*************************************
After a few days, during which time we followed a similar routine to that which we had previously established, Gloria broke the routine by announcing that she had someone she wanted me to meet. She described the person in question as a very likable man, mid-thirties, separated from his wife and hence very lonely. Would I please meet with him at a café? I could see nothing wrong with spending a while talking to a lonely stranger so I naturally agreed. The following day I received instructions about where to find the man, whose name was Phil, and I arrived at the café and sat at the specified table. A waitress took my order for a coffee and I was finishing this when a well-dressed and handsome man approached my table.
"Are you Mandy?" he asked in a soft, almost sensual voice.
"Yes," I replied, "Are you Phil?"
He smiled and agreed he was so I indicated he could sit down, which he did. We chatted for a few moments then a waitress approached and took his order. He asked her for another of whatever I'd just finished. We began by chatting about things in general, the weather, the resort I was staying at, and other such trivia until the waitress brought the orders, for which he paid with a twenty, telling her to keep the change. He obviously was either loaded or wished to impress me.
After that the conversation turned more personal as we shared our lives to date and before long he had his hand resting on mine as I described an expurgated version of my recent life with Stan and Gloria. In return he described his messy marriage breakup, resulting in his wife taking their two children and disappearing to places unknown. I felt very sorry for him and gently the conversation turned to the difficulties newly single people had especially meeting their sexual needs. I glanced out the window and noticed the lower light level, then noticed the time. We'd been talking here for nearly four hours. The time had simply vanished in a very pleasant manner.
"I was wondering, as we're both single and have both had difficulties meeting our sexual needs in the past, would you like to come back to my apartment? I don't know what will happen, perhaps nothing, but I do know that I like you and I do hope this isn't the last time we meet." I reddened, realizing what I'd just done. "I hope you don't think I'm too forward," I said, not really knowing what to say next but wanting to let him know that I wasn't in the habit of picking up stray men, or was I, I thought, remembering Stan. "I certainly don't usually ask men I've just met back to my room, but . . ." My speech seemed to just peter out as I thought of the past few weeks.
"No, of course you don't make a habit of this, but yes, I would love to accept your invitation. Thank you for offering. However, shall we go to dinner first or should we perhaps return to your place so you can dress more appropriately for dinner?"
I looked at what I was wearing; fine for an afternoon meeting in a café at the beach, totally inappropriate for a formal or even informal dinner. "Yes, please, can we go home first?"
"Certainly. Let's go."
Phil took my arm as we left the café and he hailed a cab which quickly delivered us to my apartment. "I'll wait here while you change," he told me.
I was so pleased that Gloria had provided me with some evening wear and I selected quickly, changing in a few minutes, slipping on my heels, lipstick, a quick hair brush, a final glance in the mirror and I was ready. I noticed a note on the hall table and took a few seconds to read it. "We've gone out for the night. Hope you'll be able to manage dinner alone. Back about midday tomorrow. Gloria." If only they knew, I thought as I hurried out the door.
Phil obviously knew the town and directed the cab to take us to a specific restaurant, telling me he knew the manager so didn't need a reservation. He paid the driver, including a large tip, then escorted me inside. I looked around in wonder at the opulence, the impeccably suited front-of-house personnel who showed us to our table, secluded in an alcove close to the dance floor with a view over the ocean, the soft furnishings perfectly color matched, the comfortable chairs and the silver service table settings, each with a candle burning brightly.
"Do you like this place?" asked Phil after we'd been seated and had the menus presented. I noted that my menu had no prices while I assumed his carried that information; classy.
"It's magnificent," I replied, still gazing around at the subdued elegance that was everywhere.
"Yes, it is I guess," he replied, glancing casually around as though seeing it for the first time.
We studied the menus, ordered cocktails and toasted our new-found relationship. Our orders were taken and the entrees appeared, as beautifully presented as one would expect in such surroundings. A string quartet had been playing softly and when they retired they were replaced by a sophisticated trio playing slow dance music.
"Do you dance?" asked Phil.
"I haven't danced for years but I did have lessons at college. I'd love to try to remember a few steps if you'll be patient with me."
"Patience is my middle name, especially when I'm with a lady such as yourself," he replied, standing and holding out his hand to me. He led me to the dance floor and we held each other in the traditional waltz position while we started moving to the music. Quickly my learning returned and soon I was following him easily and gracefully.
"You dance really well for someone who's out of practice," he complimented me.
I relaxed in his arms and slowly our bodies pressed against each other, moving together to the gentle beat of the music. The piece ended and the band began a faster tempo as we returned to our next course which had just been delivered. My steak was perfectly cooked, just as I like it, a rare feat for many restaurants but accomplished with ease here. Phil ordered a wine to drink with the meal and this was delivered very promptly. It was a delicious Californian red which complemented the meal perfectly.
Our conversation was sparse as we ate, sipped our wine and relaxed to the music. I found I was really enjoying the evening, more than any I could remember during the past few years. Once we had finished our mains, the waiter appeared with the dessert menu. I was reluctant to order anything, knowing that I would need to exercise to use the extra calories, but everything looked so delicious I couldn't refuse and ordered a chocolate dessert with whipped cream, feeling guilty as I did so. Phil assured me that I would lose it during the next little while, so I assumed he was keen to continue dancing into the wee small hours.
After dinner we again hit the dance floor, once more dancing closely together. As he held me I felt I could spend the rest of my life with this man and wondered at the stupidity of a wife who released him so easily. However, I was not about to broach this subject. During the breaks between the music our conversation took a more intimate turn. I certainly felt I could share intimacies with this man whose body felt so good against mine as we danced. I could almost imagine his naked body against me, pressing and caressing all the right places to cause me to feel wonderful and allow me to make him feel wonderful also. It was a short step from that to picturing us together in bed, naked, making love.
Phil must have been reading my mind as, at the end of our next dance together, he whispered in my ear.
"I dare you to go to the ladies room and remove your panties."
I looked into his eyes, seeing a twinkle there that was partly him laughing at my surprise and partly challenge. Dare I, I thought? We've only just met and he wants my panties off. Then I realized that Stan and I had made love after knowing each other for less time that Phil and I had, and Stan hadn't even bought me a fantastic dinner. Anyway, I rationalized, they were only panties; it wasn't as though he was going to rape me or anything, was it? No, dammit, my heart replied.
After he'd escorted me to my seat, instead of sitting down I excused myself and went to the ladies room. There I stripped off my panties from under my gown, screwing them tightly into my hand, then returned to our table.
"I have a present for you, darling," I said seductively as I placed my hand holding my panties in his.
