Bea assisted her good friend Mildred carry her luggage to the lift. They rode down the six floors to the lobby in silence, each immersed in their own thoughts, but when they reached the waiting electro-limo at the curb, the emotional dam burst. As Ivan, the chauffeur, loaded the suitcases into the boot, the two young women wrapped one another in their arms and the tears flowed copiously. Promising to return the visit as soon as she could get away, the smaller of the two bustled her friend into the limo and, in spite of the steady London spring drizzle, stood and watched as it pulled away from the curb toward the train station.
Only then did she shake the droplets from the mass of short curly black hair that surrounded her head and dash back into the narrow lobby of her building. Patty, the plump security guard, remotely unlocked the stairwell door without even waiting for Bachi to say a word. The lithe, long legged girl ran through the lobby, slammed the door open and flew up the stairs, quickly calculating the amount of time she had until that evening's customer was due (too soon) and the time it would take her to properly prepare for him (too long).
Hurrying into the kitchen, Bachi found her large, very black housekeeper at the sink, cleaning the utensils that had been used to prepare the evening's meal. A quick hug around the neck let the older woman know that her efforts were dearly appreciated.
Without turning from her chores, Henrietta said, "There are two individual shrimp cocktails on the top shelf of the refrig. The lamb rack and the parsleyed potatoes are in the oven. Oven's programmed to turn on shortly and then reduce the temperature to warm at 7:30. You might get away with letting it stand for up to a half hour, but, after that, I'm not responsible for what comes out.
If you're in the kitchen at 7:25, you can put the bread in the oven for five minutes to crisp, otherwise you'll have to warm it in the microwave for one minute before you serve it. The asparagus tips are on the second shelf of the refrig and need to be zapped in the microwave for two minutes. Let them sit for three minutes before serving.
The mint sauce for the meat is in the bottom of the refrig along with the sauce for the asparagus. I selected a bottle of 2018 vintage Penfolds Grange to accompany the meal and it should be opened at least five minutes before it is to be served. There is a strawberry compote on the third shelf and you can either serve it over the cheese cake in the bottom of the refrig or the vanilla ice cream in the freezer. Any questions?"
Rising up on tiptoes and kissing her ear, the younger woman exclaimed, "You're the best, Henrietta; I don't know how I could get on without you. I must get myself ready." With that, she turned and hurried out into the hallway.
"I'll set the table before I leave and see you on the morrow," she heard the housekeeper say and quickly responded over her shoulder, "Give my love to your kids!" although even her youngest, Dominique, was certainly no kid – he was six years older than Bachi and towered over her slight frame.
Pausing in the hallway, Bachi changed the channel on the satellite feed that played throughout the flat from the reggae that Henrietta preferred to soft rock and hurried into her bedroom, shedding her clothing as she went. Her thong, stockings and new blouse went into the laundry hamper and her skirt was hung up in the large walk-in closet.
She briefly admired her youthful figure in the mirrored closet doors before padding barefoot toward the en suite. Glancing over her shoulder, she ran her eyes over her long slender legs, taut bum, narrow waist and wide shoulders. "I've been truly blessed," she thought to herself, "I could have been taller and my titties could have been larger, but, on the whole, the good Lord gave me a body to be proud of."
Foregoing a bath due to the time constraints, Bachi opted for a quick shower. She shampooed and conditioned her mass of unruly curls and scrubbed the rest of her with a fragrant body wash and pouf. Quickly toweling herself off, she ran a large toothed comb through her hair to pull out any tangles and left it to dry on its own.
Her wet hair clung to her head in dark little ringlets, but she was resigned to it drying to its usual unmanageable curls. Fortunately, it was healthy, shiny and easy to care for as long as she kept it cut short and she wasn't about to use any of the powerful chemical straighteners that were available.
Plugging in her personal depilator, she slowly stroked the hand-held device up and down each of her legs. The depilator sought out any hair that it came in contact with and a low power laser removed it down to the follicle. The only sensation that she felt was the warmth of the head of the device, but the stench of burning hair assured her that it was performing as intended. The exhaust fan in the ceiling would soon rid the en suite of the offending odor, so she pressed on with her underarms, labia and finally the cleft of her arse.
