A pretty weird encounter

 

I was obviously very impressed by this encounter. I must write it down here.

WhatsApp message from a guest:

"I've only been to see you once. But this visit is one of the experiences I want to remember for the rest of my life. So deep, so intense, so real. You made me feel myself.

Beautiful - and now?

I am drawn. And I hesitate. And this ambivalent tension makes it even more exciting. "

He obviously knew exactly how to wrap me around his finger. Maybe he meant everything he wrote. In hindsight, I can't really put my finger on it.

In any case, I was touched by the message. It felt so good, what he wrote and the way he wrote it, and I was so happy. What else could it be?

I replied to him in roughly the same style as his WhatsApp, saying that you shouldn't try to repeat experiences that have made a big impression on you in exactly the same way, because they can't be repeated. Something will always be different. I replied that I would be very happy if he decided to come and that it was of course fine if he decided not to come.

He agreed to visit me.

I asked him how long he wanted to stay, and he replied: "Until time stands still... We'll manage with time and money... no worries."

I must smile as I write these lines here, because what happened next was pretty weird and really threw me for a loop.

It came late in the evening. Around half past ten at night. We got on very well straight away and I didn't ask him how long he wanted to stay, as is usually the case, and I didn't ask for the fee straight away either. An absolute no-go, I know.

So, as I mentioned, we got on very well straight away. In every respect. We kissed and talked, had good sex. We laughed and philosophized and kissed again and did nice things. It was a really great time. I enjoyed it. We had a good connection with each other.

Sometimes during this time of being together, I also thought about the fee that the encounter would bring me. Yes, of course, I thought about that too. And it made me happy.

At some point, I asked him how long he wanted to stay, and he replied that he would be happy to stay with me until the early morning. I trusted him. This encounter was too harmonious for me to argue.

After 4 hours of intense togetherness (and again I'm laughing heartily because it's so absurd to me how the story continues), I asked him if he really wanted to stay the whole night. He suddenly became a bit more reserved and said that he had changed his mind and was going home after all.

That was fine with me, as I'd had a tough day in the truest sense of the word and was so tired that my eyes were falling shut.

He ordered an Uber and got dressed. I lay in bed and almost fell asleep, watching out of the corner of my eye as he folded up the fee and put it on the bedside table.

I walked him to the door, said goodbye and only then did I look for the money. It really hit me. It really did. I was stunned.

He really dared to do it and - looking back - went through this act very confidently. At least that's how it seemed.

So, back to the fee: he had put 300 francs on my bedside table.

That was like a slap in the face. It really hit me. I can describe exactly how I felt afterwards: I felt abused. It was a really intense feeling. He had turned 1,200 francs for 4 hours into 300 francs.

I wrote to him saying that he couldn't be serious and that 300 francs wasn't even enough to pay for an hour. And after all, he was with me for 4 (!) hours. I wrote to him saying that this was cheeky and had nothing to do with appreciation, which the fee also expressed for me.

He wrote back with an "oh well". Then I didn't hear from him again.

I don't know if he blocked me on his cell phone, because I left it at the "Oha", but it was still rumbling inside me and kept me busy the whole next day. Obviously, it's still on my mind after several days have passed, otherwise I wouldn't be writing this story here.

And yes, I know: always ask how long the guest wants to stay first and then collect the fee in advance (is there actually a nicer term than collect?). I'll keep that in mind…
