Had to move

I had a small office I ran my business out of, nothing special. But the building it was in sold for redevelopment (2001) and I'd to move. Which was difficult mainly as available office space was rented higher than I wanted to pay. But I found a suitable office, that was bigger than I needed. It had a bathroom, small kitchen and a lockup garage at the back. With 5 actual offices. I realized I could move in and live there as well as just for my business. Doing that and not needing my small apartment made it cheaper than it had been renting the office and apartment as I'd been doing. I moved in, the entrance had a small reception area than the offices behind and the rest behind them. Using the offices closest to the entrance as my office and the others as lounge and bedrooms with the one closest to kitchen as my dining room and the one next to it as my bedroom. I was settled about a month and a blackout happened a truck had hit a pole or something. It was fixed in about 2 hours or so, it was when the streetlights came on, I noticed someone huddled in the doorway. I opened the door and scared a woman as she was living on the streets, she was just trying to get out the wind. I calmed her down and decided to get out of the cold night air and offered her a coffee at first. She was wary but accepted as she hadn't anything that day to eat and only water from the fountain in the park to drink. I gave some food and coffee; it was Saturday night, and I had nothing planned for Sunday don't open on Sunday. She was okay looking and had 2 plastic bags with everything she owned, I said she could have my spare bed. I went to my bed, and she showered first then to hers. In the morning, we had breakfast together and I found out she was just a year younger than I was. I've never married and rarely dated; she had lost her job after her divorce and couldn't find another and so ended up on the streets. Neither of us anything special in looks or body shape, she washed her few clothes using my bathrobe until they were done. We than went shopping for groceries and other things, I was letting her stay as I thought it was the right thing to do. Anyway, she cooked our dinner, and I caught up on some work. My filing system is put where you can, and it hinders my work somewhat while I find what I want. While dinner was cooking, she started cleaning up my files and made them easier to find and they stacked up in piles as I'd no cabinets to store them. This was how we were for about five days, her becoming my unpaid assistant. Then on the night of the fifth day she joined me in my bed, and we started having sex. Using the pull out just in time method. Which worked fairly well till I got condoms the following Sunday shopping trip. At a charity shop she got some better clothes, and I got old filing cabinets and a second computer for her use. It was old but good enough for office work at the time. She was sleeping with me fulltime now and was quite happy with her staying as long as she wanted too. Sex and cooked meals were hard to argue against and my office became more efficient. After about year together and I still wasn't paying her, we married. No reason I just decided I wanted too, and she agreed. She soon asked me did I want children, and I said maybe hadn't given any thought. She said she did and so we started trying and about 2 months later she was pregnant. With a more efficient computer system installed my business improved greatly to the extent I was bought out (2005) by a larger firm and given a job on better money than I had been making. With one child already and a second on the way it was smartest thing I could've done. My wife was also being paid as my assistant a bonus for us. We stayed in our old, rented office and home till 2008. Then buying a house with a yard for our growing family then 3 children. I'm a partner in the firm and haven't looked back much since. Best thing I ever did was to help my now wife and I was rewarded with a much better life in return.
