When I left the beauty shop I was in a real good mood. Three Thai girls were had been working on me to get my nails and hair done. The whole procedure took just one hour and cost only £5 --generous tips included.
Since it was already evening and I felt hungry, I decided to have dinner in a restaurant I knew from previous visits.
It was not so hot any more and I decided to walk the few blocks. When I reached the restaurant it was almost empty. Just a bunch of tourists were sitting at a table near the entrance.
I chose a small table for two in a corner. When the waiter came I ordered a glass of red wine and started to study the menu and ordered chicken curry with rice and mixed vegetables when he brought me the wine.
After the first sip of the wine my mind drifted back into the past. It was exactly 10 years ago when I had met Frank. He was a man of the world -- well travelled, good looking and very charming. I had a crush on him at the first sight. At this time I was a 25 year old Cinderella - shy, overweight and self-conscious and a virgin as well.
I guess he just felt pity on me when he took me to his hotel room.
Suddenly a sound brought me back to the present. I looked up and saw a man standing in front of my table. He was around 50 years with short grey hair. He was dressed in grey slacks and a blue Polo shirt.
"Excuse me, may I join you?" His voice and his smile were warm and friendly.
"Yes, I would like some company," I said with a flashing smile.
"My name is Peter Robinson and I am from Manchester," he introduced himself.
"My name is Lakshmi Ghosh and I am from London."
"Are you here on holiday?"
"Yes I visited my sister in Tokyo for a couple of days and now I have some spare days before I go back to London. What about yourself?"
"Oh that's a surprise. I also came from Tokyo but was there on business. I couldn't get a direct flight and so I decided to stay a few days here and do some sight-seeing".
In the meanwhile a waitress had come and he ordered himself a beer and a steak with chips.
"Please excuse my curiosity, but isn't Lakshmi the name of a goddess?"
"Yes it is. She is the goddess of wealth and beauty. It is quite common in India to give children the name of a deity. Unfortunately I haven't got any of this qualities." I said with a sad smile.
He suddenly took my hand and looked deeply into my eyes.
"Dear Lakshmi, don't be so modest. You are an intelligent and charming young lady."
"Thanks Peter. That's very kind of you."
He held my hand and looked at my neatly trimmed, pink coloured nails and took it to his mouth and kissed it gently.
We continued to chat while enjoying our meals. He told me that he was a kind of sales person and travelled a lot. I told him a bit about my work as a computer programmer for an insurance company and that visited my sister in Tokyo once a year. I also mentioned that I usually stopped in Bangkok for a few days to do some shopping.
When we finished our dinner I felt a decent warmth around my heart and a certain wetness between my legs. I haven't had sex for about two years and I was desperately in need of a nice man. I found Peter really attractive with his good looks, his pleasant voice and his good manners.
When I had to go to the bathroom I felt a bit anxious. Walking through the restaurant would expose my oversized body. With 5"8 and roughly 198lb I am anything but a looker. I wore a loose white linen dress that almost reached my ankles and hid my strong legs but couldn't completely hide my wide hips and voluminous belly. I made the experience that only a small minority of men like big women.
However he didn't show any reaction.
When I came back from the bathroom he had paid the bill and we left the restaurant and took a tuk-tuk to a nearby beer garden. The roads are rather poor in Bangkok and suddenly the tuk-tuk made a little jump that threw me straight into his arms. Instinctively he put his arms around my shoulders.
"Are you ok?" he asked with a concerned voice.
I felt so good in his arms - so save, so wanted.
"Hm"
I snuggled against him and rested my head on his shoulders.
He understood how I felt and kissed me gently on the cheek and with one one hand he started to stroke my shoulder while his other hand caressed my belly, the round and soft part of my body I liked least.
"You feel so good," he whispered in my ear.
"You like big women?"
"Not big, voluptuous and you are just right."
