don’t mind Victoria. But I thought it best we stay the night. Go back in the morning.” “Oh Dad!” She squealed with delight. “And you ladies can make yourselves comfortable upstairs in the entertainment room. But keep the noise levels down. There should be a nice movie on at eight.” Nicola smiled and nodded. They finished their sandwiches. “If you ladies are ready. Go and have your shower or your bath. I will fetch a set of pajamas for Victoria. I will do the dishes and we can all have a relaxing evening.” Nicola and Victoria got up. “Show Victoria the room next to yours Nicola. Or she can sleep in the spare bed in your bedroom. Whichever. I don’t mind.” Nicola smiled and nodded. They both flew up the stairs. “Excuse me for a minute.” She walked up the stairs to fetch a pair of pajamas for Victoria. “When you are changed bring your clothes and I will pop them in the washing machine so that you can wear them tomorrow.” She smiled as she walked to her bedroom and fetched the pajamas. She handed them to Victoria. She walked out and went in to her office. She took a golf shirt and a pair of walking shorts for David from her range of clothing that she sold in the shop on the ranch. She walked down the stairs. “I am afraid I can only help with.” She looked in the lounge. “If you are doing dishes you are going to be in trouble.” David chuckled as she walked in to the kitchen. He was busy washing the few dishes. “David you didn’t have to.” “Has to be done.” She chuckled. “I have a golf shirt and a pair of walking shorts. Pajamas for boys I do not own.” He chuckled. “And once you have taken all your clothes off.” “Then what?” Amanda gurgled with laughter. “Then you have to give them to me.” “And what are you going to do with them?” “Wash them. Then they will be all nice and fresh for the morning.” “Oh I thought you wanted them.” Amanda chuckled. David smiled. “Those two in the shower?” “One is lying on the bed chatting. The other is in the shower. Now they are both singing.” David chuckled. “Is it en suite?” “Yes. I believe in comfort.” David nodded and smiled.
CHAPTER 7 “The things I have seen. A house with six bedrooms. Naturally those were after the renovations. Additional rooms. And the house has one bathroom downstairs. I always asked and what about an extra bathroom? They think you are trying to create extra money for yourself. And then when you have built that extra bedroom they say, you know, an extra bathroom would have been ideal.” Amanda chuckled and took a seat. “I don’t make suggestions anymore. They think you are a gold digger.” “And what suggestions would you make to this house?” “Can’t say. I have been slaving in the kitchen.” Amanda chuckled. “I will show you around.” “At a wild guess.” Amanda nodded. David looked out the window. “All I would do is fill this home with a little family.” Amanda chuckled. “How many little people?” “Oh I am thinking two or three. Definitely two.” “Girls or boys?” “Oh we have the girls. But I don’t mind. It would be nice to have a little boy. By now I am tired of the color pink. Blue would be nice.” Amanda chuckled. “At the tender age of thirty do you think it wise that I start thinking about a family?” “I think so. Because when we get married we are going to have a family.” “Are we?” “Absolutely.” Amanda chuckled. “Thirty? Are you sure about that?” Amanda smiled and nodded. David wiped the basin and let the water run out. He turned around and crossed his arms and smiled. “I hope my intentions are clear enough. I don’t like to wade through the water. I dive in and get what I want.” Amanda smiled. He walked over to her and pulled her up. “But we
