Chapter 4: Along the walls

Aretha

- Now, take a shower and come into the kitchen and I'll give you something to eat.

- Thank you.

- No, call me Carmine.

- Thanks Carmine, but I have nothing to wear.

- That's okay, Rachelle left some things here when she left. Besides, you're practically the same size. Here, we always wear work clothes, so look in the closet and you'll find work clothes.

- Okay, thanks Carmine.

As soon as she comes out, I go into the shower to wash up. Once I've finished, I get dressed in the outfit. It's an all-black dress with a white apron. It's below my knees.

I fix my hair and go out. I've always been admired in the street because I have a beautiful shape with a wasp waist, a good posterior and a nice bust. It must be said that the Lord has spoiled me. I try to find my way to the kitchen, this house is so big you could get lost.

I find a man on my way, as tall as the first one I found at the salon.

- And who's this? Little Red Riding Hood! Where did you come from?

He's getting closer to me, he's circling me and he's getting me closer to him:

- Monsieur...

- Armando.... leave my surrogate alone!

We turn to Madame.

- Go to Carmine.

- Yes, ma'am!

I run to leave near this gentleman.

He's so big! He scares me as much as the other one. I run into the kitchen. Carmine looks at me surprised by my entrance!

- What's up? What's going on? Why are you running?

- I ... it's monsieur.... the other monsieur

- Does he scare you?

- Yes, he looked at me in a funny way.

- You'll have to do your best to avoid him, he's capable of raping you!

- I know, I'm really scared. Should I clean his room, too?

- No, you're only going to look after madame and monsieur's room. You start tomorrow morning. Take a seat, you must be hungry.

- It's true, I haven't eaten in two days!

- Oh my little one! But why?

- It's a long story Carmine, I'll tell you one day.

She serves me and I start to eat.

A woman enters the kitchen, given her uniform she works here with us.

She is very beautiful with loose hair. She looks like an Indian. She must be of mixed race.

- Carmine, who's that?

- Let me introduce you ... how

are you called?

- My name is Aretha.

- Meet Aretha, one of our own and Madame's new surrogate!

I see the young woman burst into a sarcastic laugh.

- If I couldn't give the bosses their child, is this puny little thing going to make it? She's skinny like she doesn't eat.

- That's enough Marina! Leave her alone!

- Anyway, I don't care, my Armando is already my business! So one less won't do anything for me.

She takes an apple from the table and comes out.

I finish eating and ask Carmine:

- I don't know if I understood correctly, but I thought she was sleeping with both bosses!

- Yes, you've got it right, there's so much going on in this house! Your eyes will see many things, but your mouth must always remain closed.

- Okay, Carmine, but doesn't Madame know that Monsieur is fooling around with her?

- Yes, she does.

- But isn't she jealous?

- No, she knows that her husband can't love a servant?

- And why?

- That's the way he is! When Madame isn't there and he's in the mood, you know what I mean?

- Yes.

- When he feels like it, he grabs one of the girls and does what he has to do!

- Oh my God! What if she doesn't want to?

- None of the girls refuse, on the contrary, they're all ready whenever one of the men needs them! It seems they're good at what they do.

- What does it mean to be a good shot?

- It means they know what they're doing when they do it.

- What thing?

- You weren't just born either! That means they know how to use their third foot.

- Ho....

- Do you understand now?

- Yes, I understand.

You should get some rest, tomorrow morning I'll wake you up to go to the master bedroom for cleaning.

- Okay, but I want to help you do the dishes.

- No, there's no need. We have a machine for that.

- Okay, but...

- There's no buts about it, young lady. Get some rest.

- Thank you very much Carmine , you are very kind .

- You're welcome. Rest well.

I go out and walk along the walls so as not to run into one of the men of the house. I get to my room quickly. Phew, I'm safe for the night.

I change, look in the wardrobe and find an old nightdress, which I think will do the trick!
