The phone rang this afternoon and it was Andy. He asked if I would watch the kids while he went to the supermarket. I said yes.
He brought them round and then dashed off shopping because the shops were only open for 1 more hour. I supervised the kids who were doing colouring and then I went in the garden with them to keep an eye on them while they played. There were these bigger boys who are really bad behaved who kept spraying water on them so I just yelled at them 'Get off my bloody garden!' I have no patience for these boys, they are always causing a row and always foul mouthed and I just can't stand them.
Andy turned up a bit later to find all of us sitting in the garden and he said let's go inside, it's too hot, so we did. He had some juice and the girls built railway track.
Andy told me about this classical music concert he's taking the girls to this evening, as part of their home ed and he asked me what I had planned for the week. I told him I am meeting a friend tomorrow.
Those horrible boys came back and were spraying our girls again, so Andy said 'Jo, go and yell at them in your scary voice.'
So I went out there and shouted at them to get off my lawn. Then a minute later, DD2 came in crying because she was soaked from these water guns so we both went out and yelled at the little sods to keep away from our daughters and stop making them cry.
The neighbour came out and we were both standing there in the street so we got chatting to her about home ed (Andy started the convo).
After this half hour 3 way convo, I went back up to the house and left him with the neighbour, except he followed me back up the steps to my house. Now it takes me a while to get up steps so he sort of pushed up behind me on purpose and brushed himself against my...er..arse, for want of a better word!
I turned around and said 'And what exactly are you doing?' And he grinned at me.
We went into the house and he asked the girls to put the toys away because they'd be late for the concert. He sat on the sofa and took my hand again and then kissed me. I looked at him and said 'Andy, the last time this happened you got scared. You f**ked me senseless for four and a half months until I was totally besotted with you and then you ran away.' He said 'I know'. 'So' I said to him, 'I'm not doing this with you if you're going to run away again. It has to be for keeps this time.' 'I'm not going anywhere' he answered. I would have mentioned OW2 but he was just about to leave so I didn't feel it was the right time. He kissed me again and wouldn't let go and said he didn't want to leave.
DD1 said she'd put the toys back so I kissed all the DD's goodbye and DD4 had a cuddle with Andy, then he told them to go and get in the car.
I followed him to the door to say goodbye when he just grabbed me and kissed me again and he was shaking. We pulled away from each other and he went to wash his face in the bathroom as he was seriously in a state by this time
Then he whispered 'I'm coming back.' at me, and left.
