
and into the games room with my snooker and pool tables and the games
console with special chair and through the gym with a hot tub and opened a
door and their was the pool, she gasped at every room as we entered but she
nearly whooped when she saw this and said "Oh, I didn't bring a swimsuit"
"Stella has one for you, or of course you could go `skinny dipping', you're
amongst friends here" "Stella has a suit for me?  How did she...oh, Ken you
and your planning" We walked round the pool and saw there was a toilet as
well then we walked out, she just looked aghast and then found her tongue
"Wow, Ken how much did this house cost?" "You don't want to know, now let
me show you the rest" I took her back through the two interconnecting
lounges with the electronically controlled sliding partitions that would
make it one big room then as we walked into my trophy room and she looked
at the Native American souvenirs she put her hands up to touch the war
bonnet, peace pipe, a spear with feathers attached and the drum and then
she saw my Dreamcatcher and she said "This is wonderful, are they all
genuine?" I said as far as I knew they were, I led her through the dining
room and into the kitchen, she said "This is a dream, isn't it, I can't
believe there is such a place as this, it's got to be a dream and I don't
want to wake up" I showed her how none of the cupboard doors or drawers
could slam shut and how a whole floor cupboard rolled out from the wall so
you could get at the back of it, the corner cupboard shelves came out and
then two eye level ovens with spit turners and the combination oven, the
American style fridge freezer (larger than the one in Glasgow) and the
range hob with it's wok burner and barbeque fitments.  I unlocked the back
door and took her outside and told her to look at the roof, she saw the
glass panels, I said they are the solar panels to help keep constant hot
water and central heating in the winter and the under floor heating and
that the air conditioning is kept to a minimum, I turned and showed her the
big fenced off field, I said "That's ours, maybe for a horse or a dog to
run around in with the children, whatever you want, so what do you think of
our home Ellen?" She stood looking at the field for a full five minutes
before speaking seeming to stare out into space then she said "How did you
know you would find someone to share this dream with?" "I didn't.  The
architect I chose to work with building this is a woman and this was her
first big project after finishing university and all along I kept asking
her what would she like if it was hers, I had some input but she did most
of it and no we weren't lovers, she preferred the company of another woman
but we got on very well, I told her from the very beginning that there
wasn't a fixed budget but that I insisted that I was going to be my own
Project Manager and she didn't have a problem with it, if I thought of
something to change during the contract we would discuss it first, we would
do the same if it were her idea.  At the end I had a garden party for all
those that had worked on it, some of them came from the village down the
road and most of the produce I use comes locally, the village and me, we
get on very well and the pub (The Smiddy) has great grub, I've arranged
that we have a small meal there tonight, we can walk down and back tonight,
it's only a quarter of a mile but tomorrow I have transport arranged" "I'm
amazed you don't have something in the garage at the moment" "That is
something my planning let me down on, I originally was going to hire a car
and pick it up at the airport but then thought it would be nice for Ray to
pick us up in a limo so I then had to change the hire to tomorrow morning,
that's why the garage is empty, though I would like a Harley Davidson
3-wheeler in there one day" "Now that would suit you Ken" and she laughed.
"You still haven't told me what you think of our home?" "If it was me
designing it I wouldn't have had the workshop but I would have had an
office, but the kitchen is out of this world and I'll never use everything
in it.  The upper floor is great and no need for a family bathroom, you
certainly thought of everything there, it's like a hotel" I said there is
an office, it leads off of the Native American room, one of the oak panels
is a secret door, you have to press a part and it opens out" "One day soon
I would like to live here with you and bring up our family, I think it
would be good for them and a Labrador dog, I like them and I think they are
good with children, maybe Libby would like a horse" "I asked her if she
would like one when I first told her about this house and she told me she
wasn't sure as she had never been allowed to even have a pet in the flat"
"She has a wise head on her, she thinks things out" "I'll tell everyone
about the meal at the pub, come with me darling you have to see this" I
took her into the Native American lounge and went to a wall and pressed a
timber cross member and a panel of the wall opened to reveal my office, we
walked in and she could see the large desk and swivel chair and a small
couch and the large security monitor split into four and saw the pictures
changing every once in a while, all outside showing different parts of the
outside of the house and some inside but none in the rooms, she asked me
about that and I told her that was a privacy thing, I said "If anyone
manages to break in this will show me who they are as it has a kind of
thermal imaging and it doesn't matter if they wear a mask.  But let me show
you something else.  I retrieved a microphone from the back of the desk and
switched it on and started to speak into it "This is Big Brother Ken
speaking, I have arranged for us all to have a meal down at the pub at
about 7:30pm, our transport will be your own legs, have a nice evening"
Ellen laughed and laughed "You idiot" She spun me round in my chair and
crouched down and put her arms out and I stood and pulled her up and held
onto her, I let go of one arm and leaned back and pressed a button and the
sound of our jazz program came through some speakers, I said "Everyone in
the house can hear that now in the background, there is a volume control
and an on/off switch next to the beds in every bedroom" I pressed another
button and the door closed and I held onto her and started swaying to the
music and it took us over.  She pushed her pelvis into mine and I moved my
hands down to cup each buttock and almost lifted her onto her tip toes, we
were both breathing heavily by this time and I looked and lead her over to
the couch and let her go, I undid my trousers and let them drop and my
pants and sat down at the edge, I reached under her skirt and pulled down
her knickers and caressed her as she stood there, she couldn't last long
and I heard her catch her breath and then breath out fast "Ken, now
darling" I turned her around so her back was to me and let her sit down on
my cock and I held onto her buttocks and helped her raise up then down and
she did this several times and I could feel my balls churning and I was
ready, I think I shouted "Now!!!" I could hear her shouting "Yessss, yesss
Oh God yesss" She dropped her weight on me and I slid back in the seat and
laid back and pulled her with me and we laid like that for a good while
until I could feel my legs starting to go `dead' I said "Ellen darling,
your going to have to lift up, there is a box of tissues on the desk, I
think you will need them" "No, I definitely will need them, that was a
bucket load Ken" She leaned forward as far as she could but had to lift up
to reach them and she made a grab and took out a handful and put them onto
her crotch as she stood up properly and said "I thought our first time
would be romantic and in bed in this house, but you took advantage of me
and I love it" I stood up and went to hug her and she said "Oh no buster,
we need a shower and I can't see one in here so I've got to get upstairs as
soon as possible, how do you open that door?" "Just push it gently and
it'll open and when you want to close it you just push it again from
outside" She pushed it with one hand, held the tissues with the other and
walked quickly out and I pulled up my pants and trousers and did them up,
picked up her knickers and followed her out, I pushed the door and
continued up the stairs and I finished up behind Ellen and in front of her
everyone was clapping and laughing Libby said as they calmed down "Daddy
you must remember to switch off the loudspeaker, we heard everything, yes
everything" She nodded and I could see Ellen blushing to her roots and she
ran into the bedroom laughing and giggling and shouting "Oh God,
technology" I laughed and followed her and closed the door and took off my
clothes and walked to the bathroom to find Ellen sitting on the bidet and
cleaning herself.  I turned on the shower and stepped in and started
washing myself, Ellen came in and said "That's my job" Smiling she took
over then it was her turn to get clean and I relished the job but she had
to stop me and said "Stop or I'll have to stay in here all night and you've
made me hungry" So I allowed her to step out without touching her, that was
hard, I loved touching her especially as she was naked and looked gorgeous
all shiny and dripping water everywhere, I could watch her for ever and
then thought to myself `I can because she's mine forever' but I carried on
looking and she saw me staring and smiling and she said "I love you as well
you know" "I know you do but you just take my breath away and I can't help
looking" "Don't ever stop Ken or I would die" She came into my arms and we
kissed and hugged, the music was still playing and I started to sway and
she suddenly broke away from me and said "No, not now I've just got clean
after the last dance" I pouted and she laughed.  By the time we got dressed
it was 6:30 and we went downstairs and found everyone in the American
lounge, I walked over to the wall and pushed the bar and as everyone
watched I walked into the office and switched off the loudspeaker, I walked
back out and pushed the door and it slowly closed.  I said "Would you all
like a small glass of wine before we walk down or would you rather wait
till we get there" The consensus was that we would wait, so I told them all
about the controls beside the beds they said they knew about them as they
had heard it on the loudspeaker, Ellen giggled at that and I continued that
each of the televisions in the rooms had a side slot for any compact discs
they might have brought and that they could play them through the speakers
that way, Libby and Charley perked up at that.  We all just sat and chatted
for about half an hour then we started to make our way down to the pub, I
gave Charley the remote for the gates and she opened them as we got nearer
and she said "That's pretty cool daddy, the whole house is really, we found
the pool and the hot tub, can we go into it tonight?" "It's not a good time
to go swimming after a meal but there's no reason anyone that wants to can
go into the hot tub, Stella can you look out the swimsuit you have for
Ellen?" Stella nodded and looked at Ellen and smiled and Ellen said "I know
you all conspired behind my back but I don't mind it was in a good cause"
Charley said "I didn't cause I only knew about your ring because we saw
Daddy buy it, he got us our rings just before yours" Ellen said "So they've
conspired against you too, Charley?" She nodded and smiled up at Ellen.  We
arrived at the pub and we walked into the place, you could see that the pub
was old and must have had three bars at one time but they had all been
knocked into one some time ago with what looked like old beams supporting
where there used to be walls, it was huge now and one end had tables all
set out for eating.  I showed everyone to where a couple of tables had been
moved together and they all sat down, I walked over to the bar and shook
hands with the guy behind the counter, he looked like a landlord, he looked
to be well over 6' and he had a large tummy, his sleeves were rolled up and
showed his arms covered in fading tattoo's (he had told me he'd been in the
navy and had travelled further than I had) He said "Welcome back Ken, so
you've managed to gain a family while you were gone?" "Come over Mike and
I'll introduce you to my fiancée and her daughter and some friends" He
looked at me and said "You're joking aren't you?  You've only been gone for
4 weeks Ken, be careful of gold diggers mate" "You have that wrong, she
fell for me before she knew about me, so come on my friend and thank you" I
walked back towards Ellen and he came from behind the bar and stepped down
and became about 6' (he had had it built up behind the bar, said it put
strangers off starting any trouble, not that he couldn't handle himself) we
walked to the table and I said to everyone "This gentleman is Mike Staples
and this is his pub" I introduced Ellen (he said he felt sorry for her
coming into contact with me and smiled) they shook hands, I introduced
Libby then Charley and her mother Stella and Stella's friend Shirley (it
seemed the easiest way without going into details he didn't need to know),
he shook hands with them all, he asked Libby and Charley how old they were
and they told him, he added "I don't get many visits from the `bluebottles'
so I think you can get some wine a little watered down if you don't mind
but don't be coming back for two or three bottles" He laughed at his own
joke and we all laughed along.  "He said I'll get you the menus, it's my
wife Jean that does the cookin', all good wholesome stuff if you don't mind
me sayin' and good helpin's too, you won't go hungry here" He left and I
said "I suggest you just get a main course as you'll see when you get it
what he means, I don't know how he makes it pay as he's not over the top in
his prices, I will say, the pub is never empty" He returned with the menus
and a whiteboard stuck under an arm, he said "This is the specials board,
my wife introduced it, said it would bring the punters in, I said to her
`the punters already come in' she said for me to just bear with her, I told
her I had been doing that for years and she thumped me, bully tactics" He
laughed again and we giggled, (I have met his wife and she has to have a
set of steps to do the cooking she's that short, I told Ellen that and she
giggled more) we made up our minds, I wanted the steak pie and veg, the
rest had a mixture of scampi and chips, fish and chips or a hot salad with
roast chicken, Mike brought over big slices of crusty bread and a bowl of
soft butter, I ordered a round of drinks and they came, he put Libbies and
Charlie's down in front of them, winked and smiled and about ten minutes
passed and Mikes wife, Jean came out from behind the bar with a big tray,
it was nearly as big as she was, she put it down on the next clear table
and started asking who wanted what and handed them out, she didn't have
them all so turned and went back and came out within a minute with two
plates, they were all well laden with food, she said "Ken, you and your
friends enjoy your meal" I thanked her and she was gone again, Ellen said
to me "I see what you mean, I can't imagine her bullying him" I'll tell you
we struggled through the meal, it was enormous, I couldn't finish my chips
but they got devoured by `little' hungry mouths, I don't know where they
put it but they enjoyed it and as we were getting ready to leave Jean came
out and I introduced her to everyone, she was constantly smiling, I've
never seen her without a smile.  Her head was only just over Charlie's and
they took to one another like a house on fire, she told Charley that she
was in a wheelchair when she was a little girl as her legs wouldn't grow
and she was stuck in it until she rebelled in her teens and refused to use
it, she was given crutches and leg braces until just before she was 21, she
said she refused to walk down the aisle with them, she said she was really
sorry for someone who couldn't do what she did.  Charley listened to every
word and said she would love to be able to do what Jean had done but she
said "They just won't do what I want them to" I listened too and when Jean
said leg braces, something in my head came out and I had an idea, I thought
to myself I'll not say anything until I'm sure about what I had thought of
or have investigated further.  The evening was a great success but about
half way up the hill Charley had to give up and asked Libby if she would
push her, I know she hated asking so did Libby so she made a game of it by
pushing her up a bit then letting us pass then passing us again and soon we
got near enough to the gates for Charley to press the remote and she
laughed as Libby rode one of the gates, then we were through and she did it
again and Charley giggled, we got back to the house and we went to relax
after our walk, Libby and Charley we upstairs to change into bathing
costumes, I went and made sure the hot tub wasn't too hot and came back and
within minutes they were back, both had pretty revealing bikini's and I
took them and showed them the controls for the vibrations and the jets of
water, I helped Charley to get in and Libby helped with her legs as I
didn't want to get wet yet.  They said pretty much together "This is cool"
I said it wasn't but that I knew what they meant, I said that one or two of
the others may come in but that I would let them know if they were in too
long anyway, I told them to be careful and not to muck about as that's how
accidents happen and that we are a long way from an A&E dept.  They assured
me that they would take care of each other, I said I thought they would and
I smiled at them and walked back into the lounge, Stella asked if the girls
were okay and I nodded, she said her and Shirley were going to bed and they
left us after saying there goodnights and thanking me for the day.  The
music was still playing but we just laid back on the couch and caressed one
another gently and occasionally kissed and talked and giggled about our
day, it was then that I told Ellen all that I had planned for Charley as
her birthday was on Monday, Ellen looked at me and said "You are a very
devious but beautiful man Ken" By the time I had told her I said "I'm going
to tell the girls that they've had long enough in the tub, then we can go
up too, I'm feeling a little horny again dear" She just smiled her smile
and I got up and went to help Charley get out, I laid her towel on the
chair and she sat on it and dried as much as she could and said "Libby will
help me for the rest, thank you daddy for a wonderful day" Libby dried off
a bit and came over to me and gave me a big hug and kissed me open mouthed,
tongues and all and said when she broke off "That's from us both daddy" She
was breathing pretty heavily and I'm not sure if she was flushed because of
the kiss or the hot tub however they moved off and went upstairs and I went
and found Ellen and we went upstairs for some private (this time) loving.
