I had worked for my uncle Tony for 24 years, he had bought houses, and retail outlets for years, all over the UK, some small, some big, It was a very enjoyable job, and I we had many good laughs, and he had taught me all his building skills, and showed me the ropes of building a strong portfolio, of houses, flats and retail as well as office building etc. His death came as a huge shock, his family were devastated, he had a beautiful wife Sue, an Accountant, and two lovely daughters, we had a joint interest in some of the properties, and our own, after his funeral I went to a meeting with his wife, their Solicitor and his daughters, we worked out what ends needed tying up in respect of jobs etc, his wife was going to be my business partner in name, and his daughters were getting involved in buying properties to be done up, sold or rented out. There was a file with details of Tony’s next job, a cottage on Cornwall, beautiful, but quite a lot of work needed, it was a female cousin of Tony’s who lived in Spain that had purchased it, and Tony had promised to start it in summer! But summer had gone, Tony’s wife was frantic, Alecia is coming over a week next Thursday, she spoke to me at Tony’s funeral, remember her? To be honest, I could not, oh come on, tall, dark hair, slim, very sexy! I laughed, oh! I think I remember, lol can you get up, get the water on? Sort some power out? Some heat. I will of course, and I’ll get more done hopefully. Before she arrives. I had divorced three years earlier, my fault, lust, I’d lost a beautiful wife by being unfaithful! We still got on, and with the travel and hours I worked, and the fact I’d cheated, my wife could not live with it, I had two young children, 8 and 12 and lived near by, and financially we were well off, hard work and good investments, my ex wife was seeing a much younger man, an Australian called Dan, to be honest a really nice decent bloke, who was a good decent guy. I traveled to Cornwall four days before the cousin of Tony was to arrive, tge weather had turned, lots of rain, I arrived early afternoon, and got to work clearing up, and connecting a squashed water pipe, bongo! Water was back on, the cottage was quite remote, and I wanted light before the evening set in, there was electric, but nothing worked! So I set up some large power banks that worked 13volt led lights, I’d get a night out of them easy, and charge them the next day with my trusty diesel generator. I made a nice toasty fire in the fire place, and blew up my double air bed, I cooked beans on toast on the fire, and was enjoying the peace whilst listening to the rain bouncing off the roof and enjoying my glass of scotch, when a banging on the door nearly stopped my heart, who the hell? I asked myself, when I got to the door it was Alecia, omg your soaking! Her jeep was parked a bit from the house, as my van was blocking the driveway on purpose, come in, are you ok? Yes, sorry! I’m early, hope you do not mind? She looked beautiful! Skin tight leggings and high boots with a woollen jumper, her hair scaling down under a grey woken hat, she kissed me on the cheek, ooh whisky? Nice, I said no it’s scotch, she laughed snd said are you sharing? I pulled a chair up to the fire, and poured her a glass, she said you have it looking so cosy! We talked about her cousin, and the cottage, her accent was broken Spanish and english,
