Thay and her husband moved to Portugal in 2010, having been married for a few years following her husband's divorce. Despite the age difference, she was much younger, their relationship, both sexual and emotional, was wonderful.
They resided in a charming house near a Portuguese neighbor named Antonio, a pleasant man of about 70. In contrast, her husband was 50, and Thay was in her 30s. Antonio seemed to be a widower, though they weren't certain.
Occasionally, Antonio and Thay would chat over the fence. Her husband never gave it much thought; the couple was content, enjoying a harmonious life, and their neighbour was amiable enough.
One afternoon, while Thay's husband was away, she needed to see the doctor, but her car wouldn't start. Antonio, witnessing her agitation, since it was a situation usually handled by her husband, offered his help.
"Hi Thay, I see you're having trouble with the car and you seem to be running late," Antonio observed.
"Yes, Antonio, I'm already late for my appointment..." Thay replied, frustrated.
"Don't worry, I've called a driver I know. He'll be here shortly and will wait for you during your appointments," Antonio assured her.
"You have...?" Thay responded, surprised.
"I'll also arrange for your car to be repaired while you're out," he added.
"You will...?" Thay asked, astonished.
"He's already here now. Go ahead, and don't worry--everything will be sorted when you return."
"Antonio, I can't thank you enough," Thay said, as she was escorted to the sleek black car waiting for her.
That afternoon was an extraordinary experience for her. A professional, handsome chauffeur drove her around, patiently waiting in a sophisticated vehicle. Upon her return, she found her car repaired, cleaned, and waxed.
She immediately sought out Antonio.
"Antonio, you have been wonderfully kind. I'm at a loss for how to express my gratitude," she said.
Antonio, feeling a sense of pride from the young woman's evident admiration, replied, "This is what neighbors do. Now, I must head home. If you encounter any more issues, don't hesitate to call me."
Thay found his comment peculiar, considering she had a husband to take care of her, but she assumed he was simply being protective, almost fatherly.
"Please, let me repay you somehow..." said the eager-to-please Thay.
"There is one thing you could do for me..." said Antonio.
"What is it, Antonio? Please tell me..."
"If you don't mind, I would prefer you with dark brown hair," Antonio said to the blonde woman.
She was a little confused by the request, but wanted to thank Antonio for a great afternoon and his efforts.
"You want me to dye my hair a different colour, Antonio?"
"Yes Thay, that's what I want you to do, if you don't mind..."
"Er... no,... I mean, if that is what you want..." replied the very confused Thay...
"It is..." Antonio confirmed.
"I'll do it then..." Thay confirmed without really knowing what she was doing...
"One more thing Thay, I prefer that your husband doesn't know anything about what happened today. Husbands can be very jealous... I just want to be a good old neighbour, that's all..."
"OK, if you prefer..."
There was something exciting about a man treating her like a princess and not letting her husband know. She could not believe that she had agreed to this, but what was wrong with helping an old neighbour to fulfill his strange desires? It was odd but not intrinsically unfaithful; Thay noticed though that it made her feel a little strange in her body...
That night she masturbated for the first time thinking about Antonio. It was crazy, she had zero desire for him. He was not handsome and certainly not sexy. But there was something about the way he made her paint her hair that excited her... she wanted to please him...
The next week she painted her hair as Antonio had requested and invited him to have coffee with her while her husband was away.
"I see you changed your hair, Thay..." said the calm Antonio.
"Well.... You asked me to and it was my way of saying thank you..." replied a hesitant Thay.
They started to talk about their lives and tried to connect with each other. Thay had come from a humble family and, therefore, had to help her parents in different ways.
This time she was explaining to Antonio a very serious problem her mother was having with her residence.
"Thay, I have some lawyers working for me in Brazil who might be able to help..." said Antonio calmly.
"I don't know Antonio... that's too much to ask of you..." Thay replied.
"Nonsense. I will talk to them and we will find out...".
And there it was, a few days later, the problem that Thay's mother had been struggling with for years was completely solved.
Thay went to Antonio's house and thanked him in tears for such great favour, she was overwhelmed with joy and emotion.
"Thay come on... it was nothing really... I had the lawyers ready and they were able to resolve the issue very quickly," said a confident Antonio.
"It's been so long that we've been struggling to resolve it... thank you, Antonio, thank you so very much..."
After a few more exchanges, she decided to go home, but as they were saying their goodbyes, Antonio interrupted her:
"Thay, there is something I want from you..."
"What is it, Antonio?" Thay said eagerly.
"I want you to use an anklet... this anklet that I have here with me..." and he handed her the jewel.
"Do you want me to use it all the time?"
"Yes, if you don't mind..."
