I've always been the good girl. I have never done anything wild, or adventurous. Kink? what the hell is that? The kinkiest thing I knew or heard about to date was the name of the city I lived in, Dildo. Yes I'm from Dildo Newfoundland. And it never gets old the looks on people's faces when they ask you.
"Where do you live dear?"
"I live in Dildo."
If they are of a certain age or older, they will make you repeat that several times before moving on without even asking about the name. Honestly I'm not sure where our city got it's name, but Dildo is where I live.
Honestly until I went to college in Toronto (talk about culture shock!), I never knew that there was anything wrong with the name Dildo or that it was a sex toy!
As my 30th birthday approached, my best friend since childhood planned a trip for me. A solo trip. I've never been on a trip by myself. It was her gift to me. I told her that I couldn't accept it but she wouldn't hear it. She was sending me to Las Vegas. Big trip for a gal from Dildo. Did people in Vegas even know of Newfoundland? I can guarantee they have never heard of Dildo!
So the Friday before my birthday arrived and off I went to Vegas. Got to my hotel and checked in. A gift awaited me in my room from my friends back home. A skimpy dress, something I would never ever look at in a store let alone wear! The note was to the point.
"Shelly what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Let your fucking hair down for once. Enjoy!"
I put the note and dress back in the box and went to freshen up. While in the shower I thought over that note and decided they were right. I always did right thing, what was expected of me. I am very much the good girl. Well for this week I'm in a place where nobody knows me. They don't know my reputation or anything. I can be anybody I want to be.
After I dried I went to my luggage to find an outfit to wear to dinner, but something stopped me. I went to the box and took out that dress. I looked it over and decided I should at least try it on, take a pic and text it to the girls and we'll have a good laugh over it when I return home.
I went to put it on and realized it's meant to be skin tight. I can't possibly wear underwear in this thing. Oh they are so going to get it when I get home! Yet something inside me made me put it on. I fixed my hair and makeup and selected my heels that went with the dress best. I stood back and looked myself over in the mirror then snapped the selfie. I texted my friends and kept my message simple.
"Got your present, thanks gals!"
I did something new, I turned my cell off and put it in my luggage. I kept looking in the mirror at myself. When did I get such a shapely figure? I have got some nice curves that I don't remember having before. I fill out this skimpy number rather in all the right places. How did my friends know? I never wear anything close to this.
I laughed and went to get an outfit to change into for dinner when the room phone rang. I answered and it was the girls.
"Don't you dare change. Hang up from us, grab your purse and go paint Vegas red! It's your once in a lifetime opportunity. Go do it for us!"
Then they hung up. They knew better than to give me a chance to argue with their logic. I sat on the bed and stared at the phone. Their words echoing over in my mind. Along with some other ones, my ex's words. When we broke up he didn't hide why he was ending things.
"Shelly you're great. You're incredibly intelligent, sexy and beautiful but you're a good girl. You're boring. You'll make someone a terrific wife. Goodness knows you will be an amazing mom one day. But I need spice in my life and you're bland."
I am bland. So bland that I wouldn't be surprised if you looked up the meaning of the word bland, you'd find a picture of me next to it. I do everything that's expected of me. I'm so predictable and punctual that my coworkers joke about setting their clocks by me.
Well not anymore. I'm not happy with some things in my life. Maybe this trip wont change any of them, but screw it I wont know if I don't try.
I grab my purse and the room key and go to dinner. I ask my waitress about clubs or places to go to dance. She recommends someplace near my hotel. After dinner I go back to my room to leave my purse. I take just my room key and a few dollars for drinks and head to the club she mentioned.
I'm not normally much of a dancer, but that's the point of this right. To do stuff I don't normally do?
Once inside the club I see it's packed. Fuck there's more people in this club than possibly in the entire city of Dildo. Hmmm I bet the people in here own more actual dildo's than there are number of people living in Dildo. Ok maybe that's not accurate but fuck it's crazy.
I finally get myself a drink and walk around a little, trying to see what's going on. I eventually make my way onto the dance floor and start dancing to the music. Suddenly I feel it. Hands on my shoulders. I tilt my head to see whose behind me. That's when I see him.
Him
The single most beautiful man I have ever laid my eyes on! And he's dancing with me. His hands are on me! He's smiling at me!
