glad to see that all’s well so far.
I need some air.
I head to the Cupid suite, which has the largest terrace. It’s chilly outside with a fierce wind buffeting the rooftop, but a couple in their forties are sitting outside in the Jacuzzi. They look blissfully happy, chatting and laughing. Through the glass doors of the suite, I spot the young French lady sitting on a sofa in the suite, watching the mass of naked flesh on the bed. Apprehensive no longer, she’s now relaxed and aroused, her hands touching her lover’s body as he frees her breasts from their bra and fondles them lovingly.
I head along the terrace and go into the Rose suite, but turn around and head straight out when I spot Plaything with a woman in the Japanese bath having full-on sex.
I think I’ll leave him to it. Glad to see the neck brace is off, though. I’m sure that adds to his pulling power.
I bump into Jupiter, who’s been on patrol. ‘How are things?’
‘Fine. No trouble. It’s the men I have to keep an eye on more than the girls, but they’re all playing by the rules, even the new members. No need for any reminders yet. But you ought to talk to Kitty Kat.’
‘Really?’ I’m worried at once. ‘Why?’
‘It’s Miss D, I think. Kitty Kat’s near the lifts.’
Sighing, I make my way through the throng to the corridor where Kitty Kat is standing, still armed with her clipboard.
‘Jupiter told me you’re worried about Miss D,’ I say, going up to her.
‘Yes, I’m afraid so. She’s acting a little erratically. And she’s made more than one trip to the loo in the last 20 minutes.’
My heart sinks. I wish Miss D could learn to control herself. I also wish that she’d respect my friendship and my rules, but she seems incapable of it. If I weren’t so fond of her, she’d drive me mad. What am I saying? She does drive me mad. ‘Is it drugs?’
‘I think so.’
‘I can’t believe she’d be so stupid. She knows how I feel about it, and what the consequences could be.’ My fury starts to grow. ‘Where is she now?’
‘She’s in the bathroom in the Lovebird suite, I think.’
I head there, marching along with my eyes blazing, Kitty Kat following on behind. When I get there the door is locked and I rap firmly on it.
‘Miss D! Come out right now. If you don’t open the door, Kitty Kat will break it down. I’m going to count to 10.’
A voice floats out from behind the door, its tone unconcerned. ‘Ems, is that you?’
‘You know it’s me. Now open up!’
‘Just checking. Better to be safe than sorry!’
‘If you don’t open up, you’ll be very sorry!’
‘Give me a sec, Ems,’ she says, her voice wavering a little now. There’s suddenly a lot of noise and activity going on inside: the loo flushes, the taps are on and I think I can hear the sound of fast and frantic snorting.
I narrow my eyes and say loudly, ‘That’s it. Your time is up. We’re going to break the door right now.’
The door opens and Miss D peers round it, all wide-eyed and innocent. ‘You want to speak to me?’
‘Cut the Miss Innocent act. Exactly what have you been taking tonight?’
‘Oh! Er … nothing.’
‘What’s with the straw you’re carrying in your hand then?’ I ask, grabbing it from her. She knows the game is up and looks sheepish. ‘All right, Ems. I’ve had a bit of coke. I only brought a gram with me. It’s no big deal.’ She rolls her eyes as if to indicate that I’m making a big fuss out of nothing.
