I had been sat in the hotel lobby for a couple of hours, bored, just watching people come and go. I hated these business trips. There I was in a strange city, knowing nobody, hanging around waiting for business meetings. Out of all the people I had seen there were such a variety of people. Pensioners, young newly married couples, "Mr and Mrs Smith", and there were lots of those and other business types. Men and women of all shape and size all going about their daily lives.
I ordered another double brandy, determined this was going to be my last, when out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of her. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. She was about five feet ten inches tall, long flowing brunette hair and a figure any man would love to get to grips with. She was wearing what looked to be a designer business suit in a champagne colour. The skirt came to just above her knees, showing of her shapely calves. The jacket was tight, but not overly, accentuating the shape of her breasts.
I sat there transfixed by the beauty that stood not twenty feet away from me. Could I honestly hope that she would come and sit by my side? As I stared she turned her head towards me, and I quickly turned away, just not quickly enough. The next thing I knew she had sat at the bar next to me.
"Can I get you a drink? I politely asked.
"Thank you. I would like a dry white wine please." She replied.
Calling the barman over I ordered the ladies drink, realising I didn't even know her name. I thanked the barman and turned towards my new drinking companion.
"I am sorry let me introduce myself. My name is Darren, "I told her.
"That is alright, I am Kate. And thank you for my drink." She replied.
"Are you in town on business as well?" I enquired, feeling a bit tongue-tied.
"Well I am on business, just not in this town. I have an overnight stay before moving on."
"Are you here alone or do you have someone with you?" I asked.
