Chapter Five
“You sure you want me to go with you tonight?”he asked.
“I wouldn’t have asked if I didn’t mean it.”she replied.“You use the downstairs bathroom. I am using the bathroom up here.”Having said that she promptly got up from the bed, and walked towards the bathroom without dressing, or bothering to put on a robe. He just laid there enjoying the view. What a sweet ass she has, he remarked to himself. He felt himself rise a bit. Down boy, he told himself.
“Well, don’t just lay there. Get ready. Dinner is at seven. It will take us a half an hour to get there.”He immediately got out of the bed. She was standing there looking at him through the mirror in the bathroom. He was sticking straight out. She felt herself grow warm, and damp. She now walked towards the shower with it’s clear glass surround. She opened the door and stepped inside. She turned on the single water tap, and adjusted it for water temperature, then stepped under the hot stream of water. She found the soap and began to lather herself all over. She began to wash her legs, when she felt something extra. Unknown to her, Jim had joined her in the shower.
“Don’t stop,”he instructed. She continued to wash what she’d found. It grew under her attentions. She felt herself begin to want him again. As she faced him, she put her arms around his neck, and then gripped him with her legs, this allowed him to sink deeply into her. She kissed him, as her breasts pressed against his chest.
“We’re not going to make it on time to the dinner,”she said, as she moved herself up and down on him.
“So, we’re a little late. We’ll just say we stopped to have dessert first,”he said as he held her nicely rounded cheeks in his hands.
“Or we can simply say something came up,”she added as she increased her movement. The pleasure she was feeling shone on her face, as he watched her. He tasted of her breasts, and she came in one long rhythm. It seemed to last a very long time. He came shortly after she did. They stood there for what seemed like an hour glued together, when at long last she eased herself from him. She kissed him then turned and began to wash once more. He helped by washing her back, then massaging her shoulders and back muscles. It felt good. She turned towards him, and had him turn around so she could do the same to him. He was enjoying her attentions. She expertly washed then massaged his back and shoulders.
“You’re good. How much do you charge?”
“You can’t afford me.”She now soaped that part of him and expertly massaged him. She knelt down in front of him and took him into her mouth. She also expertly played on him, much to his delight. He came as her hands played with him. She felt his pleasure, and also came. They embraced and let the hot water flow over them. With one last kiss she kissed him, then exited the shower to let him finish. She set about drying herself, then dressing, and then drying her hair, and lightly putting on a bit of makeup. It was her habit not to wear much. He had finished his shower, and was also dressing. At long last they both were ready to go.
“You clean up pretty well,”he remarked, kissing her.
“If we don’t leave now, we never will. She reluctantly moved from his arms.“You get the car. I’ll lock up, and set the alarm. He now walked down the stairs towards the garage. She found her purse, then looked around. She picked up the wet towels and hung them up to dry. She quickly pulled the sheets from the bed, then put them into the laundry chute. Lastly she slipped on her shoes, and walked downstairs. She turned on a couple of table lamps, then the radio, and locked the sliding glass back door. She looked out at the sea. The waves were softly lapping on the beach. A perfect night to spend on the sand with Jim she thought. She looked around one last time, and walked towards the front door, with purse in hand. She reached down for the brass door knob, found it, and gave it a turn. The door lock responded, letting her pull the door towards her. She stepped through the door, and closed it behind her. She briefly tested the lock to see if it had locked. It had. She quickly descended the steps to the waiting car with Jim behind the wheel. Jim opened the door for her and she slid into the passenger seat. From the cover of a few trees he watched as she drove away. Somehow, for some reason, she sensed someone had been near. That it had been him. She felt herself become warm, and perhaps a little damp.
“Where to?”Jim asked.
“Days Inn. You know where that is don’t you?”
“Yes! About five miles down route 5, on the right.”
“Correct,”said Julie, who didn’t say another word during the trip. Jim knew how she could get, especially with her family. He wondered how he would be received. He had wanted to discuss it with her, but she was somewhere else. He let her enjoy the silence.
They reached the Days Inn. Jim pulled the car into the parking lot.
“What room are your parents in?”he asked
“I think June said twenty-five. There it is over to the left. Jim pulled the car into a parking space almost in front of the room. A late model Lexus, silver in color, was parked directly in front of the room.
“Dad must have gotten a new car,”remarked Julie as she got out.
“Nice car,”added Jim as he too got out. He remotely locked the doors as they walked towards the room.
“How are we going to handle this?”asked Jim.
“Just play it by ear,”said Julie as she knocked on the door. It was almost immediately answered by her father. A small man now stood in the door way.
“Julie!”he exclaimed embracing his daughter as she walked into the room.“Who’s this he inquired, eyeing Jim up and down a bit, as he too stepped into the room closing the door behind him.
“Dad, this is Jim Chang my boy-friend.”
“Nice to meet you Jim,”said her father shaking his hand with a surprising strong grip. There plainly was more to this man than it seemed, thought Jim.
“Mother! Julie is here,”yelled Julie’s father. Julie’s mother walked into the room.
“Julie! How are you dear?”, said her Mother also embracing her.“Who’s this good looking fellow with you?”
“Mother! This is Jim Chang, my boy-friend.”
“Nice to meet you Jim,”said her mother softly shaking his hand.
“Everyone have a seat. June will be here anytime,”said Julie’s father.
“She’s not here yet? She said dinner was at seven. It’s now seven-thirty,”added Julie.“
“Dinner’s at eight. I suspect June just said that to get you here early,”remarked her father. Julie now felt uncomfortable. Not having seen her parents for two years, she knew they’d have all sorts of questions for her. She had hoped to avoid such questions. Wait until I see that sister of mine she thought. Then there was a knock at the door. Julie’s father got up to answer the door. It was June. Julie was relieved. The questions would wait.
“Who’s this?”remarked June.“It sort of looks like my little sister, Julie! And who’s this handsome guy?”June embraced her sister in a warm hug.“You’ve lost weight haven’t you? And look at me. I’ve gained ten pounds.”
“Jim, this is my older sister,’said Julie. Everyone now were encouraged to sit down. There was a momentary silence when June said, Hey folks, dinner is at eight, and I’m starved. Shall we go?”Everyone now stood up, looking around, wondering what to do next.
“Mom, Dad, I’ll go with you. Julie, you and Jim follow us. With this decided, everyone made for the door of the hotel room. Julie and Jim got back into their car and waited, while June and her parents got into their car. Jim waited to pull out, then followed the car in which his possible future in-laws were riding. He was surprised June was so much older than Julie. She had never said how much older her sister was. June was in her late thirties, where-as Julie was just twenty-four. He wondered if Julie might have been a oops.
“Where are we eating?”asked Jim.
“I’m not sure. I suppose somewhere close.”
“You never said your sister was much older than you.”
“Didn’t I?”
“Were you an oops?”
“I guess you co
uld say that. Dad got Mom drunk during their anniversary, and one thing lead to another. Nine months later to the day, I was born. Even the doctor was surprised, but not as much as my mother. She’d thought her baby days were behind her, then I show up. Dad was delighted. Mother not so much. I was told Dad bragged for months. Still shooting live rounds is how he put it. Mom said it was because the old bastard got her drunk. Screwed the ears off her all night. And the strange part of it all, she doesn’t remember any of it. She said she ought to at least remember enjoying it, but doesn’t. All she remembered was the hang-over the next morning. She said when she woke up, Dad had a smile on his face, and he slept well into the morning. Something he never did. He’s up at six thirty every morning. In bed by ten. You can set your watch by him.
“I guess this is where we are eating,”remarked Jim, seeing the Lexus pull into a rather nice looking restaurant. Jim pulled up right beside the Lexus, and he and Julie got out of their car, a late model Cadi. Jim liked high powered cars. The Cadi was a lease car through the State department. They traded in every year. It was a special government lease. They hardly had to pay for anything. Even the oil changes were taken care of. This particular car was an experimental car. It got ninety miles per gallon. And it was an eight cylinder. The hood was generally sealed. The dealer re-sealed the hood after every oil change, and took the computer readings of the car. Oil changes were every two thousand miles. They generally were given a loaner car when the oil was changed, because it took all day at the dealer. Only synthetic oil was used. Jim had never seen red oil before.
“Well I guess this is where we eat,”declared Julie’s father, as everyone got out of the Lexus. Everyone went inside, and had a delicious meal. There was general small talk. Julie and Jim did play it by ear. They didn’t disclose their positions at State, nor did they disclose much else, other than when and where they met, which also wasn’t the truth. None of it was. They were well practiced in the art of not telling the truth. It was part of their job. Their sometimes dangerous jobs. More dangerous for Jim. There just still were places a woman couldn’t go, and a man could. Juliet last year thought she was going to loose Jim, when he wound up shot. One of those routine jobs, that turned out not so routine. Jim got shot. They said an inch more to the left and Jim would have been dead. Jim spent two months in a hospital. A special State Department hospital. Limited outside access. Lots of security. Julie stayed in a room next to his for two weeks. The information Jim brought back was invaluable. Much is made of Chinese spies in the US, but little is made of US spies in China, at least not by the western press. And the Chinese papers only print what they are told to print. Jim was buying information about Chinese spies in the US, when it turned bad, and the shooting started. Jim took one to the chest. Two Chinese spies were killed, and buried in unmarked graves in Japan. The Chinese never found out what happened to them. The rumor was they defected. Nothing was ever proven.
The meal generally went well. Julie’s parent’s got to know Jim a bit, and they seemed to like him. Perhaps it was that they could tell how much he loved their daughter and how much she loved him. This was all that mattered to them, their daughters happiness, and she did seem to be happy. Julie promised again she’d be at her sister’s wedding, not mentioning something indeed could come up. Both Jim and Julie knew their vacations would probably be interrupted. Most likely would be. They lived on the edge, a dangerous edge. Theirs was an uncertain world in which they lived. The only certainty was the uncertainty.
Jim and Julie thanked her parents and sister for the nice evening then headed home. Julie suggested they take the coast road so they could watch the setting sun. They found a spot and stopped. Julie moved closer to Jim on the seat. She put her arms around his neck and kissed him, then was content to remain in his arms. The sun was disappearing on the horizon, and the lights of the city were coming on. It was a beautiful sight. They each knew they really only had today. Julie had thought of the child she had lost many times since. Perhaps it was for the best. Perhaps somehow something was telling her something. She’d wanted to share this with Jim, but didn’t. Such knowledge would only complicate their lives together. She thought back to her night with him, and wondered what it meant, and why she’d sought someone else out? She’d enjoyed it. She would again if the opportunity presented itself. She knew he was still around. She was a woman with two lovers. She would hide one from the other for as long as she could.
Chapter Six
“Did anyone see you come in here?”he asked.
“Not that I know of. I was especially careful.”
“Let’s hope so.”
“Why’d you want to see me in the first place?”the smaller man asked.
“They want to be sure the lid stays on. I hear there was someone from State snooping around.”
“Yes, there was. That was a near thing. We lost two agents somehow. It’s assumed they are dead seeing how they haven’t shown up.”
“You know how much hell there would to be if this got out.”
“I don’t know if it was worth the previous 200,000 dead, and now this, even if the oil found is worth an estimated 5 trillion yen.”
“We’re tired of playing footsy with the Americans and OPEC. It’s time China was energy independent.”
“Yes, I know, but what if some of our neighbors want a cut?”
“I’m sure there will be arrangements made to keep the peace. There is more than enough to go around. What happen to the person from State? Did you take care of him?”
“I thought you didn’t want anyone killed. I had him let go. He thinks probably it was just a near thing.”
“You did right. We don’t want the Americans nosing into things this early in the game. They might spoil things.”
“But 200,000 dead? And look at the damage.”
“It couldn’t be helped. A tsunami can always happen when we are working so close to fault lines, and active under water volcanoes.”
“I had several friends killed, you bastard.”
“You really don’t want to take that tone with me. You stand to make a lot of money here.”The smaller man held his tongue. Yes, he was going to be making a lot of money. He perhaps was in too deep to get out. Besides, he really didn’t want someone pulling up to his car at a traffic light and blowing his brains out.
“Alright. What do you want me to do? He is living with another person who also works at State.”
“Just have them watched. You can listen in on them I trust?”
“Yes. We have the newest thing in listening devices. You can hear a flea fart.”The bigger and older man wondered why one would want to hear a flea fart? It must be one of those American sayings. He vaguely remembered some of the sayings Americans had, when he was in Vietnam during the war years.
“Keep me posted, and stay out of the way of the Americans. Don’t do anything unless you contact me first. I don’t want to suddenly disappear either.”
That being said, their conversation was over, and the two men left the small cafe by different routes.
“You think we ought to go home now?”asked Julie.
“I’m enjoying being here with you, and letting the problems be someone else’s for a while. Jim had wondered when she was going to tell him about the baby she had lost last year? He also knew about her possibly not being able to have kids. They could always adopt. They weren’t even man and wife yet and he was thinking of such things. She had been looking and sounding tired lately.
“I’m also enjoying being here like this with you. You want to get naked in the back seat together?”
“We might be seen, besides the police patrol this area.”
“Spoil sport,”she said, as she rubbed him through his pants. Then without his approval, she undid the zipper of his pants, and took him out, and covered him with her eager mouth. He could hardly say no to this. He sat back and enjoyed her attentions. Just then a patrol car did arrive flashing a spot light here and there. Jim started the car and began to pull a
way, back the way they had come. This didn’t bother Julie. She just continued to play on him. Jim was doing his best to drive. He felt himself tense, then Julie did something entirely unexpected. She sat on his lap, facing him. Somehow she had prepared herself for him, and he sank deeply into her. Driving now definitely was a problem. They’d really get pulled over if a cop saw them. Jim looked for somewhere to pull over. He found it, though he hoped the police didn’t set up their usual radar trap tonight, because he pulled the car behind a bill-board the cops used, and turned off the cars lights and ignition, letting the soft music from the radio to still play.
“You know you are impossible, don’t you,”he said.
“I just know what I want, then go for it,”she said, as she now moved in earnest up and down on him. She kissed him then bit his ear, then kissed him again. His hands went to her breasts through her blouse. Her nipples were nicely pointed. He unbuttoned her blouse, and took one of her nipples in his mouth.
“It feels like you have done this before,”she remarked. Dear Old Mom probably got a thrill from you as a baby.
“I always wondered where I learned it,”he remarked in-between sucking on her nipple.
“I’d say, you learned real well,”she said as she felt herself on the verge. She felt him tense within her.
“Do you love me?”she asked between kisses.
“Yes! he returned. “Why do you ask?”
“I don’t think I can have kids. I lost our baby last year.”
“I know,”he said.
“How do you know?!”she now asked with great interest.
“The doctor told me.”
“He wasn’t suppose to tell you. How dare he?”
“He felt I should know, especially given the type of jobs we have.?
“Does it make any difference?”she questioned.
“No! Not to me. We can always adopt.”Just as he had said this she tightened her grip on him, and they both came, in one long delightful moment. They now embraced each other and hung on to each other. His response had for some reason surprised her. She felt something warm within her. She almost felt guilty for the other day with him on the beach, but stopped short of being so. She kissed Jim. He kissed her. She still held him firmly within her. He kissed both her breasts, and then pulled her close to him and simply held her. She rested her head on his shoulder. A shutter ran through her, then a series of small waves of pleasure. She could remain like this forever she thought.
