A Black Man's Tale Part 3
THE CHRYSO EPISODE
Then, I met the third member of the Greek trio. This was Koulla's sister-in-law, Chryso, who was married to Koulla's brother, Tony.
In common with her two compatriots, she too was a hairdresser by profession and was trapped in a loveless (
Sic
. sexless and emotionally bereft) marriage. I won't bore you with the details, but basically her relationship with her husband and kids had declined into a state of apathy, born of familiarity and neglect. Her old man's vice was gambling, a pre-occupation that left him with little, if any spare cash or time to lavish on her. Her two sons, both selfish, delinquent little pricks, gave her little cause for joy or motherly pride in their achievements.
She had long ago ceased to look within the family for self-fulfilment and began to pursue extra-marital liaisons, to re-affirm her femininity and desirability to the opposite sex, usually with men several years her junior.
Chryso was tall and uncharacteristically blonde for someone of Mediterranean origin.
She was a few years younger than her sister-in-law and her body was in good shape and well-toned in testimony to her twice-weekly workouts in the gym. The breasts were not as full as those of her sister-in-law and sagged a bit, but she had a great ass and long, shapely legs.
She came onto the scene one sunny, Thursday afternoon. She was accompanying
Zola
, to make a foursome with my friend Terry. Terry was the friend who had lent me his flat for my numerous assignations with the ladies in question. I did not mention it earlier, but Terry had his flat wired with webcams in the bedroom, bathroom and sitting room for the purpose of recording his own sexual exploits. So, as a condition for the privilege of the use of his amenities, I was obliged to video my encounters with my 'Greek sluts' (his words). Subsequently, after having viewed the juicy sexual antics of these 'sluts' he insisted on meeting them so that he could 'skewer some juicy kebabs' (my words).
Hence, thus obligated, I arranged the meeting I am about to describe. As it transpired, Koulla was unable to attend on the specific date, and so,
Zola
brought along Chryso as a last-minute substitute.
At this point, it's probably as well to give a little background on my friend Terry.
Terry was a white boy, from a Home Counties' middle-class family: the archetypal WASP! He was in his early thirties, tall, blonde, blue-eyed and of athletic build; quite handsome; affluent and professionally successful. He was the founder and director of a thriving IT and telecoms company (hence his faculty for wiring up his flat with a 'peeping tom' system for his prurient enjoyment and delectation). With all these attributes, and his 'go get' attitude that stood him in good stead in his business life, he had no problem getting laid. His prolific collection of camcorder videos was testimony to that fact.
He was also my boss. As such, I owed him a lot, since he gave me the break I needed, by employing me after I left college, thus, giving me the opportunity to achieve the life-style to which I had become accustomed.
It was a sunny Thursday afternoon, as I recall, when the ladies arrived.
Following the customary formalities and introductions, we sat in the sunny sitting room of Terry's first-floor flat, with the spring sun shining through the tall, Georgian bay windows.
From the outset, it was clear that both the women were attracted to the smooth, good-looking Englishman. Zola was especially so, if her blatant coquettishness during the preliminary introductions was anything to go by.
Chryso was coy, probably because she was slightly unsure and intimidated by the unfamiliar environment-- I mean, not the prospect of illicit sex on a sunny, midweek afternoon, but the impromptu manner by which she found herself there. She admitted to me later that she had known all her previous paramours well in advance of the eventual sexual peccadilloes in which she subsequently indulged. However, this was the first time that she was about to have sex with someone that she'd been introduced to only a half-hour earlier!
Terry, as always, the genial host asked what everybody wanted to drink.
The consensus was for coffee, so he disappeared into the kitchen to switch on his latest toy: an Italian cappuccino coffee maker. No sooner had he left the room, than
Zola
got up, mumbled something about going to the 'loo and exited in the same direction.
Chryso and I made idle small talk while we waited. The clatter of crockery and Zola's hoarse laughter could be heard from the kitchen. Who was chatting up whom, I wondered? It didn't bother me. In fact, I was starting to enjoy the company of the cool, aloof and attractive woman, who sat next to me on the sofa. I surveyed her thoroughly, from head to foot, musing (and hoping) that underneath the reserved and detached exterior there was probably a passionate and lustful persona. As it turned out, I wasn't wrong in my assessment.
Terry was taking a long time with the coffee, so I excused myself and headed for the kitchen to investigate the reason for the delay. I didn't get as far as the kitchen, since I ran into Terry in the corridor. He was holding a frothing cup of coffee in each hand as he greeted me, "Hi, old man, I'm going to show
Zola
my etchings."
He winked and added, "Enjoy your coffee."
And with that, he turned and headed for his room. At that juncture, Zola emerged from the kitchen, holding a tray with another two foam-topped cups. She beamed at me and handed me the tray.
"Be a darling and take that in," she chirped. "I hope you don't mind...," she went on, and nodding in Terry's direction she added matter-of-factly, "... if I fuck your friend?"
"Not at all," I responded, "be my guest!"
She nodded in the direction of the sitting room, where Chryso was sitting, and added, "Enjoy!"
And, with that, she turned abruptly and headed for the door through which Terry had just disappeared.
"Well, it was on the cards, I suppose,"
I consoled myself.
The beguiling prospect of getting into Chryso's pants was suddenly a reality and a worm glow bathed my nether regions.
I returned to the sitting room and placed the tray on the coffee table in front of Chryso. I met her inquisitive gaze and pre-empted the inevitable question,
"Sorry about this... seems we've been stood up... your friend's gone to see Terry's 'etchings.'"
"Oh, I see," she replied matter-of-factly. There was no hint of bemusement in her voice.
