Youth. Too dumb. Too arrogant. Too blinded by good looks and fat wallets.
Shallow. Young.
A one night stand with a stranger. A meeting in a hotel room.
So many things could have gone wrong. I could have died. Been chopped up into a million pieces.
I could have gone missing. Kidnapped.
I could have been raped. Wait. I kinda sorta was. But that was a different story - that was boyfriend number 1. Not the strangers I met in bars and hotels...
But here are my stories. Some involve sex. Most don't. But all were risks I shouldn't have taken.
~~~~~~~~~~
He was alone at the bar. I was working part time at the club. He was tall and handsome and was in town for a couple of days.
"Come up for a chat?" he asked. I said yes. Dumb. He was decent enough to let me leave when he made the moves to get 'romantic' and I politely declined. I got lucky.
~~~~~~~~~~
"Come spend the weekend with me on the island!" He was an intern at the hotel where I worked. He was young. He was cute. His dad was Swiss and his mum was Indonesian. He was a lovely mix of caucasian and exotic. They owned a beach resort property on the island. I was excited. Told the parents I was out of town with girlfriends. Rang the girlfriends and had them cover for me.
We had sex. It was bad. I gave him a blowjob. I was dumb. Who knew what I might have caught.
He went back to wherever it was he calls home. I never thought to look him up after that.
It was the only time I ever rode a jet ski.

"Let me show you something cool..." he offered to drive me onto the tarmac. I thought, what could it hurt? He was an airforce pilot. I think. I can't be sure. But he was safe, right? "Imagine, you are standing on an actual runway! Planes take off here!" He seemed more excited than I was.
He ran in the same circles as my brother and his friends. He knew I knew the same people. He wouldn't be an ass right? I got a free meal. He got a blowjob.
And I worked at the airport. I'd been on the tarmac/runway millions of times.
~~~~~~~~~~
"Are you serious about blowing this joint and coming home with me?" Sure, why not? I was single. He was a friend of a friend. Had a pretty face; had his own place.
We bought condoms.
He couldn't get it up. I went home. I got more out of locking lips with his ex earlier on back at the pub. Now that girl could kiss.
~~~~~~~~~~
"I brought you soup and noodles" he texted me. He was at my lift lobby. How sweet. How stalker-esque.
He wanted something in exchange for the dinner. Which he brought me because I was ill.
I said no. He insisted.
I gave in. Better just let him fuck and leave, than get into a fight and have the living daylights knocked out of me.
It's just sex. Right? I deleted his number and blocked it.
~~~~~~~~~~
"I'll give you a lift home. Bygones, ok?" We had been childhood friends. Same church. Same playground. Same friends.
My boyfriend at the time slept with his then-girlfriend. Melrose Place you say? You have no idea.
He was pissed that I didn't keep my guy in line. What? Why is that MY job? They broke up. I didn't. I was dumb.
(The boyfriend went on to have many more flings behind my back - this was the one I broke up with on Christmas eve.)
Eventually he stopped talking to me because he was sore that my guy ruined his relationship.
We met again many years later at a mutual friend's barbeque. It was late. The buses had stopped running. Cabs were expensive. He was extending an olive branch.
I was wrong. He wanted to stick another branch in me, is what he wanted.
"He got to fuck my girl, it's only fair I get to fuck you." He didn't manage to. I fought back enough to be too much trouble.
But I made a police report anyway.

That's how he probably saw himself. |

He was in med school. "I can't bring you anything prescription, but I CAN get you OTC lozenges."
I was working in a hospital. I could have quite easily gotten my own drugs. But he had driven 30 minutes to get the Dequadin to me. And waited 20 minutes till my lunch hour.
I was touched. My sister introduced him to me. No. Her friend knew a guy that they both thought would be perfect for me.
He was. Until I realised he wanted to be perfect for everything on two legs in a skirt.
He wined and dined me. And I can't even remember if we fucked the night he took me home to his place at 2 in the morning after a night on the town.
I don't know if I slept with him. But I know 4 other people who did. That's the thing about introducing a good-looking-rich-guy-with-a-future to your gal pals.

McDreamy or McSteamy? Or BOTH? |
