I got a pleasant (or unpleasant, I guess that depends on your perspective) surprise today when I walked into one of my client's home. I saw that she had set up a massage bed on the floor of her dining room. She told me that she wanted to try something different. She wanted her massage on the bed instead of the portable massage table that I brought with me.
These were the thoughts that came to mind when I saw the bed:
Obviously I couldn't read her mind. But I got the impression that she had something more than a massage in her mind.
I admit that Ms. P is a good looking woman. Maybe a bit too flirtatious. But it was in fun, at least that was how I always treated her flirtations. I always played along. It lightens up the atmosphere. And it is good for business. But it felt different and a bit awkward this time.
I don't want to sound like a prude, but there is a line that must not be crossed. I conduct my business in a professional manner. Ms. P was well aware of my code of professional conduct. Nevertheless, I was expecting the best but preparing for the worst case scenario as she disrobed for the massage session.
The line wasn't crossed, but it easily could have been. So many mixed signals. I don't doubt that she was open to something more than a massage. I am not going to go into any more detail, but I have to say that this session felt more intimate.
She was good natured about the situation at the end of the session. We both laughed it off.
Maybe I should cover myself up more and not show so much skin the next time I go to her house.
