I sat at the bar watching the people around me. I really liked going with him when he would have to be away on business trips. We enjoy each other so much. I didn't mind the time I was alone in a strange town while he was off working. We always met up when he was through and we would have time for each other then. We had been at this place before. We knew Ann, the barmaid, so he knew I was not bored.
He was at a "Conversion Workshop" and had just glanced at his watch wanting to see just how much longer he had until he could get to me. We had made plans to meet in the lounge for a drink, have dinner and then find something to do. That never seemed to be a problem for us. "One hour..." he thought to himself.
As Ann and I talked like old buddies, I continued drinking my frozen margarita. Slowly though, I knew how they could slip up on me. Ann's attention shifted as a woman sat down at the far end of the bar. It was obvious to me that the lady was upset and that Ann knew her.
"Excuse me Shay," Ann whispered as she walked to the end of the bar. The two of them were in deep conversation for about 15 minutes, then Ann began to walk towards me. She was obviously trying to get her to come join our conversation.
I watched in the mirror as the lady got off the barstool and started in my direction. She was about 5' 6," short dark hair and had a nice body. She was attractive even with the proof she had been crying showing in her big eyes.
Ann placed a coaster on the bar and put a drink on it for the lady as she introduced us, "Shay, this is my sister Lisa, Lisa ... Shay."
I looked at Lisa, smiled and asked, " Nice to meet you Lisa. You OK?"
Lisa took a sip of her drink and replied, " Yes..or I will be. Nice to meet you Shay. You from around here?"
I told her a little about me and that I was from Texas. The three of us talked for a good while. In doing so, I found out that Lisa was upset with her boyfriend of 6 years. As we talked time seem to go slow. Lisa seemed to be relaxing and enjoying the bashing we were giving her boyfriend. Ann told her she needed to go out with her friends, give herself time to cool down. She offered to let her to stay over at her place. "Get with him tomorrow and see where things stand," Ann suggested.
I agreed and Lisa seemed to be in agreement too. She would go out with some friends and deal with him the next day.
"Ann...I need another blouse. I left without anything..." Lisa stated.
I thought I could save her some time by just taking her to our room and finding her something to wear. I told her, " Lisa, I know I have something up in my room that would work, I also have my make-up there if you would like to wash your face and touch up. Please....you can bring it back tomorrow ... will save you some time!"
As Lisa and I slid off the barstools, Ann told me she would let him know I was at the room.
With that being said the two of us made it into the lobby and were waiting for an elevator. Lisa was all smiles on the way up and telling me how much she appreciated my help. She said she would be staying over at Ann's and she would be sure that Ann returned the blouse to me.
Slipping my key card in the door, I was already thinking about a light blue, off the shoulder top I had that would look great. I stepped to the closet and took out three different tops for her. When I turned, she was on the last button of her blouse and was peeling the top off. She was telling me about one of her favorite restaurants and I could hear a slight tremble in her voice. As I stepped up to her, I placed a top against her chest and began to tell her, " This looks great Lisa, your eyes work it well....Chin up! You are going to have fun!"
Lisa placed her hands over the top I was holding against her ample breast and turned away. She walked to the dressing area and looked at her refection in the mirror. Lisa looked at me and said, " Shay...he knew before we started seeing each other that I had a friend. A close friend. A female. He was ok with it. Thought it was great. He would watch us at times. I trusted him."
I saw the tears welling up in her blue eyes so I went to the vanity and got a tissue, I stood to the left of her looking at her in the mirror as she wiped her face.
"He crossed the line didn't he?" I asked. " He hit on your lady."
Lisa could only shake her head acknowledging what I just said was true. " That happens a lot ya know" she continued. " Men think they can see their lady with another lady and keep their thoughts where they should be. Keep their hands to themselves. Men look at it different. His friends are off limits to his lady...but his ladies friends are theirs to share."
"Not all," I said. "There are some that understand the rules."
Lisa looked at me with a blank stare and asked, " You play with ladies?"
Just the way she asked, I felt a rush. " No," I replied, but I could not seem to take my eyes from her bare shoulders.
Lisa ducked down a little to look me in the eye and asked, " Ever thought about it? Your eyes are telling me you have."
My mouth went dry. It was as if all the moisture went south. I caught her quick glance at my cleavage. Then Lisa commented, " You have a man here Shay?" as she picked up his bottle of Curve and held the bottle to her right shoulder. As she rubbed it back and forth, not only was it leaving his scent on her skin, but causing it to fill the room as well. She then continued as she placed the bottle on the vanity, " You sure you know what he would do if he saw you with another woman? Would he just watch? Would he please himself or would he come to the women for that? Would he come to you to please him or the other woman?" She went silent and bit her bottom lip.
I couldn't help but smile...and I could not give her an answer either.
Lisa lowered the top and seem to suck all the air from the room.
