I raise my head and see my wife’s maid of honour standing there, hand over her mouth. This is Helen, mid thirties, hair cut into a short blonde bob, a hint of makeup and the bluest, widest eyes. We had a “thing”, briefly some years ago, a camping trip in Devon where the flirting started in the pool and ended over a weekend business trip some weeks later.
She’s wearing the same uniform as Claire, light blue cotton A-line skirt and plain white top with her name badge. She wears a plain gold chain around her neck and a matching bracelet. My heart skips a beat, I’ve not seen her in years, we all seem to have lost touch but she looks stunning, the years have been kind.
She hasn't moved, she turns to leave and as her hand reaches the door handle I hear myself say, louder than necessary "Helen, stop, don't leave".
She turns round, I can see the indecision, the concern that she has to explain to a supervisor why she can’t do this particular massage, and I feel for her. I’m naked beneath a sheet, waiting to have warm oil massaged into my skin by a woman that has applied oil to just about every part of my body in a previous life and is a friend of my wife. I have no indecision at all, this is suddenly very appealing. |
