Barcelona is a beautiful city. It has inspiring art galleries, enthralling architecture, beautiful beaches, fattening restaurants, an exciting nightlife and a very cosmopolitan culture. It is a perfect place for having a great time and making some wonderful memories.
One summer, my fiancΓ©, Daniel, decided that he would spoil me rotten by taking me on a surprise, romantic break to Barcelona. He bought first-class flights and a limousine to take us to our hotel. When I first saw the suite we were to stay in, I felt like a princess: he had arranged to have what looked like a hundred vases of roses arranged throughout and the bed was covered in petals. There was even a bottle of Champagne on ice and two glasses waiting for us. As soon as I saw this I just knew I wanted him forever and ever.
We spent several days doing the tourist things, making love, lazing on the beaches, making love, dining out, making love and one day just making love (room service is a wonderful thing). Mostly we were so much in our own little bubble of togetherness that we barely spoke to anyone else.
However, on our last afternoon there, while we were in the hotel bar, I got talking to a girl from New York. She and her husband joined us at our table and we all got on famously. Almost inevitably, the men's' conversation turned to sport and Denise and mine turned to the wonderful shopping opportunities that the city held. I knew that Dan was itching to watch a game of soccer that was being shown on television that afternoon, so I suggested that he and Branner have some lads' time with beer and football, while Denise and I took their credit cards out for some exercise. I don't really like soccer very much, there are a few pretty boys who play, but for real hot bodies you cannot beat the rugby. Anyway, Denise and I both wanted to change our clothes, so we exchanged room numbers, agreed to meet back up in the bar when we were ready to go out and headed off to our rooms.
When I got to our suite, I decided to have a quick shower, as my hair felt horrible and I was pretty sure I had sand in all kinds of places where sand was not supposed to be. The shops were calling and I wanted to be able to answer them in comfort: you simply cannot go looking at designer clothes and shoes knowing you may leave grains of sand stuck to them. The warm water running through my hair and over my body felt wonderful, I couldn't resist standing there for a couple of minutes enjoying the firm pressure of the spray against my skin before cleaning myself thoroughly. I must have enjoyed it too much, because when I finally got out and started drying myself I heard a firm knock on the door. I quickly wrapped myself in a big, fluffy towel and went to answer it.
Stood in the corridor, with her arms folded and tapping her foot with a big smile on her face was Denise. She looked utterly stunning in a little, bright red dress that complimented her dark brown skin beautifully and a pair of patent black stiletto shoes that laced up her slender calves. She has a gorgeous figure: the kind women would die for and men would kill for. With full, but perky breasts, a slender waist, rounded hips and long, muscular legs she could have stopped traffic at a hundred paces. Her pretty face was framed by her long black hair that was straightened and styled in a way that produced an effect that you would only expect to see in glossy fashion magazines. I couldn't believe that I hadn't noticed how perfect she looked before; if I had have done there is no way I would have volunteered to go trying on clothes with this goddess! Compared with her, my voluptuous figure, home-coloured hair, and nice enough face - all of which I usually quite like - would have looked rather plain.
"You best hurry up girl," she exclaimed, "or I'll make you go out dressed like that!"
I opened the door and she walked in, her face lighting up when she saw the suite, with all the flowers. "Wow Alison! Who's a lucky girl?" She asked.
"Me!" I exclaimed, "Dan is an absolute angel. I really can't believe how lucky I am to have him."
I walked over and sat down on the bed opposite the mirror on the dressing table and plugged in the hairdryer. I felt a little awkward, being sat in just a towel, but Denise didn't seem in the least bit bothered and just carried on talking about how lovely the suite was. Once I'd finished drying my hair, I took out my brush and anti-frizz spray and started styling as best I could, although I felt it was a waste of time as I would never look as good as my friend.
"Hey, let me help you with that, hun," she said and walked over to me.
She hitched up her dress, climbed onto the bed and knelt behind me. It is always nice to have someone else do your hair, so I didn't object as she expertly brushed and sprayed. I could see her looking at me in the mirror, so I smiled at her and closed my eyes, enjoying her attentions. As she was finishing off she asked what I thought and put her hands on my shoulders, sending a shudder down my spine.
"You ok sweetie?" she asked, "I didn't tickle did I?"
"Oh, no. Not at all," I answered, "It was lovely actually."
"It's the back of my knees for me," she stated, rather cryptically, "that gets me going and makes me shudder," she explained in answer to the puzzled look on my face.
Denise hopped off the bed and knelt in front of me, placing her hands on my bare knees. "Like this," she said and placed her fingers in the crooks of my knees and gently massaged me. It felt nice, but nothing special. Actually, it felt quite awkward, but that was entirely due to the fact that I had another woman, kneeling in front of me, touching my legs in an attempt to show me what got her going!
