Ok then.
I'm 37 years old, 5'8" tall, weigh 128 pounds with dark blonde highlighted hair that's wavy and cut above the shoulder. I do look after myself, I'm slim, have great legs and the only thing that jiggles when I jump up and down are my pert 34A-B boobs. I've been told I'm pretty, have a nice mouth, little nose and brown eyes.
A few months ago I had my awakening. Apologies if this makes you feel a little uncomfortable. I see you're raising your eyebrows and smiling so you probably want to know more? Ok, just so you know and I want to make this clear, I planned nothing and I regret nothing and what I did was dirty slutty fun and I won't be judged by anyone especially you.
I've been married since September 2000 and have a 4 year old child. I have a reasonable sex life with my husband. I work on the periphery of education, four days a week, which fits in with my lifestyle.
I'm getting to it so just be a little patient because I have to set the scene.
Tuesday night I was a girls night out. Nothing special but it's a regular get together with the women from my baby group. Every three months we get together.
It was only a dinner, nothing except for mediocre food and taking about children. Afterwards I found myself outside the taxi office in Bold Street. There was a small queue, I waited patiently for my turn and after around ten minutes a car turned up and I got in. A black VW Passat estate car. I checked my watch, 10:57pm.
Had I been drinking? I'll answer that, yes, and though I'm not a big drinker I had a cocktail, a Red Russian and probably around 4-5 glasses of wine. Red wine not white wine. I can't be sure about the amount of wine I consumed as it was topped up continually. For goodness sake it was an evening out so stop looking at me like that!
I was relaxed and a little tipsy though.
I got into the taxi, in the back and gave my address to him. As he pulled away from the curb taxi driver asked me why I was going home so early and I replied that I wished I wasn't. He paid me quite a few compliments which was nice. He said it was a slow night and if I didn't want to go home straight away he'd have offered to take me for drink at The Oak, a pub actually not that far from where I lived and it was on the route home. The Oak has a reputation, bit of a rough pub on the edge of two council estates, it wouldn't have be my first choice of places to go. I laughed at his suggestion, thought about it and then surprised myself moments later when I said yes. I cannot give a reason why I said yes, a moment of madness? Maybe I wanted to stay out? Who knows but it wasn't in my character to do something like this.
He parked the taxi outside on the road, we got out and I followed him. He held the door open for me and we went inside.
The Oak is a traditional drinking pub, a little rundown with a U-shaped bar. The place was dated, the paint was chipped and worn and the bar was split between two rooms. There were three people still drinking at the bar and it was already closing time.
The taxi driver obviously knew the Landlord, a bald fat 50 something with tattoos on his arms and 'love hate' on his knuckles. They knew each other well enough that it wasn't a problem to get a drink after closing time. The curtains had been closed and the door was locked after we arrived. They call it a 'Lock In' when they serve people outside of normal hours.
Why did I go to the pub with him? You're asking why again? I've already explained it to you. Spur of the moment, rush of blood to the head who knows, I agreed to go for a drink, read into it what you will.
The three others sitting at the bar were drinking their pints. One was tall and gaunt with a thin face and untidy greasy dark hair wearing an Adidas tracksuit. The second was much shorter, a round face and he had jeans and a black leather jacket. The third was a similar build to the Landlord, fat but had long greyish hair, he had mismatched tracksuit bottoms and a top and a grey probably fake designer fleece on top.
They were chatting away with the Landlord and every now and again looked over at me on the alcove seats that ran along the wall. The seats were covered in red fake easy wipe to clean plastic leatherette.
They were all around the same age, I'm not great with guessing ages but maybe late forties or early fifties?
The taxi driver asked what I wanted and I said a G&T. Sorry I forgot his name, I think he told me. Oh yes, I remember, it was John. I think?
I nipped to the toilet before I sat down.
The taxi driver brought over my drink, the Gin and Tonic, we chatted for a little while and I was probably on my second or third drink when he put his hand on my knee.
What was I wearing? I didn't say did I? Wondered when you would ask.
