"Ouch!" Doug yelped as the minivan went over a particularly large pothole. The drive from Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, to Sen Monorom, a small town in the northeast of the country, had already taken almost 7 hours. Doug knew that the road was likely to be in a rough condition, but he was not quite prepared for making summersaults every 30 seconds or so. However, Doug really wanted to visit the elephant sanctuaries in the Mondulkiri Province and he was sure that the trip would be worth it.
"It's a good thing I only had a light breakfast this morning," Doug reflected to himself as the van went over another large pit in the road.
Doug, an 18-year-old boy from Tulsa, was admitted to the University of Oklahoma, but decided to defer and take a "gap" year off. Doug visited the University of Oklahoma campus in Norman during his last year in high school. The town and the campus looked nice enough but still somewhat boring. Doug wished to travel the world and to see other places and other countries before spending another 4 years in Oklahoma. His parents were reasonably well-off but not rich enough to send Doug to a private school on one of the coasts. Still, Doug was their only child and a good kid, and they supported his decision to delay college by a year. With the money he saved helping for several years in a mechanic's shop, and with a bit of extra money from his parents, Doug could afford to spend a year traveling the globe as a backpacker. As a condition of his deferred admission, the university required him to keep a detailed travel journal about his experiences, which he was then supposed to submit as a special student project. It was early August in the summer of his high school graduation, and Cambodia was the first stop on Doug's backpacking journey around the world.
Doug was a powerfully built, tall, brown-haired kid, standing at 6' and weighing about 190 pounds of solid muscle. Doug was a wrestler in high school and his body was strong and well muscled from daily practices and morning runs. Doug's soft brown hair was cut very short, and his naturally milky white skin had a nice golden tan from spending quite a bit of time outdoors.
Being a wrestler, Doug was used to shaving off his body hair on his torso, arms and legs to keep his body smooth and harder for his opponents to hold on to. However, he sported quite a respectable patch of dark brown hair around his cock and balls. Although Doug looked like a jock, and indeed was a jock, he was a good student and displayed much more curiosity about the outside world than most of his wrestling team buddies.
Doug had arranged to rent a bungalow in Sen Monorom for 3 days through one of the local hotels, and somebody from the hotel was supposed to meet him at the bus stop.
The minivan finally rolled to the bus station in Sen Monorom. Doug grabbed his backpack and got out, stretching his arms and legs after a long tiring ride. The place looked really small and could hardly be called a town, but it did have an unmistakable charm and authenticity. At the stop Doug immediately saw a tiny Cambodian woman of about 50, holding a cardboard sign saying "Doug" on it. Doug chuckled but quickly realized that this descriptor was more than sufficient as there were only 3 passengers in the van.
Doug walked to the woman holding the sign and introduced himself: "Hi, I am Doug! I guess I'll be staying in your hotel."
The woman introduced herself as Charaya. She spoke reasonably good English and explained to Doug that she was one of the managers of the hotel. She also suggested to Doug that instead of staying at one of the hotel huts, he could stay in Chiraya's house, which was just a few hundred feet from the hotel, for half the price. Even though the hotel price was pretty cheap, Doug knew that he was on the budget and he jumped at the suggestion, especially since Charaya also offered to cook for him. They got onto a tandem bicycle that Charaya had with her, with Doug settling in the back seat, and rode to her house.
During the short ride to Charaya place, Doug explained to her that he was 18, that he just finished high school in the States, and explained about his gap year plan for the coming year.
They reached their destination in about 10 minutes. Charaya's house was small but charming, with an enclosed inner yard in the back. Doug's room was in a guest bungalow in the rear of the yard. As they were walking to the bungalow entrance, they passed an open shower in the yard. Doug was shocked to see a young girl, about Doug's age, showering there naked. The girl waved at them and smiled, and Charaya waved and smiled back.
"That's my daughter, Jorani. She is 18, like you, and she helps me run the hotel," Charaya explained.
Doug blushed and waved back at Jorani. He knew that some of the Asian cultures treated nudity quite casually, but he was still not prepared for the reality of it. He did not want to stare but he noticed that Jorani had a slim smooth light dark money colored body, about 5'5'' tall, with small compact pointy tits and a nice trim bush in her pubic area. Doug blushed and felt his dick harden in his shorts. Charaya chuckled, observing the boy's consternation, but did not say anything.
Charaya showed Doug around his bungalow, explained where the bathroom was and told him to come into the house in about 30 minutes for the dinner.
Doug put his bag in the corner and plopped onto the futon-like bed. He really wanted to take a shower before dinner but had to process the idea of an open outdoor shower first. Doug cleaned some of his sweat and grime with a towel, changed in a fresh A-shirt, and put on new shorts. The outfit did compliment the boy's muscular athletic physique.
"Maybe Jorani will like it!" Doug smiled to himself.
After about 25 minutes of rest, Doug headed in the house. He was both disappointed and relieved to see that the courtyard was empty and Jorani was no longer there.
He walked in to the kitchen of the main house, where Charaya and Jorani were setting up the food.
Doug's dinner with Charaya and Jorani was entertaining and delicious. Apart from rice and some small bowls of pickled vegetables, the dinner included a delectable coconut soup and a dish of thinly sliced marinated beef, toppled with chilis, bell peppers, basil and other herbs. Doug was really hungry after a long trip from Phnom Penh, and he devoured the delectable food ravenously, often eliciting chuckles and laughter from his hosts. He mostly talked with Charaya as Jorani only knew a few words of English, but Jorani actively participated in the conversation in Khmer, with her mother translating from time to time. Charaya explained to Doug that her husband died several years ago from lung cancer, and Jorani's two older sisters were already married. So it was just the two of them, Charaya and Jorani now.
During the dinner Doug observed Jorani intently. Jorani was wearing a light dress of several intermixing shades of blue, which beautifully complimented her slim limber frame and a round smiling face. She was rather outgoing and not at all shy, often laughing at her mother's jokes in a loud sonorous laughter. She looked at Doug confidently and mischievously and, despite her diminutive stature, was not at all intimidated by his imposing physical presence. Doug felt that she was a bit of a tom-boy and he really enjoyed her energy and her self-assured demeanor. She moved gracefully and fluidly, and Doug could see that her petite slim body was strong and agile. He was really liking this girl!
Doug told Charaya and Jorani about his travel journal and said that he was hoping to get some interesting new experiences in Cambodia that he could document for his gap year project. Charaya said something to her daughter in Khmer, and they both laughed heartily, without explaining to Doug what the joke was about. Doug did notice Jorani watching him more closely with her piercing bright black eyes after that, and smiling enigmatically.
At last the meal was over and Doug felt quite sated.
"Wow, the dinner was absolutely delicious! Thank you, Charaya! And thank you, Jorani!" Doug said, patting his full stomach.
"You are welcome, Doug!" Charaya replied with a smile.
Jorani also smiled but did not say anything.
"Now, you take a shower, and then have a good night sleep. Jorani will stay with you tonight and will take care of you," Charaya continued.
"Thank you, but that's really not necessary ...," Doug started protesting, rather startled.
"It's OK, silly boy!" Charaya reassured. "You like the girl and the girl likes you! She will take good care of you!"
