Sexually she had never been frightened of experimenting or taking the lead.  However, recently she had met someone who had possibly put her in her place, albeit flat on her back ….. no pun intended!

Madonna once claimed that Italians Do It Better …. and she had to admit, she agreed.  She went away to foreign climates to gain a better life for herself, a nicer colour to her skin and all night partying and having just come out of a relationship prior to leaving she had no intention or desire for anyone else in her life at that time.  She supposed it was like the old saying; once you stop looking, it shows its face.  

She didn’t have a certain type of man she went for …. that doesn’t mean to say that anything with a pulse was in danger of being in her company but she didn’t necessarily tend to have a specific taste.  She hadn’t had many serious men in her life but they had been of an eclectic type.  

Spanish men are extremely handsome but then again so are most European men.  She did think that she’d struggle with the language as she was by no means fluent in anything other than talking bollocks but she had a go (much to the amusement of many).  She gave most of the obvious gigolos a miss, once living out there she could spot them a mile off.  Holiday romances were not her scene even when she was there on holiday so she wasn’t about to start swallowing their lines this time.

Fortunately, due to finding work and making various friends pretty quickly she found her social circle growing at a fairly fast pace and it was through a new friend that she met someone.  He was sitting in the bar with her friend and at first she didn’t take that much notice.  As with most of her new friends, the chances of them not being able to understand was quite high and apart from smiling initially, there was never much contact after that.  However, as they both smiled at each other, he extended his hand and spoke in English.  He was certainly foreign but his English was perfect, he even sounded like he had a Northern English accent which was somewhat amusing to her.

His eyes burned into her as she introduced herself and she felt herself blush.  It was quite an intense moment, one which was commented on by their mutual friend once he wasn’t listening.  Again she blushed, this wasn’t in her nature at all and it felt quite alien to be feeling this way.  As the night continued she was aware that he kept looking her way and was almost trying to hold her gaze.  Ordinarily she would have flirted and made as much eye contact as possible but with this guy she felt different.
