Chapter 25: Yellow pussy for breakfast - aged to perfection
Melinda, my wife, showered, dressed and ate her breakfast without saying one stinking little word to me. I couldn't decipher anything from her face either. That's how Vietnamese women are. When they're not happy, they clam up instead of pouting or throwing a tantrum the way white women do. I thought I made her a little bit happy with that rape fantasy last night. Obviously, I was wrong.
What could possibly make Melinda so unhappy, you ask? Here's the situation. We had two unwanted houseguests, our former AC/DC nanny Vanessa and Mrs. Nguyen, the ex-Saigon bar hostess who gave me my first piece of yellow snatch. Ever since I fucked Mrs. Nguyen, I haven't stuck my dick into anything that didn't have a "made in Asia" label. Obviously, Melinda wasn't too happy to see Mrs. Nguyen show up in close proximity to my dick.
As for me, I wasn't 100% sure about Melinda and Vanessa's "friendship" but I had to keep those two apart so the "friendship" didn't become a "relationship". The obvious solution to both problems involved getting Nguyen Hièp and Vanessa Reyes out of the house as fast as western and eastern face-saving permitted. With two dangerous houseguests of a typically horny couple, how does one say "ménage à quatre" in Vietnamese?
Melinda took Tanya and Damien and dropped them off at school on her way to work. Fortunata took our two youngest as well as Pablo to the pediatrician. Fortunata was adamant that her contract didn't specify that she had to be in two places at the same time, and "ordered" me to clean up the kitchen. I rinsed off one dish, which resulted in a high-pitched female scream from the downstairs bathroom. Something female and Asian was taking a shower.
About 20 minutes later, Mrs. Nguyen appeared at the top of the stairs to the kitchen. Her hair was wet and straggling over her ears. She had wrapped herself in one of those enormous bath sheets that only women use. She was covered tits to mid-thigh in damp terrycloth, wound up like a fajita. Her feet were shod in a pair of cheap rubber thong sandals. Not much chance to see if Nguyen Hièp's body was showing age. At least I knew who it was that I cold-water nailed in the shower.
Mrs. Nguyen was slight in stature and always smiling. You might mistake her for an innocent child if you didn't know better. In reality, Nguyen Hièp survivor skills and more finely-honed street smarts than a Saõ Paolo street urchin. She could be absolutely bitchy to other women and a predator for anything white with a dick hanging between his legs. Given what I knew about her and her employment résumé from Vietnam, I wasn't about to treat her like a child.
"You have one nice house, Ông Paul. Must to fix shower. Sometimes water too cold for Vietnamese lady. Maybe OK for white lady. Say, Chinese lady you marry make big money. You tell her get someone to fix shower. Maybe Chinese lady have big money but no good in bed or kitchen like Vietnamese lady I think. Ông Paul have something eat?"
I found some of Melinda's Vietnamese ox-tail soup in the refrigerator. I heated that up and boiled some of those big, round rice noodles Vietnamese people love. A pile of cilantro leaves and, voilà, no more complaints about Melinda's cooking. Mrs. Nguyen attacked her soup two-handed, chopsticks in one hand and a ceramic spoon in the other, while noisily slurping down the noodles. It wasn't pretty but Mrs. Nguyen definitely enjoyed her food. Maybe I have a mind that's much too imaginative but watching the round, thick, white rice noodles Mrs. Nguyen sucked into her mouth made me speculate about all the white dick that must have disappeared into that mouth over the years.
Under ordinary circumstances, Mrs. Nguyen could be a compulsive talker. Maybe compulsive talker isn't exactly the right description. To tell you the truth, Mrs. Nguyen constantly prattled in broken English. Listening to Mrs. Nguyen for any length of time was like listening to James Joyce Does?anang. Mrs. Nguyen's jumbled one-sided conversations were enough to give a white boy a headache. Thankfully, a mouth full of hot soup and noodles makes for some welcome peace and quiet. I took advantage of the break to give my unwanted houseguest the once over.
How old was she anyway? Mrs. Nguyen didn't have a grey hair in her head. That didn't prove anything. Maybe she had a talented hairdresser or a decent supply of black shoe polish. My eyes moved down to her tits but she was wrapped in too much terry cloth to judge the state of her tits. No, there weren't any clues on her chest. Even if Mrs. Nguyen did a Janice Jackson, it wouldn't do my research any good. Small-breasted women, and Vietnamese women in particular, definitely aren't world class in the hooter department and they never get saggy in their old age.
Vietnamese women are the same as any other women in at least one respect. You can't ask a Vietnamese woman directly how old she is. At least, you don't pose that question if you want to live to collect your Canada Pension Plan. However, you can ask a Vietnamese woman where she fits on the Chinese zodiac, the same way you can ask a white woman "What's your sign, baby?" Since the Chinese zodiac cycle repeats every twelve years, you can make more than an educated guess as to a woman's age. When Mrs. Nguyen put down her spoon and chopsticks, I asked in my most inscrutable western manner:
"Bà Nguyen, I was just wondering what your year was. I was born in the year of the Horse. What's your year?"
Mrs. Nguyen let go of the spoon and chopsticks and banged her palms together in opposite directions. You can take the hooker out of the bar but she's still a hooker.
"Ông Paul, I think you never ask. You so cold like ice last night. I Tiger. Tiger woman and Horse man make good fuck. And you real horse. Have banana big like horse. Ông Paul, all time I in Vancouver I miss you big, hard banana, hard like jade. Ðuc, him have little saiphun noodle between legs, not big banana like Ông Paul. Since Ðuc go away, I no have banana, not even small noodle. You must to help me one this time, Ông Paul. You stuff Nguyen Hièp full with big banana?"
Yeah, and Horses are also supposed to be compatible with Pigs. And here I had a real pig in Mrs. Nguyen. I did a quick calculation in my head. Nguyen Hièp was in her early 40's when I fucked her before I married Melinda. I met Melinda 12 years ago so Mrs. Nguyen must be in her 50's now. Geez, she was born in the Year of the Horse, 1948, and that made her 54 years old. Old enough to be a granny, no, old enough to be a great-granny, given how young Vietnamese girls marry. No way was my "big, hard banana" going to end up between the legs of a 54 year-old Tiger.
"Well, Bà Nguyen, I really don't think we should start anything again. Our affair was over long ago. Besides, Miss Reyes could wake up anytime or Fortunata could come back with the kids. I didn't mean to bring up the topics of our affair or your late husband. I think we should change the subject. Now, how do we locate an apartment for you where your Korean friends can't find you."
