Help find the name of a story xoxo

Right. So After Hours is the most helpful place in the world right?

I read what I believe was a short story (unlikely but possibly an excerpt from a longer story) years ago in the paper and I always thought it was one of the best short stories I had ever read. Only problem is I remember very few details at this point in time. So I need AH to help.

The Basic premise is that of a young girl (maybe on holidays) at the beach alone. She falls and scrapes herself I think and comes across a man (He may have been a family friend and/or he may have been a Doctor) Either way he lives nearby. They retire to his abode whereupon he tries the moves but not in an overt rapey way.
Just a totally inappropriate way. After their brief encounter (I think it was a once off encounter) the girl returns home whereupon after a brief conversation with her mother it becomes apparent the girl is overweight, unpopular and unattractive. HOWEVER, the girl gets a new found sense of confidence from the creepy encounter.

DISCLAIMER: This story could potentially not exist.

Please help soothe my weary mind.

DISCLAIMER PART 2: I realise reading this back it sounds like a **** story. Understand I am **** at explaining things.

First one to find the story for me wins the mystery box.
Or the Washer Dryer combo

He tries the moves but not in a rapey way

hahahah I think you should become a writer yourself OP.

It's sounds more like a movie I've seen or something......

Why is a can of Coke in the fridge in the local Topaz €1.07, but yet two feet away its four cans for €2 ?

****er :P Here I was frantically googling that, slightly erect at the thought of getting this hardcore word porn I've been searching for, for years, only to be put face to face with Meryl Streep.

And at 2 feet away how much is one can?

One can imagine that one can's price wouldn't be effected by the distance one can stand from it.

Maybe 2 Feet Away is a new convience store?

If that was one of the best stories you've ever read then you really need to read a lot more.

I think the man in the story is Rolf Harris.

Sounds like that early episode of Home and Away where Alf Stewart molested Sally Fletcher!

Probably because, most of the time, people only want one can.

You pay for convenience. I have a can of Coke here in Birmingham - how much would you be willing to pay for ownership of said can of Coke?
