I was so upset when my granny passed away that I cried for nearly a week and even had to take a few days off work because of my grief. I still miss her today and would much rather she was still with us even though she was so generous to me in her will. It transpired that my grandparents were very astute and although they lived very modestly, they quietly built a substantial fortune amounting to nearly one million pounds sterling. My mother and uncle were the main beneficiaries but when everything was finally settled, all five grandchildren received cheques for just over fifty thousand pounds each.
That was a few months ago and although I really wanted to share my windfall in some way with Ebony she refused to accept money so we agreed that I would pay to have a new kitchen installed in our apartment.
After several trips to his showroom and a couple of home visits, Matt Johnson was now sitting at our kitchen table on that Wednesday evening finalising the plans and designs so that Ebony and I could proceed. After a little further negotiation I signed on the dotted line and handed over a cheque for the deposit.
We were all pleased that a commitment had finally been made and we knew that Matt's team would do a great job. Ebony opened a bottle of wine and brought three glasses to the table. Matt was reluctant at first but agreed to have half a glass to celebrate doing the deal and, with the business completed, we started to make small talk.
"What does the rest of the evening hold for you Matt?" I asked.
"One more appointment this evening and then home." He replied.
Ebony asked him if he was married and he revealed that his wife had recently moved in with another guy so as far as he was concerned, his relationship was more or less over.
"You'll be going home to an empty house then." I said.
"Not quite," He replied, "She left the cat with me."
He said it in a humorous kind of way but I detected a hint of bitterness in his voice.
I winked at Ebony and said to him, "You could always spend the evening with us and play some games."
He took it as a purely innocent comment and said, "Tempting as that is ladies, I must head off to my next call." Then he finished his wine, closed his case and stood up ready to leave.
At the door he shook both our hands, thanked us for the order and off he went.
As she closed the door behind him Ebony said, "Shame."
"Crying shame." I concurred.
We went back to the kitchen to retrieve our drinks, which is when I noticed that Matt had left his 'phone on the worktop. I rushed out of the building but it was too late and he was nowhere to be seen. I said to Ebony as I got back indoors that I'd drop it off to his showroom the next morning.
About ten minutes later his 'phone suddenly rang. I answered it and he was relieved to discover that he hadn't lost it and asked if he could collect it in about half an hour.
"He's coming back in about thirty minutes." I said to Ebony.
"What do you reckon?" she asked.
"I think we should try don't you?" I replied.
She grinned mischievously and said, "Definitely, let's get organised."
Slightly earlier than we anticipated, the entryphone buzzed and I invited Matt into the building. I'd left our apartment door slightly open but he was still polite enough to ring the bell before venturing in. I was standing in the hallway wearing nothing but high heels and a neck to toe bright red body net that left nothing to the imagination. I made sure he got a full look at my curvy body, plump breasts and erect nipples before saying casually," Hi Matt, your 'phone's through here."
I tossed my long peachy blonde hair and could feel his eyes burning into my rear as he followed me into the kitchen where Ebony was standing in an identical body net in pure white.
He was somewhat flustered and clearly trying his best to act natural by mumbling something about his whole life being in his 'phone but Ebony and I had decided that we weren't in the mood to take 'no' for answer this time.
