Beth tied up her high heeled sandals and stood up to look at herself in the mirror. She wore a red wrap dress with cap sleeves and a flared skirt which reached just above the knee. The dress was saved from being dowdy by a plunging V-neckline, and killer heels. Beth smiled as she picked up her purse and keys. Chris called this her slutty librarian look. And in 15 minutes from now, she’d be sitting across from him at their table in the hotel restaurant. If they could wait that long, they’d be back in this room half an hour after that. She felt the familiar heat begin to form between her thighs at the thought. Chris could be an arsehole at times, but he was damn good in bed and that’s all Beth really cared about.
Beth locked the door behind her and waited for a lift. Her phone rang as the lift doors opened. It was Chris’s number. She stood at the front of the lift ro try and give herself as much privacy as she could from the woman standing at the back.
“Hey, I’ll be there in a few minutes” she told Chris.
“Babe, I’m sorry to do this to you but I can’t make it. I’m really sorry.”
“Gee, why am I not surprised?” Beth snapped. “What’s this now, the third time in a row?”
Chris tried to placate her but Beth had had enough. “Save it, I’m not interested. And don’t bother calling me again”. She snapped her phone shut and wondered what the hell she was supposed to do now.

“I’m heading down to have some dinner, care to join me? I’ve been holed up in my suite all day talking to journalists and I want to talk to a real person about anything other than this damn movie”. Alex smiled. Beth was struck by how beautiful Alex was in person, just as she was on film and in magazines.
“Okay, no talking about work, I promise” laughed Beth. She put out her hand. “I’m Beth by the way”. Alex took her hand and shook it. “I’m Alex”. Beth smiled and wondered if she sounded as nervous as she felt. “I’d be lying if I pretended not to know who you are” she said.
The lift doors opened and they made their way to the hotel’s restaurant. Beth noticed heads turning and jaws dropping when she and Alex were taken to their table. Alex looked stunning in a tight black pencil skirt, with an equally tight black sweater with a low neckline. It showed off her well toned figure perfectly. Although Beth had always felt happy with her own body, she felt quite unattractive next to someone so beautiful.
They ordered their meals. Alex took the liberty of ordering champagne for them both. She asked Beth where she was from, why she was staying in the hotel and other questions. Beth was struck by how genuinly interested Alex was, and never once felt that she was being superficial. Alex was surprisingly easy to talk to and once her nerves and initial shock had worn off, Beth found she was talking to Alex like she had known her for ye
