ageless treasure


Ageless treasure 

####

   I had to look twice as I only saw the beautiful woman passing through the crowd holding her hands up in the air carrying two bags in hand in a crazy rush somewhere fast, just a chance encounter with someone that cought my attention, I was just enjoying the view of his lovely woman  from my office window and how much she was an attractive older woman her dark brown skin and medium length curly black hair with a few gray patches in her hair was beautiful she was looking great to me, just my preference and liking "I  was attracted to older  larger women too since my  younger years  in my so this was a great view for me but looks isn't everything in a woman so all I could do was hope for our paths to cross somehow so I can have an option of getting to know her,

    I turned around and went back to working on my project as she was now out of sight that night I got home late hit the shower had dinner and went to bed early I was exhausted I had been working fourteen hours straight so I needed this rest, 

    I heard a knock on the door jumping me out of my sleep saying " good evening good evening " I looked looked through the flaps and as crazy  as situations can unfold I  noticed that the same woman I was admiring earlier today was knocking on my door how could this be, I asked myself I give it no further  thought and  just opened the door as asked may I help you " hi I am looking for mr. royland I am the new maid from the agency with ( the day home cleaning services ) I am the owner mis perth but we are short staffed this week so I do some the inspections myself before I as agree to a contract with any new clients " o ok nice to meet you mis. perth I am royland the man that called for your services yesterday morning please come in she came in and sat down I offered her a drink of water and we started discussing business I explained that I was bachelor living alone and my nature of business made it hard for me to clean my house properly because of being at the bottom of a hill all the dust from the houses and cars from the high hill always comes down to my house with the wind, At this Mis perth gets up and takes a tour of the house  as I continue to explain my situation and sits down again and begins writing in her file then looks up at me and says "with all that you explained earlier mr. Royland and with the size of the house we should be able to clean your home in one day whenever you may need our services so we have a deal sir" as she holds out her hand to shake mine all I can think of is her beauty "that will be all for now I will get started as soon as you are ready sir" at this left without saying a word I went back to my room but could not get back to sleep all I could think of was this woman was just in my house having a conversation with me  the very same woman I was admiring earlier just today, 

    I thought to myself I have to make an excuse just to be around her somehow so I went back outside and started  making a plan for her start date of cleaning my house to be the same day I take a day off from work so I next day I made arrangements for the cleaning to start hoping that mis perth would be the one making the visit and she wouldn't send out one of her employed staff workers to do the job,

  But as her car came in view in my driveway I saw a another girl in the passenger side with the company uniform, I opened and door and waited to see how this would play out,  as the women approached me I smiled  greeted them and let them in for a chat to find out how things will proceed mis Perth explained she will be inspecting the work for today since I am a new client, I agreed and let them do their jobs accordingly and tried to keep out of the way as best I can, I found ways of making myself busy so as not to make it seem too evident that I was observing mis. Perth

         I was Lost looking at her  from a distance when she caught me staring at her when I heard a voice say "can I help you with something mr. royland" She asked as she stopped and looked me straight in the eyes as I snapped out of my trance all I could think to say was  "no I am just admiring how easy you are making all of this seem" I answered trying not to make it evident that I was looking her over she was a good looking woman that took her work seriously from what I can tell, she had an english accent but she seemed very nice and respectful when she spoke, "I have been doing this work for twenty years now just after my last child was born so it comes like second nature to me but thank you sir for acknowledging to work I am happy when the client is satisfied with the services my business provides "you're welcome" was all I said because I was in disbelief that this woman was a mother with grown up children and still looks great and carried herself well for a plus size woman, in just an hour or so they had finished with cleaning the whole house I was getting nervous about her leaving because I was enjoying her talking with me even if it was just business talk but I respected her time made the payment and let her go not wanting to interfere with her other work related duties,  every  single week several different young girls came and cleaned the house from week to week all doing a great job , so I had no complaints about the services at all except for the fact I was not able to see mis letth herself

    It was the last day the month witch was always my day off I heard banging next door now to my knowledge that house was Still up for sale all because of the location down the hill and because of this the house was very low priced for its size and location [ everyone just preferred the view from the top looking across the valley ] so I went out to check only to see mis. Perth  directing the moving men as they helped her out her things inside the yard and the house about and hour after the men left



    I went over with my handyman toolbox looking for any available opportunity to be around her I was just smitten with this woman it was evident and I had to admit to myself that very fact, So I walked up to the house and knocked and heard her speaking in a distance "o who can this now I don't have time for answering the door I am just too busy" I quickly waited until she got to the door and was greeted with a surprised,  "hello mr. Royland is their something I can do for you I am very very busy at the moment" well I came to offer my help mis. Perth  as I know moving in can be a stressful situation I brought my handyman toolbox with me just in case but if you are ok I will be on my way and leave you to get back to your work mis. Perth,
      " no don't go you are a life saver Mr. royland please please come inside you stopped by at the right time I am so confused navigating this new house David someone has come to lend a hand" didn't know you had your husband mis. Perth 

 at that moment my heart sank is she married or is this man a relative of hers " David meet mr.royland my next door neighbour Mr. Royland this is David my brother he helped me move in" good to meet you David as I shake the man's hand I was thankful he was not her husband

  I stepped in taking a look around and just then she pulled my up the stairs and to the bathroom " the shower door was is not  closing at all and I need to take a shower and go for my  grandson to pick him up from the chess club please help me if you can royland and thank you in advance my new friend" as she smiled and hurried back to what she doing  "no problem mis. Brown let me take a look at it my house is the same way"

   (as both houses previously belonged to the same family but when they decided to move they sold the  houses at the same time I knew  the family as worked for them for years so me and a few others were given the first opportunity to buy the house so I used all my savings and I bought the house) 

as I gladly got to work on the door
