At Aunty Amelia's House
My mum, Emily, and I got on fairly well; well there was only the two of
us since dad's car crash. We missed him but were well off as he had both
good car and life insurance policies and compensation from the company
whose driver had caused the crash had all paid up. Our close
relationship had been a bit strained recently as at sixteen I was
looking for a part time job but without success. Mum was supportive even
to the point of seeing if there were any vacancies where she worked but
without luck. One day mum came home looking rather sad.
"What is it mum?" I asked.
"Nothing, it's just I've been offered a great chance to head up the new
system."
"So why are you unhappy? I thought it's what you wanted."
"It is but they want me to spend a year in Florida to do it and
apparently I can't take you with me."
"That's okay, I'll look after myself."
She laughed.
"That'll be the day. You only just survived when I went away for that
weekend."
I knew she was right, although I helped around the house mum did most of
the shopping and cooking for us.
"I'm sorry mum, I know you had your heart set on it. If there is any way
I can help I will."
Nothing more was said that evening and I spent a fair time on my
computer practicing how to program applications linked to databases. Yes
I was a bit of a nerd.
The next day I got home late after unsuccessfully going around a number
of companies in search of any sort of employment and found mum on the
phone. I went into the kitchen to get a hot drink as it was late March
and rather cold out. I made mum a drink as she finished her call and
joined me.
"Thank you Paul. Please sit down as I want to talk to you," she said as
I was about to disappear upstairs, so I sat as she took the chair
opposite me. "Paul yesterday you said if you could help in any you
would, did you mean it?"
"Of course mum," I answered wondering what this was leading up to.
"Well that was your Aunty Amelia on the phone." I suppressed any comment
as we had not always seen eye to eye on things but that was a few years
ago, I hoped I had matured a bit since then. Aunty Amelia was mum's
sister and lived in a very large house left to her by her late husband
in Cornwall. Although they kept in contact we rarely saw each other due
to the distance. "I was talking to her and she asked about the job and
about you and I explained that you couldn't find a job and my problem.
Well she said that as you didn't have any ties here would you like to
spend a year living with her so I could take the job."
Before I could comment she went on, "She's not really that bad and
perhaps it would be a chance for you to get to know her better. I know
you had problems last time but you're more responsible now. Don't' make
a decision now, think about it over night and let me know in the
morning." She then got on with sorting out tea after which I went to my
room to think over mum's request. It could be worse I suppose, there
certainly was lovely countryside around where I could go for walks and
as long as I had my laptop I could keep out of my aunt's way if that was
what she wanted. I could even help a little with housework and as mum
said it would be a chance to mend the fences between us.
Next morning I came downstairs and was setting up the breakfast things
on the table as mum arrived down.
"Mum this job is important to you isn't it?"
"Yes but not more important than you."
"I know." I smiled, mum always made me feel important. "If you really
want to do this I will go and stay with Aunty Amelia."
"Oh thank you dear," she said coming round to give me a big hug
confirming how much she wanted to go. "And it will only be for a year
and I'm sure Amelia will look after you well."
"Just one thing, what about my A levels at college?" I had just finished
my first year.
"I will look into it while you're with Aunty. The project isn't due to
start for a couple of months so you can complete your first year before
I have to go." She actually looked into it immediately and later told me
that 'Apparently my company have some clout and have arranged for you to
resume it next year.' I was glad as I knew mum wanted me to have a good
education but was right that I couldn't survive living on my own.
So it was settled, she went to work and accepted the post and contacted
Amelia to let her know my decision.
The next couple of months disappeared quickly and the last few weeks
were crammed with travel preparations and clothes packing for both of us
and getting the house ready as her company were going to rent it out so
that the bills could be paid in the UK rather than from the US. I was to
travel down by train and Aunty would meet me at the station. The day
came and I was up early as I had to get the 7:15 train from Norwich down
to London and I kissed mum goodbye as she yet again thanked me for
agreeing to stay at Aunty Amelia's.
The train journey was long if uneventful. I was even able to get a seat
with a table for the leg from London to Cornwall so got to do things on
my laptop until the battery began to run out. Still, I had taken a
couple of novels to help pass the time and finally got to the station
around 3 o'clock and lugged my two suitcases and rucksack out to the car
park. I looked around to see my aunt exiting a Range Rover and went to
meet her. She hadn't changed much since I had seen her last but she was
only about six inches taller than me now. She smiled saying
"Hello Paul it's nice to see you, put your cases in the back." Which she
had opened for me. A short while later we were on the way. We talked
mostly about mum and she appreciated what I was doing for her. When we
finally arrived at her house I was surprised at it seemed larger than I
remembered. We got out of the car and I was surprised to see the front
door being opened by a very attractive maid in a rather fancy outfit
approach.
"Good afternoon ma'am, I see Paul arrived on time."
"Yes Tabitha, do you think you could help him with his cases?" she asked
opening the back door. To my surprise she picked them both up as if they
weighed nothing. Aunty smiled when she saw my surprise. "Tabitha says
it's technique but I reckon she works out in private in her free time."
"What free time?" responded Tabitha and they both laughed, it was
obviously a well-known joke between them.
"Shall I take these straight up to his room?" asked Tabitha and at a nod
from Aunty she disappeared. "Come into the kitchen, it's a bit cosier in
there and we can have a chat and I need a cup of tea." We went in and
Aunty put the kettle on and we sat down. "So Paul, have you made any
plans for what you are going to do this year?"
I had but I also had something I wanted to say first. "Before we get to
that I wanted to apologise."
"Why what are you planning?" Aunty asked guardedly.
"Not for what I am going to do but for the way I acted in the past. I
was hoping that if you would accept my apology that we could start our
relationship on a better footing."
"My my," said Amelia, "your mother said you have grown up a lot and
matured somewhat in the last couple of years and it seems she was right.
Of course I accept your apology and look forward to a pleasant time
together," she answered with a warm smile getting up and making me a
coffee and tea for herself. I for one was very grateful, a year with an
angry aunt would not be much fun.
"As to what I am going to do I thought I would look for a job to help
pay for your hospitality and perhaps help around the house," I offered
tentatively. Her laughter was a surprise.
"Paul with that attitude I am sure we will get along fine. However I
shouldn't worry about a job, firstly because I don't need any financial
help, Uncle Patrick left me very well off, although I appreciate the
sentiment but secondly because jobs around here are scarcer than in
Norfolk. As to helping around the house well as well as Tabitha I have a
couple of other maids who come in three days a week, so keeping the
house clean is no problem. Still I am sure we can find things for you to
do. But I expect you would like a shower before the evening meal, let me
show you to your room." With that she got up and I followed her.
I was slightly surprised at the d?cor of the room as it was slightly
more feminine than I was expecting. "You must excuse the d?cor but since
my husband died I have only had female visitors and the room you stayed
in last time is now used for storage. However this one has the advantage
of having its own en-suite." I looked through the open door to see a
bathroom about the size of the one at home but it was in keeping with
the large bedroom which had a queen sized bed in it and plenty of room
besides.
"It's fine Aunty thank you."
"Right I'll leave you to it and Tabitha will call you when dinner's
ready, so after your shower relax."
"Thank you Aunty Amelia." A quick search revealed that in the short time
since I arrived Tabitha had managed to unload my suitcases and put all
my clothes away and put my toiletries in the bathroom.
After a most welcome shower I put on my bathrobe and sat on the bed. I
must have been more tired than I knew as the next moment I was being
awoken by Tabitha as I must have fallen asleep.
"Paul you need to get dressed as dinner will be in fifteen minutes. Can
you manage or would you like me to help you?" Whilst I would have loved
having her help me, my embarrassment at the offer turned me beet red and
without saying anything else she left smiling. Once composed I dressed
smartly and went to find my aunt who it turned out was already in the
dining room. She was seated at the head of the table and I sat next to
her at one of the two other places that had been laid.
"Did you have a nice sleep?" She asked grinning.
"Yes thank you," I replied realising that she had spoken to Tabitha.
"Didn't you want her to help you dress? She helps me occasionally, it's
very nice being pampered."
"I did but I was too embarrassed and afraid I might get an unwanted
reaction."
"She is very pretty, I know you like her, I saw the look on your face
when she came to the car when we arrived. It's true isn't it?"
"Yes aunty she is very pretty especially in her maid's outfit, actually
she's gorgeous."
"Why thank you Paul," said Tabitha who was obviously standing behind me.
I was shocked and embarrassed and my first reaction was to run away but
aunty laid her hand on mine.
"I'm sorry dear I couldn't resist it when I realised that you didn't
know Tabitha had come in the room. Please forgive me."
"Of course."
Tabitha said nothing further as she served the meal before joining us at
the table. I was surprised as in previous visits the staff never ate
with us.
"I can see that you're surprised that Tabitha eats with us," said
Amelia. "It's just as there is only the two of us well three now it
seems silly to stand on ceremony especially as while Tabitha is still
the maid she has also become quite a friend and anyway it was more your
uncle who insisted on it."
I said nothing as it was her house. That evening we chatted about
various things until I began to yawn and decided to head for bed. I
returned to my room and having finished in the bathroom I returned to
the main bedroom to find Tabitha turning down the bedclothes, she had
also laid out my pyjamas for me.
"Thank you," I said, but instead of leaving she came over and said,
"It's me who should be thanking you for your nice comments about me."
She came across kissed me on the cheek, then before leaving added, "See
you in the morning."
Seeing her was enough to start a stirring in my trousers, the kiss and
smell of her perfume and I was profoundly stiff. I must get a grip
otherwise I might do something regrettable. Slipping in to the satin
sheets was not helping very much but I finally went to sleep.
I awoke the next morning disturbing dreams disappearing as I came to.
The result however was not so easily dealt with. I could not believe
that at the age of sixteen nearly seventeen that I had had a wet dream,
something that hadn't happened since I was thirteen.
I quickly undressed leaving my pyjamas to deal with later and quickly
dressed as I knew breakfast was usually at nine, trying to act as if
nothing had happened. After breakfast as Aunty was working in the
library I decided to go for a long walk and clear my head, it was a bit
chilly but brisk walking kept me warm enough. It was not until half an
hour out that I remembered my pyjamas but continued my walk deciding to
sort them out on my return. It was after a two hour walk that I got back
and decided to clear up the mess and have a shower before lunch. On
entering my room I found my bed made and my pyjamas missing. I was
mortified that Tabitha had witnessed my apparent lack of control but it
was too late to do anything about it now.
Over lunch I chatted with my aunt to discover that she was starting to
catalogue all the books in the library. The problem was how to doing it
in a way that would be useful, by title, author, date or position in the
library. I saw a chance to help my aunt.
"Aunty, I could write a program which could store all that information
so that you could look up books by any of those categories."
"Well I'm not sure I would be able to use such a system, it sounds a bit
complicated."
"Not at all. You won't need to know anything about how it works; I'll
design a screen for entering the data and lookup screens for finding it
again and even develop some reports. I tell you what, I will make a
prototype and you can have a look. If you don't want it no problem but
let's face it you use other computer programs and you might find it
useful."
"Well okay but I don't want to put you to too much trouble."
"Aunty if the weather forecast for the next few days is anything to go
by walks will be out of the question so it will keep me busy and anyway
I like doing it." And so it was settled and by the evening meal I had
completed the first stage.
After tea I got ready for bed and settled down to read for a while and
about ten o'clock was surprised by a knock on my door.
"Come in." It was Tabitha.
"Is everything okay Paul?"
"Yes I was just a bit tired and decided to read in bed for a bit."
"Well if you don't need anything I'll say goodnight." Although she had
left, her perfume still lingered. I tried to ignore it and after reading
for a little longer I settled down to sleep.
The following morning I got up and having finished in the en-suite
returned to the main bed room naked and was shocked to find Tabitha
there. Before I could even think to cover myself up she approached and
hugged me, her lips meeting mine in a passionate kiss. Still holding me
with one arm her other snaked between us and began to stroke my hard
manhood before long causing me to come and could feel the stickiness
between me and her uniform. I broke the kiss and looked in her eyes
wondering why she had done it.
"Paul," she said, "Paul... Paul..." I felt someone shaking my shoulder
as I came to finding Tabitha standing by my bed. It was all a dream
except for the sticky mess that I could feel in my pyjamas. I blushed
bright red remembering my dream as she stood there now. "Time to get up
sleepyhead, breakfast is ready." Fortunately she left allowing me to get
up without exposing the wet patch on my pyjamas. I took a quick shower
trying to come to terms with having had a wet dream about the maid. She
was very attractive but surely I was past wet dreams. I made my bed and
then folded my pyjamas in such a way as to allow them to dry of without
it being seen by anyone entering my room. I went to join them for
breakfast and apart from a smile from Tabitha no mention was made of me
oversleeping.
I spent the morning tweaking the prototype of the system for my aunt and
then showed her how to use it leaving her to play around with it and
come up with any changes she wanted. I left her to it and watched some
athletics program until lunch time. After lunch aunty Amelia asked to
see me. I joined her in the Library.
"I'm very impressed with this program," she said. "It will make
cataloguing all these books much easier than writing out those cards and
very much easier to find a specific book." Aunty then outlined a few
minor tweaks, asking if they were possible which they were. I spent the
rest of the afternoon helping her and realised what a massive job this
was going to be. "I should have done this long ago but I kept on putting
it off."
"Well I can help out with some of the work if you want."
"Would you that would be a help? Oh while I think of it the day after
tomorrow I have to go in to town and will be away all day."
After the evening meal I decided on an early night and to read for a
while. That night I determined to try my hardest to control myself and
think of something or anything to avoid a recurrence apart from anything
else this was my last clean set of underwear. I was in bed just about to
switch the bedroom light off when there was a soft tap at the door and
Tabitha entered and came over to my bedside and as I moved over to give
her more room she got in beside me, her petticoats rustling softly.
"What are..."
She placed a finger over my lips. "Shhh," she said, "poor little Paul
has been having some problems hasn't he? Well I am here to help." That
said I felt her hand slide under the covers gently releasing my penis
which had been hardening since here arrival and I felt her wrap it in
silky folds gently stroking and as I shuddered in release she gently
kissed me on the cheek. As I came down from the high point Tabitha
replaced my now soft organ back in to my pyjamas then left. I was
stunned. It was certainly no dream this time. So confused but relaxed I
drifted off in to a deep peaceful sleep.
The morning came and it was with relief that I found that I was totally
dry but while last night was enjoyable I found it embarrassing. When I
got downstairs for breakfast nothing was said so I just went with it.
I spent most of the day helping aunty catalogue the books in the library
until tea time after which I watched some television before retiring. I
had not seen Tabitha since tea and assumed she had gone for an early
night, when there was a knock on the door. I hurriedly finished putting
on my pyjamas before saying, "Come in."
Tabitha entered. "Paul have you been avoiding me today?"
I wanted to deny it but I couldn't lie to her. "Sort of."
"Because of last night." I nodded not wanting to trust my voice. "I
thought you liked it, I know your little man appeared to. Just like
now," she giggled. It was true everything about her was enticing and I
had the same reaction as last night. Tabitha pulled the covers down and
when I got in and she joined me.
"Tabitha," I began.
"Paul which would you rather have, me here now or a wet patch in your
pyjamas tomorrow?" I pulled her towards me. "I thought so." And so I was
given a pleasure that most boys I knew would give their eye teeth for
before drifting of to a dreamless sleep.
I overslept the next morning but was glad to find I had clean pyjamas
again. Before I could get up Tabitha entered after a brief knock on the
door.
"Morning sleepyhead, better get dressed quickly or you will miss
breakfast, Madam Amelia has already had hers and is getting ready to go
in to town for the day. And it's a lovely day out." She then left me to
get dressed. I donned jeans and a t-shirt before going down and getting
something to eat.
When I arrived down for breakfast Aunty Amelia was just leaving.
"I will see you some time later. Don't worry about meals for me I will
probably eat out."
"Okay ma'am," said Tabitha. We sat in silence with just occasional
smiles from Tabitha. "So what are you planning to do today?"
"Well, as you said, it looks quite nice at the moment so I might go for
a walk."
"Wouldn't you rather help me with the washing?"
"Sorry?" I said confused.
"I'm sure you heard me."
"Yes but why do you want my help, isn't it part of your job?"
"Yes it is what I get paid for and you don't have to help. It's just
that if you disappear I might find it necessary to tell Amelia how I
found two pairs of her frilly panties with yucky boys stains in them."
I gaped at her comment. "But... but," I stammered shocked at her threat.
"But nothing sweetheart. Just help with the washing and I'll show you
how to wash your pretty frilly panties." I wanted to complain but was
afraid that refusing would wreck the rapport I was building between my
aunt and I. I helped Tabitha clear the breakfast things to the kitchen
and as I finished loading the dishwasher I turned to see Tabitha holding
a white pinny. This was not a small flimsy pinny like she usually wore.
This waist pinny was white cotton with flowers embroidered along the
bottom and with a white lace trimmed frill edging the bottom and sides.
"Here pop this on Paul."
"I don't really think I need it."
"Don't be silly, you don't want to mess your trousers up whilst doing
the housework do you?" She obviously wasn't going to take no for an
answer and approached me placing it round my waist turning me round and
tying it into a neat bow at the back. "There, just your size." As she
said this she placed her arms around my waist with her head on my
shoulder. "Of course if you wanted you could wear the complete uniform,
I'm sure I have one that would fit you."
"No thank you," I replied not quite sure where this was going.
"Are you sure? Just think you could wear frilly lacy knickers all day
long then." Her hand moved down to my crotch as she said this causing a
definite twitch. She moved away giggling. "Perhaps another day... we
have all year." From then on it was all business as I started by putting
the sheets in to wash which I did at home on occasions. The next task
was one mum definitely didn't have me do as Tabitha showed me how to
wash the delicate underwear she and aunty obviously wore including the
two pairs that Tabitha had pleasured me with. The idea was that I helped
Tabitha with the wash but I seemed to be doing it for her as she sat
watching me drinking coffee. I did get a cup once I had hung out the
first load of washing and all the underwear and had the second washing
load on.
"You know I am sure you could get a job as a maid with no problem at
all." She laughed as I nearly choked on my coffee at her comment.
"I am hoping to get my A levels and then go to University," I said.
"You could always stay here and help aunty and me, do you really need
qualifications?"
"And what about when mum comes home?"
She smiled. "Just a thought. Still that next lot of washing needs
hanging out." It took another couple of loads and finally everything was
hanging out. There was a breeze but nothing seemed to be drying very
quickly. We fixed lunch and sat down to eat.
"I should apologize Paul, I shouldn't have blackmailed you in to helping
with the washing, it was mean. I was just feeling lonely and with you
saying you were going out well I... I am sorry there was no excuse for
what I did."
"That's okay, I'm used to helping mum, although I've never washed undies
like those before. If you want help in the future you could just try
asking."
"Okay," she said but still seemed concerned.
"Please Tabitha forget it. I offered to help when I arrived but Aunty
said I didn't need to."
"So you forgive me?"
"Of course." I did but even if I had still been a bit annoyed I liked
her too much not to forgive her.
Once lunch was finished I had hoped to get on with some indexing in the
library and told Tabitha.
"Not straight away sweetheart I need some help making the beds, could
you give me a hand?" Having washed all the bedding that morning we had
three beds to make so hopefully it wouldn't take too long. We had
completed Tabitha's bed and mine and were just starting on Aunty
Amelia's when Tabitha let out a shout and pointed out the window and saw
it had started to rain heavily. "Come along we have to get the clothes
off the line," she said dashing out of the bedroom. I followed her and
entered the kitchen as she was putting on a plastic mac pointing to
another she had obviously got out for me. I put it on surprised that
whilst hers was clear mine was translucent pink but we had no time to
discuss it now. We picked up baskets and went out to retrieve the
clothes and by the time we got back the rain was easing off a little but
all the clothes were soaking wet.
"I know that you have a fair amount of rain in Cornwall but I've never
seen it so heavy," I commented.
"Yes it depends on where it comes from. When it's straight off the sea
it is really heavy like that. Still now we need to get it all spun
again." I helped her load the first lot of sheets in the washing
machine. Once they were in we removed our raincoats. "You know you look
quite cute in pink," she teased. I said nothing and just hung it up to
dry. We finished making auntie's bed and went downstairs. "I'll see to
the washing from now on if you want to go to the library, just keep your
pinny on for the moment." I was about to comment when she continued,
"I'm sure some of those books are quite dusty and it's easier to wash a
pinny than it is trousers." She was right, not that I had worn one so
far, so reluctantly I agreed and was rewarded by one of her beautiful
smiles. I must have been working for about an hour when Tabitha entered
the library with a welcome mug of coffee which she placed by the
computer and then sat in the chair next to me.
"So what are you doing exactly?" I spent the next few minutes going
through the system and she picked it all up very easily.
"It's not very complicated but it seems to work for Auntie's
collection."
"Don't be so modest, not everyone could put this together, it looks very
professional and I can see it will be a great help to Amelia." I smiled
slightly then picked up my coffee. Her next question flawed me.
"Paul are you frightened of me?"
"No of course... well maybe a bit."
"Why? There's no need really." I thought about it for a while as I
sipped my coffee.
"Well it's not you exactly it's more a case of being afraid of what I
will do when you're around. I mean you are so attractive, so feminine
and that lovely perfume you wear, I am afraid I'll do something
inappropriate and upset you and Aunty." I looked in to my mug unable to
face her.
"Is that why you had accidents in your pyjamas?"
"I'm sorry I don't understand it, I've not had wet dreams for years and
now I can't seem to stop." I wanted her to leave as I was close to tears
and didn't want her to see me cry. She started to put her arm around me.
"I'm sorry Paul I didn't realise you were so..."
"Inexperienced, na?ve, immature? Take your pick. I've only had two
girlfriends and didn't get further than a second date," I exclaimed
trying to fill her pause. Then I panicked, stood up removed the pinny
and ran out of the room and up to my bedroom as tears began to fall
ignoring the calls from Tabitha. I lay on my bed not able to believe
what I had admitted to Tabitha but as my sobbing slowed I nodded off in
to a deep sleep.
I was awoken by a gentle shaking and came to and saw my aunt looking at
me worriedly. "How do you feel?" aunty asked.
"Ashamed," I answered looking away. My aunt sat on the edge of my bed.
"Paul you have nothing to be ashamed of, certainly not for being young
and inexperienced. Tabitha and I have had a long talk and we realise
that we were not ready for you. Please turn and face me." I turned onto
my back to face her still blushing. "Paul we don't see much of what goes
on outside the village and what we do see is on the television dealing
with how kids are growing up too fast. Tabitha and I enjoy each other's
company and we didn't adjust to your needs." I looked at first shocked
then blushed looking away. She took hold of my chin and gently pulled my
face to look at her. "You have done nothing wrong and I really don't
want it to spoil our relationship." Before I could say anything there
was a knock on the door.
"Can I come in?" called Tabitha. I looked to my aunt expecting her to
answer but she just looked at me with a questioning expression and I
realised the choice was mine.
"Yes please come in." Tabitha arrived with a tray with supper on it. It
wasn't until then that I realised that it was dark outside and that I
must have missed tea. She came round to the bed and as I sat up she
placed the tray on my lap.
For a moment it was awkward until aunty said, "We'll leave you to eat in
peace. Just call us when you have had enough." That said they left. I
realised I was hungry, tucked in to the food and left very little but
was still worried about what I had done and said despite my Aunt's
assurances. About half an hour later there was another knock on the door
and following my 'come in' Tabitha entered the room.
"Have you finished? I can come back later if you want." I could see she
was nervous around me which I didn't want. What had happened wasn't her
fault and I did still like her a lot. I moved the tray on to the bedside
cabinet.
"I have but I need two things from you first if you're willing to give
them to me." I could see she was even more nervous until I said,
"Firstly to see that beautiful smile of yours and secondly to have the
hug I ran away from earlier." Her face lit up with relief and then into
that gorgeous smile as she came over and hugged me.
"Oh Paul I'm so sorry."
"Please no more apologies," I said and hugged her back. As we released I
continued, "Thanks for that and for everything you have done for me
since I arrived."
"Even making in you do the housework?" She grinned.
"Even that. But before you go aunty said you told her everything. Even
about... well those two nights when...."
"Yes I had too otherwise she wouldn't have understood the problems we
were having."
"Does she hate me now for what I did in her knickers?"
"No I don't dear," said a voice from the doorway and I looked up to see
Aunty Amelia standing there. "And Tabitha was just doing what you
needed. It would seem as if you two are friends again."
"Yes I believe we are," said Tabitha and I nodded. "And he can have
cuddles any time he wants," she added causing me to blush yet again and
all of us to giggle.
"Still despite your sleep it is bed time which brings us to another
slight problem." I looked up at her again. "You see that with all the
washing getting soaked again we have not been able to get everything dry
and that includes your pyjamas. Now please don't get upset but we only
have nighties for you to wear." I could see she was apprehensive about
my reaction but I didn't want to spoil what we had achieved tonight.
"Well I'll have to wear one of those then," I said brightly, much to the
relief of them both.
"I'll bring you one as soon as I have taken your tray down." She picked
it up and left and my aunt came over to the bed.
"Thank you for making up with Tabitha she was so worried about what she
did."
"She was only trying to help but I didn't know how to handle it."
"Well we will take everything nice and slow from now on." Aunty left and
about five minutes later Tabitha returned with two bundles in her hand.
"I've brought you a couple to choose from although they are both very
feminine but that's the sort I prefer and I think your aunt's would be
too big on you."
"It's fine Tabitha, thank you for lending them to me."
"That's okay," she said kissed me on the cheek and continued, "see you
in the morning." I picked up the first one which was white cotton
printed all over with little flowers with a lacy collar and the same
lace decorating the hem and elbow length sleeves. I held it up to me and
realized it was mid-thigh length. The second one was in a white satin
like material and was clearly not as long as the other one but it had a
matching pair of panties which covered where necessary. Both parts were
heavily embellished with white lace but I couldn't resist choosing that
one to wear to bed. I put it on and the silky material led to the usual
reactions but I managed to calm down and slipped in to bed. I thought I
would have trouble getting to sleep but slipped off easily after a few
minutes.
"Rise and shine sleepy head," said Tabitha as she pulled back the
curtains revealing a sunny day. I did so and saw her smile as she
noticed what I was wearing. "It's one of my favourites too. And did you
stay dry?" Despite my embarrassment I had to agree that I was which was
a plus. "Breakfast is in about twenty minutes so I suggest a quick
shower and get dressed and we'll see you then." With that she turned and
left the room. I did as she suggested and got to the kitchen just as
Tabitha brought in cooked breakfasts for us all.
"That's looks as good as it smells," I said appreciatively.
"Well don't let it get cold," she replied.
"Not wearing your pinny for breakfast?" Aunty asked with a smile.
"Probably keeping it for doing the housework in later," suggested
Tabitha. They both laughed when they saw my slight discomfort but I knew
they were only teasing so I didn't really mind.
After breakfast I returned to my room and turned on the radio and found
the forecast was for fine weather. I decided to go for a walk and was
just about to leave my room when there was a knock on the door which I
opened to see Tabitha standing there.
"I thought you might want this." I saw she was holding the pinny I had
worn yesterday.
"Thank you," I said, "I was just going out for walk."
"Don't you want to help with the house work again?"
"Not today." She waited. "Alright I don't want Emma and Wendy to see me
in a pinny." They were the two extra maids who helped Tabitha look after
the house. She smiled.
"I understand, enjoy your walk. Wrap up warm it's chilly out there
otherwise I'll have to warm you up when you get back," she joked.
"Maybe I won't bother with a coat then," I laughed, eliciting a smile
for Tabitha, before excusing myself to go out.
With tea over I went up to my room to put a jumper on as with the sun
going down it had got a bit chilly. There was a knock on the door and
Tabitha entered with a pile of clothes in her arms.
"Sorry I can come back later," she said obviously not expecting me to be
there.
"No it's quite alright please come in, I was just getting a jumper." I
looked her in her somewhat skimpy outfit. "How do you stay warm, that's
a very pretty uniform and you look great in it but it doesn't cover
much."
"Well I was born down here and we're hardy folk and my quarters are nice
and snug. If you really like my uniform the offer to try it out is still
open."
"No thank you," I replied but she gave me an odd look probably due to
the lack of conviction in my voice. It was true despite my refusal I had
been wondering what it would be like to wear such an outfit.
"Well if you're sure, just let me know if you change your mind. I have
your pyjamas here but you can keep wearing the nighty if you want. It
certainly seemed to keep you dry," she said as she completed putting my
clothes away in the draws. She then left me with a grin. I put my jumper
on and went and watched some television but there was not much of
interest on so decided to go to bed and read. When I got to my room and
undressed I thought about my pyjamas but seeing the nightie still on my
bed I put that on instead. It felt nice. I read for a while before
settling down falling asleep quite easily - it must be the country air I
thought.
The following morning I got up and after a shower went to get some clean
underwear. Next to my usual pants were the two pairs of frilly knickers
of Aunty Amelia's that I had used. I picked up a pair feeling how silky
smooth they felt and wondered what they would feel like on. I then shook
myself, I was a man and was not going to wear frilly knickers, ignoring
the fact of what I had slept in. I dressed and went down to breakfast
and aunty said that she felt I should see more of what Cornwall had to
offer rather than just the local scenery. She outlined a few places that
she thought would interest me.
The next three days turned out to be great but hectic. So off we went
around some museums and an art gallery, and then some churches and a
cathedral where I found out that Aunty knew a lot about architecture and
allowed me to see the buildings from a totally different and interesting
perspective. Each night we returned happy but tired. It was that third
night that things changed when I went to bed. I had been wearing the
nighty Tabitha lent me but it obviously had been put for washing. I
opened the draw and took out my pyjamas which whilst they weren't rough
they certainly didn't have the same feel of the nighty. I almost went to
see if Tabitha had another I could borrow but realised that I could not
do it. I know it was ridiculous but the last time I had worn these I had
had a wet dream and hoped tonight would not be a repeat. I settled down
after a while and slept soundly without any dreams that I could
remember.
Next morning I awoke to find myself dry which was a relief. Before I
could get up there was a knock at the door and Tabitha came in.
"Oh I see you're awake already. How are you this morning?"
"Dry," I ventured. She giggled.
"I really meant how you felt after three days of outings."
"Oh," I said blushing deeply, "I'm fine thank you, just a bit stiff in
the legs." She came and sat on the edge of the bed and laid her hand on
the covers over my crotch.
"And how is your little man? Not as stiff as your legs obviously," she
commented, giggling as I blushed even further. "You do blush very easily
Paul but I think it's cute. Still I'll leave you to get dressed unless
you want some help?" I so wanted to have her dress me but couldn't admit
it.
"I'll be fine," I managed to get out and she left smiling.
After breakfast aunty and I got back to doing the cataloguing of the
books in the library. It was actually going faster than we expected and
aunty was particularly impressed with the systems ease of use and the
screens and reports that I had created. Tabitha brought in coffee for
all three of us and we took a break and chatted about various things. As
I looked at Tabitha I wondered how it would be like having her getting
me ready for bed but tried to put it out of my mind. Apart from not
being able to ask her I was not sure if I could control, as Tabitha put
it, my little man and hence put her off. We broke for lunch during which
Aunty gave me some strange looks. I didn't think that I was doing
anything wrong but was afraid to ask with Tabitha there and decided to
ask once aunty and I were back in the library. Lunch over and with
Tabitha off to the kitchen and Aunty and I back in the library I decided
to take the bull by the horns.
"Aunty have I done something wrong only if I have can I put it right?"
"You haven't done anything wrong that I know of. What makes you think
you have?"
"I'm sorry it's just the looks you gave me over lunch." I don't know
what I expected my aunts reply to be but it certainly wasn't what I
would have guessed at.
"Tabitha is beautiful isn't she?" Although I was a bit thrown I felt I
ought to reply and without thinking I said
"She is very pretty and in that outfit every boys..." I stopped
realising what I was about to say.
"Wet dream?" asked aunty with a huge smile causing me to go bright red.
I opened my mouth a couple of times but only managed a "sorry aunty."
She took the seat next to mine and took my hands in hers.
"Look Paul there is nothing wrong with those feelings and both Tabitha
and I know those accidents were unavoidable and we are both still fond
of you. So what else is worrying you?"
"Nothing aunty." She merely raised her eyebrows. I didn't know how to
say what I wanted.
"You want her to pamper you, is that it?" It was phrased as a question
but sounded more like a statement. "Well just ask she won't bite, unless
you want her to," she giggled.
"What if she says no, I wouldn't be able to face her after that?"
"Well you must just ask her because I won't do it for you." Nothing more
was said and we continued with the cataloguing the books. I tried to see
Tabitha alone but she always seemed busy and eventually tea came and
went. After watching a little television with aunty I decided to have a
shower and go to bed. I had just entered my room when there was a knock
on the door which I opened to see Tabitha standing there with a white
bundle in her hand.
"I was just wondering if you wanted to wear this again, I must admit you
looked cute in it." I paused knowing what I wanted to ask but lacking
the courage. "Yes or no will do."
"Of course sorry, yes I would like to but..."
"Yes?"
"Could you get me ready for bed and dress me in it?"
"Thank goodness for that," she said her giggling changing to laughter
when she saw my puzzlement. "I thought you were going to bed frustrated
again and me wondering if I was ever going to get to pamper you like you
deserve." It was a relief but I went on
"I was just going to have a shower so if I call you after that."
"That won't do. I will run you a nice bath as that will be more
relaxing. Just sit here on the bed and I'll be back in a minute." She
disappeared into my en-suite and I could hear the bath running. When it
finished she returned and approached me. "Just relax and let me do
everything." She slowly began to undress me running her hands over my
body as she did so until I was just down to my underpants showing a
noticeable tent. Tabitha just smiled as she removed them and ran her
soft warm hands over my tool. "Come along." Taking my hand she led me in
to the en-suite where I saw the bath sporting what was obviously bubble
bath. "Not a word, remember just relax and enjoy it, I'm doing
everything." I followed her instructions and sank into the bath. Tabitha
donned a plastic apron to protect herself and picking up a soft sponge
began to wash me all over. It was an amazing feeling even more so when
she paid special attention to washing between my legs. Having completed
washing my body she did my hair. It was a very sensuous experience as
she massaged my head whilst rubbing in the shampoo in to my longish
hair.
Once complete she got me out of the bath and dried me in a large fluffy
bath towel till I was dry then dusted me with talc that wasn't mine
being slightly flowery but I just let her do it. She led me back to the
bedroom and proceeded to dress me in the white baby doll nightdress with
its matching panties caressing my body as she did so. Her attention did
not go un-noticed and I began to harden as she led me to the bed turning
down the covers. Whilst I got in Tabitha went to my chest of draws
returning and getting in beside me and cuddling up to me.
"Thank you so much that was fantastic," I said meaning every word.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it. Next time don't take so long to ask."
"I was frightened of upsetting you."
"But I kept offering, even this morning."
"I so wanted to say yes but I couldn't get up the courage."
"Because of this?" she asked. I just nodded. "This is perfectly natural
and actually a bit of a compliment that you find me attractive. Well
there is no excuse in the future if you want to be pampered. Now it's
about time you were snuggling down but I don't think your little man
knows it." I felt her handle me through the panties and I was very near
to exploding. She then released it from the panties before covering it
by the panties she had used before and just retrieved from my draw. As
she stroked me she said, "Can I ask you a favour?"
"Of course," I said somewhat breathless.
"Tomorrow morning will you wear the other pair of the knickers your aunt
gave you?"
"Yes," was all I could manage as she brought me to a massive climax
continuing until I went soft.
"Paul, do you still agree to wear your aunt's knickers tomorrow?"
"I said I would and I will, why wouldn't I?"
"I wanted to know that it wasn't just the climax talking. Still I should
be going, just remember if you want anything just ask." She got out of
bed kissed me on the lips before leaving with a smile. I was a bit
surprised as most of the time she had only given a peck on the cheek.
Not that I was complaining.
I awoke early the next morning and got up had a shower and shave before
returning to get dressed. I selected a t-shirt and jeans before going to
my draw for my underwear. I looked at the frilly knickers and noticed
that the yellow pair were gone just leaving the pink pair. I pulled them
on as I had promised Tabitha and started to get firm as I pulled them
into place feeling the silky material caress my lower body. I was
surprised that they fit as Tabitha had indicated that she thought my
aunt's clothes would be too big for me. I managed to calm down as I
completed getting dressed when Tabitha knocked on the door and came in.
"Up already I see, couldn't wait any longer to wear your frilly
knickers," she joked with a smile. "You are wearing them I hope."
"Yes I am, I did promise to."
She hugged me and then I felt her hand down the back of my trousers
running it over the rows of frills covering the seat of the knickers.
"Thank you," she said removing her hand, "breakfast in ten minutes." She
left leaving me somewhat stunned at her action but merely tucked myself
in again and made my way down to the kitchen where we usually had
breakfast. The new relaxed eating arrangements made this visit a lot
less hassle than the strict requirements Uncle Patrick imposed last time
I stayed. When Amelia arrived she smiled at me.
"I hear you got pampered last night, it was enjoyable wasn't it?"
"Yes aunty it was very nice," I said with a slightly embarrassed smile.
"Well actually it was a lot better than very nice it was fantastic, I've
never had such an experience."
"We can do it again sometime you know," said Tabitha grinning at aunty.
With breakfast over my aunt and I headed for the library. As I entered
my aunt ran her hand lightly over my backside, said nothing but left me
with the feeling that she knew what I was wearing.
The next few days my aunt and I continued in the library and worked out
a system that allowed us to get a good portion of the library
catalogued. "At this rate we should have it all done in a couple of
months," commented Aunty Amelia at lunch, "your program is such a help
Paul."
"No problem aunty, I was glad I could help. After all you were kind
enough to put me up."
"That's our pleasure Paul, isn't that right Tabitha?"
"It certainly is." Tabitha had brought us in some coffee moments before.
She smiled that gorgeous smile of hers leaving me feeling warm inside.
That night when I went to bed I found another nightdress on my bed which
was similar in style and femininity to the white one but this one was
pink.
There was a note on the top which said, "Paul I took your nighty as I
had to wash it and am lending you this one. If you prefer not to wear it
just leave it folded on top of your chest of draws and will get it
tomorrow, I won't be offended.
Tabitha."
It certainly was pretty and I had worn the other one a few times. As I
thought this I realised what Tabitha had written 'your nighty'. Well I
suppose it was, it had appeared back in my draw after it had been washed
previously. In the end I put pyjamas on but put the nighty in the draw.
I felt I needed time to think about things I had been wearing.
It was a couple of weeks later when I had come to a decision and went up
to my room slightly early and put on my pyjamas. I sat on the bed hoping
that Tabitha would check before she went to bed which she did.
"All ready for bed already then. Paul I see you're wearing your pyjamas,
if you don't want the pink nighty I can take it back."
"Tabitha the nighty is fine but I do have a favour to ask."
"Paul of course," she said.
"You don't know what it is yet." I had considered what I was going to
say over and over again but it still wasn't easy. "You see you have been
very nice to me over the last few months and I feel that it has all been
one way. Please let me finish or I may not get the courage again." I
went on quickly as I realised she was going to speak. "What I need, no,
what I would like is to repay your affection but I don't know how. Will
you teach me how to please a woman? To please you." If I had blushed
before it was nothing to what I did then. Tabitha said nothing and I
knew I had made a huge error. "I'm so sorry I should never have asked. I
really am sorry, please forgive me. I'm just a stupid na?ve virgin why
would you want to do anything like that." I turned over in bed, tears
already starting to fall.
"Paul," said Tabitha grabbing me and turning me round to face her,
"you're not stupid and being na?ve and a virgin is nothing to be ashamed
about. I am not upset just a little surprised and flattered that you
want to do that for me or is that with me."
"You mean..."
"Yes Paul I will teach you. I'm sorry I reacted like I did but of all
the questions I thought you would ask that one never crossed my mind."
"I want to please you as much as you have me." She hugged me and kissed
me on the lips.
"It's a bit late tonight but if we have an early night tomorrow we can
make a start. Okay?"
"Yes and thank you." She kissed me once more and then left. The next day
I got up and dressed as normal. I tried to concentrate on cataloguing
the books but with little success and after lunch aunty excused me and
suggested as it was such a nice day that I went for a walk. I took her
advice as I was awkward and blushed every time I met Tabitha. I ended up
being out for nearly three hours and arrived with only just enough time
to take a shower and put on some clean clothes before tea. After the
meal I decided to read. It was when I realised, as I read the same page
for the third time, that I was not concentrating on the book but
thinking of what was going to happen and ended up putting the book down.
"Dear, why don't you go up?" said my aunt. "I am sure Tabitha will be
ready for you." I realised she knew what I had asked Tabitha and blushed
deeply. "Don't be embarrassed I know you feel inexperienced but asking
for help shows a maturity I thought you might never attain last time you
were here. Many young men like you might just try something on and mess
up the relationship."
"Aunty, do you mind that Tabitha and I... well I know you and her..."
She got up and came and sat next to me on the settee.
"Paul, Tabitha and I have had a relationship but there was only the two
of us. Tabitha deserves someone more her own age and male." I gave her a
hug and went to my room.
On the bed were laid out my pyjamas and the pink baby doll nighty and
panties. A brief note said, 'I don't mind which you wear but I think you
know which I would prefer. Come to my room when you are ready. T.'
I had already considered wearing a nighty and after a quick shower
dressed in the outfit trying to persuade myself to relax and stop
tenting out the knickers. I donned my dressing gown and slippers then
went along to Tabitha's room. Well suite would be more appropriate as in
addition to a large bedroom with en-suite she also had a lounge section
with tea making facilities and a small fridge, all this I only found out
that evening. It took three goes before I could actually knock and
Tabitha opened the door with that beautiful smile of hers.
I went in and Tabitha closed the door behind me. I lost my resolve to
stay soft but as she stood next to me dressed in a matching baby doll
night dress set with matching neglig?e and smelling of her wonderful
perfume but she didn't seem to care. She led me over to her settee and
we sat down next to each other.
"I take it from your bare legs that you are also in a baby doll nightie,
the one I put out for you." I nodded and she undid my dressing gown to
reveal a significant bulge in the bottom of the nighty, she giggled. "I
better take care of that first if I am to get your full attention."
That night I learned a lot about myself but as Tabitha said 'if I did
not know my own body, how could I use it to please her.'
I awoke the next morning feeling wonderful if a bit tired. It was early
as Tabitha was still in bed beside me and I was entranced just watching
her sleeping. I carefully got up and knowing it was near the time she
normally got up and made us each a mug of coffee and took it back in to
her bedroom.
"Morning sleepy head, are you going to sleep all day?" I said teasing
her. She turned over and looked pleased to see the coffee and sat up in
bed so I could hand it to her.
We got up together and I helped her get breakfast. I didn't see much of
her for the rest of the day except at meals but that night I learnt how
to please a woman or at least Tabitha.
I awoke on that second morning feeling refreshed and heard a giggle.
"I was beginning to think that you were going to sleep all day," said
Tabitha. I looked over and saw she was sitting on the bed in her maid's
outfit looking as cute and fresh as usual.
"Sorry, I'll get up now."
"Breakfast is on the table in the kitchen. Come down now or it will get
cold." I pulled on my dressing gown and went down to the kitchen where
Tabitha served me a very welcome cooked breakfast. "Your aunt has gone
out for the day and won't be back until this evening so you've got the
day to yourself."
"Yes aunty mentioned she would be gone. But what about you, don't you
ever get any free time?"
"Of course I do take the last couple of nights," she grinned.
"I hope they weren't too..."
"Stop it," she interrupted, "you're apologising again." I just stopped
myself from saying sorry for apologising which made her laugh. "What we
had over the last two nights was very special and I still feel special
that you asked me and yes you made me very happy."
"I hope you didn't mind not going all the way."
"Of course not, I think it's special that you want to save yourself for
the lucky young lady you marry. And believe me even without it, as I
said, you pleased me and made me feel very special."
"I'm glad because you are special." For only the second time since I
arrived I saw her blush.
It took just over two further weeks for aunty and I to complete the
indexing of the main library. Aunty said she had some other books stored
but decided we could leave them for a while. It then occurred to me that
I didn't know why aunt had wanted to catalogue them all, so I asked.
"Well whilst it will be useful to be able to locate a specific book I
have been wondering if any of these are worth anything. I rarely ever
touch them, as you can probably tell from the dustiness, they were
mainly Uncle Patrick's interest. With your listing I can get a rough
valuation for them."
"Are you having money problems aunty? Can I help?"
"No dear but that's very sweet to offer. It is just that I would rather
see them being sold to someone who appreciates them rather than just
stuck in here gathering more dust. Also with them gone there will be
less to pay in inheritance tax."
"You've got years to go before that aunty."
"Flatterer," she laughed. With my help aunty produced a report that we
sent off to a local auctioneers for an evaluation.
I got up late and went down to breakfast after donning my dressing gown.
As I finished eating and Tabitha sat with me drinking a cup of tea.
"I expect you have house work to do today?" I said.
"Yes, some. Why?"
"Well it's just..." She came around and sat in the chair next to mine
and put her arm around me.
"Paul if you have something to ask just do it. I won't get cross or
upset. If I don't want to do it I won't, so out with it."
"Could I... could I try on one of your uniforms?" I blushed heavily as I
finally voiced what I had been thinking of for the past week and looked
away from her. She tilted my head up so that she could look me in the
eye.
"Of course you can dear. I offered earlier and I meant it. Of course I
may make you help with the house work."
"Of course I'll help."
"I was joking Paul," she laughed.
"I wasn't," I said without grinning so that she would know I was
serious.
"Okay let's get you properly dressed." We left the kitchen and entered
her suite and bedroom where Tabitha opened up her wardrobe. To one side
were her uniforms all hung up neatly, four black dresses and one bright
pink one. "Well?"
"Could I wear the pink one?" I asked tentatively.
"Want to be a sweet and girly maid do we? Well if you ask nicely." I
nodded. "No," she said, "I said you have to ask nicely." I took a deep
breath.
"Please Miss Tabitha can I please wear your pretty pink maid's dress and
help you with the house work today?"
"Yes of course you can and that was a very nice offer."
"I'll go and take a shower first."
"No you won't." I looked surprised. "If you're going to wear a maid's
dress for the first time you need to have a bath, come on." She
disappeared into her bathroom. I stripped off down to the panties I had
worn the night before and entered to see her bath filling with water and
bubbles but said nothing as I felt I owed her so much already. When she
turned of the water I got in and to my surprise and pleasure Tabitha
helped me get clean including washing my hair. I finally got out and as
I dried myself Tabitha said she had to get my outfit sorted.
"Have you got lost?" she called as I completed drying myself. I was
about to wrap the towel around me when I realised she had seen
everything I had and returned to her bedroom naked.
"At last."
"I got dried as quickly as I could."
"No, I meant at last you feel you can approach me without hiding
anything." It was said kindly but still made me blush and her giggle.
"Well it's all laid out on the bed and I'll see you downstairs when
you're dressed. Just don't take too long, I'd help but time is getting
on and there are things I need to do now."
With that said she was gone. I approached the bed and was surprised to
see a bra among the items; I picked it up to find it had a fair bit of
padding. Still it was very pretty in pink nylon with lace edging the
cups and straps and quickly slid it up my arms then struggled to do it
up and finally managing it. The camisole matched the bra and slipped on
easily. Then I saw the knickers. They were bright pink nylon with white
lace frills across the seat and around the leg holes. I slid them on and
had some difficulty controlling myself. I strapped the pink suspender
belt around my waist noting the pink ribbon bows on the straps as I
pushed them under my knickers before fastening them to the stockings
which I pulled on next. That took a little time as I was determined to
get my seams straight. Next came the ultra-frilly multi layered waist
slip that pulled in to place around me, fluffing it out so it lay
correctly. Then came the bright pink dress that I lowered over my head
and pushed my arms through the puffed sleeves and the pulled it into
place. I was struggling to do the zip up when Tabitha returned.
"Here let me do that," and proceeded to zip it up to the top. Up until
then I had not realised that unlike the dresses Tabitha usually wore
this one covered me up to the high neck where the lace trimming tickled
slightly. Tabitha helped me complete the outfit, pinning a maid's cap to
my hair, putting shoes on my feet that I could no longer see and then
producing a full and very frilly pinny with frills all round including
the shoulder straps completing the outfit and tying the ties into a
large bow at the back.
I walked over to the mirror and stared at my reflection. "How do you
feel?" asked Tabitha as I just stared.
"Special, does that sound silly?"
"Not at all, now you know why I like to wear them all the time."
"But it's not right, I'm a man I shouldn't like this," I said indicating
the uniform.
"Now that is just silly. If you like it why shouldn't you wear it? I
don't mind in fact I think you look cute in it so stop worrying."
"But Tabitha I've not seen you wear this one before."
"I tend to keep it for very special occasions."
"Don't you mind me wearing it then?"
"What's more special than your first time dressed as a maid? Still come
over to the vanity and I'll do your make up." The look on my face told
her something was wrong. "What's the matter?"
"I don't want to wear makeup."
"But I'll make you very pretty."
"But I don't want to be a girl I just wanted to try on your pretty
outfit. I know it's stupid I should never have mentioned it." I went to
remove the pinny when Tabitha hugged me tight.
"I'm sorry I assumed you wanted to go all the way. You're not stupid and
I know I should have asked. Please don't get changed. You don't have to
do any house work. Please?" We hugged a little longer then drew apart
and read my mind as she kissed me which I needed. I took her hand and
led her from the room.
"Let's get on, the sooner we start the sooner we will be finished." As
it happened the work was fairly light and by mid-afternoon we had
completed it and sat down to a well-earned coffee in the kitchen.
"So what do you fancy for tea tonight?"
"Steak and chips."
"Oh I don't think we have that in."
"It doesn't matter I have booked a table at The Randolph." Which was a
local up-market restaurant. I could see she was hurt but trying to hide
it but before she could say anything I added I took her hand and said,
"For two. My treat as a thank you." I was rewarded with her beautiful
smile.
"You don't have to Paul."
"I know but I want to. I want you to know how much I appreciate
everything you have done for me."
"It's been my pleasure, really. I must admit that when Amelia told me
about your last visit I was a bit worried about trying to cope with a
sixteen year old brat with attitude." I burst out laughing.
"I could see that that wasn't appealing."
"Instead we got a mature sixteen year old who considers others before
himself." I blushed. "Still you say you've booked a table at Randolph's.
Do you want to change or shall we go as we are?" When I stopped choking
over the coffee I had just taken a drink of and she stopped laughing I
told her that I was going to change and she could wear what she liked.
I had booked the table for eight and by half seven was down in the
lounge smartly dressed even to the point of putting on a suit and tie.
Then Tabitha walked in. I was speechless as she looked stunning in a
calf length red silk dress which clung to her curves but remained

"I don't know how you do it every morning." Tabitha just laughed and
left me to get up. I had a quick shower, donned some clothes and went
down to the kitchen. Tabitha plonked a large cooked breakfast down in
front of me before disappearing off. Aunty Amelia was seated drinking a

"Sleep well?" she asked with a big grin.
"I was dead to the world."
"I wanted to say that it was a really nice thing you did for Tabitha
