"Hello? Are you here Liam?"
"I'm in your bedroom Izzy." Liam shouted back down to her.
"Ohhhh, you didn't waste your time!" She replied.
Liam rolled his eyes, he heard her heeled shoes clump on the stairs as she ascended. Before getting to her room he shouted. "Now be prepared. It is not looking pretty at the moment, but I promise you..."
"Oh!" Izzy stood in the doorway, with her mouth open.
"I will put everything back and clean up after me." Liam finished. He followed her eyes as they took in the fact that he had moved the bed. She flushed immediately. The exposed portion of her upper chest and cleavage also heavily coloured.
"Oh," she said again. I...I..didn't realise you would have to move the bed... and take up the flooring?"
"Sorry, perhaps I should have waited, or maybe have let you know what I was going to be doing. But I don't have your phone number, and I wasn't aware that you were going to be home early?"
"Don't be silly." Izzy started to recover some of her composure. "As I said yesterday, I trust you implicitly to do what needs to be done. I popped back to make sure you were ok and to make you some lunch. Let me go and grab a coffee for us, and you can tell me what you have found. Would you like something to get your teeth into...and maybe something to eat too?" She smiled innocently at Liam.
"Just the coffee would be fine, thank you Izzy. I drink protein shakes for breakfast and lunch so that I have plenty of energy for the gym, as I am down their most evenings during the week."
"Oh, you 'work out' too. That would explain a lot. Now, how do you have your coffee."
"Just black please."
"Sure thing. I will be back in a jiffy."
Liam watched her leave and turned back to what he was doing. By one of the cables was a dead mouse. It had obviously chewed through the cables and managed to touch the live and neutral together, resulting in its own execution. The cables were still touching, hence causing the 'short'. He pulled the mouse to one side and inspected the rest of the cable for any evidence of chewing. There was a couple of other places where one or more of the inner cables had been exposed. It would be prudent to replace this whole run.
"So," Izzy said returning to the room with two mugs of coffee and a sandwich for herself. "What have you discov...ered. Ohh Liam. I had no idea you would get this messy. I'm so sorry, I should have called in a professional after all."
"Hey, don't worry about it. I get dirty all the time; it is no problem."
"You really are terribly sweet." Izzy raised her leg up behind her, and sat upon the bed so that one leg draped to the floor, the other was trapped beneath her. On that leg, she pulled off her black high-heeled shoe and rubbed her toes as she spoke. "So, have you spotted it?" She asked rather suggestively.
Liam, forgetting that he still had the head-torch on, could not help himself from looking up Izzy's skirt. She had positioned herself perfectly in front of him. It was almost an instinctive thing to do, a uniquely male thing, a thing that probably harked back to his school days, when as a naughty school boy he had attempted to look up the skirt of one of his attractive school teachers. His head-torch and his positioning on the floor, along with the way Izzy was sitting, gave him full access along that beautifully dressed pathway to Izzy's 'enclosure.' What he had assumed to be black tights when he saw her at first, were in fact stockings. His light exposed the dark filigreed, elasticated banding at the top, and her tanned thighs above. He could see her black lacey knickers and could even make out the folds of her vaginal lips beneath. 'Oh, he'd spotted it all right!
'
What he hadn't taken into account, was that the torch shining up Izzy's skirt, not only gave him a great view of her intimate parts, it also gave her a very good idea where he was looking. She coughed to grab his attention, smiling knowingly to herself and staring directly at Liam. She had finally lured him into looking at her as something other than a neighbour, something other than a friend of his mother's, something other than an older woman. He now looked at her with lust in his eyes, and if she wasn't mistaken, possibly that was a stirring in his loins too. Izzy was very pleased with herself.
Liam quickly turned off the torch and rather sheepishly looked up at Izzy's face. But not before he had taken in her very full white blouse and had noted, that a couple of extra buttons had been undone since she last stood in the doorway, her thrusting, deeply curvaceous cleavage, was far more visible. Her long, loose hair, which fell about her shoulders, glowed in the sunlight that streamed into the room behind her. Liam needed no further convincing that Izzy was indeed, an extremely attractive woman. A woman that knew how to dress in a way that would not fail to impress and arouse. Indeed, his cock had certainly started to stir. He was thankful that his overalls would cover everything?
"Did you find anything?" Izzy repeated, making no attempt to withdraw Liam's 'treat'. In fact, she opened her legs a little further to allow him an even better view, knowing now that her panties were probably getting wet as her own excitement began to increase. It had been many a long while, since an attractive man had peered up her skirt.
"Er...ummm...well...yes." Liam watched her slowly move open her thighs, he was entranced and found it difficult to concentrate on anything else. His eyes appeared to be locked to the lengths of her inner thighs, to the stocking tops and black panties beyond. "I found a few things that had been hiding under your floor boards. There were a couple of access holes for mice, which had allowed them to run about upon your ceilings. You probably heard them yes? They..." He paused, 'is that a wet patch on her knickers?'...he couldn't think straight, "Errr, sorry, where was I?"
