We all have problems with our washing machines. Out of all household appliances it is the most vulnerable machine to go on the blink. Saying that, my old machine was ten years old before it gave up the ghost.
I let my fingers do the walking through the local town directory and came up with a young guy because his advertisement sounded honest and to the point and he professed to be cheap. The old saying, 'You get nowt for nowt.' was one which I did not take heed of.
Any way, Lex answered my cry for help.
'I have called about your washing machine, Madam!'
'Oh! Yes! Come in. It's in the kitchen! Come this way.'
To a woman of 58, every young man is good looking. Lex was as ugly as sin, but to me he was my St Lancelot. When I knew he was coming, I had thrown off my old pinny, changed my dress to a daring button up the front red and white floral print. I was even wearing silk underwear and stockings and suspender belt! I hadn't dressed up like this since the last time I went to the doctors for an internal! If I remember right I cleaned my teeth three times, just in case he looked in there too. We women are funny, are we not?
Well, when your hubby has been poorly for three years with some unknown incurable disease you don't look after yourself the same. A visitor to my house - my sanctuary, was a Royal occasion for me. Amazingly throughout the years I had kept my figure. Still slipped easily into a size 12 dress, My 34c breasts were still quite shapely as I had never had any children to punish them. At 5ft.8inches tall I carried myself well and I had never been really ill-sick in my whole life. Although, before I married Randolph, I was known as the, Wild One!
Enough of that, I showed Lex through to the kitchen, spun round half way along the passage and caught him staring at my ass. "Good Lord! The lady still had it!" I thought dryly to myself. In the good old days gone by I might have had it! Those were the day when Rosemary used to get wolf whistles galore. That's me folks. The lady was a tart too. I started to roll my bum along the passage, can you believe that? Hands up! Which of you ladies reading this would walk like a tart in front of a guy you had just met? Keep your hands up, I haven't counted you all yet!
He pulled out the machine and I was mortified at the amount of muck behind it, even a pair of knickers I had lost several years back which I had accused my husband, Randolph for nicking them for his private use. We won't go into that just now, but I did think he was a knickers nickerer for ages afterwards until one day he came back from the shops with a pack of six to shut me up. Wasn't fussy for them, they were floral and I like self-coloured. They were too thick too. Made my pussy itch something awful!
Anyway, Lex picked them up and with a cheeky grin on his face.
'These yours, Madam?'
'Well! They are no one else's.'
I threw them into the waste bin nonchalantly. I could always get them out again after he had gone. I made a cup of tea while he took the back off the machine. He chatted away about this and that and I decided he was a nice lad. Clean and honest. Of course I was lively and chatty back and I suddenly realised he was chatting me up! The more he teased me, the more he had me blushing. Rosemary, the old has-been! He was actually chatting me up, for what? He didn't fancy me, did he?! It's unbelievable! I could have swore my breasts were swelling! The way he was staring at them, he believed they were! My nipples felt like beach pebbles.
'Finally, when he pulled his head of blonde hair and blue eyes out of the innards of the machine he said, 'I am sorry madam, your machine is kaput! The main motor has gone. The drum bearings are worn out. The mounting bearings have worn out too. I could sell you a more up-to-date second hand machine with a years guarantee for less than the price to fix your machine. Plus the fact that this one is unfixable as they do not make this type any more and what spares there are available would cost you an arm and a pretty leg.' he had me blushing again when his deep blues eyes travelled up and down from my house slippers up to my reddening bosoms.
'What do I do then? My name is Rosemary, not Madam.'
'Pleased to meet you, Rosemary. Mines Lex, not - Hey! You!. You can come down to my shop and see the machines I have to sell. If you come with me now! I can have the new machine installed by this evening and I could get this one dumped for you.'
'Would you do that? I would be ever so grateful! Yes I will come with you. Just let me go to the loo first.'
I sat on the loo, feeling as excited as a school girl. Lex had been chatting me up and my knickers had actually got wet! I was going to change them and decided against it. Some men including my husband in his younger loving days loved my knickers crotch to be wet and smelly. Very often he would go down to bended knee and kiss me through them and gently inch them down over my thighs - which always made me petulantly pussy proud in an aggressive sort of way. Talking about Randolph, he was away just now in a hospice for a week to give me chance of a respite from looking after him 24/7as I was his registered carer.
Lex was standing at the bottom of the stairs when I came down and he brazenly looked up the skirt of my dress. I actually felt myself blushing again! A woman of fifty-eight blushing! He was lining me up! The very thought was making me feel randy. I was almost old enough to be his Granny!
Randolph has told me many times to go out on the town and get myself a man and that he wouldn't mind me bringing him home. He said he was aware of my needs. I had never taken him up on his offer.
