The other stories I have written in the Group Sex category have taken weeks even months to craft. This series came about out of a desire to produce a work quickly. There are (hopefully) going to be nine chapters in this 'Quickie' series, if they were included in a single work it would make the most implausible reading. I'm hoping that by splitting it over nine separate short stories it will be more fun and only improbable.
Enjoy.

This Departure Lounge was the same as all the others, but this time I was different. I felt alive and there was nothing that this place could do to drag me down.
I reached for my phone, Elaine's number only rang twice before she picked up, "Paul! Oh please tell me that you've called to let me know you are staying in the UK forever!!"
I laughed, "That is a very tempting thought, you have no idea how tempting!"
"It doesn't sound like you are going to yield to the temptation though," she had put on a grumpy voice.
"I'm afraid not, but I have news for you."
"Oh, do tell, will I like it?"
"I hope so. I think I have found someone who may be your first candidate for your elicit adventures."
"Tell me more darling."
"It's a lovely lady called Maggie, who I just know you are going to love."
"Have you loved her darling?"
"Elaine, I don't kiss and tell!" I pretended to sound shocked.
She laughed, "But do you shag and tell?"
"Elaine! Really..."
"You have haven't you, I can tell, you randy little sod!"
I laughed, "Yes, I met her this afternoon in Hyde Park and we did it right in the middle of the park."
There was a pause, "Oh my god that is so adventurous! I must try that. This Maggie of yours sounds like she could teach me a thing or two."
"Well... funny you should say that..."
"What, why?"
"Have you ever had sex with another woman before?" I paused... no reaction, "because if you have I think Maggie would be very interested to find out what it's like."
I waited with baited breathe, "Oh my god, that opens up so many possibilities doesn't it? Golly, I... we, err, well, no I haven't but the idea is quite appealing. Hang on! Is this just you trying to organize a threesome?!"
I laughed out loud causing a few zombies to stare at me, "No, I hadn't thought of that, but now you mention it I can't wait!
"Oh Paul, I miss you so much already. Please come and visit soon."
"I miss you too Elaine, I'm so glad that we met, you've helped change my life for the better."
"And had a good shag!"
"Yes, that too. Have you found a sporty little number yet?"
"I've got a few candidates, but not decided yet, I'll let you know."
"OK fab. I've got to go I'm afraid, Take care Elaine."
"You take care too, love you darling."
"Love you too."
I sighed contentedly, life is good.
On the plane I sank gratefully into my seat. The plane was packed, but it didn't bother me. Sleep came easily this time. When I woke I switched my phone on and was delighted to see messages from Annabelle, Elaine and Aimee.
Annabelle, was so excited about Beth and demanded we meet for coffee ASAP. Elaine had sent me a picture of her preferred sports car, a Mazda MX5 hard top convertible in black, very nice! Best of all a long message from Aimee telling me that she had been promoted to The Board of Directors!!
As the usual bustle of exiting the aircraft took place I replied to all three. They were probably the best texts I've sent in my life, I felt ecstatic! Eventually I followed the crowd through immigration and then I made my way to Internal Transfers. It was a short 40 minute hop home. As I stood in the Check In queue I started to doubt myself. Why was I going home? I had nothing there. Why not go back to the UK and spend time with Elaine and Maggie? Practicalities, that's why. I had to sort out my job, I wanted to see Annabelle. There would be time.
Suddenly I became aware of being crowded. Two uniformed police officers were on either side of me, "Please come with us sir."
Fear gripped me, "What, why, what's the matter."
"Nothing to worry about sir, please come with us."
"My knees went weak, "But.. " They both took hold of my arms and led me away from the queue. Everyone was staring. They led me down a corridor and into a small room. "What's going on!" I was proper scared now.
The two officers guided me into the room up to a desk behind which sat a rather stern looking woman. She stood up and looked me over, "Thank you for cooperating, my name is Detective Decker. We have intelligence that someone is planning an act of terrorism on a flight this evening and you match the description of the suspect.
Flabbergasted I tried to find words, "It's not me... why would I... "
Detective Decker held up a hand and her face seemed to become even more severe, "It's quite alright, this is just precautionary. If I may have your bag I will search it while these two officers conduct a strip search. I hope you understand we have to take all threats very seriously."
"A strip search, you are joking right."
One of the officers, took my arm "This way please sir," I couldn't believe this was happening, "please go behind the screen and remove all your clothes and pass them out in the basket, I will then search you."
I did as I was told, doing my best to ignore my humiliation. Eventually the ordeal was over and I was given my clothes back. One of the officers left the room to make a report to Detective Decker, the other kept me company, it's difficult to be chatty when you've just been strip searched! "Nice day isn't it?" I said with more than a hint of sarcasm.
I was ushered out and the two police officers announced they had been called to another incident. Detective Decker looked up at me and seemed to be even sterner, if that were possible! "Thank you for your cooperation."
