Following a busy yet rewarding weekend Jane pops to see Neal and tell him about Sam and Lucy's project for college. He is very interested and more than a little excited hearing that they would like to use him as their subject.
Jane explains that although most of it is theory and will be questions and discussions, there may be some practical elements to the project. Neal is more than happy to agree, the thought of some company and from such cute young women is very welcome.
That evening Sam's mobile rings and it's Jane. "Hi Sam, how are you sweetie?"
"I'm great Jane thanks, what about you? Mum said you all had a super time at the weekend."
"Yes, I'm feeling wonderful Sam and of course, all the better for hearing your voice. The weekend went well, and your mum seemed to enjoy it immensely."
"She did Jane, not stopped talking about it. It's so nice to see her so happy."
"That's good news Sam, I am so pleased. Now, I hope I can please you too!"
"Oh, sounds intriguing Jane, don't keep me in suspense tell me please, what is it?"
"I went to see Neal this morning Sam, and he would love to help you and Lucy with your college project. All you need to do is plan for when to do it and give him some idea of what you will want to do at the first visit. I told him it may take a few visits over time, and he is fine with that."
Sam is delighted "thank you so much Jane. I can't wait to tell Lucy. Shall I contact Neal direct to sort things out Jane?"
"Yes, please Sam, it seems silly for me to be a go between. That said though, if you need any help or are unsure about anything please let me know and I'm happy to help."
Immediately Sam rings off from her chat with Jane she phones Lucy who is also excited at the prospect of being able to do this jointly with Sam and have Neal involved. "When are you thinking Sam? Have you spoken with Neal yet?"
"I was thinking how about this Saturday after you finish work at Jane's house, I meet you there and we go straight to Neal?"
"I'm not sure Sam, Jane and Mike might not like us doing that."
"I'll talk to Jane Lucy if you are OK with doing it that day."
Lucy agrees it would be a good idea as she is already there, but Sam must make the arrangements with Jane and with Neal.
Sam firstly calls Neal and asks if this coming Saturday afternoon is OK, and he is fine with that. He asks what it might involve, and she tells him, a lot will be questions at the first session. Neal doesn't mind at all as it means he gets some company from 2 gorgeous young women.
Next, Sam calls Jane back and tells her about the possible arrangements of meeting Lucy at her house then going over to Neal. Jane is happy to oblige, and they agree a time and Jane even offers for Sam and Lucy to join her for lunch before seeing Neal.
It is all set and arrangements made. Sam and Lucy discuss things during college the next day and agree that they should write down some questions and make notes before going to Neal so that they know how to tackle it.
Saturday morning and Lucy arrives at Jane's house wearing a black skirt, black nylons, flat shoes and a loose-fitting tee shirt. "Come on in Lucy, nice to see you and prompt again as usual." Jane kisses Lucy and ushers her into the kitchen. "A list of jobs on the white board sweetie, Mike and I are going out for a couple of hours and leaving you to it, that OK?"
"Of course, Jane, no problem. Any priority with these jobs?"
"Not at all Lucy, just take them in any order you like. I'll be back for lunch and see you then with Sam."
Lucy smiles and waves Jane and Mike off before getting down to tackling the laundry. Then while the washer is going, she cleans the bathroom and Jane's bedroom. Then back down and a dust and vacuum of the lounge and downstairs areas. She works diligently through the list of jobs and is feeling very satisfied that she has achieved everything. It's been hard work, but she was keen not to let Jane down being left alone to get on with it.
As Lucy relaxes Jane comes in and Lucy jumps up not wanting Jane to think she had been slacking. "Relax Lucy, looks like you deserve a break, I didn't expect you to have cleared all of this work in one morning, well done, such a good girl, thank you."
Lucy blushes as Jane heaps praise on her. Standing there red faced, clenching her hands and swaying her hips Lucy doesn't know what to say but Jane breaks the silence by hugging her and giving her a kiss on the head. Jane asks if she can adjust Lucy's hair as it seems a little out of place, probably because she has been rushing around. Lucy nods and Jane sets to work. "Here, sit on this stool love and let me sort you out. Lucy sits and Jane stands behind her and brushes her hair through before pulling it back and making a ponytail with it. Simple but effective. Jane looks at Lucy from the front and tells her what a lovely girl she is but there is something that would finish the hair off nicely "stay there sweetie, I'll be right back" Jane goes off for a minute before returning with a red ribbon. "Here, let's tie this around the ponytail Lucy."
Once finished, Jane looks excitedly at Lucy and tells her to look in the mirror. Lucy likes it and tells Jane she hasn't had a ribbon on her ponytail since she was a little girl, but she loves how it looks.
"It looks lovely on you Lucy; I hope you don't mind me doing that, but I think it suits you." Jane is thinking that Neal will also like the look when he sees her later.
There is a ring of the doorbell and Jane answers it to Sam. She gestures for Sam to join her and Lucy in the kitchen. Sam has worn a short red skirt with a tight tee shirt, black nylons and knee-high boots. Her hair is also in a ponytail which is her usual way.
The 3 of them sit after Jane has got lunch out of the fridge. A light lunch of couscous and a tossed salad topped with cherry tomatoes. They all talk, and Jane asks about their forthcoming visit to Neal. The girls are a little nervous but Jane reassures them that Neal is a casual nice guy so they shouldn't feel uneasy about asking questions, he wouldn't have agreed if he didn't want to do it.
Lunch finished and Lucy starts to pick up the plates for washing "stop that Lucy, you're off duty now. Go and get your things ready to visit Neal with Sam. Blushing again Lucy gets her bag and she and Sam say goodbye to Jane then wander over to Neal's house.
"Let me know how you get along girls and if you need anything give me a shout."
"Will do" Sam calls back.
They ring Neal's doorbell, and he answers delighted to see them both. He invites them in and offers a drink. The girls ask for juice, and he gets it while they settle in the lounge on the sofa close to each other so that they can compare notes while interviewing Neal. Neal comes back and sits opposite them in an armchair after putting their juice on the coffee table in front of them. The girls start by explaining what they would like to do and ask if Neal has any questions, in a casual way nothing formal. He is fine so they can start. Sam begins by asking some simple questions about what it's like to live alone and how he manages. What would be helpful to him if he had someone visiting to help out, general questions like that.
Neal is forthcoming and answers simply and directly. As they talk, he keeps looking at the girl's thighs as they sit in their short skirts and nylons. Looking at their hair is a big turn on for him the way they have their ponytails and Lucy looks so pretty with her ribbon. He begins to get a bulge in his trousers and can't help letting his thoughts stray a little when asked what he lacks in his life.
Sam notices his bulge but remains professional and says nothing and tries to keep her gaze on his face. After around an hour they tell Neal that they have what they need for now but would like to come back again sometime if he is alright with that. They don't want to bore him with too much in one session.
Neal smiles at them "look girls, I have nothing else in my life so to have you both here taking an interest is wonderful, so you are welcome to stay as long as you wish."
Both Sam and Lucy now feel a little sad for him and looking at each other they say they will stay a while with him if that's what he wants. Neal offers another drink and Lucy jumps up, "let me do it Neal, you stay there. After all, we are supposed to be the ones looking after you if we do our jobs right, you agree Sam?"
Sam agrees "We're not saying you need help right now Neal but it's good practice for us to be able to do some little bits for you."
Neal smiles and nods as Lucy goes off to the kitchen to get them all a drink. Neal looks at Sam "if you will excuse me Sam, I need the loo, won't be long." He stands up and his bulge becomes prominent causing him embarrassment as he tries to straighten himself and hide it. Sam tries to look away but is drawn to it looking straight at it as she sits with her head at the right height to be level with it.
"I do apologise Sam, please don't think bad of me, I'm not used to having 2 such gorgeous girls in my house and it has well......you can see. Sorry young lady."
