OK, just one more post-London story then I swear I'll move on. This one took place shortly after I got back home. Two or three weeks if memory serves. It was early on a Saturday morning when I got the call. Really early. Like British-woman-forgetting-about-the-time-difference early. Luckily, I was still on UK time at this point, so I was already up and halfway through a morning workout when I heard the phone start ringing in the hall.
Awake or not, getting a call at this hour was peculiar to say the least, so I was filled with intrigue and a little bit of scepticism when I put down the weights and went into the hallway to answer the phone. It was Gemma Chan. I'd met Gemma during my trip to England and told her to hit me up if she was ever in Los Angeles and needed a place to crash. I'd had a great time with her when we'd met in London so I hoped that she'd take me up on my offer. I just didn't expect her to do it so soon.
Turns out Gemma was flying to LA the following Monday for promotional work and said she'd love to come and pay me a visit when she was done with all her duties. As luck would have it, I had a two day gap in my schedule that week that I was more than happy for Gemma to fill.
"I have a couple of days free, if that works for you? A Thursday and a Friday."
"Oh," said Gemma, sounding mildly disappointed. "I was hoping to stay a bit longer than that. Maybe four or five?"
"Four or five
days
?!"
"Yeah." Damn. These Brits don't fuck around. "Think you can fit me in?"
Like I said, that was a lot more time than I had available, but remembering how hot Gemma was from my trip to London, I felt compelled to make some space. I told her I'd shift a few things around and once the finer details had been hashed out, I had Gemma locked in for a four night stay.
Fast forward a week and a walk, and I was stood in the doorway of my suburban hotel, watching excitedly as Gemma's rented car reversed into the driveway. The door came open and I went out to meet her, offering her a hand as she exited the vehicle. She was just as gorgeous as I'd remembered and looked incredible in the woollen grey top and baggy gold pants she was wearing. It was an...interesting look, but Gemma made it work. Honestly, I think she could make pretty much anything work.
One thing I hadn't remembered was how tall she was, and I was momentarily stunned by this five foot nine inch goddess as she stepped out of the car. Gemma popped the trunk on her rented vehicle and I fetched her case from inside it. It was a little heavier than the luggage I was used to handling, but since she was here for the best part of a week, that extra weight made perfect sense.
Gemma followed me as I wheeled her case inside and I gave her a tour of the house. Gemma seemed to like what she was seeing and I've gotta say the feeling was mutual. She looked so stunning as I was showing her around that I had to fight the urge to push her down onto the bed in every room we entered. I ended the tour with the room she'd be staying in and frankly by this point I was tired of waiting. I gave her a quick rundown of the various amenities then Gemma took a seat at the end of the bed.
"Hmm, very comfortable," she said, pressing her hands into the mattress to gauge its softness.
"Mmhmm. Sturdy too," I added, spotting the perfect segue.
Gemma grinned and raised an eyebrow. "Oh, really?"
"Uh huh," I said as I took a step forward, standing directly before her. "Here, let me show you."
Leaning forward at the waist, I placed my hands either side of her thighs as I leaned in slowly, pressing my lips against hers. I'd forgotten how soft they were, how thick and full they felt as they locked against my own. I'd also forgotten how great she smelled, even after a lengthy drive in the hot California sun. Our lips came apart and she flashed that killer smile. I returned one of my own then leaned back in to kiss her again. I shifted forward as I did so, encouraging her to lay back so I could settle on top of her. But to my surprise and immense disappointment, Gemma stayed right where she was, even pressing against my chest a little to push me back to my previous position.
"Hold that thought,"said Gemma, keeping her hand pressed against me like she was holding me at bay. "I have a girlfriend coming here. She'll be here in an hour."
Extra guests are normally discussed in advance so to say this was a surprise would be putting it lightly. I wasn't complaining, of course, but...an hour? That was plenty of time!
"Believe me, that's more than enough time for what I've got planned," I said as I leaned back, brushing back hair as I kissed her neck. Honestly, looking and smelling the way she did, I'd be lucky if I lasted five minutes.
Gemma giggled then pushed me back again. "I'm sure it is, but trust me, my friend won't be happy if we start without her."
I rolled my eyes, only half-jokingly, then took a step back. "Ugh, fiiine. So, what, you need to freshen up then?"
Gemma nodded. "Mmhmm. And you probably should as well. I'll let you know what she wants you to wear and where she wants you to be."
"Erm...OK. I'm getting some femdom vibes." Of course that's a practice I'm more than familiar with.
Gemma played coy. "Maybe. I guess you'll have to wait and see. Now run along," she said hastily, waving me towards the door. "Believe me, you do NOT want to keep her waiting."
So, yeah...that happened. I took Gemma's advice and went to my room to take a shower, wondering what on Earth I was in for when this friend of hers arrived. I got out of the shower and towelled myself dry. Gemma's friend wasn't here yet so I still didn't know what I was supposed to be wearing, so I pulled on a T-shirt and shorts. Sitting on my bed, I turned the TV on and was having a flick through the channels when my phone buzzed with a text from Gemma.
Gemma: My friend will be here soon. Stay in your room. DO NOT answer the door.
OK. Pretty simple instructions. The doorbell rang about five minutes later and I heard Gemma leave her room as she went to answer it. I could hear some muffled chatter as Gemma took her friend back to her room and the two of them went inside. I didn't hear anything else for the best part of an hour and was growing
seriously
bored of daytime TV when my phone buzzed again with a follow up message.
