Chapter 10 Thursday
I woke up with Anna beside me, her arm across my chest, as I moved my own hand to her naked body, she moaned, I placed my fingers under her bust and gently squeezed, then turning onto my side, I let my left hand go down to her bottom and held on to her right cheek. It was then that I heard this voice. Michael, please, no love taps on my bare bottom, it will leave a mark for a week". "I hadn't planned to my sweet". I said. "Love taps are only given over clothing, in bed like we are at this moment in time, if I want to show you I love you, I do this". I then picked Anna up and laid her her on top of me. "You do love me Michael, I can feel that you do". With Anna in this position, it was very easy to make love to her, she held me, her arms around my neck, and kissed my mouth. As I filled the bank vault I heard Anna moan, then said. "Michael, I do love you, you make me so happy, so very happy. Anna slid from my body and off the bed, going to the bathroom, I could hear water, and Anna was humming to herself. I lay back on the bed, I felt alive, something I had never felt before my other two wives, the first had lied through her back teeth, with the help of her mother, she could cook a three coarse meal, she could clean polish and wash clothes etc, but as soon as she had that ring on her finger, all she did was lay on the settee all day scoffing chocolate biscuits and sweets. She never once cooked me a meal, in fact, when I came home from a hard days graft I had to cook, for the two of us. And when it came to shopping, I had to make out the list and then if, and only if she had the energy, would she walk to the shop, and even then, if she thought the shopping bag would be to heavy to carry, the would leave most of the shopping behind, it was a good job we had a milkman who delivered milk, bread and butter, without that, we would have been living on fresh air. As for money, she got an allotment of money every week, this money was to buy food, and her own clothing when needed, all bills were paid for by the bank, but this woman, would go to the bank every Thursday and try and draw out more cash, she got her own money on a Monday, but was skint by Thursday. In the end she was told by the bank manager and myself, that all the money we had in the bank, was to pay for the bills. When I went abroad with my ship, I couldn't go ashore, I had no money, any money I did have I used for esetuals like razor blade, soap, washing powder and writing paper envelopes and stamps. I realised, I had to get her out of my life, she did give me the reasons I needed, I found her in bed with two sailors, and two more in the lounge awaiting there turn. I ended the marriage and walked away. But not before, she took half of the money we had in the bank. I felt betrade by all that had happened and ended up leaving a job I loved, a career that if I had compleated it would have given me a pension to be proud of, and a little extra in the bank to boost what I would have had there, but all this was taken from me by a woman who hated my naval career, and only wanted me around to cook and clean while she got fat on chocolates and sweets. The trouble was, I then went from the frying pan into the fire, my second big mistake, and one that lasted almost 8 years, once a month I was permitted to buy a pack of three Durex, it was not making love, it was mastibation into a rubber tube, she never permitted me to go antwhere near her unless I had one on, and in bed, she would wear a bra, panties and a heavy cotton nightdress that stopped about 3 inches from the floor. And when we did the deed, nothing was removed, I was guided to the, in her words the dirty spot, and that was it, If i touched her bust, or heaven forbid her bottom, everything stopped, I was a dirty pervert and told to go to sleep. Over the last couple of years, we never spoke to each other except through the son, I would go to bed and when she came in i would turn away from her and pretend I was asleep. Only once that I can remember did she try and get me to make love to her, she said. "Please Michael, wake up, make love to me". I told her I had used up the pack of three, and she said. "I don't care, I need you to make love to me". but all I did was snuggle under the covers and told her I was tired. In the end I walked away from that marriage, the armoured plated lady could find some other sap to look after her and her family. I then hitchhiked back to Somerset, to my sisters house, she was able to help me get a very nice driving job, she also helped me get my flat, and as of now, I live there alone. I do have very good neighbours, but it would be nice to have someone to enjoy it with.
My holiday in Malta, and meeting Anna, and the fact, we get along so well, could well be the start of a nice future for the two of us. Anna came out of the bathroom. "Come on love, its time for breakfast". She had broken into my personnel nightmare, and I was glad she had. I got out of bed and headed for the bathroom kissing her as I went, she was putting on a very nice pair of flesh coloured panties, so I gave her bottom a little tap, she looked at me. "I know". she said, "Me to".
In the dining room, sat at our table we had bacon and eggs and the usual toast and marmalade, as we were eating, Henry came up to our table. "Sir madam, there is nothing in todays paper I am happy to report, so can I just say on behalf of the rest of the staff and myself, enjoy the rest of your holiday, we are right behind you". he then left us to finish our breakfast.
In the car we headed out towards the south of the Island. "So, future husband of mine, where are we going today". "We". I said. "Are going to the biggest fish market on the Island at a place called Marsaxlokk". " Michael love, why would I want to go to a smelly fish market". "Well". I said. "It's not just fish". I tried to explain that it was just called the fish market. "I must admit, there are some fish stalls, but this is the freshes fish you will ever see". "Ok love, your the boss". she leaned over and kissed my cheek. "No". I said. "In this relationship there are no bosses, we are equal partners, we plan together, we talk things through and come to a mutial decision". I pulled in at the side of the road, put the car into nutral pulled up the handbrake, then turning to Anna said. "Ok love, where would you like to go today, you deside and we can go there". "Please Michael, don't get angry with me, I don't know Malta at all as well you know, so in this situation, i have to be guided by you. Its just you assuming I would be happy to go to a smelly fish market". "Tell you what". I said. "lets go to this market, if you don't like it, I promise we will jump back into the car and head somewhere else, agreed". "Agreed". Anna said. "If I don't like it, we go somewhere else, I'm happy with that. So, we are equal partners, we talk things through, come to a decission we both agree on". "Thats right". I said. "And that is called a partnership". "Michael love, what if we cannot agree". "Well". I said with a smile on my face. "While we are courting, we will have to agree to disagree and we will be missing out on some fantastic places. Oncew we are married, it will be slightly different, you see love, I will be wearing the trousers so i will make any executive desisions for us both". I felt the gentle tap on my shoulder, then the kiss. "I love you Michael Palmer, I don't need to be bossed around, I had that for 5 years, but I do need someone who will look after me, who will love me always and guide me in the right direction. So come on partner, lets look at this smelly fish market".
We arrived at the market at around noon and it was in full swing, there were fish stalls, but also clothing, fresh fruit,toys electrical and many others. We walked hand in hand from stall to stall for about an hour, we found a nice cafe and had a spot of lunch, once that was over Anna said she needed to get back to the market. "It wasn't smelly, in fact it was very good, better that the market in Valletta". With our bellies full and our thirst quenched we headed back to the market stalls, Anna saw a stall she recognised from the Valletta market, she asked the stall holder if she had any more of the panties she had bought the last time. The stall holder produced two boxes of panties for Anna to look at, I watched as she picked up a pair in yellow and a pair in pale green. "Ok love, which do you fancy". "Well". I said, "Your the one who has to wear them". "I agree love, but your the one who likes to remove them, so come on, make an excecutive decision, I chose both, and Anna looked at me a smile on her face. "So my love you like my underwear that much, I am flattered".
It was getting late so we headed back to the car, the drive back was good, very little traffic and we got back to the hotel at around 9 pm we went streight to the bar and had a drink and a bar snack, chicken sandwiches with a side salad which went down very nicely. As we sat looking out of the window, Anna said she needed to use the toilet, she left the bar with her handbag, a few minutes later she was back sat beside me. The bar was empty apart from ourselves and the barman and he was doing his own thing, as Anna sat down next to me, she was holding the hem of her skirt. "Well". she said. "You have two choices, what colour do you think i have put on, I feel very wicked at this moment, I want to tees you". she slowly raised the hem of her skirt, and as she got to the level where I knew I was going to see the gates of heaven, knowing we had finished our food and the glasses were empty I almost dragged Anna off the setee and with her hand in mine, sauyingf goodnightr to the barman we made our way to our room. I was still feeling very excited, and pushed Anna onto the bed saying. "Yellow, green, green or yellow, but with Anna now on the bed, I did not care, My fingers were on her thighs under her skirt, and with just feel alone, I removed the object that was stopping me from making love to the woman I adored, as I looked down at her she was looking up at me, I could see in her eyes, her beautiful green eyes that she was telling me, the bank was open and if I wanted to make that deposit, then go ahead, she was ready. We made love in slow time, it was the best yet, even if i say so myself, it was as if Anna was a different woman, I think it had suddenly dawned on her, that she was a free spirit, and wanted to show me, that she could, and would be the perfect wife for me.
We went to bed at least two hours later, and as Anna turned on her side and held my fingers over her bust, she said. "Michael I do truly love you, you have made me so very happy". I smiled to myself, then looking on the floor by the balcony door I said. "Green". I felt her fingers holding mine against her breast, I felt her fingers squeezing my own so that I was gently pinching her left breast, then in a sleepy voice she said. "Clever dick".
