One evening I was staying over in a hotel in the Midlands after a work event. I got back to the hotel just around 11pm, and normally I’d head to bed. But, since it was a Friday night I said I’d have a nightcap in the hotel bar.
It was a small bar, in an old style country house hotel. Cozy.
I was sitting at the bar checking the news on my phone, enjoying my last drink ( or so I thought ) when a couple entered.
They were happy and tactile, and approached the bar to order.
She was petite, wearing a tight red dress, short blonde hair, and looked my way and offered a lovely smile. She then took three steps closer, and was suddenly looking over my shoulder. She immediately asked what I was looking at? I said the news, and she quickly replied , really? Are you sure it wasn’t porn? And gave me another big smile.
She rubbed my shoulder and then moved back to her partner and ordered her drink.
It was fair to assume they had been out somewhere too. They went and sat at a table behind me. They were chatting and laughing. There was only one other couple in the bar and the barman, who was also the night porter, so he was coming and going,
After a little while her bf left, to go out for a cigarette or back to their room for something.
She immediately popped up and back over to me. She said I like your accent, asked me where I was from, she was from London. They were In the midlands for a family event… she asked why I was all alone in a hotel on a Friday night? She was overtly flirting, standing beside me her hand came to rest on my thigh. |
