What a tangled web we weave…
Monday, September 22nd, 2008I was amazed at myself at the amount of lies that spewed forth from my mouth last Thursday and Friday during my jaunt to Dover to have my dinner duo with Sarah-Jane. But after so long in this job, I guess I kind of gotten used to it. There’s no choice really.
In the taxi ride to the hotel from the station, the driver was making polite conversation, harmlessly asking me the purpose of my visit to Dover. I told him I was meeting a couple of ladies from the area and that we were having a girly night out. He wondered why I chose that particular hotel. I told him that the friends were from nearby and that the hotel was the most conveniently located. I thought to myself “what the heck do I say if he asks where we’re going”, which I could clearly see was the next question coming. So I jumped in and said that we were all meeting at said hotel to discuss our night out as we were still at odds over what to do.”Whew, dodged that one”, I thought.
And then the next day, as SJ and I had checked out and was waiting for our taxi to take us back to the train station, the receptionist asked us where we were from, and it lead to more questions as to the purpose of our visit. And again, I lied through my teeth. She wasn’t being nosey by any means, neither was the taxi driver from the day before. Dover is one of those lovely quiet areas that you rarely come across where strangers say hello to each other and mention the weather. And as it’s so close to the coast, I assume the locals must be used to people visiting all the time.
As we were walking to the taxi, SJ laughed and said “You are such a liar!” But what else could I have said? “Oh, I’m an escort and I’m going to meet up with another escort and we’re going to have debauched and hedonistic fun in your hotel room with a client for a few hours. Promise we won’t leave our room a smut-filled mess” I hardly think that would’ve gone down well.
The famous White Cliffs of Dover.
But we all had a great time, Dover was a lovely place and I’m hoping our client went back home with a satisfied grin on his face.
