"Thinking back on it, now, I don't really know how they ever talked me into it, much less the consequences of what was going to happen. But I found myself in the Rover's in a boozy lunchtime session with Deidre and Liz, it wasn't arranged or nothing, but I'd been hearing these rumours about what they'd been getting up to and what with Deidre's handsome young lover, well, I suppose I was a bit curious. We'd had quite a few, then Deidre suggested we go back to hers for me to meet Rafiq himself. I don't remember agreeing, but I don't remember objecting either, but it was suggested that if I was up for it, I could, you know, 'sleep with him', it had been a while since I'd been intimate with anyone, me and Kev had split up, again, so I just thought we'll see what happens, shall we? And went right along with it.
"When we got there, Rafiq was out, so we had a few more drinks. Then Liz suggested why not dress me up for his return? I wasn't sure what she meant, but before I knew it Deidre was plastering make-up on me: bright-red lipstick and loads of mascara, right tarty. Then Liz starts undressing me, drunk as I was, I couldn't help noticing her hands, sort of lingering on me, sort of caressing a bit, I'd often wondered whether she was a bit, you know, 'that way'. Then Deidre gets out this costume out for me and they both get me into. I look in the mirror and I swear, I gasped and put my hand up to my mouth, I have never blushed so much in my life. They'd dressed me as a slutty schoolgirl: tiny little pleated skirt that barely covered my bottom, a white satin blouse that they'd tied above my waist -you know, like Britney in that video?- white knee-high socks and they'd even pinned a little cap to my hair. Even though I'm way too old to ever pass as a kid, I was still really shocked, but at the same time... well, my nipples were really hard and showing through the satin, I was starting to get a bit wet, down there. I think she must have sensed it, because right there and then, and completely without warning, Liz, she just kissed me, full on, open-mouthed, holding the sides of my head to hers. I could feel her tongue in my mouth and although I tried to pull away, well, somehow, deep inside, I found myself sort of liking it.
"Then Deidre called Liz's name, in a sort of warning way and she just broke off. I looked across the room and there he was, Rafiq, standing at the door. Liz and Deidre left without saying anything to him, I don't think they even looked at him, they just went, like they were his servants or something and closed the door behind them . He was naked apart a towel round his waist. I just stood there, staring at him. He was very good looking, youngish, firm, lean muscles, that gorgeous coffee-coloured skin and his dark features. But them eyes. They were hypnotic and staring, sort of commanding, you'd say.
