HELL’S KITCHEN RESCUE
By A.C. Thomas
We entered the room, which
was large enough and done all in blacks grays and whites.
It had a big bay window
overlooking the ocean which was about a block away. The sea was all gray-green
and the waves were rolling in. Out in the distance I could see a tanker plying
the waves. You could barely make out Coney Island in the distance, but it was
really only a faraway smudge. So, I just stood there looking out.
Then I heard of pop and
jumped.
“Jesus Christ, Brian, what
was that?!” I asked. and as I turned, and there he was holding a bottle of
champagne which spurted over one hand, and two stemmed glasses in his other
hand.
“Champagne?”
Surprised, I said, “Well,
why not?”
I took the bottle from his
hand and the glasses and said, “I’ll pour.” Then I looked at the label said,
“Holy Christ, Brian, this is Veuve Cliquot. Rosé. You’ve got expensive taste.”
Obviously he’d called
ahead and planned this to be in the room when we arrived.
He blushed slightly and
took the glass which I’d poured. We clicked glasses and took a sip. Then I
don’t know what happened. The next thing I know we were kissing, and then we
were on the bed rolling around. I guess at some point we put the glasses out of
harm’s way, but I can’t remember doing that.###
