My Thoughts Are Your Thoughts 10
When Elaina came back home I told her all about my adventure with the missionaries, and how I'd, 'converted,' them instead of them me. She found it hilarious, not to mention exciting, and so we spent the day of her return having fun as I described what happened with the two horny evangelists.
A few days later something extraordinary and unforeseen happened, which came as a surprise to me, but on hindsight it really shouldn't have been. We had been invited to the opening of an exhibition by an emerging Japanese artist at our local City Gallery. Fumiko Moshizara had already had critically acclaimed exhibitions in Tokyo, and London, before agreeing to exhibit in our home town. This was quite a coup for the local gallery and happily we had managed to get an invite too.
The exhibition had been preceded by a little party, a few glasses of wine and some savoury nibbles; the usual sort of thing, before some local, 'big-wig,' had declared the exhibition open. We circulated and mingled, admiring the paintings, which had a highly erotic content. Some were similar to my own erotic works, but these contained both male and female figures, whereas mine were exclusively female nudes, and she worked with a much richer palette of colours, verging onto the abstract in places. Mine were much more figurative.
The artist herself was a small woman; maybe about five foot two, very slim, and I reckoned she was about 30 years old, although sometimes I find it hard to tell age with Chinese or Japanese women. She was dressed very simply in a black dress, knee length, with very little adornment, but she could have been wearing a sack for all that it mattered. It was her face that drew all the attention, and especially her dark eyes, which seemed to glow and flash with intelligence and vitality. She giggled and laughed a lot covering her mouth with fine, elegant hands as the Japanese are wont to do. She was beautiful we both agreed, and we joked about how wonderful it would be to have her share our bed.
As we wandered round the rooms, we met many people we knew from the local art scene and as I spoke to another artist, Elaina and I became separated for a few minutes. Moving on, I was standing on my own looking at one of the paintings when Elaina hurried up to me, looking flushed and confused.
'What's wrong, you look upset?' I asked her.
'I feel as horny as can be, and I can't explain it, it just happened. One minute I was looking at a painting, and then I felt something. You're going to think I'm going mental or something, but I could have sworn that someone touched me between my legs. In fact, it felt so real, I swivelled round to see who had done it but there was nobody there. It just kept on, like someone was stroking me, and I'm so wet now, I can't explain it. My nipples too, and I was thinking the filthiest thoughts, it's a lovely feeling, but scary. As she spoke, I looked around trying to see, who else was in the room, or if anybody else was looking at us, but I couldn't see a soul looking in our direction. My heart was racing, could there be another psychic here with similar abilities to my own? I anxiously scanned the people there but could detect nothing untoward.
'Is it still happening?' I asked Elaina. She shook her head.
'No, it's stopped, but I'm still feeling so horny. Promise me we'll leave as soon as we can, I need it and I mean really, really need it, now!' I promised we would, but I was also determined to try and find who was manipulating Elaina's thoughts. Suddenly she said, 'I need to go to the toilet, will you excuse me for a moment?' and she turned to go. I held her arm restraining her gently.
'Bear with me a moment sweetheart and stop to think for a minute. This may sound like a strange question, but do you really need the toilet right this instant, or is it just something that popped into your head?' Her brow furrowed in concentration for a moment or two.
'You're right, I don't feel the actual need to go to the toilet, it was just a whim. James this is scary, what's happening to me?' So, I tried to explain as best I could.
'I've never told you this, because I rarely even think about it myself, but I have some slight psychic powers. Her eyes opened wider.
'What?'
'Psychic powers, they really do exist. For instance, if I find something, and object that's been lost, I can often get a mental picture of the person who owns it. Elaina, you have to believe me, and do what I say without any more questions, do you understand? She nodded, but she was breathing quite heavily. 'Is it happening again?' I asked her.
'Yes,' she gasped out. 'A gentle rubbing sensation, quite exquisite actually,' she closed her eyes for a moment the better to enjoy it as I casually scanned the groups of people in the gallery. I still couldn't see anything, or anyone who might be significant, so decided to play them at their own game.
'Do you still feel the need to go to the toilet?' I asked her. She nodded her head vigorously.
'Mmm... Oh yes.' I held both her arms and shook them, distracting her. Making her look directly into my eyes and concentrate.
'Here's what I want you to do. Make your way directly to the toilet, but when you go in, turn around and come straight back out again. This is very important, do you understand, do you?' She nodded. 'OK, go now, I'll be very close, but remember, go in and come straight back out again.' She assured me that she understood and made for the toilet. I tried to look casual, following her, but slowly, and not with the same urgency.
