Rosemary would pop round to Eileen's on her way back from the hairdresser's. She knew that Steve wouldn't be around as he was working, so she would be free to ask the embarrassing favour of her younger neighbour. How Eileen would then keep her secret that evening, she did not know but felt sure that she would come up with some pretext to allow her to carry out the favour without Steve knowing.
Rose parked her mobility scooter on the drive and staggered the few yards to ring the doorbell. Eileen opened up,
"Hello Rose, can I make you a cuppa, I'm just doing one for myself."
"Thank you, luvvie, you are a darling."
Eileen offered the older lady an arm and led her into the sitting room. Rose took a seat and reached for her spectacles from her handbag. Once they were on she could see the family photographs around the room. Steve and Eileen's wedding photo, a few professional studio group portraits with the kids but the one that she was always drawn to was that one of Steve in his football kit.
"God, you're a lucky girl to have a fella like your Steve. What a hunk!" she told Eileen, as she placed the tea and biscuits on the coffee table.
"You like that photo? He isn't keen on it. Here you go, have a closer look."
This was going well, she could steer the conversation onto her favourite subjects - men and sex - and link to the strange request.
"Are things still good with you both? Everything fine and dandy in the bedroom?"
"Really good, Rose. I'd be surprised if you don't hear us, most evenings when the kids are out. Now they're older and not always under our feet we get some real quality time."
"Oohhh, you lucky woman. I'd love to get a good shagging more often than I do these days."
"Do you have anyone at the moment?"
"Well, yes I do, actually. I've got a date this evening which is really the reason I've come round. I need to ask you a favour. It's a bit of a delicate issue."
"That's nice. Who's the lucky man? I'll do anything I can to help you, just ask."
"I met Howard a few weeks ago, we've had sex together a couple of times but tonight is our first date. He lives a long way away and is married so it's difficult. Well, I want to make it special tonight, so I thought I'd wear my basque."
Rose reached inside her coat pocket, pulled out a photograph and handed it to Eileen.
"Bloody hell, Rose, you minx!"
The photograph showed the 70 year old woman a few years earlier, stood in a hotel room in nothing but the red item of lingerie. Eileen marveled at the impressive cleavage and womanly hips even if her legs gave away the mobility problems she had suffered for many years.
"Alan took the photo, when I was seeing him again behind his wife's back."
"Your ex-husband Alan?"
"Yes. I was at a low point and I let him take advantage of me. He never was the greatest but what I craved from it was the admiration I wasn't getting anywhere else and he did always love my pussy even if he took it for granted."
"So, what's the favour you need?"
"I can't get into it on my own, would you mind, later, after my bath, helping me into it?"
"Of course, Rose. What time d'you need me there?"
"Around 6:30. Please don't tell Steve, can you think up some other reason?"
"I'll see what I can do. How did you meet this latest love cheat?"
"In the supermarket. I had just finished my coffee and was touching up me lippy. I saw him watching me. I smiled and so did he. I said "Hello" and "How are you?". He said he was great, thanks and he had just stopped here for a bit of lunch. Then I asked him what his plans were for the rest of the afternoon. He said that he hoped he'd be spending it with me. He said that he was so nervous he couldn't finish his sandwich. He walked with me out of the cafe and asked if I needed a lift.
"Oh no, I said, I've got this (pointing to my scooter) and I'll need to drive it back home."
"So, how are we going to do this?" he asked.
I gave him my address, kissed him on the cheek and left. I was so afraid that he might get cold feet and I wouldn't see him but I'd barely got home and he pulled up in this big black car. I guided him onto my drive, he got out and then we kissed properly for the first time. He patted my backside as we walked to my door. Once inside we got back down to the tonsil hockey. I wanted him to take me to bed. It didn't seem right having our first fuck in my hallway. I got on my stairlift and then he said,
"Let me go ahead first."
He was waiting for me at the top. We kissed again and I said
"Which room do you want, I've got three?"
"This one looks least overlooked" and he led me by the hand.
