BEEP: Dead excited about tonight are you?
BEEP: Maybe J See you on the train at 6 x
‘Birthday boy!’ Jess hung out of the train window as she saw Dan rushing through the ticket barrier.
‘Phew, just made it,’ he gasped. ‘Hey, nice hat, Mrs Robinson.’
‘Well, thank you, sir.’ Jess kissed him on the cheek. ‘Your birthday surprise awaits, young man.’
The Soho Hotel was even plusher than Dan had expected. They were greeted in reception by a large stone sphinx and a stunning-looking girl, dressed in a smart black uniform.
‘Good to see you again, Ms Morley.’
Jess loved it here; she had run various events at this hotel and they always treated her like royalty.
‘We’ve upgraded you to a junior suite as it’s a special occasion.’ The receptionist nodded towards Dan and smiled. ‘Happy Birthday, sir.’
‘Fuck, what an amazing room!’ he exclaimed as he threw himself on to the massive bed. ‘Champagne too!’
‘Of course, only the best for the birthday boy. Look in the fridge.’ Neatly lined up were four cans of Stella.
‘You’re a bit special, aren’t you, Mrs Robinson?’
‘I do try.’ Jess smiled.
Since Boxing Day they had lunched and messaged and talked for hours. This was Jess and Dan’s first whole night together since and the anticipation bristled around the room.
‘And now I actually have a surprise for you, Mrs Robinson.’
Jess looked at him quizzically.
‘Go and sit over on the sofa, shut your eyes and hold your hand out.’
She did as she was told. Opening her hand to find a bit of folded-up paper, she looked at Dan quizzically.
‘Go on – unwrap it then.’
She unwrapped the small packet to find four orange-coloured pills.
‘Dan?’
He laughed, loving the fact that he had done something to surprise Jess for once.
‘These, my darling lady friend, are our entertainment for the evening.’
‘Oh my God! Look, Dan, I’m not so sure. I’ve never taken drugs, apart from the odd puff of weed, ever before in my life.’
‘You’re going to love it!’
Jess hoped there weren’t any gas ovens around to stick her head into, as she was sure if he asked her to do that she would obey without question! What was it with this boy?
‘I’m scared,’ she confessed.
‘I’ll look after you. You will be absolutely fine, we’re going to have a ball.’
He kissed her full on the lips and brushed her fringe off her face. He noticed that she smelt gorgeous. Dan proceeded to stand on the bed and put his arms in the air and began to speak like a ring-master.
‘Jessica Morley. What you have here tonight, for one night only, is a fuck-off huge bedroom, with a sumptuous lounge area.’ He pointed to the end of the suite. ‘Plus,’ dramatic pause for effect, ‘over in that corner, a marble tiled bathroom, with a Jacuzzi for two and a walk in shower and – drum roll, please….’
Jess tapped her hands on the glass coffee table as her sexy young partner continued. ‘Finally, Ms Morley, for your delectation and delight, you have champagne, a love drug and, of course, me and my huge cock!’ Dan did a star jump off the bed and Jess laughed out loud.
Dan was happy. He loved hanging out with Jess. He was also really excited at the thought of taking some pills with her, as he knew how horny she would get. Jess, too began to feel excited. As she had never mixed in circles that had taken drugs, she had always wondered how Ecstasy would make her feel.
‘Right,’ said Jess. ‘Let’s go for dinner and then we can come back here and party on.’
Dan put his hand on hers, ‘Jessy Morley, we don’t need food tonight, just supplements. Now let’s get this party started.’ He poured the champagne and they clinked glasses.
‘Cheers.’ Jess cocked her head to the side and smiled.
‘You ready?’
She nodded.
‘Just take a big swig, wash them down and relax,’ Dan urged.
‘Both of them?’ Jess enquired.
‘Yeah, I reckon.’
