Vic felt across the bed and found an empty space, his brain tried to compute the situation, it was dark, it was quiet and it was lonely.
He heard the doorbell ring and seconds later ring again, he struggled to his feet and pulled on his dressing gown and slippers. lurching for the front door as the bell rang again and again.
"I'm coming," he shouted, "Hold your bloody horses I'm coming!"
Tripping down the stairs, he reached the door and opened it. Kerri, his wife's mother stood there with an overnight bag in her hand. She pushed past and walked into the lounge.
"God it's cold out there," she said, shivering, "I thought you'd never answer."
"Kerri, what.. what.. why are you here now, I thought I was coming over to pick you up later this afternoon?"
"Yes I know, but I got so excited I couldn't wait so I packed and got a taxi over." She looked round the room expectantly, then glanced at the door.
"Where's Glynnis, I thought she'd be here, what's up?" she looked at Vic fretfully.
"Kerri she's gone shopping, I'm supposed to tidy up and hoover and make up the bed for you, but I fell asleep, sorry. The plan was to be organised to come over about three'ish and bring you back here. Glynn'll be furious with me for cocking up!" he glanced ruefully at Kerri. "Sorry Kerri, but what time is it?"
She glanced at her watch, "About eleven thirty, when did Glynnis go out?"
"Shit! about eight thirty, which means she'll be back and I'll be buggered, quite literally." He massaged his rear and looked at Kerri.
"Sorry, do you want a tea or coffee, put your bag down have a seat, I'll make you a drink and hop in the shower." He gestured at a large comfy chair and went to take her bag from her.
"Tea please, no sugar but a little milk."
She smiled and kissed his cheek as he bent down to pick up the bag. he smiled and mouthed 'OK', but was taken aback as her hand sneaked into his gown and found his cock.
"Can I have a piece of this too please," she said and winked at him.
Vic stepped back and felt her soft warm hand slide off his dick, "Sure you can Kerri, as soon as Glynn gets back you can have it all, but, I won't do anything behind her back, unless it's to stick my cock in her doggie style." He smiled and turned, pleased with his feeble joke.
"Sit down and I'll make the tea," he left and popped the bag in the spare room, blew a breath out, "Phew!" and turned to the kitchen,
He rattled round and made tea and a coffee for himself. Returning to the lounge he set Kerri's tea down on the coaster on the coffee table,
"I'm going to shower, be about twenty minutes, remote's there on the coffee table and there's some girls mags of Glynn's on the shelf underneath, make yourself at home."
She smiled and picked up her tea, sipped and sat back with a smile on her face, "That's lovely, thank you Vic." she said and winked.
Vic smiled and left to shower. As usual and without thinking he went to the bathroom and walked into the shower, switched on and when warm enough stepped into the shower. He used gel and shampoo to clean up his hair and body, not noticing the shadow walk in through the open door.
