This is a true story that happened while I was working for business. For those who have read of my other 'travel adventures', this is another occasion where nothing had been planned and I went with the flow. For this story about my time working as a masseuse at a spa, I recommend reading Chapters 1 and 2 first.
I was busy with my regular job the next day, which did not matter as I was not scheduled to come into the spa anyway. But the following day was also busy. I had hoped to leave early and come to the spa mid to late afternoon, but it was just not possible.
I knew that Bill and Stacy would understand. I would never have agreed to participate without their recognition that my regular job would take precedence. Nevertheless, I did feel a responsibility to come in when I said I would.
Because I was running late, I decided to not go back to the hotel and change first as I had planned. I arrived a little after 6 pm, maybe an hour after planned. I arrived decked out in full professional gear; a tan business suit with skirt and jacket. A light blue blouse, hair up, heels.
This had been my big presentation day. While I knew this in advance, I did not know it was going to go that long. The company had invited some of their top officials from across the country to get a status report and to steer further transition activities. Everything had gone very well, even great in my opinion.
The result of all this was that I walked into the spa looking great. Compared to my previous times at the spa, and with Bill and Stacy in general, I was tonight dressed rather unusual. Anyway, good or bad timing, Bill was at the desk checking in a couple.
Bill smiled, but because he was checking in clients, he avoided normal chit chat and said, "Hi Beth. Would you please interrupt Stacy in room four?"
I guessed that they had another conflict or another overbooking situation, but did not know the details.
I knocked and Stacy came out. Before she told me the story, she said, "Wow, you look great."
I smiled and thanked her, "What's up?"
She was understanding that I could not avoid being late, but they were double booked, expecting that I would be coming. I could either take over the female client that Stacy had just started, or work with Bill on a scheduled couple's massage.
Due to time constraints, Stacy had to be brief, "Originally I thought to ask you to take Pamela and I would do the couple massage with Bill. Or at least I would have offered you a preference. Now as I am already started with Pamela, would you be willing to do the couple massage?"
I started to say how sorry I was to be late, but Stacy cut me off, "Don't worry about that, you have been clear about that kind of thing. But we need to decide."
I said, "No problem, I can take the couples massage. Anything I need to know?"
She hugged me, "Nothing special. Bill will be there, and you can follow his lead if any questions."
Stacy went back into her room and I went back out to the front desk.
The couple was still there. Bill had avoided checking them in while Stacy and I figured out who would do what.
The couple looked to be about Bill and Stacy's age, maybe late 30s or early 40s. Attractive couple. While they were casually dressed, it looked expensive casual if that makes sense. I guessed the BMW in the parking lot was theirs, but I was not certain it did not belong to Pamela.
It ended up their names were Mike and Kathy.
Kathy said, "Bill was explaining you worked here. Sorry, we were surprised by your outfit and thought that you were a customer."
I said, "Very sorry that I am late today. My day job went long and there was no way to give them a heads up. But I understand you two are scheduled with a couple's massage with us. I deeply apologize that you have had to wait."
Fortunately, both were very understanding. Mike took the initiative to ask what I did.
They had expressions of surprise upon learning I am a scientist in town for business. I got the sense they might have wanted to inquire more, but I said, "How about we get you ready and you can ask more if you like while you get your massages?"
Bill seemed relieved when they agreed that was a good idea. Because they were getting ready in the locker room, I went into our private room to change.
As Bill was in his white shirt and shorts, I would have intended to wear similar, but those clothes were in the locker room. Though it was not my original intention, I decided to wear my business bra and panty, a matching light blue, and wear the red satin robe. I was concerned about getting oil on them, as they were somewhat expensive lingerie. The problems of being late!
Bill came in while I was getting ready, wanting to give me some context. Mike and Kathy had been in the spa before a couple of times with Stacy and Bill, and things had gotten friendly.
When I started to protest that I had offered to switch with Stacy, Bill cut me off and said, "Just wanted to let you know. Maybe it will be tamer since they do not know you and because of their reaction to you being a scientist, they might feel intimidated. All that is perfectly fine, nothing is expected. I did not want you to be surprised."
While Bill was giving me the context, I had gotten down to bra and panty. I could read his mind that he liked what he saw as I put on the short red robe.
I responded, though not quite as detailed, "Stacy already told me, saying I should follow your lead, but I was not obligated. Don't worry, will be fine."
