"I don't know how you could change, so you must be fine the way you<br />

are."<br />

"How much do you love me?" Midori asked.<br />

"Enough to melt all the tigers in the world to butter," I said. "Far out,"<br />

she said with a hint of satisfaction. "Will you hold me again?"<br />

We got into her bed and held each other, kissing as the sound of the<br />

rain filled our ears. Then we talked about everything from the<br />

formation of the universe to our preferences in the hardness of boiled<br />

eggs.<br />

"I wonder what ants do on rainy days?" Midori asked.<br />

"No idea," I said. "They're hard workers, so they probably spend the<br />

day cleaning house or stock-taking."<br />

"If they work so hard, why don't they evolve? They've been the same<br />

for ever."<br />

"I don't know," I said. "Maybe their body structure isn't suited to<br />

evolving - compared with monkeys, say."<br />

"Hey, Watanabe, there's a lot of stuff you don't know. I thought you<br />

knew everything."<br />

"It's a big world out there," I said.<br />

"High mountains, deep oceans," Midori said. She put her hand inside<br />

my bathrobe and took hold of my erection. Then, with a gulp, she<br />

said, "Hey, Watanabe, joking aside, this isn't gonna work. I could<br />

never get this big, hard thing inside me. No way."<br />

"You're kidding," I said with a sigh.<br />

"Yup," she said, giggling. "Don't worry. It'll be just fine. I'm sure it'll<br />

fit. Er, mind if I have a look?"<br />

"Feel free."<br />

Midori burrowed under the covers and groped me all over down there,<br />

stretching the skin of my penis, weighing my testicles in the palm of<br />

her hand. Then she poked her head out and sighed. "I love it!" she<br />

said. "No flattery intended! I really love it!"<br />

"Thank you," I said with simple gratitude.<br />
