I slept with a most beautiful girl last night. She was absolutely stunning, a real peach with a sweet soft face, entrancing eyes and a warm brown skin. I was head over heels in love from the moment I saw her.
Yes, yes! I know you will say well at your age they all look good, but I knew as soon as she came into the room, then lay down on her bed she was something special. Well she should be seeing what I paid for the privilege!
I loved her snubby little nose and the smooth skin of her arms and when she lay out on the bed she kicked her slip on shoes off and treated me with a look of her perfectly shaped feet and pretty toes.
I settled in beside her and glanced nervously at her drinking in her beauty as she demanded champagne. Within moments an attendant had brought her a glass but I refused one myself, I was drunk enough already with her charms.
And so we settled down for a night of passion…
Alas there was but one little hitch; I was merely a passenger on a plane bound for Kuala Lumpur and she my travelling companion. Our plane was delayed and we didn’t take off till after 11.00 pm and so in the comfort of business class we ate our freshly cooked supper, drank, spoke a few pleasantries and merely went to sleep for the night.
You want to know her name? It was Majida, it means glorious. Just like my dreams that night.
The beauty of stories like this, especially from the viewpoint of knowing where you have been and what you have been doing, is that they leave you tantalisingly wondering - True, or False? But it doesn't matter does it. Damned good read.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the rhythm of this tale, with the little twist - or hitch - at the end. You wrap it up so nicely with the last paragraph. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteYes indeed, real or dreamt..it doesn't matter really..I love the intimacy of this voice..it's very fresh..I hope you had good travels..it's very good to have you back..Jae
ReplyDeleteThis was truly romantic in the best sense of the word. Sounds like Majida made your trip quite the dream! Mine is a different kind of "hitch," but I think you'll appreciate it. Peace, Amy
