Chapter 26.
Donald and Bar-Girl Wife Toppsy, Kim and Bar-Girl Wedding.
Serious Guys and Butterflies.
The trike detoured past Allyza's bed-spacer house so she could collect clothing, and it was three-o'clock by the time they arrived at Jollibee. Trevor ate heartily, thinking the potions rather modest; Allyza ate slowly, not quite clearing her plate. While finishing their Colas, Allyza sat up and waved. A thick set man wearing a polo shirt, shorts and tennis shoes, about ten years or so older than Trevor, had entered. He hesitated, but Allyza scurried over, took him by the arm and led him to the table.
"Trevor this is Donald."
For an uncomfortable moment both Trevor and he paused, but Trevor offered his hand, "Hi. Nice to put a face to the name."
They shook hands and, at Allyza's bidding, Donald sat, saying, "Good to see romance is blossoming."
"Well, you're a great cupid; you've done a great sales job on Allyza."
"I love this kid, she's always a bundle of fun, I'd do anything for her. I want her married off soon to a nice guy."
"Trevor has bring me a present," Allyza said.
"A wedding ring?" asked Donald.
"Not yet. A necklace," said Trevor.
The conversation paused.
"Well I don't want to detain you, I've got to order..."
But Allyza cut Donald off, "NO. You sit. I will order for you. Two piece of chicken with rice, and black coffee, right?"
"Right, but..."
Allyza was already on her way.
Donald looked to Trevor, "I often bring her here for breakfast on a Sunday morning; guess I'm getting predictable in my old age."
"Then your Sunday mornings are better than mine, that's all I can say."
Donald bent over the table and dropped the amiability, "Seriously, she really likes you, what with you helping out her mother, and always calling to her. She doesn't meet many nice guys. If you two could make it together you should go for it."
Trevor blinked. "It's complicated."
"Cut through that crap. Make it simple. That's the only way to get anything worth having. If I was your age I'd be cutting through the crap."
"Don't mind me asking, but your not interested yourself?" said Trevor.
"I'm interested, but I've got to give the kid a break. I'm seventy three, married, and the doc's told me I'm beyond economic repair. Next time my heart wobbles, that's it."
"And where's your wife?"
"Toppsy ... in Cagayan, that's her province, she lives there with the kids. I reckon there's a fancy-man somewhere. Good luck to her, I don't ask. We've got a place there, but I like the bars so I won't live there. She travels up four or five times a year. She wants me to die happy, so she leaves me on a long leash."
"How long have you been married?"
"Decades. She's not yet forty. Lovely woman."
"You meet, here?"
"Yes. She was a dancer in Buccaneer, and I was coming up to my 20 years. I'd joined the marines late - to avoid jail. But that's another story. I came here on leave from Subic and wanted to stay. We ran a little bar for a few years, then Pinatubo fucked us. But we stayed on, after the kids she developed a taste for provincial life, and we're both happy."
"She doesn't resent the girls?"
"No. Allyza and her get on fine, nattering away in Tagalog, giving me looks."
"They disapprove of you?"
"She disapproves of the photos."
"She's seen them?"
"No. Allyza told her about them ... about you. The reason I gave up photographing girls was because she was my favourite model, her figure is fantastic, the best tits you'll ever see, and I was handing them around when I was drunk. It was a rocky moment, but we got over it. Funny thing is, she would get naked and do outrageous tricks in the bar, no problem, but got uptight about certain people seeing her nude photos, the churchy types."
Allyza arrived with a tray, and Donald thanked her.
Trevor rose to leave, and Allyza pecked Donald on the cheek, the men shook hands.
Donald said, "Allyza's got my number, give me a call and we can, maybe, bar-hop at the weekend."
Outside, Trevor said, "Nice guy, Donald."
"Yes. Nice guy. You also ... you are a nice guy."
Once more the trike dropped them outside La Bamba, and for a couple of hours. Allyza enjoyed the company of her friends, while Trevor alternated beers with soft drinks, answering the girls curious questions about he and Allyza, chatting with Papa-San and Mama-San, getting lost in the music and buzz of the bar. When they left, they walked up Fields to Roadhouse.
"I like the wine; is it still happy hour?"
"Ten minutes," said Allyza.
Seated against the far wall, Trevor looked down across the stage, then out around the bar. No sign of Jolina. Allyza fidgeted in her seat, bobbing and singing along to the music, instinctively wanting to dance. The first glass of red wine caused Trevor's blood to glow and head to lighten. Allyza became squiffy.
The set changed, and as he looked along the line-up, he recognized a face, not Jolina but Kim. He finished his second glass, and his head swam. Kim fascinated him and he wanted to speak to her.
When he ordered the next round he asked the waitress, "Is that girl called Kim?"
"Yes, Kim."
"I'd like to buy her a drink."
The waitress called out.
"Why you want to buy that girl a drink?" hissed Allyza.
"I know her name. I think I know her from my last trip. I got very drunk in here, remember?"
"Maybe you know many girls."
Kim eyed Allyza cautiously, and sat next to Trevor across the table from her.
"What's your name?" asked Trevor.
"Kim."
"I'm Trevor, this is my girlfriend Allyza," civil nods were exchanged, "You're a friend of Jolina aren't you?"
"Jolina. She is not here," said Kim.
Allyza interrupted, "Jolina! ... That is what you call me in Tropicana,".
Trevor glanced at her and continued, "There was a party, I was very drunk, Jolina was with Jake and you were her friend."
"When is the party?" said Kim.
"January, February."
"It is so long ago."
Trevor excused himself and went to the CR. He did not hurry. When he returned the girls were chatting.
Allyza greeted him, "Kim is getting marry."
"Congratulations. Who's the lucky guy?"
Allyza was very happy to talk about marriage, and as they drank, he elicited the story of Kim and her beau. When he looked into her face he pictured it splashed with semen, as it had been in the eighty-three photos saved on his computer.
As they lay in bed that night, the last thing Allyza said before they fell asleep was, "Kim is such a lucky girl to get married. I like to get married also."
Trevor thought, Not just yet. You're not quite ready yet. I still have my movie to direct.
Over the next couple of days they sunbathed, bar-hopped and swam, enjoying one another's company and making love. Twice they made the trip to Angeles Flying Club to clock up more flying hours. Trevor's only discomfort was when Allyza obliquely slipped the topic of marriage into the conversation. He was far from ready to discuss it, or make any commitment, and would rapidly steer the conversation elsewhere, but he was conscious that Allyza imagined they had struck a deal, and his harvesting of her anal cherry had consummated it.
She rapidly accommodated to him, and the highlight of their love making was when he slid into her elastic arse and pumped to orgasm. As Allyza's sphincter relaxed, he began to appreciate that the appeal of anal sex went far beyond the psychological thrill of breaking a taboo. The anus was an active orifice, it behaved, it responded, it could welcome or resist and it could open like a flower to display its beauty. And, it gave its pleasure unconditionally, permitting ejaculation without penalty. The vagina was plain and passive in comparison, a mantrap, ready to trick you into fatherhood.
On Wednesday, as they sat under the awning next to the pool, shaded from the azure sky, watching the couples frolic in the pool while they finished a leisurely breakfast, Allyza, once more alluded to marriage.
"Soon Kim will be married and she will go in America ... She is so lucky ... I wish I was married."
Trevor tensed. He attempted to wrap up the topic, "I'm sure you'll be snapped up in no time ... you're a very desirable girl ... You'll make someone a wonderful wife."
Allyza paused, starring at Trevor for a few seconds, "Trevor ... why do you say it like that?"
Trevor squirmed, "Like what? ... I'm sure you'll get married soon."
Allyza's face hardened, "Well ... WHAT is your plan for me?"
"I plan to see a lot of you ... I'll come here as often as I can."
"You have no plan to marry me?" she snapped.
Trevor thought carefully, "I need time ... I'm not ready yet ... I need to be sure."
Another pause followed as Trevor avoided Allyza's eyes.
"You say you love me ... I give you photos ... I give you my ass ... ARE YOU JUST A PLAYBOY?"
