Brian Myers was a
thrice married and thrice divorced retired gentleman of leisure, 55 years of
age and everything still in full working order, and he divided his time equally
between the Lily
Green Hollows Golf Club and the
Sharpington Head Yacht Club.
Whichever venue it was
he could normally be found in the bar or the restaurant and he was seldom
alone, because he was a social animal.
Maureen Godfrey was in
her late 40s and was a hardworking waitress at the Golf Club and was well aware
of Brian’s foibles as she had been on the receiving end of his wit and charm on
more than one occasion.
“Good afternoon
ladies” she said addressing the two 50 somethings, Helen Cork and Katrina Last,
sitting either side of him.
“And gentleman” she
added in a tone that made it perfectly clear that she didn’t thing he was one.
“It’s nice to see you
keeping such respectable company for a change” she continued then to the ladies
again she added
“I hope he’s not
leading you astray, he has such a lot of bad habits”
Helen blushed and
Katrina gave him a knowing smile.
Maureen then gave him
a look that said just stick with the old birds and behave yourself until I get
off duty.
What she didn’t know
of course was just how badly the two respectable old birds would have liked to
behave with him had he given them and encouragement.
Katrina was at that
very moment playing footsie with him underneath the table and Helen was
fidgeting uncomfortably in her seat as she wondered what she had to do to catch
her man.
What neither of them
were aware of however was that Brian had eyes only for Maureen so after a very
nice lunch in very pleasant company he decided to head for home to Highfinch
and had a long afternoon nap to recharge the batteries before he got ready to
spend the evening with the lovely Maureen when he intended to ask her to be the
fourth Mrs. Myers.
