Chapter 2: Hanna Grows Bananas
I answered the knock on the door and let in Hanna. Hanna looked more radiant than I had ever seen her. She looked as if she was in her 20's, not her 30's. More than that, her clothes were becoming more stylish and feminine. I remembered how she dressed like a Saigon bag lady when we first met. Now, Hanna wore a little makeup and her dress even showed a bit of shapely leg. Hanna was starting to wear stylish heels. Hanna was always shy that she looked too short whenever she went out with Ted. I told her she looked very pretty today and that she seemed to be taking much better care of herself now that she was in love.
"Yes. Ted make me want look good for him. He good man. I think I want marry this guy. Today I tell you more story Ted and me. Maybe then you understand why I not same lady as before." Hanna sat down in the living room and I brought some tea and cookies. Hanna started to talk in her rapid-fire broken English. Fortunately, I recorded what she had to say. It was all I could do to keep notes on my laptop.
Last time, I tell you my first time I try Ted. I start to tell you next day we get up. OK, you remember. Ted and I get up and he say: "Let's have a shower together". I say I never have shower with man before. Ted say: "Hanna, we've been lying naked together all night and now you don't want me to see you in the shower? You're a funny lady." OK, I no fight with Ted. We go in to shower and I start wash myself. Ted say: "That's not the way it's done. Here, let me show you." Ted take soap and start wash me. He start wash my face and I close my eye. Ted say: "Why do your eyes go round when you close them? I never noticed that before." I say I not know. I Vietnamese.
Ted hand move down my body with hand, very soft. When he wash my tit, end of tit stand up. Ted laugh. Me, I feel horny. Ted wash all of me, even my leg. Ted wash long time between my leg. Then he give me soap and I start wash him. Ted bigger than me so I take more time wash him. I wash very good all Ted. I leave Ted banana last thing I wash. When I start wash, banana grow. I never see banana grow, always fuck in dark. Then I do something I never do before. I rinse soap off banana and I put in my mouth.
Now banana really grow. I look up Ted and he look like he have fun. Me, I horny more. I try put my hand my pussy but Ted stop me and make me stand up. Ted lift me up and put me against shower wall. Then he let me down slowly on him banana. I feel banana go in me, no trouble today. I put arm around Ted neck, put my leg around Ted back and hold on. Banana go in, go in, take long time. Then I start to move a little, keep banana in me but no fall down. Feel so good I explode again like first time Ted eat pussy.
I make noise, Ted make noise and we both make noise on wall. I say "I hope people next apartment no hear." Ted say "If they do hear us, we will just say we were fixing our plumbing." I laugh Ted joke but I feel me go tight inside around banana, he start make noise. Ted make noise and say loud Polish words again. I think he finish because banana go soft and he let me down.
I say "Ted, I want bath 15 minutes. I tired". Ted say OK and start wash me again while water fill bath. I no care. I just feel so warm and relax. I no care nothing, I feel so good. After bath, I get dress same as always for Sunday. I say myself, No Good! I no look good now I have boyfriend. Ted ask "You look sad. Did I do something wrong?" I say: "I no look good for you. I lose my face with you. I want be good looking lady with you"
Ted say: "You look as good to me today as you did last night. Hanna, we are starting something new and we will both change each other. Next week we will go shopping like we always do but this time, we will buy some new clothes to make the new you." I say I hope new me look better than old me. Ted say yes. Ted always make me feel good. I make Ted some pho for breakfast. Ted say he like my Vietnamese food. I believe Ted like because he eat lot of pho. We talk lots that day. By late afternoon, Ted say he must go his place. I say I sad, I want Ted stay all time with me. Ted say he will call me telephone, kiss me, hold me tight and he go. I not know what I think. I happy, sad same time.
I go to work next day. I so happy now that I not care that cleaning in hospital hard work. I surprise when my friend ask why I work and not go for lunch. To me I think I only at work one hour. At lunch, all my friend ask why I an so happy today. I say "I happy because I have new boyfriend."
They all talk one time and ask me who boyfriend. I no tell them he white guy. I want keep my friends guess. I say: "I tell you maybe later if we still go out. Too soon to tell you now." I start to eat my lunch and one lady see I bring banana to lunch. All my friend make fun me and say "Hanna eat banana. You like eat banana? You try banana new boyfriend already? How big banana you boyfriend?" I get angry and say that I no tell because they no nice to me. I only want eat lunch. They leave but I know they still want know everything. They start to talk at other table and I know they talk about me.
I have more trouble that week. I want telephone Ted and talk him. I want tell him I think I love him. I know if I call and tell him, Ted get scare of me and run away. I know Ted no push me and take long time to ask me to go to dance. Then I get mad at Ted. He no call and I think he think that I bad lady. I say in my head: "This white guy must be just like Vietnamese guy, fuck old lady and then run and hide." My head turn all week. Sometime I think I love Ted because he good man in bed. Sometime I think I hate Ted because he no call and he no like me. I almost go crazy when finally, telephone ring and it Ted.
I say "Why you not call me? You find young lady? Who she? She prettier? Maybe she white?"
Ted say: "Hanna, slow down. You're just like the white women who are always asking if you respect them in the morning. First of all, I don't think there is any other woman for me in the world except you. The reason I didn't call is that I wanted you to think about our weekend and if you really liked me. I haven't changed my mind about you at all. That's why I wanted to get together with you this weekend. Remember I said we would start getting new clothes for you. Saturday we start to shop for you and then you come to my place for dinner. I'll make some of my cooking for you?"
I stop talking. You know this not me, say nothing. Finally, I say "Ted. I crazy this week because you no call. I want talk you too much."
"Well, Saturday, come to my place and we will talk. I'll take care of everything so you won't have anything to worry about.
Saturday, Ted come for me, we go to mall shop. I think we have more fun shop now we boyfriend, girlfriend. Ted know in him head what he want me look like. I think sometimes he not know but I go wear clothes. Know what, Ted right. Everything he say I look good, I look good when I try. We buy just one thing because Ted say we go make me new lady slow.
