Chapter 50

When Matt woke up, he realised that Montana wasn’t beside him in the bed. As the sun began to stream through his window, he lay on his back and considered what had happened the night before. After Montana had crawled into bed with him, he stared at the window for what seemed like hours. Having such a beautiful girl in bed with him half-naked had him aroused to a high level, and his desire to make love to her right then was as intense as a heart attack. On the other hand, if she only wanted companionship, Matt didn’t want to spoil their relationship by making a clumsy and unwanted sexual advance. After a while, though, he finally worked up the courage to turn around and make his move, but realised that she was sound asleep. Oh well, he thought, it must have been companionship she had wanted after all, as he rolled back towards the window and tried to sleep.

The girls were already cleaning up their breakfast dishes when he got to the kitchen.

“Good morning,” he said to them, as he tried to read Montana’s mood.

“Good afternoon, more like it,” she laughed good-naturedly. “Gabby and I have been up for hours, haven’t we?”

“Yes Matt,” said Gabby.

“Well, I had a big day yesterday. I was really tired.”

“That’s why Montana said not to wake you up. She said you’d need your beauty sleep.”

The girls looked at each other and tried to suppress their giggles, as Matt attempted to keep a straight face.

“Oh, it’s like that is it?” he asked. “The girls ganging up on the only boy in the house?”

“Yes,” said Montana. “We have you outnumbered so don’t forget it.”

“Yes,” echoed Gabby. “Outnumbered.”

”Oh well then, I guess I’d better be on my best behaviour. I don’t want to get into trouble.”

After breakfast Matt went out to complete the fencing while the girls went to the bookmobile to do some schoolwork. The arc lights had switched themselves off automatically when the sun started to rise but Matt knew he would need to check the fuel levels again before it was dark tonight. If he got the fencing finished in time he would see if he could rig up some motion sensors so that the lights would switch on automatically if triggered. It would save fuel and they wouldn’t need to put up with the noise of the generators. As he walked the perimeter of his new fence line, he tested the strength of the metal posts by grabbing each one in both hands and trying to wiggle them loose from their concrete pads. They were all rock-solid, and Matt knew that once the wire was up, the fence would provide them with a formidable barrier. He got to work unrolling the large bundles of fencing wire.

A couple of hours later, after he’d attached almost half of the wire to the posts, Gabby came running to him with a cool bottle of water and a sandwich. He took them from her little hands and walked over to the shade of the pepper tree to eat.
