Cheap Thrill

The other day I was asked by a local school to do some marketing for them so there I was with this list in front of me of local firms who might be interested in having English lessons. Boring of the task quickly, I reached firm #10 on the list and this man answered with the most delectable voice ever – velvety, caressing the air, rich, mellow, sensual and pleasure promising… and all in musical Italian. ‘Wow!’ I thought, suddenly awake. I quickly realised that his firm didn’t need English classes but how to keep him on the line and thus enjoy for a little longer that gorgeous voice? Banal and irrelevant questions spewed forth…. ‘So do you employ any of your family in your company?’ / ‘Do you get the chance to visit the beach in your lunch hour then?’ (I had no idea if they were situated along the coast or not) / ‘Has it been a good year for business so far…?’. At each question there was a slight pause before answering, though, God bless him, he did answer them all, probably thinking ‘What’s the matter with this woman?’. Finally I couldn’t think of any more questions so I just came out with it. ‘Can I tell you something? I think you have a lovely voice’. He laughed, a deep rich intense laugh – I had goose bumps and wondered suddenly if he had hairs on his chest. ‘Thank you’ he answered ‘You have a nice voice too’. Unsure what to say next, I said lamely ‘errr, well, if you ever need English lessons, you know where to find us!’. Ahhh, a pleasant lift to the morning. I think it was just one of those situations where you think afterwards, ‘I should have told him’ so I did. After this, I told all my girlfriends about it and they begged me for his number so that they could get a cheap thrill as well from it. No doubt his company have been receiving repeated ‘wrong numbers’ and women asking similarly irrelevant questions in the hope that this sexy-voiced hot blooded male will answer and brighten up their mornings too.
