I drove to the motel made some lunch for Marcus last night I had made some muffins and slices I put a few in a box to take to station for morning tea. I then headed to the bank the manager beeline for me.

Good morning mr smith I’m in a bit of a hurry so all I need is three new account forms for Marcus to sign and return two will need card forms I’ll return them tomorrow. I want them linked to my account. I want a $1000 in each account from mine to open it but Im in a bit of a hurry so I need to sign for it now. I also need the form to transfer money from the joint account to mind Marcus will return that. Ok he said he disappeared returning 1min later with paperwork

At 9.15 I was walking into the station the guys are all in the break room I’ll show you Larry said. I walked in Marcus jumped up hi honey he said coming over to kiss me. Ok I don’t have much time here is your lunch. I also have morning tea and put the box down in-fronted the guys.

Right to business I need paperwork signed he sat back down it’s morning tea and some sexy woman bought us food he said grabbing one from the box. I walked over I have forms you need to sign and take to the bank today at lunch I slammed on the table. When you finish work you need to move everything from the motel to the house and you will need to look after the kids as they arrive back or you won’t be sleeping with some sexy woman tonight.

The guys all laughed and Marcus glared at them then at me, where do you think you are going without my permission he grinned to tell me he was big noting in front of the guys.

We walked to office works while we did I sent a text to Jerry

I texted Jerry again Tony just left Bathurst when he gets there unload his car then let him into my house.

Marcus answered hi sexy are you missing me. Have you had lunch yet I asked yes it was delicious he said. Marcus the bank I yelled.

At the truck place I bought 1 truck to start with then I ordered 3 atv’s to be delivered to the farm. I’ll drive the truck can you follow I asked Louise back to Bunnings. I drove into Bunnings the truck was full then we drove to the airport and parked it back to the truck place I said hoping into Louise car.
