It was strange, I thought I recognized her. I was alone, finishing my late dinner alone, only a lone wine glass left on the table; I was ready to pack it up and go to sleep. I saw through the doors into the bar area and this figure sauntered up, kind of woozy walking, so it caught my eye. I was at this beautiful hotel I love on the hill overlooking the charming bay and the surrounding cities. I had an outdoor table away from the fray, secluded in the back part with a great view. The area was empty because the air was heavy with the threat of rain, but so far it was dry.
So from a distance my curiosity was piqued, as I said I thought I recognized her. It had to be Miche, her hair, sharp and black, curly and flowing in a wild but deliberate style, her all black clothes. It was her, I could see, even far away. She sat down at the bar and pulled out a cigarette, ready to light up. The bartender handed her a menu and spoke directly to her; she put her cigarette away, I suppose he told her it wasn't allowed.
My server came up and asked if there was anything else I wanted. I quickly took a chance and told him, two bourbons, straight, one to that woman in black at the bar, and get it to her quickly. He glanced over to look and nodded. I saw him say something to the bartender.
We were at a festive art opening that afternoon with some fancy ass rich people and some amazing art being horse-traded for large sums. Red was in town for the event, doing what looked like a lot of buying. Miche, who I recall ran a gallery in the Southwest someplace was there and we chatted for quite awhile over champagne and snacks. I had known her a little bit for about 5 years, mostly at events like that, but never really anything more. She and Red kind of disappeared and while I was disappointed, I didn't think too much of it. Thinking back, I actually had hoped to spend some time with Red tonight, he was staying here at this hotel but told me he was leaving tomorrow. It had been a long time, probably over a year since we had enjoyed each other's carnal pleasures, and I guess being alone I wanted to refresh that memory.
My drink was delivered and I took a generous sip and looked over at the bar at the exact moment Miche was served hers; the bartender pointed in my direction. She stared at me a long while, not seeing me, or perhaps not recognizing me. She got up, walked in my direction and when she exited onto the patio area and saw my face, hers broke out in a smile.
"Di, oh my Jesus, what are you doing here girl?"
"I'm staying here, just had some late food and was getting drunk by myself when I saw your bedraggled self sit down there," I responded.
She was so pretty, just a gorgeous package of dark eyes, those curls, the long neck and fine figure, the ample breasts, and the ever present boots. Always very well put together, now she was pretty disheveled; the hair a mess, her mascara messed and running. Her clothes were rumpled and she seemed immediately in some kind of crisis. I was a bit afraid something had happened.
"Thanks for the drink, you saved me from having to make a decision. Mind if I join you?"
"Please. If I can say so Miche, you look terrible. Are you ok?" I asked.
She hesitated, looked at her drink, took a large swallow, "Yes, I mean, I'm not hurt or anything. I'm ok."
I waited in silence, taking a quiet sip, knowing she'd continue if I gave her space.
"You've been with Red before, right?" she asked me.
Taken by surprise, I waited a moment, "Well yeah, we got together a long time ago. I love him forever, but we only see each other infrequently. Probably less than once a year. Why?"
"Did you know we were together about 30 years ago in this city?"
"I had no idea"
"And I hadn't seen him for over ten years before today's opening. He sent me an invite knowing I live here. I didn't even know you'd be here. I glad we hung out today, that was fun, that crowd is way too much for me."
"And..." I questioned.
"We'll after he was done with his business and chatting up everyone important he asked me if I wanted to get out and have dinner. I was thrilled, it had been a long time and I missed him. I mean that's a long time."
The waiter walked toward us and I caught his eye, signaling for two more. He turned around toward the bar. I pulled out my vape pen and took a long toke, offering her a drag.
"They just slammed my cigarette, I'd love to, is that ok here?" she asked.
"Probably not, just keep your head down," I told her, passing her the pen. She drew hungrily on it.
I continued waiting in silence, starring at her very pretty face, now noticing more details. Her cheeks had a light brown coloring smeared on them, faint in this light. Her lipstick was blurred, and there was some caked dark substance around her nose, I couldn't see clearly. I noticed her bosom was also tinted a darker hue than her natural skin tone. I wondered what happened. The cannabis started slowing everything down, you could see her relax a bit. Our next round arrived and we sipped in silence.
She took another very long drag, held it in for a while, and looked me in the eye, and exhaled into my face in a gentle, but intimate way.
I held her gaze, then, without pretense, or hesitation, one of those things you just know is the right thing to do, kissed her gently on those lush lips. She didn't move away, rather moved into the kiss, her soft lips pressing against mine for a long moment, our eyes now closed.
"You want to tell me more?" I asked.
She put her hand on mine, took another swig, and related the story.
"We had a great dinner as usual, you know Red," then he naturally invites me back here to his room. We have a drink and start up. Pretty soon we're naked on his bed and getting hot. Should I continue, is this too self-indulgent of me?"
"Oh jeez," I said, "go on, please, my night has been boring, better I live it through you," I was getting hot imagining the flesh and wetness about to happen.
"Well, he fired me up, you know Red, we were fired up, messing around, then he was in me. Hard. My cunt was on fire."
My imagination started connecting the dots visually, I was thinking about this beautiful specimen naked with Red's cock in her cunt.
