When Freya met Aiden

72

"DID? I'm sorry are you a widow like me, Ma?" "No, he....he ran off with a trucker." they both looked startled, Ma saw the look and laughed, "It was a LADY trucker, not a MAN, it was an amicable split, we both realized that we wanted different things in life. We've got two boys and a daughter so we keep in touch, and I actually LIKE his new wife, she's good for him," and she laughed, "Right enough talking and more eating before this gets cold, if you need anything just shout." "OK Ma, thank you," and off she went. "Bloody hell, it must have been an amicable split, I should imagine Ma would have flattened her if she'd wanted to." "Definitely, now shut up, I need my food." "Makes a change, it's usually me moaning that I'm hungry," and he smiled at her as he tucked in. Freya would have said there was enough food for four people, but they cleared the lot. "Good, I feel like a big fat pig, that was a fantastic breakfast." "I know everything was cooked to perfection, even the eggs and I'm fussy about my eggs." "I didn't think you were that fussy about anything, well, I've never heard you complain about anything." "Oh I can be a right pain if something's not right, I mean you pay good money for something, you expect it to be the best and if it's not, I'll wipe the floor with you. One of my pet hates in garages, some of them treat women as if we're stupid, and we're not. I know my way around an engine, car or bike, I've had a couple of disagreements in garages, usually away from home when I haven't got all my tools with me. I was on a job one day, about three hundred miles away from the Embassy and my bike started making funny noises, so I pulled into a garage and asked could I borrow a couple of things, so I could check my bike. Well I thought they were going to pee themselves. It was only the spark plugs, but the way they were talking I'd need the engine stripping down. So I said can I borrow your tools or not, I'll pay for the privilege. One of them gave me his tools and said 'no charge, we'll be having a good laugh and then we'll charge you for fixing your mess,' I took out the spark plugs cleaned them up, put them back in and started her up. I went and washed my hands, said thank you for the loan of your tools and rode off, the three of were standing there looking gob-smacked, it was funny but also bloody annoying, I mean some poor bugger could get cheated."

 Aiden whistled, "Is there anything you CAN'T do? or am I marrying some super woman?!!!" "Don't be daft, we get taught all sorts at the Embassy, you've got to be able to fix things without outside help, but my tool kit wasn't on the bike, otherwise I wouldn't have had to talk to those morons. I'd bet you anything, most if not all of the ladies here, could fix their own bikes, you've got to be able to take care of yourself, I mean when we're out on your bike and anything were to go wrong, you'd be fixing it and I'd be watching." "Charming!!! you'd leave me to it and wouldn't help at all?" "Only if you really needed me to, I'll never undermine you my darling, you're my big strong hero and even I need that sometimes, but I need you all the time in my life, you're my soulmate." "I'll always be here for you, your my soulmate as well," and they kissed and Aiden stopped and licked by the side of Freya's mouth, "You've got egg on your lips, you're a messy eater, my darling." "You could have just told me, you didn't have to lick my face." "Why not? you tasted good, eggy but good," and he licked her again, all over her face, it was like trying to fight off an over exuberant puppy. "Will you stop it!!!! I don't need another wash thank you very much." 

"What are you two up to? I can hear the laughing in the kitchen?" "I had egg on my face and Aiden decided to become a puppy and give me a wash with his tongue." "Sorry Ma, I didn't mean to cause a disturbance." "You don't have to apologize, I love the fact that you are both happy, I only came to see if you needed anything else, do you?" "Only the number of a cab, we need to get back to the hotel, we're supposed to be helping to pack up, and we'll get shouted at if we don't help." "Well you don't have to worry, everybody said to leave you alone, and for you to go back when you're ready, apparently the girls are going to help instead of you, and you don't need a cab two of the lads will run you back. So is there anything else you want?" "No thank you Ma, I honestly don't think I could eat another thing, it was all delicious again." "Thank you, we try our best, just because we're a diner doesn't mean the food has to be crap, all my meat is 'orgasmic' as Anna say's, that child is so sweet and adorable and she loves her uncle Aiden doesn't she? She was upset because she thought you were going to cry, but Charles told her you were fine, but sleepy and I'd sent you to bed, so she was ok then, she said she'd have to give you lots of kisses and cuddles before she goes back home, she's so cute you could eat her up, so when you want to go just let me know and I'll arrange two bikes to take you back." "As much as I'd love to ride back, we're not dressed for it, I mean my pants are ok, but I haven't got a jacket and neither has Freya." "Hang on a minute, I'll be right back."
