John wanted to roll over and go back to sleep but Melody wouldn't let him.
"It's Saturday, Mel. We can work in the yard all day long. Give me another couple of hours. Come back to bed and let me feel the warmth of your breasts. You like to wrap your warm thighs around me. Come wrap 'em baby!"
Melody laughed, "You know I will reward you at the end of the day if you help me."
"I know and I fall for it every time.
"And have I ever disappointed you? Have I not participated in all your fantasies?"
John had to agree. Melody and he were made for each other, perfect mates in bed and great friends everywhere else. Since he made enough money, right from the day he married her five years ago, he had forced her to stay at home and enjoy life. Initially Melody was bored with nothing special to do until John got home. But once he was home he kept her busy in the bed and out of it. She learned to relax and take advantage of the freedom her husband gave her – money wise and time wise.
One night, after some fierce love making, Melody said, "John, I can't sit at home doing nothing. I think I should get a part time job or even become a volunteer. It's been five years since I did something useful besides being your playmate. Not that I don't love that part!" She said, laughing.
"Why don't you find a hobby? I am sure there are plenty of things you could get interested in."
"Like what?"
"Why don't you try your hand at gardening? We have a nice sized backyard. You could do some landscaping and plant some trees and bushes. It'll keep you busy. The sun is good for your skin and the exercise keeps you fit and trim."
"Actually I have been thinking about it too, especially after seeing our neighbor's backyard. Brian works in his yard all weekends. I will take up gardening if you promise to help me during weekends." That was a couple of months ago.
He had stupidly agreed and she began to pester him to wake up early on Saturday mornings. John shrugged off his reveries and got up knowing Melody will badger him until he lost his mood to sleep.
Melody was excited when she realized that gardening was indeed a nice hobby to have. She did a lot of research on the internet and finally decided on the perfect layout for her garden. She planned to make it look like a resort! But she also decided to be practical about it. She'd take her time and get John involved and together they would create their dream garden.
To her dismay she soon realized John wasn't into it at all. But she forced him to help her ; however, of late it was getting more and more difficult to get him to do any of the hard work.
This Saturday was no different. He did whatever she asked him to but never really involving himself in the effort.
"John I want you to enjoy our time together. You act like you are not having any fun."
"That's because I am not having any fun, darling. This was supposed to be your hobby, not mine. Why don't you hire a landscape company to give our yard a makeover? You can supervise them and make sure the result is to your liking."
"John, this is my hobby and not a chore to be outsourced. It is also my exercise and time in the sun. All I need are your muscles and your company. I kind of get aroused when I watch your rippling muscles and sweating shoulders. Having someone else do all this would rob us of that fun."
John grumbled but stayed out in the yard all day and helped. On her part, she made sure he had a steady supply of freezing cold beer - that kept him hooked.
Melody ran into her neighbor Jessica at the mall one day. They found a coffee shop and sat down sipping their hot coffee.
"Your yard is beginning to look nice, Melody."
"Thanks. But it is so hard to get John to help me. I wish he would be like your husband Brian."
"Well and I wish I could stay at home like you!" Jessica laughed.
"I know the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence." They both laughed again.
"Why do you bother John? Just get a handy man to help you with the hard jobs."
"In fact John has already suggested that. He even asked me to hire a landscaping company. But I enjoy it more when John's around. He's always making silly jokes and flirts with me. He insists that I wear revealing clothes and even helps me shop for sexy 'garden' attire. He makes naughty comments and fondles my breasts and ass every time that it sort of has grown on me. I am sure if you look into our yard, you'll catch us doing something naughty. Most of the time we are so aroused that we will be tearing off each other's clothes before we even reach the shower."
"Wow, that's too much information, Melody!" But Melody could tell that Jessica had had glimpses of their games.
"If I did hire a handy man just for tough chores, John would escape to his den and I don't want that. We really keep each other entertained. Without him around I might soon get tired of my hobby and turn the whole thing over to a contractor. And that's precisely what John hopes would happen."
"Why don't you hire a young handy man and see how it goes. Just insist that John should be with you all the time. I know a contractor who has a dozen young men always looking for work. But most of them do not speak English. Do either of you speak Spanish?"
"I don't, but my husband does. He's quite fluent in Spanish."
Jessica's eyes sparkled with mischief, "I think your problem is solved. Since you don't understand a word of Spanish and the handy man doesn't understand a word of English, John cannot leave you two alone. You need a translator and that'd be John's job."
Melody smiled, "Maybe you have something there. Can you really get me someone like that?"
