Martha's Garden

Derek came with another flood of sperm.

After that, they slept, to awake in the morning again aroused and ready for sex. They hardly got out of bed at all, until in the mid afternoon Derek, now feeling somewhat drained said, "My parents will be home soon. I must go."

Martha, still full of vigour and feeling better than she could ever remember feeling before, was a little disappointed. She longed to ask if and when they could be together again, but the old insecurity of her age returned to block her question.

Again, it was Derek who bravely made the move. "Shall we do this again some time?" he asked.

Martha, who had a little plan taking shape in her head said, "How would you like to do this often?" "As often as you're willing to let me. But what about my parents, we don't want them to know, they wouldn't understand?" Derek responded.

"I think I know what to do," said Martha, "So if you're willing to leave it to me, I'll try and arrange things." As Derek opened his mouth to ask what she was planning, she cut in, "And don't ask me what. Just trust me." "Okay," Derek responded, and kissing her, he departed.

Martha waited a couple of days before executing her plan, and then, putting on one of her "frail old lady" looks and dresses, she knocked on the door of Derek's parent's house. The door being opened by Derek's mother, Martha was invited inside.

Seated in the kitchen Martha came straight to the point. "I've come to ask a favour," she announced. "I'm finding some of the jobs in the garden are getting a bit too much for me. I've been wondering if your son would like to earn a bit of money and give me a hand occasionally? There's often the odd job around the house as well."

Muriel, Derek's mother, thought that Derek wouldn't mind helping out, as long as it didn't interfere with his university studies. "I expect he would like to earn a bit of money to help out his university grant," she said. "I'll ask him as soon as he gets home. I'm sure he would find it a pleasure to be of help," she went on.

Martha hid her smile.

That evening Derek knocked at Martha's door. As soon as it was opened, he said laughing, "I shall be very happy to help you."

Martha hauled him inside and dragged him to the bedroom saying, "Well there's one furrow you can plough right now." Derek ploughed very heartily and ended by planting some seeds.

You might like to know that the hole in the fence is now repaired, as Derek does not seem to be interested in it anymore.

The sun lounger is still in use on warm afternoons, but it also came to need some repairs and strengthening.

Derek's parents are surprised at the numerous "little jobs" that need attending to around Martha's garden and house, but as his father said, "He does seem to enjoy helping Martha, and he is certainly much more content than he used to be."
