Transit Installment 26
Jessamyn gets to know Lovely better. But how do you carry on a conversation about pubic grooming with a naked young woman you just met?
To say Dr. Jessamyn Quilter and the talented Lovely Bayani, the Captain’s daughter hit it off would be an understatement. Jessamyn is smitten and Lovely is in the mood to accept Jessamyn’s adulation with humor and grace.
Lovely entices her to play some piano duets after Jessamyn regales her with the story of of Aunty G’s twin Bösendorfers and her own lack of performing talent. “Heart and Soul,” and “Chopsticks” are hardly concert fare but Lovely transforms their four-handed dalliance into magical art.
Things heat up as Jessamyn accompanies Lovely to her cabin to change out of her concert attire. As Lovely undresses to shower, Jessamyn is intrigued by the crude tribal tattoo across her back, rimming her pelvis, adding to the mystery of the agimat she wears around her neck. Jessamyn decides that her curiosity can wait since the recital has exhausted Lovely and she is fading fast. Jessamyn tucks her into bed, kisses her goodnight, and returns to her own cabin, captivated by the phenomenon that is Lovely Bayani.
Somewhere in the darkness of the South China Sea, Typhoon Kaala menaces from a distance. But nothing troubles Jessamyn’s sleep tonight. The ocean is smooth, her cheerful maneki-neko beckons comfortingly, and the dreamcats apparently have business elsewhere. Enjoy the serialization of Transit under the novels tab.
