Mistress and Servant part Three

The  end  of  the  first  month  came  quicker  than  Celeste  had anticipated.  She rang  the  bank  to check  that  the  BACS  payment  had gone  through. As she listened  to  the  automated  line  she  thought  of  how  Augustine  would  love  the  automation  and  disassociation .
Sure  enough  Augustine’s solicitors  had made  the  deposit, actually  slightly  more  than  she had expected which pleased  her greatly. 
She had noticed  that  on this morning Augustine  was  up earlier  than her , she hastily dressed  and ran to the kitchen  without even cleaning her teeth or brushing her hair. 
Augustine  was  standing  at  the  cooker making scrambled eggs  , the kettle  was  also  boiling.
‘I am sorry  I did not  think  that  you would be up  ..eggs and coffee  suitable? ‘
She was wearing  a  new to shirt  but the jeans were too  tight  and had seen  some wear.
When Celeste  remained silent she said
‘ Have you forgotten already?  It’s your turn  to  be  mistress ‘.
Celeste  sat down,  she had forgotten,  but the thought of now punishing  Augustine  for  the  most  miniscule  misdemeanour came to her.
After  her  eggs  and  coffee  ( eggs  were  first  rate  but  the  coffee  too  strong ) she announced  that  she  was  going  to  have  a  bath.  Augustine  nodded  her acceptance  and walked past  Celeste  . As she did so she felt a hard slap  on  her  backside. 
‘Be quick  about  it ‘ Celeste  said
‘That was  hard! ‘
‘I didn’t  complain before  and I  suggest  you  don’t “
Both  voices  were raised  and both were now  understanding  the  nature  of  the  game. 
Both  of  them were excited  and were both hoping that  the  other knew this. The time seemed to  stop  before  Celeste  stood up and with both hands  gripped  the cheeks  of Augustine’s behind. She was delighted  to  discover  that  she  was  not  wearing  any  underwear. 
Augustine  tensed  and let out a small  cry  as she stood  on tiptoe .
‘Do as you are told ‘  Celeste  had lowered her voice and  was tempted  not  to  let  go,  however  she did and Augustine  walked  away  rubbing herself. 

The next  week  Celeste  decided that she would  be  careful  in her treatment of  Augustine   she enjoyed  Augustine’s  discomfiture  that she may say something  at any moment.  Her cooking was acceptable  but not creative and her cleaning was nowhere near Celeste’s standard. 
One bright  morning two weeks  later Augustine  decided to clean the  tiles  in the kitchen.  They were generally  in a reasonable  condition  but cracks were appearing and she decided to scrub them before  possibly  getting someone  to retile .

She wasn’t  sure  how  long she had been  on her knees  before Celeste  came back. She had been for a walk to get the bearings  of the white  house and was hot and to her surprise,  tired. 

She ignored  Augustine  and sat down, taking off her old trainers  and  socks.  Her feet  were hot and odorous,  she rubbed  them and walked over to Augustine. 

She didn’t  look  up  so  Augustine  put a foot under  her chin and lifted  her head  Augustine  smiled  and began to kiss Celeste’s  foot.   Celeste  found herself  excited  and laid down, offering Augustine  the  opportunity  to kiss and fondle both  feet.  Both  were breathing hard  but any excitement  was suddenly  curtailed  by  a  knock  at  the  door .

Neither  moved , there was another,  harder  knock  and Celeste  got  up  first.  She went  to  Augustine  and pulled  her  head up  by  her hair  causing  her to  exhale  sharply. 
‘I’ll go  ..you stay on your  knees ‘ Celeste  hissed  the words out. 
There was a tall young man at the door,  he looked dishevelled  but then Celeste  caught sight of a van behind him.
‘ I’m  Jake  Hill  , I am just setting  up  my  own  gardening  business  and  I  wondered  if  you  are  looking  for something  I can  offer? ‘
The words  were  well rehearsed and Celeste  thought  he had been  giving  his  introduction  all  day. 
‘Are  you  the owner?  I can give  you  my card  and  call  back  in  a month  if you  want? ‘
He was patiently  waiting  for  some response. 
‘ Yes yes I am , you call  back’

She put his card in her pocket  and made  her way  to  the  kitchen. 
Augustine was standing  waiting  for  her.
‘I told  you  to stay  down! ‘ Celeste  slapped  her .
It was vicious  and violent  and  meant  to  be  but Augustine  rolled  her  head  to lessen  the  effect. 
‘What  if he comes back  when  I  am  mistress! ‘
‘We can lie! ‘
Augustine didn’t  like  the  thought  of  someone  possibly  coming unannounced. She moved  quickly  to Celeste  and gripped  her  hair  as hers had been taken  a few  moments  ago. 
“Just shut up  ! If he returns he will  need  to  be  dealt  with! ‘
A shocked Augustine  wondered  where  the  next  stage of  the  game  was going.
