I received some interesting suggestions and when I mentioned them to Tara she immediately agreed that we should try them out on a suitable candidate.
We both dressed with care and sat outside the coffee shop, checking the other customers. There was nobody the least bit interesting
We waited for a while but it didn't look promising. I suppose you can't win them all. We gave up and went home for a bite to eat.
Next afternoon we were there again. We would have to find someone hopeful soon as my husband would be back from his overseas business trip in two days.
We were well into our second cup when a well-dressed young man sat down. He looked like a businessman as he carried his laptop under his arm. We smiled at one another.
He ordered and placed the computer on the table and proceeded to type away. Better still.
Tara sauntered past him, tripped and put out her hand to steady herself and closed the cover. He looked startled, but when she smiled sweetly and apologized profusely, he cheered up.
She put on that little girl lost look and he asked if she would care to join him as he had been in the country for a few days and hadn't met anyone outside his business environment. Things were looking up.
She glanced in my direction and sat down demurely. She took out a cigarette and scratched in her bag for a light. The polite gentleman offered her one and got a good look at what was on offer down her low cleavage. He put his computer on the ground and leaned closer to talk to her.
I watched the animated conversation and was not surprised to see that Tara's skirt had rucked up, showing a good deal of thigh. She knew all the moves.
After a little longer, she motioned in my direction and he stood up and gestured for me to join them. Oops. Hope I don't let her down. "Mum, this is Brian. Brian, Liz." His astonishment was enough to make us both laugh.
He was obviously trying to get his head round our set-up. Where would he fit into this threesome? I could have told him. In the middle, Brian. To give himself time, he offered to buy us a drink and we accepted. Things were hotting up
Tara gave her usual little spiel, of 'would you care to have a meal with us as you are a stranger here' and as always, the man refused and offered to take us to his hotel where he could order in. They fall for it every time.
