The elevator doors opened and Harry stepped back to make room before looking up. Coming into the elevator were two angels, positive angels! Harry was stunned as one of them smiled at her and the other smirked at her reaction. The angels were both in white, wearing very thin white robes over some of the sexiest lingerie she had ever seen. The tall brunette was in teddy, the sheer white robe did nothing to cover that fact. She pulled it tight around herself, which just emphasized her amazing curves. The blond was in a bra, tap pants and stockings that looked more like painted designs than stockings. Harry had the surprising desire to run her hands up and down those long legs to see if they were actually stockings. She took her eyes away as they turned around, but then she had to look again, this time at their backs! She blushed a deep red when she realized the two angels caught her in the reflective surface of the elevator door.
"It's OK to look."
"I'm sorry . . ."
"No, don't be! We wouldn't dress like this if once in while someone didn't just appreciate it rather than slobber over it."
"Thanks, I think, you are both a bit overwhelming!"
"Overwhelming, I like that," the brunette who had smiled at her and turned in her direction.
She looked at her face and was struck again by how beautiful she looked. A perfect face, smooth cheek, wide smile, intelligent eyes flashing with humor. She couldn't help but smile back at her.
"Are you coming to the show?" The blond asked.
"What show?"
"Down in the bar, a lingerie show."
"Lingerie show, for guys or for ladies?"
The blond laughed. "Do we look like supermodels that would be doing this for fashionable ladies?" Her tone was more than a little sarcastic.
"I think you both look amazing and anyone should feel privileged to have the chance to look at you." Harry blushed deeper as she said it. She knew it was true, but saying the words actually surprised herself!
The brunette looked sharply at the blond. "It's for guys in the club on the mezzanine."
She shook her head "Thanks while watching you two would be a pleasure, not in a club full of drunks."
"We agree, but it's a living, at least here in this state."
"What's so special about this state?"
"Oh . . ." the blond started to explain.
The brunette interrupted her. "The rules are just different state to state. Well it was nice talking to you. I'm Jan by the way and my bitchy friend is Sky. We're in 1302 if you want to talk later."
"Very nice to meet you both, I'm Harry, Harriet actually, in 1603 if you need a refuge after your show."
She shook hands with the brunette, Jan. Her hand was strong and smooth. She let go of it reluctantly as the angels exited on the mezzanine level. Harry could hear the hoots and calls coming from the club and instantly felt sorry for them. There appeared to be only the two of them and they faced a pretty rowdy bunch.
She left on the ground floor and met her friends for dinner. Her friends noticed she was a little distracted. In fact she realized she was looking at her friends in a whole new way. Janie was divorced several times and was really close to Margaret, who Harry was meeting for the very first time. She had heard about Margaret several times but today the idea of Janie and Margaret being even closer was . . . intriguing! She hadn't noticed how attractive Janie was, oh she always knew she was pretty, but there was something else about her and Margaret seemed to be hovering a little protectively. Sally was another old friend she only saw when she came to town and she knew Sally was a wild child in college and the idea of Sally was percolating into mental spaces she hadn't realized she had. The distraction was that when the idea of actually proceeding down these lines of thoughts drew her back to the smile of a certain brunette Angel!
She had arranged to meet her friends for a shopping trip downtown the next afternoon and pleaded jet lag to explain her distraction. She stopped off in the hotel Sports Bar, not daring the club on the mezzanine, for a quiet drink before she went back up to her room. The elevator stopped on the mezzanine level and she was a little disappointed when her Angels didn't get on board. She could hear loud noises from the club and decided not to brave it. For some reason she didn't want to see the angels at work, she was hoping they might just walk back into the elevator. Harry wasn't sure what to do if they had. But the question didn't need answering because they were obviously still at it! Harry wasn't sure if she was disappointed or relieved.
"Knock, knock, knock!" The loud knocking woke Harry up. Her clock read the obscene hour of 3 AM. She wondered if the fire alarms had failed or something. That had happened once in DC. It wasn't a night she wanted to repeat!
"Harry? Are you there?"
She didn't recognize the voice and opened the door a crack. Jan and Sky were standing there, wearing . . . two easy to recognize bed coverlets from the hotel?
"Please Harry, can we come in, please, quick!"
Harry fumbled with the chain and let the girls in. Jan hustled Sky in and made a quick glance down the hall before closing the door and re-chaining it.
She told Sky, "They didn't come on this floor. They probably headed down not up."
Harry slowly woke up. "Are you two OK?" She said as she looked at the girls. They didn't look nearly as good as they had earlier, but they were both still beautiful! The make-up was gone, as was the sexy lingerie, they also looked pretty tired! Sky sat in the room's only chair and Jan sat on the edge of the bed. Harry stood there not sure where to perch.
Sky explained, "We're sorry to barge in on you like this. But when we needed to run, Jan remembered your room number and your refuge comment." She smiled a wan smile. "I bet you didn't think you were reading into the future, did you?"
"What happened?"
"Well, we finished our thing in the club. Like you thought, it was all guys, many of them drunk. Somehow a small group of them found out what room we were in. Just a little while ago they came knocking pretty loud, calling themselves 'Hotel Security.' They busted in the chain. God we were so scared!"
