Getting to know you

A life changing trip

We sat in the Tavvern all of that morning, I was just drinking tea and thinking about what had happened, On was sitting next to me holding my hand and watching Thai TV, then the daytime barstaff started arriving. When the daytime cashier sat down, I went over to pay her for my drinks the night before, but she didn't really understand, so I called On over and she explained everything in Thai and I paid her. I then said to On that I wanted to go back to the hotel and she asked me if we could go to eat first, this I agreed to and we left the Tavvern. She took me to a restaurant on Patpong 1 named the 'Tip Top restaurant' and when we sat down at a table in there she asked me if I could eat Thai food, I replied that I can eat anything, so she did the ordering for us. When the food arrived, there was a lot of different dishes, but one thing was missing for me, no beer! So I quickly remedied that oversight on On's part.

The food was very good in the Tip Top, so I made a mental note of that place for future use. We sat there for a while after lunch, me sipping my beer and smoking and On sipping lemonade with ice and smoking too, when we had finished our drinks I asked on to get the bill, I paid and then we went outside. We walked along the street in the opposite direction to the way we had gone there and we came to a main road named 'Silom road' On stopped a taxi and chatted with him for a while, then she shook her head and waved him away and stopped another one, after chatting with this one for a while, she opened the rear door, got in and called for me to get in too. We arrived at the airport hotel about thirty minutes later, I paid the taxi the 100 baht that On had negotiated and we went in the hotel, I got my key from reception and we went up to my room. In the room I just flopped on the bed and On jumped on top of me and we started laughing and fooling around for a while and that led to our second sexual encounter which was a little more comfortable this time

We showered together later, got dressed and then I took On and showed her around the hotel, she wanted to have a look around outside too, so we walked down the road a little and down a side street there, she was looking at all of the shops and got interested in the local market there, she bought some fruit and things and then we went back to the hotel. Back up in the room she peeled and arranged the fruit on a plate and we sat at the table near the window, started chatting and nibbling at the fruit. She then told me that she had to go to work that evening or she would lose her job, so I told her that we could both go to the Tavvern on the hotel minibus later. We went to the Tavvern that night, On went behind the bar to the cashier's desk and I sat at my usual seat on the opposite side of the bar to her, Tony came over to sit with me and asked me if I slept comfortably the night before and I said that I slept fine and I thanked him again for helping me out and bought him a beer. He told me that he had some new videos that night and went to get them, he brought them back a few minutes later, put the first one on and we spent all that night just watching videos, I kept looking at On all night and she would smile back at me when she saw me looking, I was really enjoying being in Thailand and going to the Tavvern now

Later when it was time for me to get my minibus back to the hotel, I paid On for my drinks and she said to me "Do you want me to go with you?" Of course I agreed and she had a quick word with Tony and then she left the Tavvern with me. That night back at the hotel we went to the disco and we danced together, it was a really good night, this was the first time that I had been up dancing in there and I enjoyed it. We stayed quite late in the disco that night, no work for me the next day, then we slowly made our way up to the room and went to bed naked together. It just felt so right now, I fell asleep holding her in my arms and I felt warm and relaxed, I had been sleeping alone for such a long time until now.

'And so it goes On!'
