the events that  had taken place during today.
    “So...how did it go with the infamous Mr Ace then?” she asked, shifting her body to make herself more comfortable.
    “Well...” I paused to think about the man who caused such an effect on me, and the sexual thoughts that had rushed into my mind.
    “Well..come on spill the beans...what’s he like? ...is he hot?” Lisha’s impatience was starting to show.
    “Mr Ace is a very alluring man, the meeting went ok” My hand reaching for my glass and taking a sip of the cold liquid.
    “Alluring?” Lisha looked at me and laughed.
    “Ok..he was sexy, sculpted, and a look that could melt you to the floor”
    “That's more like it Maddie...tell me something?”
    “Tell you what Lisha...nothing happened, if you're thinking like that”
    I knew where this line of questioning going and the thoughts I received earlier in the day were flooding back.
    I tactfully changed the subject.
    “So Lisha, you know I’m doing some work in the Woodlands”
    “Yeah I know” she replied placing her nearly empty drink on the oak coffee table that had pictures of various places I visited.
    “I was wondering if you would like to move from your flat into here?” I could see the surprise on Lisha’s face
    “In here with you...?”
    “No, I mean in here with your Dad, I’m building a bigger house on the site next to the Vets”,
    I could see tears start to form in her eyes, the emotion overcoming her.
    “I didn’t mean to upset you, I want you to have this place with your Dad, a better way of life, I want you to become my business partner when the new Vets opens. I’ve known you since we were kids...your my best friend”
    “Ok...I’ll spill the beans to my dad, he’ll say yes...I know he will...now can we order food before I chew this cushion”
    “Sure, but please don’t chew those cushions...” I jokingly replied.
     
    Dominos pizza has this thing,  you order your pizza and if it’s not here in thirty minutes it’s free. It was well into thirty five minutes when the doorbell rang, a scrawny looking young man who had scarcely made it through puberty had a side pointing baseball cap, bawled out that he had a flat tire and that he had to run up the hill where my house stood.
     
    “Double pepperoni with extra cheese...$14“ he bawled
    “Your late...and I’m knocking off five bucks for making me wait” I told him with intent stare.
    “Look lady I had to deal with a flat tire and my boss will kick my ass if I come back short”
    “Is that the pizza, tell him he’s late” Lisha shouted across the room.
     
    “Five bucks off or I’ll go to Marios Pizza, he’s never late “, making the delivery guy look down at his beat up sneakers.
     
    “Ok lady five bucks off and free cookies?” he asked me hoping that his car hadn’t been stripped of parts.
    “Here’s eight bucks, no tip.. Ok here’s a tip, make sure the next time your ‘beat up a shit heap’ of a car is actually going around on four actual tires.. Ok? And that my pizza isn't half cold”, slamming the door in his face.
     
    Hearing him cursing as he headed across my drive, kid should know better than to get on my wrong side of me. I  always loathed pizza delivery guys.
    “Ooh yummy partially cold pizza” Lisha said
    “We could always nuke it?” she added
    “Nuked pizza it is then”, walking over to the microwave.
    As the microwave pinged, Lisha opened another bottle of wine and poured me a glass.
    “You know while you were arguing with Mr Pizza guy that I was ‘googling’ Mr Daniel Ace” Lisha said in-between eating a cookie.
    “‘Googling’”
    “Yeah googling...you know that famous search engine on the internet and what should come up on Forbes but Mr Ace is revealed to be the second richest man in the world, seventeen different companies stretching from L.A to London”.
