I loosened my tie and sat at the bar. It had been a long day but then seminar days usually are. This one was about how to make better use of your time during your working day. The irony did not escape me as I contemplated that my time over the two-day seminar would be wasted and better put to use elsewhere. Like at work maybe.
I looked around the bar and noticed a few of my fellow delegates dotted around in little groups. There was a group of about five, all men and all over fifty probably discussing which management phrase to use on their employees. Next to them sat another group, mixed males and females, laughing away and exchanging jokes by the sound of it. These were the younger element of our group obviously sent here as their bosses thought it beneficial. My memory wandered back a few years and the only benefits I could remember were that all drinks were on expenses and I might cop off with some other like-minded female delegate. Another two groups we scattered around just chatting. "Great." I thought to myself. An evening with the television and myself as company stretched out in front of me like a long motorway.
I drank the last dregs from my pint glass and was about to leave when I noticed at the other end of the bar was sat another delegate obviously as bored as I was due to the fact she was staring into her glass and looked at least a million miles away. She had shoulder length blond hair and looked to be my age, about mid thirties. She was dressed in a blue business suit with nylons to match. Heels finished of the outfit. She did indeed look stunningly attractive. "What the hell." I thought to myself and I wandered over.
"A penny for them." I said.
She looked up and smiled. "Sorry I was miles away. In fact I wish I was miles away but hey, that's for me to worry about. What can I do for you?"
"Oh nothing really." I replied. "I just noticed you looked as bored I did and thought I'd come say hi. But I don't want to intrude or anything if you want to be alone."
"No, it's fine. I take it you are also at this seminar then. I think I saw you sitting there this afternoon daydreaming." she said.
"Yep, that was me. I take it then that you are enthralled at the prospect of another day doing nothing then?"
"Oh, I can't wait." came the reply, the words rolling of her tongue in a sarcastic tone.
"Well, the least I can do is buy you a drink then. Same again?" I asked
She looked at me as if trying to guess an ulterior motive but then smiled, winked and said. "I never take a drink off a man whose name I don't know."
I smiled back. "Well in that case my name is Neil."
"Well Neil, I'll have a vodka and tonic, no ice please." she said, again flashing a smile at me as she spoke.
I beckoned the barman over. "Vodka and tonic, no ice for the lady and I'll have a Southern Comfort and lemonade please." The barman shuffled off and busied himself making the drinks, placing each one down in front of us. I handed him a fiver and mumbled that he could keep the change. Off he went after thanking me. I looked at the lady next me. "I also have a rule. I never allow the lady to drink her drink unless I know her name." And with that I took her drink and placed it next to mine.
"In that case Neil, my name is Jenny." she said in mock coyness. Like a teenager she looked up at me and fluttered her eyelids.
"How can I resist that look." I said and moved her drink back to her. She reached out and our hands touched fleetingly but long enough for me to notice. She picked the drink up and brought it to her lips to drink. She winked at me as she drank and I smiled back. She beckoned me with her finger and I moved my head down to her.
"I have been looking at you all day and I think you are very sexy." she whispered into my right ear. "How about we leave these drinks, go my room and get to know each other better. My pussy is soaking wet for you. My panties are drenched, as are my tights and I want you."
My heart missed a beat and I was sure I was dreaming. Here I was, with someone I had know for at least five minutes and she was offering herself to me on a plate. It was unbelievable to say the least. "Are you sure?" I whispered back to her. "I mean you have only just met me. I could be a mass murderer or something.
