Retutning Home

I'm Greg 28 just last year in October, I returned home to the town of my birth. I was taken away by my father after he and my mother divorced when I was 14. My father got a job in Greece and still lives there now with his new wife and family. I hadn't seen my mother since the divorce and she also remarried and has a new family. I visited her on my return and then decided to see how my old town had changed over years. Not much as it turned out, except a lot of shops were now closed up. I stayed at the local motel and looked at our old house, I remembered all the good times I had there, it was now vacant and in a bad way and for sale. I enquired and found it was a council repo and I made an offer and they excepted. I had the yard cleared and the house inspected, there were some major issues. Most I could do myself, the most urgent was the roof and not wanting to wait I got a roofing company to replace it with a metal roof straight away. The I removed all the windows, doors and wall coverings. Once back the stud walls, I replaced any damaged floor boards were same and was lucky not much was need. Renewed the plumbing and had the wiring replaced, replaced the window after they had all been fixed and rehung the doors after they had also fixed and some new doors as some weren't able to be repaired. I hire a woman to redecorate the my home. I was till replacing the drywall at the time of her first inspection. It turned out she was my old neighbor I use to tease, from the time she was 6 to the time I left and she was 11. Cathy 25 had turned into a good looking woman and she remembered me making her life hell at times. I said I hope this won't affect your work and she answered No, I'll add on a 90% surcharge for the pain and suffering with a big grin on her face. As I finished room Cathy would get in and paint and decorate them. The house turned out fantastic, I was very pleased with how it was now it was finished. I work using computers and do most from home, I asked Cathy out a couple of times and she said No, I don't go out with clients. After I had finished the house and paid Cathy I said I'm no longer your client, so how about going out with me. She said No, but smiled and then said alright I'll go with you. We had a great time and started to go more and after the third date we slept together. Last week I was out walking and saw a sign on Cathy's old house for sale. It had been badly damaged in a fire before I return for overseas. The land was all that was worth the price, the burnt out shell of the house would have to be removed. My house wasn't on a very large block I had no room for a double garage I wanted to build. I went on another date with Cathy that evening and we got to talking about her old home. She told me I should buy the block and build my garage and would then be able to redesign my garden to suit a bigger block. I told her I couldn't hire her again. She asked me Why, I replied You don't date your clients and I want to kept dating you with a big grin on my face. She punched my arm saying stop teasing, you won't be a client as I won't be charging you as your now my boyfriend. Your Hired I like bargains I replied, again she punched my arm and saying Keep it up and no sex tonight. I said Yes Boss, your will is my command. Then she kicked my leg under the table. But the next morning while still bed together, I got out the engagement ring I had in the side table asked her to marry me. She was surprised and at first just punched me again and then said Yes. We're no hurry and are going to get married June 11th this year. As it the 15th anniversary of me leaving. She has already moved in last weekend and the purchase of the block next door is happening. I have drawn up the plans for the garage and once the sale is final we hope to build it and Cathy had me had an office on to it for both to use. I know it is going fast, but I still it is too long myself to the 11th.
