Life on an island off mainland Asia may sound like an idyllic paradise to some, but I assure you, it takes a lot of getting used to. I'd arrived at Aunt Lucy's in the evening and she had dinner ready when we went in. That was fine, the food was great, but there was little else to do after that, so everyone turned in. At 8 o'clock! Man, that's the time we usually get the parties started in the city.
There was worse to follow... I thought I should go to the toilet before they turned off the lights and asked to be directed there. It was an outhouse, just as I remembered it. The damned thing had no door, it was just a tiny little shed-like thing in the front yard that anyone could walk into. It was constructed with an angled wall so you couldn't see right into the thing if you were walking past, but still... for a city dweller used to proper, lockable doors, it left me feeling a little vulnerable when I used it. To add to that sense of insecurity, the toilet was really just a hole in the dirt with a couple of planks on either side for you to stand on.
Altogether, it made for a very uncomfortable toilet experience, alleviated only by the thought that I could perhaps chance upon May while she was in here and get another glimpse of that luscious pussy.
After doing what I had to do, I made way back to the house, thankful that the outhouse wasn't as smelly as I'd expected it to be. I went in just in time to see May in a white, almost matronly set of pyjamas walking into the bedroom she would be sharing with her mother. I was ushered to the other bedroom, where Uncle Larry was getting ready for bed.
"I hope you don't snore, Charlie," he grinned. His eyes were bloodshot, his face even more flushed and I realised that he'd been at the beers I'd brought over. Damn, I hope he's not too drunk to realise he's not sleeping next to his wife.
That made for a rather uncomfortable first night for me. That they woke up at 4 in the morning didn't help either. That's the time I usually go to sleep during the holidays! I would've grumbled if it weren't for the fact that Uncle Larry was finally out of the house so I could resume my sleep... and also, that maybe, just maybe, cousin May was still sleeping so I could sneak a peek at her later on.
That was my last thought as I drifted off to sleep. All 15 minutes of it. I was rudely awakened from a dream about walking in on May peeing by the fully-clothed girl, raring to go. "Wake up, sleepyhead!" she laughed as she shook my shoulder. "Time to feed the animals! You do remember that's what you used to do, right?"
I rubbed the sleep from my eyes, groaned and nodded. I would need a holiday just to get over this one. And Dad would have to pay for that, damn it. The rest of the day passed without incident. I hardly saw May at all, she was busy with the vegetables and fruits and I had the relatively easier task of feeding the animals in the morning. We switched roles in the afternoon, with me picking through the produce for the spoilt fruit and vegetables that would go to the pigs, and May cleaning up the animals' stalls. She wore the same loose cotton shorts under a big t-shirt, and damn, she looked good even with her hair a mess and streaks of dirt on her arms and legs.
Other than during the changeover of duties, the one other time I saw her, she was just coming out of the outhouse and I cursed my luck. If only I'd been a little quicker, I might've caught her in there with her pants down! Damn it!
Aunt Lucy and Uncle Larry came back with the evening tide, bringing with them the day's catch. It was pretty impressive -- eels, crabs, groupers, sea bass and some octopi. There was also a great number of farmed oysters and scallops which tasted great. Over dinner, they discussed their plans for the next day. Aunt Lucy and Uncle Larry would come back early with whatever they had in their nets before setting off for the mainland where they would sell their catch at the market. My ears (and willy) perked up at the news -- it meant I would be alone at the farm with cousin May -- especially when they said they would be back late. Then they listed a number of chores that we were to do while they were gone and my spirits sank. There was so much to do, and each of us had our own chores, so much so I wasn't likely to see much of May tomorrow either. Double damn.
My second night passed somewhat better than the first -- perhaps it had to do with me getting used to the brick bed we slept on, or perhaps I was too tired. Anyway, I was more ready to hit the sack at 8 than I was the previous evening, and more awake at 4 when Uncle Larry changed up to go out to sea. May didn't come to look for me -- she was outside having a small argument with Aunt Lucy. I only started listening to what they were discussing when it got louder, but it apparently had something to do with Lucy telling her daughter to wear underwear while I was around. May was having none of that, of course, and said so in as many words, but her mother was insistent.
I think at some point, they realised that they were getting a little too loud and that I might overhear the conversation, so they moved away and I couldn't hear anymore. But that certainly woke me up alright. Good girl, May! I looked forward to more opportunities to see her beaver today.
When I walked out of the house, however, I was confronted with the sight of the three of them wearing their rubber waders, heading out the gates. "Hey, wait," I yelled, wondering if I was supposed to join them and Aunt Lucy stopped and walked back towards me. "Sorry I forgot to tell you, Charlie, but you're on your own today," she said. "May, your uncle Larry and I will be going out to sea in the morning, so we'll need you to feed the animals and help with cleaning up their stalls."
I hesitated. Me, alone on a farm? That sounded a little iffy. My doubts must have been reflected on my face, because Aunt Lucy continued: "Don't worry about it. We'll be back before you know it, and May will be around in the afternoon to help with the rest of the chores."
What could I say? I simply nodded my agreement, unable to believe my bad luck. I wouldn't get to see her before lunch. Shit. By now, cousin May was some distance away, and she turned to wave goodbye to me before climbing into the boat. I waved back, sighing. I suppose it didn't matter. We still had the afternoon together. Besides, going by what she had been discussing with her mother, there was an even chance I would get more glimpses of her lovely snatch when she was back.
