Chasing Rainbows (14 page)

“
Kev,” she asked, “Don't they have women down there then?”

Kevin replied, looking down at his feet, “Well yes I suppose they do.”

Olivia turned to the women behind her and said, “Right, enough said, are we going or a we staying?”

The women behind looked amazed by what had transpired.

They knew that Olivia was up front and says it like it is, but to go up against someone as powerful as George, that was another matter.

Olivia certainly either had guts or was very stupid. “Get your coats”, she ordered and they proceeded to follow the men through the door.

They boarded the metro and rode a cross the city. George was finding it hard to hide his annoyance at Olivia.

He had a problem with forthright, bossy women and he was now putting Olivia into the same category as Jo.

A bossy demanding she devil. It appeared that Olivia had now taken over.

“
Well, let her” George thought, she can make a mess of the evening, they can all go back to the hotel disappointed and then he could come out again, alone.

He didn't really understand why he was being so petulant. Perhaps it was because he was looking forward to a man's night out which might include sex.

George sat quietly with the men, a frown clouding his face.

Olivia had not spoken much since they left the hotel and was sitting across the aisle looking out of the window, when she suddenly turned and grinned at the group.

She looked round and saw an old couple sitting close by, she grinned at them too. However annoyed George was with her, he had to laugh, and the rest followed suit. Olivia's grin revealed a pair of vampire fangs.

George wondered when she had put them in? The old couple were startled and hurriedly moved down the train to sit somewhere else.

Everybody laughed even louder.

It was a scene to behold as Olivia got out of her seat and began to dance about. No doubt about it, she certainly knew how to break the ice.

They were all laughing now and this encouraged Olivia to ape some more.

She moved closer to them all and said, “We are out at night near Transylvania, it is soon to be the witching hour and the vampires will be about. Do not worry my friends I will protect you”.

She crossed two fingers in the way they did in the Hammer House of Horror films to ward off evil and then went on to say in a completely different voice “We need to get in the mood if we are off to see some sex”.

“
Oh my God!” George thought, “What have I let myself in for now?”

In a flash, Olivia lifted the front of her dress up to show an amazing pair of thighs that were wearing black suspenders and stockings.

She turned round to reveal pert cheeks framed by black lace. Her workmates carried on laughing, they obviously knew her well and she probably got up to all sorts of antics in the office.

George turned away and looked out of the window as he felt something stir inside him. What kind of an enigma was this woman? She was very complicated. What might she do next? There were many facets to her colourful personality and she was like a rainbow.

George began to sing the Stones song , which was his favourite. “She comes in colours everywhere, she combs her hair, she's like a rainbow. Coming colours in the air, Oh! everywhere she comes in colours”.

George could not decide if he liked Olivia or not. He knew he was becoming rather infatuated by her and wondered if he should stop grooming Heather and start smiling more at Olivia.

He knew Heather would be a push over, probably quite boring in bed and perhaps would not be worth the effort after all.

Olivia on the other hand might be very interesting to take to bed, she was showing that she could have a good time, even thought she might possibly be hard work.

George could not work her out at all, one minute the woman and the next a child. One minute quiet and the next far too noisy.

He also wondered if she could keep a secret. He certainly didn't want people to know when he strayed. It could ruin his career and reputation.

George began to watch Heather and Olivia out of the corner of his eye. He studied them as they chatted and laughed.

The decision was made. He would chase the rainbow! If he didn't catch the rainbow at least he would enjoy himself trying.

As they left the metro station Jo said, “Thank goodness we are off there, I didn't like that at all”.

She moved closer to George and linked his arm with an air of ownership he did not like. She pushed her breast into his side. Oh no surely she was not drunk too?

George really couldn't be doing with her on an evening he felt was already ruined.

It was a short walk to the Reeperbahn and conversation surrounded the antics of Olivia in the Metro and the look on the old couples faces as they moved seats.

Heather spoke, "Olivia I can't believe you just did that!”.

Kevin added, “I can and it was really funny”.

Olivia laughed and replied, “Well we might soon be seeing some neck sucking and who knows what else?”

Jo turned to George, “She is so stupid, I can't stand her” she said.

George was rather surprised by the remark, “Oh I don't know,” he said, as he unhooked himself from Jo's grasp.

“
She seems to brighten the group up”, he answered as he quickened his step to join the men.

At the top of the street they stopped to discuss what they were going to do. Some wanted to do some shopping and others to see a live sex show before returning to the hotel.

They agreed to walk down the street and see what was what.

George took the lead and as they began their journey into the unknown George wished that he was somewhere else.

Walking down the Reeperbahn with this motley crew was not part of his plan.

He should have taken them back to the hotel and returned alone.

A feeling of apprehension fell over the group as they stayed in the middle of the street and slowly made their way to an adventure they would never forget.

As the 'tour guide' George began to explain that the street was made up of strip joints, shops and erotic theatres.

They could see men standing outside dimly lit doorways . Bouncers standing beside brightly lit windows advertising the delights inside.

Most posters and displays said the same thing, 'Three shows and one beer for twenty five deutsche marks.'

Half way down the street they stopped.

“
OK”, Olivia questioned, “What are we going to do then? Go in one or go back?” George stood back as a conversation began between them all.

The rain also began, harder than before and these stupid people were discussing whether to go see a sex show or not, getting wetter and wetter.

Olivia had the only umbrella and she was getting colder and colder as she danced about with more than a frustrated look on her face.

It appeared that they were looking to her to make a decision for them. He could not fully hear what was being said but he did hear Olivia say, “For Fuck's sake, this is mental! Wait here”.

She turned on her heel and stormed towards the nearest door, where she began to talk to one of the older men who was wearing a black mohair overcoat.

All the men at the doors of the venues were wearing the same coat. It was like a uniform. George asked Kevin what was happening.

Kevin replied, “Some don't want to go in, Rachel and Heather do, it's the other women. It does seem rather expensive!”.

George nodded in Olivia's direction and asked, "What's she doing then?”

Kevin laughed, “She is trying to see if she can get us in cheaper as there are a few of us”.

“
Oh,” George said and thought to himself, “She won't be able to do that, fixed price is fixed price, the woman is a complete lunatic”.

George spoke to the others and then turned to where he last saw Olivia with the man.

They were no longer there. George asked Kevin where they were.

Kevin shrugged his shoulders saying, “The man just grabbed her and pulled her inside, she told us to wait here”.

Heather said, “Shouldn't we do something? I am worried now”.

Paul spoke up, “ I think she will be OK, she is a tough cookie”.

George smiled, “We best just wait here for her then”.

After about ten minutes Olivia came out of the building, turned to shake the man's hand and made her way back to the group.

She appeared dazed and in shock.

They waited in anticipation while she composed herself.

“
Bloody Hell!” she said, “That was an eye opener”.

They all crowded round her as Rachel asked, “Why, what happened?”

“
Come on tell us then,” said Peter.

George could see that Olivia was loving the attention. “Well it's like this” she began, “I think we should go in this one, it is still twenty five, but he has agreed to give us an extra beer”.

The group began to discuss again what they should do.

George could see that Olivia was becoming impatient with them all, as the rain came down heavier than before.

She looked lovely in the lamplight with her determined expression and the small frown that now ran across her forehead.

George knew he made the right decision about who he was to groom for a night of passion.

He loved a challenge.

Before the night was over the rainbow would be his.

Olivia suddenly shouted, “Right I have had enough now,”.

She walked over to George and began to pull him towards the door. She looked back at the group, the 'we can't make our minds up' people and shouted, “Do what the fuck you want , me and him”, nodding at George, ”are going in here.”

That was just what they all needed and they began to run across the street to join George and Olivia as they entered the building.

It was black as black could be. Once they were inside the group picked their way through crowded tables and narrow aisles as an escort showed them to the front, where they were crammed round a table, very close to each other.

Waiting for their beers, George looked at Olivia, who was sitting to his left. Her eyes were sparkling in the lights shining off the stage.

For the first time he noticed how beautiful they were.

He asked her, “How did you do that? What happened?”

Olivia gave a nervous laugh as she replied,” God knows, I almost died when he dragged me in here and all I could see was two people having sex on that stage. It was all so surreal. I thought of that song, can't remember it now, it's from a film or show, what was it?”

Olivia smiled and closed her eyes trying to remember. “I know,” She laughed, “It was 'Sweet Charity,' the song was 'if they could see me now', and it goes 'if they could see me now', they'd never believe it'. I thought what would my friends at home think if they saw me now? I know I am drunk or I would not have been able to argue with the man. You know he wasn't very nice at all.”

Olivia linked her arm under George's and snuggled closer.

George, felt comfortable and smiled at her asking if she was still drunk. Her reply was,

“Not as much, sort of but not sober and the night is yet young, I can get drunk again”. She winked.

The stripper left the stage as the second beers appeared and the curtain rose to a classroom setting.

A tall blond woman entered through a door at the back of the set, she was dressed in a school uniform, a short gym slip and black hold ups. Pigtails were adorned by red ribbons.

The woman strutted about and then sat on the desk crossing her legs provocatively.

The men sitting by the stage at the front were certainly enjoying themselves.

Music began to play and a man appeared, he was wearing a long shirt, hat, shoes and socks and no trousers, his dangly bits were on full display.

Olivia stiffened as she said to George, “Why, he has no trousers on. Oh my god! is that his willy?”

George smiled, sometimes Olivia was so sweet, she was like a little child.

She went on to ask, “How does he get it hard then?”

There was complete silence in the auditorium as the man played with himself in an effort to get an erection.

It seemed to go on forever.

Suddenly without warning the voice next to George screeched, “ Take your bloody hat off, and it might stand up”.

George was horrified, what on earth possessed her to do that? What did Olivia think she was doing?

Out of nowhere a he/she appeared. It was hard to determine if she was a man or a woman.

“
You be quiet now!” a voice boomed at them in a broken accent , “You be quiet or I throw you out”.

Olivia took a swig from her bottle and whispered, “Sorry”. Olivia shrank into George he wondered if that was a breast he could feel rubbing his arm.
