Quantum Leap - Vol. 4 Supernatural Paranormal Investigators

C005 Are You Afraid Of Ghosts, Readers?

"Do you want to have something to bite later?" I inquired Pornsak as the wafting scent of the grilled seafood entered our nostrils and make me salivate involuntarily. Sticking close to the flames and smoke of any grill was a f*****g bad idea since the barbequed smell would tend to stick to your clothes and even to your bodies. Luckily, the sea breeze was pushing the smoke inland and none managed to reach us. 

But it would be better if we stayed behind as far as possible but the wild techno beats that came from the extremely large amplified speakers made Pornsak seemed to grind her hips just in the same manner like the 'Kuks'. It made some parts of her body to jiggle and enticed me to stare and ogle at them for a longer intended period of time. Hahaha... It seemed that she was enjoying her drink, the music and the company as well.

"No, it is alright, Aroon. This drink is just fine by me. I don't usually eat any solids after dusk. It is not good for our metabolism rate but I sure would love to have heavy breakfast with you instead..." She explained as she chuckled to herself as she watched the silly antics of the hunked 'Kuk' gyrating his hips to the beats of the wild techno music that was blaring from the loudspeakers behind him. 

The patrons were taken aback by surprise as they were not used by this kind of service but after a while, they got used to it and even began gyrating with those 'Kuks' under the watchful hawk eyes of their spouses or boyfriends. Hahaha...!!!

I looked at her and somehow I muttered a soft "You looked kinda cute and I like your personality." in which it was replied by a smile that would be an answer to everything.

"Whoa! Slow down, cowboy!!! I know that you had just charmed this girl, to the brink that she was utterly wet." *ahem* while holding her tall glass of ice-cold concoction of snowball.

What else you think was gonna get wet, especially when you are a tiki bar, holding your drinks and the beach.

I took my camera and stood in front of her and snapped some photos from the front and from the sides. Pornsak just smiled cheerily while she looked at the lenses seductively and while pouting her lips like how Marilyn Monroe would do.

"Let's go to the wave breaker ahead. We can sit there and let the waves crash and wash our feet. At least it would surely make something wet later on, don't you think so? It had been so long since I had been this close to a beach or a body of water, except for the Sukhumvit river. You had ever been there, right?" Pornsak was beginning to slur in her speech and was clearly intoxicated while she was sipping her drink.

Hey, Mr Director... Did anyone intentionally increase the amount of alcohol inside her drink or happened to spike hers as well. A woman can't be feeling tipsy if she would go through not even half of her snowball...!!!

I walked with her onto the sandy beach and discovered that the beach was not as what I had expected it to be. It was not powdery and white like the one I had experienced on the first series of this novel...!!! Ewww...!!! She slipped her shoes off and held them in her other hand. She dug her feet into the deep sand as if she was in deep retrospection of the warm sand that had been long sunned. She placed her shoes under her arms and entwined her fingers in mine as we headed towards the wave breaker.

It was almost level to the beach and with one step on top of it, I managed to hoist myself first and then I assisted her up as well. At that moment, she sort of lost her balance and suddenly slammed her body against my chest and I could feel her ample 26B sized breasts that were straining under her bra and under the thin blouse that she was wearing. Yup, once again I have to emphasise that I hot for small-sized breasts on a tight lithe body. Yummy... Hahaha...!!!

She looked up at me as I supported my camera first while cradled her back with my other free hand. Her thigh was closed to mine and she could definitely feel the growing and pulsating hardness between my legs without the roll of a small towel to emphasise its size, mind you. It is au naturale, do you get it, guys ?!?!?

I looked deep into her eyes and I noticed something peculiar... A crescent-shaped moon was in the middle of her forehead that wasn't there a moment ago. It was partially covered by a bang of her hair. I furrowed my eyebrows as I looked intently at it and was wondering if hers was an upgraded version. Hey, I want it too as well, you know. It looks...err...kind of captivating for someone who would be held close to me and looking up at it. Hahaha...!!!

"Pornsak, your forehead... There's something like a crescent-shaped moon on it. It was not there a moment ago... And it seems to glow in this instance... It is so clear as if it is like a luminous tattoo that would only illuminate during the night or in a low light situation like this... Weird..." I asked her while I was captivated by the crescent-shaped moon in the middle of her forehead.

"Ah...it's the same to you too, Aroon. Do you want me to tell me what it actually looks like? It's like a piece of TURD emoticon that had two other eyes on it...and it's telling me what kind of s**t that goes around in your f*****g head right now while you are holding me in your arms... *AHEM* just joking guys... "

"I repeat again so that Aroon Chevapratnadumrong would not cry out like a crybaby. Actually, Aroon, it's like a five-line jointed star and the more I look into it, the more I am interested in knowing your past life, and I sort of able to feel connected with my Third Eye as well."

"Frankly speaking, it draws me closer to you. Who and what are you actually, Aroon...? You looked human enough to me but somehow your aura was something that I could place my finger on it. It had a mix of red and white, blue and green as well and the aura seemed to be emanating from the centre of your person."

The moment I heard the last sentence, my heart skipped a few beats as I really cannot really place a finger when she mentioned what am I since there was an aura that had exposed my sort of disguise as well. Is there an error in translation here or was it she was simply narrating off-script on her own Thai language that translates it directly without checking its context? I wonder...

"I'm Aroon... The Chief in editor or Editor in Chief, whichever one is my profession. I worked for a small broadcasting company that takes on small projects from the likes of you. I am a 26-year-old male, single and lives in an apartment all by myself, plus I owned a bike and I like girls with small cupped breasts such as yours..."

"I mean girls, with student-like innocent faces... Something like that... And errr... Yeah, I wanna get to know you in a more intimate relationship and maybe see if we are compatible and we can soon kick in a more wonderful direction."

She laughed at my bluntness and silliness when I answered her that I love small cupped breasts. However, she suddenly wiped the smile off her face as she turned serious and looked deeply into my eyes.

"Are you sure you wanna get to know me? Do you know that people with a Third Eye would normally die a tragic death or may not even live past the age of 30 or 35 years old? Furthermore, I asked you who and what you are because I can see beyond your past and you seemed to have 'travelled' to many places throughout South East Asia as well as other neighbouring countries. You seemed to be a deep person, someone who has a lot of secrets that even if you do expose them publically, no one would ever believe in what you are telling ... Am I right to say that?"

You can say that again, missy. No one actually knew that I had gone through a Multiverse Transmigration in the past few months that can be considered as close to a year now and had travelled through different dimensions through time and other occurrences.

I sighed when she mentioned that people gifted with a Third Eye usually dies tragically... What a wet blanket...!!! But wait... I died at 47, I think. Who would have survived a head-on traffic accident after being sideswiped, am I right? 

And in this series, I am 26 and my hormones are definitely matured and raging as on the last series I was at the age of 17. So would I die a tragic death once again? This is a question that I would ask Max when I see him next...! Yo, Max...!!! Can you hear me? What a stupid f*****g system I got who does not even answer me when summoned...!!!

"Right now, what I can say is, regardless if we do have the Third Eye or me having a Fourth Eye, which the other one was totally blind, and hidden from sight unless during I decided to take it out for a walk or even a breather in the men's room. Hahaha...!!!

"You do have to be more careful when riding, yes? If you happen to see something ahead of you that was oblivious to the other traffic, just go through it and not swerve to avoid it. You know what I mean right?" Pornsak was hinting to me about spirits that would be abundance in the Land of A Thousand Smiles.

"Then what if I see something crossing the road or maybe walking towards oncoming traffic, would I just bang into it? What happens if I happen to knock into a live person and the person soon became a wandering spirit? Would I get in trouble with the law and be charged with manslaughter or reckless riding?" I tried to keep a straight face as I discussed these issues with her.

She looked at me and knew I was joking as we put the subject aside for a while. We sat down and looked at the distant moon that had emerged from the horizon. Its whitish-blue hue gave its outlook a very different view on this night and there were a lot of stars which were twinkling under the canopy of the bluish-black darkness of the sky.

We looked ahead and suddenly I saw a blackish shadow that seems to float by on top of the surface of the sea, skimming on the surface of the water, from our right side to the left. Moving in that manner and was unaffected by the waves that were continuously breaking against the wave breaker.

I pointed at it and wanted to say something when suddenly Pornsak covered my mouth with my hands. She looked wide-eyed at me and placed a finger on her lips to hush me. That eerie floating shadow on the surface of the sea right before us was actually a SEA GHOST and it comes to the surface because it was time for it to feed on unsuspecting victims that were swimming in the seas right now. 

Victims of being snatched by this SEA GHOST would suffer cramps in their legs and arms or maybe got caught up by some kelp or even held down and got caught in its arms that were disguised as strands of seaweed. Its time for the SEA GHOST to feed and we humans were disallowed to intervene.

There was nothing for us to do except watching the SEA GHOST it as it disappeared from our view.

=*=

After some time when the Sea Ghost had passed undisturbed in front of us and slowly disappeared from view, Pornsak then released her cupped hand that she had over my mouth for quite a period of time. She let out a long and low sigh, as if there is something she should do but decided not to do it.

"Why did you cup your hand over my mouth just now? Is there something wrong not to mention those things? I am used to mentioning out loud when I saw certain things out of the ordinary and this apparition, once they had been exposed, would vanish right before our eyes."

"There was one incident when my mother called me to see a figure of a woman that was sitting on top of a rock outcrop, wearing a flowing white robe or something. When I noticed the figure, she removed her head from the shoulders, placed it on her lap as she ran a comb over her long, flowing hair. After a few moments later, she adjusted the position of her head and made it look up at me instead while she continued to brush her hair."

"I told my mother, 'Mae...the lady removed her head and combs it. Now she turns her head and made it look at us right now. How come she had the special ability to that? Don't you think she could be her own hairdresser and cuts her hair in the future?" 

"I was only 6 years old that time and I was so f*****g innocent and never knew that what I had seen was a lady in white ghost...! Or more affectionately called a Phi Song Nang or something worse called a Phi Lang Kluang that had a large open wound on its back. More like a Pontianak or sundel bolong respectively." 

Readers, do I make you shut your devices right now? Hahaha...BOO...!!!
