Ladies who Lunch - At the Gloryhole

They acted like they didn't approve, but it was an act, they did nothing but talk about men when we were at lunch. Even though they were very quiet about it. Brenda had a thing for her tall muscled mechanic, she would tells us how sweaty he got as he bent and worked on her engine. Sarah loved romantic comedies, imagining she was the starlet running away, getting married, or falling in love with her best friend from high school. Me? I would sit in the restaurant and look for the most handsome men, even some much younger ones, I wanted to wink, make eye contact, make sure they knew the three of us were there. Make sure they assumed we were interested. Make sure they knew we were ladies.

"So, the zoo, the brewery, the Historical Museums? What should we do this afternoon?" Sarah was ready, she was looking into her compact fluffing her forehead, the men heading to the table next to us smiled and said good afternoon as they sat down, she was ready to leave.

"No more Historical Museums." That was the last place I wanted to go, "We have hit every single one in a hundred-mile radius, they are always empty." The Worcester Historical Museum was four blocks away from my house, I had never been so nervous before. I was so afraid I was going to run into someone I knew, like the wife. Now I wanted to go someplace I have been fantasising about for quite a while, someplace perfect for three ladies in heels. "I have an idea, but don't shoot it down right away, okay?"

The two of them looked at me nervously, Sarah then snuck another glance at the four men behind her, through her little compact mirror, they would be listening, they wanted to know what hot 'middle-aged women' did on an afternoon off.

"I was thinking," I had a sly grin on my face, I just finished fixing my red lipstick. I looked around, I then whispered the next bit. "How about that adult video store on Highland?"

Sarah dropped her wine glass, the two of them got distracted, Trudi came over to help clean up.
