Friendship found and lost
Steve5511
The call from my service had come in a couple of hours ago but even so I'd only just picked up the message as I got into my car and checked my phone.
The appointment wasn't too far and I knew the hotel - knew the concierge even - and I could get something to eat and a coffee on the way.
I checked my face in the vanity mirror for any marks. My previous client had been a little rougher than I liked but there were no marks that I could see as I craned my neck from side to side.
In the diner I ordered a sandwich and coffee and called my baby sitter.
"Hi, everything ok?" I paused while she spoke. "No, I'll be a little later than planned so just use the pull-out bed. Sure, I'll pay the extra. Thanks. G'night."
I freshened up in the diner rest room and checked my makeup, making sure my lips were good and red and then went out to the car. Five blocks later I was in the parking lot of the hotel and I called the front desk.
This was a standard precaution; I didn't want to walk into some room and find a weirdo, or worse.
"Hi, could I speak with Mr Morgan, Mr Jim Morgan staying in room 1423?" While the operator connected me to the room I glanced at my watch: 10:56.
With any luck I'd be home by half-past midnight.
"Hi Jim? This is Anna. Just wanted to check it's ok to come up."
His voice sounded a little breathy, a little nervous perhaps and it was often this way; perhaps it was his first time or perhaps he was just excited but so long as he paid that was all that mattered.
I locked the car and walked into the hotel, crossing the lobby straight to the elevator bank, pressing the button for the 14th floor.
Another two years, another two years.
I'd been saying that to myself for the past four years but I was still short on the money I needed to put my daughter through college.
On the 14th I stepped out of the elevator and checked myself in the mirror on the wall opposite. I looked good, a simple black dress and high heels, not too high, just enough to add an elegance to my calves and ankles.
Most people would be checking themselves on the way down to the bar or perhaps to meet a date but me? I was headed in the other direction. I checked my lipstick one last time and walked to the room, knocking twice.
Two steps back, another precaution against being dragged into the room, and a smile switched on.
Here we go again.
The door was opened by a good-looking man and I walked in.
"Hi there.. I'm Jim.. come on in."
He stepped aside to let me into the room and I noticed that he glanced up and down the corridor before closing the door, checking to see if anyone had seen me enter his room.
This wasn't unusual, probably feeling nervous about being seen inviting a woman into his room although if he was from out of town or one of my regular clients using their 'safe room' then I couldn't imagine who they thought might see them.
So first impressions? OK I'd say, kind of cute and polite.
I took his hand and held onto it as he closed the door.
"Hi Jim," I said turning to him. I made sure I was close enough to him for him to feel the warmth of me "I'm Anna, it's good to meet you. Do you have something for me?"
As I said this I glanced around the room and then spotted the envelope on the dresser. This was standard, money first, fun and games afterwards; he'd have been told about this by my agency.
"Oh, that's fine, always good to do this so we can concentrate on enjoying ourselves."
I walked to the dresser and opened the envelope, counting the bills and then placing them in my pocket book.
"So Jim" I said, walking back to him, placing my hands flat on his chest. "Are you from out of town, just visiting or...?"
It was odd I thought. There was something about him that seemed familiar but I was sure I would have remembered if I'd had business with him before.
I picked at the buttons on his shirt. He was in good shape, mid-thirties I'd guess, the same age as me. I flicked my shoes off and stood on tiptoe to kiss him, just lightly on the lips. I could smell whiskey on his breath.
"So what do you do Jim? What brings you to town?"
Hi voice was pleasant when he replied.
"I'm a lawyer and I actually just won a big case so I figured I was going to.... um well treat myself."
"A lawyer hey and a successful one and you just won a big case? Well then it's my job to treat you don't you think?"
I laughed lightly and kissed him again. He was pulling me into him, his hands on my ass, not unpleasant but perhaps a little over eager so soon. I like to start off slowly, as if my client and I are on a date, so that my clients get the real girlfriend experience.
I reached behind me and eased his hands from my ass, leading him to the bed.
"I'll have to remember you if I ever get into trouble."
We were standing at the foot of the bed and I ran my hand up the inside of his thigh but stopped short of his crotch.
"So Jim, did you have anything in particular in mind for your treat or would you like me to surprise you? We've got plenty of time to enjoy ourselves..." I stretched up on tiptoe again so I could whisper in his ear. "... but I can stay as long as you like. It would be such a pity to rush things don't you think?"
I nuzzled his ear with my lips and pressed against him before continuing. "... all night if you like."
