"If you want me to do you tonight, come by about 4:30, I'm going to close a little early. Bring a nice bottle of Ouzo."
Did I want her to "do" me? You bet your ass I did! It was Wednesday, and she "did" me every Wednesday for the last three months. I had been looking forward to it since I came on board on Monday morning. As the ship's weather officer, I had a lot of free time and was almost always horny.
I hurried, wrapped up the day's weather forecasting, dashed to the ships duty-free store, grabbed a bottle of Ouzo and was standing in front of Ming Toy's Salon of Beauty, white hat under my arm exactly at 4:30 P.M. She let the last customer out, me in and locked the door.
Her name wasn't really Ming Toy, it was something like Betty Ming, but in school they nicknamed her "Toy" because of her size. She was a beautiful, tiny, asian woman, less than five feet tall, with golden skin and stylishly short hair so black that it glistened like a raven in the sun. I'm sure she didn't weigh 90 pounds even with her clothes on. Her waist was so small I could almost circle it with my two hands.
She looked about 18, but I knew that she was 29, divorced, with a seven-year-old son. He lived with her mother and father while she was away on the ship. She was a second generation Chinese-American, born in California. She had gone to hair stylist college right out of high school and worked in a beauty salon until she saved enough money to lease this shop on a concession basis from the cruise line company.
When we were away from our home port, she worked long hours, usually from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day except Wednesdays and Sundays. Wednesday she closed at five and Sundays we were in port.
I handed her the liquor and said, "Hi Ming, I hope you are as ready for me as I am for you." I was almost shaking with anticipation.
