I walk through the garage, say hi to the lads and carry onto the office. Looking through the window, I see her. Standing in front of the filing cabinet, hair up showing off her gorgeous pale neck.

I quietly open the door and creep in, leaving it open behind me so she doesn’t hear. Tiptoeing towards her I wrap my arms around her waist, as she jumps in shock and shouts out.

“For fucks sake Adam - you scared me, you dickhead.” She turns and slaps on the chest emphasising her frustration, not that I need to be shown. “My heart’s pounding. How did you get in here so quietly?”

“I’m stealthy.”

Smirking, she shakes her head at me as I kiss down her neck. “What do I owe the pleasure of this visit?” she groans.

“I missed ya!” Kissing back up her neck until I reach her luscious lips, I kiss her.

“I missed you, too.” The frown that’s creasing her forehead has now turned into a shy smile.

“So, have you got that underwear on?”

“At work? I don’t think so. Who’s going to see it here?”

“Nobody! Only me!”

“Exactly.” She grips my t-shirt in her fists and pulls me towards her and kisses me, reminding me that I’m the only one for her.

DARCY

I was losing the will to live with this filing before Adam came in, which of course was a nice surprise. I did miss him last night too - it took me ages to go to sleep. I missed his warm body against mine and taking up all the bed.

Once Adam has kissed the life back into me I sit down at the desk. Adam sits on the opposite side and puts at least a hundred leaflets - what looks like anyway, on the desk.

“What are these?”

“The flyers that Taylor promised you, she rang me to pick them up.” I leaf through them and take a good look, they’re amazing. Bright and colourful, big letters for the garage name - family owned, a basic price list… wow! I carry on looking through, I’m gobsmacked. I wasn’t expecting anything like this.

“Oh my gosh Adam, these are sooo good! I’ll have to ring Taylor later and thank her.”

“I’m going to take them in a sec and ask some businesses to put them in their windows, get the word out and about.” I look past Adam and out of the window of the office. “It seems busy today though?” Adam says distracting me from my thoughts.

“So-so. Just a couple of MOT’s today. I got a service to do in a bit but two twenty-five pounds MOT’s aren’t going to keep us afloat.” My eyes find Adams again, “It’s getting harder and harder to keep it going Adam. How do I tell my Dad?”

Standing from his chair he walks around the desk to me and swivels my chair around to him as he squats. “Look let’s get these flyers out - who knows it may help. I could ask Todd to come and have a look through the books, another pair of eyes may help.”

“I can’t afford to pay him though, Ad.”

He frowns at me as he answers, “Todd won’t want to be paid, he’ll want to help.” He says as he runs his hands up and down my thighs.

“But you’ve all done so much already, I couldn’t possibly ask for anything else.”

“Hush,” he shushes as he leans up and presses his lips to mine and kisses me before I can say anything else. “I’m going to put these out. I’ll be back - maybe even with a surprise for ya.”

Smiling as he kisses me again, he leaves with the flyers. I turn back to the filing cabinets and sort the last few invoices that I’ve had piling up on my desk until my appointment gets here.

My service arrives. It’s an older Volvo, fifteen-years-old to be precise. The owner is an older man, he knew my Dad when he kept the garage so I usually do him a deal.

“Are you waiting for your car Mr Jones or are you coming back for it?”

“I’ll wait, my angel, if that’s okay with you?”

“Yeah of course, take a seat in the office and I’ll get you a cup of tea while you wait. Still white with two sugars?”

“Yes darling. You’re such a credit to your father. How is the old bugger?”
