Chapter One:
Carla Decorates the Spare BedroomThere was a lovely couple, by the names of Carla Robinson and Kevin Lake. Carla had long blonde hair and hazel brown eyes. She was 20 years old, 5ft 8in tall and she had a slender figure. Kevin had short brown hair, blue eyes, he was 18 years old, he was 5f 4in tall and he had a slim frame. Carla was happy being Kevin’s girlfriend, there was only a couple of years apart between her and Keven and she liked the idea of going out with a younger man. Kevin was unemployed looking for work, while Carla was a manager of her own company, but she could not be seen as given favours to her boyfriend, by simply giving him a job. Though she did want to be able to give him one, even though she was her own boss, that was not the point. Keven had to have the right qualifications and work experience to be able to work, for any position in her company and sadly, he had neither of those. Kevin had started getting and being depressed for the past few months and it was not healthy for him, even though Carla made sure that he ate a well-balanced meal etc. He was starting to look a little pale and was being grumpy quite a lot, because he was not getting offered a job. Over time, Kevin became quite depressed and would end up braking down into tears. In those moments, Carla would comfort him, but she began to feel that Kevin needed more than just comforting, he needed a new lease of life in some way.One day Carla was on her computer, she was researching on what to do to be able to help Kevin. She had studied a few helpful sites. But something caught her eye, something that was completely unexpected and not what she had been searching for, but the subject matter was there all the same and she looked completely surprised, so she investigated the matter further and she liked what she had seen and then she got another idea, of which she liked a lot.Later, at lunch time, Carla sat at the dinner table in the kitchen, she always had dinner at home, it was a tradition of a sorts. She never got a bite to eat at her office or used the cantina that was there for her employees to use. Kevin sat at the dinner table too and was used to Carla’s tradition of being sat around at a dinner table, he found it to be quite quaint and charming. “How’s dinner my love?” Asked Carla, as she smiled, watching him eat, while she had a thought go through her head, it was a happy thought. “Lovely as always sweetheart.” Replied Kevin with a smile. “Why thank you my love.” Said Carla, sounding quite happy. “What do you have planned for this afternoon?” Asked Carla. “I will be playing on my XBOX X.” Replied Kevin. “Don’t you think that you spend a bit too much time on that my love?” Asked Carla in concern, as she had noticed that over the past few months, he has kept himself, much to himself playing on his console and not spending as much time with her, that he once used to do so.“No, not at all. I like playing on my games console, it helps me to relax.” Said Kevin, Carla looked hurt when he said that. “I once used to be able to help you relax my love!” Exclaimed Carla sounding quite upset. “I know sweetheart. But I have been getting increasingly stressed out and the only thing that helps me be less stressed out is playing on my games console.” Replied Kevin, trying his level best to sooth things over with Carla. Carla did not say anything, as she had other ideas in her head.“Okay my love. Oh. As of tomorrow, and a week or so from now. I am going to be decorating our spare bedroom.” Said Carla with a happy smile on her face. “Decorate it. Why?” Asked Kevin in surprise. It was Carla’s home that Kevin lived in, and it was a lovely two bed house with two bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen and the one on suit bathroom. Carla and Kevin slept together and sex between them had been good. In fact, their relationship had been good, apart from a few months ago. Their relationship had become strained and distant, due to Kevin no longer spending as much time with Carla. The second bedroom was bare, it did not even have a carpet on the floor. It was a wooden floor that Calar had the house cleaner clean for her once every week, as well as the rest of the other rooms, but the house cleaner did not live with Carla and Kevin and Carla did not want or need a live in house cleaner, she was happy and content to hire in someone to come in and do the cleaning on a weekly basis. The second bedroom had white wallpaper, and the room had not been filled in or carpeted ever since Carla first bought the house. She was perfectly happy with the second bedroom as it was, hence, Kevin’s surprise that for some reason that she wanted to have the spare bedroom decorated now. “Because I have had a sudden idea for the spare bedroom.” Said Carla, quite happily. “Oh! What is that?” Asked Kevin sounding surprised again.
“It’s a surprise.” Said Carla. “Oh! What kind of a surprise?” Asked Kevin, who was quite curious by now. “If I told you, it would not be a surprise now, wouldn’t it?” Replied Caral with a smile on her face. “Okay. Can you at least tell me who is going to be doing the decorating?” Asked Kevin. “Why me of course.” Replied Carla. “You!” Exclaimed Kevin in surprise.” Carla smiled at him. “Yes why of course me. I did not become a home decorator and then started my own Home Improvement Company for nothing my love.” Said Carla.“Yes, I know that. But why do it yourself sweetheart, when you could get someone else in to do it for you?” Asked Kevin. “Because I want this to be my very own special project, that’s why.” Said Carla. “Oh.” Said Kevin, not sure of what to make of this news, but he simply went with it. After all, if decorating the spare bedroom made Carla happy, then he was happy for her. Carla had made sure to set things up with her most trusted executive manager to manage her business, while she took the time off to personally decorate the spare bedroom of her own home.Work began on the following day, while Kevin as usual spent most of his time in the living room, playing on his XBOX X console. While Carla got to work on decorating the spare bedroom, she had a joiner come in and change the spare bedroom door. Over time, Carla had furniture moved into the spare bedroom, as well as having the bedroom door locked, for when she was not decorating it, to prevent Kevin from peeking into the bedroom to she what she had been up to.Kevin of course tried to do just that, peek into the spare bedroom. He was first greeted by the new door, no longer was it a plain white one, it was a golden door, not solid gold of course, but the door was golden in colour, it had a shine to it, just like gold, the door frame was fancy, with lots of floral like patterns all around it. The door handle was delicately a hand crafted one. But as Kevin pulled down the handle, expecting to be able to open the door, to his surprise, but mostly shock. The door did not open, it had a lock on it and a very sophisticated one at that. To Be Continued.
