Why Me?
I'm Will, William Body, but nobody calls me that, just Will, I'm an electrician by trade but I can do a lot of things, turn my hand and do a good job anywhere around the house but I don't do Gas, it goes bang as far as I'm concerned.
So I'm twenty five and run my own business, I don't take on anything bigger than a house, but I do alright with that, I'll never make a millionaire or anything, but I'm not that bothered by that amount of money.
All my work I get by word of mouth, I do a good job here and they tell their friends and they come to me next time, it works, and a bonus is that I don't have to travel miles for work.
I lived in a very small one bed house, very old and had done it up over the last four years, my gran had left it to me when she passed on, it had been neglected and was in great need of repair, I was nearly there.
It did me, I'd had a steady girlfriend who last year had moved on, her job offer was too good to pass on and we had parted friends.
I either was asked to pop around to Mrs So and So, or they would give me a call to get a price, my prices varied, if they were old and looked poor it was a cheap job, if they were young and rolling in it, well to my eyes they were then it would be a realistic, competitive price, but I never overcharged.
This Thursday afternoon I answered a call and agreed to go around the following day around lunchtime when I had completed the job I had on at the time.
I knew the area and it was full of big detached houses, most being older, but a few more modern.
This address was of the older variety, the couple that greeted me at the door were dressed like workmen, they had obviously been doing something messy, they had a covering of dust over everything they had on.
Mr. and Mrs. Best, or please call me Don and this is Liz, said the man who looked to be in his forties, Liz... at a guess was maybe younger, but it was hard to tell from under the dust layer over her.
They invited me in to talk about their requirements, I was having trouble putting them into a category, most rich people didn't get this dirty, they paid for others to do that for them, but these two were rich but much more down to earth than many I'd worked for.
Liz made tea for us, 'get rid of the taste of dust,' they joked, we walked around the whole place with them telling me what they were going to do, I had to point out that some weren't going to work and showed them why.
We walked around the garden, more like a farm to me, with sheds and two big barns, the plans for how they saw it, it was all in their heads, very little on paper as far as I could tell.
We went back to the kitchen, I knew it was the kitchen, it had a cold water tap hanging off the wall that dripped into a bucket.
Liz made fresh tea, and chocolate biscuits from the packet was offered.
We took it outside, less dust to breathe in they joked.
We talked and the only thing that I could price for them was a job that wasn't going to be possible until most of the rest of the job had been completed, there just wasn't enough information and so much could and would change without proper plans.
I liked them, but I didn't want to tell them anything that they would come back and say that I had lied about, I tried to put them off but for some reason they were, it seemed to me, determined to have me do their work.
They insisted that I went to dinner with them that night, I hadn't anything else planned so agreed, they were living in the little house by the gateway entrance, it was a three bed house, three times the size of my place if not four times as big.
I try not to stare at any woman, but I couldn't help it when Liz opened the door, she had changed completely, now she looked beautiful, nothing like the dirty workman from earlier, I apologised, saying that I wasn't sure it was the same woman, Liz blushed but smiled her thanks, Don was a great host and Liz's cooking was great, it had been a while to have a meal cooked for me.
The chat was easy, they were very friendly and they joked with one another and made me laugh with them.
When we sat down after dinner they became serious, the talk was now about the work.
I explained my reasons for not wanting to give them a price, too many unknowns, I would have to overprice any work, it just wouldn't be fair to them.
It was Liz who came up with a solution, they would pay me a day rate, not something I did often, but Don jumped at the idea, he would guarantee me a wage every week, if I had another job that I wanted to do then it was fine by them, we haggled a price out, but they gave me the weekend to think about it.
That Monday Liz hugged me in thanks for helping them out as I accepted their offer, I had jobs to do that week and the one after, but they weren't every day so I started there on the Tuesday.
Don worked in the city, as a banker or something to do with the bank, so it was Liz and me who were drinking tea that first morning discussing what and how to go about it, I had to explain to Liz that the roof should have been the first thing to do, it wasn't worth doing a lot of jobs if it was going to leak water on our new work.
I hadn't realised how... not stupid, but unaware of how things like this worked, on the Thursday morning Don was there, I had to explain it to him again, the next week a team turned up, scaffolding and sheeting the roof completely, and the week after a team moved in and reroofed the whole thing, it took two weeks to complete.
I'd never seen such quick work and done up to standard, no shortcuts that I could see, money and people you know joked Don.
I think Don's "if you need something, just ask Liz," I had taken as a bit of a joke, but that stopped that idea, money talks.
Don must have had plenty, he gave me a credit card, "buy anything you need on that," it shocked me, but it made everything easier, I didn't have to pay out and get it back from Don.
Over the next year I did most of the work, I would get in plasters and tilers and wallpaper hangers to speed the job up when the time was right, but Liz and I did a lot of the work on our own.
Liz was a hard worker and didn't mind getting dirty in the process.
Don was there most weekends, he was off on travels for work, the USA, Africa and other places and would be away not more than two weeks at a time.
In the summer I saw Liz in bikini tops and shorts, we would eat sandwiches in the sun or the garage if it was raining just to be somewhere else for a change.
We got on and with Don when he was here, it got to be the usual thing that I eat with them on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, and when they held a party I was expected to attend.
Their friends, all loaded as far as I could see, would talk about the car they had brought, just as a runabout, £40,000 some old car that was not going to pass the test to be on the road until a lot of work had been completed, and sometimes the car was never heard of again.
£40,000 down the drain.
One idiot knew that his Classic car had a petrol leak, so he drove it up to Scotland to have the petrol tank changed instead of putting it on a low loader, more fun he said, I found out later it was really an excuse to take his girlfriend on a weeks getaway, away from his wife, the car never got there, it caught fire, surprise surprise, and to cap it all he only had third party insurance, no fire and theft, total loss, but he was more upset that his wife berated him for putting his girlfriend in danger, she knew about her and him.
I'd stayed a few nights when Don had made me drink too much and it wasn't safe for me to drive, but it was at a party at one of their friends, at the end of summer that I saw Liz in a different light for the first time, as more than a friend, as a woman.
As I said, the end of summer and it was lovely and hot, the food and drinks had flowed as was usual, there was a big fire pit that we had gravitated to as dusk became night, several couples had gone home, I was thinking that it was time for me to as well, as I went looking for Don and Liz to ask if they wanted me to drive them home or were they staying the night. I walked into the lounge and looked around.
I saw a couple kissing on the loveseat in the window, and then a couple making out on a sofa, she had her top off and it was obvious that her hand was in his trousers.
It was then I saw Don, or rather his back, he was nude, or as near as he could be, Liz who he was gently riding in the missionary position on a second sofa had her top pulled down and her skirt was pulled up giving Don access to her treasure, Liz had pulled herself up and was looking over Don's shoulder, but she wasn't seeing what was in front of her, me, her eyes were glassed over, I assumed that she was in the middle of her climax, and I heard Don having his as I stood there frozen in place.
I hadn't expected to see anyone doing that, but to see Liz and Don, well it jarred my mind a bit.
I walked out before they saw me, gave them ten minutes and as I was going back in to find them they were coming out.
I drove them home smelling them in the car, Liz smelled of sex, she was glowing with that just fucked look that some women have.
I was glad to drop them and go home, I needed to get away from them, for some reason I was jealous of Don, and for the first time I could think of, I was jealous of another man.
I made an excuse that I had an emergency job that I just had to do, I didn't go back until Wednesday afternoon.
Liz was there and I tried to act as if nothing had happened, but by three o'clock I was struggling not to look at her inappropriately.
