 Year Away in Japan 6: Ai's home in the country By Don Gordon

   The story so far: I'm a 23-year old American who's just finishing up a
one year work stint in Japan as an English teacher in a small town on the
coast not far from Tokyo.  I was all set to go home, when suddenly one
morning, one of my students, a cute girl named Ai, gave me a peek under her
skirt.  She had nothing on underneath, and it turned out she was doing it
to get me to stay another year.  I got so worked up about it I caught the
flu, but the next day, Ai showed up to take care of me, and ended up
sleeping over.  The next morning Elise, my girlfriend from the States,
phoned, and Ai, realizing that she was going to lose me, suggested we go to
a park to make love.  We came pretty close in a temple till the priest
walked in, but then it started to rain.  We gave up, and arranged to meet
again Friday after school near her house.

   Ai's house, as it turned, was the not the easiest place in the world to
get to.  I took a train up the coast, but then had to switch to a local
train, which I had to wait for for over half an hour.  The train line ran
along this river valley through the mountains.  I finally got to the right
stop, but I was running late, so I gave Ai a call on her cell phone.  She
told me there was a single road heading north from the station, and if I
followed it, she would meet me halfway.  The road followed a small branch
of the main river between two steep tree covered mountains.  I had no idea
Ai lived so far out.  I could hardly believe that she made this trek every
day just to go into school.

   After twenty minutes or so, I finally caught sight of her coming the
other way.  She was dressed conservatively, like a farm girl I guess, in
tight jeans and a fluffy red sweater, but she still looked as cute as ever.
She had her hair up in a ponytail with her jet-black bangs hanging down at
the front.  She didn't have on any makeup, but she had a healthy glow.  She
came running up obviously glad to see me.  I half expected her to dive into
my arms, but oddly she just bowed to me, and kept her distance, perhaps
aware of how close we were to her home.

   It was already starting to get dark out, and there were no streetlights,
so it was getting hard to see.  I didn't know what to do.  I couldn't very
well head back, after coming all this way, but I wasn't so keen on going to
her place and meeting her folks either.  Still, this seemed to be the only
reasonable idea.  The last train back to town would leave pretty soon, and
I did want to spend some time with her.

   Ai phoned her mom to ask if it would be all right.  She explained that I
had come out here on one of my excursions, and had missed the last train.
Her mom quickly gave the OK, and asked if I wanted any supper.  I hardly
expected to receive such hospitality from Ai's parents, but I was Ai's
teacher after all.  I had met them once before on parents day at the
school, but I barely even remembered what they looked like.

   I felt nervous as we walked up to the house.  It looked like some of the
other Japanese farmhouses I'd seen.  It was made of unpainted wooded,
turned grey by the rain.  Ai told me that there was a path up the mountain
at the back, which led up to some rice paddies, which her father farmed.

   When we arrived her mother was scurrying around trying to make the place
look presentable for this unexpected visit.  She looked up at me, eyes
wide, obviously surprised at how tall I was.  She had a round matronly face
somewhat worn with the wrinkles of age.  She looked nothing at all like Ai,
who was rather tall for her age and slender.  Ai's father was sitting in
the dining room reading the paper, and munching on some small dried fish.
The little brother was up in his room "studying" they told me.

   They invited me to sit down at the table, and chat a while.  Neither of
her parents spoke any English, so we muddled through with my broken
Japanese.  Ai's mom brought some tea for me to drink, but both she and Ai
sat quietly at the table letting her father do most of the talking.  His
face was weathered and deeply tanned from being outside all the time, in
marked contrast to the nearly white Ai.  He asked about my excursion.  I
glanced over at Ai, and then said that I was just poking around looking for
interesting places.  He recommended a few things in the neighborhood: a hot
spring inn and some hiking trails.  It got on towards the time they usually
have their baths, and they all insisted I have one first.  I usually shower
in the mornings, but Ai said I could do both.

   Ai showed me the bath, and then went scurrying off somewhere.  The bath
area was divided into two rooms, one with a sink and mirror for changing,
and another with a deep steel bathtub and separate shower.  There were
largish windows in both, and as I changed, I stared out into the darkness
outside.  Strangely, I felt a bit lonely, isolated.  I knew Ai was nearby,
but somehow having her parents there put a great distance between us that I
hadn't felt before.

   Once I started to shower, I heard a tap at the glazed glass door.  I
opened it, and it was Ai who'd brought me some fresh towels.  She playfully
peeked at my equipment, seemingly happy to have the shoe on the other foot
for a change.  I felt strange with my being naked and her still fully
clothed, but she put a finger to her cute little lips to tell me to be
quiet, and got me to sit down on this little stool, so she could scrub my
back.  I did as she asked, and enjoyed the gentle touch of her fingers on
my back.  Pretty soon my member started to stiffen.  Ai noticed, and seemed
quite shocked.  I took her hand, and got her to wrap her slender fingers
around my cock.  She formed her mouth into a little 'o', I guess in
surprise, but I thought this was the ideal shape, and started to push her
head down.  Unfortunately, just then her mother called.  Ai let go of my
cock, gave me a quick kiss, and then went to see what her mom wanted.

   I was very seriously aroused by now, but just switched the shower to
cold water, and tried to settle back down.  When I had more or less
regained my composure, I toweled off, and got dressed in my pajamas.

   I came out to the dining room, and sat chatting with Ai's mom while her
dad showered.  Ai's mom seemed very much in awe of me, perhaps because I
was the first westerner she'd ever met.  She seemed nice enough, but I felt
a bit guilty because she clearly had no idea about how close I had grown to
her daughter over the last few days.  Ai's brother Tadahiro came down to
bathe next.  He seemed quite surprised to see me, but didn't say too much.
Their dad came out, and said goodnight.  When Tad was done, Ai's mom went
in.

   Ai showed me to the room that they'd made up for me to stay in, and then
disappeared again.  The room was on the main floor near the entrance.  I
lay down on the futon spread out on the straw mats that made up the floor.
It had been a while since I stayed in anyone's house.  Back home in the
States, Elise's parents had been so strict I had never slept at her house,
much less fooled around with her in her bath.

   I heard Ai's mom and her talking in the hall, so I got up, and slid open
the paper door to see if Ai had gone into the bath.  She'd shut the curtain
that marks the entrance to the change room, but I could tell it was Ai by
her feet.  I couldn't tell if Ai's mom was still in the dining room or not.
It seemed pretty quiet.  I heard the shower come on, and decided to risk
it. I tiptoed across the hall and into the room with the sink.  Ai must
have known I was there.  We could see each other through the glazed glass,
but she didn't open the door immediately.  I tapped lightly, and she opened
it a crack.

   "Go away.  Go away," she whispered, shooing me away with her hand.  I
wouldn't let her close the door, but finally agreed not to touch her.  She
looked great with her body all wet like that.  Her pubic hair was
glistening and dripping invitingly.  She was using some kind of body soap
that smelled so sexy.  Maybe it wasn't the soap at all, but the musky scent
reminded me of her.

   She finished showering, and got into the bathtub.  She told me to go
check if her mom was still up.  I went out into the hall, but the lights
were all out.  There was no one in the dining room, and all I could hear
were the crickets outside.  I came back as she finished toweling off, and
slipped a t-shirt over her head.  She pushed me back to my room, and tried
to get me to lie down, and go to sleep.  I lay down, and she pulled a quilt
over me, but I was way too wound up for sleep.  I went to speak, but she
put her hand over my mouth.  She was desperately afraid we would wake her
parents.

   She moved her hand away, and looked deeply into my eyes, this gentle
smile on her lips.  She had me pinned down under the quilt, so I rolled to
tilt her, and she slid off me to the side.  I turned to face her, and we
stared into each other's eyes for a while, and then kissed.  The smacking
sound of our lips rang out loud in the darkness.  She motioned for me to
stay back, while she listened carefully to see if her parents had heard us.
I could still hear the crickets but no sign of anything else.

   I pushed the covers away, and pulled her towards me.  I finally got her
to come closer, so I could wrap my arms around her.  She opened her eyes so
wide I could see the reflection of the moonlight from the window.  We
kissed softly and silently.  Unable to contain myself, I slid my hands down
her back to her hips.  She was blinking nervously, and when I slid my hands
up inside her t-shirt to cup her naked buttocks, she squealed.  The
high-pitched squeal pierced the night air like an alarm bell.  She
immediately covered her mouth, but we heard rustling from upstairs.  We
waited, not daring to move, but no one came down.  Whew!  That was a bit
too close.

   My heart was pounding a mile a minute, and Ai looked petrified out of
her wits.  She crawled over to the sliding door, and listened.  Her bare
ass was perched up in the air, leaving her moist pussy and puckered little
anus in full view.  This was almost more than I could take.  I wanted so
much to stick my aching cock inside her.  She could see I was near the
edge, and looked at me questioningly wondering what she should do.  Not
wanting to take her cherry till I was more sure about whether I was going
home or not, I got her to crawl right over me till her face was above my
penis, and her open twat staring me right in the eye.

   Her pussy smelled so sweet, fresh from the shower.  I raised my head
till I could run the tip of my tongue along the pink lips of her pussy. 
Her knees almost buckled as I found her delicate little clit.  I smeared
her dripping nectar onto it, and then spun my tongue just around the edge.
Her nectar tasted as good as it smelled.  She had just been staring at my
cock, and trying hard not to squeal in pleasure, but she finally grabbed a
hold, and wrapped her little lips around it.  The pent-up tensions of the
past few days started to melt away as I gave in to the sheer pleasure of
fucking her warm little mouth.

   Suddenly, Ai pulled my cock out of her mouth, and leaned her head to the
side listening intently.  Sure enough, we could hear footfalls upstairs.

   "Ai!  Ai!" It was her mother calling again.  Ai quickly backed off me,
and stood up.  I pulled my pj's up over my painfully stiff member, as Ai
went out into the hall, and closed the sliding door behind her.  I lay
there for a long while waiting for her to come back, but she never did. 
I'm not sure if her mom had heard us, but it had plainly become too risky
to continue.  I had absolutely the worst case of blue balls, so eventually,
I had to deal with it myself.  In my sensitive condition, it just took a
handful of strokes.  God!  This whole thing is driving me absolutely rangy.
I quietly tiptoed back to the bath to clean off, and then came back, and
went to sleep.

   The next morning, I had breakfast with her family.  They asked where I
was heading that day.  I was hoping that Ai would come with me, but this
would involve telling them about us.  We decided not to, but Ai did come to
the door to see me off.

   "Thank you for coming my house.  My dad and mom say you is nice guy."
This had all probably been part of her plan to get her folks' approval of
me.  I doubted they'd be so keen if they knew Ai and I were going out.  My
continuing commitment to going back home to the States would hardly make
matters any better.  I said goodbye, and felt distinctly dissatisfied as I
made the long trek back to the train station and then home.  I wanted to
see her again - to phone her, but this was all just leading in a direction
I didn't want to go: staying here for another whole year.  When I got home,
I switched on the TV in a vain effort to get my mind off the whole
conundrum.

   I didn't see her Saturday or Sunday, but I just spent the whole weekend
brooding, not really coming to any conclusions.

   Monday, I was back at school.  Exams had started, so I didn't even get
to see her in class.  On my way to lunch though, I recognized Asuka
standing in front of her locker reaching up to put some books in.  She
turned to look at me, and I could tell from the look she gave me that she
had perhaps heard or guessed quite a bit about what was going on between Ai
and I.  I had no reason to fear her though.  I should be grateful to her, I
guess, for helping bring Ai out of her shell.  She'd been the one who had
recommended that Ai shed her panties that first day when Ai came up to me
in the classroom.

   I took a good look at her.  Asuka looked innocent enough, not so
different from any of the other girls, but there was something in the way
she looked at me, the way she tilted her hips provocatively that radiated a
raw sensuality.  I couldn't help but glance down at the pleated navy mini
skirt, which covered her curvaceous little rear.  I wonder if she has
anything on underneath.  She turned back to her locker, so I just walked on
by, and sighed.

   Ai didn't show up at my classroom that day.  Her English exam wasn't
till later in the week.  I guess she must have been studying.  With all the
excitement, I'd almost forgotten that we both had important things to do.
That took me back to the decision I had to make.  I'd have to finish
marking all my exams if I still wanted to catch the flight I'd booked out
in a few days time.  Agonizing about it as I marked, finally after school,
I went to my travel agent's to pick up my ticket home.  He seemed cheerful
to finally get me my ticket, but I still had deep misgivings.  Was I doing
the right thing?

   When I got home, I gave Elise a call.  She seemed so happy, relieved
almost, to hear all the details about my flight.  Maybe she'd even guessed
that I might be seeing someone here, but that didn't matter anymore.  I was
going home to pick up my life where I'd left off.  I felt bad about leaving
Ai behind, but perhaps this was the right decision.  Elise had always been
good to me.  It had been an exciting week, but Ai and I were from two
completely different worlds.  I'd been in love with the exoticism, the
thrill of adventure, but it was time to get back to reality - time to go
home.
