We laughed, we had fun, we played backgammon, and all the while, there she is across
from me with that very sexy red dress of hers on, teasing me with a folded leg every
once in a while. I then asked her to step outside with me – I had a surprise for her –
a limousine parked outside, waiting to whisk us away. She entered it with me, her
dress now showing all of her leg, and away we went, my arm around her, both of
us laughing. I had the driver bring us all the way downtown to Battery Park, where we
got out and walked around, talked, getting deeper into our characters, and enjoying
the sun going down across the Hudson while we stood at the foot of the harbor. I
can’t remember much of our conversation, but the only thing on my mind was my
next move – a limo trip back to the hotel room I had reserved for the night. She
readily agreed to join me there, and I thought I was In Like Flint. We brought up a
bottle of wine to the room, a very nicely appointed room, and sat down on the floor,
opened up the backgammon set, and flicked on the TV. I had made a cassette (remember
those?) of sexy songs, and put the tape on the tape machine I had brought up to the room.
So the mood was set – and after I while I asked her to get up and dance. She did so,
and we began dancing, my body about on fire by now for this girl who I hadn’t tasted
in exactly one year. Yes, after all this time working together, I was hoping for a
night of unbridled passion. What happened next was simply stunning, as I had just
begun to kiss her neck. In the space of about 12 seconds she did the following – said
she didn’t really want to be doing this, walked over to the bed and picked up her
pocketbook, walked to the door, opened it, turned to me, said goodnight, and left!!!!
It was like someone had put a knife through my heart. Just like that, after this
great buildup all evening, she was gone like a puff of smoke. After drinking
a couple of glasses of wine, I then did the only sensible thing – I called up an
Asian outcall place and had them send someone over! She was there to get
things done quickly, and then leave – which she did, leaving me more upset than
I had been after my good buddy had left.
This all occurred on a Friday night, and when I saw her at work the following Monday,
nothing was ever said about this – never again was this night spoken about between us.
This remains to this day the most pathetic, failed attempt at seducing a woman I wanted.
I long ago got over this – it’s like it occurred another lifetime ago. I have only one
question – how could she do what she did – go that far – and then just run away??
She had to know this ending would crush me.
