"Is that her?" she asked, quietly, as a beautiful, full figured woman walked by. A slow nod was all the answer she received, all she really needed. The woman kept walking past, her long, brown hair blowing in the wind.
"I like her," the observing woman said, licking her lips in anticipation of what was to come. A sharp smack on her rear end let her know that her companion felt the same. "Can we do it tonight? Can we, please?" she practically begged him. His hand softly caressing the spot he had so recently smacked left her smiling, almost purring. They were going to do it tonight.
The woman who had been the object of observation continued on down the street. It was getting late, but she rarely got to spend any time just to herself anymore. With taking care of the family and school, she had so little time to spare. But she got lucky and had decided to take advantage of it.
She debated what she should do. A movie might be fun but nothing on the marquee had captured her interest. She tossed out the idea of going to a bar because she did not want to spend the whole night fending off the amorous advances of drunken strangers. She was still contemplating her options when she walked past a small restaurant. The smells wafting from the tiny hole in the wall caught her attention and for just a moment she was transported back to Italy where she had once been stationed while serving her country in the Army.
She had not had any Italian food that even came close to equaling the food at the local restaurants just off the post. Mouth watering at the smells and still half lost in memory, she turned into the restaurant and found a table to sit at. She didn't even notice the couple who followed her in and found a table not too far from hers.
She ordered and hoped, prayed, that the food tasted half as good as it smelled. After only a short wait, the restaurant was not very crowded, her meal arrived and she took her first, tentative bite. She smiled, very satisfied at the quality of the meal. While it was not quite as good as she remembered from her time abroad, it was much better than she had found since she had returned to the "Land of the Big PX".
As she ate, the waiter came by and placed a drink in front of her. She tried to protest, to declare that she had not ordered a drink but the waiter had already slipped away. She sighed and took a sip, savoring the slight burn that worked its way down her throat. As she drank, a beautiful blonde walked over to her table and asked if she could sit.
"My friend had to leave and I do so hate eating alone. Can I please sit here with you?" the blonde asked, innocently. She slipped into a free seat and extended her hand. "My name is Karen."
The brunette nervously shook the offered hand and said, "Shari. Why did your friend have to leave?"
"Work or something. He never tells me anything."
Shari shook her head, wondering how she would feel if her husband ever tried that on her. Her initial nervousness began to wear off as she looked over this blonder stranger before her. While Shari may not act on her interests, women did interest her, although the blonde was a bit skinnier than she usually found attractive in a woman. Shari generally preferred a full figured woman much like herself.
The two women sat, sipping their strong drinks and enjoying their very delicious meals. Eventually, they realized that two hours had passed. They got up and Shari reached for her purse but Karen playfully slapped her hand away. Karen paid for both their meals and they walked off together, laughing and smiling at the way the waiter could not take his eyes off of them as they exited.
They passed by a hotel and Karen stopped, explaining that she needed to stop off in her room for a moment. Shari was a bit nervous but agreed to follow Karen up to the room. They entered the nice hotel and took the elevator up to the top floor. They quickly ended up in a large suite and Karen entered the bathroom. The sound of running water softly filtered out and Shari began to look around.
It was probably one of the nicest hotel rooms she had ever been in. The bedroom was off to the side and the living area was nicely furnished. Karen's voice rang out, inviting Shari to help herself to a drink from the bar if she wanted. Against her better judgment, Shari did so, pouring herself a small drink from a bottle chilling on the bar.
She sipped at the liquor and sat down in a large, comfortable chair. She felt her eyes grow heavy, sleep creeping up on her like an irresistible fog. She set her glass down and tried to stand up, failing and falling back into the chair as Karen stepped out of the bathroom, toweling her hands dry. A wicked smile crossed Karen's face as Shari finally succumbed, falling into the deep slumber that had crept up like a thief in the night.
