I had just returned from my evening walk, had a bath and sitting in my porch, enjoying the breeze watching the evening Volley Ball game in the playground. These games are pretty serious, the village want to field a team for an inter village competition. The atmosphere can get quite tense especially if a player fucks up and the ball changes sides.
I noticed a woman standing near my fence and she was smiling at me. I couldn’t quite place her till I suddenly realized she was a Woman I meet during my walks. I have met her occasionally at the Grocery Store. I beckoned her to join me on the porch. She obliged and we started a conversation. She works at the Super market close by. I enjoyed the company. My Landlord had gone fishing and I was waiting for my daily dose of fried fish and what better way to spend time than talking with this Woman.
She was pretty, light tanned skin, a few extra pounds and very vivacious. I can’t recollect what we spoke about but the conversation was lively and it was a debate on the present political situation. She had been the Captain of her school debate team and was extremely well informed. It was fun and I enjoyed the conversation and as usual even though I agreed with her point of view chose a contradictory position.
My Landlord returned while this rather animated conversation was taking place. He had been very successful and had almost a Kilo of fish. I invited her to join me to taste my Landlords culinary talents and offered her coffee, she gladly accepted. My Landlord doesn’t know much about cooking in general but he does wonders with oil, salt and chili powder and what he dishes out is absolutely delicious. Not even his daughter can beat him at this.
She asked me if I would like to join her at a friend’s place that night as there was a party and she wanted a partner. I readily accepted. On enquiring as to what the dress code was she told me to wear whatever I liked as this was just a few close friends who met once in a way to enjoy themselves. I was elated it been sometime since I had gone for a party and was ready by nine when she came to escort me. It was a five minute walk from home.
It was a lovely place, very warm, cozy and I met people whom I have bumped into when I walk around my village and at last I was able to put names to faces. The music was really good. A mixture of English and Sinhala pop songs with an occasional Tamil song thrown in for good measure. I was wearing my trademark outfit of track suite pants, T-Shirt and running shoes.
She invited me to dance and I readily agreed. The last time I danced was when I was in India in December 2010. It has been some time since I have danced holding a woman so close. She was very nimble and was a natural. We didn’t talk much but just enjoyed the closeness and occasionally mixing it with lively movements when the music changed.
The DJ decided to play a new song that had made it in the local charts. This was the latest release of a band that made it big in Sri Lanka in 2009. I love this song; it is fast, furious, and the words are hilarious. It was described by a friend of mine in Sinhala as “Oluwak Nathi, Kakulak Nathi Madak Nathi Vikarayak habe hit ekkak” (No Head, No Tail, No middle madness and a hit) These guys as far as I know are the only band in my country that sing songs where a phrase in the lyrics have absolutely no connection with either the preceding or the one following!!!
I was in full flow and started my imitation of the Elvis Presley’s jig with his legs. I had added my own style which involved quite a lot leg movement with absolutely no connection to the way my arms moved. I had made an impression!!! My Partner was trying her darndest to keep up and finally gave up and watched my movements with amazement. Everybody was staring at me and I am sure they thought I was bonkers!!!
I am not quite sure how long I danced when suddenly my left leg cramped up!!!! The pain was unbearable!! I don’t know what I croaked but my partner was quickly by my side putting her arms under my shoulder. I was bending while she kept her grip on me. I was trying to remember what I learned during swimming classes when I was a kid to get rid of a cramp. I was trying to figure out which direction to turn my leg when I realized I was staring down my partners chest, she was braless and had one of the sexiest tits I had seen in quite a while. Protruding brown nipples, and absolutely firm. I had managed to turn my leg in the correct direction, and the pain had disappeared. But I had a more serious problem.
I was having a huge hard on and had not worn underwear!!!! If I stood up everybody would have noticed it!!! I feigned pain and crouching asked my partner to escort me outside. She had noticed my obvious predicament and very sweetly played along and took me outside the dance area. Of course I used the opportunity to feel her up; she didn’t mind.
Outside away from prying eyes we sat down and looked at each other. The look of amusement in her face was followed with a kiss and we just spent the rest of the evening holding hands and sharing time together. We are good friends now and whenever we see each other we smile remembering that day before we exchange pleasantries and end up debating some thing or the other. She accompanies me now with a couple of her friends when I go for my evening walk.
