Wide Open Spaces

Our Own House

Warning: sexual activities

Lindsey, Stevie and the kids were all going over to one of their properties. They had decided to rent it out and were very excited about their newest endeavor. Stevie was dressed very casually in shorts and a worn Nirvana t-shirt with flip flops. She wore braided ankle bracelets made by Callie and her finger nails were all sorts of wild colors, also courtesy of her daughter. Her hair was piled up in a bun with her bangs clipped back out of her way. Lindsey and the kids dressed very much the same way, needing to be comfortable as they worked. Lindsey carried the buckets of paint inside and each other the kids took bags of supplies- tape, brushes, rollers and paint trays.

"Baby, will you grab a medium brush? I'm going to cut in" Stevie says, sitting on the floor and pouring white paint into a large tray.

"You're so technical" he teased, retrieving a brush from one of the many bags laying all over plastic covered the floor.

"It's kind of my job."

"My little artist" he says, kissing her and lingering a little longer than appropriate. He pulled back and she gave him a warm smile.

"I love you"

"I love you too" he said. The kids were in charge of the roller work and Lindsey would be doing the trim. With all the tasks delegated, they went to work. As the day wore on, Callie and Dylan proved to be of very little help. "Can you guys start painting the walls instead of each other?"

"He started it!" Callie said, pointing to her brother.

"That's not true, dad!"

"I've been watching you both the whole time and you both had the same idea. You're twins but you don't have to work with one brain between the two of you"

"Hey!" They said in unison, furrowing their brows.

Lindsey stifled a chuckle. "How about we take you to nana and papa's and you can swim for the rest of the afternoon. Your mother and I will come back and finish the work."

"Yes!" The kids were excited, practically running back out to the car.

"At least we will get some alone time" Stevie said, giving him an undeniably sexy look.

"Steph, don't tease me."

"Who said I was teasing? Work then play." They locked up the little white house and Stevie hopped in the driver's seat, dropping the children off. Her parents' home was always open to them and they delighted in seeing their grandchildren. Her mother welcomed them in and Lindsey gave them a run down on what's going on and when they'd be back.

"It's really no problem. We love having them here" Barbara said.

"As you can tell, they worked very hard today" he said, rolling his eyes and Stevie's mother chuckled softly.

"Oh, I can imagine."

"Thank you again."

"You're welcome. I hope you make some progress"

"I'm sure we will. We would like to at least finish the living room completely."

"Huge undertaking but I know you can do it. Bye bye" she said with a wave.
