The two of them had
been together for a long time but after 5 years of marriage Josh and Sophie
Ferris had recently split and the only people who were at all surprised by it
was them.
There were never two
more incompatible souls to share a life than they.
In fact they had spent
much of the previous two years constantly bickering and arguing about anything
and everything.
The problem was that
Josh was too laid back and easy going for Sophie who was the complete opposite
she was very pushy and way too ambitious.
But not just ambitious
for herself, she wanted to push Josh to bigger and better things as well, but
Josh didn’t want to climb the greasy pole he was happy doing what he was doing
he didn’t want to be a chief he liked being an Indian.
But for Sophie that
was not acceptable and because Sophie didn’t want to settle for less than the
best she wasn’t prepared to settle for someone who did.
Kay Regan was
delighted when she heard the news and not just because she didn’t like Sophie
although that was part of the reason but mainly she was happy because she had
been in love with Josh since high school, she was in the year below him, but
despite all her best efforts she could never seem to catch his eye not in that
way at any rate.
So he ended up with
Sophie and Kay married Colin who turned out to be the most boring man in
Britain, so she divorced him after twelve months.
Kay had been pretty
much on her own ever since the divorce, not that she hadn’t tried to find
someone to replace Colin.
She had tried quite
diligently but the problem was they never had Josh’s smile, his sense of humour
or indeed his cute arse.
So in the end she
resolved that if she couldn’t have Joshua Ferris she would end her days a
spinster.
That was until one day
when fate took a hand.
Josh and Sophie’s
divorce was final and part of the divorce agreement was that they should sell
the house in Dulcet-On-Brooke that was once their marital home.
Of the two of them it
was Joshua who was tasked with selling it as Sophie had already moved into a
bigger and better house.
So it was on a sunny
spring morning when Joshua walked into an Estate Agents in Purplemere where the
senior partner was Kay.
She was five foot
eight with short bobbed brown hair, and mesmerizing green eyes and a very tidy
figure suitably proportioned and all underpinned by stunning legs.
And those stunning
legs wobbled when she saw tall dark and beddable Joshua Ferris walk through the
door.
“Good morning” she
said having regained her composure
“Hi” he said and gave
her a considered perusal before adding
“Kay Finch”
“I used to be” she
admitted
“We were at school
together” he said “you were in the year below with a flock of boys at your
heels”
“That was a long time
ago” she said and blushed
“So what are you now?”
he asked
“I’m sorry?”
“You said you used to
be Kay Finch, so what are you now?”
“Oh I see, its Regan”
she replied
“So you’re married to
Colin” he said
“And divorced from”
she added quickly
“Ditto” Josh said
“What! You were
married to Colin as well?” she asked and laughed
“God no I always found
him a bit boring” he retorted
“Ditto” she remarked
and they both laughed
“It would be nice to
catch up sometime” she suggested
“Yes it would” he
agreed “how about lunch?”
“I’d love that” she
replied
“Great, I’ll see you
then” he said and turned towards the door
“Was there anything
else?” she asked
“Well actually I’m
very happy with lunch, for now” he thought to himself and then the penny
dropped
“Oh God yes I want to
sell my house”
