Cheryl's Secret (Two Stories Series) (19 page)

They had a little small talk, but the
conversation eventually turned to sorer subjects.

“So, do you think
anything will happen with you and Mark?” Akiko asked.

“Tanya’s plane leaves today.
I don’t know. I’ll wait and see. I’m not holding my breath. I think I just want to get over him and move on,” Cheryl said kind of sadly, kind of lying.

“That would be a waste of a good man,
Cheryl. As rotten as I’ve been, here’s some good advice: avail yourself of opportunity, or you’ll regret it.”

I can’t let her know
I still want him. She’ll just try to take him away from me. Even if he resists her forever, it’s still going to be a thorn in our sides.

“Akiko, you
’re going to be initiating divorce proceedings in a few months. What do you think you’ll do when you’re free of Akira and keep your citizenship?” Cheryl asked, legitimately curious.

“I probably
won’t
get married again. After all, why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?” Akiko recited smugly.

“Because you don’t treat people like cows
,” Cheryl said righteously.

“
That’s something to think about. Perhaps I should re-evaluate some of my ways.”

Yeah, right.

“You went to a lot of trouble to teach me how to seduce Mark. But why go so far as to let your husband have sex with me, just to show me the technique? Couldn’t you just have described it to me?” Cheryl asked.

“
Cheryl, this wasn’t about Mark. I could take or leave
him.
Akira has wanted you for years. I figured one day you’d ask me to teach the technique to you. And you finally asked me. I not only delivered you to Akira, but I even joined in. He got to take turns with both of us. He got more than he ever wanted. I do want my husband to have what he wants.”

“
Out of love?” asked Cheryl.

Why is Akira’s being happy was so important to her
now?

“
Because he
appreciates
it so much,” Akiko said with a smile while she admired the expensive bracelet on her wrist. Then it clicked.

You sold me
? You cunt! And to your perverted prick of a husband who now thinks I’m going to bend over for him whenever we’re alone.

Cheryl
remembered what Amber said about talking things out with people like her, and knew doing such wouldn’t help at all. Though screaming inside, Cheryl remained silent and put her poker face on again.

“Oh,
by the way, I cleared the air with Mark. He knows that your story about my husband ‘grabbing you’ was out of context and that I’m NOT a tease. He may just change his mind about me, knowing he can get the
real
Electric Pussy from me,
lucky him.”

Cheryl
barely spoke after that, and kept herself composed long enough to see Akiko out.

As she was wiping up the table, she noticed her diary, which h
ad been missing for awhile, sitting on the table. She remembered the day her and Akiko were packing clothes. It must’ve gotten mixed in with her things.

Inside was
a short note scribbled in Akiko’s handwriting,
“Thanks for the good read!”

Oh no, now she even knows about Richard!

She then collapsed on her couch, devastated. She stared across the room for awhile, and fixed her attention on her big screen TV, which seemed to be staring back at her in judgment. She didn’t do much more than cry the rest of the day. She never hated anyone more in her life. She wanted to kill her sister, then herself. Realizing she’d do neither, she just froze.

I can’t stop her from sleeping with
Mark.

She was grateful for her American upbringing, which kept her from “honorably” taking her own life.
Besides, suicide wasn’t the only thing the Japanese were known for.

Their Story

[1]

It’s not cheating
,
Mark thought to himself as he picked up the phone to dial.

His thoughts raced as he waited through several rings.

It’s been long enough since Tanya left. I can do this. I can do this.

“Hello,
” she answered in that hot Asian voice that sent tingles down his spine.

“It’s me Mark.
How are you?”

“
I’m so glad you called! I thought you never would.”

“I couldn’t resist, actually.
Now that my girlfriend… well… is gone and well, Cheryl and I never really took off, what I’m trying to say is… I thought maybe we could get together and talk things over, you know, umm… so we can maybe understand each other.”

“That sounds like a good idea
,” Akiko responded.

“Meet me
at the Shore Restaurant. I’ll be at the bar.”

“I’m buying!
It’s the least I can do for you. You must be heartbroken that you aren’t seeing my sister anymore and with Tanya off to England…”

“It’s been tough, and
I just need a friend to talk to,” he admitted.

Mark got ready for the
ir meeting. His thoughts turned to the not-very-distant past.

“Do you think once Tanya has gone off to England that you’d be interested in seeing my sister?”

“Well, because you want Richard, and Tanya would be gone, and since Akiko’s getting divorced, technically speaking, I could very well go out with your sister.”

“That’s correct.”

Mark got on the bus to the hotel, arrived at the bar, and waited for Akiko.

Mark was only casually dressed in
a red polo shirt and black pants. Akiko came in a long black dress that slit down on one side.

By
the looks of her, this doesn’t look like friendship…

“You know my husband is in New York on business now
,” Akiko remarked as she took her seat.

“I think
Cheryl told me,” Mark replied. “Whatever will you do with all the free time?”

“I think I can find
someone
to do. I mean
something
to do,” Akiko responded cleverly, to which they both laughed.

“Mark, I need to know,
where you stand with my sister, really.”

“S
he’s never going to get over Richard. That’s all that comes to mind,” Mark said in a resigned tone.

“
How much did she tell you about Richard?” Akiko asked with intense curiosity.

“Not a lot, actually, but enough for me to walk away.”

Akiko smiled in a way that hinted she knew something he didn’t.

The both of th
em talked for about two hours. They laughed together and got along so well, that you would never guess that any of the history between them had occurred.

“You know
Akiko, I feel so
comfortable
with you now. You know why that is?”

Akiko raised her eyebrows, surprised.
She said nothing, and let Mark continue.

“Tanya played games with me
, and Cheryl outright
lied
to me. But since I’ve known you, ironically, you’re the
only
person who’s been sincere in their advances, and well, for a lack of a better word,
honest.”

Mark remembered that this was one of the places Amber worked.
He looked around several times, glad she wasn’t there. But it wasn’t Amber who would see him with Akiko. Outside in the parking lot, behind a palm tree, Cheryl was watching. Eventually Cheryl saw the two go up the stairs, Akiko with a hotel key in her hand. Cheryl then walked to the phone booth to call a cab, causing no scene.

Mark and Akiko
held hands, and smiled as they walked into the room.

“You know, I
’m not wearing any bra or panties today, just like before,” Akiko confessed.

“I take it
that you were cleaning your place and wanted to feel more comfortable?” Mark quipped.

“No
t this time!” said Akiko, removing her dress in what seemed to be one smooth motion.

Although Mark was still clothed
, he approached her with a kiss, quickly turning into more passionate kisses as he stroked his hands on her back.

“
Let’s go to bed.” Akiko said as she stuck her hand down his pants to grab his cock. She then took him there by it.

H
er expert and practiced tongue, lips, and mouth pleased Mark, and when the time came, she drew back for a “facial”. She’d never cared for the taste of semen.

That’s
for the other set of lips
she thought to herself.

Akiko
sat on the bed, his sperm dripping down from her face all the way to her nipples. She wiped some off her face, rubbing it between her legs. Mark was pleased at the sight of his “result” interspersed with her hairs. The two enjoyed a moment of just looking at each other while Akiko lay there with her legs split apart.

“
Are you ready for the technique?
No one
does it like
I
do. I’m the one who came up with it! Cheryl’s
just a beginner
.”

Mark
already knew what to do. He warmed her up with the fingering technique. When they were both ready, Akiko mounted him. She had a different “feel” to her than any other woman Mark laid with. She wasn’t just “electric” but was also just the right tightness too. Her circular motions produced pleasure beyond comprehension.

Akiko
barely made a sound. She was right at home, practicing her craft.

Minutes passed
, then Akiko made that unique facial expression that Asians do when they orgasm, opening her mouth, and closing her eyes quickly, then opening, locking eyes with him. He remembered those eyes from when he first saw them, and they were still so unreadable, so
Japanese
.

Despite the scrambling of his mind during his release, he managed one thought:

This is for you, Cheryl.

Come dripped down Akiko’s legs. She massaged it into her breasts. This was the last thing Mark saw before passing out.

The next morning found them peacefully sleeping
next to each other. Akiko woke up first. Malevolently, the first thing she did was to grab her cell phone, taking a picture of Mark lying next to her.

Her plans to email Cheryl the picture were interrupted as she heard the doo
r unlock, hearing the manager’s voice saying “This way, officers.”

Two uniformed police
women came in, followed by a man wearing a suit. This woke Mark.

With disgust Akiko shouted
“Get out of my room now! There’s no law against having sex!”

“No,” said the man in the suit.
“But there is a law against marrying solely for the purpose of attaining citizenship. Allow me to introduce myself. I’m agent Simpson from Immigration. You’re Akiko Oda I presume? I’m pretty sure this man isn’t your husband Akira.”

Agent Simpson picked up the cell phone
from the nightstand, and was pleased to see the photo Akiko had just taken. “Evidence gathering was never easier,” he said to them with a smile.

The two
officers supervised Akiko getting dressed while Mark gave the agent a brief statement. Shortly thereafter, Mark took the stairs down to the ground floor, pondering the event that just took place.

Mark was soon shocked out of his thoughts, surprised to see Cheryl
standing at the bottom of the stairs, locking eyes with him.

“Cheryl, have you been waiting this whole time? You weren’t supposed to be here until noon,” Mark said, noting it was only 10:00 AM.

“I couldn’t wait that long to see you
,” Cheryl admitted as she stood up to kiss him.

They held hands while watching the officers escort Akiko to the squad car. Before she got in, she turned and saw the two in the lobby, realizing what just happened. Sex was supposed to be
her
weapon, and both of them had used it against her. Although Akiko would think otherwise, this wasn’t betrayal. It was American justice, and Japanese revenge.

Maybe
you can kill yourself honorably now, sister! I won’t miss you,
Cheryl thought to herself.

“I won’t miss her either,
” said Mark, as if he’d read it out of her mind.

“Mark, I can only imagine what it was like to do what you did under these circumstances…”

Mark interrupted Cheryl with a crossing of his finger over her mouth.
