Hooking up with a festive tourist left Charlotte* feeling both naughty and nice...
A year ago I began working in an all-year-round Christmas shop, to earn a bit of extra cash while studying at university. I’d recently broken up with my long-term boyfriend and I was feeling pretty low – and, actually, all the tinsel, festive cheer and seasonal tunes really didn’t help. Most of our customers were tourists coming in for tartan baubles or ones with their names written on. Either that or they were Christmas obsessives, who began planning their “looks” around August. Certainly no one remotely fanciable. But then, one morning, this really cute Australian came in, picking up some bits and bobs for his family. I immediately felt a sexual chemistry between us and he was totally my type, with olive skin, blue eyes and dark hair. We flirted a little, but then he was gone. I figured he was just visiting, and I’d never see him again.
