My name is Brenda, but everyone calls me Bren. One of my favorite pastimes, with the exception of being with Cliff (secretly my toy boy) is talking to my next door neighbor Janice over the garden wall. Of course any scandal is one of the most common things we talk about and there is usually plenty of that in our street.
You'd be surprised at just what I know, thanks to Janice who is a real nosy bird
But for once Janice was not talking about Emily up the road who has two guys keeping her to the way she has become accustomed, She on social security benefits too,
Charlie Apple. Yes that is his name. Who pretends to be gardening but who lures certain young women passers by into his, pad to show them his butterflies,
Janice knows because she took up his invitation.
"It was more than his selection of moths he wanted to show me" she said looking all shocked.
"Well the girls seem to like him, they are in there long enough, Janice" I said.
"How do you know?"
"It was you who told me Janice. For a very attractive redhead in her early thirties, you are losing it. You want something to spice up your life!"
"Fat chance!" was the reply from a very disgruntled Janice."
"That is because either you love Horace too much or you are lacking personality."
"We don't all have toy boys who cover as window cleaners Bren"
"You have been prying; I can see it in your eyes! You are a real scandal -mongering bitch!"
Janice looked guilty; her face blushed up a bit.
"Well it is pretty obvious Bren. I mean nobody wants the windows cleaned about twelve times a month."
"Twenty times actually!" I teased.
"So is he nice Bren. Does he do it for you?"
I don't know what you mean" I teased again." And anyway he is too old to be a toy boy, he is in his early their ties like us."
"The term 'toy boy' refers to any age Bren so come off it. You are having a piece of jolly aren't you?."
"That is precisely between me and the gate post, clever clogs."
"You don't have a gate post"
"Ha-ha, very funny. But I do have a charming window cleaner."
"My windows are dirty, I can't seem to be able to get one, Can you ask if he will do mine Bren"
"You will try anything Janice. He is mine okay - and anyway his list is full so you will; have to look for your own toy boy."
Ahh! So you admit it then Bren. He is your bit on the side. What would Robert think?"
"There is no stopping you is there. I will not go0 into that. I know you fancy the guy, he is my radiant Adonis and no mistake, but he is not for sharing, even my best friend..."
Janice looked forlorn and I was maybe being too harsh with her. But she does get on my tits sometimes. I've seen her eyeballing him...
