~~~ Week 24 - Tuesday ~~~
Up, showered, swing by the nursery, and back on-site by seven in the morning. I was really only awake because the girls had already been a little frisky in the shower. They had thoroughly enjoyed the "show" the night before and then - when I got home and was still horny enough to fuck both of them... They were both very agreeable to me hooking up with Lily Ward's mom whenever she came around again.
As I worked on my tasks, I thought back over the previous evening's session. I had not anticipated enjoying the whole "gloryhole" idea that much. I still shuddered when I thought of most of the videos that I had seen online. However, the little roleplay session with Jennifer Ward had been highly enjoyable.
Before I knew it, it was time for lunch. We loaded into the truck, ran to the diner, and stopped in the bathroom to relieve ourselves and wash our hands before we ate.
As usual, the drinks were waiting for us and the waitress waved and hollered that our food was just a few minutes away. I took a big drink of my sugary soda. I drank water the rest of the day but - at lunch - I sucked down the syrupy beverage like a hummingbird. The caffeine didn't hurt either.
Emily called Maggie and we checked in on how Brian, they, and Lena were doing. She reported that Brian was fine, they were bored, and Lena was hanging in there. We told them that we loved them and then hung up to dig into our meals.
On the way back to the job-site, Emily anticipated (since I hadn't already asked) my usual question.
"We're on-schedule, I think," she said. "At most, we'll need an extra half-hour. No need to bust your balls to hurry."
"Save those balls for me," April giggled.
"I've decided - after that last attempt - that I'm not hurrying anymore," I told her.
"Yeah, that was definitely a failed experiment," she agreed.
"Before you ask," April jumped in, "you *do* have a session tonight. I was wanting to just lay around and fuck but Emily says you've got another hot mom to tend to."
"Well," Emily said, "we don't know how hot she is..."
"Oh... right...," April said.
"Who is it?" I asked.
"Natalia Popova's mom - Yulia," Emily answered, "marital status unknown."
"Natalia was...," I began.
"Different," Emily finished, nodding.
"Different how?" April asked.
"Had an accent, acted like she didn't care what people thought, but wore too much makeup and these huge eyelashes," Emily replied.
I just nodded - and then added, "Cocktease. I never heard one guy say that he'd been out with her."
I spent the afternoon trying to imagine what Natalia Popova's mom was going to look like - and how she would act. I could only assume that her accent would be even stronger than her daughter's.
Emily started calling the client and Mr. Reynolds just after five o'clock. While we waited on them, we hurriedly finished the last little bit that we had left to do - and then April rushed around to snap her photos of what everything looked like at the end. I started carrying things to the truck. Emily went to meet our inspectors.
"You finished on time - even though you're down a crewmember," Mr. Mason said. "Everything looks fabulous - not that I had any concerns. I looked at several of your projects before I called Maggie."
"We appreciate your business," I told the man, shaking his hand.
The girls shook his hand as well and accepted his appreciation - and offered their own. We moved back to the truck to let Mr. Reynolds finish his chat with the man. Soon he was headed our way.
"How are the girls doing?" he asked. "I didn't want to bug them. Lena seems to be holding down the fort."
"They're bored," Emily reported. "Brian's spleen is a concern and they'll likely be there for the week."
Reynolds nodded and said, "I'd gotten that much. Well done here. Any concerns for the week's schedule?"
"The Quality Inn job was probably going to push into Saturday anyway," Emily told him. "It may end up being the whole day - rather than just the morning."
He nodded and said, "That's what I had guessed. I'm available on Saturday if you need me to step in."
"That's nice of you Mr. Reynolds," April said.
He gave her a bright smile and said, "I won't say that I don't miss the work but it's been nice leaving everything to Sam and Emily - and now the rest of you. I continue to get nothing but praise from the clients and - as the primary owner of these businesses - that's exactly what I want to hear. What are your thoughts on doing a little before and after picture book like you did for Mrs. Cunningham - for each client?"
"I could...," she said. "I'd need a couple hours in the evening."
"How about this?" he said. "5% raises for everybody then and you, my little bright star, can bill for the extra hours."
"Can Emily bill for her design-work?" she asked.
He turned to look at Emily.
"You're doing that after hours?" he asked.
She nodded.
"That's my oversight," he told her. "I should have known - with you being on-site with everybody else - that those activities were taking your free time. You coordinate those design activities with Maggie?"
Emily nodded again.
"If that's true, then I owe you several hours...," he said.
"You've been fair to me - and the new girls," Emily told him. "If you feel like it, we really enjoyed our spa-day the other day. Maybe we could have another - maybe the next time we have a free Saturday afternoon?"
"I haven't seen the bills from the last one yet but I think that's a generous counter-offer and I'm going to go ahead and authorize that. Can you let Maggie know?"
"She's included as well, right?" Emily asked.
"Well, I'm certainly not going to piss in her Wheaties if I can avoid it...," he said, grinning broadly. "We're at the point where this all falls apart without her."
"I'm glad you agree," Emily said, grinning even more broadly than Mr. Reynolds had been.
Ron turned to me.
"What do you do with your evenings while they're all working?" he asked.
"I... uh...," I stammered.
"Ah, yes, still working on that bucket-list of yours... How's that going?"
"I'm about halfway through," I replied.
"How many weeks have you been at this?"
"24."
"No death threats yet?" he asked with a smirk.
"Ah... well..."
He held up his hands.
"More than I need to know...," he said. "Please keep yourself hale and whole - and earning me money, Mr. Fowler."
