In Just Five Days (closed to Steffi200051)

.

He followed her into the long quiet hallway, the lift closing behind them. Adrian was on the next floor up, but the stairs were no to onerous.

"Yes the lake was beautiful, and quiet... like this hallway" he teased.

"Well I shall wish you good night my lovely Jane and thank you for another evening."


He met her eyes with his, wondering if offering her a good night hug would be too out of place.
 
"Sleep well, Adrian....one more day!"

Having said that she instinctively reached out and gave him a polite hug and a kiss on the cheek. He had been a good sport all week, serving as the guide in a strange town and having a protector is not to be dismissed. As she did so, he took the liberty of peeking quickly at her neckline. Jane did not mind.
 
.

He blushed as she hugged him and pecked him on his cheek.

As she withdrew, he caught a glimpse of her neck line, though in the light, he saw nothing but shadows.

"Sweet dreams Jane...."

He caught her eyes before he pulled her into an embrace as he held her in a bear hug, his arms around her wasit, pulling her close into his build.
 
Adrian held her tightly once again and his hand slipped slightly to cover her bottom. It was clear he was feeling they had grown closer during the week, this was certain to be a good thing once they returned on Monday. She wanted to show her appreciation.

"Mmmmmmmmmm...."

She almost apologized for her inadvertent moan, but decide it was harmless.
 
.

Adrian felt Jane lean into him as she sighed gently.

He held her, his hands around her waist into the small of her back, giving her a tight bear hug, ensuring to keep it 'as clean' as possible.

He was able to inhale her fragrance, and he shampoo as they stood in the long corridor.

"Thank you for being excellent company this week Jane."

He turned to kiss her hair in a platonic manner, as he did so, the lights in the hallway went out, plunging them into darkness other than the glow of the emergency signs.
 
Adrian was not letting go and it felt for a moment like being walked to her parents front door. He was probably still energized from watching the three swimmers frolicking in the pool but Jane knew he was a trusted friend and decided to play along. Adrian swooped along her shoulder just as the hallway went dark. Seconds later his hand was rubbing her chest!

"Oooo...Adrian, it's dark here."

The stood their ground both thinking the lights would soon return. Adrian maintained his grip on her waist as if he had not noticed the outage. Her first thought was how would she find her keycard? Adrian had no such worries. Instead his fingers roamed the front of her chest.
 
.

Adrian pulled away from the bear hug, lightly teasing her breast by running a finger over her right breast, before waving his arm to activate the light sensor.

"Good night Jane..... "

He paused...

"And have I ever told you how attractive you are Jane? Yur husband is a very lucky guy."

He smiled as his eyes met hers.
 
"Good night Adrian, thanks for the lovely...evening."

A moment later she was inside her room, fumbling for her cellphone which made a perfect, yet weak, flashlight. She then dropped her dress and entered the bathroom, just as the lights returned.

"Thankfully.."

She was already here and thought it best to get her shower in case there were further power interruptions. She removed all her clothes and entered the steamy water. As much as anything, it helped Jane to clear her head. She made a mental list of things to do, which included a call home. Tomorrow she would be checking out and driving to the last class. Her one thought was to use a towel to walk out to her suitcase for her sleep shirt!

The water felt wonderful. It stimulated her to think of wonderful things.
 
.

Adrian waited till Jane closed the door before he turned and headed to the stair well. Moment slater he was in his own room, and undressing, putting on a pair of loose swim shorts and a simple t-shirt - clothing that he felt comfortable to relax in.

He turned his laptop on, and started to look at the photos that he had taken that week, principally of Jane. He edited several, those that were decent portraits of Jane, cropping them and enhancing the colours and the shadows using lightroom.

About 20 minutes later he had about four or Five that would work well as a set for a framed set, and he emailed them to her. Before he did so, he got one of the more risque photos that he had taken of her being braless and her breasts were clearly visible under her top.

.
 
Once she was near her suitcase with her sleep shirt in hand, she visually checked the drapes before dropping her towel to the floor. It felt refreshing to be without clothes, almost daunting. Jane delayed putting on her blue night shirt and instead called her husband to recap the day and set the stage for her return in afternoon. She talked with him for ten minutes, casually touching herself as a way of keeping interest. Afterward, she turned on TV for the late local weather report and checked her messages.

"Oooo dear Adrian.."

There was a file of pictures from previous day that once again proved his ability with a camera. They were nicely set with superb focus. The last one showed off her breasts clearly visible with her top lifted almost to her neck. Her breasts had very flattering proportions considering her age.

Without a moment of hesitation she deleted the file to prevent any accidental discovery. Jane hoped Adrian did the same.

Nice job, you really do have photographic skill!

She sent off her reply then laid her phone on the bed as she slipped into her sleep wear. She selected a PPV movie from the list and clicked in the request!
 
.

Adrian saw Jane's reply on his MacPro as he continued editing various photos.

He actually was editing various photos, and so he replied.

"Do you have a dropbox account?"

Moments later he started to export the photos from Lightroom, uploading them into a dropbox folder, creating two directories, Sensible and Risque. As his mac exported his photos, he turned some of the lights off, in readiness for bed.
 
The PPV movie had just begun and Jane was sipping the last of her diet Pepsi when her phone lit up with another message. It was Adrian with another message.

"Nope, I do not."

She was surprised he had not drifted off to sleep.
 
.

He read her reply and made a mental note to talk to her about it in the morning as he closed his lap top, and his eyes...

The following morning, he was up and ready for his early morning exercise session, before returning, and showering. As he allowed himself the luxury of air drying, he packed his case, before reaching for the mobile.

"Need a hand carrying your case to your car?"


He then carried his belongings to the reception area, and cleared his account. He cheekily acquired a coffee as he waited for Jane to arrive.
 
"No I actually woke up early--no idea how--and I am downstairs!"

Jane was groggy yet motivated and had already loaded her car. She waited to checkout, thinking that it might be best to have breakfast at the hotel and charge it to the bill. She was surprised that Adrian kept to his routine and went jogging. He had really put away the booze. She was quite surprise and somewhat intrigued at the pictures he had sent. She could just imagine him showing them off!

After getting his text she paced around the lobby. The final meeting of the seminar meant nothing and she was hoping it would be over with at lunch.

The elevators opened and Adrian popped out having ridden alone. He looked inspired, apparently able to handle his drinking well.

"Morning."
 
.

He raised an eyebrow when he received the text

"No I actually woke up early--no idea how--and I am downstairs!"

"Good for you see you shorlty"

As the lift door opened, he saw her waiting for him, looking rather stunning. He approached her smiling; his casual sport jacket open, revealing his plain light blue short, and light brown chinos.

"Good morning lovely, have a good night sleep after watching the antics in the pool? Bear with me please whilst I check out."

He held her and gave her a brief kiss on her right cheek before he left her as he checked out...

"Well, good news, we can keep our cars here and collect them around lunch time... saves having to try and find some where to park!"

Moments later he was outside as he walked to his car, and secured his luggage in the boot.

"Ready for breakfast?"

Thy were soon walking for the final time to the training centre, as they made small talk, Adrian asking Jane about the photographs he emailed.

As they approched the cafe, he pasued...

"So are we dining here as usual?"

.
 
As they approached the café Jane had a sudden need for coffee. The moving around and fresh air had brought her to near-normal, but she now needed to clear her mind.

"Oh gosh YES! I really need it!"

They had a choice of many tables as the restaurant was nearly empty. There was no need to rush as neither she nor Adrian cared about being on time for the last session. As usual the waitress brought the large mugs which Jane looked upon like a Christmas present!

"OOoooo..this is so good!"
Clearly she was feeling energetic.

Adrian must have thought she was having a bad morning for her temporary loss of decorum but Jane really was in a good mood and anxious to be home.
 
.

The coffee was excellent as usual as they sat on a table. Jane seemed to be in a very good mood, her body seemed to be giving of subliminal sexual undertones he thought, or was that wishful thinking.

"My My My Jane, you are in a good mood this morning. Does watching live sex always have this affect on you?" he joked.

Even the waitress seemed to notice as she joked with Jane, almost a case of mild flirting he amused to himself.
 
"Yea, that was some kind of show in the pool. Those pool girls can barely walk this morning after that pussy-pounding."

She finished her thought then glanced around to be sure no unintended ears were listening in the café. It was a bit of fribolity but it fit well with her mood on this last day. The coffee was exactly the correct medicine to get her going, although she felt surprisingly well. She had been attempting to plan some type of mind-set for their cohorts back at the office and decided to involve Adrian.

"I was thinking of send a text to Simon as way of...ruining his weekend. Something along the lines of --The big change coming on Monday--as a result of the new software! Any ideas?"

Adrian appeared to have an instant thought.
 
.

He grinned as he heard Jane's minxy idea.

"Well how about something to do with the wages? I mean that is what has been frustrating you recently isn't it?" he inquired smiling. He saw her eyes and smiled, they were full of ideas, bright and lively.

"Did I detect a hint of jealousy in your voice Jane?" he asked referring to the 'pussy pounding comment Jane had made as he openly teased his younger colleague.

He sipped the remains of his coffee, as she replied.

"No, it is not just wages! Simon has that smug-know-it-all look that just beckons to be deflated, and we need to think of something to put a scare into him. Something that ruins his weekend."

The coffee continued to be good, as she glanced over at Adrian thinking that he looked surprising fine considering the amount he had to drink. She noticed his mind at work and was reminded that he detested Simon as well. Although he was never one to show it openly. He was too reserve for that.

"My idea is alert people that the new software appears to be so productive that the company may need less employees."
 
.

"My idea is alert people that the new software appears to be so productive that the company may need less employees."

"Yes" I like that idea, "and more junior ones as well as the software can carry out some of their more menial duties?"

He winked "Yes I like that idea Jane you vicious cow!" grinning.
 
"COW...?"

She nearly gulped at Adrian's choice of words, but smiled knowing he had a simple idea in mind. The food was good and they were nearly finished, yet there was no real need to be on time.
 
.

He sensed that she didn't approve of the word 'cow' even though it was said in a teasing fashion.

"Well why don't you email him that the major upgrade has made more functions automated through the use of macros and that so it is likely to reduce the work burden, and so will need fewer operative?"

He grinned as he caught her eye. She definitely had a mischievous sparkle, glint in her eyes that morning.
 
" Good thinking, I could send my e-mail to Lucie as she shares everything with him, then you send the second part directly to Simon--that way he'll piece it together without suspecting! "

She could feel her day getting ever better. The idea of spoiling Simon's weekend with worry topped things off nicely. Now they only had to muddle through a few hours of review and they could be on their way. She finished her coffee and Adrian picked up the check. Sitting in the class would be good chance to catch up on rest.

They hit the sidewalk and noticed the air temperature had gone up. There was not a hint of wind. They walked briskly and in the distance they noticed a few familiar faces standing outside the building seemingly enjoying the sunshine. Once the approached there appeared to be some problem, as no one was entering the premises. It was Marion who spoke up and gave them the news about a transformer in the building that cut all the power, therefore the last session had been canceled. There was a typed message taped to the entry door. It included some contact information for anyone with questions for when they returned to their place of employment.

As the stood around other class members showed to receive the news and give their thoughts.

"Well, this is different, what to do you think?"


"Wow, that is a shame."
