you hear about these criminals having all sorts of ways of getting in now. You just never know I guess’ I look at Robert as I finish this sentence and he looks tense.
‘you ok?’
‘No not really. What if you were here on your own Bella?’
‘Well I wasn’t. There is no point in thinking like that.’
‘Ahhh... my Bella. You are so strong’
‘I am just trying to keep calm about the whole thing. At least they haven’t taken anything.’
The police spent half an hour taking our statements, they said that if there was are no witnesses or things taken there was not much they could do. But we should change the locks and be vigilant. All in all... dead helpful. Robert has his ‘staff’ here within minutes after the police have left. Its like he belongs in the A team or something. They have replaced the doors and window locks.
‘Well Robert... I thought it was like fort knox before but wow.... You really have gone all out’ I can’t stifle my laughter anymore. But Robert is not amused.
‘This is no laughing matter Bella. You must both be safe at all times.’
‘It was just some chancer. Fancied their chances on breaking in and stealing stuff before they were disturbed.’
Robert nods and walks into the kitchen taking the cups. I can hear Ash talking to him, so I edge to the door.
‘Robert... you don’t think it was a chancer do you?’
‘What do you mean Ash?’
‘I can see it on your face. You’re really concerned.’
‘I don’t know Ash, Bella is probably right. But please I beg you. You must both be careful. There are some weirdo’s out there and you are two women living in this house. For me.... please.’
‘Oh don’t you worry Robert.... Bella and I are like two ninjas.’ Ash starts laughing, but Robert is silent.
‘Robert... stop worrying we will be fine. Hell you just made this place like maximum security. So thank you. I appreciate it and I know Bella does.’
‘Okay. Well here is my number. If you ever need help, please don’t hesitate.’
‘Thanks Robert. I will.’
‘In the habit of passing your number to all my friends Robert.’ I tease him, but wow he looks stressed and does not take the joke very well.
‘No... no of course I don’t.’ Deadpan serious is what I call this answer.
‘I’m joking Robert.’
‘Okay... sorry. Darling I have to leave you. I have a meeting tomorrow, but I will cancel it now.’
‘You will do no such thing Robert. Go! I will be furious if you don’t’
‘No Bella.’
‘Robert, so help me god, just go. I really will be fine. You can’t be with me 24/7’
‘I will be if I can help it.’ I shut him up with a kiss but have to literally push him out of the door.
‘Thanks for helping tidy the place up and for making the house secure. I will speak to you tomorrow. Oh and thanks for the weekend, it was ..... well it was amazing. Oh and thank you for the urmmm... the 2 million quid.’ He laughs at this, and Ash... well Ash chokes in the kitchen as she has clearly heard that statement. As I shut the door Ash runs through to the hall...
‘Two million quid! My god you must be fucking amazing in bed’. We both kill ourselves laughing, tears streaming down my cheeks.
‘Clearly I am.... Pretty woman... move over.’ I strut off and Ash is holding onto the banister to support herself.
‘Oh I’m gonna wee myself. 2 minutes.’ She runs off. What is she like. We carry on tidying up and then open some wine. I fill Ash in on my dirty weekend and she sits there as giddy as I am. I reassure her that the money only means I can leave work. It doesn’t change our arrangement, to which she says she is relieved. I did explain that I may be away for a while.
‘Right missus, I am going to go for a shower and then bed.’ I give Ash a kiss on the cheek and head for the bathroom. I realise now how tired I am, and am literally a few minutes in the shower. As I climb into bed I look at my mobile and there is an
