start slow.  Because I don’t want anyone hurt.  Not one of us.”  Amanda nodded.
“We start with the friend bit.  And when you and I are ready we build on it.”  Amanda nodded and smiled.
“Yes.  Your intentions are clear.”
“And it is not the ranch I am after.  Not the car.  Nor the money.  But the woman that I am going to quietly kiss right now.”
    David leaned down and gently kissed Amanda.  She smiled.
“Music?  Noise?  Water?”
“All three.”  She smiled and David chuckled.  He leaned down and kissed her again.
    “ Explain Nicola.”
“Oh easy and quite a chuckle.  Mom and Dad had me.  Then Sydney followed.  He is twenty eight.  Mom went on the injection for years and years.  She discussed stopping the injection because she felt she didn’t need it.  So she did.  You know how the injection works?”
“Yes and no.”
“What happens is they have the injection and don’t have any so called cycle.  But when they stop the injection the monthly cycle starts again.  Well Mom thought nothing of it.  Her cycle started and three months later it stopped.  Naturally she thought change of life.  And then she had all the symptoms.  She kept thinking change of life.  Dad took her to the Doctor.  Oh big surprise.  It was the change of life.  Meaning life would change again.”  David chuckled.
“And Nicola arrived.”
“She did.  Luckily enough I was old enough to help.  I was fourteen.”
“So thirty is not that old then.”  Amanda chuckled.
“Neither is thirty three.”  David smiled and nodded. 
    “And you two are very close.”
“She spends a lot of time with me.  Weekends and holidays.  She is more like my own daughter.  I take her shopping and things like that.  Mom is too old for a teenager.  I don’t mean that in a nasty fashion.”
“But it does help her.”
“It does.  Imagine your Mom having a daughter Victoria’s age.”  David nodded and chuckled.
    “We are all done in here.  Why don’t you go and have your shower or bath.  I am going to have a quick bath.”  David smiled and nodded.  He took the clothes.
“And where do these come from?”
“I have a little staff shop.  I hope they fit.”  David smiled and nodded.  He followed Amanda up the stairs.
“This way.”  She walked in to a gorgeous suite.
“Oh Amanda.  This is beautiful.”  Amanda smiled.
“And the bathroom right over there.  When you are done I need your clothes.”
“Always wanting my clothes.”  Amanda chuckled as David walked over to the bathroom.
“See you later.”  She smiled as she stepped out of the bedroom and walked to her bedroom. She was soon in her bath and lying relaxing.
    “Knock, knock.”
“Yes Nicola.”
“Uncle David says he needs more clothes.  So I am taking yours.  And I put mine in too.”  Amanda chuckled.
“Is Uncle David doing a load of washing?”
“Yes he is.  And he says not to hurry.  He found cream and is making Irish Coffees.”  Amanda chuckled.
“My clothes are in the washing basket.  Help yourself.  Make sure to.”
“Yes.  Fasten the clasp on our bras.  Got it.”  Amanda smiled as Nicola walked out of the bathroom.  Amanda chuckled. 
    She lay in the bath and thought about what David had said.  She liked what he said.  And she did want her own family.  And she rather fancied his looks.  But she liked David the person.  He was genuine.  He didn’t sit and wait to be waited on.  Hand and foot.  He got stuck in and did things as well.  She knew he ran a small business.  But it didn’t matter.  He still tried and kept his head above water.  She smiled to herself.  There was something about David that was different.  They connected.  Even though he was a stranger it felt as though she had known him forever.  It was the first time that she had felt like that about anybody.  Amanda smiled as she hopped out of the bath.  She hopped in to her pajamas.  She walked through
