The rest of the morning passed by in a blur. Athena had stopped by to see Zoe and the two of them remained holed up in Jon’s old room with Simon. Karyn had disappeared into the rec-room once again enthralled by the switch which she had now essentially claimed as her own. Jon and Laura had spent a peaceful morning out on the deck enjoying the nice weather. Laura had quickly decided that garden needed seeing to and had fished the lawnmower out of the garage. She was currently making her way up and down the lawn, shirt off, her new muscular form glistening with sweat.
Jon had found himself perusing Laura’s collection of books earlier and selected one to take outside. He was currently envisioning the two of them as the main characters, who were getting rather hot and heavy on the deck of a pirate ship. He could feel his groin getting damp at the thought of acting out the scenario with her.
“Right,” Laura said loudly, interrupting his little daydream, “we best think about getting ready to leave” she added as she walked over and took a seat next to him. Jon glanced at the watch on his wrist.
“Oh yeah, where has the time gone?” He mused, it was almost lunchtime, meaning he’d been reading for nearly two hours.
“You go get your things together babe” Laura said, “I’ll call Micky and tell him to start coming home, then I’ll throw some lunch together for us”
“You sure Laun?” Jon asked.
“Course I’m sure,” Laura replied, “I’d imagine you want to take a little time to pick out something that shows off that incredible body you’ve got now” she added with a wink. Jon playfully slapped her on the arm.
“Behave!” He chuckled, but silently agreeing with her. He folded over the corner of the page he was on, then got to his feet.
“I’ll let the other know what happening” he said before heading into the house. Leaving his book on the kitchen counter, he made his way down to the basement room. Karyn was sat on the floor staring up at the screen intently as she was in the middle of a tough battle.
“Time to wrap it up Kartyn sweetie” He said, grabbing her attention, “Dads about to start making lunch ok?”
“Kay Mom…Jon” Karyn replied, “I just wanna finish this battle” she added turning her eyes back to the screen.
“Ok, but straight off when you do!” Jon said sternly before heading upstairs. Once he was outside the door to his old room he knocked and waited.
“Come in!” He heard Zoe call. He opened the door and peered inside. Zoe and Athena were sat on the bed, and Simon was sitting in the desk chair.
“Dads about to start making lunch, then we’ll be heading to the MacKnillans” He said to the three of them, “might be an idea to start getting your things ready now” he added.
“Will do Jom” Zoe replied, “can Athena come with us?” She asked hopefully.
“I don’t see why not sweetie” Jon replied, causing Zoe to smile.
“Thanks Mrs Gibison” Athena said, “only if it’s not too much trouble”’she added.
“Of course not, and call me Jorna” Jon replied, “Well, I leave you three to it, Sym let me know if there’s anything you need that’s not in your cases” he added looking at his former father.
“Will do Jorna” Simon replied. Jon nodded with a smile and left the room.
“Right then” he said to himself as he turned towards the master bedroom “time to find a bikini” he smirked.
