Before long Dani was surrounded by teachers. All moaning about workload or something?
"Hey Bob? How's it feel being the host"
"Same as always" she shouted back at Lydia "like I haven't a fucking clue what I'm doing." She spots Dani, "you're new" she smiled, "Roberta Messina"
Dani grinned, "your nonno from Sicily?"
"sì"
"anche il mio. i miei sono di Lipari"
"con che scuola sei?"
"Inverclyde."
"qui con Isla"
Isla heard her name and looked over. She smiled at Dani.
"con Isla?" Bob winked.
"sì. Con Isla" Dani smiled.
"Buona, lei è una brava donna. controllala"
"I intend to. She is" Dani looked at Isla who was talking to Brian.
"You were the woman shouting about the sex shop earlier" another voice joins the table.
"Hey Doris" Bob replies for the group and looks at Dani. "Hope you went to Karen's"
"We did" Isla shouts over, with a smirk.
"You know we messed about a few years ago, best sex I've ever had in my life. Just don't tell my wife" Bob laughed. "She was pretty dom, she likes woman who are a little bit shy. So they will submit to her. Guess that's why we didn't work. I submit to no one" she laughed, "but it certainly was fun having her try"
"Told you" Dani said across the table, to Isla "she liked you?"
"She said to Isla, so you're the shy one"
Bob laughed, "aw Isla you were in there".Brian who was the only male at the table was starting to look a little uncomfortable.
"Doris, where's Gordon?" Brian asked looking to balance up the gender balance. "He's trying to chat up the news woman"
"What Fiona Bruce."
"No Kirsty Fullerton, think she did Breakfast for a bit"
"Oh yeah I remember her, blonde bird."
The entire table of women just looked at him. Except for Dani who was used to language like this from the guys in station.
"Brian, come on your better than that" Doris laughed.
"Sorry, blonde lady." He pulled a face.
"Oh, So she's here then" Isla asked excited.
"Oh it's all coming out now; trips to sex shops and crushes on tv hosts" Bob laughed.
"Yeah when I was younger, she was like my fantasy woman"
Dani looked over, she wasn't totally sure she knew who they were talking about. But if it was who she was thinking of. She looked a lot like Hannah
"She looks like your ex" Lydia said.
Isla reddened, really never thought about it, "maybe a bit".
I am so far away from a fem blonde Dani thought.
"So when's this panel thing starting?" Doris address Bob.
"No idea, according to the schedule about 15mins ago." She shrugged her shoulders. "At this rate there will be no time for the silent disco"
"Silent disco?" Asked Gordon joining the table.
"Yeah the kids all get headphones, we get peace." Bob smiled. "How'd you get on trying to pull Kirsty"
"Yeah think she liked the Campbell charm" he smiled. "Nice woman actually. She's not doing much broadcasting at the moment. She is taking a break she has M.E."
"Sounds like a great pick up conversation!"
"Fuck you" Gordon smiled. "Wish they'd let us drink. Make the night pass quicker"
Dani checked her watch. 843, is that all. I want to be upstairs with Isla already.
"Hey" Paige smiled at the table.
Dani noticed the atmosphere change.
"Hi" Lydia replied.
"Is Hannah not here?"
"No" Doris said.
I think the whole group probably know. Well maybe except for Dani. They also probably all knew before me.
"No, you'll have to find someone else's wife to fuck tonight" Bob said it. Isla looked embarrassed.
Paige walked away.
"You all knew?" Isla's green eyes looked hurt.
"No, well yeah. Gordon seen them go into Paige's room last year. We didn't really know what to do. Or what exactly happened." Bob looked embarrassed.
Isla nodded. Dani gave her the are you okay look.
"Yeah" Isla said. "She was with Paige a few times over the debate weekend last year. And the year before. She told me about them all. Every single one. Well those she could remember anyway" Isla gave a sad half laugh. "Excuse me a minute". She left the table. Dani followed her.They entered the ladies in the hotel lobby. Tina Turner's what's love gotta do with it was playing through some tinny speakers in the corner.
"you okay?"
"Yeah, just wanted a minute. I don't know what's worse the fact that she cheated on me or that so many people seemed to know and no one ever said a thing. Or how long it would have continued if I hadn't outright caught her. I, suspected and asked her once and she laughed at me like I had said something ridiculous. But also said, would you blame me if I was, I mean look at yourself. She thought I was drab. Overweight. Sex was boring, she told me once that she would fake it just so I'd stop trying, because she'd rather get a good nights sleep" Isla sighed.
"I'm crap at this. I never know what to say. It's hard for folk to tell someone they suspect their partner is cheating. But I guess what I can tell you is. You are beautiful and I love making love to you, the way you touch me, make me feel. I love your body. Sex is far from boring. I can't get enough of you. I looked at my watch earlier and went is that all the time it is, I want to be upstairs with Isla already"
Isla smiled. "Come here" she pulled Dani into a cubicle.
