Chapter 8

Stuart woke with a start, there was a lot of noise outside the hut and he was wondering what the hell was going on, putting on his trousers he went to the hut door to find Michael standing there shouting at another man in Maltese. As Stuart was about to ask Michael what was going on, Hannah was stood behind him, she was still in her shorty nighty, and had no wish to show Michael what she was wearing, but she understood what was being said. "Stuart love, the lorries have arrived with the glass, but it seems that it's in a huge container that needs to be lifted off with a crane so that the lorry can go back for the second container as soon as it can". "Ok". Stuart said. "We do have a crane on site, Michael will the crane we have on site lift the container". Michael nodded, "I think so boss, we can give it a go". "Ok". Stuart said. "You organise that, I will have a quick wash and some breakfast, and I will be with you in 30 minutes". Hannah squeezed Stuart's shoulder. "Michael, make that 45 minutes". Michael walked away, he knew what he had to do, and was ready and willing to carry out Stuart's orders, he knew that Stuart and Hannah were good people who looked after the workforce, and he was happy to do everything it took to get this site perfect.

Hannah pulled Stuart back into the hut, then pulling him into the bedroom she said. "You got out of bed without giving me a kiss, ever since we have been sleeping together, you have never not kissed me when we woke up". "Sorry love, but with all the shout". Hannah had stopped him in mid sentence with a kiss." I love you". she said. "Yesterday we got engaged, and when we got back to our little hut, I never really showed you how I felt, we did make love, but I wanted to do more, but we were tired". as she was talking Hannah was undoing the top buttons on Stuart's trousers, as they dropped to the floor Hannah pushed Stuart back onto the bed, he lay there looking up at her, then she moved forward and mounted the stallion, she rode him for some time, and every time she felt he was ready, she would stop, then ride him again, after almost 30 minutes Stuart was begging for release, so Hannah being so much in love with her man let him have his pleasure, as she looked down at him he could see the contentment on her face. "That my love". she said is for the diamond you placed on my finger, and tonight, I will show you how I feel about the 8 sapphires that surround it". she claimed off of him and headed for the portacabin still in her nightdress.

Steuart headed for the indoor pool as he walked to the top of the incline he had a toasted cheese sandwich in his hand with a chunk taken out of it, that was in his mouth, by the time he got to the pool, the toasty had all but gone and Stuart was ready to get organised with the building of the glass walls of the indoor pool. Michael already had the container doors open, and inside were wooden crates full of glass sheets, each pane separated by a bundle of straw, with the help of the dumper truck a length of rope and the crane the crates were taken to the pool site and laid on either side of the pool.

This was a slow job, as Stuart said to Michael. "We cannot afford to break the panes of glass, they are double glazed, and when the site opens, and we get the holidaymakers, it will mean that if it is too cold for the outdoor pool, then it will always be nice and warm for the indoor pool, the heat from any sun will penetrate the glass, but it won't be able to get out again, so this pool can be used all year round". as they were talking Hannah turned up with Stuarts lunch and a flask of coffee, she also told the two of them, that the second container had arrived and was ready to be unloaded. Michael and some of the pool crew made their way back to the road leading into the site, the crane picked up the empty container and took it back to the lorry, then with the help of the pool crew, they did a change over of containers and with the new container being taken back to the pool site the lorry made his way back to its depot, Michael telling the driver that he could pick up the container at the end of the week. As all this was going on, three smaller lorries arrived on site with the fence panels and fence posts, Michael grabbed the team that was doing that job and told them to unload the lorries, and once the crane was finished with, he would get the crane driver to lift the panels and put them next to the caravan and campervan area. When Michael got back to the pool, the second container was being unloaded, each leg for the pool was in three sections, the top two sections being 4 feet high and the bottom section being just 2 feet, each bottom section had a plate that fitted onto the wall and would be bolted in with special bolts, the distance between each post was determined by the size of the glass, in this case, 10 by 10. Michael advised they fit the bottom posts in first as that would be the hard part, mainly because every one of the lower posts had to be measured precisely, then drilled and bolted into place. while this was going on, the crane could do some of the other jobs that it needed to do, then when it had finished those jobs it could come back to the pool and help fit the top two posts and help put the glass in place, this would be a very long job, and then the roof had to go on.

Stuart took some time to help sort out the campervan and caravan site, with Hannah as his voice, he showed the team doing the job what he wanted. Each pitch had a hard standing of tarmac on top of gravel, this lead to a road that took you off the site via the main entrance and booking shed, alongside the hard standing was a grassed area roughly the same size as the hard standing, Stuart has sent his boos back in England the measurements he had taken for the area and the boss had somehow sorted out, that 4 fence panels and 5 fence posts would do the job, So Stuart though Hannah told the crews forman what he wanted, however, he also told the foreman, the very first pitch would need, an extra 2 fence panels and 2 posts, he then drew a rough diagram in his notebook to show the man. He looked at Hannah then nodded his head, saying in Maltese he understood. Stuart and Hannah went back to the indoor pool to see how things were progressing, and when they got back they saw that things were going very well, it was almost 3-30 and within the next 30 minutes the workforce would be heading home, but looking at the pool, the team had in one afternoon put up and bolted in half of the posts on one side of the pool. Stuart looked at his watch. "Ok Michael, the busses will be here soon, let's call it a day". "Ok boss". Michael said. then in Maltese to the crew, he told them to call it a day. there picked up the jackets and bags and walked towards the main road in the site where the two busses that took them all home were just parking up.

Stuart and Hannah holding hands made there way back to their hut, it had been a long day, but well worthwhile, things were coming along very fast now, and Stuart felt, the campsite would be ready well before time, as he went to sit on the sofa Hannah stopped him, she grabbed for his hand and lead him into the portacabin kitchen area. "Sit". she said, then turning to the small cooker she filled the kettle, with a cup of tea on the table for each of them she sat down. "So my love, how do you think it's going". Stuart looked at the beauty sat opposite him, he had this twinkle in his eye, but it seemed to Hannah to say bugger the site, how are you feeling. "Stuart love, I want to talk about the site". "I don't, it's all going well, now, I feel like talking about those sapphires on your finger". "Stop it, Stuart, we can talk about those later". Stuart leaned across the table, but Hannah put her hand up to stop him. "Yuk, your all sweaty, Stuart took a drink from his cup then standing up to took Hannah by the hand and lead her into the shower room, he didn't strip off, fully clothed he hushed Hannah into the shower and turned the water on. "You bugger". she said. "This was clean on this morning". as she stood with Stuart under the cascading water, she allowed Stuart to remove her clothes, once she was naked she watched him strip off his own clothes, This was going to be a first for Hannah, she had never made love underwater before, but Stuart was very gentle, he placed his hand on Hannahs's thigh and raised her leg to his hip then stepped into the space he had made, Hannah felt him, "What is your plan". she asked. "You have 8 sapphires on that ring you are wearing correct". "I do". she said. "But you will never". Stuart stopped her with his mouth on hers, and an hour later Hannah was digging her nails into Stuart's back begging him to give her a chance to get her breath back, then she felt it again, as he lowered her leg back onto the floor of the shower he said. "that was lovely, job done and you my sweet were with me all the way". Hannah slapped his shoulder then kissed him. "You so and so, but I love you, so, we have done the diamond and the sapphires, what's next". "Next my love, we just get on with our lives and enjoy what we have.

In the hut Stuart and Hannah were sat on the sofa in each other's arms, Stuart in his fresh clean underpants and Hannah in the shorty nighty, and as they sat enjoying each others company, Stuart had Hannahs bust in his hand and was gently squeezing, Hannah had her mouth open but nothing was coming out, then it happened. "Mmm". she said. "Stuart you are doing crazy things to me, and I love it, but you're not".Stuart cut her off with a kiss. "No my love, I just love the feel of your very beautiful body".

Stuart and Hannah went to bed, they had one final kiss and as they were cuddled up, Stuart whispered into Hannah's ear. "Hannah I love you". He closed his eyes but felt Hannah turn over so that she was facing him she kissed him and said. "Darling, you said that without any hesitation what so ever, at last, I love you as well, goodnight my love.

Sat at the table in the portacabin eating fried eggs on toast that Hannah had made for him she again asked how he thought the work was progressing, and knowing what had happened the night before, she was ready to stop any antics Stuart might have in his mind, but Stuart was happy to talk about the work, he was happy with the progress and happy with the team of men he had. Hannah sat down a cup of tea in her hand, she now felt relaxed, Stuart was not going to try anything. With his plate empty Stuart stood up, "Right love better see how things are getting along, see you later". he kissed Hannah and made to walk out of the portacabin. "Well". she said. "That's all I get, a little peck, last night you dragged me fully clothed into the shower, and an hour later you were cheering that you had made love to me 8 times, what is going on". Stuart walked towards Hannah, he held her in his arms. "My sweet, what we did last night was fantastic and I loved every minute of it, it was a dare on my part to see if I could do it, and I am happy that I did, as I said last night, I do love you, and when this site is up and running we will be married, and until that day, I want to make love to you as often as you will let me, and we will have fun like last night, but it will be a different sort of fun, and you will love it". Stuart kissed Hannah again and walked out of the portacabin. As Hannah watched him go, she suddenly realised that Stuart was not the shy person she had met on the Devon campsite, well shy with women like herself, he was now much more outgoing, and she was liking what she saw, this was a man who was not only in love with her, but willing to go that extra mile to please, As Hannah cleaned up the portacabin, then went into the hut to make the bed and clean up the lounge area she was singing to herself, she was happy and beginning to love her new life.
