Maddy was delighted when Aaron turned up at her home that Saturday afternoon. It was the first time she’d seen him for days. For once she’d resisted the temptation to see him during the week, knowing they both had a lot to do. What she didn’t admit to herself was that Andy’s words of a few days ago had perhaps also affected her.

She’d spoken to Aaron on the phone during the week, telling him about her row with Andy but not going into too many details as she hadn’t wanted Rebecca to overhear her. But now they were alone, she couldn’t wait to confide in him.

‘Put your jacket on. We’re not stopping,’ he said as soon as he walked into the hallway.

‘Oh,’ she said, looking at him, her lips pouting and her manner sultry. Then she drew closer, grasping his shoulders between her hands as her breasts rubbed against his body. ‘Haven’t you missed me?’

Aaron laughed. ‘Of course I have but there’ll be plenty of time for that later. There’s something I want to show you first and I think you’re gonna like it.’

‘Ooh, sounds good.’ She giggled.

Aaron took hold of her hand. ‘Come on,’ he said. ‘I can’t wait to show you.’

‘Wait a minute. I haven’t got my jacket yet or put my shoes on.’

Aaron waited in the car, then watched as Maddy stepped into the vehicle, her tight-fitting skirt riding up to expose a tantalising amount of flesh as she curled her legs inside. He smiled and started the engine.

‘What’s all this about your ex-husband, then?’ he asked as they set off down the road.

‘Oh, he seems to have got a bee in his bonnet.’ She sighed in irritation. ‘Like I told you on the phone, Becky is supposed to have told him that you swore at her.’

‘I’d never do that, Maddy.’

‘I know. You told me. I can only think Becky lied about it for some reason, but I can’t think why. It isn’t like her. Then again, she is showing signs of jealousy like she did when I was with Rob. So perhaps it’s down to that. I did tackle her about it and she swears she didn’t say anything to her father. In fact, she looked a bit put out by the fact that he had told me what she said.’

‘Well, to be honest, Maddy, we have been spending a lot of time together.’

Maddy looked at him, shocked, and he could tell she was expecting him to cool things off. ‘Oh, not that I’m complaining,’ he quickly added. ‘But you can understand it in a way. She’s become used to having you to herself and probably doesn’t like to share you. Kids can get like that. It’s understandable.’

‘Well, it’s not on,’ she said. ‘I’m entitled to a life too and she’ll just have to get used to it.’

Aaron had been testing her to see how much she valued his company, and by the sound of things she wasn’t going to let even her daughter come between them.
