THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER FORTY
After pretending to look through the trunk for ten minutes, I wipe my eyes and then enter the key's security code. Since Kerry is still talking on the phone in the car, I unlock the door for myself and then proceed into the house to wash my face. I was startled when I heard someone knock on the door, and when I opened it, I was expecting to see Kerry, but it was Rory instead. He is now only wearing a t-shirt as he enters the restroom, where he immediately closes the door behind him and does not utter a word.I veer my gaze away from his eyes and return my attention to the sink.He speaks to me as he lightly places his hand on my arm and says, "Hey." I shrug it off in a combative manner."Let me explain."“Why? I have nothing to do with what you do because I thought I was the only one who cheated."Jennifer and I have been together for the past two years, and just like you, I couldn't stop this. You know better than anyone else how difficult it is to have the same circumstances as we d
THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER FORTY ONE
I had hoped that it was Kerry since then. I wouldn't have to deal with as much drama, but as the car pulls up in front of Rory's house, I'm quite confident that it's not her.“Rory, I overhear you whispering, "I suppose it's your girlfriend." Jennifer exits the vehicle and walks up to the front door of his house to enter. I can hear Rory mumbling as he pokes his head around the corner.I come to a standstill in the hot tub before beginning my ascent. I invite him inside and tell him, "Come in here. She will assume you're someplace about the property."I make a hasty entrance into the cottage, and Rory follows close behind. While I am skipping in front of him and playfully catching his hands, he squeezes my bottom. While the two of us are laughing, he picks me up and carries me over to the leather sofa."What exactly are you up to?" I inquire as our faces come closer together.He responds with a soft murmur, "Kissing you if that's okay."I give him a slight nod and draw closer to kiss
THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT CHAPTER FORTY TWO
As I walk toward Rory's place, I mutter, "Please don't be stood in jeans without a top on," and then I smile.When he finally opens his door, I am relieved to see that he is wearing all his clothes, and I sigh with gratitude. It is more secure this way. I had no intention of having sexual relations with him tonight because it is possible that he has already had sexual relations with Jennifer, and I am not a fan of double-dipping."Can I get you a drink?" As I sit at his kitchen table, he poses the question. His home is toasty and pleasant, and it exudes an air of invitation thanks to the lit lamps and the low volume of the television in the background.I usually respond with, "A coffee will do." "This evening's wine consumption is complete. I can't afford to lose my composure at this point.He is standing behind the refrigerator and looks up at me before shrugging. "All right, I'll have a coffee. However, I would like to have a beer if that is okay with you."No way, just get on with
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
