The first time I ever went on holiday on my own was back in the summer of 1978 when I had just turned 18. My friend Trudy and I talked our parents into letting us have a week away in Torquay.
It was a first taste of freedom for us and we had a great time. Of course quite a few boys tried to chat us up and we enjoyed a bit of mild flirting, but we were rather strait-laced and sex wasn't an essential part of the holiday for either of us.
We were both still virgins. The furthest I had ever gone was to let a couple of boys get their hands inside my knickers, but that was only after we had been going out for several weeks - the rest got no further than my boobs!
On the Thursday we went out for an evening walk on the seafront and two lads, who introduced themselves as Tony and Dave, came up and started chatting to us. We weren't going to let ourselves be picked up just like that, so we refused their offer of a drink, and despite their protestations we moved on.
So I was a bit surprised when I walked into the hotel lobby on Friday evening and found Trudy talking to the same two lads. She explained that it turned out that they were staying at the same hotel as us and did we want to join them for a drink in the hotel bar. The way she looked enquiringly at me told me that she was up for it, so I agreed.
After we had been sat down for a couple of minutes I realized why Trudy had been so keen. She had obviously clicked with Tony, who was the better looking of the two. In the past I had always got the better looking boy, so for once the tables were turned.
I rather felt that I'd been dumped with Dave, but actually he wasn't bad looking and was reasonably amusing. He asked me what I thought of the hotel and I pulled a face and said they'd messed us around. In what way he asked. I explained that we'd booked a twin room, but they'd given us two single rooms. Isn't that better he said. Well at least they're connecting I said, but they're poky little rooms stuck right up on the top floor.
We had one drink in the hotel bar and then Tony suggested a walk down the road to another place. Tony and Trudy led the way with their arms round each other, and Dave and I followed. We chatted, but to Dave's disappointment I kept my distance.
After a couple of drinks there it was closing time so we headed back for a nightcap at the hotel bar. By now I'd mellowed a bit (probably because of the drink) and I let Dave put his arm round me.
Trudy and Tony were in front again and they soon stopped and started to kiss. "Look at them," I said to Dave. His only reply was to pull me to him and kiss me. I didn't resist and in fact after a minute I started to respond, but some people were approaching, so I stopped and we continued back to the hotel.
We had another drink in the hotel bar and Trudy was deep in conversation with Tony. She was smiling and laughing and obviously very taken with him. Then she leaned across and said that Tony wanted to see these rooms we'd been grumbling about. But laughingly she said that she didn't trust him and would only go up there if I came along for protection.
I shrugged and said yes, so we all went upstairs. The lads looked at the rooms and said they were OK and not as bad as we had made out. Then Tony took Trudy by the hand and said he wanted another look at her room. He took her through and shut the connecting door.
Dave sat on my bed and pulled me towards him. Rather reluctantly I sat down and of course he began to kiss me. His hands soon slid upwards and started to stroke my breasts. I let him do that and it was actually very nice. Then he caught me out by quickly undoing two buttons on my blouse and slipping his hand inside. I protested, but it did feel nice, so I didn't really try to stop him.
The next, rather predictable, step was a hand placed on my knee and then starting to slide up my leg. I had no intention of letting him do that, so I grabbed hold of his wrist and pulled his hand away. But he was persistent and kept trying to get his hand up my skirt. I got tired of the wrestling match that was developing and said it was time for me to get Trudy. They're busy said Dave, leave them alone, and he proceeded to maul me some more.
