It has been years since I knew Andrew and Anne, we first met when I was working in London, it was the first house I decorated, a beautiful Georgian house situated in Devon, with 5 bedrooms, huge living room, kitchen, study room, games room etc etc. They are extremely delicious couple, easy to get along with and wicket sense of humour like I have, we strike the moment we met.
We were supposed to have dinner together, but something comes up Andrew and Anne couldn't have dinner with me. He forgotten that he and Anne was invited to have dinner with his father in law and some relatives. So we postpone our dinner to the next day, since I am going to in London for 10 days, we decided that we will have dinner on Wednesday.
I was strolling down James street when my phone rang, I answered and it was Andrew.
Where are you James?
Shopping and strolling down James street. What's up?
Would you like to join us for dinner tonight at my Father in law house? I've told him about you, he said that there is always a space for my friend. There is a catch though.
What is it? Don't tell me I have to wear my thong to impress you father in law. We both laughs. Andrew and Anne know I am gay. We always have good laughs.
You have to wear a suit, he always insisted we wear a suit to his party.
No problem Andrew, I have suit, but what should I bring to the party?
Nothing, we will meet you at your hotel for a drink before we go to the party. How does 5.30pm sound to you?
That's fine Andrew see you and Anne later.
It was only 12.15 pm I have plenty of time. Stop in a bar for a light bar lunch and when to Frazers on way to get a gift for Anne.
I was all dressed in my Armani blue marine suit, light blue shirt, a dark pair of blue sapphire cuff links, and a dark blue with red tie. Satisfied that I look good enough, I when into the lobby to wait for Andrew and Anne.
It was a perfect timing, just has I was walking out of the lift, Andrew and Anne entered the lobby. I have always have a thing for Andrew, in his mid 50's, he is a very good looking English man and Anne is a stunning woman, both of them are made for each other, a striking couple.
We greeted each other with French kisses on the cheeks. You look absolutely beautiful Anne, you look younger every time I see you, want to share your secret?
It must be me, Andrew said.
We laughs.
Now that the boys are out of our ways, we have a peaceful life, no stressed, just living a simple life. Anne replied.
It definitely suit you Anne. I turned to Andrew.
Look like someone is growing grey and getting old, what happened? Anne and I laughs, Andrew have a smirk on his face.
Madame is very demanding person, I have to be on my toes all the time.
As long as you're on your toes not your head. I chipped in.
We all laughs. We always have great fun chatting. It has been years and years, we knew where our weak point are, oh and we do take advantage of it to teased each others.
I ordered a bottle of Moet and we relax on the sofa in the hotel lounge.
Have I met your dad before Anne?
I think you have, when you came over to renovate our house and maybe in our apartment in London for dinner.
It has been a long time, I doubt I remembered him.
Oh but he remembered you, when Andrew mention your name. He said you are welcome to join us. so here we are.
So how are you old boy, still having fun with your cars? Andrew love cars, he have I think about 5 or 6 cars. The last one he brought was an Aston Martin.
He spend so much time with his car, he neglected me. Anne say.
I did not, I only spend time in the morning and some times in the afternoon.
You know me James, me and my cars, my only hobby. We took our vintage Royce roll to the country show a few weeks ago, it was amazing, there are a few very nice cars and I am thinking of buying another one.
No you're not. How many do you want? The garage is nearly full. Anne say.
Nearly my dear, just one more it will be full. He laugh. Anne poked him on his ribs.
So which car are you having us in tonight?
Roger will drive us tonight in his Bentley. Anne say.
Didn't know Roger still work with you, I thought he had retired.
We all laughs, Roger is only in his mid 50's, a stocky, bald but very nice man. He have worked for them for 15 years I think.
Anne was surveying me up and down.
You haven't change a bit James, always the gorgeous looking guy we met so many years ago, you age well too. We are almost same age, one or 2 years gives and takes differences.
Very kind of you Anne, I am extremely well, been busy but I always look after myself.
You're still single?
Yap.
She hold my hand, you're still grieving aren't you?
I didn't say a word.
How long has it been?
5 years.
Oh James, I am happy to see you but you have to let it go, he would want you too.
I know, just not at the moment, I am happy just by my own, really I am.
She squeezed my hand and lean over to kiss my face.
We better go, or her old man would be wondering where we are.
We arrived and was let in by the servant to the reception room.
Anne dad's rushed over to greet them.
I was wondering where you were.
Dad remembered James?
Of course I do, how could I not. That funny guy that always make me laughs. Nice to meet you again James.
Nice to meet you Sir.
Anthony would do please.
Thank you Anthony nice to have meet you again.
I honestly don't remembered him at all, he is a distinguished man in his mid 70's. He is tall, big like a bear, beautiful blue eyes, clean shaved, that face, so attractive, why can't I remembered him?
Come join us, he hold my arms and guide me to his group of friends and relatives. He was talking but his hand are still on my arms. Like don't you dare go anywhere type of hold.
I was seated beside him during dinner. He turned to me. Where have you been all this time and why didn't you visit me?
I was taken back. Did we had a thing together? I don't remembered if we did.
I've been busy working and travelling.
Still has an interior designer?
Yes.
I have a proposition to make and we shall discuss it after dinner.
What about?
I want you to renovate this house. Could you do it?
I have to think about it.
No, you will do it. His voice authority. I will give you a proposal you couldn't resist it.
I look at him in his blue eyes. I say. Really?
Yes really, with his cheeky smile.
After dessert are served, he asked me to follow him to his study.
Want a drink?
A cognac would be nice thank you.
He sat opposite me, sipping his cognac.
Now, here is my proposals, I want this house revamp, but not too modern, I still want character in it, I want to have it brighten up, it is getting old.
Like you? I say.
He took a sip of his cognac.
Old but everything still working.
Yeah right. What else?
You can stay here while you renovate this house, I will pay you this amount for your time and the rest when you finish.
It is a proposal I can't refused. It is a very generous proposal.
When would you like to stay?
Whenever you're ready, I suppose you have to draw up a plan?
Yes, it will take me about 3 months and most probably 6 months to finish what you want, that is of course if you like what I draw up. I will show you the design, if you want to change it we can and I will go back to draw up again.
So when can you start?
I have to finish what I am doing at the moment, another 2 months. So will be in March, I will try to finish it before Autumn.
That sound good. Why don't you come over to have lunch with me tomorrow, I can show you the house.
Alright.
He sipping his drink but his eyes surveying me.
If there is nothing else I will join Andrew and Anne.
He stood up, walk toward me, extended his hand to me. I grab his hand and he pull me up, we were standing inches from each other. His eyes looking through mine.
You don't remembered do you?
What?
You seduced me and I fall for you.
I am sorry I don't remembered anything happened between us.
But I do. Something I would never forget. He grab my hand and put it on his crotch. Maybe you remember this. He got hard instantly. Geez at his age, he is very hard.
You might have to show me more.
He laugh, you are very cheeky and I love it, you always make me laugh. Tonight is not the time, maybe tomorrow. Now we better go join them.
