THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER FORTY THREE
"What do you have in store for today?" I inquire of Kerry as she makes her way downstairs in pursuit of her cup of coffee in the morning.You're here; I assumed you'd still be at Rory's. I was just about to text you."Don't be like that, Kerry. We discussed last night and …."And you fucked up?"No, I was going to add, and we decided that we're not going to put any strain on what we have; instead, we're just going to see each other when we can, with no strings attached and no pressure," the speaker said. "No strings, no pressure."Kerry frowns as she looks up from the coffee machine and glances around the room. "Like you can even do that," they said.I sit up straight and wonder why she has the impression that I can't. Why shouldn't it?"Darcy, you won't be able to handle him if there are other ladies around.""I won't know who he's with," he responded.She shows some form of agreement by nodding her head, but her expression suggests that she is not really convinced. "Ok," she respond
THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER FORTY FOUR
Because we have an early start tomorrow, I want to make the most of my time with Rory tonight before we have to part ways. Again, he is only partially clothed when I enter the room because he has just stepped out of the shower."Do you always stroll around half-naked?" I ask. Not that I'm going to complain about it.He shows a grin. "Yeah, I despise having to wear tops. Ever since I was a kid, even my father often went shirtless." I must just have heated blood.”As I get closer to him, I put my hands on his bare shoulders and rub them together. Oh, I'm not complaining; I was just interested as to whether or not you do that to attract women or whether it's just something you do when you're by yourself.You can always find me in my house dressed only in my underwear, regardless of whether or not there is a woman present.After he has prepared some beverages for us, we enter his lounge to have them. His living room is neat, unlike the one I have at home. However, he does not have a toy t
THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER FORTY FIVE
Rory has just completed the farewell. When I arrived at work this morning, Kerry's bags were already packed, and she was ready to leave; she didn't want to hang around any longer than necessary.When I saw him heading to the cottage with my top in his hand, his mother's car was still parked in front of his house.He immediately pokes his head in through the door when he sees me. "I suppose this is yours," he says as he hands the top to me. Even though I'm still wearing his, I don't intend to return it to him. As he moves farther into the cottage, Kerry gives him the evil eye while simultaneously beginning to take the luggage to the car without speaking to any of us."Has your mother been able to relax?" I ask.He gives you a grin while rolling his eyes. "Nope, but she will get over that because all she wanted was grandchildren," you said. "Nope."Didn't you tell this hussy that she already has a grandchild waiting for her? "Well, that's a bummer."He is laughing and shaking his head a
THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER FORTY SIX
It's hard to believe that Friday the 18th is already here. This weekend will be a lot of fun since I visit Rory tonight, and I will have him until late Saturday night. After that, Saika, Kerry, Ben and I will travel to Liverpool in the evening.My son, who is two years old and went to his father's place twenty minutes ago, is making me rush around the house tidying up after him right now. In addition, I need to prepare myself, as Rory just called and informed me that he was about thirty minutes away. Kiran tried to linger, but I convinced him to leave the house. He persisted in asking when we would go out again, but the month he wanted to go out had already passed, and I had not changed my mind about my decision.I can't remember the last time I felt this thrilled about something, and the door was about to open. My farmer has arrived, and I couldn't be happier if I were a pig in shite.I haven't had direct eye contact with him for the past five weeks, so when I finally do, I greet him
THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER FORTY SEVEN
I say goodbye to Rory and almost immediately feel sad and lonely since he is no longer in my life. This is an unfamiliar emotion for me because I have always been fiercely independent and the kind of woman who has never been defined by a relationship with a man.I yawned and suddenly became aware of how exhausted I was from trying to fit everything in with him. When I return to the house, I first head to the master bedroom and try to get a few hours of sleep. I felt I could sleep for a week straight, yet I had only set my alarm for two hours. That gives me an hour to get ready before the rest of the gang comes to fetch me before we go. Because we have reservations at a reasonably priced Premier Inn, all that is left is to unpack our belongings before we can get going."Are we prepared to deal with this?" As I get inside the car, I ask the question. Ben is behind the wheel, while Saika is sitting in the passenger seat next to him. Kerry is standing behind us here with me. Everyone laug
THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER FORTY EIGHT
My other friends soon join us, and we make our way together to the after-party. I enjoy being on Tony's arm since it provides a pleasant sensation, and we have a wonderful rapport. I know he will feel let down when I check out this restaurant and head back to my hotel. I just can't do that to Rory, and I have no plans to let this go any farther than a night of flirtation and the occasional passionate embrace between us.As my friends get ready to go, he begs them to remain with him by saying, "Stay with me. I have the suit at a nice hotel.""I can't," I respond, even though, if I'm being completely candid with myself, the reason wasn't that I couldn't do it; rather, it was because I didn't want to. We've had a wonderful evening; however, he seems to be getting more full of himself these days, which is rather annoying. I have no idea why I agreed to this in the first place because I do not want him. I don't want anyone else, and if the only thing I ever got was to spend twenty-four hou
THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER FORTY NINE
On the drive back to my house, I was harassed further about filing a report against Tony, but I didn't see sense in doing so because it would involve a great deal of bother and specifics for nothing. People spotted me in the club snogging him while I was dealing with him, and they thought I was enjoying the attention I was getting. Who would believe that a lady who had been all over him earlier in the night wouldn't be gagging for it? That's how I know these dickheads will get away with it. Who would believe that a woman who had been all over him earlier in the night wouldn't be gagging for it?Rory has also been messaging me; he's at some event at a farmers market today, so he's able to text more than he normally would. It's great to know that he cares; he represents the ideal man in many ways. It's no surprise that Jennifer wants to maintain her relationship with him because who could blame her?After the events of yesterday night, Kerry is brought to my house with me since I believ
THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER FIFTY
I keep my mouth shut, and the three of us dine in complete quiet. Kiran foots the cost when the check arrives, and we get up and leave. It isn't until we are in the car that I feel this **** has to be beaten out of me. I don't care. If he finds out about Rory, my life will be much simpler."Kiran, please read this message.""Yeah, I'd think it's quite straightforward, wouldn't you say so?""It's a guy I've been seeing, but as you may have learned through Ben, our relationship isn't serious; I was kissing another guy over the weekend. Oh my gosh, I am beginning to sound like such a hoe because of this.He looks in my direction while he does so. "All right, if the glove fits." Bastard!"What the heck is going on? Are you upset with the fact that I'm seeing someone else?""I am fucking upset with you, Darcy! I thought we were going to give this a go!"You were seen kissing another person a few days ago. You stated that now was the time for us to take time for ourselves and become single.
