The alcohol was flowing....
We were all having a fantastic time at the Sunset Plaza and in attendance was Debi, Tess, Taylor, Jacqui, Jessica, Lynette, Petra, Alyssia, Christina, Sarah and myself.
The tables had not been kind to us and our winnings were gradually disappearing but Jacqui had managed to hit a streak at the card tables and it helped that the croupier was a woman and extremely sexy, the two of them seemed to be hitting it off really well.
The machines were also being hit and all the girls were spreading coins among themselves and hitting a streak too, the laughter was simply a tonic and it looked like they were having the best of fun that a casino could offer.....
I walked through the main concourse taking in the sights and sounds, enjoying the feeling of being alone...
I approached the bar and despite consuming a hefty selection of cocktails, most I might add having very naughty names like rib tickler, landing strip, sex on the beach and perversely named muff-muncher.
I grabbed a bar stool and waited for the bar tender to notice me....I turned to my side to see a man staring at me
"Whats a beautiful girl like you doing sat all alone??"
A Cheesy line indeed
"Wow, Ive not heard that one in like..........."
He laughed....
"Miguel, and to whom do I have the pleasure of sharing the bar with"
I don't tend to chat with men but his eyes were quite captivating and he had the 'George Clooney' about this manner.
"Holly is my name"
"And what is a beautiful girl like you doing in an expensive joint like this"
I paused a moment to seriously look at him, those dreamy eyes were mesmerising
"Im here with my girlfriend, we came to celebrate her birthday"
"You came all the way to Vegas to celebrate a birthday, you should British...The plane ticket alone must have cost a fortune"
"haha funny one, no I arranged all this for her...."
"She must be quite the woman, especially to have captured a beauty like you"
Cant object there, it was all true....
"So Holly, may I buy you a drink"
I looked across at him, couldn't hurt to have a drink with him, could it ?
"Sure that would be nice, but I fancy something a little different.....Scotch on the Rocks"
Miguel called the bar tender over and requested two glasses of Whisky with Ice.
"Can I ask you something personal Holly"
In my clearly drunken state I failed to notice the meaning in this and said
"Sure you can"
"What would I need to do to get a beautiful girl like you to sleep with me"
The contents of the glass which were floating around in my mouth suddenly spouted out all over the bar as I digested these words
"Excuse me ???"
At the second time of asking I turned to him
"As I said Im a lesbian, and unless u have a clit to chew on and a fantastic pair of boobs, then im afraid your not my type"
Miguel laughed again, but was unperturbed by my response..
"I was joking........of course.......but I like you Holly and would like to do something for you and your friends"
"And whats that??"
"No strings attached, take a ride in my limo, I have champagne aboard and movies"
"Your serious??"
"Of course, its not often I get a chance to share a bar with someone so lovely, lesbian or not"
**
Ten minutes later we were inside the stretch limo and everyone seemed to be having a really good time. Miguel sat next to me and offered me a joint. I had not smoked seriously since school but feeling bold and adventurous I took the offering and inhaled deeply.
I was having so much fun that I failed to register when Miguel put his hand on my thigh and whispered in my ear
"Now, what what will it take to get a beautiful girl like you to sleep with me"
My mind was foggy and I was very tipsy indeed and I leant forward and whispered in his ear
"The only way I would sleep with you is if we were married"
Silly I know and why I said it is beyond me...
"Well Holly, the good news is that can be arranged".
**
The limo took us back to our hotel and everyone got out, but I stayed inside I don't think anyone noticed I was missing...
I closed my eyes and drifted off to into another world, the joint was clearly messing with my head but I didn't seem to mind. Next thing I knew the limo had stopped again and I was walking up a path with Miguel, into a building singularly occupied by a man in white robes.
It was 3.15am and I woke up with a very groggy head pulled back the sheets and went to the window.
My surrounding were unfamiliar but fortunately Debi was still in bed and so I returned to the bed and kissed her shoulder.........but it wasn't her shoulder, much too broad and stubble too......the figure in the bed groaned and turned to face me, eyes now open.......It was Miguel and I was in bed with him...
I screamed in that instance, what the hell was I doing in bed with a man......Did we have sex??
"Hey Holly, how u feeling??"
"Confused"
"Me too, but it will be all the more clearer in the morning...Go back to sleep"
I couldn't sleep, I was in bed with a man in a room I didn't recognise so I got up and held my head in my hands.........and then I noticed it......A ring on my finger, a diamond ring on my finger...
I shook Miguel awake,
"What the hell is going on, whats this ring doing on my finger"
"You seriously don't remember do you Holly??"
"No I don't, please tell me"
"Last night, me and you ............got married"
Married??? Oh fuck no, and then it all came back to me....The meeting at the bar, going for a drive in his limo, getting smashed on drink and drugs and then..........the proposition...
Oh god what had I done...
