My Special Princess

Did you ever make a decision, and then wondered if it was right?
Sometimes fate gives you unexpected surprises when you least expect
it.

At the time, I was kind of down in the dumps. I had just
called off a year long engagement and I just didn't have that usual
bubble.

We were about to head home, and then, something happened,
that would at least prove fantastic for me. There was, lets say, a
military threat to Thailand at the time, and an American US Naval
presence was warranted.

We rushed to Pattaya Beach at full speed, a resort town,
for the "Super Rich", that normally would not be a Port O' Call for any
warship. But, at the time, it was just another day for me. I just
wasn't in the mood to celebrate.

I was thinking. "A year engaged to the same girl, I got so
accustomed to her, but now I would have to start all over again."
/>

No, I really didn't want to start that dating stuff
again.

I thought. "I just want to hide away some where from the
World for a while."

We steamed into Pattaya, and my friend Kevin asked. "What
are your plans for Pattaya Beach?"

I said. "I don't know Kevin, I really haven't given it any
thought."

Kevin then said. "I'm going to try and buy a stone for my
wife. I heard that they have some good values there."

I laughed and said to Kevin. "Stones. Is that what you're
going to do with the remains of the family fortune?"

Kevins family had almost of their money invested in what
they thought was a very safe Utility Company, that latter became better
known as "Three Mile Island".

He laughed, and said. "I think they would rather sink more
money into "Three Mile Island", then to trust me with the rest of the
family fortune. They know I would spend it all."

I said. "Okay Kevin, I will check out the stones with you,
but lets not go anywhere where there are women, I'm just not in the
mood."

Kevin said. "Thats easy for me, I've been avoiding women
since I got married."

I said. "Well, you have the knack Kevin. You went to an
girls College with your billionaire friend. Only two guys in that
entire College. You must have developed a technique over all those
years to ignore women when you wanted to. You got your journalism
degree, so you must have been focused at least at times."
/>

"I focused every once in a while." Kevin said
laughing.

I said. "Yeah, thats what I have to do, get focused. I
just wish I knew what to focus on."

Kevin said. "Okay, no women. But how bout some of that
Thai beer?"

I said. "Allright. But I'm only having one. That stuff
only comes in quart bottles."

So, the ship pulls into Pattaya, and I and Kevin think we
are just going to check out some stones and have some Thai beer. But of
course that story takes a very strange turn. We pick out a store, and
Kevin doesn't like any of the stones.

The girl says. "Wait. I have more stones upstairs that I
will bring down."

So while we are waiting, I and Kevin start talking about
the current comedy routine that we were working on. Now, there is this
girl behind us, that we can't see. She's looking at something else in
the store. What we don't know, is that she can hear every word that
were saying. Now, I and Kevin are just going on and on.
/>

Now this girl is trying to be polite, so she's doubled up
with pain trying not to laugh. Then I guess she got to the point where
she could no longer stand. But, like I say, we don't know about any of
this.

You have to understand that in this part of the Orient its
not polite for people to laugh at other people. People are also
somewhat guarded with their opinions and feelings for others. There is
a certain protocol that all abide by. So, if we were of that culture,
we could be offended by someone laughing at our conversation.
/>

Now the girl returns from upstairs with the stones, and
notices that this girl is laying on the floor gagging.
/>

She yells. "Help."

We run over and it appears to me as if the girl is trying
to talk, but she can't. Her face seems all flush and red, as if she's
having a high blood pressure attack or something.

The girl from the store than yells to me and says. "Give
her mouth to mouth."

I gave her mouth to mouth, and then she seemed to revive.
Now she starts to talk.

She explains. "I am fine, I just had a laughing fit."
/>

Kevin then says to her. "What were you laughing
about?"

Then she explained. "I overheard heard your conversation
and I was afraid that you would think that I was rude if I laughed. So,
I tried to hold back from laughing. But the two of you just kept
getting funnier and funnier. So finally, I fell to the floor doubled up
with pain from trying not to laugh."

I looked at Kevin and said. "Wow, its not just sailors
that find us funny."

Kevin said. "Gee. I thought all those guys that said they
were laughing so much, that they got sick to their stomachs were just
putting us on."

I said damn Kevin. "You could get people sea sick on
land."

Now she starts laughing again, but she's not trying to
hide it. She thanks me for saving her life, after I and Kevin, almost
killed her with our comedy routine.

She says. "Come with me. I know where you can get the
stones you want."

She ushers us into this waiting limo with a driver
standing there to open the door for her.

She says to the driver. "They are my friends."
/>

Then she tells him where to drive to.

So, I'm thinking. "Well she rented a limo for the day. But
I wondered why the driver kept calling her Princess. But I thought
maybe he calls all the pretty girls Princess."

We get to the store. Kevin finds a stone he likes. Then
the girl quotes him a price. While he's thinking about the price, the
girl were with whispers in the shopkeepers ear, and then the shopkeeper
quotes Kevin, half that price.

Kevin says. "Its a deal."

We leave the shop and get back into the limo.
/>

Kevin says. "Where are we going?"

She says. "You two made me laugh again, so I want to take
you home for dinner."

The limo stops, and I'm thinking. "This is home."
/>

Its an incredible Mansion with an enormous swimming pool,
and servants seem to be everywhere.

We have a great dinner and a great conversation. The vibes
are unreal. We have a few after dinner drinks and then Kevin dozes off
on the chair.

She laughs, and asks. "Did I put your friend to
sleep?"

I laughed and said. "No its married life. Ever since he
got married, he just can't seem to stay awake past midnight."
/>

She then asks. "How bout a dip in the pool?"
/>

I smiled and said. "Sounds refreshing, but I didn't bring
a bathing suit with me."

She smiled and said. "Neither did I."

We headed to the pool, and it was quiet and tranquil
there. As she removed her top, I couldn't help but stare at very
endowed breasts.

I said."You have nice seized breasts for a Thai
girl."

She smiled and said. "That's because I'm not a Thai girl.
Didn't you notice that I never bow?"

Laughing I said. "I'm not the most observant kind of
guy."

Smiling she said. "You just notice nice seized breasts. Do
you like what you see?"

As she slid out of her skirt I said. "Oh yeah, that's the
way I like it.

She ran her hands down my chest and said."You're very
muscular. Do they make everyone in America like you?"

I laughed and said. "I was the last one they made like
this."

That night, there was a full Moon out, and it was quite
romantic.

We swam around the pool for a while and then embraced. It
felt wonderful as her breasts pressed against my chest. As my hands
slid down her shapely thighs, I started to lust with arousal. I had
only known her for a short while, but it didn't seem that way.
/>

I thought to myself. "Is it all the booze I had thats
giving me this dreamy feeling?"

As I felt her hands start to slide down my waste, I
realized that she wanted to do moore than just smooch.
/>

Then, I thought. "She's very wealthy. Could I just be a
toy for her to amuse herself with for a night?"

I gazed into her eyes for an answer, but I could only feel
her sweet lips.

And at last, I said to myself. "Stop being so analytical
and enjoy the moment."

She said. "Its very dangerous here for you. The North
Vietnamese have crossed the Cambodian border and are headed this
way."

I touched her hand and said. "I know its dangerous. Thats
why I'm here. We want to make sure they don't cross into Thailand. Dont
worry I can be your hero baby."

As the night went into day, so to did the pain of my
broken engagement dissipate. She was just what the doctor ordered. Our
passion sizzled for the entire two weeks we were there. But the last
night was so hard.

I had to tell her. "Our ship is leaving in the
morning."

She said. "No don't leave me. You can have anything you
want if you stay with me. Can't you see that I've fallen in love with
you? I can think of nothing but you and I need you.

I was tempted, I was very tempted, she was beautiful, she
was wealthy and she was brilliant.

But I had a duty, and I knew it would be wrong to stay.
But oh, how I wanted to. To shirk all my responsibility, was just so
tempting. To this day I wonder if I threw away a trump card that fate
had dealt me. Were we meant to be, happily ever after, or were we just
both an interlude, that we both needed at the time?

I went back to the ship that morning and just before we
pulled out, there was a phone call for me. I asked. "Who is on the
phone?"

I was told it was some girl claiming to be a Princess.

I said. "What? A Princess."

I'm thinking. "Why would a Princess want to talk to
me?"

Then I thought. "Ah, someone's playing a joke on me. I
picked up the phone and said, King Henry here."

And then I heard the voice say. "Why are you joking? I am
very sad, and I called to say goodbye and to thank you for the most
wonderful two weeks, I ever had in my life."

I said. "I'm sorry, I thought you were the one joking.
They told me I had a call from a Princess."

She said. "Yes. Thats me. I'm a Princess."
/>

I asked. "Are you telling me that I spent the last two
weeks with a Princess?"

She said. "Yes. Who did you think I was?

I said. "But you said you weren't a Thai."
/>

She said. "Thailand is not the only country where
Princess's come from. If you change your mind, you know where I will
be."

I laughed, and said to her. "Well if you ever come to
America and you want to find me, check all the mental wards, I'm
seriously thinking of having myself committed, just as soon as were
stateside again."
