It was a long haul flight. After hours of turbulence and bumps, we finally arrived at our destination. I had been working as a flight attendant for a few months, and I was getting used to the routine.
As we reached our hotel and got our hotel room keys, the stewardess who was more senior than me and working in my galley asked me if I would be willing to stay in her hotel room with her for the night.
She said she was scared of the dark and needed someone to keep her company in her hotel room.
I was taken aback by the request. I had never been asked to do something like this before and I was unsure of how to respond.
I politely declined, but she kept insisting, saying that she was scared of the dark and really needed someone to stay with her in her hotel room.
I hesitated, but I eventually agreed to stay with her in her hotel room, because I did not want to offend a more senior colleague.
Our airline is very known for the culture where the seniors are to be respected by the juniors and whenever we are requested to do something we would have to ‘kowtow’ and oblige.
When we arrived at the hotel room, she immediately asked me to undress and go ahead to shower first.
She said that it was too hot and I had been working hard so I should shower first and change into some fresh clothes.
There were two super single beds in the hotel room and after I finished showering, I snuggled into one of them under the sheets.
When she came out of the shower, she asked me to sleep in her bed with her.
I was completely taken aback by this request, and I told her that I was uncomfortable with the idea.
She then said that she was scared of the dark and needed someone to sleep with her. I still felt uncomfortable and I told her that I would sleep on a separate bed.
However she immediately jumped into my bed and forced a kiss on me and after a bit of struggling, I gave in and we ended up ‘doing it’.
I mean, it was a free gift and I have always heard that there is a ‘sleeping around’ culture in this airline so why not just go for it right?
