Shish kebabs shish kebabs that's all they have Miriam said as she sat at the bar of the base camp in Morocco
I sat smoking and drinking a Bacardi they do salads I said in long French loaves I have those they’re healthier and quite filling
she looked down her nose can't just have salad she said must have meat of some kind
well don't look at me I’m too skinny for a decent meal
she laughed and sat closer to me at the bar can you get me a drink?
sure what you having?
same as you
ok Bacardi and coke it is so I asked the bar keep for her drink and he went off to get it a cigarette hanging from his lower lip what did you think of the belly dancer last night? I asked
not my thing she said but I see you liked it
yes it was a good experience heard about them but never seen one before last night I said the bar keep brought her drink and I paid him he went off and I said how did you sleep?
not good I had Moaning Minnie with me and she moaned because I came in the tent at 3am what time do you call this? she moaned some of us are trying to sleep she moaned on for ages after I think she was moaning still in her dreams I suppose you slept? she said
yes I crept in my tent and fell asleep over my suitcase I was too **** tired to move it and the ex-army guy was zeroed
lucky you
not really I would rather have had you there than him snoring like some bear
what makes you think I’d sleep with you?
you did the other night after the beach party
she sipped her drink and looked at the menu card that was different she said
yes it was I said we went in your tent and Moaning Minnie came in and turfed me out
Miriam smiled if she'd come five minutes earlier she'd have got an eyeful
yes that would have been a bundle of laughs
Miriam ordered a salad roll and sipped her Bacardi and coke
