“Now, just a little further up where we can hear our voices echo and then I’ll reveal what I promised I would”.
A couple were on a belated honeymoon trip to the Swiss Alps. It was a dream come true for them. They were there as part of a coach-holiday package deal and staying inside a luxurious 5 star hotel. All expenses had been paid.
“Steven Fuller, I believe there’s something you’ve been wanting to tell me since we ventured out here. Am I correct?”
“Well, as a matter of fact, Gail, you’re correct.” She saw his face turning red in embarrassment.
“Hey, I thought it was the female of the species who gets shy.” Said Gail, giggling at him.
“It’s one of those things I’ve been wanting to tell you since we got married but never got a chance to say it.” Steven grew tense and stood up. Gail reached out her hands and held his left arm.
“You’re trying to escape again.” “Now be like a good husband and tell me what it is.”
Steven smirked nervously and pretended to relax a moment as Gail loosened her grip. Suddenly, he stood up and rushed to the phone.
“I’ll order two sets of tea for us.” Gail stared down at the carpet, feeling let down.
“Hello, this is room 707. I’d like to order two teas please. Two sets with one kettle. Thanks.”
He stared across at her. She seemed very upset.
“Alright, Gail. I’ll tell you in the morning. Hey, look out the window, It’s snowing again. Listen, in the morning, we’ll go climbing up those Alps and we’ll meet those yodelers and lap dancers.”
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and the Steven opened it. A waiter entered holding a tray with a chocolate cake, a lasagna and two glasses of cherry with a stick of green olives inside.
“We didn’t order this, waiter!”
“Sir, it’s free, with compliments.” “Your tea is on it’s way too.” Another waiter entered with the tea, placed it on the table and suddenly both of the waiters began to do a traditional lap dance and simultaneously served the food to them. This continued until Steven smiled and signed his name on a receipt after which they bowed and left. Gail smiled back at Steven and they both sat around the table and tucked in.
“Mmm, the lasagna is absolutely delicious.” Said Steven, taking a bite with his fork.
