It had been about a week since I’d given Amy the ride home that I would never forget and that I hadn’t stopped thinking about it for even a second. She’d continued babysitting for my children as always. Going about her business as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened.
As luck would have it, bad luck that is, each day that week my wife would get home before me and dismiss Amy before I had a chance to offer her another ride home or even be in the same room as her.
So I was left with my memories and fantasies until the weekend came at last. My wife and I have an arrangement that we take at least one day out of every weekend to spend with the kids as we don’t spend a lot of time with them during the week. This weekend was supposed to be an all day trip to the zoo which presented me with the opportunity to have the whole house to myself for a day. My wife wasn’t very happy when I told her that I wouldn’t be able to make it but I explained to her that I had too much work to do and that it would be simply impossible to get it done unless I spent ALL weekend on it. As I sed, she wasn’t happy but she accepted it none the less.
As soon as they were out the door and I had watched the car back out the driveway and drive down the street, I was on the phone to Amy organising for her to come over as soon as possible.
“I’m terribly sorry about the short notice Amy, and I hope it doesn’t inconvenience you in any way…”
“Oh no Mr Andrews it’s fine,” She assured me.
“Great! Again I am sorry Amy and you know I wouldn’t ask you if it wasn’t urgent.” I wasn’t lying really, it was urgent, if I didn’t get at her soon I was sure to explode.
“Really Mr Andrews it’s fine I’ll be over as quickly as I can.” With that she hung up the phone.
