The International Hotel By Crossmanx Where East and West meet and old enemies with long-standing rivalries clash! By Crossmanx at crossmanx@hotmail.co.uk - Comments and ideas welcome The International Hotel It had been, at best, an uncomfortable flight and Lee was glad to be in the airport even if there was a que to get through passport control. Once that was all done he headed out to grab a taxi and get his holiday started properly! It had all been a bit of a last minute thing as work had messed up his holiday and he had to take a week off at short notice. His line manager and boss had 'supposedly' already booked off the week that Lee wanted and they couldn't have the both of them off at the same time. So being the new lad and also underling Lee had been 'persuaded' to move his holiday dates forward. But it wasn't all bad as he'd searched the internet for a last minute get away and come across an advertisement for 'The International Hotel', it looked good was on a nice looking holiday island, good weather, hot, quiet cheap and most of all there was night life and women, plus they still had vacancies! So when he booked it seemed to be a the perfect last minute deal and even if he did have to bring his holiday forward it seemed as if it all turned out good in the end. It was a short drive from the airport to the hotel and Lee pulled out the little bit of information he had on the hotel to read through again. The International Hotel was just that; open to everyone from everywhere, set away from the normal areas, but not too far from the night life. It was laid out as a hotel more suited for the mid-twenties and early thirties, not too rowdy and not really suitable for families. More like a back packer's holiday hostile, but a bit smarter and with a pool and bar. When Lee arrived and got out it looked just as he expected a large open bar by the road side with the reception area to the side, than a good size pool behind the bar, and past the pool the hotel itself, nothing too special, but it looked nice. 'Yes this was a good choice!' He made his way into the reception where there was a tall dark haired woman just walking away and down the side of the pool towards the hotel, obviously just booked in and a couple of lads currently completing a couple of forms to finish their registration. Lee soon got talking to the two lads, there was Ruben from Holland and Tobias from Norway, luckily they all seemed to speak good English, which was good for Lee, as languages where not his strong point. The three new friends found their rooms in the hotel then agreed to meet down by the poll, where there was already two other similarly mined young men. Piers from Canada and Elijah from the USA. Now there were five by the pool, which was next to the bar, so time to enjoy themselves. This really was an International Hotel for people to come together and have a good time. There was the Canadian Piers, tall, slim and trying to live up to his French heritage, Ruben from the Netherlands, big, bulky and trying to handle his drink. The tall Norwegian Tobias, blond and the outdoor type, then from America, Elijah, big and black, a powerhouse who's just knows how good he is! Lastly there was Lee the Englishman, the short and stocky one, quiet and polite, when needs be and just pleased to be on holiday and enjoying himself. The men, young men where all around mid to late 20's, no longer the teenage party animals but not quite the laid back adult. They spent the next couple of days by the pool, annoying and trying to pull any and all of the females that where there and when not doing that, they were at the bar. And in the evenings down the town in the clubs and bars. Life was good, the holiday was good, even if none of had pulled yet, but they would! Over the last couple of days there had also been a few other new arrivals at the hotel, three to be precise, well three of any interest. These where three women, to be more accurate three women from the old Eastern block, where the lads where all from the West. The ladies where Petja, a Rumanian woman, a fiery woman of average height, good looks and deep soulless eyes, the sort of woman that could stop you in your tracks with just one glance from her. Next there was Nadia, she was slightly shorter and with fairer hair, Polish and like Petja an eye-catching women who had confidence and an air of mystique about her. Lastly was the woman from Russian, Nika, the tallest, most attractive and also the hardest to try and work out. Her stern face with its short dark hair and striking features was a bit of an anomaly, what was she thinking? Was she angry, happy or sad, she was just too difficult to fathom out. The three women had gotten on well together; maybe it was that old Eastern, Warsaw Pact ideology, even though all that was long in the past. Or was it they were all about the same age, late 20's or even that they were all attractive women. Whatever it was the ladies all got on and where soon spending time by the pool, sunning their well-formed bodies and occasionally sipping cocktails. The Western boys, the Nato Lads, had obviously seen these women and had tried a few chat up line, none that had worked or even got a reply. They had tried bombing the women when they were in the pool and daring each other to try stupid pranks to 'impress' the Warsaw Pact women, but with no success. It was a case of five playful, silly and immature boys from the West and three practical, smart and innovative women from the East. The boys had obvious worked out who the women were and where they from, they all spoke good enough English when they were ordering drinks but most of the time they spoke in an Eastern dialect that none of the lads could understand. Elijah had been the most 'vocal' of the lads in their pursuit of the women, who after day three had become quite a challenge to them. He'd tried everything using his big, bold and brassy American voice and attitude to try and wear the girls down into submission. But the unyielding look, on particularly, Nika's face should have told the lad he was not going to win anyone over that way. He's tried everything, every East v West, Cold War and Detente reference he could think of, but still no success! Nika and the other women didn't suffer fools gladly, so very quickly Elijah, the big, black, loud Yank had become very, very annoying. Then if you introduce Ruben into the scenario, who thought all this was a good idea and then add comments and silly actions from Piers and Tobias, lastly bring in Lee, as he didn't want to be the one left out and things where starting to get just a little too much for the women. After all the women were on holiday too, the ladies had met, got on with each other, had some things and common and just wanted to relax, but there were five, now very annoying Western lads that seemed determined not to leave them alone! It was day four when things came to ahead; the lads had been out the night before down the clubs, drinking, dancing and trying, unsuccessfully, to pull again! The women had been up early after there more subdued but still enjoyable night, they had also gone out had drunk less, danced more and had a very good time with some more polite, mature and friendly men. The ladies had indeed had a better night. That next morning and the women where already up early and settled by the side of the pool in their bikini's and taking in the sun, they had already had their morning coffee and breakfast and were now lying on the sunloungers soaking up the rays. The lads had all fallen out of bed and with the assistance of a cold shower had come round back to the land of the living. Shorts on and towels in hand they all met up and headed for the pool, also time for the boys to get some sun and a beer, of course! They grabbed their usual group of sunloungers, along the side of the pool, with the women at the top on their loungers and the bar at the bottom end, the lads where in the perfect position. The women, as always, looked stunning in their bikini's and where trying to enjoy the sun and soak it all up, they were also trying to ignore the noisy males as they dived in and splashed around, but it was difficult. Then a taxi pulled up outside near to the bar and three men got out, they looked around the bar and pool area then waved, the women waved back and the men walked over to them. The lads wondered what was going on here, strangers in 'their' hotel? The men were a lot older than the girls that they had now walked up to and kissed in a friendly 'hello' greeting! Plus they had now unpacking a bag and where laying towels down on the sunlounger next to the girls! 'What was going on?' Ruben had brought over a round of drinks to the lads as they sat around pondering the situation, Piers though he recognised the men, 'yes, last night they were with the girls at one point!' It was true these older men, the lads had even see 'grey hairs' so they must be old, had been with the girls at one point. The lads had seen them and the girls in the second, or was it the third club, they had been in. But the lads had been distracted by a group of six or seven German girls and gone after them, with the obvious little, to no success. It was true the girls had met up with these three men, older than them and yes there was grey hair there, but the girls, the women, knew and appreciated that an older man is politer, more respectful and can handle their drink without having to try and out drink someone else, unlike the boys! The older men where better travelled, more experience, could hold a proper conversation and much better between the sheets. With the older man it wasn't just 'wham, bam thank you mam' it lasted longer, was more satisfying and much more enjoyable when you have a man who can actually go all night long! So after meeting them and a few drinks, some talking and dancing and a good night kiss, the women had invited the men over to their hotel to join them. And for the much younger lads this wasn't going down too well, after all they were there first, the girls should have chosen one of them, young, fit and eager, not someone old! There was a hint of jealously that was rising in the Western lads having been turned down at every opportunity by these Eastern girls. Over the next hour or so while the sound of conversation and laughter came from the woman and men, the lads got more and more frustrated. And when the women had got the men to apply sun cream to them, well the lads didn't like that at all! Then when one of the men had gone to the bar to get some drinks Elijah grasped the opportunity to make the man look a fool in front of the girls. As this older man passed by the group of lads all sat down on their sunloungers and carefully carrying a tray of drinks back to where the women were. The bold black man put his foot out and tripped up the man. He went tumbling forwards, drinks flying everywhere, instantly Nika jumped up as it was her man that had been tripped, she hadn't seen Elijah do the deed but she just knew what had happened. The man was down on the floor and quickly trying to get up as the group of lads giggled and laughed, the tall Russian women quickly went over to the man and helped him, they spoke briefly and he returned back to the others. At this point both Nadia and Petja had joined Nika. Elijah stood up "what's the matter your old man there need his walking stick?" the other lad's laughed "or is he your father, or maybe grandfather!" More bursts of laughter, then in her best English but with that very attractive Russian accent "you stupid boy, you don't know real man when you see him!" She was about to turn around when Elijah reached out and grabbed the tall dark haired woman "I don't like being called 'stupid' little girl, you understand me?" Nika understood all right he was a typical American, thinks he's owns the place, thinks he's better than everyone else, well he wasn't better than her WHACK! The Russians free arm swung around and her clenched fist had smashed into the side of his face, the Yank was taken completely by surprise, as where his friends who all gasped in shock at what had just happened. Elijah was sent stumbling and tumbling over the sunlounger he was next to, dropping him to the floor and so making a fool of him. Immediately Ruben shot to his feet and was halfway through saying something in Dutch when THUD! A fist struck him, but this time it was delivered by the Rumanian, Petja, then and without being asked to join in, Polish Nadia kicked out striking Lee in his face as he sat down and knocking him over and down to the floor. Piers and Tobias pushed themselves upwards SMACK! WHACK! Nadia and Petja had struck again and now all of the five lads where down on their arses wondering 'what the hell happened!' The women turned round to go back to their men when a very angry and humiliated Elijah got back to his feet "YOU!" the women looked back to see the big black man head their way, his face looked as if it was going to explode, which made him look even silly than he did normally. He was headed straight for the Russian, when Nadia and Petja each stepped to the side and out of the way, as the American got to Nika, SLAP! THUD! Nadia's foot had shot out and slammed into the man's gut, followed by Petja's fist slamming into the side of his head. The double strike left the man stunned and shaken and gave Nika the perfect opportunity to WHACK! She jumped up and kicked out, sending her bare foot up, and at the right moment she flipped it up into the bottom of the man's jaw, sending his head and body flying backwards. As Elijah fell backwards his arms flapped about trying to gain his balance, but it was never going to work, he crashed to the floor, the air fill with the heavy slapping sound as he fell against the wet floor by the pool. There was a loud cry and Nadia turned to see the flying Dutchman, Ruben rushing at her, at the same time Petja caught sight of Tobias as he was heading her way. 'So this is how they wanted to play things!' THUD! OOOWWHHH! CRUNCH! UUUHHHHHH! Nadia had struck out, her foot had made contact with Ruben's groin, instantly stopping the large man in his tracks and bringing a whole new meaning to the word pain! She'd not been gentle either; it was a full blown kick and one that had brought tears to the lad's eyes. The Polish woman now took a step backwards and jumped from one foot to the other, at the same time she swung her free leg around and pounded her foot hard into the bear belly of the Dutchman SMACK! There was a slapping sound that seemed to echo around the pool as the woman's foot slammed into the oversize belly of the large man. She hit him hard, shocking him and driving, what reaming air he had in him after being kicked in the balls, out of him. His face screwed up in agony and he closed his eyes, so he didn't now see Nadia jump up and WHACK! As she came down she drove her fist down hard into his face, the lad's head spun round, blood and spit flew out as Ruben was sent crashing down to his knees. At the same time Petja had made her own move on the advancing Tobias, she had sent the heel of her foot straight into the oncoming lads knee cap, there was a horrible crunching sound as she struck him and he called out in anguish. Then quickly she had thrown herself into a spinning kick, her foot had come flying round and up, then came crashing down into the Norwegian lads chest THUD! Again there was a cry of pain as Tobias staggered and dropped down onto one knee, luckily for him it was his good one. Petja came down back onto her feet, then quickly reached out and grabbed hold of the knelt man in front of her, her knee came back then shot forward and drove into Tobias WALLOP! Rumania held onto Norway as she now brought her strong leg back and once more drove her knee hard into the lad THUMP! WHACK! THUD! She pounded the lad, striking his upper body, pounding his chest and smashing that knee into his face again and again and again. It was almost as if the woman was having fun whilst she smashed him! While all this was going on Elijah was struggling back to his feet, Nika moved quickly towards him, grabbing hold before he was fully up and WHACK! She slammed her firm Russian thigh into his weak American's face, blood splattered from his cut lip and he tumbled over another sunlounger and back down to the floor. Then the Russian saw Lee, he was back on his feet and shaking his groggy head, the woman kicked out WHCAK! WHACK! One spinning kick after the other, but still the Brit was standing; he was tougher than he looked WHACK! Another harsh kick and all she had done was manage to knock him a few steps backwards, this time she kicked out hard, really hard, landing he foot into the centre of his chest. And this time the lad was taken down, Lee went flying backwards and into the smart looking hedgerow that ran down at the rear of the side of the pool. The Russian woman turned to see how her friends where doing, Nadia was stood over the hurt Dutchman Ruben down on his knees. The Polish woman took a step closer to him and CRACK! Her fist drove down into the man's jaw, sending his head spinning and down to the floor; the Dutchman was out cold, one up to the women of the East. Nearby and the Rumanian woman was also on top and also had a lad on his knees in front of her, but this time she throws herself into a spin, as she twirled she came in closer and drove that sharp, hard knee now into the side of Tobias head SMASH! The Norwegian topped, and like a large pine tree falling, so Tobias slamming into the floor next to his friend, a second lad out for the count and now it was three versus three! Nadia turned back to both Lee and Elijah, the black man was still down but the short stocky lad had fought his way out of the hedgerow and was on his way towards the Russian woman. But the tall Nika simply reached out grabbed hold of Lee when he was close enough, then she'd turned and SPLASH! The woman had taken the lad down with a skilled throw; only thing was that Lee didn't land on the floor he was sent into the pool ... ... For a refreshing swim! The hotel barman was shocked with all he had just witnessed and rushed out to help; Nika turned and gave the new man a stare that stopped him in his tracks. He raised his arms to show he was of no threat and didn't want any trouble, then slowly started to back away. He was going to be neutral in all this, he could see it was a no win situation! All this time one of the lads had stayed out of the action, after just being hit once, Piers had been stunned with what he'd seen and also, if truth be known was a bit scared of what he had witnessed. During all of this the three men just lay here on their sunloungers at the far end of the pool and watched, but to be fair they did have an idea about what their new female friends were like. The night before, when they had met the women in a club, they were drawn to the women, of course, and where surprised when these girls from the East had been so positive in talking to them. After a few drinks and few dances and lots of talking and laughing the men had walked the women to a taxi. Just before they got there the women had pinned the men against a wall for their 'goodnight kiss', the men had been over powered as the younger females assaulted the men's mouths with their tongues, in a nice way. But three local young lads had disturbed the moment as they had drunkenly made their way down the street and seen the passionate scene. Tthe Soviet women had not liked the fact they had been disturbed and showed their displeasure in a very similar way to how they were currently dealing with the Western lads, So the three older man had already seen their women in action once, but even so to see then dishing out hurt and pain whilst dressed in a bikini was still something else to behold! The three men carried on watching, whilst also getting aroused, as they now looked on as Nadis and Petja sauntered over to Piers and Nika, by the side of the pool placed her foot on Lee's head as he came up for air, and pushed down, thrusting him back under the water. Piers stood there arms stretched out, hands open as if to protect himself as he babbled something, speaking to fast in a mixture of French and English. Not that the women were listening WHACK! SMASH! Two feet shot out, one from each woman and struck the babbling lad, one foot caught him in his groin the other in his gut, both kicks caused great pain and sent the Canadian down to his knees. The two women quickly share a glance then WOOOOSSHHHH! THUD! THUD! Nadia turned to the left and Petja twilled around to the right with the end result of Piers receiving one foot slamming into each side of his face. His head was pounded and squashed by two strong, forceful bare feet as they had swung around and slammed into his. The colliding feet had now dropped the third lad and sent him into a deep unconscious sleep, just like his other two friend. That left three women and just two lads! Nika took her foot off Lee's head and allowed him to gasp for breath and scramble to the side of the pool, which he hung onto as he filled his lungs. Nadia and Petja now moved onto Elijah, dragging the big black man up and slamming into him with their fists, showing the American what Soviet women can still do. They battered his body and face until they drew blood and then still carried on some more. Once they had pounded him enough, well almost enough, the two women grabbed him and flung his towards Nika, then Nadia and Petja went over to the side of the pool reached down and hauled the half drown Lee up out of the water. Elijah tumbled over the floor towards the tall Russian woman, whilst Petja grabbed onto Lee's arms from behind and held him there whilst Nadia set about him with her fists. The tall Nika lashed out at Elijah as he cowered there on the floor before her, she slapped, hit, punched and kicked him, the big, bold man was getting his just deserts for his arrogant attitude. Lee was still on the receiving end of his beating, but he was made of sturdy stuff as the women where finding out, they changed over so now Nadia restrained the lad and Petja set about using her feet to hurt and break the Brit. The Russian woman knew that the Yank couldn't take much more, not matter how big and tough he had looked, she gave him a chance to surrender to her "Here boy ... " in that sexy broken English and sultry Russian accent " ... kiss this and all will be over for you!" She placed her foot forwards for Elijah to clearly see "no kiss, I carry on, you kiss, I finish ... What you say American?" He was left with little choice; already on the ground he didn't have far to move so he could kiss her foot and stop this. As his lips got close and he was about to kiss her foot, the Russian woman quickly moved it out of the way. She laughed as Elijah was now kissing the floor in front her, she flicked her foot, so slamming his face with it. At the same time Petja delivered a spinning kick into Lee's body, it hurt him that was sure, but still this stubborn lad was not broken! Nika reached down and hauled Elijah up onto his knees, then WHACK! She drove her knee hard into his jaw, the man instantly started to fall backwards, whilst behind Nika, the two other women were still working on Lee, Nadia had released her hold and thrown him forward, now she assaulted his back with harsh punches whilst Petja carried on slamming her feet into his front. Back with Nika and before Elijha could fall to far back, the Russian woman had thrown herself into a spin, her foot came round and slammed into the man's head. It was a pounding strike that made Elijah head busts, he was out cold before he hit the floor THUD! Nika stepped over and astride the fallen man, the tall dark haired Russian woman looked down as she towered over and across the beaten black American male, the woman smiled 'that would teach this capitalist pig!' Nearby and Lee had been swung around so that now both Petja and Nadia where facing him and ponding him, but still the short stocky lad managed to stay standing, he wobbled and swayed but he still stood, he was a tough nut to crack, but they were determined to break him! WHACK! THUD! Nadia and Petja both kicked out, their feet swinging round and striking Lee hard in his upper body, knocking him back and sending him staggering once more. Then out of nowhere they was a yell and he could just about make out a shape, a figure running at him. Before he could focus fully there was a loud smacking sound as two bodies smashed into each other and SPLASH! Nika had seen the Brit stagger back after her friends had struck out at him, and had seized the opportunity to take the defiant lad out. The Russian had run at Lee and at the right moment she'd thrown herself at him, slamming into him as he stumbled backwards. The force of her landing on him was enough to take the lad over the edge, literally, as the pair of them fell into the pool. As the entwined pair had hit the water Nika held onto Lee and dragged him down to the bottom of the pool with her. She'd known what she was going to do so had filled her lungs with air as she'd catapulted herself at him. Lee on the other hand had been taken completely by surprise, and as he fell into the water and was being slowly dragged down by the woman, panic set in, and set in very quickly! At the bottom of the pool Lee struggled and thrashed around but the leggy women with her long arms, wrapped herself around the short stocky lad and held him there. The more he struggled the more of his vital air was used up and Nika could see the sheer terror in his eyes. He struggled and panicked, but just at the right moment she released her hold on him and made her way to the surface. Then as quickly as he could, in his drained state, Lee also headed upwards and as he broke the surface he took in as much air as she could. He somehow had enough strength left to clamber over to the side of the pool, so he could hold on and rest. But hands where soon on him and the drained lad was hauled out of the water and onto his feet by the side of the pool WHACK! Petja drove the back of her clenched fist across his face, knocking Lee backwards, he staggered as blood now ran down from his lip SMACK! Nadia's foot was driven hard into Lee's gut, winding him and depraving him of the much needed oxygen had wanted. He doubled over in pain, then THUD! Nika had jumped and thrusted her knee upward, smashing it into Lee's face, again sending the lad staggering backwards. The three Soviet ladies again each lashed out at the stubborn Brit who would not go down, how he was still standing, if only just, was a mystery. Even Lee didn't know how his unstable legs where holding him upright, but he couldn't think straight anyway his head was a mush of pain, hurt and confusion. The only way to put this one down was a combined strike, a join attack to defeat him, there was a quick glance by the three women to each other then CRACK! Together they struck out, three females kicking out and striking at the same time, Nadia's foot drove into his gut, Petja's foot crashed into the chest and Nika' foot collided into Lee's face. The triple strike was perfect, but not for Lee, the force of the women's strike had taken him off his feet and sending him flying. The joint Soviet ladies attack had finally finished off Lee, he was probably unconscious before he hit the water SPLASH! The women had catapulted him back into the pool, victorious they turned around and made their way back slowly to the top of the pool where the men were still watching them. The men on their sunloungers where excited and in awe of what the women had done, each of them a little apprehensive as to what these women would be like in bed after the energy and vigour they had put into destroying these lad, what would their love making be like! The barman had quickly jumped into the pool to rescue Lee, he'd waited until the woman had walked away to help out as he didn't want to be seen taking sides! The five decadent Western males lay scattered over the pool area, defeated; the three superior Soviet women had laid waste to the men of Nato, the Warsaw Pact had won this one! Now the three women looked down at their men, the war had come to an end and now it was time for a different type of conflict, time for some hard hand to hand fighting and an assault between the sheets ... ... !
