Jian
Dinner at Ray's Boathouse, we watched the fish jump and bald eagles soar! Quite a spectacular sunset watching boats go in and out of the shipping locks around the corner.
We left that beautiful city the following day via Hong Kong to Bangkok. A nice cabin with Cho and a soft bed. I did the sleep thing for a long time, eating didn't ever work for me on planes. Cho looked so peaceful in his bed, sound asleep. 20 hours later we were at Suvarnabhumi Airport with Lek and security waiting.
Jian and Ting at the front door, I held her for a long time. Oh, a new inflatable plastic cast.
"We have to get you something besides gray though!" Jian giggled over that.
In our bed, warm, wrapped around each other, happy to be home. That's how I felt about it now!
35
A hot cup of Amporn's coffee and a plate of salapaos in the morning. Yes! Sun beaming down on the terrace, Cho sitting beside me. Jian and Ting coming out, "We're going to have a bit of company for a week or so."
I told them about Eric coming back for the OS X Server install which got raised eyebrows and an hhhmmming from Jian. Reg and Rona too.
Jian walking easily on her new cast parked herself in my lap. Kisses! Hugs! "We will be a bigger family. Does Malee know yet?" I didn't know but guessed they didn't need any communications help from me.
The small check and sleeveless blue and white with dress, blue belt and shoes, blue stockings and blue scarf/sling with MacBook Air briefcase and blue purse. Jian in a white skirt and red blouse, one red heel ready to go. Lek dropped us off, happy to be driving me again.
Ku gave me a big hug; I told her how well Eve was doing. She showed me some pics of my house Eve sent, "It looks so nice!" I said she ought to visit sometime. Huge smile!
Eve would be home Monday! Good! Ku and Jian went to fussing about doing things as I made calls. Kavnu had been back over to BangBamru to follow up, the work was excellent. The scanners were all working and Yaison was scanning away. I asked him if he could come to the Railroad Building in the afternoon to meet with Udorn and me.
Kamol gave me a squeeze, "You look very smart! Udorn is happy, go in to see."
He was on his balcony, "Fay, come here. I have news. My Ubon is pregnant!"
He got HUGE hug! "Yes! I know we are not young but it is good for us. She is very pleased!"
We chatted about how his grown sons felt, they were very happy for their parents. "She is 41 but in good health so we are hopeful all will be well. Now, can you and Cho come to dinner soon?"
We made tentative plans for Sunday; I had to talk to Cho.
We got to business. I gave him a rundown of what would be happening and in what order about the OS X Servers. We went over which rail yards to be done next and who would do each.
At my desk I called Mr. Keren. I had emailed him some pics I'd taken of Samuel/Suchart and everyone. There was one of me holding his newest grandchild, "You look like a natural!" Oh, shit!
That warm laugh, "Kay really liked meeting you. She kidded me about taking you down the aisle until I said that we considered you our second daughter. She cried a bit. She felt a real connect to you so you are in, my dear!"
I had teared up, he could hear it in my voice, "Fay, so many people love you! You make it easy by being loving yourself. Do not cry except in happiness." He said a few more nice things and he had a person I should meet about the SRS when could I meet? We decided Thursday morning at home. He would arrange it. He rang off.
Ku rescued me with tea and cakes. Jian came back from taking some printouts upstairs so we all plowed in. I was licking my lips when Mr. Keren called back; he needed to talk right away. "Lek knows where to go you just have to get in the car. About two hours."
Mystery but he wouldn't go into it on the phone. Lek was at the door ready. I didn't bother pumping him for info just sat back for the ride.
We ended up at the Ministry of Justice, Lek leading me in. A young man in a hip tight suit took me along a corridor after the elevator ride. Lek stayed with me, close.
We walked into a big conference room with a lot of suits. Lek stayed between me and the suits. Mr. Keren took my good hand leading me to a corner away from the suits, no smile, "Fay these are lawyers," like a bad taste, "They work for the Brothers, Rai, and others. They want to speak to you which is allowed but I believe they wish to gauge your demeanor and strength if you go on the witness chair."
I squeezed his hand, smiling, "Not to worry Dad!" I got a gigantic smile from him and a FIRM squeeze back.
I sat at the end of the table, crossing my legs for effect. More than a few Adam's apples bobbed.
By the time Rai's lawyer had his turn the others were looking depressed with my responses. He charged out of the gate trying to pressure me, all blustery with waving arms.
"Miss Martin, you enjoyed some of your clients when you were a whore didn't you? You enjoyed the sex?"
I laughed at him, in my ears it sounded like Dad Keren's sinister laugh from Pattaya, I saw his head come up slowly in the corner of my vision, "Yes, sex can be wonderful, some of the men were quite nice to me. Not all, especially your client being one who derived his pleasure from hurting and humiliating those in his power. The sex act for him was just a means to one end, abusing others."
"Well he was paying you to perform sex acts at his discretion wasn't he? You took the money?"
"No, I was at that point enslaved. I received NO money, I was told I wouldn't. In fact your client owned the establishment consequently he was demanding sex without payment which has another name doesn't it?"
He waved his hand; I went ahead, "Sir, what is the name for taking sex by force without payment?" He was looking down at his papers now, "SIR, what's the word?"
"I am not here to answer questions."
"You had better hope your client isn't in the room when I testify because I'll use the word nice and loud."
A man from the Ministry of Justice stepped forward, "Do you have any further questions for Miss Martin?"
The room was full of quiet demurs. Mr. Keren took my arm with a straight face. Lek led as we went down the hall to a large office. The Minister of Justice had been at the back of the conference room followed us, he was smiling, "Miss Martin," he extended his hand, "It is my pleasure to meet you at last."
Mr. Keren had a broad grin, "I told you!" There was general laughter led by the two of them and the Minister's people.
"Keren, I am glad you didn't want to bet with me. I proposed a wager about that last lawyer and what would happen. Keren was polite enough to dissuade me. He said you would shut him down right away. I am glad you did. I do not think many will want to go to trial now. Most if not all will accept our proposed deals."
He took my hand again, "You have again done a great service for Thailand! We will not have to waste time and money on these creatures."
Mr. Keren put his arm around me, big smile, "I knew that last fellow was doomed when you laughed."
"Unconsciously I laughed like you did in Pattaya at our first meeting. I might not be able to do it again but it felt fine!"
The minister's primary aide mentioned Yai; he had already agreed to his deal and was testifying against all the others. Fung and the Brothers would be badly hurt by him. "There is not much fight in them now." The Minister was obviously happy, brought out a bottle of scotch, an aide poured.
I declined a glass but thanked him, "No, I'm not fond of the taste but thank you for offering." He raised his glass to me with a thank you that was repeated around the room. "What about Saul? Was his lawyer in the group?" I was looking straight the Minister.
He looked at General Keren who moved beside me, "Saul is dead. He hung himself with his prison pants two nights ago. I will tell you more later."
I guess my question put a damper on their little celebration. I didn't feel badly about peeing on the fun.
Outside Mr. Keren hugged me, "Thank you daughter! It was great to watch the lawyers cringe at your answers!"
I kissed his cheeks, "Also I am sorry you were not given advance notice but the lawyers pressured the Minister so you would not be prepared. Little did they know you!"
In the car going back to the Railroad Building Lek was also sorry. He didn't know what was to happen only where he was taking me. I patted his shoulder over the big car's barrier, "You have your job. Remember I didn't ask."
With the car barrier up I called Cho; he was mad about it being kept a secret from me, "Remember I told you on the boat that you could not trust them entirely? Even Keren has limits where he can not go. I am glad you are YOU, which is a level-headed girl who tells the truth. Sometimes hard! When you get to the Railroad Building go up to see Udorn when you can!"
I started to ask why but Cho would keep only good secrets.
I decided to forget the whole meeting with the lawyers; I did my best which was enough, I hope, to discourage most of them. If only one or two fought the charges it would look bad for them to do so alone! Saul dead! I wouldn't know why he wanted me dead. Done and dusted!
I called up to Kamol asking if Udorn had free time. She said in two hours, OK! On to work, Kavnu had been made to wait which was wrong. I apologized! Onto planning the next few rail yards. He was on top of everything! After several hours we had it ready. Kavnu got a call to go to the Board Room when we were done.
I bounced up the stairs even Lek was surprised. Udorn was smiling so I got right to it, "What can you do to reward Kavnu? He's really excelling at this work of planning the roll-outs and leading the work, managing the projects. He's thinking way ahead on everything!"
Udorn took me outside, "Fay, you do not work for the Railroad but I trust you. Cho has resumed the Board leadership as you know, there are to be several changes in management. Our boss is retiring; he's been here for over 30 years. It is good. I am to be promoted to CEO."
He didn't get any further before I gave him a big hug and kiss!
"Even though he has not had experience above the rail yard level Cho has decided to place Kavnu in my vice-president spot. I whole-heartedly agreed for the very reasons you bring forward. He has been a self-starter, a leader and shown he can get things done with a variety of people and situations. I am so proud of him!"
I was happy for Kavnu; a friend was being compensated for hard work and use of his brains! I was glad to see it happening. Well-earned and deserved!
"When will he know?"
He looked at his watch, "Probably Cho has told him by now. They are in the Board Room."
Udorn holding my hand, "Fay, it was a good day when you came to Bangkok! So many things have resulted from you being here. You awakened us from a kind of sleep."
I started to say no but Udorn held my hand tightly, "NO! You must see that you have been at the center of many events. Please do not deny me the pleasure of telling you I love and respect you."
I lost it, crying, sobbing on his shoulder. I thought that I was the one who had benefited, the one who had changed! I have Cho!
Udorn hugged me, "Fay no matter what you say it can not be otherwise." He gave me his handkerchief. Shit, what a collection of these I could have.
I went down the corridor towards the Board Room, Lek wondering why I had cried. At the door it opened there was Kavnu looking exalted. We hugged, "Fay ... Fay."
Cho took my good hand, a face full of smiles. I kissed Kavnu, "Go tell Ni!" He went striding down the hallway looking back to wave. "I called out both of you come over tonight!'" He shouted Yes' at the top of the stairs.
Cho embraced me, "You make me very happy." I had no words just kisses.
We sat on my office balcony in the sun, with tea and cakes. Ku fussing over us, Jian helped but mostly watched Ku, smiling as she ate cream filled pastry.
Cho's big grin still across that handsome face, "In case you might have missed it, I listened to you. You talked about your day with me, Kavnu was always praised. You always had your reasons why, it was quite clear why you thought so highly of him. Udorn felt the same. Udorn has been doing much of the work for the old CEO for a while. He earned his promotion also."
"This was one reason I am back as the Board Chairman. I wanted the pleasure of doing these promotions." I kissed the BOSS!
I fixed my face before Cho and I went down to the Computer Centre. The room for the OS X Servers was ready, wired, high speed internet routers up and running. It had two nice windows so users wouldn't feel `shut in.' Office furniture would go in after the racks were up.
We had everyone over that night; it was celebration of many things. Kavnu and Udorn's promotions were big for them and their love ones. I stood beside Cho on the terrace with our friends around, he took my hand, I'd given him back The Pearl ring for this, he slid the ring on for all to see. Lots of cheers! I didn't cry but was misty eyed. I was well hugged and kissed.
I squeezed Malee's hand, "Eric call you?" Her face was so sweet, nodding as the red came up in her cheeks. I kissed her. "He's a nice fellow; if possible I like him even more!"
My arm around her, "You will stay with us?"
"If you can put up with me?" I bumped her hip adding `as if' to that!
We laughed out loud together.
Mr. Keren asked to borrow me from Malee. He steered me to Phailin sitting on the side of the terrace, "We have a question for you."
Phailin took over, "Fay please join our family, be our daughter!" Mr. Keren's arm about my waist steadied me down to sit next to Phailin. A whiter than white handkerchief appeared for my tears.
Phailin's lovely face against mine, "Is that a yes?" Gently teasing me.
It was easy to agree, "I haven't had family for so many years I am so happy you want me to be a part of yours."
Their son, Somsak was to be in the city in a week, they would have a small ceremony then. Kamon had spoken with them today wholeheartedly endorsing my being her younger sister. Dad Keren waved Cho over, the news wasn't a surprise to him. Secrets!
I would be a daughter, have a sister and brother which would be a first in both categories. It sounded nice. Ah, birthdays and holidays to buy gifts and enjoy celebrating!!
I was at the bar getting a Campari, Ni gathered me against her petite bod, "Fay, Kavnu's over the moon, that is right?"
We squeezed each other, "Yes, the moon!"
I found out they were sharing his house now and had his boys over for a long weekend. Big success! His sons really liked Ni and she them. Sweet happy boys!
Udorn's wife, Ubon and I sat down in the kitchen out of the way to talk. The pregnancy was unexpected but welcomed. She wasn't getting sick and I thought sublimely peaceful.
They had two sons, hopeful it would be a girl. Soon they would know.
Mr. Thoi arrived with Kanda. He'd heard about today's little business with the lawyers. "You should have been told what would happen. Do not blame Keren, he was ordered to deliver you. We do like to play games often with poor results. I am glad you are an exception to many rules, my dear." He kissed my cheek.
Kanda and I went in search of Phailin. "Old Thoi isn't happy about today. I heard him blistering the Minister this afternoon. It is good, as he said, you are you!'
Before we found Phailin, Kanda pulled me close, "These intrigues and games are typical of men of power. Keren will head the Security Police soon; my Thoi was there a few years ago. I am biased but they are both men of integrity who despise such nonsense."
"Can they do the job without some of the `nonsense'?" She didn't know.
Phailin joined us; we arranged a lunch for next week. "Do we want fancy or..." I suggested we use one of Cho's boats, we could eat outside or in if the weather was poor. "No, it's not just an excuse to wear bikinis!" That got a laugh. We decided for this first `lunch' to be informal and go boating.
I found Lawan and Thang in the kitchen, Thang had gotten something on his shirt they were removing it with Amporn's help. I got a nice hug from her, whispered "We are doing very well!"
I wanted to know more so I brought her my bedroom, she was laughing, "Fay, he has been away several times doing things for General Keren. He has been promoted AND we are trying to live in a new apartment!" I squeezed her hard.
"Lawan that's so good! I do love you both!" She said they `had' decided to give it time to see but had wanted each other so much that it couldn't wait.
"Cho has me working hard! It seems the piles get bigger with each week! With Thang being gone I have been on my own." "Don't do that if you want company call me! Or Jian! Ni and Kavnu have settled in, and well... I can't speak for them but please let us know. Remember we are sisters!"
She was dewy-eyed as I clamped 1 ½ arms around her, "I will call. Thet, the security fellow, checked on me one night as I was working late when Thang was gone and the building empty. I do not want that to happen again. I was embarrassed."
We walked back to the kitchen; Amporn had succeeded with Thang's shirt. I gave him a hug, glad to hear he'd been promoted.
"General Keren has me going many places!"
I told him to enjoy seeing the different parts of the country. Travel is good but not excess. He nodded squeezing Lawan's hand.
Cho had been looking for me, "Come dear." He pulled; I rolled my eyes at Lawan. She giggled.
He was leading me towards the boat dock, I asked about using a boat for my ladies lunch.
"Fay you do not need to ask, just do. The Captain knows we are together but remember he is in charge, he makes decisions about the boat and your safety."
I understood; since I knew zero about boats. At the dock Cho opened the storage room, inside he was an octopus, all hands! We passionately kissed; my short skirt was up, bare hands on my skin. "I wanted to do this all night!"
Giggling, "Cho..." I knelt when he let me, pants down, underwear DOWN, cock up!
I slurped that marvelous cock up and down, time to sword swallow. I rubbed my nose in his pubic hair with a full mouth, tongue slid out to wash his balls. Oh shit! This is nice!
I ate testicles! Delicious any time! Low fat! But habit forming!
"Fay I will be quick!"
Back in my mouth the penis pulsed, the veins were bulging. Cho's hips were churning, he was right!
I gripped his ass with my good hand sucking hard... lovely spurts of Cho cum onto my tongue. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!
He held onto a shelf, hips pushing against my face. "Fay..."
He slowed to a stop but I didn't. I continued to suck gently stroking my hand over his ass.
"Fay I do love your mouth!"
I was happy, fed wonderful stuff. He was content to let my mouth have his cock. I was grateful he didn't feel the need to rush back to the party.
I let the object of my desires go softly, many kisses and licks. Cho smiled down at me, "I doubt any man has ever been enjoyed more."
"Not by me anyway!" I laughed.
He lifted me up, "It was just an impulse but I was certain you would appreciate the idea."
"I do, did, all of it," I rubbed my belly.
I pressed against him, "I want you inside me soon!"
My ass was patted, "Me too!"
He lent me a nice white handkerchief not for tears this time.
We strolled back towards the terrace and all the folks. I felt deliciously happy the taste of my man to savor.
We wandered around talking after I fixed my face; I found Jian and dropped down beside her. "Hey buddy how you doing?"
Ah, before she could stop chewing I grabbed a piece of crispy fish from her plate. She tried to laugh but a mouthful made it sound a bit odd. I raised my sling in mock protest against a spray of crumbs. Jian swatted my arm but way up. As I gobbled the fish I felt her arm around me.
"Fay, fish thief!" I got a slightly sticky kiss.
As the evening wound down I was sitting beside Mr. Keren, "So the rumor has you becoming the Big Cheese soon?"
That warm laugh and engaging chuckle, "Yes it seems I am to be trusted with greater responsibilities. More work, the same number of hours in the day."
"Well Dad, don't overdo it. Delegate!" I was trying for my best `serious' tone which failed and we both laughed.
"Any idea of going to Seattle to see Suchart is over now. Events have overtaken it. So he is cute?"
I gave him my best cute baby description, "But you must know I didn't have to do any nappies so I only saw the best of him." That got me another chuckle.
"I understand you are being a luncheon hostess next week?"
"Yes, we are going boating with lunch included. Girls afloat!"
Mr. Thoi with Kanda and Phailin came up to us. Bedtime was declared. I rounded up Cho and we saw them off, hugs and kisses a plenty.
After that it all thinned out quickly as it was a work day tomorrow. Standing wrapped up by Cho from behind I could see Jian flagging. The cast was better but it was a bit much after a long day. Sweet goodnights!
On my back naked in Cho's embrace kissing. I loved feel of his skin against mine, the flaccid cock between us. He turned off the light and gathered me close.
My first stop in the morning was the hospital. I knew the bandage would come off, I had on a cutoff sleeveless black blouse, red skinny jeans, black ankle boots from Nordstrom's and a black sling/scarf.
The wound was UGLY! The nice young doctor tut-tutted me, "I am quite pleased. All is going very well. You can dispense with the sling if you feel like it. But if it means you will feel the need to protect the arm more, then continue."
I put the sling on again over a much smaller bandage, for now.
I had Lek drive over to the old neighborhood where the club was. It had a different name but still a bar. The apartment house was still residential with the old crone in her little shop at the bottom. I wanted to see Sakda's workshop.
Lek drove the narrow street carefully as I tried to remember which turns. Not lost but unable to find it Lek inquired of an older man, he pointed and made a turning motion.
Lek stopped in front. We looked in the window, Sakda was working. He saw me as I entered, I got a nice smile.
"Fay, it has been so long. I heard bad things! Your arm?"
I took a hard callused hand, "I am alright, healing. Yes, there many bad things, the Brothers are in jail most likely for a very long time. I came to see you and I hope to buy a few of your beautiful things."
He smiled, "You seem different. You are more sure of yourself now."
"True, older and wiser as they say. Experiences have changed me some. I am engaged to be married and wish you could create a group of tables for my husband-to-be's office." I handed him the measurements I had made for two side tables and a large coffee table. The color of the furniture and the room at the Railroad Building was there too.
He looked at me, "Did you have a design in mind?"
"Yes, your star burst like the little table we had tea at that night."
He led me to the back where it was, "Yes, it is so lovely. For the side tables and can you suggest a complimentary design for the larger table?"
"It could have several stars or one large one." I left it to him.
We discussed the wood and about how long it would take. He was pleased to have the commission. The price, he didn't want to be too firm until he knew what wood he would use.
"Sakda, I will leave it in your hands," I took his hand again, squeezing it, "Make him something wonderful."
I kissed his cheek, "It is very nice to see you once more. Being with you that night is a nice memory." I gave him my phone number and a hug.
Lek helped me out at Noi's dress shop. She was pleased to see me and asked after the girls. Her English was quite good enough for us. I told her that I had used the blue shirt dress often which made her eyes sparkle.
I bought a simple black sheath dress, VERY close fitting, mid-thigh, and scooped bodice and deep down the back. In fact there really wasn't much to it. A classic `little black dress.' Wicked!
I liked Jian's 'Ao Dai' type dress, Noi immediately understood. The pants in white she had, tight with straight leg, the fit was great, just a few alterations. For the top, she measured me and I chose a deep black and a second in rich red fabric. We settled on a price for all three and a day for fitting next week.
Lek aimed the car towards the Railroad Building. Eric called with kind words about my contributions in London after he asked after our health. I told him Malee was ready to move in which got a nice laugh and, "I'm looking forward to spending time with her."
I told him privacy could be obtained if he wanted to borrow the smaller yacht for a weekend, "Serious?'
I was dead serious, "Just you two and the crew." Pausing, "I would like you two in our crowd for a trip to Aao Khamoht, the phosphorescent bay. Snorkeling at night, it's quite exciting. Sunday night dancing?" He was up for it.
On business news, the OS X Servers were almost ready to ship. The racks and UPS power devices were scheduled for Friday morning delivery. Eve was knocking them dead with her skills and memory. I`d done very well choosing her! Nice to hear!
I told Ku what Eric had said, her eyes were moist, big smile! Cho called, "Lunch avec moi?"
"Ah, will it be French?"
"Oui!"
"Come get me!" He mentioned maybe we should skip the food...
On the terrace with Jian and Ting in the twilight, cuddled with Cho we talked about having a full house by the end of next week. Planning a few parties and boat trips. I wanted all the folks from London to have a chance to see Aao Khamoht.
Coffee with Cho, morning sun, mouthful of pineapple, Mr. Keren calls. Cho answered for me, 10AM was on.
Mr. Keren arrived on time with a beautiful woman named Hansa; she had a slight physique and a finely drawn face. Not as tall as me, lovely hands. She accepted coffee as we sat on the terrace under an umbrella. The men were inside.
She told me about meeting a lover who appreciated her for her duality but she yearned to be completely female. It had been in her heart since she was a young teen. She struggled with her lover's desires. Whether to honor what he preferred or herself.
"I choose myself. I lost him."
We talked through the process and afterwards how she felt being the person that was right for her. She'd found love with another, deep and abiding love.
"My love works for General Keren, he has always known about me because at one point I worked for him also. He has supported me, rather us throughout my changing."
I understood what Dad Keren was trying to tell me through Hansa but he didn't how Cho felt about me. I had that rock to rest upon without worry, he loved me regardless.
We walked with the men to the car, hugs. A big kiss for Dad Keren.
In the bedroom dressing for the Railroad Building, Cho watched as I told him my impressions until I turned around in bra and panties. I could see a smile slowly building he didn't have to tell me I knew he was thinking of the same thing. Me! He loved me!
I pushed him flat pressing down, kissing him as my fingers stroked his face and hair. He was smiling up at me, "Love is too small a word for how I feel!"
I had no tears, my belly was tight though but warm. My cheek against his.
Lek was waiting as I walked out the front door, black skinny jeans, white cutoff short sleeved blouse, RED heels, RED nails and lips. No sling just a shiny black bag and briefcase. I saw his eyes widen then adjust back. Fun!
In my office Jian and Ku took a tea break with cakes and cookies. We chatted away until Eve called; Ku went back to her desk to talk after our love was sent along.
On the balcony I called Dad Keren, my thanks for his bringing Hansa over. She was nice and happy. I understood her cost. Did he have time to meet later today? We settled on my going to his office. Novelty, I hadn't been there. Lek knew where to go.
Eric called; we talked a blue streak about the deliveries and the crowd that would descend in a week or so. Staggered arrivals. Cho's property guy was great, everyone would have a private space, and some would have shared kitchens. Big pool and clubs nearby. Walking distance to the Railroad Building.
He and Malee had talked today, "She said you had the suite ready for us! Thanks!"
"The smaller yacht is yours for the asking. The Captain has a crew ready. So bring a Speedo!"
Laughing, "Maybe I should be more sedate?"
"No, you looked good. Besides Malee has expectations you know!"
We laughed together.
I got Eric to transfer me to Andrea, "Hey Personnel girl! Sure you can't finagle a way to make the trip? We've a nice room for you!"
"Maybe you shouldn't have gotten Glover to resign, then I wouldn't have so much work!" There was laughing choking sound in the middle of all that which was me. We both laughed, "Well I guess I wouldn't be an important underpaid executive either, right?"
I had trouble getting out a retort given my giggles, "Well you could quit then you'd have lots of free time to visit!"
"No money then."
"You're in the catch 22, Dear! Don't worry I'm positive all the folks making the trip will be glad to share their pics of paradise with you, endlessly!"
"Urg! Don't wish that on me. Evil Fay!"
Laughing I got her to send me onto Reg, "Hey daddy-to-be! Ready to fly?"
He and Rona were ready to go, Rona's bikinis and his shorts packed. I reminded him the ties were NOT needed! Gratefully received. Reg said the OS X Servers would be air freighted via FedEx and there'd be an extra server for each bank in case of problems.
We were good, he sent me onto Karla. She was doing well. She had some remorse for not having the nerve to do it before since everyone had been so welcoming. I didn't go into it very far when she said it was great to have me as a role-model. I hadn't done anything but be me, I didn't think I deserved any special credit but I kept my mouth shut.
I walked upstairs with Lek, still my shadow. Kamol on the phone waved me towards Udorn's office. She had someone doing some typing at a new desk off to the side, a pretty full figured lady.
We discussed the arrival of the racks and UPS devices tomorrow morning so I'd have plenty to do.
"When the installation is complete and Eve is running the servers, I will move to another position in The Company. Would it me forward of me to make a suggestion about Ku's future?" Udorn told me to please go on, "Well I thought Kamol would go with you, yes? Well what Ku about working for Kavnu?"
Udorn face was a big smile, "Yes Fay, it makes sense. I will suggest it to Kavnu. It will be his choice you understand? There will be learning but they are good so they can learn together! Thank you!"
With that off my mind I told him Cho and I would happy to have dinner at his house Sunday evening.
He said Ubon had an amniocentesis because she is older than 40 but all is well and it is a girl for sure.
He took my hand, looking down, "Would you allow us to have Fay as part of our daughter's name?"
I did tear up at that, a classic white handkerchief was offered. We hugged, "Thank you, yes; it would be a great honor for me. Thank Ubon for me."
Kamol introduced me to Li, her new assistant. She was going to be around now and Kamol wanted her to know me. "I have told Li some about what you are doing and how well you and Udorn get along so she knows you have access."
Li had a sweet face, I hoped she would enjoy working for Udorn and Kamol.
Cho called, Saturday night at the Ballroom? YES! Jian and Ting were IN!
Lek brought me to a non-descript office building off Rama I Rd in Pathum Wan district. We were met at the door by a young, good-looking woman officer who led us past security to Dad Keren's office. Modern with a nice glass wall with a doorway that opened onto a small terrace. A few pictures of him with others and a large crest hanging opposite his desk of the Royal Thai Police. He was talking on the phone but waved me forward to a set of chairs on the terrace.
"Fay, what is it?"
I took his hand, "Dad,' that warm smile, "I wanted to thank you for bringing Hansa over but I wanted in person to tell you something, it is important to me." He looked expectant, "I know what you were trying to tell me with her experiences but please have no doubts about Cho and me. We have discussed the SRS... well it is best to tell you in his words, he fell in love with me, not the kathoey or woman but me."
Dad Keren pulled me into those strong arms, no crying, "Good, I will not worry! I am protective of my daughters."
"I know I seem melodramatic coming to you but I couldn't say it on a phone."
"Fay, I understand, it is deeply emotional, such things should always be spoken in person."
We talked about the `adoption' ceremony which was a family thing with a few papers to sign for the government. Somsak was eager to meet me and to have another sister. There was an undercurrent of maybe they wanted but couldn't have more children.
I asked about Saul. He had not explained why he wanted me dead, not a word. The weeks of his incarceration had been solitary and hard for him. No sign he would harm himself though. Saul made a noose from his prison pants and hung himself from the upper bunk in the cell. Dad Keren shook his head, "It had been made clear to him that he would have received a very long custodial sentence. He was nearly 65 years old. I presume he did not want to slowly die in prison."
I said nothing. We hugged in silence.
Lek was waved in at the open door, "Fay would it be too much to have a sergeant-major as your bodyguard/driver?" General Keren smiling now as it dawned on Lek he was promoted.
"Well, General Keren I have gotten along fine with a plain old sergeant so far."
We laughed as Lek's hand was shaken and the nice police woman congratulated him.
"It is as of now, Sergeant-Major Lek." The police woman brought a small package to Lek; it was the new rank insignia. She was smiling broadly, "The General asked me to do this for you. It is an honor."
Lek's face was split by a huge grin on the drive back to the Railroad Building. Cho gave him a big handshake and back slap. He was still grinning as he dropped us at home.
In the darkened bedroom Cho's cock was growing nicely in my mouth. Chubbing with the delightful arc of semi-erectness I really enjoyed. His wet balls were caressed softly by my left hand as the index finger of my right slowly rotated against the tiny ribbed damp hole. My tongue had bathed the balls and anus for a while but I was ready for the main course.
I nibbled down the shaft tiny bites by teeth that never closed just squeezed the flesh, back up to the cockhead exposed as I slid the foreskin off. I flicked my tongue tip on the frenum back and forth over the bit of skin. Cho was hard now moaning as he lay back.
It was so good to see Cho enjoy my mouth on his body. So much fun to lick, kiss, slurp on bits of him. Delicious.
Kneeling beside the bed gave me access to all of him. I slid my bad arm up to the right nipple. AAAAHHHH I scored a hit on that nipple. Cho was thrashing a bit as my finger entered the ribbed hole.
"Fay so good!" Encouragement is what a girl needs!
I'm gonna change my name to bobbie cause it's what I like to do to Cho's cock! Slurping loudly as I move up and down, he's ripe for a nice orgasm. Finger in the bum working! Nipples like rocks.
Tasting so fine as I hoover him hard! Cho's close hips flicking, "Fay suck suck!" His hands lightly on my head.
His first load on my tongue, big! The three that follow are large too. It slipped down my throat. Warm, tasty too!
I slowed my mouth and eased up with my fingers letting my love relax. I kept the cock right where it belonged. Cho's hand in my hair, fingers stroking me like I was a cat who ate all the cream. Ha!
I took his sex in my hand, licking up and down gently, caressing the head lightly. I played with the piss slit, tonguing in. Cho was laughing now having come down from his orgasm.
"Fay I am so glad you like my cock!"
"Sir it's good eating!"
I nuzzled my face on the soft moist sex and balls. Warm! Mmmmmmmmmm
I crawled up to lay on Cho, he encircled me, kissing! Sweet!
I was glad my arm was co-operating not hurting or as sensitive. I washed up, slipped into a nightie and slid in beside Cho. I was asleep quickly with his warmth.
Breakfast was done, dressed for some work in green skinny jeans, white cutoff polo shirt and brown ankle boots. Lek dropped Jian and I off, I went to the new OS X Server room, outside was the furniture we would put in after the racks were up. Kavnu arrived, a hug, "Ni is going to make me fat with her delicious cooking."
"Well we'll have you do some lifting and toting today! I wanted to ask you about something that may have already been decided but I'm interested. OK?" He nodded, "I wanted to know about Tarek. What his role was to be after you move up?"
Kavnu smiled, holding my hand, "Fay, you like to look after people. It is a very nice thing about you. Tarek is going to lead more of the installations across our rail system and I want him to take my place at the rail yard. I am concerned that it might not be enough for him after all the installation responsibility and work."
Just something inside told me... "I think he will be content, especially if you use the rail yard for training or testing of other projects. I think the occasional challenge will be enough after excitement of this project." Tarek had been in the back of my thoughts for a couple of weeks after seeing him at the Rail Yard and at BangBamru. He was full of beans! I needed to find someone he could meet.
The FedEx guys broke my thoughts. Goody!
Kavnu, Jian, Ku and I got started. I checked the boxes and we moved them to their places. I did most of the first rack build so everyone could see. Then the others were built by all of us. The setup crew put the bolts in the floor and did the final mount. Kavnu and I setup the UPS units connecting them to a PC for monitoring. All good!
My arm hurt, I hadn't done so much since Saul's little work. Tea and cakes and pain meds smoothed me out some
Udorn had come down with Kamol to see the room after the crew put in the tables and desks. He was pleased. We had it looking fine. I asked Kamol about Li, was she married or attached? No to both. How old was answered with 29. Mmmm!
Cho came to my office where I was trying to chill, my arm throbbing still. "Let us go home so you can lie down for a while."
Lek motored us home. I decided to lie in the sun. Bikini on, the sun felt good. Amporn sent Kiet out with a mango lassi that Niran had just made. Sweet, cool, nourishing!
Reg called, he and Rona would in on Thursday. Eric and some of the others Friday. The servers were set for Friday delivery; I'd accept them with Reg.
Saturday morning I was on the terrace in the `dangerous' white bikini. Tanning my ass since so little of it was covered. Jian had on a thong too! Lots of buns! The guys enjoyed the show.
I gobbled salapaos and fruit! Toasting away in the sun. Warm, happy storing energy for dancing tonight. We were going to be a big group. All the couples were our guests tonight! Malai said she and the `old guy' would be there. Ha! He could waltz with the best.
Silver gray dress, tight body, sleeveless, full skirt to mid-thigh, slightly darker gray stockings, dark silver shoes from Nordstrom's, black purse in a triangular shape. NO Sling!
Jian still couldn't dance but ever so cute in black pants, white and silver vest and one black pump. Cho in a white evening jacket with narrow lapels over silver gray pants and black shoes with red bow tie and matching cumber bum. Cute! Ting in all black, slender cut suit. We looked hot and slick!
A good crowd, Cho made sure with the Ballroom manager that the max number of people got in.
The wine bucket stand was already at our table. Yes!
Off across the floor in a polka right away. Cho holding me, we were light on our feet. We did at least 5 dances before heading back to the table. All our friends were at the enlarged table. Anong and Rak were flushed as they joined Jian, Ting, Cho and I for some Tatinger's. Ni, Kavnu, Lawan and Thang arrived. All were properly hugged and kissed. Ku in tight black pants and crisp white shirt not tucked and black bow tie. Loved it! She and Ting danced a lot with little miss one foot still on the sideline.
Malai's husband took me out for a waltz. Very smooth dancer who led with ease. A real pleasure dance with him. He got a big kiss on his smooth unwrinkled cheek.
Ting brought Malai back; they had a function in the morning so they were off. I walked to the door with them, Malai holding my arm. She was delighted with my engagement, "I never thought any girl could capture him! You are perfect for him." Kisses and hugs sent them on their way.
Cho was a wonderful lead in a hot tango, sharp stepping, snappy moves! Damn I enjoyed being on a dance floor with him. My arm was doing fine until about midnight when it started a dull throb. I'd worked it hard Friday morning and now all the dances, had to come.
I sipped champagne instead of pain meds and sat out a few dances. "Cho I don't want to go home yet." He kissed me, "You tell me when!"
Jian and Ting dancing as best as you can with three good legs. Big smile on Jian's face! I watched Rak and Anong swing by looking great and engrossed in each other.
Lawan was having considerable success with Thang; he'd gone from two left feet to one of each type. She was still leading but Thang was getting it. The athlete in him coming out.
Kavnu seemed to enjoy the foxtrots speed, Ni I could see was ready to break out in a polka any time.
Ku and I did a polka, bounding around like two crazies. Such fun. We didn't crash into anyone.
By one AM I was tiring and my arm hurting a bit more so Cho took me home. Jian and Ting were ready too. We changed to sleepwear and robes and parked on the terrace for a while cuddling. A rain shower chased us under the awning so we called it a night.
Lying on Cho I thanked him for a nice time at the Ballroom. I really enjoyed dancing with him we are a matched pair.
Being warm and happy made sleep come easy and be restful.
Sunday morning in a tiny bikini on the terrace full of fruit and salapaos, sipping coffee on a big lounge next to Jian. She had her cast off to get some sun and let the skin breathe, no walking though. It looked pale and skinny.
The guys were off to the golf course. First time Cho had played since he met me? Odd I hadn't ever thought of golf. They were to play with Dad Keren. Might be interesting to watch them out there with bodyguard men in dark sunglasses trailing along.
Ni, Lawan, Ku came over. Malee came too this time with her own swimsuit. We all did the lazy day, sun, food, swimming by those that could and in the afternoon we helped Amporn with snacks for the returning golfers. Phailin came over, very cute in shorts and tight long sleeved t-shirt.
Kavnu and Thang joined us shortly after the golf warriors arrived. No one broke Par or was particularly close, we commiserated somewhat.
Ku was happy Eve would be back tomorrow. I was sending her with Lek to pick up Eve around noon.
Kavnu and I talked about the next rail yards for installation. Rokson and Tarek would each go to one. Kavnu would split his time between them with me. Ni came over to sit in his lap, "The Company has sent me my first work. Doing a great amount of coding for a client website for training on the new APPs." We did high fives!
Cho and I cleaned up to go to Udorn's for dinner. Casual in red skinny jeans, cutoff white blouse and black ankle boots. Ubon greeted us; she was still slender for now. Hugs and kisses. We sat for a drink in their garden before dinner. Their sons arrived and I was happy to meet them. The married one had a gorgeous wife, so petite! She was holding my hand as her husband told Udorn and Ubon they were to be grandparents! Wow! A huge surprise! New life all over, it seemed so wonderful for all these nice people!
At dinner I sat beside the other son, he's a lecturer at Bangkok University in English and literature. Ah, an Orwell devotee also! We went on about his work, our likes. How we each felt Orwell had influenced our personal outlook and how modern he was more than 60 years after his death. He had gone to India to see the place where Orwell had lived as a small child and then visited towns where as a young man in the police service in Burma he soured on colonialism.
I caught Cho watching me with a big smile. Afterwards with an Amaretto in their garden he bumped me, "You do amaze me sometimes with how balanced a person you are. Computers, literature and people." I kissed him.
It was a nice evening. New folks, surprises and comfy feelings.
In the big Merc I got kissed quite a bit, so nice to have Cho's hard body holding me tight against him. I whispered into his ear, "I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning," his eyes into mine, "SRS." He stroked my hair aside pressing our cheeks together.
Dressing for the doctor in the morning, light blue shirt dress, dark blue stockings and shoes. Lek delivered me to the clinic a few miles from home. I waited in an exam room in a pink floral gown. Dr. Sanporam was nice he went all over me almost inch by inch. He told me to dress and join him in his office.
He looked at me, "I have rarely seen someone so ready for this surgery. Everything about you says woman except for what remains of your old sex. You will not need any facial changes or breast augmentation unless you want to be much larger. Even your Adam's Apple is so small it would require only the smallest amount of reduction if you feel it necessary."
I was pleased to hear how good I looked from a professional man's point of view. He said I had enough of a penis size with my leftover scrotum so the surgery would not require skin grafts to create a vagina. Everything pointed to a successful outcome. I needed to have several doctor certificates, etc. Since I was already considered a woman by Thailand and America made a big difference.
He recommended several phycologists but said he doubted I would have to spend much time with that. I did have to wait for a few months to meet the 1 year period of hormone therapy.
Out through the waiting room I saw several clients sitting, several transgendered ladies who were nicely dressed but seemed uncomfortable in the public place. I stopped to talk, telling them I was pre-op and I hoped they would have success and how I liked their clothes. I was glad they felt secure enough to come to make the change for themselves. I got looks of incredulity that I wasn't a cis-woman. I told them I' been lucky, laughing inside about how unlucky I'd felt all those `BF' years!
Lek drove me to the Railroad Building. Jian was clumping around helping Ku; they both were ready for tea and cakes!
Reg called I told him the room was set. I would arrange transport for their Thursday late afternoon arrival.
Eric's PA sent the arrival times of everyone and I called Thet. He got my forwarded email and would take care of arranging the pickups and security for them. He told me there would be security at the apartment hotel, loose but a presence.
Tuesday began EARLY as Kavnu and I drove up to Nakhon Ratchasima three hours' drive one way. Green skinny jeans, white short sleeved blouse brown ankle boots, round lensed red tinted sunglasses on my nose, ready to go.
Tarek was running this install. I got a big smile from him and a hug which the whole crew saw. It set a good tone for the day.
Tarek was acting like a symphony conductor sending workers off on tasks, controlling it all with the Rail Yard manager without usurping his position. He'd become quite a personality, happy and assured.
I walked down the line with Kavnu where the boring machine was working its way through the only berm to be done here. He nudged me, "We might have thought of this but you came up with the idea much faster. My rail yard wasn't as congested."
I smiled, "You mean your `old rail yard', right?"
His face was tight suddenly, I put my hand on his shoulder, "I didn't mean..." He stopped me, "Fay, it is not you, it is that I enjoyed being there, leaving is hard."
I squeezed my hand; he went on, "I remember the first day when you arrived there. I get strange but good feelings thinking about it. So much change since." He turned to face me, "You have made so many things happen, being with you waking my need for someone, bringing Ni into my life, the yard changes, doing this work," he waved his arm, "now my promotion."
A smile with sad eyes as he took my bad hand, "You... You have had bad times in the middle of all of it..."
We hugged, "Kavnu, I'm doing fine now! I'm so happy for you and Ni!"
Standing beside the tracks in the sun wondering, am I a `George Bailey'? What did I do? What if I hadn't arrived? Any new person would make changes in the lives of those they met?
I sat on the back of a truck. I was ready for a change? This is certainly change!
I scanned the rail yard from behind my sunglasses, groups of men working at different points, the hum and grind from the boring machine, heat waves down the track. Pretty far from a solitary childhood in the green fields of southern England. I had no ambition to be a new colonizer, no Rudyard Kipling heroics, just a computer guy! Girl!
No thanks, no `George Bailey goes back in time' thing! I wasn't in despair just wondering.
My musings were jolted aside by my phone, "Eric, yes I'm in Korat with Kavnu...Yes rocking and rolling here. Ah, well I'm just watching now. Great! Reg and I will have to restrain ourselves, it'll be hard not rip open a box to get a server out! You hadn't said but I asked the captain to be ready to go out Friday night. Sure, maximize your private time. Sure, have a good flight."
I almost got it back in my pocket when it rang again. Eve! She was back, plane taxing in. Love down the line and come over tonight with Ku if you can find the time. Laughter and kisses.
Riding back with Kavnu we leaned back to chat as Lek did his usual smooth driving. I told Kavnu about my suggesting to Udorn that Ku work for him and apologized for not starting with him. "Fay, it was in my mind to ask her but I didn't know if she would want to go with you in your new job. We were looking at the same thing without knowing."
We did fist bumps as he said he wanted Ku because she knew her way around the Railroad bureaucracy and she had Eve close by, now a Railroad employee as an incentive. My comment was he'd better ask her quick before I changed my mind. Laughing Kavnu said not to worry he would. He picked up his phone and did! Ku was very happy with the idea. Sold!
Eve was there. I asked them to dinner at the house which was OK for them. I gave Kavnu his phone, "Call Ni to come too!"
I called Cho; he was having dinner sent over from the Kiet's so ordering more was no trouble. We were still an hour away but coming straight home.
Kavnu called Rokson; all was going well at Nakhon Sawan. We would be there Wednesday. Rokson said there were more berms but they were close together. All good.
Nice dinner party set, Amporn did snacks of which there were hardly any left by the time Kavnu and I arrived. Poo!
I changed into white bikini top and black cuffed shorts and black ankle boots. Lots of leg!!!
The Kiet's food was great! I liked their crispy fish second only to Amporn's! Lovely rice dishes and vegetables, so nice!
I had Eve's hand as we walked to the dock later. She had enjoyed London, gone a few places. Tony the Trans guy from personnel was a great tour guide. My house was wonderful and Mrs. Blatchly was funny and sweet to her.
"I'm going to rip off Ku's clothes when we get home!" We laughed out loud.
On the terrace I told Ku to come in late tomorrow. She gave me a hug and kiss with a cute grin.
It was just Cho and me on the terrace later; I was in his lap with the Piaget Blue navigator watch in my pocket. I wanted to give it to him in a low key way, something nice, a private token of love.
"Cho, I have a Seattle souvenir for you." I slipped it out and fastened it on his wrist. The lights were low but they caught the gorgeous blue face. I held his other arm around me; the watch in the light, he kissed my neck, "A lovely thing, Fay. Thank you!"
I moved so I was astride him pressing down, kissing and nuzzling took place. Cho carried me in to bed. Undressing me slowly until naked then he did a very slow strip. MMMMMMMM!
His weight on me was welcome, I wrapped myself around him.
"Fay, we have something, us two! I wish everyone was as happy as we are."
No nightie just warm skin and a sweet goodnight kiss.
Jian and I on the terrace in the early morning sun munching on salapaos and fruit smiling at each other. I made a slight foray into her robe which wasn't easily defended with two hands full. She didn't spill coffee on me, I did cause a few squeaks. Her boy toy in my hand, "Fay let me put these down!"
We lay side by side laughing, hugging each other tightly, "Fay you are bad!"
"You can't blame me your thing is so cute and tasty." We were giggling loudly when the guys showed up. Cho lifted me over his shoulder, patted my butt, "Time for washing!"
Ting hoisted Jian and followed, they helped to wrap my arm. Jian's cast was off, we kidded around some as we showered as a foursome. Fun and messy but ultimately clean in Cho's arms, kisses! MMMMMM!
Office day, so I was in a short pleated navy blue skirt and white cutoff short sleeved polo shirt, navy blue and white sandals, navy blue purse. Jian in her favorite red, white skirt, red sleeveless blouse and red with white bow pump.
Lek took us to the Railroad Building, the security guys could see we had badges but they paid attention our looks not the badge. I sent an email to Rokson, how was the weather heard you had rain?' His reply was quick, rain but had not lasted long, back to work'
Good!
Cho called, "Can you take 2 hours early Thursday to go to the tattoo place?" I was saying yes before he finished. 730AM, soooo early but we can do it. Busy day! Lunch with Kanda and Phailin, pickup Reg and Rona later.
Ku came in a bit late as I suggested. We kissed, "Fay it was so wonderful to have Eve back." I raised my eyebrows, she giggled, "Yes in so many ways!" We hugged and laughed, Jian giggling out a `go girl'!
Kavnu came in to talk to Ku, they used my office balcony. Nice to see her being offered better pay and benefits!
After a short while Kavnu waved to me, "Fay, Ku is going to start work for me. We can share her, yes?"
I said my need would be much smaller after the server install next week and I would keep Jian around. Kavnu would get Udorn's office and Ku would just have to go up a floor. That pinged a memory!
Yes, I dashed out to go upstairs dragging Lek with me, surprise on his face. Kamol was in the doorway to Udorn's office and pushed me in. Udorn laughing, "Fay, dear so nice of you to visit."
I was laughing too, "Udorn, since Kavnu will be moving in here will I be able to keep my office for a short while? And, maybe work out a sub-lease for my Company?"
Udorn motioned me to a chair, "Fay, we would like you to stay as long as you want. Cho has spoken to me already about it. If we need the space Kavnu will tell you so there would be time to move."
"I don't have much there so don't allow me to get in the way." No No, was his response, I could never be in the way! Do not worry!
I let him know tomorrow Kavnu and I were going to Nakhon Sawan to see the rail yard and how the work was coming.
Kavnu's new job had him as the main person leading the entire roll out of the scanning equipment and Rokson's boss. So his showing up was important. Another early rising and three hour drive. We both planned to use our devices as long as we had a signal. Kavnu didn't know how strong a link we might have up the highway.
I called the iStudio store and talked to Bin. Such a sweetie, he knew right away. The signal would be good on Highway AH1 for most of the drive with it possibly failing after In Buri and before Chai Nat on the AH2. Otherwise good. I thanked that cutie Bin!
I went down to the OS X Server room where Eve had her desk. She was logged into London and working on the demo server. I kissed her, "So you're running already?"
That lovely face with a shining smile, "Yes, it's smooth! I can fuss with the data and server settings in my own virtual machine. I've used the chat feature to ask a few questions. It all works so nicely!" And "Thanks for this space! I'm so happy to have a window and comfortable furniture."
"You need tea kit though. Ku will know how to get it! Also if I'm going to be around... cookies!"
That broke Eve up, "I want you around so there'll be lots of cookies to tempt you!" I held her close, "Don't ever be afraid to ask questions! All of us were starters at some point." She kissed me, "I will! I'm a real starter!"
I was laughing as Lek and I went back upstairs. Reg texted the servers were out the door! I let him know I was eager for them! Why in the hell R U up so early?' he texted back Rona had been a bit sick earlier, she's ok tho' take care you 2' see U Thurs'
Ku made tea and Jian piled the cakes and cookies high. We all set to it not waiting for Eve to come up. She arrived but no one could say hi without spraying crumbs about. She joined in with obvious hunger!
A call from the London solicitors was a nice boost. The deed poll was completed, my name changed, both properties were in my new name and the same for all the bank accounts, national insurance, everything. All the papers for a new passport were going out today to HM Passport Office! The expedited handling fee paid. They said they were doing the same for Karla and Tony. I thanked them for their good work. The senior mentioned `Lagavulin' a large bottle of which was sitting on his desk. They would toast my good health later. Cheers!
Dad Keren called shortly after, would next Wednesday evening be good for me to become a daughter? He said we would do it at their home, informal dress. Somsak and his wife will be in town on the weekend. Laughing, "It would be hard to get them out of their jeans anyway."
Laughing, "Good, I like informal better."
Evening on the terrace, the four of us sitting quietly. I had to get up early again for the next two days. Urg!
In the car in the morning I asked Kavnu when he was going to tell Tarek about his promotion. "He will be done on Friday afternoon and back in Bangkok. I have asked him to dinner at my house. Ni will cook. I will tell him then."
Sounded good; I asked if he knew Li who was now Kamol's assistant. He did. Then he looked at me with a grin, "Matchmaking?" I shrugged. "She is nice. I worked with her on something last year, she was the documents person. Very good too."
"So..." We laughed, "You like Tarek?" I said I liked that although he wasn't a young man he was active and interested, obviously a hard worker willing to learn.
"I watched him Monday. He was in charge in a good way that didn't undermine the rail yard boss."
"Yes, I saw him. It was like you when we met, you knew what had to be done but worked with me. I learned from you. I guess Tarek paid attention."
"Well, I have been thinking about Tarek, he is alone, only in his late 40's, not handsome but he has a nice way with him. So yes matchmaking."
"I will ask Li if she would like dinner with us. Then we will see. OK?"
I said I felt better having an accomplice. Kavnu laughed, we did high fives.
We did email and talked to a few people as the drive stretched out to nearly three hours.
I disappointed Rokson with my jeans and short sleeve blouse, well I can't please everyone.
The work was well advanced; all the berms had been bored through. Sensors were installed in the first two sections and were being tested. Rokson had made sure that the workers roles had shifted so they could see other parts of the job and would be somewhat familiar if they were needed for repairs. Kavnu and I walked the length of the rail yard, Rokson's construction experience was right for this job also he had brought several of his foremen along to see the process. They had gotten right in with the work.
We talked about further training and a possible `flying squad' of well trained workers to deal with a large scale problem due weather or accident or ... at any rail yard.
Driving back, Eric called. We went over a few things, I told him about the solicitors work on the deed poll and their other help for Karla and Tony, the new installs we had visited and assorted other things. He and Malee wanted accept our offer of the boat for the weekend but be back for Sunday night dancing. Done!
In bed with Cho later during the kissing he held my small butt squeezing me hard onto him, "Fay, this little thing is so cute!" He massaged my cheeks rhythmically making me giggle, "Are you thinking of buying?"
We laughed and kissed a lot more.
Early!! Very early!! I put on a bikini under my white and yellow dress to preserve modesty at the tattoo place. My front first, a hibiscus `Brilliant' in lavender. Cho holding my hand sitting beside me. We talked about our house guests, Sunday dancing at the Ice Rink which he had arranged for everyone, the trip to Aao Khamoht with the bigger boat would be fine, Eric and Malee's trip. I turned over so the artist could get a start on my tramp stamp. The back was a smaller hibiscus in in yellow with the center in red. I got my old markings covered. Maybe two more trips here.
I stayed with the bikini for the boat lunch with Phailin and Kanda. We used the smaller one and pushed off to go in lazy circles in the sun. Phailin had a cute blue bikini with gold stars, Kanda in a red and white striped one, both looked very hot. They giggled as I told them. We had a great time talking about everything from politics to Kanda's job at the Red Cross to the daughter ceremony next week. I told them about Cho's arrival at my country house which they thought soooo romantic! My new tattoos were safe to uncover shortly after we set out, they liked the flowers and colors. The old was hidden already.
Mimosa's as a start and a cold buffet was setup in the lounge and a table on the bow with an umbrella. Phailin told me more about her `social gatherings' for women friends. "We discuss a set topic, often one lady has knowledge, she tells us, and we ask questions and talk about it. As an example Kanda has every year given us updates about the Red Cross' work here and around the world. I have spoken about various parts of the law as I am an attorney. I have been slowly retiring for five years; right now I only do cases regarding women's rights. Tanja is a banker and a member of the legislature. And so on. We occasionally have guests to speak but we are a disparate group so it is not often."
Kanda said they wanted me to join as a businesswoman, a technical person and a transgendered woman if I wanted to be so identified. "We meet once a month usually at Phailin's since her house is large and has a nice garden seating area."
I decided to join and would plan a talk about something involving computers that might impact the women members.
At the dock I was holding Phailin's hand, "Daughter I am already proud of you. Many obstacles and yet you are so happy, always smiling."
"The secret answer is everyone has to have a Cho! Then they would be happy like me."
Kanda slipped her arm around my waist, "Well that is a problem because the stock of Cho's is small." We laughed at that. I waved from the gate as their car pulled away.
I had my iPhone in the back of my bikini bottom on vibrate, it gave me a buzz. Thet, Cho's security man, let me know that his men would be in place at Suvarnabhumi Airport with cars shortly. I thanked him for the good work.
A quick wash up and into my sleeveless green sun dress and heeled brown espadrilles'. Lek and one of Cho's big Merc's were ready to go. He knew about the stop I wanted to make at the Villa Market on Soi Sirijulasawake Silom.
Airport security was waiting when we arrived. They had been alerted by Dad Keren's office to help all the arrivals from the London office.
I thanked the security commander for his assistance. We were at the gate as the passengers began disembarking. Reg and Rona were in my arms! At the cars we piled in, their bags in the boot. They had a good flight, Rona wasn't sick, Reg needed a beer! Thirty minutes later we passed Niran at the gate and I sprung my surprise on Reg. The Villa Market had Newcastle Ale – cold! I bought three dozen as a starter pack all in a cooler in the boot.
He had a good laugh at me and a hug. Rona loved the guest suite, "OK bikini's on the terrace, not you Reg! The bikini I mean."
I decided to have a bit of fun and put on the `dangerous' white thong one. Rona gave me a fist bump after Reg's eyes went back to normal. "Shit Fay be careful OK? I'm not a young enough man for too much of that!"
I calmed his nerves with a Newcastle `brown.' He spread out on a lounge, Rona got a house tour. Holding hands I showed her the armoire Cho had used to save all my things until I was freed.
"He is a romantic! So nice that Reg has a little bit though not on Cho's scale."
On cue when his name was spoken the man himself came in, we both got kissed but Rona's was more chaste than mine. He had talked to Reg and seen my secret – Newcastle's. Oh well, sometimes it doesn't work out.
We were shooed out so a Speedo could be donned. Rona and I shared a `brown' watching Amporn make snacks for us. Dinner was planned for the terrace later.
Rona gave me a hip bump as Cho appeared in his Speedo, "Girl, you found yourself a hottie!"
We broke up laughing with Cho tickling us both into near hysterics; he swooped me up over a shoulder and tugged Rona along by her hand. Reg mentioned something about caveman tactics which had us laughing more.
Jian came home from the Railroad shortly before Ting from the hospital. Introductions done. Bathing attire was put on and they both pronounced Newcastle `brown' wonderful. Some swimming which Jian did without her cast, I was the only one left on the beach.
We toasted ourselves with Newcastle's and dove into Amporn's delicious vittles.
Dinner was great, Amporn's food was praised by Rona and Reg. Kiet was shown how to pour a Newcastle properly!
We lay quiet afterwards stuffed by Amporn as the day slipped towards an end. I gave them the morning etiquette about dress and how breakfast was served or rather picked up. No real time table except my last check showed the multiple server boxes at the terminal for delivery at 0900 tomorrow.
