TWENTY-EIGHT

I slept with Neil last night.

It was kind of awkward actually, because Neil shares a room with this guy Baz, and Neil thought he wasn’t there, but he was, so we had to go to my room, and I had to beg Imogen to sleep outside.

It’s OK, we have these hammocks strung up on the balcony area now, they’re made from old sails from the dinghies on the beach, and they’re really comfortable, and it’s warm enough to sleep out all night.

And Imogen was really good about it, so she just came out to the hammocks, while Neil came into my room.

It was nice. I wouldn’t call it exactly spectacular.

And yeah, for the record, I didn’t come.

Actually, he only lasted a minute or so, which was sort of funny, but he’s got a hot body so it doesn’t matter.

Afterwards, we cuddled for a bit, then I said he should go, so that Imogen could come back to her bed.

This all happened because the clients have arrived – about sixty, which isn’t that many, when we get busy there’ll be three times as many.

Anyway, after work, we all came back to the staff house and got drinking, and that’s how it happened.

We were playing cards, and Neil kept cheating, looking at my cards, and I kept pushing him away, and it was really funny.

Then some of the other guys went to sleep, because we all have to get up early to get the hotel ready, and he said he was going to get a bit of air before he went to bed.

And since we were already outside, I knew what he meant, so I said I’d go with him.

We didn’t even make it to the beach.

There’s a little shed, down by the pool, where the cushions for the sun loungers are kept, and we went in there and started kissing.

It got pretty heated pretty quickly, and we could have done it there, but Neil said we shouldn’t, because if Jason saw us there, or if one of the guests caught us, we’d be on the next plane home.

Besides, neither of us had any condoms on us, but Neil had some in his room.

So we went back, and luckily Imogen was just cleaning her teeth before going to bed. So I asked her if she’d mind chilling out for a while in the hammocks.

And yeah. That was that.
