Amanda
Itโs Monday.
Our home looks like the set for Extreme Home Makeover, except thereโs no bus to move and all of the workmen act like Iโm invisible as I wander downstairs after waking up naked in an empty bed.
I throw on clothes and am down the stairs when I spot my husband.
โWhat is going on?โ I ask Andrew, who is huddled over blueprints with some guy who looks like he runs a union hall in South Boston. Tight eyes, distrustful look, goatee, and an intensity that makes it clear you want him on your side.
Andrew breaks away, kisses my cheek, and gives me a saucy half grin. โJust like you wanted. Here we go.โ
โHere we go what? We barely talked about what we wanted!โ
โWe did,โ he says, suddenly defensive. โIn bed,โ he whispers.
โWhat I want in bed has nothing to do with tile colors and three-season sunrooms!โ I say.
Loudly.
โThe guys arenโt working on anything like that,โ he hisses as a few workmen suppress smiles. โWeโre putting in new backup systems.โ
โBackups for what?โ
โPower outages. Acts of God. Hurricanes. Bomb cyclones that leave six feet of snow.โ
I snort. โWhat, no alien contingency plan? Got a blueprint for a universal extraterrestrial language translator in there?โ
Andrew reddens and avoids eye contact.
I frown. โAndrew?โ I grab his arm and pull him aside, his muscles tense. โWhat are you doing? This isnโt how I envisioned remodeling and spending our honeymoon. For one, we didnโt have sex that second time this morning.โ
He looks at the clock. โItโs only 7:53. Plenty of time for that.โ He grabs me at the waist and pulls me close, trying to divert me with a kiss.
It works.
โWeโve got the geothermal heat unit figured out, and when we redo the gutter system and the roof, in addition to the solar panels, weโve got an evaporation system set up for clean water collection. Storage is next,โ he says to me.
โAll that in the first hour of work?โ Iโm stunned.
โIโm efficient. Two weeks of my focused attention is like five years of a normal human
beingโs time.โ
โEfficient and humble. I love that in a man.โ
โYouโd better, because youโre stuck with me forever.โ
โIs that a threat or a promise?โ
I get a pat on the ass in response.
Author Bio:
New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Julia Kent writes romantic comedy with an edge. From billionaires to BBWs to new adult rock stars, Julia finds a sensual, goofy joy in every contemporary romance she writes. Unlike Shannon from Shopping for a Billionaire, she did not meet her husband after dropping her phone in a men’s room toilet (and he isn’t a billionaire). She lives in New England with her husband and three sons in a household where the toilet seat is never, ever, down.
GIVEAWAY!
This is rather an interesting idea, Jacquie. Quite possible too, I think as I know a few time-pressed CEO’s
