Auntie Claire arrived earlier than she needed to but it worked out ok, it gave the ladies more time to get ready. Erin had noticed but not commented that Claire was taking a lot more care of her appearance these days, she had been dowdy and frumpy. Erin supposed it was unconscious influence from her Mother who had always taken pride in her appearance and it has to be said that Claire was looking good. She was around the same age as Emma and now that Claire was trying she was looking very attractive, something that had not been lost on Charlotte. It was not an idle observation from Erin, Claire had indeed upped her game, Emma had shown her that being in the mid 40's does not mean you have to be dowdy, old before your time. She had gone to the salon to get her hair styled after years of just brushing it through and getting an occasional trim. She was using light make up after years of not bothering. Her legs, always good now looked spectacular as she had dug out heels she had not used for years. She was regaining confidence that had been drained by a philandering husband that she had eventually divorced. She walked through the village toward Emma's house with her head held high instead of her normal somewhat hunched gait. The closer she got the happier she felt, Charlottes tongue was going to get a work out this evening.
Claire sat in the kitchen with Erin having a cup of tea, Erin got to the subject 'you have complete control over Charlotte' Claire was told 'if you need to discipline her it is ok but I need to know what has happened' Claire agreed readily. Her bedtime is usually 7pm but you can vary it if you wish, it will get Charlotte on your side', Erin laughed imagining Charlotte thinking she had a little triumph. Emma came into the kitchen and Erin went off to get ready. Charlotte was allowed to watch some television and was in the lounge doing just that. Claire took in how nice Emma looked, as always impeccably dressed, she had never seen Emma look scruffy. Emma for her part had noticed that Claire was taking a lot more pride in her appearance these days and today was no exception, the dress looked new and a bit shorter than she normally wore, there was even a hint of stocking top from the hem of the dress that had slightly ridden up as she sat. They had become friends and were easy in each others company, Emma was impressed how Claire was really good looking when she tried and she was trying more and more lately. Something else they had found out recently was that the reputation that Claire had as a gossip was false. That had been a rumour put about by her ex-husband, through a couple of his girlfriends, to make people wary of talking to her and thereby isolating her. The information had come to Emma quite by chance and she made sure that Erin knew.
Claire entered the lounge where Charlotte was watching television. Charlotte immediately got up and curtseyed 'hello Auntie Claire' she beamed at the, frankly, sexy Claire. Erin and Emma popped in briefly on the way out for the evening telling Charlotte to be 'a good girl and do not forget Auntie Claire's word is law while she is in charge' followed by a peck to the cheek from each to Claire. Claire sat in the big armchair that Charlotte had vacated and who now sat on the floor cross legged as she was supposed to when superiors were in the room. Charlotte was sure she had got a glimpse of stocking top when Auntie sat down and before she smoothed her skirt. Hormones may have made Charlotte slow to erect now but it did not dull interest.
Outside in the car Erin said to her Mother 'do you think Claire will make use of Charlotte's talents?' Emma giggled 'you can rely on it.
