They met on a mountain top. It was snowing heavily and it seemed they had both been stranded in the Restaurant. The last cable-car had already left and because of the weather, they were informed that there would not be another until the next day.
Marion was a tall, well-built brunette, about 5'9". She had silver-grey eyes with a twinkle. Her skin had a bronze hue and her mouth looked delectable. She was dressed in white ski pants and a shirt, covered with a red ski jacket, which could be seen from afar.
Gary was about 6' and of a slim build. He had dark brown eyes and jet-black hair, which was slicked back. He had a very tanned, outdoor look and was dressed in tan ski pants and a long sleeved shirt, covered with a blue ski jacket.
The two of them had been sitting at separate tables but when they realised that they had been stranded, Gary wandered over to Marion's table and asked if he could sit with her.
"It looks like we are here for the night, Miss. Would you mind if I join you at your table?"
Marion looked up at him, "Please have a seat, we may as well sit together and chat. There isn't anything else to do."
They sat for about two hours and chatted about various things. Marion found that Gary was a Sales Manager in Ski Wear. She informed him that she was a Buyer in the retail industry. They spoke about their different jobs and everything that was going on in the World.
It was getting late and Gary thought that he would try and make up some sort of bedding for Marion. He spoke to the Restaurant staff, and asked if there was anything that he could use for this.
The restaurant staff quite often had to stay overnight because of the weather. When you worked in these sorts of conditions, you had to be prepared. They told Gary that there were a couple of small rooms attached to the building, and they were welcome to one of them. The other would have to be kept for the staff of three.
Gary went back and relayed the news to Marion. "I will sleep outside here in the Restaurant, and you can use the bedroom."
"No, no, she said. You must use the accommodation with me. After all, you are stranded too and have already paid for your room in the Hotel."
Gary was reluctant but eventually agreed. He allowed Marion to go first and then followed her in about 15 minutes. She had already climbed into one of the beds, fully clothed except for her jacket, leaving the other for him.
They both slept fairly well and were awake early the next morning. They entered the restaurant and were greeted by the staff, and assured them that they had slept fine. They were offered breakfast, courtesy of the restaurant. They ate and then sat and waited for the cable-car to come up.
"I think the first thing I will do is get into a nice hot bath," stated Marion.
Jokingly, Gary enquired, "Would you like me to wash your back."
She laughed and blushed.
The cable-car came up then and they boarded and were borne down to the lower slopes. When they got to the Hotel, Gary realised that they were both on the same floor.
