"Jason, just the man I wanted to see," said Steve McDonald from behind the bar of the Rovers Return.
At that moment Jason Grimshaw regretted going for a quick Saturday lunchtime pint. Being a builder who could turn his hand to most things had its drawbacks.
"Steve, whatever it is, no. I promised Tina no jobs this weekend, so sorry no." replied Jason.
"But I have got a leaking radiator in the bedroom, everywhere is soaking wet, please mate," implored Steve. "I will make it worth your while, there's twenty quid in it for you," he added.
Jason snorted his reply, "twenty quid is not worth getting out of bed for, especially if Tina is in there, sorry mate, no can do."
"OK then fifty, but I want it doing as soon as possible." said the desperate Steve.
Jason agreed to take a look. The bedroom was that of Liz, Steve's mother and landlady of the Rovers.
It was not a big job, Jason estimated about 15 minutes, but informed Steve it might take a couple of hours, and would cost him a hundred. Steve was not happy, but agreed and Jason promised to do the job the following morning.
Next morning Jason reluctantly dragged himself out of bed. His girlfriend Tina tried her best to make him stay, but he explained about the job and how he could not afford to turn down a hundred pounds for a couple of hours work.
"Can't I persuade you," said Tina as she threw back the duvet and exposed her naked body to him. She was a petite girl, but had amazing breasts and the black pubic triangle drove him crazy.
But tempted as he was, he pulled on his clothes, leaned over and kissed Tina on each nipple and then the lips, saying "come on over at 12, we will have a drink or two."
Steve let him into the pub, and then left with Becky to take his daughter Amy to the playground.
Jason knocked on Liz's door, there being no reply he went in and started the work.
The day was hot and he stripped down to his work vest, showing off his tight body. Being mixed race, Jason had a dark skin and a body that was toned by his manual work, but he also kept in shape at the gym. He was laid on his back, tightening the fitting when Liz walked in the room. She had just had a bath and was wearing a towelling robe.
"Now that is a sight to lift a girls spirits," said Liz as she gazed on Jason laying there.
"Hi Liz, all fixed, no more drips, I will just clear up and be out of your way."
As Jason gathered his tools, Liz came up behind him and stroked his muscular back. "My what I wouldn't give to be 20 years younger."
