10th Day "Proper Training"
I was just in time outside Madame's room with her breakfast dish, clean and shaven, when she rang the bell. Wishing that I hadn't forgotten anything, I knocked at the door and entered her room.
- Good morning Madame, I quietly said and placed the dish on her bed, assuming my kneeling position. She totally ignored me; she was talking on the phone with someone.
- All right Kate, let's give it a try...
- Today? No need to be so impatient, I think ...
- OK, after all you're paying...
- what's her name again? ...
- Ten o'clock? Right, I'll be here to meet her. Don't forget lunch at "Granny's". See you there ...
Somehow I had a feeling that I was to be involved in this phone. But I didn't know how. I stood there quiet kneeling by the bed, waiting orders. Madame finished her breakfast without talking. Strange, I thought. She seemed in a good mood. Is there a storm coming? Finally she noticed my presence.
- Kate took it really seriously with your training. She's investing on you, slave. She's sending an instructor to train you properly. She'll be here in an hour, she added, carefully watching my reactions.
I tried not to show anything, although I was taken by surprise. An instructor? What kind of instructor? The game is turning serious now. 'Come on' I said to myself. It got serious the very moment you met this woman. How more serious can it be? Properly trained? What do they mean by that? Something was going wrong here and I was about to be an important part of it.
- I'm only here to obey, Madame! I carefully whispered.
- Indeed you are, she remarked meaningfully. Let's get going, not much time left.
As usual, I was in place to receive Madame's feet on my hands when she sat up. I gave her the usual morning worship, softly kissing her toes, while she spread them to ease the night dumbness.
-No need to help me dress. Go down and make sure everything is in order, before she comes, she ordered pushing me away with her feet.
- Your wish is my command Madame!
I put her slippers on, took the dish and rushed downstairs. I made some more coffee and prepared some orange juice, just in case. I cleaned the morning mess. I was still wearing a kitchen apron when the door bell rang. I took it off an rushed to the door. Madame was already sitting in the living room, on her favorite sofa.
I opened the door. A young woman was standing in front of me in her late twenties, carrying a small suitcase. She looked at me, almost piercing me with her stare. I felt like she was examining me with a natural X-ray system.
-Good morning ... I stumbled.
- Is Miss Smith in? she asked in a perfectly cold voice.
- Is she expecting you? I managed to ask.
- I do hope so! She added impatiently.
- Do come in Miss ...
She almost pushed me away, entering the house. I helped her with her coat, revealing a well proportioned body dressed in a black leather mini skirt.
- Good morning Miss Smith. I'm Jennifer, Jennifer Stanton. Your sister said you'd be waiting.
- Ah, yes, good morning Jennifer. Please sit down. Would you care for some coffee?
- No thank you. I just had some at home. Is he ... she turned her head staring at me.
- Yes he is, Madame said. I almost felt a sense of pride in her voice.
- Can we talk in private? She asked
- Of course! Chris, go upstairs and make my bedroom. Take your time. I call you when I need you.
- Certainly Madame! I quietly disappeared and went upstairs to make her room.
I was really worried now. What was going on? What was going to happen to me? Why all this mysticism? I felt that the ground was slowly giving up on me. I had this feeling before, but I was so confused, I couldn't remember. Maybe I was just beginning to realize the implications of my decision to become Madame's devoted slave. And it hurt. I felt so insecure! What was to become of me? Yes I was frightened. Somehow I was receiving the side effects of my life's decision. I was scared...
I couldn't tell how much time passed before I heard Madame calling. Trying to put myself together, I rushed downstairs and stood by her, keeping my head down.
- Yes Madame? I whispered.
- Jennifer here will be your instructor for a few days. She's a professional trainer, as she explained. She'll be coming for a couple of hours every morning to help you become better. No need to say that you are to OBEY EVERYTHING SHE ORDERS. She stressed her last words really carefully.
- Certainly Madame! I managed to say. Miss Jennifer didn't say a word, but I could feel she was examining me closely, with her X-ray look. I could sense her cold stare all over me.
- OK then. I'm off. I'll be back in the afternoon. Don't disappoint me! She said and stood up.
I knelt down at her feet and repeatedly kissed the tips of her shoes.
- Your Wish is my command!
- Nice shoes. Jennifer remarked. May I see them?
- Certainly dear, Madame said and went closer.
Miss Jennifer looked at Madame's shoes. She then took out a paper tissue out her bag and handed it over to me.
- Clean the tips! She said.
Using the tissue I carefully cleaned Madame's shoes, while she waited standing. I was really confused now. Madame's shoes were clean. I always made sure of that. What was going on?
- No kiss for now! Miss Jennifer told me when I finished.
- See you tomorrow Jennifer, Madame said, a bit puzzled herself.
- See you Sam, Jennifer added.
- You can reach me on my cellular, if needed. Bye!
Soon Madame was gone and I was left there, still kneeling on the floor, holding the paper tissue. I heard something opening, but wouldn't dare to look up. Then a pair of black leather boots came close to my face. She pulled my face up using a stick. I could see her face looking down at me, showing no emotion whatsoever. I just realized that she was holding a small riding crop.
- Look now, she finally spoke in a perfectly balanced voice.
I don't care what you think of your owner, or even what you think of me. I have nothing against you. My job is to teach you to become better for your owner's sake.
It was funny the way she spoke of me as being someone's property. It took me by surprise. But after all isn't that's all about? Yes. But still, coming from a stranger, it really hurt my pride, or at least what's left of it. She carefully addressed Madame as my owner. Maybe she was really a professional in her own way.
- Whatever you say, Miss Jennifer! I managed to say.
- Your job here, she started, is to keep your owner satisfied, in any way she likes. And my job is to make sure that you know how to do it! You'll learn to do things my way, just because I say so. Don't bother asking why, probably you wouldn't understand, and even if you did, it wouldn't help you anyway. With my guidance you'll become a useful asset to your owner.
She started pacing back and forth, the crop still in her hands.
