We talked and laughed together, ate rice and noodles and sipped on expensive wine, then walked the bustling Hong Kong streets holding hands and stopping to look inside interesting shops. Mei told me that although she practices massage therapy in Hong kong she had originally gone to school to study English.
“Its what my father wanted me to learn, so I could go into business and make some money, like him. I finished my schooling and learned much about English literature and the English language. My class read and studied many poems and great works of literature. It was fascinating and I still read very often to keep up to date.” said Mei.
“So then what brought you into the field of massage therapy in Hong Kong?” I enquired.
“Well,” she began with a small laugh, like the sound of small wind chimes when struck with a pleasant breeze, “My father was not very happy with me but my Mother was very supportive. She paid for me to learn massage therapy in Hong Kong. I like reading and working with books, but I really wanted to make a difference in the world, influence people’s lives for the better. My tantra massages remove pain and stress and replace them with relaxation, joy and tranquility. Now I can help people to heal in mind, body and spirit.” Mei continued in her soft voice.
“Also,” she grasped my hands and pulled me closer to her. “I really like the close personal contact I have with my clients.”
“Like me?” I asked.
“Like you.” Mei agreed playfully, and we leaned together kissing passionately as the sun disappeared behind the tall buildings of the Hong Kong skyline. My heart beat like a hummingbird as I felt the sweet warmth of her lips on mine. I inhaled and she smelled wonderful, like some kind of lovely and exotic flower that had just unfurled its petals. We looked deep into one another’s eyes, and I knew then that this trip would be unforgettable.
So we continued to meet like this for the whole week, each day visiting new restaurants parks and museums and learning more about one another as we went. Her Hong Kong massages were astounding, and I couldn’t remember being so relaxed and so happy in years. Yet sadly as the lovely days passed, it brought me closer to the time I would have to leave Hong Kong once more. Mei came to the airport with me and embraced me tight, tears running down her porcelain face.”
“I will miss you.” she said softly.
“I will miss you too Mei.” I said, and pulled her close for a long and passionate final kiss. I looked back at her as I was heading through the security gate, at her lovely shape, pouting lips and cascading hair, knowing that I would forever remember Mei Wu, the outcall massage Hong Kong therapist, and the precious time we spent together that perfect week in Hong Kong.
