So, eventually found this tiny nursery out in the sticks along single-track roads (complete with complimentary grass strip up the middle of them ) about 5pm yesterday and they’d closed up and gone home (turns out “home” was on the opposite side of the road in a farmhouse type thing). There was just enough space in their “yard” to pull the wagon up for the night. Anyway, I’d just opened the door and was about to go for a “■■■■■” behind some sheds when I looked round and this well tidy lass waltzes up.
“Hiyaaaaaa, WOW That’s a BIGGGGGGG truck I’ve never seen a BIG one so close up before” she says in a ■■■■ well-spoken Norfolk accent
"Oh aye " says me
"(laughs) don’t be so RUUUUUUUUUDE " Walks round the front of the truck, “do those lights at the top work, like, REALLY bright ?”
“Yeah (flashes full beam to set them going) look, there you go” says me.
"WOW, it’s like, day-light and things Can I have a look inside "
“Yeah sure, jump up if you want. Go round the other side, there’s more space” says me, totally enjoying this little event and wondering where it might be leading
"(opens door, climbs up and sits in pax seat) Oh my God, there’s like loadssss of space and it’s really posh, with carpets and things. I expected it to be really tiny and just really… basic, d’ya know what I mean "
"uh-huh. This is my home from Monday to Saturday morning so it needs to be comfortable and cosy else I wouldn’t be working here "
“errrrrrrrrrm…”
“what?” says me.
“No it doesn’t matter, forget it (goes all shy)”.
“What? What were you going to say?”
“I was gonna ask if I could get on the bed to see what it’s like but that’s soooooo cheeky so I won’t”
"doesn’t bother me, try it if you want, but you’ll have to take your trainers off "
"are you sure " and looks at me with top teeth biting bottom lip and gives me one of those “looks” that only guys understand
“yeah, whatevers”.
“(kicks trainers off and climbs onto bunk and lays down and smiles at me) it’s really comfy isn’t it (bouncing up and down) (then pulls my duvet over her and closes her eyes and pretends to go to sleep) By the way, what’s your name ? I’m Gemma”
"Rob. Don’t get too comfy on there, I’ve got to sleep on there tonight "
"AWWWwwww. Is it big enough for two do you think "
"Yeah definitely. There’s another bunk above you hehe! "
“Haaa Haaa… I didn’t mean that and you know I didn’t . I bet it would be so cool to sleep in a big truck! Don’t you get lonely sleeping on your own all the time Haven’t you got a girlfriend?” All these questions and this flirting. She’s proper gorgeous too. Long straight brown hair, blue eyes, nice complexion, top heavy, reckoned she was about 19.
“no girlfriend at the moment, not long finished with one because of being away all week and never seeing each other, but no, don’t get lonely, it’s just part of the job and usually park-up near a pub when I can”.
So 10 minutes had gone by with all of this and she’s still laying in my bed and I can feel her eyes burning into me as I fill in my tacho and paperwork.
“Sooooooo… what are you going to do now then?” she says.
"Err, well just before you came I was about to go for a ■■■■■ somewhere over there near those trees coz I’m bursting (pointing at trees in field) "
“Oh! Sorry! You carry on, haha!”.
So goes and does that and came back and she’s put her trainers back on and is climbing down out of the cab. “I’ve got to go because my mum and dad have just come home and I haven’t done some jobs I was told to do when they went out”.
"Oh right, okay see you later, nice chatting to you "
"Do you want me to come back later if I can "
“You can do if you want to, I’ll be up til about 10 watching telly I imagine”
"Right, do you WANT me to come back though "
"I’ve told you, it’s entirely up to you. Do YOU want to come back "
“(shyly) Yeah, if that’s okay with you”
“Yeah sure, I’ll look forward to it”
All sorts of ideas racing through my head now. Am I reading too much into this and getting silly or am I really getting the “come on” here So let’s recap, cute-as-[zb] girl comes over, gets really excited about big truck (well, some people do I suppose) and then wants to have a look round and lay in my bed Not content with that, wants to come back later Yep, if that’s not a come on then I’m the King of Swaziland !
So, not knowing what to expect (AND NOT BELIEVING THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING!!!) I got another wash and brushed my pegs again at the toilet out-building (had shower a few hours since) and donned my sexiest boxers , fired my telly up and the ol’ night-heater and waited
2.5hrs went by and I was just about to pack my telly up and go to sleep when I hears a knock at the door. Immediately thinking of the usual greeting to expect when one gets unexpected knocks at unearthly hours of the night (ie. do you want business love?) I laughed to myself, climbed across the bunk and opened the door. She was stood there, shivvering like [zb] with a big steaming mug of something in her hands. She says “hiya” and passes me the mug (turned out to be hot chocolate!) and told her to get in the other side. Well… talk about dressed to kill She had her coat on but took it off as soon as she got in. Red cropped gypsy style top and dark coloured plaid skirt. Her hair was so straight you could have used it as a ruler. She was proper hot and I was rapidly losing my composure!!!
“Nice outfit!” I says to her, “are you going out later on?”.
“No why?”
“No reason, just wondered why you were all dolled up!”
She didn’t even answer that and climbed over the pax seat and got on top of me on the bunk (bit of a squeeze!). Anyway, much “fumbling” (for the want of a better word!) later and things were really starting to get heated there’s a knock at the door Hears this woman’s voice, “GEMMA, I KNOW YOU’RE IN THERE. OPEN THIS DOOR NOW AND GET OUT NOW”.
She whispers to me, “[zb] it’s my mum, I told her I’d only be 10 minutes whilst I gave you that hot chocolate!” She shouts, “I’m just talking to the driver, Rob, I’ll be in in a few minutes”.
“LIKE HELL YOU WILL LADY. GET OUT HERE NOW”.
She whispers to me, “have you got a pen?” so I gave her one. She writes a number down and tells me it’s her moby number. She told me to write mine down and she’d call me from the house so I gave her mine.
So, clothes back on, one last kiss and off she went, taking a severe ear-bashing from mum in the process
So, 15 mins later the phone went… I won’t go into details of the conversation but it doesn’t take much working out So at the end of that call she said she’d be up in the morning to see me before I went (awwww ).
Got up for 8 this morning and as I looked out of the window towards the house she’s there in the window brushing her hair and waved at me
Reversed onto the “bay” and got the cages loaded, secured, shut up and sealed up and then had to go across to the house for the paperwork Gemma was in there in the foyer with “mum” who gave me the notes to sign and stuff and clearly wasn’t amused about the night befores’ antics but didn’t say anything.
All sorted so not wanting to cause another ruckus I bid my good-byes and set off back to the wagon. Gemma says, “I’ll come with you… to make sure you don’t hit anything when turning out of the yard” she added quickly after a “knowing” look from “mum”. Mum pipes up, “you’re going nowhere, you can fax this through for me instead”. So, managed to sneakily give her a wink and blow a kiss when mum wasn’t looking and disappeared, remembering that I was there to do a job and not to try to [zb] the daughter
Hadn’t been in the cab 2 seconds and the phone was going. “SHE’S A [ZB] [ZB] I HAAAAAAAAAATE HER GRRRRRRRR I’m so sorry about that, she’s so protective of me and my dad’s even worse!”.
“What if I get round the corner and wait and you could make excuses and come round and then maybe park up somewhere?” - the devil getting the better of me tsk tsk
“Hmmmm, I caaaaaaan’t, she’s onto me and I’ve got loads of plants to pot and stuff today. ■■■■! I so want to carry on from where we stopped last night”
“Me too”
“When are you coming down again?”
“I don’t know, it’s a new job. I’ll definitely ask for this run if it comes up though”.
So that was about the end of it although we have been texting and chatting all day today She wants me to go down in my car and meet her and go out and stuff but Attleborough is a long way from Dewsbury and that’s a very expensive [zb] !!! So nothing REALLY happened, but what did happen was pretty damned good and an event I’ll always remember !
Jealous guys ■■
