We were staying in a nice hotel in Amsterdam and were quite comfortable chilling in the room and looking forward to getting sexy! I was in my sexiest red underwear, all glammed up with everything else on show just relaxing on top of the bed.
Suddenly, we heard the noise of a key turning in the door and the door indiscreetly blasted open - what the hell was going on?! All sorts began to spring to mind on this cold January night.
Was it a burglary and we were going to get robbed?, who had the bloody key to our room in the first place?! Maybe we were going to be attacked!? Not best to be 'undressed' to the nine's at this point!! I couldn't believe it and hubby was like "What the fook?" in his usual dolcit tones.
Unfortunately, no baseball bat was to hand (which is just as well really). I had a vibrator as a weapon, but I was embarrassed enough at being scantily clad and absolutely terrified of what was happening! What or 'who' was behind that door, let alone turning the key?
Immediately after the clicking of the lock (which all happened in literally a split second), the door flung open as if police were opening it when raiding an apartment! Much to my 'shocked as hell' dismay, it was the hotel janitor (an old man, I would add) saying there had been a water leak reported in the room down below and he needed to check our room!! What a bloody cheek I was thinking as I quickly grabbed the duvet to cover my dignity.
I replied 'What the f*** are you doing!!!??' at the top of my voice, waking the rooms up next door and perhaps the whole corridor. Not quite your average 'boogy-man', but certainly felt like it at the time!
I'd never felt this scared in my life for a long time, it could've been anything happening. In the end we were just shaken up and of course, it was alright for hubby as it's not unusual for a guy just to be in his boxers. Unlike myself, sporting the sexiest red underwear ever!
Not only did we get a shock in the night (to say the least), I can imagine it was the most thrilling encounter this old guy had had in a while. To his credit, he did look so shocked, embarrassed that he'd intruded in on us (claiming he didn't know there was anyone residing in the room...mmmm???) and was extremely apologetic.
I did feel quite sorry for him actually, I think he was more spooked than us to be fair!!! He said "You have free breakfast in the morning and again, so sorry." We both said it was okay, but hubby replied "You should've just knocked first though".
"I'm sorry I swore and shouted at you, I was just shocked" I said to the janitor.
So as for things that go bump in the night, yes you have your poltergeists, demons and leatherfaces. But this was truly just as scary an encounter for us. I told myself "C'mon, no-ones gonna blink an eye at you in your undies, it's Amsterdam for God sakes!" and this got me through the embarrassment and calmed me down at the time.
I must say, walking down to reception the next day was quite a delicate experience!! It still sends shivers down my spine thinking about it now, but 'hey ho' at least I wasn't possessed by a strange entity.
I just wanted to share this true story with you and hope you enjoyed reading it.
I would appreciate just my forum name and picture to be used if published with Lovehoney. But if I am lucky enough to be chosen, email me and we can discuss this further.
Many thanks Leanne and all you guys on here. x
