"Jenny," I heard Mrs Draycott call, "I don't want to be a nuisance, but do you think you could spare me a moment?"
I walked across the large hallway and entered the lounge where my employer was laying on the couch.
"I've slipped down a little." she said in her soft husky voice "Do you think you could help me up."
I walked over to her and smiled "Of course Mrs Draycott, lift your arms."
I leaned over her and she put her arms around my neck and I placed my own under hers and linked my hands behind her back.
"1, 2, 3, lift" I said and together we moved a few inches towards the end of the couch to make her much more comfortable.
She was now in a sitting position and as we released our arms from each other she gave me a sweet smile and thanked me.
"I don't know where the nurse has got to," she said, "I gave the agency strict instructions that she should be here before it was time for you to leave. I so dislike putting you out, especially after everything that you have done for me these past few months."
"Don't worry about it Mrs Draycott," I replied, "I haven't anything of importance planned for this evening. I'm quite happy to stay until the nurse arrives."
I didn't want to upset her by letting on that I had plans to meet Pam, my closest friend. Although we kept making these plans something always seemed to pop up at the last moment to dash them. It had been several weeks since our last meeting and we had so much to catch up on.
Mrs Draycott looked at me as I brushed the creases out of my uniform. "You were a marvel this afternoon Jenny, I think everybody was impressed. I didn't think that I would be able to take my turn with the afternoon club meetings but, of course, I hadn't taken into account your ability to handle almost any situation. Mrs Davison was most impressed and believe you me it takes an awful lot to impress her!"
We both laughed. Mrs Davison is what can only be described as an out and out snob, always having to have the best of everything and then making sure that everybody knows that she has it. However, since Mrs Draycott's accident she has always been on hand to help in any way that she can, probably more than anyone else. Her assistance had been invaluable during the first few weeks.
Mrs Draycott looked at me as I stood beside her.
"You've got such a lovely smile Jenny." she told me. "If we could bottle it we'd make a fortune."
I just smiled again. I didn't know what to say.
I walked back out of the lounge and across the hall to the kitchen to check on the dishwasher.
I had worked for Mrs Draycott for about four years, since I was fourteen. To begin with I used to help her at weekends and when I reached sixteen she offered me a full time job when I told her that I didn't want to stay on at school.
At first my parents weren't very pleased with the prospect of their daughter working as a domestic help but after a few weeks of seeing how happy I was in my job, coupled with the fact that Mrs Draycott paid me a very good wage they accepted it. In fact they themselves became fairly close to Mrs Draycott and her husband, often being invited to dinner parties and suchlike. Mrs Draycott was also very considerate on such occasions by not asking me to work when my mum and dad were present.
All of the socialising stopped after the accident. Mr and Mrs Draycott had spent the evening with their daughter and her husband and had left for home in the most happiest of moods after being told that they were, for the first time, shortly to become grandparents.
Exactly what happened nobody is entirely sure. The police concluded that as Mr Draycott was driving down a main road,a large van had pulled out of a side road into his path. He had no chance of avoiding an accident and ran straight into the side of the offending vehicle at a fairly high speed. Mr Draycott was killed instantly and his wife was left with very little use of her legs. She still has full feelings in the lower half of her body but has very little control over her lower limbs, although after much and continuing therapy, she was making very good progress and the doctors looking after her had high hopes that one day she would again be able to walk unaided. That day however was still far in the distant future.
The driver of the van escaped without a scratch. Blood tests proved that Mr Draycott, despite having one or two celebration drinks was well within the legal drink driving limit, but the other driver had more than twice the legally allowed amount.
I made myself a coffee and as was normal also made one for Mrs Draycott. I took both cups into the lounge and placed them on the coffee table in front of where she was laying and sat in the chair opposite.
She thanked me and told me that I could change out of my uniform if I wanted to. I told her that I would wait until I was ready to go home. As I glanced at her I noticed that she was looking up my short dress. My heart skipped a beat and my ears suddenly became very hot. I found myself parting my legs a little further knowing that she would get a clear view of my panties. She didn't move her eyes, and feeling rather turned on by her looking at me, I parted my legs just a little further.
Up until today I had normally worn my own clothes for work but Mrs Draycott thought it would be good fun if we 'went for it' this afternoon and put on a bit of a show for the other members of her afternoon club.
She of course asked me if I would mind wearing a proper maids uniform for the afternoon and, after thinking about it, I thought it might be a quite a giggle to do so. We looked through various clothing catalogues to see if we could find anything suitable but didn't have any luck. Then, one day when I was walking through town I saw a French Maids uniform in a 'fancy dress' shop window. 'Perfect' I thought to myself and went inside and purchased it.
It is the traditional black with white lace trimmings. The dress hemline is a little short and looked a little out of place with my slim legs but Mrs Draycott suggested that I buy some black stockings to compliment it. I did so and now I looked like the sluttiest French Maid that you could ever wish to meet.
I looked over to Mrs Draycott laying on the couch. She was almost dozing, her eyes obviously becoming very heavy. We both have rich red, mine is cut short but hers flowed over her shoulders and almost covered her small breasts. That is one of the many things we have in common, small breasts. I am 34A and I think she is about the same. She is a tall, slim and very attractive middle aged lady. Although I am about two or three inches shorter than her we are of a very similar build.
She suddenly opened her big green eyes and looked over to me.
"You look very cute in your uniform," she said, breaking into a smile, and again glanced up my dress, "Maybe you should wear it all the time."
"Would you like me to?" I asked her.
"No, I wouldn't dream of making you wear it all the time." she replied.
"But you haven't answered my question," I said, "Would you like me to wear it all the time?" I didn't know what made me ask her but for some reason I wanted yes to be her answer.
