Chapter 3 - The Plot Thickens
(NOTE TO READER: One of my followers suggested that I might start my chapters with a comment about my story. As many have surmised, this is not a story of fiction. My writing reflects real events in my life. As described to one reader, "
As written, the timeline is probably 90% accurate; the dialogues are probably 85% accurate. But the overall story line is 100% accurate. From beginning to end, my story carried on for almost 6 years. The earlier days are actually the most vivid and those are the experiences that I share in my writing." I cannot change who I was. I truly enjoyed the majority of my experiences. The major casualty of my chosen life was the damage that happened between my family and me. My family would eventually discover my activities and banished me from the family. Chinese shame is not something to be challenged. Unfortunately, I have been fully estranged from my family for over ten years.)
Mae and I made it a regular thing to have lunch at least once a week. Sex was the most common topic.
As I got to know Mae, I realized that she had a very complex personality. But I also could tell she lived a good life. Although she and her husband were relatively young, they were homeowners. To that point, I had yet to visit her home, but it sounded like it was a nice place. She also drove a late model Lexus and she dressed very well. I knew she only worked part time and surmised that either her husband had a great job with great pay, or that massage therapy paid more than I imagined.
The semester had ended and it was the first Tuesday in June. We met for lunch and I asked about her show of wealth. I wasn't trying to be nosy, but I was certainly curious.
Mae said, that her husband had a decent job, but she was the breadwinner in their household. I never expected her to say that.
So I asked what I thought was a very obvious question: "Do massage therapists make really good money?"
She said, "Some make very good money. If I did it full time my husband would not even have to work. But, then I would be too exhausted to do anything."
"So giving massages is pretty tiring?"
She just smiled and said, "Depends upon the client."
There was something in her smile that made me want to ask a question, but I was too embarrassed to even suggest it. She seemed to read it in my eyes.
She said, "You want to ask me something, don't you?"
I told her I did, but I didn't want to offend her. She assured me that I could ask anything, she would not be offended.
I hesitated and blurted it out, "Has a client ever suggested that you give him sex?"
She said, "Most of them do. It's inevitable that they will ask. Some expect it They're lying on a table naked with a pretty woman rubbing her hands all over his body. Invariably, I might accidently touch his cock or balls. That sort of touch would get even a perfect saint to ask for sex."
