Cathy’s Story
Jason and Cathy: The Beginning
He cast his eyes above to stare at the intense azure blue sky; a color the water in the harbor could not accurately reflect. It was beautiful to see the differences and not difficult to explain. It is just as well because Jason Mayes did not have the energy to appreciate the beauty or try to figure out any extra problems. There was little time as shortly he must depart the hotel for his return home where he knew the sky was almost continually grey this time of year. His seven-day Caribbean vacation was coming to an end and there was only one thing, actually one person who he could concentrate on at this moment; Cathy Wilkins.
They had met on the flight from Chicago, and during that brief time had discovered enough about each other to merit further exploration. Over the course of the week they had spent almost every waking and a few non-waking moments together. They discovered many different areas in which there existed a shared interest and appreciation. The more they looked the more compatibility they found and the closer they bonded to each other; that is until last night.
In an eye-opening demonstration Jason was exposed to a side of Cathy he could not have imagined; a side that was contrary to his very being. Jason witnessed Cathy doing things with her body that sickened him yet excited his loins to levels he did not know existed. Cathy had driven him into an internal conflict where his frustrations exploded when he was confronted by her. He lashed out with a verbal assault that destroyed any hope they ever had of happiness together.
This morning he regretted his words, but they were spoken and irretrievable. He meant them at the time, but now that his anger had cooled he wondered. . .
A knock on the door broke his thoughts. The bellboy held out an envelope: “Sir, the lady said I am to wait for and answer.” Jason opened the note and read:
Jason,
I know you were shocked and upset last night, and I am sorry I have caused you that pain, but it was important for you to see what you saw. I would like to talk with you. Will you please meet with me? If yes please tell the messenger and he will give you directions. I think it best we do this on neutral ground.
If it makes a difference I love you very much, and I would like for you to be an active part of my life.
Cathy
He thought for several moments until he again noticed the messenger standing at the door. “Tell her yes.” Jason had thought to say no, but his affection for Cathy and his curiosity to know more about her wild side demanded he meet with her. The boy handed him a second note:
If you are reading this you have agreed to meet with me. Please come to Charro’s 30 minutes after you open this note.
Cathy
It was not a long walk to the little beach bar so he did not rush. He needed time to prepare for what he knew would prove a very challenging meeting. How could she do those things? Why would she do them? These and many other questions raced through his mind.
Cathy watched him approach still unsure of what she would say. They had shared so much this past week and had grown so close, but it was not possible for them to go onward without showing him her hidden side. She had chosen to show him what he saw knowing he might respond as he did. His reaction made her wonder if she could ever find a man who would accept her as she was. Jason meeting her this morning provided a glimmer of hope.
Cathy stood and waved as Jason neared the bar so he could see she was seated alone and away from any outside listeners. “Thank you for coming.” As they sat down the waitress delivered drinks. “I took the chance you would accept my ordering for us.”
“Cathy, I’m sorry for how I screamed at you last night. You know I was very upset.” He paused then slowly and cautiously said: “I need answers to so many questions.”
“I understand what you are saying, but the answers will make more sense if I can tell you my story. Jason, what I’m about to tell you is neither pretty nor short. Can you sit there and listen without interruption? That may prove impossible, but will you try? Good.” Cathy paused before she began a story that began 15 years in the past.
The Purchase
“Up until the Friday night after my 18th birthday I was a totally sheltered girl. If you will a truly innocent virgin; the proverbial babe in the woods. I had never dated; I didn’t even know about masturbation. Everything changed that night.”
