Chapter 3 - The Swingers Club Proceeds A Sexy Liaison With Mylène Farmer
It was not long after leaving "La Salle à manger" that I decided to view the entertainment card for the evening ahead.
The "Cabin Maitre D" was just leaving the eating area to clear up some tables when I made my tentative enquiries.
'Good evening sir may I be of assistance to you',I paused for thought and then replied 'well it's just occurred to me Madame that I haven't booked my table for tonight and was wondering what entertainment there might be available in the 3 dining areas'.
'She quickly produced a small card from her breast pocket and presented it to me whilst pointing at the options'.
I quickly placed it within my jacket inside pocket,thanked her and made my way speedily towards my cabin.
I was somewhat surprised to discover that on approaching the door to my cabin it seemed to be slightly ajar.
On further inspection it appeared that my table lamp was also on, I distinctly remember locking my cabin door and not leaving a lamp on prior to leaving my luggage in the nearby cupboard earlier.
Suddenly I realised that I was not alone as I noticed the shape of a person's body was tucked up in bed,I nearly tripped over a pair of stiletto shoes as I made my way to discover who was laying in my bed.
I quickly pulled back the duvet quilt cover to discover with shock and bewilderment that Mylène had commandeered my bed.
I don't know which one of us was more surprised,she didn't have a stitch on as she quickly pulled the duvet over her naked chest to cover her modesty.
'What the hell are you doing in my room Madame?',I snapped,she paused for breath before replying.
'Your room oh I'm so sorry Monsieur I thought it was my room,I never lock my room and as I found it unlocked I presumed that it was mine'.
This left me in a rather embarrassing situation as I contemplated my options.
'Ok I'm sorry I shouldn't have snapped,now if you would just grab your clothes and get changed I'll leave you to it'.I quickly made my exit and stood outside the buffet bar whilst staring out of the side window at the dark landscape,I could just make out the tops of snow covered mountains in the distance.
We must be in Switzerland I thought,I pondered if we had reached the "Simplon Pass" before returning my thoughts to the incident in my cabin.
I was becoming fretful and didn't need a scandal to flare up,what if someone had seen me with Mylène in my cabin?,the gossip mongers would have a field day.
ten minutes later I returned to my cabin to discover with relief that my room was empty,she had fled but she had left me a note by the bedside table.
'Sorry if I caused you any embarrassment,It was an error of judgement on my part I would like to make it up to you by inviting you to dinner'.
She left me her mobile phone number and her cabin number,discretion being the better part of valour I decided to accept her kind invitation.
I would dine at "Il Ristorante Di Venezia" at 2000,a table for two was reserved and I was now very much looking forward to dining with the esteemed Mylène Farmer.
It was now just after 1900 and I had just woken up from my afternoon nap,the whole experience of discovering her in my room had taken it's toll on me.
