This is my first attempt to write anything remotely erotic, please forgive me if it's rubbish.

Florence was making her way, almost skipping with glee, along the dirt covered road to reach her shared house, but looked up at the destination she was going to in a few days: the new neighbour's place.
She was quite curious about the mysterious Ms. Fitzgerald. The woman had moved into the larger house separated from the rest of her local estate and nobody had really seen her around the neighbourhood. No-one knew if she was rich, or employed, or anything in general. All they knew was that she was in her late 30's, based on casual glances from afar when she first arrived, wore black mostly and had very rich black hair that she gelled over to one side.
Ms. Fitzgerald was a key topic of gossip around the typical estate of Evington and Florence was feeling very privileged.
Florence herself was a young 19-year-old with straight brown hair that ran down to her shoulder blades like a chocolate waterfall, with creamy skin and a skinny exterior with mild fashion sense. She was house-sharing with her best friend, Ruby, and was eager to do some work to have money to help pay rent, eat and on weekends, go with her to the nearest club and get wasted like any young adult would.
By chance, Florence had come across Ms. Fitzgerald herself on her way home from the nearby town and introduced herself.
"Hi! Aren't you the new neighbour, living up at the big house?"
"Yeah, I am. Who might you be?"
"Florence Reeves. And you?"
"Adalind Fitzgerald, nice to meet you. You're very friendly."
"Oh, we all are around here. Many are wondering what you're all about. You've been quite the enigma!"
"Well, I do like my privacy, you know," shrugged Adalind casually.
"Oh, nobody will actually snoop on you, just come up with wild ideas about you," said Florence, a tad guiltily.
"Oh, what's the wildest idea?"
"Well..."
Florence blushed at this point. It was Ruby who came up with the most bizarre scenario. And it was during a gossipy conversation between Ruby and herself.
"...one person suggested you were some kind of evil villainess on the run and in hiding in a sleepy village town where nobody knows who you are and live in secrecy to avoid being found by the cops."
Adalind Fitzgerald laughed heartily.
"And there was me thinking that the neighbourhood thought I was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, or maybe some kind of sexual deviant!"
Florence giggled.
"It hasn't gone that far yet," she admitted.
"Well, Florence, it was nice seeing you...in fact...I think I could do with some assistance."
"Assistance?"
"You seem fairly young, do you have a job?"
"No, actually, I do odd jobs, but there's not much need for new employees around these parts. I need something though, so I can pay my half of the rent with my friend."
"I think I could help you out with that, and get you out of your house share for a short while."
"Really?"
"Yes, you see, I'm going away on business for a few days," said Adalind, "I work mostly online due to coronavirus, but my company wants me to come down to the old offices and withdraw all my files and papers etc. They want me to head up down here in the town. But I need to go through the fatiguing promotions and business dinner parties involved."
"Congratulations?"
Florence wasn't sure if this was a suitable reply, considering Adalind looked more annoyed than overjoyed at her promotion.
"However, I have just moved into my new home, and I am a bit...highly strung when it comes to cleanliness. So...would it be possible for you to housesit for me?"
"Y-you want me to be your house sitter?"
"If you would be so kind," said Adalind, "I know we don't really know each other, but my instincts suggest you are a sweet girl, and I'm sure you wouldn't do anything silly, like a wild party."
"Oh, no, I certainly would not, Ms Fitzgerald! I don't trust boys or even my best female friends not to destroy the place! I promise the only person in or out of your home will be me, and I promise to do all I can to keep up the house for you and ensure I earn every penny, I swear! Girl scouts' honour and all that!"
Florence was practically dancing on her toes in her keenness to finally earn some ready cash.
"Marvellous! I will be leaving on Friday evening, can you make it then?" asked Adalind.
"Absolutely, I can definitely make that!"
"Alright, well, come over a few hours before I leave, then we can have a proper get to know you chat and then I'll show you round the house and all that before I leave."
"Sounds good to me, Miss."
"Do call me Adalind. I want us both on first name basis if I'm trusting you with my house!"
"Sure thing, Adalind," smiled Florence.
"Well, I'll see you Friday then."
"Yes, you will!"
Adalind made her way in the opposite direction to Florence, who was keen to let Ruby know that she had scored not only a job, but a sort of holiday at the same time.
********
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday came and went as is their weekly prerogative, but to Florence, it seemed that they dragged by over a month. She was so excited to housesit for Adalind, and even more so to have some privacy for a short while. She made it clear to Ruby that she had no intention of betraying the new neighbour's trust and was not willing to host parties or even let Ruby in, unless permitted by Adalind herself.
The truth was, that though Florence was a lot more conservative and reserved compared to her flourishing, ravenous best friend, she did have a little wild side, which was merely watching porn and reading erotica. She also managed a quiet masturbation routine in the shower, but she never did any of those things if Ruby was in the house they shared at the time.
She found it too dangerous and embarrassing should she get caught as she tended to be very vocal when giving herself pleasure.
In the privacy of her new acquaintance's home, she was hoping to have the peace and quiet and solitude necessary to pleasure herself, only in the room provided for her by Adalind, without any disturbance or fear of being caught.
But today was Friday, and soon she was packed for the weekend, as Adalind was due to return on the Sunday evening. She packed only a few changes of clothes, her bathing necessities, her toothbrush, her own rubber gloves to help keep the place tidy, as she herself was also a tidy young woman, and of course, her laptop which she would need for the aforementioned pleasures she planned to indulge in.
"Sure I can't come along?" asked Ruby, from the bedroom doorway.
"Not a hope," said Florence firmly.
"Spoilsport!"
Florence stuck out her tongue which Ruby replied with a middle finger and a cheeky smirk.
"Don't forget to do your pigtails, so you look the perfect little innocent, Miss Prude!"
Before Florence could reply, Ruby hopped away to her own room, yelling behind her, "See you Sunday night!"
Florence rolled her eyes in amused exasperation, finished her packing, grabbing a couple of Galaxy bars from the fridge on her way out, and left to visit the home of Adalind Fitzgerald.
It took a matter of five minutes uphill to get to the estate, which was surrounded in stony gravel and the exterior of the household was worn red brick with more modern looking windows installed. Red and black curtains were aligned in different patterns from both sides of said windows. The garden behind it was open ground and had some beautiful petunias, hollyhocks and poppies growing sparsely along the outer edges, leading to the fence at the back, cutting off the house's estate from several acres of wildflowers beyond.
Florence was always curious to know what it was like inside, so wasted no time reaching the front oak door, ringing the outdated bell a full fifteen minutes early.
The door was promptly opened by Adalind, who was wearing a black business jacket, a striped shirt, buttoned up high, with her gelled hair in a tight bun. She was also wearing very vivid red lipstick.
"A prompt arrival, very efficient," she remarked approvingly.
"Only aiming to please," said Florence confidently.
"You're certainly achieving that," said Adalind, "do come in and we'll discuss the rules, where you'll sleep and of course, where the larder and wine cabinet is."
She winked at that last part, making Florence giggle.
As she entered, Florence saw the main hallway and it was the size of hers and Ruby's kitchen and lounge put together. A winding staircase made of marble was at the far end, leading to large en suite rooms, and on either side were corridors leading to the lounge and to the dining area and kitchen. The carpets were a beauteous red and there was even a crystal chandelier overseeing it all and reflecting the brighter colours of the interior, giving a picturesque effect.
"This. Is. Amazing!"
"You don't know the half of it," chuckled Adalind.
"How on earth did you manage to afford this place, Adalind?" asked Florence. "It used to be earned by a local bigwig...um, wasn't his name...Viscount Towdry?"
"Oh, my job pays very well, Florence."
"I don't doubt it," said the younger woman looking in awe all around her, "what is your job?"
"Just a high executive position in one of the bigger companies in town," said Adalind dismissively, "I like not to talk too much about work when I'm at home."
"Sorry, Adalind."
"Not at all, now let's show you to your room."
Up the winding staircase they went. There were several rooms on either side. Adalind revealed them to be three bedrooms, one of which was hers, shut for privacy. The second was a small spare bedroom, but the third was slightly larger with an en suite bathroom, complete with a four poster bed, which seemed large enough to fit three people.
"This will be your room for the weekend," said Adalind.
"This one?" gasped Florence in awe.
"Why not?"
"Wouldn't you rather I was in the...smaller room?"
"Nonsense, that room is only for visitors who are here on business. You are my first friend in the neighbourhood, so you get the best guestroom."
