Possessive: At Her Masters Side (Kingswood Saga Book 5) Completed

12. Tara

"Morning Mother"
I grin as I hear Henry's voice down the line, "Henry, how are you?" I ask, settling myself on the sofa in the solarium.

"I'm good" He replies cheerfully and I smile to myself, always my easy going child, Henry was predominantly happy and often smoothed the ruffled feathers that Alex left in his wake.

"And Alex?" I prompt.
"Ah, well yes, Alex is getting there" He replies and I wonder what my boys are up to this time.
"Henry, he's not going to get himself into trouble is he?" I ask worried and Henry laughs.
"Goodness no Mother, Alex is far to controlled to do that"

"Hmm, well then what can I do for you?" I ask him and there is a brief pause as he considers his words.
"Henry?" I prompt wondering if I had lost the call.
"Yes, Mother, well this is a little bit sensitive and I'm not sure if this is the right way forward" he hedges and I smile to myself waiting for him to continue. "Well, you know we are revamping the Oxford Club and, well we have found a wonderful designer, but, umm, well" he trails off.

"Henry, just tell me what you need" I tell him and he sighs.
"I believe Geneva is avoiding giving us the designs, I know there is a set ready but she keeps putting us off.  I wondered if you could take a look for us, maybe if its not Alex or I she may relax a little"

I listen to his words and hear the underlying message, they are interested in this girl and have scared her off.
"I am sure you can find another designer" I tell him and he grunts.
"No, we want Geneva, no-one else will do"

"She's avoiding both of you?" I query softly, wanting to hear him confirm the unspoken interest.
"Yes, Mother, both of us" he replies and I grin to myself.
"I would be happy to go but you know at least one of your fathers is going to want to come with me" I warn him and he groans.

"Mother really"
"Yes, Henry really" I laugh and wait as he begrudging agrees.
"Good, if you set up a meeting I will be very interested to meet the young lady" I tell him honestly, wondering what sort of girl had caught the eyes of my two boys.

I sit and think about the call for a while before Matt finds me and pulls me up into a kiss.
"Whats got you looking so pleased?" he asks, sitting down with me in his lap.
I lean into his warm embrace and fiddle with his buttons before replying. "Henry phoned me, he wants me to go and meet the designer for the club remodel and take a look at the designs"

"Why you, the project was for the boys to handle, specifically Alexander" Matt queries with a frown and I grin again.
"I believe our boys may have handled it too well and have scared away their designer, Henry says she is avoiding them both" I tell him and Matt looks confused.

"So why don't they just find another designer?" He questions.
"I asked that and Henry said they want Geneva and no-one else will do" I grin and he shakes his head at me.
"What are you imagining baby, are you saying both boys want this girl?" he asks and I nod, peeking up at him.
"Matt will you come with me?"
"Yes baby, I will come, just let me know when, Do you want Phil as well?" he adds kissing my neck and I arch into his touch.

"No, both of you together is just too overwhelming, let's see how the meeting goes first" I gasp out as he lifts me and carries me into the house...

Two days later Nigel contacts Matt to arrange the appointment and we are soon on our way to Oxford, to meet with the designer, Ms Geneva Loxley.

I look around me in delight as I enter the old building that had been made into a welcoming office space, the colours and textures, enhancing the beauty of the exposed cotswold stone walls and carved woodwork.

The walls had delicate abstract art that both engaged and soothed the mind and as I squeezed Matts hand, I thought about hiring the girl to redo our London flat.
