CHAPTER THIRTEEN

We were splashing up a storm in evening aqua class and as Vanessa and I drew level she called out to me above the noise of the throbbing music and roiling water: ‘I’ve had some more young ones contact me! I told them I’m not interested but have a friend who might be! They’re very good-looking!’

‘Great – send them my way!’

‘Come back to my place later! We’ll go online and you can check them out!’

So after we showered and dressed I drove Vanessa back to her flat, which I hadn’t been to before. The place was memorable for the extensive wine rack in the kitchen (50 bottles, at least) garlanded with twinkly fairy lights. Nice touch.

She opened a bottle of blanc, got out a few dips and toasted some pitta bread, and we gossiped for a while over our girly feast before moving into the next room to log on to the dating site.

‘Look, it’s these two guys. Stud123 and Cruiser.’

They were in their early thirties. And cute. Stud123 was the cockier of the two, and his main photo showed him sporting a come-on smile, if ever I saw one. As it happened, both were currently online.

Vanessa quickly tapped out messages to them. ‘My friend on this site, called Raven, likes younger men and thinks you’re cute. Why don’t you get in touch with her?’

Before long I was messaging with the pair of them and they claimed to be in favour of pursuing matters with the game Raven.

‘It’s so nice of my friend Vanessa to give you to me,’ I wrote to Stud123.

‘Yes,’ he replied, ‘she’s a good sport! And how can I be of assistance? Maybe pop round with a nice bottle of wine one evening to toast a new adventure?’

‘Yes, that’s the kind of service I like.’

‘And I'm sure that other than opening and serving the drinks I can be of use in other departments…’

‘I've no doubt that a resourceful young man such as you has many valuable uses. It would be nice to find out. So what is it about older women that appeals to you? The sophistication, wisdom, experience, self-confidence? Or have I missed something out?’

‘The sex is far more adventurous, kinky and fun!’

My e-talk with Cruiser was more succinct. ‘You like cute young men and I like refined older women, so we’re both in luck. Would like to have a drink sometime if you fancy it.’ And he gave me his mobile number.

I was chuffed that he regarded me as refined. Because it had seemed to me that in the space of a few short months of starring in my own personal Sex and the City show, I had gone from thoughtful fellow-journalist Carrie, my natural alter ego, to voracious man-eater Samantha. But that was all right, as long as I still came across as ladylike and refined…right up to the moment the knickers came off.

It had all got off to an encouraging start and I told the boys we would continue our encouraging communications very soon.
