I remember it well, January 1979...one of the biggest winter storms N.E. Ohio had. I was working in downtown Cleveland, it was five o'clock right after work when the snow was already about a foot deep and still falling. Being a young adult at the time it all seemed fun to me, my friend Mel and I met at the old terminal tower lounge for drinks after work. We enjoyed the company of her coworkers who were very entertaining. We talked, drank, laughed, and drank more not paying attention to time. At eleven-thirty we decided it was time to move onto our next weekend adventure.
We made it outside and started to laugh at the amount of snow, at least three and one-half feet now! The city was snowed in, no cars, no buses... hotels were putting people up for the night. We made it to a nearby hotel, the desk clerk already knew we needed a room. She explained we would have to wait until the room was ready and showed us the restaurant. We eagerly headed in, sat and ordered munchies and more beverage. Still giggling at our new unexpected adventure we were approached by two men, asking if they could join our table since there was no room anywhere. Mel glanced at me, winked and smiled.
We agreed and let them join. They introduced themselves...Mitchell and Michael. After initial chat, I could feel Mel's foot nudging mine, I look her way and she excused us and almost dragged me to the ladies room. Once inside I fell onto the sofa and questioned her motives. Mel smiled a devilish grin and asked if I noticed how handsome the two guys were. Of course I noticed I exclaimed. Mel then asked me if it was ok if she sort of got together with Michael...sure I told her. We returned to the table, and Mel using only a fraction of her sensuality began to capture Michael's full attention.
I turned to Mitchell and attempted more small talk, I was not very good at this. Mitchell was dark and handsome...bronzed skin black man with hazel green eyes that seemed to sparkle like the falling snow. His build was strong and muscular with a great ass...yes I was not totally geeky!! He was a great conversationalist who made me feel comfortable. Music had started to play, it was upbeat and Michael and Mel were up and dancing. Mitchell and I watched them and smiled, they were getting very friendly on the dance floor.
I saw Michael's hand slide behind Mel's tight fitting skirt and squeeze her bum, Mel responded by moving her hips closer to him and moving very slowly against him. I was getting warm just watching them. Mitchell cleared his throat turned to me as our eyes met I blushed...I felt he knew what I was thinking and feeling. He asked if I wanted to dance, I quietly declined explaining after this evening I doubt I could get up and dance. He agreed, and started to explain his plans for the evening...how there were no more rooms, and the hotel offered to let some people stay in the lounge.
He wanted to get home since sleeping on a lounge floor or chair did not appeal to him, we both sighed. My eyes were still on Mel and Michael, their activities have progressed to making love with their movements. I couldn't believe my eyes when I noticed her blouse opened, and the large bulge Michael had. I hadn't noticed Mitchell watching me watch them, he let out a low chuckle and exclaimed how sexy my mouth looked when my lips were slightly opened. My head spun back to him only to see those green eyes sparkling into mine.
Mel and Michael came back to the table just then. They were flushed and breathless. Mel grabbed my hand saying come on all...lets go to our room!! I tilted my head and followed...Mel got the key from the desk and all four of us made our way to the elevators. Mel pressed the top floor, I started to protest because I didn't want a ride...Mel showed me our room keypass and sure enough it was the top floor. I couldn't believe it we were given a great apartment like suite with all the accommodations, stocked bar, large screen TV, movies adult of course, and three bedrooms all with super-king beds. This was great.
Mel immediately took Michael to one of the bathrooms leaving Mitchell and I alone. Mitchell smiled taking my coat and bags and hanging them in the closet. I felt nervous now... I was not like Mel who could just let go. Oh, I wanted to but just didn't know how. I started to apologize for the storm, my actions or lack of them and everything...but Mitchell wouldn't have it. He took my hand led me to the love seat and started to talk about how they got stuck downtown, and continued to explain a lot about himself...where he worked, who Michael was etc. I was more relaxed by his easy manner. He found the remote and turned the television on...yes the channel was already set for the erotic movies.
