'I don't know, Lucy. Christmas isn't really a thing for us.'
'Who's us?' Lucy asked. 'You told me you're the least devout Muslim you know. Anyway, of all the things that are weird about this idea, you're going to try and tell me your religion is the main one? I've seen you drink.'
Sameena chuckled at that. 'Rarely. Alright. You're not wrong about that.'
'I rarely am. So, what do you say?'
'You're sure there'll be enough stuff for it to be worthwhile?'
'If it's anything like my parents' house, there'll be piles of the stuff. Besides, even if it doesn't work out at least you'll be getting overtime.'
'What's in it for you?' Sam asked, a slight hint of wariness in her voice. 'Will I find out you've been watching on CCTV or something?'
'Ha! I wish. No, nothing like that. Just consider it my Christmas present to you -- some festive charity.'
'It has been a while since I got out and about.'
'Exactly! Trust me, you're going to love it.'
'Alright, alright. I'll do it. Tell Frank I'll be there.'
'Awesome. You won't regret it, I promise.'
Sam replied calmly and bid Lucy farewell. She hung up the phone, but her stomach was dancing with nervous excitement. Christmas was two days away. Most of the country was excited to spend time with family, open presents and get pissed. Sam, thanks to Lucy, couldn't wait to go to work.
Sameena's work uniform was about as dull and dowdy as you might expect of a cleaner's but pulling her stockings up gave her a little thrill. She smiled as the memory of her first steps into being a messy slut played out in her mind. She could practically feel the weird mixture of slop on the Sploshwood Studio floor seeping through the flimsy nylon, even now. The sensation was so vivid in her memory that she had to glance down to make sure she was imagining it.
Getting dressed for a public messing had become somewhat ritualistic by now. She looked at herself in the mirror, noting how her white mesh knickers stood out against her skin. Normally Sam wore a thong, but she needed space to fill today. Her bra matched, of course. It was important that the clothing she was going to ruin was worth ruining, like how the most satisfying sandcastles to kick are the ones that someone clearly spent a lot of time on. Besides, this one pushed her tits up and made them look even better than they already did.
It was a crying shame to cover them up, she thought, pulling her company-branded polo shirt over her head. Maroon in colour, and exceptionally unflattering, it almost managed to hide her curves but not quite. That was an impossible task.
Finally, she pulled on a plain black skirt and that was that: time for another day on the job. Still, Sam couldn't stop thinking about what Lucy had set-up for her. Nothing about cleaning up after someone else's dinner would have excited a normal person, but Sameena had long since accepted that she wasn't a normal person.
And, to be fair, it wasn't the cleaning up she was looking forward to.
Freshly dressed and made up, Sam grabbed a couple of slices of toast and headed out. She'd never been to Spurtley Hall, but knew exactly where it was, having driven past it hundreds of times. She pulled into the car park, checked her make-up in the mirror -- she wouldn't bother with this on a normal day, but this was no normal day -- and stepped out into the frosty chill of late December.
It was dark. Sam could see her breath in the street lights that were dotted about the car park. Through the large, misted-up windows, she could also see that the party was winding down. The buffet was in ruin, half-empty glasses were discarded all over the place, and only a handful of people remained. Indeed, Sam smiled politely and several inebriated revellers who stumbled past her when she reached the front door. Some of the more sober ones looked her up and down, which she might have taken as a compliment in other circumstances, if the party-goers -- or party-leavers, in this case -- hadn't all been twice her age.
Instead, Sam maintained a polite but chilly smile, held the door open for another pair of rich old men, and eagerly stepped inside.
The difference in temperature was noticeable immediately, and Sam felt her whole body relax as though she were luxuriating in a bath. She glanced around, found the reception desk and strode towards it. 'Sameena,' she said to the warmly-smiling woman behind the desk. 'I'm here to clean up.'
'Perfect,' the woman replied. 'Well, they're nearly all out now. You can wait here if you like or you can get started if you don't mind a bit of an audience. They won't see much, the state they're in.'
