The Oyster Chronicle

As is becoming a ritual, Elvie has my breakfast on the table and is waiting for me.

Joriz told Jonalyn that you are more her kind of guy than Jonalyn's. You didn't waste time on meaningless talk. You knew what to do and you did it. She laughed at her sister and told Jonalyn that 'Ron must have been bored with all your talk!' Ha! Jonalyn laugh at her sister and say, 'Ask Mother! She will explain to you! You are so difficult.' I am confused how twins can be like that!

It is confusing. I agree.

Sir, I think maybe you still need to spend some time with Susan today. And you need to start the driving lessons. The other faucets can wait a day and the electric outlets can wait longer too.

I agree. Elvie, I am going to wait on Pearl until we understand what has happened with Judith. Please explain that to Pearl and let her know I am happy with her and look forward to our night together. Tonight I want Susan and Karen with me. I will tell Susan that myself in a little bit. As to driving lessons. I will have Emelyn this morning at ten and Ros this afternoon at two.

Sige. You like the melon shake?

Yeh, I do. What is it? It tastes like cantaloupe.

Oo it is.

Nice way to start the day.

Fifteen minutes later I find Susan in a bedroom, ironing and folding clothing.

I am sorry I didn't spend more time with you yesterday. Do you forgive me?

You sure you want this child, Ron?

Yeh, I am very sure. And I am very glad it will be ours. Yours and mine. Susan, you are the reason all this is happening. If you are not here, then none of this is here. You are very important to me.

Good. Very good. What we name him?

You already know the sex? I am smiling and teasing her.

Of course. My mother say if you have bad morning sickness then it a girl. I not have any, so it a boy¹.

I see. What names have you considered?

I like Ronald of course! It a nice name.

I see, any others?

Charles? Maybe that. I hear of a prince with that name. What your father's name?

Leroy.

Ha no! Not that.

So Jethro isn't any good either?

No! ... Maybe Jack. You like Jack?

Jack is good.

OK, but, I think we call him Ronald. Maybe his nickname be Ron-Ron.

Ha, maybe I will call him da-doo-Ron-Ron.

Why you call him that?

Just a joke, Susan, Never mind. Susan are you wanting to get married?

What? No! NO! No good. What we do with k'Ren then. Bad idea!

OK. Speaking of the two of you together, will you and k'Ren be with me tonight? I miss you both very much.

Yes. Very much, yes. ... Ron, will you teach me the motorcycle? I not sure Jenny teach me right.

Sure but, you have a few more days on the bicycle first. I want you to completely overcome your fear of falling over on that before we start with the motorcycle. You need to trust your ability to balance. You also need to learn that moving faster makes balance easier. It is one thing to say it. It is another to feel it and believe it.

She changes the subject and wants to know when I am due back to Immigration. I am not sure. My application for the SRRV requires a trip to Manila.

I ask her if she has ever been to Manila; she hasn't and would love to go. She wants to see the Mall of Asia. She wants to see a musical performance at the Araneta Center. Can we get tickets to Showtime, the noontime TV show on ABS-CBN? Have I seen the Skyway, the elevated highway? She sees it in the TV evening news but, would like to ride on it. Have I ridden on the MRT? She has never ridden on a train. What is it like? Are the MRT and the LRT the same? Why the different names? Aren't they both the same type of train? Maybe we can attend a college volleyball game? Oh, and she would really like to see a PBA basketball game. She likes to root for Talk N Text. Maybe we can see them play? Yeh, she really wants to see Manila.

Susan and I spend another hour together just passing the time and gossiping while she irons and folds clothing. This is Sunday but, she is needed at the bakery before noon. Jenny will take her on the 220. That's all well and good but, Jenny needs a license. I don't say a word to Susan about it but, I need to fix this with Jenny.

Susan is out the door by nine-thirty. Driving lessons start in 30 minutes.

The thing about giving driving lessons is to remember that less is more. Teach just a little each time. Time and repetition are your friends. Try to do too much and the results are very sad. I start with the basics. The controls: what are they and what they do. Plus how to start the van and how to turn the engine off. It is amazing how much time you can spend on that alone.

Think I am excessive? Maybe. But I have taught five people in my life how to drive. All are good drivers and I never had to raise my voice once when I was teaching. That has to count for something.

Anyway, the lessons go fine today. No one is unhappy or frightened or angry. That is a major win in my book.

It is a little after four and we expect Susan home in an hour. The house is clean other than for the normal matters of sweeping and dusting but, the entire house needs to be painted. This is a fact that has been mentioned three times today. Once by Elvie, once by Ros and once by Emelyn. You would think that they could just all stand together and say it in unison. I get the message.

The sun is low in the sky but still plenty hot. We need to hang some new curtains on a few windows where the sun has over the years done damage from radiation alone. There are two fans going, and no one is in a hurry. I hear a motorcycle in the distance. It isn't the 220, which currently is parked under the carport along with the van.

The sound is getting louder. We don't get much traffic up here and the sound is typical of a little 125cc scooter. No one up on this road has one of those, as far as I know. We are not expecting company, so it is only curiosity that keeps me listening to the vehicle's engine.

Just as the vehicle is very near us does the engine quit entirely. Someone is here. A woman's voice calls out from behind the gate, what amounts to the Filipino version of 'Hello, inside the house!' My girls respond with muted calls of 'Hala!' Jenny goes out to see who is there.

Presently we hear Jenny opening the gate. Whoever it is, is coming in.

Jenny walks in the door, followed by Judith. But not the prim and starched Judith we know. This Judith is in clothing that looks like she slept in and she smells of brandy. She's a mess.

What brings you out here, Judith?

Sir, with your permission, I need to speak with Pearl.

Not like this. No. Ros, please take your niece upstairs, get her into a shower, and clean her up. Elvie, get her some strong coffee to drink. ... Judith once you are cleaned up and a little more sober, you can speak with Pearl. And I walk out of the room, leaving no way to argue with me.

My girls are not going to cross me on this and so I know what I have said will be done. I find Pearl in Karen's room and tell her what is occurring. Do you need a security guard with you when you speak with her? If you do, one of us will be with you. It's up to you.

No, Sir, I don't need anyone. It will be OK. Sir? Are you going to tell me what I can and cannot do?

No, Pearl. You do what seems the right thing to do, as far as you can tell. I trust you.

Even after I do what I do at the school?

Maybe because of it. Pearl, you have wanted, no... you have desired to be with Judith for years. That is clear to me. You told her the truth on Friday. You know it and she knows it. If you change from being truthful to something else, she will know it and it will feel wrong to you.

This is true but, how you know this?

We all tell the truth at times when we think no one is listening or will not believe. We just need to say it because it hurts too much to keep it hidden. I am pretty sure that explains Friday entirely. I love you, Pearl. I trust you and I do not want to see you hurt. This is something you need to do.

Salamat, Sir. Salamat. And I take my leave.

Susan is home via jeepney, and we have yet to see a cleaned up and even partially sober Judith. We also have not seen Jenny, in whose charge I placed Judith. Elvie says that when she brought the coffee to them, Judith was still a mess and crying. I have sent Ros out to bring the 125 inside the gate. We don't need that to go missing.

Supper is on the table but still no Judith and Jenny. I ask Elvie to bring them a tray of food before we sit to eat. Pearl and the other girls are at the table. Judith's presence dominates the attention of all. There is no talk of what we are risking. We are not concerned with that. There is nothing to see.

Karen wants to know if my plans for the night have changed. I don't think they have but, indicate that we will reevaluate later if needs be.

At eight, still having neither seen nor heard anything of Judith I decide it is time to find out what the fuck is happening. I knock on Jenny's door, before entering to find Judith in Jenny's arms. All quite prim and proper, mind you. There is nothing sexual about this.

Jenny, is Judith sober?

Yes.

She appears to have showered and changed clothes. Why is she here with you?

Once she sober up, she not sure she should see Pearl.

I see. And while I understand her reticence at this time, she is going to do that right now. Pearl knows she is here. She knows Judith came to see her and it is very unfair to Pearl to keep her waiting now or avoid seeing her entirely. Either you bring her to Pearl or I will, right now.

OK. Get up! You are going to see her anyway. No choice! Get up!

But what I tell her? Judith is wailing at Jenny. Jenny looks at me. I take Judith's chin between my fingers, lift her head up towards mine and tell her, You tell her the truth for once in your life. Stop lying. Stop hiding. You know how you really feel. Tell her the damned truth. You owe it to her. You owe it to yourself. You are a coward and are afraid of who you are and what you feel. I am not impressed with cowards. Be honest and tell the truth. We all know it anyway. Pearl is just waiting for you to face up to it.

How you know? What you know?

Jenny take her now. No more stalling.

Five minutes later Jenny is back with me and Judith is in Pearl's room. The two are alone in there, as per Pearl's instructions.

I decide that Karen and Susan will join me as previously planned. I suspect we will not see Judith until the morning. She can't barge into my rooms on the third floor as the doors are always locked at night. Elvie has a key, which is how she gets in but, I am in no risk of Judith walking in on us. Plus there are a number of females on the second floor who will run interference for me if needed.

I am about to call it a night. Susan and Karen have yet to join me and I haven't taken my evening shower. I am alone in my rooms. There is a knock on the door and then Pearl walks in. She is pulling Judith behind her.

Sir, I am asking permission for Judith to spend the night here, ... with me.

I need more information. Why are you asking? She has her own bed and a motorcycle that can take her there. Please explain why I should allow this.

Sir, I think Judith needs to tell you why. I can but, that is too easy for me. She needs to be the one to say it or maybe she should not stay. And if she lies to you, I will send her home.

OK. Pearl that makes sense to me. So Judith tell me why I should allow you to stay.

Judith is looking down at the floor and saying nothing. Pearl literally kicks Judith, slaps her and tells her in a voice I have not heard from Pearl before, to 'tell Ron!'

Sir Ron, I have need to be with a girl.

What sort of need Judith?

Su...su...sexual Sir. Sexual need. I sorry Sir. You will call the police now! I sorry! I sorry! And she starts bawling.

Shut up! And she does! What do you know! OK, Judith, is the need for Pearl alone or is it more general a need for girls?

Sir, Pearl for now but, you are right, it not only Pearl.

You want to lick Pearl's cunt?

Her head is hanging down and I can't tell if she is saying, 'yes.'

Look at me and answer. Do you want to lick her cunt?

She screams, Yes! and the sobbing starts.

Well, do it! She is right next to you. Get down on your knees and do it.

Pearl pushes her to the floor, opens and drops the shorts she is wearing, spreads her own legs, and pushes Judith's face into her cunt. Eat me, bitch!

Judith does as told. Pearl is grinding her pelvis into Judith's mouth and I ask my girl, Pearl, you are a virgin now, correct?

Yes, Sir. Pearl's hands are on the back of Judith's head.

Don't let her take that from you. Do you understand me?

Yes, Sir!

Pull her up and take her to your room. Make her beg for mercy. Have Judith call in sick tomorrow. You are out sick tomorrow too. And Pearl, I am sending Jenny to you, two hours from now. You understand? You have two days to teach this one how to act.

Pearl smiles. She knows exactly why I am doing this. Judith is panicking. Judith, you will obey Pearl. If I hear you have failed, you will be punished. Take her away from me Pearl... and Pearl?

Yes?

Take her virginity. I am sure she still has it.

No, Sir, that is for you to take. And she pulls Judith out of the bedroom. I locate Jenny and fill her in. All done, now... I need my time with Karen and Susan.

They are waiting on the bed when I exit the shower. Sisters and my lovers. Karen is smiling in a silly way. She cocks her head to one side and asks, Weird day today?

Yeh, you can say that.

Jenny tell us what is happening with Judith. What we do with her? She not for us, right?

I am not sure what we do. But I don't see her staying here.

Ron, we needed more than just the four of us but, maybe we do wrong. This seems out of control.

Judith is a complication and I never needed five new females in my life. But regret doesn't get us anywhere. We are ten including me. I don't need or want Judith. Judith fantasized about Pearl. She needs to get that out of her system. Pearl needs to get it out of her system too. But Judith's desires are more generalized than Pearl. That is good news for us. She needs to pursue her desires, away from us.

Judith want us girls too?

Maybe, but, we will push to find out who she wants at the school of those who are not here. I suspect that we can redirect her away from us. So k'Ren, your sister tells me you are about to become an aunt.

Yes, a little boy! We will call him Ron-Ren!

Not Ron-Ron?

No! Ron for you and Ren for me!

That has me laughing. It feels good. It feels good to laugh. It feels good to be here with these two. If we don't have any sex I just don't care. I just want to be with them. Just like my breakfasts with Elvie, these two have my heart and that is not a sexual thing. It is a love thing.

But soon enough, I am lying back with my head on a pillow. My lips are dancing to Susan's tongue. My cock is deep inside Karen's hot and juicy cunt. I pull my head back and ask Susan to please get a condom from the nightstand and get it on me.

Susan is saying, No, we both want to be pregnant at the same time. That is simply not smart. I say as much. Susan whispers, k'Ren will leave school, it's OK, it's safe. No problem.

No problem? Oh bullshit. I don't care what I have read. There will be complications. I am still inside Karen and Susan's lips and tongue have me going but, not going enough that I will cum. My fear of a pregnant Karen is enough to keep a damper on all of it for now.

I reach up behind Susan and find Karen's right tit. I roll the nipple in my finger. Her cunt spasms. Oh Jesus. What did I just do? Karen slams her cunt down on my cock and spasms again. Her cunt muscles are doing a line dance up and down my cock. And then, shit, I cum inside her very unprotected cunt.
