I posted in a blog that I was writing this, and I am afraid it will be an exercise in complete self-indulgence. I just fancied letting a collection of my favourite people relax together. Don't expect any dazzling revelations here; then again, as I am still writing it, who knows? For new readers, this story won't make much sense unless you have previously read my novel 'Mates', available on this site and on Kindle.

The afternoon wore on, tediously at times, as I tried not to move my painful ribs. Even going to the loo was a pain, the sitting and standing and bending to wipe the nether region; not a bit funny. I dozed now and again, but would wake myself up either by moving or coughing which produced sharp pain in my chest.

She closed the cooker door and then turned to look at me before poking her tongue out and then giving me the finger.

"Very funny, smart-ass," she said," just wait till it's your turn to cook"

"It was a bit stuffy in there, so I thought I'd wait outside for you," he explained, "do you fancy some lunch?"

I felt my heart miss a beat at his question. Momentarily I was at a loss for words.

"Don't worry if you've got other plans," he said hurriedly, misinterpreting my delay in responding as a rejection.

I touched his arm, looked him directly in the eye and smiled, "I'd love to, Dewi."

I sat in the chair trying not to move too much, the bruising I'd received from falling off the bed was now becoming painful, and even breathing was hurting.
