In Just Five Days (closed to Steffi200051)

.

They finished their meal and both refused dessert, and finally it was time to Pay, which Jane dealt with before he had chance, and her look was noe not to argue with.

they recharge their glasses one final time, as they made idle talk, his watch suggesting it wasn't quite nine o clock yet.

Finally with the bill paid, they got up, and slowly started to head to the lobby and the lifts.

"So off to bed Jane?" he inquired, feeling slightly lost, the fun of a fun teasing flirtatious afternoon and early evening suddenly over.
 
Jane lean over the table as she stood up and reached for her purse. A move that was not lost on Adrian. Moments later they were heading for the lobby walking side-by-side.

"Yep, it will be a drag in class tomorrow and we will need to be fully awake. Have you any thoughts about after class--a museum or zoo perhaps?"

She was hoping to lead Adrian into something tame. The problem was the classroom seminar which could only be countered by doing something risqué. Jane would one day be in Adrian's position of leadership in finance and needed to appreciate his focus on preserving workplace decorum. She may have pushed things a little at the lake.

Moments later she was in her room. Jane laid out her clothes for morning. Then poured a cold glass of water and turned on the TV. As she checked her messages, the in-room movie option appeared.

"Hmmm...Nature Hike"

She closed the drapes and took off her top and skirt then climbed onto the bed. She thought one more time about Adrian's suggestive advances.
 
He walked by her side and into the lift with her. He was sure he could feel a sexual tension, but he assume din all honestly it was his over ego wishful thinking.

The lift stopped at her floor, and they said their final good nights before the doors closed. Half an hour later, he was at his desk editing some of the photos he had taken of Jane and the lake, cropping them, enhancing the colours slightly.

there were several of Jane that he liked, he skirt blowing in the breeze, her breasts looking natural.

He saved them as JPEGs and opened his email and sent her four photos, plus a cheeky one where he had cropped Jane such that as the skirt bellowed in the breeze you could just about make out the top of her thighs.

"Some edited photos of you"

He pressed send and took another sip of his wine.
 
The movie started with two women leaving their car at the trailhead and packing off on a secluded trail it was a simplistic plot as always. The lead woman takes them to a high country lake where they wade in. As Jane watched, knowing what was coming next, she began getting settled in. The room was warm making wearing only her briefs a comfortable feature.

They emerged from the water and began to strip off their hiking gear tossing it onto a blanket.
Doesn't everyone take a blanket on a hike?

Moments later it is girl time. Jane only casually watches, being that it was never her thing. A few minutes later the well-built conservation officer observes the women from a seclude grove of trees, gets excited and moves in!

Jane gets more involved. This movie strikes a cord with her thinking. The women quickly lose their concern and their inhibition as if they would just have sex with a complete stranger. Jane enjoys the obvious storyline anyway as her fingers slip inside her waist band. Later she removes them completely. Both women avail themselves for the man as if they have known each other for years. The officer enjoys both of them.

In the morning Jane actually wakes up early and takes a relaxing shower. She calls home briefly while she checks her E-mail. The pictures were a surprise and a rather nice one. It is evident that Adrian knows how to take good photos. She keeps the photos, reads the remaining mail before writing a tasteful thank-you reply. She then packs her materials and moves out to find Adrian for breakfast. Once inside the elevator, Jane stiffens her nerves and prepares for what the day may bring.
 
Thursday Morning

.

Adrian woke at normal round 6am, was soon soon heading t the park for 20 minute sor so of Interval Training. Back at the room, he was about to shower when he remembered to text her as agreed... "See you at 0745"

He showered and got read, and was soon in the lobby, checking his emails on his tablet and saw Jane's reply. He was of course in smart chinos and a short sleeve shirt, complete with a full Windsor knotted tie, reviewing his emails as he waited.
 
Adrian was again waiting and looking so well dressed. Jane found it difficult to believe that anyone could get up that early and going running! It made her feel compelled to be punctual as a loyal student. She was very relaxed and well rested which might have shown as they spurted off to the diner down the street.

"This will be the last of programmed days so I guess we pay attention."

At breakfast, Adrian couldn't wait to talk about the pictures. Jane played it softly, leading him to show what he had in mind.
 
.

Adrian complimented Jane when he saw her, and they soon headed down to the cafe place next to the training location. The weather ws a lovely sunny morning, and they made good progress, and soon arrived at th ecafe, asking how Jane slet and how the family were style conversation.

They soon found a table ad sat down and ordered their meal, Adrian had a simple scrambled egg on toast togethe rwith a coffee. As they waited to be served, Adrian asked Jane what she thought of the photographs as well as other questions regarding them when it became apparent that she had quickly looked over them.

Thier food was served as they ate, conversation drying up for a while as they ate, before they paid, and heaed t the training facilty.

They were some of the first to arrive and climed their usual seats as the mingled withthe other participants, Adrian often glacncing at Jane
 
The class began right on time, but quickly took a surprising turn. There was a barrage of questions from the younger students that pertained to rare and somewhat obscure occurrences that often cause problems for every software accounting program. There could be no perfect answers. Still the instructor remained pleasant and showed patience.

Adrian and she exchanged looks of disbelief. It was mostly over by the mid-morning break which would have been a fine time to duck out if it had been lunch.
They walked into the hallway.

They had been going on brief adventures each afternoon. At the lake the previous day things had become slightly risqué, due to her own poor judgment, and she was determine to play things safely.

"So, any plans for this afternoon?"

The final morning was mixed, there was some useful tips and other information. But some of the other participants who were less familiar with the software asked a few irritating questions.

More than once, Adrian looked at Jane, in her baggy top, often sliding down her arm exposing her bra strap. But finally it was lunch time, as Adrian and Jane gathered their belongings and headed outside into t he reception area of the building.

"So, any plans for this afternoon?"

Adrian turned to face Jane, and sensing a sly smile on her lips but it could have just been his imagination.

"Not particularly.... What about yourself?" he followed.
 
"There might be a an upscale restaurant somewhere. We haven't yet done enough damage to the expense account."

She could see that idea was not what Adrian was thinking. He was most likely thinking of more photos. Ten minutes later they were grabbing a light lunch at the café. They were just a table away from Sarah and her friends who were clearly fuming about the morning session to the point of talking rebellion.

Jane spoke in hushed tones across the table, "Does it surprise you that women with a large chest appear to get agreement regardless of what they say?"
 
.

As they dined and chatted with the other group Adrian changed his mind about a posh meal, especially if the others wanted to join them.

"Does it surprise you that women with a large chest appear to get agreement regardless of what they say?"

"Or those who flaunt what they have" Adrian joked.

He smiled with Jane and the other two as they continued venting their frustration
 
"Ohh..it was bound to happen. It seems that Simon has decided to go ahead with consolidating all of the tax-loss carry for this year to subtract from the receivables! "

It took less time then she expected for Adrian to react. It clear that Simon was using their absence to hold sway at the office.

The returned to the class with a slow walk to savor the warm sunshine as they vented about the ramifications and more importantly the manner of being informed by a text message.
 
.

He saw her look of total despondency as she read out the work email she had just received from Simon.

Adrian stopped walking and turned to face her...

"Well Jane, consider yourself hugged!" He had hugged her the other evening but he still felt that their friendship hand't crossed that line, of him hugging her unless invited possibly? His voice though was genuinely sympathetic to her predicament.
 
"Thanks, it has been a dreadful morning. I know this will be switched back a week from now but people never quite seem to take it out on that idiot Simon."

Adrian seemingly enjoyed hugs. She didn't mind. He was a gentleman about his move, most likely because they were in public.

Had she been alone she might have skipped the afternoon session. However, it was better in that the leader dove right in to working through the use of back-ups and switching data to the cloud. In fact it was nearly 3pm before she noticed the clock. Eventually, they turned the class over to doing test runs of various situations, as three of the instructors observed and helped those who were struggling.

There was one more day, but the program had largely been covered and Jane wondered if they would be released at noon on the last day. She was missing home life.
 
.

The final afternoon seemed quite busy, lots of hand on exercises. Adrian was an old hand with computers and software and found most of the processes, tasks relatively straight forward, as did Jane it seemed.

But finally, it was now 'Own Time' where Jane and Adrian had left, and had entertained their own thing.

He turned his tablet on and with a few strokes had a list of some more upmarket restaurants..

"What do you fancy Jane this evening? apart from me that is" he quickly teased.

The list included some French, Italian and Chinese style restaurants as well as more classical style cooking.
 
"We are in the hinterland so French is out. I would try for the steakhouse, something within twenty miles."

They were again the first to pack up their materials and move to the door. This was something of a moment of dread and Jane was on her guard. Yesterday quickly got out of control. They returned to the hotel to change and freshen up. Jane went with her plain green dress with a straight collar. She wore some upscale flat shoes that matched. Jane switched to a clutch purse to look fashionable.

Moments later she was outside on the portico waiting for Adrian, enjoying a bit of sunshine.
 
.

Adrian followed Jane out side pretty much. He was wearing a pair of chinos and a open collar smart shirt with a complementing casual sports jacket. He stood by her side .

"Evening gorgeous, I booked the steak house you suggested and a cab....."

Moments later a cab arrived, and the driver started to walk into the hotel, only to return a few minutes later with one of the receptionists.

He confirmed the address as they sat in the back, and were soon driving to the restaurant, around a 30 minute drive in the early evening traffic.
 
"A cab, wow...apparently there will be drinking tonight!"

Not only was there a cab ride but it was a long way to the restaurant and Jane could only imagine the bill. The place was on a village street but once inside they could easily pick-up on the upscale nature of the place. Adrian selected a nice white wine for a starter. Suddenly Jane was in the mood for drinking since it was a very easy final day in the morning.

"Here's to us getting our own way!"

The menu was pricey but it didn't stop either of them from getting what they wanted. Jane took the prime rib with the shrimp cocktail. It was something she had not had since New Year's Eve.
 
.


Adrian ordered avocado, tomato and mozzarella cheese for a starter and steak for the main course. They chatted about a 101 topics, the course, work, even Simon made a brief glimpse.

He joked, and occasionally flirted with Jane, as they ate their main course, becoming more and more relaxed in each other's company...
 
"This dinner will draw some questions back at the office--trust me!"

If Jane was nervous about the cost, she didn't show it. She ordered a second bottle--a desert wine. Adrian was getting very suggestive with his comments. He made her laugh at times.
 
.

"This dinner will draw some questions back at the office--trust me!"

"Some expense claims are best kept unclaimed Jane......."

She seemed to respond to his cheeky flirty comments, and once or twice she replied in kind, once or twice her eyes were spanner eyes, his nuts tightened at the prospect...
 
"Getting away with splurging on the expense account is worth it. It's like sneaking around to have sex---it heightens the fun."

The food was incredible. Jane had the French Onion soup which was done to perfection. It was almost too much. She could barely finish the Prime Rib. It was a swell time. Adrian was just as pleased.

"I do not understand about the cab fare?"

The check arrived and true to form Adrian signed for it with his credit card.
 
.

He finished his wine having paid the bill, and as they continued chatting...

""Back to the hotel Jane?"
 
"Sure thing, sounds good. "

She had three full glasses of wine but felt surprisingly fine as they stood and moved to the sidewalk where Adrian called for a cab. They stood outside enjoying the early evening air as they waited in the unfamiliar neighborhood. It was fun to watch the cars moving through the sparse traffic.
 
.

The yellow cab saw Adrian's hand and son stopped and Adrian gave the driver the name of the hotel.

The driver nodded, and Adrian opened the backdoor for Jane, and soon they were both sitting inside, as the driver took them back to the hotel.

Adrian was glancing occasionally at Jane as they spoke, about nothing...
