#7: Marie-Claire Gets her Groove Back
Over the
course of the next couple of days, the women became friends, with the
delectable Cynthia Jackson literally setting the pace. She was quite smooth at
it too, her questions were crafted as easy lead-ons, and never sounded like
points of interrogation at all.
At first Marie-Claire
stayed well within the safety of straight one-liners when she responded to any
question posed by her new friend. As their easy conversations progressed
however, Cynthia’s openness encouraged her to ease up and be a little bit more
sharing.
Her
attraction to the chocolate beauty wouldn’t let up despite her best effort to
suppress it. It quickly grew into a crush she couldn’t shake. She suspected the
other woman noticed it too.
‘Of course
she would, she’s been flirting with me from the get go.’
Marie-Claire
particularly liked the way Cynthia was always quick to empathize and compliment
appropriately whilst never losing eye contact when they talked.
At first she found it tortuous to maintain eye contact, but considering how flattered she felt especially after eons of being ignored by Antoine, she gradually warmed up to it.

The ladies
had dinner together and while they were eating, Cynthia made
Marie-Claire almost choke on her food when she proposed a plan for the
following evening.
“Marie-Claire,
as you know tomorrow is Saturday, and there’s that dance on the ship. Well I
was wondering, would you be my date?”
At first
it didn’t make any sense to the French divorcee, especially considering she
knew Cynthia was travelling with her boyfriend Alfie. Alfie is a very suave and
smooth charmer so she was wondering why her friend would not go on a date with
him.
“Did you
and Alfie have a fight?” she asked
“Oh no far
from it; Let’s just say Alfie has his hands full at the moment.”
“I do not
understand, what could be more interesting than going on date with a sexy and beautiful woman such as
yourself...?”
Marie-Claire
regretted the words the moment they were out of her mouth. She feared she had
just let the cat out of the bag regarding her desire for the other woman.
“Why,
thank you kind lady... You know you do have quite a way of making a woman
feel... desired.” Cynthia let the last word roll seductively off her tongue
even as she favoured her friend with a naughty wink.
“I don’t
know what to say...” She hedged, desperately trying to buy some time so she
could think...
“Well,
just say yes and I promise I’ll fill you in on why Alfie has his hands full
before our date is over tomorrow... Deal?”
The
tension was palpable as the women locked eyes for what seemed an eternity.
Finally Marie-Claire gently let out her breathe, her body relaxing somewhat.
“Yes,
deal.”
