Maid


My sister and her husband (the king and queen of the Magic Kingdom) have a live in maid, Miss Gwen. A little history here, in Jamaica, it is not uncommon to have a live in maid, or two (called helpers), they basically do that they help, cook, clean etc. The king and queen have of course taken this to a new level, Miss Gwen wake up at 5 every morning to prepare a full "west Indian breakfast" that is served promptly at 6:30 for the prince of the kingdom so he can get to school and then again for the king and queen at 7:45. There are two sittings in which the table is set with china and cloth napkins. Miss Gwen serves the food into plates, and upon request even cuts the kings food into bite sized pieces (no lie). After breakfast, (the king leaves scraps of left overs on the plate saying "Gwen-do don't throw away this toast and used tea bag this is for you", Gwen has to put on her cleaning clothes and clean the house daily from top to bottom. They live in a town house on 4 floors, which she uses boiling water and rags, on her hands and knees to clean. She then prepares lunch and dinner in a similar fashion to the breakfast. Her day usually end at around 8 or 9 she sits on the stairs to the basement, until then waiting to be called upon for snacks or the spot in the tub that she missed while cleaning. She sleeps in the basement on one of those benches that are just long enough to fit under the stairs. I wont even say how much she gets paid, but lets just say that you or I would spend that easily in an afternoon out. She works from Sunday night until Friday afternoon. So when she said that she wanted to clean my place on Saturdays, I objected, that is her only full day off, she has a husband, get some rest, and truthfully, I really didn't feel like hiding the porn, and feeling the embarrassment of another person, cleaning my crap.

She however did not take no for an answer and bright and early this morning knocked on my door, pushed past me rag and bucket in hand, and cleaned this place from top to bottom. Its so clean I don't even want to sit down for fear that I'll mess it up. When I tried to give her some money for her troubles, she was very offended, and said that I remind her so much of my mother, and that she would do anything for her. So she would do anything for me, that she want to make my place nice and "sexy"

So now that I have a nice "sexy" apartment, all I need to do is have sex here.

Maybe it's the beer bottle next to the computer that makes it so sexy.

Yente is right, she has taken to sitting in the window and watching me come and go. Cute, but a little annoying at the same time. then again she does make the place look "sexy" and gives me sunday dinner.
