The old man sat in his lounger on the deck and watched her as she toiled in her garden. She loved her garden not only for the oriental vegetables it produced, but because she loved the feel of the earth and making things grow. She was very good at it and it gave her great pleasure.
Even though she was 100 feet away, every time she bent over, the old man felt a tingle between his legs. It was a familiar feeling and one he had experienced many times over the last 40 years. He was still deeply in love with her. He prayed every day that god would take him before her because he knew he couldn't live without her.
His thoughts drifted back to a time over 40 years ago when he had first met her. He had applied for a maid from the labor list at Clark AB in the Philippines, wanting to get reliable, honest help. When he first saw her, he knew he had to have her working for him.
"Her name is Norma. She doesn't speak much English," the labor manager said.
"So what?" he replied. "I want her to work, not talk."
So the deal was struck. Ed was amazed at how low the wages were for live-in help. It would only cost $20.00 a month for full time service with only 2 days off each month.
She was extremely happy when he informed her that she was hired. He told her to pack up her things and move in today!
They got to his house in Balibago late in the afternoon. It was the biggest house she had ever been in. She had heard about such houses but had never actually seen one. The house really wasn't very large by western standards, 3 bedrooms, maid's quarters and the standard plumbing and social accoutrements.
Her room, the maids quarters, was larger than most of the houses she had been in. She couldn't believe her good fortune! And her wages were very high for inexperienced labor. Wow!! She whirled around her room placing her things in the proper places. The only English she knew was 'yes' and 'maybe'.
Ed chuckled as he remembered how that had cut down on their argument factor. Life was good.
Two weeks went by and Norma proved to be a capable, hard working little dynamo. It was time for her first day off. She spent it with her friends in downtown Angeles. They were astonished at her good fortune.
One evening about a week later, she was puttering around the house. Ed was relaxing in the living room and going over some technical reports. He looked up just in time to see her bending over. Her short skirt rode up her tiny butt and he got a glimpse of her panties. She was only 4' 10" and about 86 pounds. She had an aura about her like an angel. She almost looked like a child, but Ed knew from her registration papers she was 18.
He hadn't really noticed her before, but now he got a tingle between his legs that he knew spelled trouble. He had traveled extensively in the Far East and knew that it was a mistake to become romantically involved with servants. As soon as you bedded one, work time was over and she would think she had been promoted to 'girlfriend'. Ed usually took care of his sexual needs 2 or 3 times a week in the local bars which crawled with hookers. It kept him fairly happy and he didn't plan to change.
The next evening the same thing happened. She bent over and showed him her underwear. It occurred to him that she might be putting on a little show. He looked at her bent over and was overwhelmed by a desire to throw her down and screw her brains out. He knew that he could easily accomplish this, but he also knew it would be a big mistake.
Showtime continued until her next day off. It was also her payday. This time she had enough money to do whatever she wanted.
"Where are you going on your day off?" Ed inquired in poor Tagalog
"I stay here," she said in worse English.
