Chapter 2: Dinner and Dancing

The taxi dropped me off at the hotel lobby. A porter opened the door for me and offered his hand to help me out. With the longer dress it actually helped so I thanked him for his good manners. Going into the hotel lobby I looked around but I didn’t see anyone who matched the photo I had seen nor did anyone approach me.

I stood around for a few minutes probably looking a bit lost and then said the heck with it to myself and found a seat in the lobby. I crossed my legs as I sat down exposing a good part of my upper leg and was pleased to see a number of heads turning to eye me - and not all of them male! Hmmm, if nothing else I bet I could have found a replacement for Dan pretty easily if he didn’t show up and soon!

I looked at my watch for what seemed to be the 100th time when someone behind me asked, “Hello, are you Kelly? My name is Dan.”

I turned to see a handsome guy standing next to me, offering me his hand. Unlike my last escort job, this guy not only matched his profile, I think it didn’t do him justice! He looked to be about six feet tall, maybe 170 pounds or so with thick curly brown hair and piercing green eyes. His complexion was a little darker and fro his accent I guessed he had some eastern European family history. He wore what looked to be quite an expensive suit with a light blue button-down shirt and thin silk tie.

I was pleased to see he was cleanly shaven even though it was later in the evening and he smelled fresh rather than sweaty after a long day. He had a pleasing smile and a sparkle to his eye that made me want to melt when I looked into them. My goodness, what was he doing with an escort? He probably could have had any girl in the place- married or not!

I must have been staring or acting stupid because he laughed softly at me and then said in a deep voice, “I’m terribly sorry to be late, I had a phone call I just couldn’t ignore. May I join you?”

I stood and took his hand. We exchanged pleasantries and then he asked if I would like to have dinner in the hotel main restaurant. I knew it was pretty classy and VERY expensive so who was I to turn it down? He offered me his arm and we walked over to the hostess station. Evidently Dan had been here before as he was greeted by name and we were taken right in even though it appeared to be quite a waiting line to get in.

We were seated at a secluded corner table and I noticed that Dan sat across the table from me and not next to me the way most guys did that had ulterior motives, especially when they were expecting me to put out. The table was set elegantly with a tall white candle and a white linen tablecloth with crystal shakers and silver dinnerware. The waiter came by with the wine list but Dan already knew what he wanted and ordered something that sounded French and expensive.

Being only twenty, I wasn’t sure if I should speak up but the waiter just looked at me and then at Dan and smiled. There wasn’t a doubt in my mind that he knew I was underage but who was he to say anything if some guy was dining with a girl young enough to be his daughter and wanted her to have a glass of wine. I has no doubt that he also knew that by doing so he was locking in one hell of a tip!

Normally I don’t drink on dates and only have an occasional glass of wine with my parents at supper. I was accustomed to good wine as my dad was not one to buy anything cheap but I had to admit whatever Dan chose was the best wine that I had ever tasted. Even so, I was careful to just sip it as the last thing I wanted was to get drunk tonight!

Dan asked me if I preferred fish, meat or fowl. I told him that I liked seafood best and he asked if I minded if he ordered for the two of us. This was cool! I felt like I was out on some wonderful date and not just an escort being given a token meal before being hauled off to some hotel room to be fucked as soon as the mandatory pleasantries had been made.

The dinner was outstanding. Like the wine, it was one of the best I had ever had consisting of several courses with salad, soup, dinner and dessert. If I had eaten everything I would have been stuffed so full I would have never been able to walk out on my own power so I just sampled a little bit of everything. We took our time and the entire meal ended up taking over two hours. During the meal we discussed a variety of topics, even religion and politics, the traditional taboo subjects for escorts!
