Maid for the week

Erin needed to know if Charlotte could take being a maid for more than just a day on a weekend. She had them both book a week off from work. Charlotte would be maid from Saturday to the following Sunday night. To that end Erin purchased two working maid uniforms, more like hotel maids would wear, functional and machine washable. Rather than wear a wig all week Erin had styled Charlotte's hair into a feminine bob, if this week worked she would have Charlotte grow her hair. Charlotte was keen but would she be keen at the end of the week. The one thing that surprised Charlotte was that she would be in her own room, maids do not sleep with Mistresses Erin had said simply. Besides she needed to be up earlier to organise herself and provide breakfast in bed among other things. Charlotte was disappointed with sleeping arrangements but could see the logic and overall she was very enthusiastic.

On the first Saturday morning she got up at 5:30, showered and dressed making sure everything was pristine. She did her hair and make up as she was shown. Mistress wanted her breakfast at 8:00 and Charlotte had to have her own breakfast and get laundry on before then. Entering the kitchen she realised what a mess it was from the day before and would have to be cleared and that would seriously eat into the time she had available. She looked at her watch, 6:30, better get on with it, she can have breakfast after. She gave up a silent thank you to Erin for buying the dishwasher, it was going to be a godsend. She began packing the machine, there must be two days dirty crockery here, and was surprised how much there was, she scraped plates before putting them in and got rid of food waste. Charlotte was already doing most of the housework but now realised how slipshod she was, she must be more organised. Having done that she looked around, there was washing to go on. She sorted through it dividing colours and anything hand wash, thankfully not too much. The machines were in the utility so no risk of waking Miss Erin. Dawn was just happening so she could see it was dry, good thing, the washing can go out on the line instead of cluttering the utility. She looked at her watch 7:30, an hour already? Her breakfast is on hold while she mops the kitchen floor. The time was getting away from her and she still had not had her breakfast. She heard the newspaper drop on the hall floor, usually she would read it over breakfast but she will not have time today and it has to go up with Miss Erin's breakfast. She began preparing Mistresses breakfast, she wanted toast with marmalade, a small amount of muesli, coffee and orange juice and she wanted it promptly at 8:00. Charlotte did get a gulp of the coffee she had made a while ago and that was now tepid. 7:35, no time for breakfast yet, it will have to be after waking Miss Erin, why oh why did she not sort the kitchen out last night. The toaster was a four slice so she put two of her own alongside Erin's. The washing machine signalled the end of the short cycle for underwear so Charlotte went to empty it. She had just started doing that when the toast popped up, she quickly emptied the rest of the underwear and got back to the kitchen to retrieve the toast. The toast was buttered and marmalade spooned into a ramekin. 7:50, pour a cup of coffee, pour the orange juice, don't panic. Find a tray, everything on it and deliver, 7:56 and outside the bedroom, knock before entering, put the tray down and open the curtains. Erin has woken, 'good morning Miss, your breakfast'.  'Good morning Charlotte, run my bath please'. That took Charlotte slightly off guard, she had work to do downstairs but without a word she ran the bath making sure it was not too hot 'where is the newspaper Charlotte?'. Charlotte blanched, the first proper day and she had forgotten the paper. she rushed down to get it. Erin took the paper and put it down 'you are dismissed', 'yes Miss'.
