You sat in your kitchen at home with a cup of coffee and the local paper,You didn't feel on top of the world, the family had gone off to work and school and you were at a loose end.
As you leafed through the paper you spotted an advert. "MASSAGE!" it said in bold letters, "let our qualified masseurs or masseuse bring your body back to life rid it of its tensions." then gave a local telephone number.
You thought to yourself "I love a massage," you had had them before and what the advert said was right, they did invigorate. You were tempted, you thought about what you had to do and there was nothing you couldn't leave until another day, so on an impulse you picked up the phone and dialled the number given.
A female voice answered and at your request she gave you all the rates and times available, she also told you that an appointment with Mr Thomas was available for 2 pm.that afternoon which you pondered on then accepted, every other massage you had experienced had been given by a female, but none were available today, therefore with slight misgivings mingled with a tremor of excitement, you accepted Mr. Thomas.
You found yourself counting the hours to your appointment, as the minutes ticked by, you looked forward to it more, You took a long hot shower and prepared yourself.
You arrived at the salon on time and presented yourself at the reception, your identity and time was confirmed, and the receptionist asked another young woman to take you up to Mr Thomas's rooms.
The girl was aged about eighteen and chatted as she took you up the stairs, she told you that Mr Thomas was the youngest and probably the best masseur they had, and was very popular.
She took you into a medium sized room, well lit and furnished, she said you should undress and wrap yourself in a provided towel and then to go through another door where she said Mr Thomas would join you. The girl left and you slowly undressed until you were naked then wrapped the towel around your body and went into the inner room.
This room was smaller, it had a leather covered massage table in the middle and a washbasin at the side, there was also a smaller table which was crowded with oils and potions you assumed, You also saw that on the wall at the head of the table was a full length mirror.
Just then the door opened and in strode a tall man, slim and good looking in a craggy sort of way and you estimated his age at about 30. He was wearing a loose fitting blue overall.
He came towards you smiling and extending his hand, "Hi I'm Gary Thomas," he said.
"Hello," you responded and took his hand.
"Are you ready to go?"
"Yes," you confirmed.
