Anne’s only disappointment was that the pavement was far too hot to walk without shoes and she grudgingly copied Sarah in putting hers on. Her top followed as although she was happy to flaunt her own body she realised Sarah was much more reserved and she wanted to keep her companion comfortable. They found a pub a little back from the seafront. It had a large beer garden with only a smattering of occupants. It looked perfect. The pair chose a table in the middle with an umbrella to give them the option of shade or sun. A waitress had spotted them approach and greeted them as they seated with food and drinks menus. She was cute, around 5 foot 5 with dark hair to match her dark uniform, and a slim but not skinny figure. “Welcome ladies, please make yourselves comfortable. We have 2 for 1 on all cocktails until 5pm if I can tempt you?” Sarah had barely glanced at the menu before Anne was responding “I’ll have... sex on the beach please... Sarah?” The way she emphasised the words and the stare from her icy blue eyes caused Sarah to blush. It felt more like a proposition than a drinks order. “I’ll... yeah... the same please” “Great, four of those then please!” The waitress laughed. “Sure, won’t be a min...” “Four...?!” Laughed Sarah “I’m a total lightweight, and you’re driving” “Well we’re getting food too and the sun will soak it up... now let’s get comfy.” Anne reached under the table and her hand returned a second later with both of her shoes, empty apart from some stray grains of sand. Placing her shoes on the table, Anne’s hand returned underneath. Sarah felt the pull as Anne lifted her leg by the ankle, but her brain didn’t really process what was happening until her right foot was bare. Her left leg was lifted now, and then her left foot was bare. Anne released them after a lingering second. She triumphantly placed them next to her own on the table. “Why...” Sarah started but was interrupted by the returning waitress. Placing the drinks down she noticed the shoes. “Oh what’s going on here?” Anne was the one to respond. “Oh we were tired of wearing shoes. No better feeling than bare feet on a summers day” Anne swivelled in her seat and pulled her feet up displaying them. “Look how happy they are!” again the waitress laughed. “I’m jealous, I’ve been stuck in trainers all day, my feet are so sweaty!” As she said this she seemed to flex her own feet to emphasise her point. “Well why don’t you join us, add your trainers to the pile” “haha... I’d love to... but....” The glint in Anne’s eye and her genuine warm smile were probably factors in her being so convincing thought Sarah. She could see the waitress considering it. Looking at her scuffed Nikes. Sarah noticed she wore a beaded anklet on her left ankle. The colours were in stark contrast to her black shirt jeans and trainers. Anne had already noticed the anklet and couldn’t see any socks- maybe she had no shows on, maybe not. “ Hmm... well I’m done in half an hour, I could come help with the cocktails then...” “Perfect. Leave us your shoes as like a deposit... pretty please” That did the trick, she couldn’t resist any longer. Standing on the heel of her right trainer she eased her bare foot out. Flashing her green nail polish. She repeated the action on her left and revealed a tattoo- a feather adorned the top of her left foot. “Wow!” Said Anne “I love your tattoo. We’ll keep those safe for you” The waitress picked up her trainers and placed them
On the table with a smile. “Ahh that feels heavenly... so.. what can I get you both to eat?” They settled on burgers to soak up the alcohol. “Right then, I best go do some work!” And she left the table walking with a spring in her step and a smile on her face. Sarah found herself watching with fascination. Anne was transfixed. Keeping her eyes on the soles that were revealed and rehidden as the waitress walked away and inside. Sarah was flabbergasted at what had happened. Her face obviously showed it as Anne gave her a smile. “What’s up Sarah?” “I’m just... how?... why?... what just happened” “well I think we just made a new friend” “but how do you do it? Like... make people do things.. I mean you took my shoes and now hers and I don’t even mind... I’d never show my feet normally...” Anne was looking like a Cheshire cat. “And why not? They’re very pretty” “I just... I dunno... I’m shy I guess” “Well we’ll fix that so you can be barefoot more” “That wasn’t...” but Anne cut her off to continue. “As for being persuasive, I just help people do what they already want to by making them more comfortable.. look how happy our friend is over there” she nodded over to the other side of the beer garden where the waitress was serving another table some drinks. She did look happier thought Sarah. Her smile was genuine and she looked light on her feet. She blushed a little and smiled further at something one of her customers said. As she took the empty tray back inside she smiled over at Anne and Sarah who returned the smile. “So cheers to sunshine, alcohol, and bare feet!” “Cheers” replied Sarah with a smirk. She couldn’t help herself being drawn in by Anne’s enthusiasm and energy. Half a cocktail and some idle chat later the waitress returned with their burgers. “Sorry...” started Anne. “I haven’t asked your name.” “Oh sorry, forgot my badge today.... Katie” “Thanks For the food Katie, and your excellent service” “We’re looking after your trainers” added Sarah “are you missing them?” “Ha thanks... and no, not in this heat! Anyway sorry but I’ve got a few things to do before I finish- see you in 10” and she was off again. They both waved her off. “I get the sweaty trainers now” said Anne, “she’s run off her feet”
