Have you ever completed a task, or achieved some kind of long-term craved life goal? I ask because April is the month of the London marathon and I have a marathon-related story to tell…
As I’ve often remarked in these posts, escorts receive all kinds of requests – from the straightforward to the bizarre, and everything else in between. Two years ago, I’d been watching the London marathon (it always makes me want to cry when I watch those people running for charities and struggling through their pain and exhaustion, determined to keep going), when I got a call.
It turned out a client was looking for an outcall escort to come to his hotel and could I do the job? I love my work and as it happened, a girlfriend had blown me out for the afternoon so I agreed.
My client wasn’t in one of the usual hotels I go to, and as I walked in I realised a lot of the people milling round were those who had just run the marathon. There was an air of happy and satisfied exhaustion to the place.
I made my way upstairs and the door was opened by a man in shorts, a running vest and wearing his marathon medal.
“Oh congratulations!” I said, “how are you feeling?”
“Knackered,” he said, “but er… not that knackered…” He went on to explain that he was from Glasgow and two years ago, he’d been four stone overweight, had high blood pressure and he smoked 30 a day. He’d given it all up, got fit and run the marathon and in less than four hours too.
Trouble was, he hadn’t realised how elated he would feel and how much he would need to celebrate his achievement with someone; he hadn’t travelled down to the city with anyone. A London escort was happy to help him celebrate and no, he wasn’t that knackered…
