A young PA recently joined our team at work. She was diligent, eager to learn and always pleasant company. Everyone assumed that she was either Spanish or possibly Italian on account of her olive skin and dark hair. It turned out that we were all wrong; her parents were from Chile.
The job entailed frequent travel to our hotels in the UK and overseas. At the time I was in charge of those situated in the Gulf States. On one trip I took Martina with me because we needed help with a large restructuring project. Revenue and occupancy at our two hotels in one city had fallen considerably behind that of our rivals. Something needed to change and the meetings had to be done formally and on the record. Martina was invaluable in making sure there was an accurate record of the conversations that were had.
Even though we were both single and away from home, it never occurred to me to take advantage of the situation. Our age difference for was huge, she was in her mid-twenties and I was in my early sixties.
We did, however, get to know each other professionally on that trip.
On the flight home, she did mention that her mother was coming to London from Chile and wondered whether I would like to meet her. She said that she was restless for travel and new experiences after her divorce.
The secret to being a good hotelier is that you go out of your way to be a good host. I said I would be delighted and that I could arrange a nice hotel for her at a staff-discounted rate.
I had also recently split up amicably with an on/off girlfriend I’d been seeing for about a year. So I was also divorced and single.
A few days later, Martina said that her mother had arrived from Santiago and was looking forward to seeing London and beyond. I offered to take them both out to dinner after work.
I had no idea what to expect a fifty-something, Latin American woman would look like. I couldn’t have got it more wrong. If the daughter was incredibly pretty then the mother was a stunner. She was about medium height with rich auburn hair and tanned olive skin. She had incredibly flirty green eyes.
Dinner was a roaring success, we all hit it off immediately and relaxed in each other’s company. Carla was dressed simply but elegantly. She wore a white blouse, black trousers and some very exotic metal jewellery. She was confident, attractive and incredibly good company. Her English was superb, far better than my limited Spanish. She spoke with a soft and very sexy accent.
I was getting some incredibly good signals from Carla and made it obvious that I would like to see her again during her trip.
I had chosen a restaurant that was close to Carla’s hotel. After settling the bill Martina and I bade farewell to her mother and walked to the nearby tube station. At the barrier, I said I thought I had left my phone at the restaurant and said I was going back to get it.
I didn’t go to the restaurant, I headed straight to Carla’s hotel. I used my company pass to get into a lift and headed straight to the tenth floor.
I knocked on the door and Carla let me in immediately. I had not misread the signals. We were kissing within seconds of me getting through the door. Our embrace was deep and our tongues entwined as we kissed. I let my hand drop down to her bum and was delighted with how firm she was.
Carla broke our kiss and said in her soft sexy voice, “Why don’t you make yourself comfortable, while I take a quick shower.”
While Carla headed to the en-suite bathroom I ordered a bottle of Chilean wine from the bar. It arrived just as I heard the shower pump stop.
