He Had Been Warned

Debbi didn't even look up from her desk when Kieron appeared with the Monday morning mail. "Just dump it in the tray" she said. It was as she had warned him as they sat at her kitchen table drinking the coffee that had gone cold. "None of this happened right ? Back at work, things'll be just as they ever were. But make sure you use that stuff from the morning properly to get into college. Both you and Trudy. She's your girlfriend right ?" Kieron had stammered that no, she wasn't really. "Well ask her out properly then" Debbi had instructed him. "I'm sure she'll say yes. You can't spend all your time mooning about over me !"

Kieron knew she was right. By this time he had the shirt he had loaned Debbi back on and she was in jeans and a clean t-shirt. But he would long remember the feel of her warm skin as he nervously massaged her back and shoulders. "You'll have to get on the bed and straddle me" Debbi had explained. "You can go lower" she had teasingly suggested.

He also had the image burned into his memory of a still naked Debbi sitting on the side of her bed as she casually blow dried her hair and then got up to randomly select a pair of knickers from her underwear draw. All these thoughts came back to him in a rush as he left her office. "Good weekend Kieron ?" asked Carol. "The best" the post boy replied !

His thoughts turned to the editing he still had to do on the audition tape and Trudy's adapted ideas to incorporate the footage from when Debbi was suspended upside down in the poacher's trap. Something about it being an allegory for the innocence of nature being corrupted by humanity !
