“Oh isn’t she gorgeous.” David smiled as Melody hopped on to him. He held a little berry and she took it. The girls sighed as they watched.
“Right Melody. Time for bed.” Melody hopped straight in to David’s golf shirt. He chuckled as he got up.
“New bedroom.” He walked out and they all chuckled. He soon came back and walked in to the bedroom.
“Right ladies. Did you want me?”
“Now I came to say goodnight.” David smiled and hugged them both at the same time. He kissed them both on the cheek.
“Owwwww!” David roared with laughter.
“We are not matchsticks you know!” Amanda grinned.
“Goodnight you two.” They both chuckled as they got up and walked out. David smiled as he walked through and had his shower. He checked on the girls and put their lights out. He walked to the bedroom and closed the door.
Amanda smiled.
“What a lovely day.” David smiled as he hopped in to bed.
“Yes it was.” He held Amanda in his arms. They wriggled down in to the bed. David started to kiss Amanda. He peeled her pajama pants off and slipped her top off. He groaned as he felt her little suit. He ran his hand all over her body. He rolled over her and smiled and kissed her. She smiled as she took his T-shirt off and pulled his shorts off. He kissed all the way down her body and peeled her suit off. Amanda let out a little groan. She slowly rolled David over. She started to kiss all the way down his body. She took his rock hard shaft in to her hand and took him in to her mouth. David let out a loud groan as Amanda started making love to him with her hands and her mouth. She felt every move that his body made. He was almost gasping for air when he pulled her up.
Amanda smiled as she eased herself over his erection. She moved ever so slow so that they could both feel the pleasure. She moved a little faster and David held her hips. She knew he was going to ejaculate. She moved faster and faster and suddenly slowed down. David looked at her. She smiled as she slowly moved up and down. He smiled and held her hips and let out a slow groan as he ejaculated. Amanda kept moving. She felt the orgasm coursing through her body. She almost collapsed on top of David. She started to giggle.
“You never said it would be such hard work.” David roared with laughter.
“You are glowing.” They both roared with laughter.
“I am not laughing. But I can’t even feel my legs.” David held her to his body.
“Amanda I am speechless.”
“David I am speechless. Words fail me.” David held her in his arms on top of his body.
“Must be my suit.”
“I think it is the body in the suit.” Amanda looked up and kissed David.
“I love you.”
“I love you. Right now. I want a date.”
“But we went on a date.” David chuckled.
“A date to marry you.” Amanda smiled a wide smile.
“I leave that in your hands. I can work my way around it.” David smiled and nodded.
“It is going to be very soon. The sooner the better.” Amanda chuckled and nodded.
“Hate that long winded surname of mine.”
“So you prefer MacGuire.”
“I do. It has such a nice ring to it.”
“Good. I will love calling you Mrs. MacGuire.” Amanda chuckled and nodded.
Amanda woke up and felt for David.
“David where are you?” She smiled as she hopped out of bed and took her coffee. She walked over to the window and looked out. David looked up.
“They dragged me in here!” Amanda chuckled.
“Morning everyone!” The girls both grinned as they looked up. They all hopped out of the pool. David dried himself off and walked inside. He checked on Melody who was fast asleep. He checked on Patsy and her kittens. He ran up the stairs.
“Now that was a really good workout. I did ten laps.” Amanda chuckled as she stood and got dressed.
“Mrs. Dudley is whipping up a storm.” Amanda grinned and shook her head. David smiled as he got dressed. They ran down the stairs and walked in to the kitchen.
“And did you enjoy yesterday?”
“We did.”
“Your family glad they know where you live?” David nodded.
“I think we ironed out quite a bit.”
“Good to get rid of the starch every now and then.” David nodded and smiled as he sat down. Nicola shook her head.
“Do you know? You and Mrs. Dudley sure do talk funny. What has starch got to do with the family?” Mrs. Dudley chuckled.
“Well you have to think. And it makes you think. What do you use starch for?”
“To stiffen things.”
“Right. And why do you need stiff relatives?”
“Oh I get it. So you get rid of all the starch and the thing gets all nice and soft.”
“Exactly like that. Family should be at ease with each other. Comfortable to say their bit. In a nice way. But you don’t need them all stiff and snooty.” Victoria nodded.
Amanda sat down and smiled.
“Today I am dipping on the Emerson spread.” They all nodded. David smiled.
“Today I am digging foundations on the Emerson spread.” The girls gurgled with laughter as Amanda and David looked at each other.
“Today I am baking biscuits for the shop.” Victoria and Nicola looked at each other.
“Now that is so strange. We are working at the Emerson spread today. But. Big but here. We are being paid. An hourly rate. Because good old Jeeves is down and out with Gonorrhea.” Amanda groaned.
“Diarrhea. Please. Remember diarr. I do not think he would like people thinking he has Gonorrhea.” Mrs. Dudley hid her grin. David looked away and hid his smile. Nicola nodded.
“What has he got Nicola?”
“Dying from the rear.” David roared with laughter.
“So we are going to stand in for him.” Amanda smiled and nodded.
“So put your nice smellies on because by the end of the day you are not going to be smelling so good.” Victoria looked at Amanda.
“You will smell like dip.”
“Oh.” Nicola grinned.
“It is going to be so good.” Amanda nodded and smiled. David looked at the little smile on her face. He knew the smile. The girls were going to be working very hard. They just didn’t realize it yet.
Everyone got up.
“Would you ladies like a lift?”
“Never thought about that. Not to worry. Actually. Are you going to be there all day?” David nodded.
“Well that would be a good idea. You can drop us all off.” David chuckled and nodded.
“You might have to sit at the back on the way home.” Amanda chuckled. They all got up and hopped in the van. Mrs. Dudley ran out with lunch boxes for everyone. David took his flask and smiled. He drove over to the Emerson spread and dropped everyone off. He drove to his area where he would be working. He smiled as he looked up. His little family was in sight. He could hear and see everything that was going on. David started with the foundations. He started measuring out and put all his little markers in place. It would be a tedious job. But it was different for a change. He would be doing a little physical labor.
Amanda had everyone doing their bit. The animals had to be driven from the pen through the alley that had been set up. They went in to the trough and had to be pulled straight out and helped if they could not do it by themselves. Everyone rotated positions every now and then so that they didn’t get too tired. Victoria stood at the gate and let the sheep through. She looked up at Amanda as she pulled the sheep through. It was tough going.
Everyone stopped for lunch. David smiled as he walked over and took a seat next to Amanda.
“And how is it going?” She nodded and sank her teeth in to the sandwich.
“I am starved. All I could think about is what is for lunch.” David roared with laughter.
“And how is your side going?”
“Doing well. It is good to do a lit
tle physical stuff for a change.” Amanda chuckled and looked at Victoria and Nicola who both lay on their backs eating their sandwiches.
“I think they might be out for the count by six.” David grinned.
“I am going to knock off at four. Your side looks much more interesting.”
Mister Emerson walked over.
“I am impressed with the foundations.” David chuckled.
“Beautiful aren’t they?” Mister Emerson rumbled as he laughed.
“I am going to work till four and come and lend a hand here.” Mister Emerson chuckled and nodded.
“Yes it looks rather interesting from the office window. I see you are working them to the hilt Doc.” Amanda chuckled.
“Hard going but we will finish by six.” Mister Emerson chuckled as David offered him a sandwich. He smiled as he took one.
“Something about a gathering like this. It might be hard work. But it seems to lift the spirits. The chatting that goes on. Then when they return to the bunkhouse it really is a chit chat.” David nodded.
“Oh we have the chit chat at the supper table.”
“Sometimes I am glad for it. Your eyes also want to spontaneously close?” David roared with laughter and nodded.
“Oh many a time. Jo-Beth just can’t understand that. Reckons I get far too much sleep.” Amanda grinned and nodded.
“The young keep us young.”
“They sure do.”
Everyone got up. It was back to work. David chuckled as he walked over. He looked at the foundations. If the girls were free he would get them working the following day. At their rates. He chuckled to himself. When everyone got together it was like one big family. Everyone knew each other. He looked up as Jeeves came and sat down.
“And how are you feeling?”
“Kind of light.” David chuckled.
“Have you taken something?” Jeeves shook his head.
“Just had far too much fatty food last night. Kind of sailed through the system.” Mister Emerson walked over.
“How are you feeling Jeeves?”
“I will be back tomorrow. Had to come out and see what all the noise is.”
“Oh did you hear that?” They all roared with laughter.
“Your Victoria kind of got dipped.” David grinned.
“Head too?”
“She was saved. Gary grabbed her by the hair.” David chuckled.
“And I was kind enough to say I would give them a lift home.” Mister Emerson grinned.
“That dip sure does honk.” David chuckled.
“I guess we might be eating outside tonight.” Jeeves grinned.
“So have you set a date yet?”
“Hell. I have to do that today.”
Mister Emerson smiled and nodded.
“Would you like me to get Jo-Beth to book the church?”
“Hell would you mind?”
“Not at all.” Mister Emerson walked off smiling.
Jeeves sat and chatted. Mister Emerson walked back half an hour later.
“Two weeks. The church is booked. Suit you?” David grinned and nodded. He handed David a piece of paper with the number and name of the pastor, the time and all the details. David smiled as he took it and put it in his back pocket. Jeeves chuckled.
“We never thought the Doc would ever get married. And then she imported you.” David roared with laughter.
“And changed the import in to a local. I have come to realize that I am not a city dweller.” Jeeves chuckled and nodded and got up. Mister Emerson smiled and nodded.
“Some folk don’t like it out here. But those that do absolutely thrive.” They all nodded. David looked at his watch.
“Off the job. I am going to go and join them. See you tomorrow.” Mister Emerson looked at his watch.
“And out here time flies.” David chuckled and nodded.
“Oh let me square up.” Mister Emerson handed David an envelope of cash.
“You sure you want to do this daily?” Mister Emerson nodded.
“Prefer it that way. Don’t want to face a huge figure on a Friday. Bad for indigestion.” David chuckled as he put the envelope away. He walked towards the dipping station.
He pitched in and helped. It was grueling work. And everyone stank like the dip. It was just gone six when the last sheep went through the trough. Amanda nodded and smiled.
“Thank you everyone.” They all greeted and headed to their bunkhouse. David smiled and hugged Amanda as they walked off.
“So you went for a little dip Miss MacGuire.”
“How embarrassing. Gary grabbed me by the hair.” Amanda grinned.
“A first. But you did get the round of applause.” Nicola chuckled and nodded.
“You won’t get any ticks Victoria.” Victoria grinned. Duncan ran up.
“Oh ladies.” They both turned and he gave them each an envelope.
“Whoa!” Duncan grinned as he walked off.
“And if you are free tomorrow I would like to employ you. At your hourly rate.” Victoria grinned and nodded.
“Digging?”
“Yes. Would you like to join me?” They both nodded. Amanda chuckled.
“I am glad you joined us.”
“I haven’t done that before. I didn’t realize that trough is that deep. When you think a dip you think of a dog and a little tub and you gently dip it. But not the volumes like today.”
“And we do this once a year on every spread. Keeps everyone nice and fit. I wonder what is for supper?” Victoria giggled.
“Darn I am starved. I hope Mrs. Dudley cooked a whole cow.” David grinned and nodded.
David drove everyone home. They walked in.
“Out! Right through that door!” David roared with laughter as Mrs. Dudley marched them all straight through the house out of the door.
“And supper will be here in two seconds.” They all grinned as she walked inside. David took a whiff of his armpits. They all roared with laughter.
“We will have to anti dip tonight.” Nicola chuckled and nodded. Mrs. Dudley walked out with the huge roasting dish. She was in and out. They soon dished up for themselves. Amanda nodded as she took her first mouthful.
“I love a stew. I needed a stew.” They all nodded.
“Don’t touch the animals before you have showered.” They all nodded. They finished their meal and all headed for their shower.
David stood under the shower and smiled. They didn’t smell. They absolutely stank. He let out a little chuckle as he thought of Victoria falling in to the trough. It wasn’t funny. And it could be dangerous. But it was something that would never happen again. And it was quite an experience. He hopped out of the shower and got dressed in his clean clothes. He ran down the stairs. Amanda ran up.
“Don’t touch me.” She gurgled with laughter as she ran and went to have her shower.
David walked to little Melody and she hopped straight in to his shirt. He sat in the kitchen and had a cup of coffee. Amanda walked through and smiled.
“All nice and fresh. And you wash and you wash and you wash.” David chuckled and nodded.
“I did exactly the same. And I didn’t spend much time down there.” Amanda nodded.
“Did Mister Emerson pay you for the day?” Amanda nodded.
“He did. You?” David chuckled and nodded.
“I come home with an envelope in my back pocket every day. He paid me till six. Which was really not necessary.”
“I would have done the same.”
“I keep putting the envelopes in to the drawer. I have to do a count and do a deposit.” Amanda nodded.
“On track?”
“Way over target. I had the church booked today. Mister Emerson’s wife booked it for us.”
“I am glad. Just tell me when. I need a dress and loads of other things.” David nodded and smiled and hugged Amanda in his arm.
“Hello Melody. I saw the wriggle.” David smiled and looked down.
“She is looking up. Oh ther
e we go. Eyes are closed.” Amanda chuckled and peeped in his shirt.
“Loves her Dad to bits.” David chuckled and nodded as he rubbed little Melody.
Nicola and Victoria ran down the stairs. They both sat and counted their days wages. Amanda smiled as they counted.
“Is there danger pay included?” Victoria chuckled.
“Thank you Dad.”
“We need to get a tin.” Amanda chuckled.
“You girls are actually supposed to be on holiday. Which reminds me. I need to spend a little time in town.”
“Oh we could come with.” David chuckled.
“We will all have to go. Shop together and then split up. Christmas is almost here.”
“Saturday?” David nodded and smiled.
“This time I am taking the trailer.” Amanda chuckled and nodded.
CHAPTER 20
It was Friday. David drove with the family. He dropped Victoria and Nicola off with Don and Claire. He drove Amanda to her Friday evening session. He smiled as he watched her perform. He loved what he saw. He looked up as Charles and Penny sat down with him.
“Oh this is a nice surprise.” Penny chuckled.
“Charles can you give me a hand tomorrow? I need to move the suite.” Charles nodded.
“And I have a little something to show Amanda. I finished my quilt. Made a set.”
“Good.”
“I used the fabrics that Amanda gave me. Oh it is so beautiful.” David smiled. Penny seemed to be a different person.
Amanda finished her session and came over to David. He hugged her and kissed her.
“Oh this is a nice surprise.” Penny chuckled and nodded.
“Charles is going to lend a hand to load the suite.”
“Oh there goes the boot room.” David roared with laughter.
“And if I can get two desks I am going to get them to deliver and we can load those as well.” Amanda nodded.
“And we all have our shopping lists.” David nodded and smiled.
“Have to get it all tomorrow.” Amanda chuckled.
“Please don’t let me forget wrapping paper. By the yards. I think I should wrap Nicola up and hand her to Victoria for Christmas.” David roared with laughter.
“Are they getting in your hair?”
“No but it would be such a surprise.” Penny gurgled with laughter.
