I had recently been given a job as Chief Engineer from the company who was building the new Power station in the North of England. I had already been there for a week and had been staying in a dreadful hotel which was a forty-minute drive to my work. It made for a long day. I searched around but found nothing. I then went to the Rectory and explained my situation. The Minister's wife then gave me an address and mobile number telling me that Sally Cook was a widow and lived in a beautiful farmhouse. Her husband had died four years ago, and she did holiday rents in the summertime. She also said that she would give her a call and tell her what a nice young man you were. She also hoped to see me at church on Sunday.
I had been given a daily allowance from my company of one hundred and twenty pounds per day to cover food and accommodation. I would be able to afford to pay for my room quickly. I then put Mrs Cook's address into my navi and saw from the screen that she was perhaps two miles from my workplace. I then telephoned her and asked if it was suitable for me to call this afternoon in maybe twenty minutes. She said that would be perfect and was looking forward to meeting me.
I arrived at the farmhouse, and it was beautiful, Sally opened the door and invited me inside. Everything was perfect, so neat and tidy. The furnishings were lovely, my room was spotless, and there was an active WiFi connection. It was an ideal place for me. Sally asked if I would like a cup of tea. We sat in the kitchen and Sally told me that she wanted five hundred pounds a month for the room and breakfast and also included laundry. I then asked her if she could give me a price for an evening meal. She then told me that an average dinner she could do for six pounds per night and that would include two courses. I said, "That's excellent Sally, can we call it ten pounds per night, then we can have a nice steak every now and again."
She smiled then said, "Tom, what time would you like to eat in the evening as I will cook for both of us and we can eat together?"
I replied, "Does seven in the evening suit you. I am not a drinker, I never go to the pub for a drink, but I enjoy a glass of wine with my evening meal and would be happy if you shared a glass with me over our meal. If you need anything done around the house then just let me know. I would pay you monthly in advance, and I would pay you in cash, when can I move in?"
Sally smiled then said, "That would be excellent, I'm not really a drinker, but I enjoy wine. You can move in today and tonight we will have steak this evening as I have nothing in. We also converted a barn into an indoor pool, sauna and Jacuzzi. This was done for my husband as his doctor recommended that he should swim every day. For a sauna, if you message me, then I can switch it on as it takes just over half an hour to heat to operating temperature."
I shook her hand and said, "I'll now go and check out of the hotel that I am staying in and should be back here within the hour."
She gave me a key and showed me how the Alarm System worked, as she was going shopping. Before I left I put six bottles of Premier Cru Chablis into her very spacious fridge. I then left and thought Sally was a nice woman, she was tall with a curvy body, her breasts looked enormous. I am just over six feet tall, and she in flat shoes, was maybe five inches shorter than me. She had long legs. I would have put her around sixty, but her grey hair made her look older.
The first week flew in, her cooking was excellent. We had a bottle of my wine each evening, and she really enjoyed this. Sally was doing my laundry daily basis. She gave me a full breakfast each morning, she kept four chickens, and the eggs were fresh every morning. She still owned the farmland and rented it out to another farmer. She was delighted that I was paying her cash. We chatted about everything and anything. I believed that she enjoyed me staying there.
After ten days, I was lying in my bed, and I heard a buzzing sound. I went to the connecting wall and could hear the buzzing sound changing to different sounds and frequencies. I thought, "Surely Sally is not using a vibrator. "
