Mia weakly raised her hand and switched off the shower.
"That was amazing, Gordy-pie. Organists really are good with their hands!"
"Not so bad yourself," he panted. "Wow. I enjoyed that immensely! You're quite a lass, Mia."
"I'd like to see you play the organ," she said, stepping out of the shower and reaching for a towel.
"I need to get my breath back first!" He laughed, as Mia began playfully drying him off. "God, you're an eager little beaver aren't you?"
"Heehee. Yes, but what I meant was, I'd like to see you play the church organ. I've not been inside a church for years. Jenna said that St Michael's is cool."
"It's a nice church." I wonder what else she's told her? Gordon thought. "Why not come along to the Sunday service? You can see me in action there, so to speak. After the service, you can have a go on the organ if you'd like. Do you play any musical instruments?"
"Guitar and violin, but I've not practiced for ages."
"Ah, so strings are your thing? That's good. It'd be nice to have a violinist in the choir. One of the choristers plays the trumpet. Which keeps him from singing and I'm glad of it as his voice is bloody awful."
Mia sniggered. "You're funny, Gordy-pie. I really like you. Are all organists as fun as you?"
"Nay lass. I'm one of a kind. He pulled her close and kissed her neck and lips. He was an incredible kisser, and she was curious to know more about him.
"Are you married?"
"Long divorced," came his reply. "I'm married to the pipe organ, as they say." He wondered if Jenna had mentioned anything about their various liaisons over the past year, and was about to say something, when the bathroom door suddenly opened.
"Jen! Ever thought of knocking before entering?" Mia gasped, covering herself with a towel.
"I can't leave you alone for five minutes can I?" She turned to Gordon, who grinned sheepishly at her.
"Um, hello!"
"Funny place to have organ lessons, Gordon," Jenna said, as she watched him squirm.
"Gordy-pie was just showing me how good an organist is with his hands, weren't you?" Mia said, kissing him. "And you know what, he's amazing!"
"Oh I'm well aware of how good he is," Jenna replied, folding her arms.
Sensing disapproval, Gordon attempted to explain. "It just happened. I didn't know your cousin was here," he prattled. "I put the plant pots in the yard, went into the kitchen and she was just there, wearing nothing but a towel!"
"You don't need to explain yourself, Gordy-pie. We've not done anything wrong," Mia said. "We're both single. Why are you so uptight, Jenna? Is it because we're in the vicarage? Is that like, a sin or something?"
Jenna was in no position to claim the moral high ground. "No, no of course not. I was...just a bit surprised, that's all. It's fine. Just...try to be a bit more discreet, Mia. What if Simon had walked in?"
"Oh I'm sure the good reverend would approve," Gordon smiled, winking at her.
The perceptive Mia noticed his gesture and wondered what he was hinting at.
"Jenna took a deep breath. "Okay, well I'm going to have a coffee. I'll leave you to get dressed. Do you want a drink, Gordon?"
"A tea would be lovely. I'm parched. Thanks!"
"I'll have tea as well, please." Mia added.
Jenna left the bathroom.
"She's acting weird," Mia said. "There's something she's not telling me."
Oh boy, wait until you find out, Gordon thought. Your mind will be blown.
"Maybe she's a bit envious!" Gordon said as he picked up his clothes, and wondered where his underpants had gone.
"Can I keep these, Gordy-pie?" Mia giggled, holding up his white y-fronts.
"Think they're too big for you!"
"I don't want to wear them. I want to keep them under my pillow and sniff them at night."
