Simon was on the bed, with May on top of him and Emily by his side, kissing his nipples. Auntie Susan came in without warning and kissed him on the lips. He was experiencing a massive erection which needed release urgently. He grabbed his bolster tightly and furiously thrust his prick into it. In no time, he ejaculated.
He awoke with a start and sensed that somebody was watching him. Rubbing his eyes, Simon saw a shadowy shape from the far corner of his eyes. Who was that? He couldn’t quite identify the mysterious person.
When his eyes had adapted to the environment, Simon saw Christopher stifling his sniggers. Simon grinned sheepishly at him. " Must have one hell of a wet dream, huh cousin? “, he teased. " Yah…yah….” answered Simon.
Upon Simon’s return from the bathroom, Christopher confided in him that he had been admiring Coco in secret for quite some time but didn’t have the guts to approach her. Simon gave him a few pointers but stressed that the most important thing was to have courage and be natural. His fear of rejection was his main stumbling block and once he overcame this fear, half the battle would be won.
Cracking his head, Simon devised a plan for Christopher to woo Coco and asked him to try it out and let him know of the outcome. The younger man promised to do so.
The next day, after lunch when Simon was taking a rest in Christopher’s room, there was a knock on the door. He opened it and saw Jenny standing there. She looked distraught and said that she wanted his advice.
Jenny was studying in the polytechnic and Simon guessed that perhaps she was having some problems in her studies. When they were younger, Simon had helped both his younger cousins on their studies whenever he had stayed over at their flat. So, he was not at all surprised that Jenny would seek his advice.
Upon Simon’s queries regarding her studies, Jenny gushed enthusiastically about her course. She was enjoying her studies and was in fact one of the top students in her class. " Huh? Well, if she was not having problems in her studies, what was bothering her? " Simon thought to himself.
After humming and hawing, she finally revealed that it was a matter of the heart. Simon smiled as he questioned himself :" What! Have I become an Uncle Agony to my cousins? "
Simon had a difficult time in extracting information out of Jenny. Actually, she needn’t be shy as they were so familiar with each since young and had shared many secrets before in the past but strangely on this occasion, she behaved as though she was most reluctant to let Simon know too much of her relationship with this boy friend of hers. It could be due to the fact that the subject matter was both highly sensitive and personal.
In exasperation, Simon blurted out that Jenny was wasting his time if she was not willing to tell him the exact nature of her relationship problem instead of him having to fish out the information in bits and pieces. " Look here, Jenny….I’m getting fed up with your attitude…..you came to ask my advice….how on earth am I going to help you if you don’t tell me the whole story! Either you tell me everything from the start or I’m going out of here! " he threatened in a gruff voice.
Jenny was taken aback by his harsh words and in her nervous girlish voice, broke her silence and told Simon almost the same thing as Christopher had confided in him yesterday but with a slight twist. Apparently, she was in love with this guy but he was not in the least romantically interested in her. They had gone out together many times but the guy, although to her knowledge had no girl friend, did not seem to regard her as potential girlfriend material; they got along well and enjoyed being together in their outings but it was a strictly platonic relationship.
As the young girl related her story, Simon listened intently, digested all the facts and considered her dilemma. The crux of the matter was whether Jenny should reveal her feelings to the guy and if she did, would he accept her as his girlfriend. It was by no means an easy problem to solve as the repercussions of Jenny’s revelation could turn out to be negative if he did not reciprocate her love.
Simon mulled over Jenny’s predicament as the lovelorn teenager sat stony-faced and downhearted. He could be straight upfront with Christopher but this was a sensitive young gal and he had to exercise tact with her so as not to hurt her feelings.
He spoke in a measured tone :" Well, you know what, Jenny…. if I were in your shoes, I would kinda play it by ear and at a suitable time, just hint to the guy that you like him and gauge his response. You know what I mean……"
Cousin Jenny stared blankly at him, her mouth agape, not really sure of the approach to take. " Errr… what do you mean?….suitable time?….and how to hint?…..how to know how he feels?……. Can teach me, Simon?……Please, please? “, she begged in a pathetic voice. " I’m really lost…..really, really blur!!! "
Jenny’s pitiful pleading moved Simon deeply and he really wanted to help his female teenage cousin. He was about to make a couple of suggestions when she suddenly declared: " Simon! Simon! Oh….Simon!!! You are more blur than me!…..It’s you! You! You! You are the one! I love you! Since young!"
Astounded by her revelation, Simon tried to regain his composure as the implication of her words sank in. He cleared his throat as he stammered :" Errrr….. well….Jenny…..it’s nice….I mean…I’m flattered…..but really I had no idea….I…..you…..hmmmm …..I….well…we’re cousins…..I mean you are like my sister…..yeah….that’s how I see you….yeah…..a younger sister……."
The teenager started to sob as Simon reassured her in a soothing voice. " Errrr… Jenny…..it’s just not possible…..between us……you, Chris and I are buddies…..we grew up together…. I love both of you…like brothers and sister…..you know." Simon’s words had hardly been been uttered when Jenny flung her arms around him and wailed louder, her head resting on his shoulder.
" Jenny, it’s ok……don’t cry……." As Simon’s words trailed off, Jenny rained kisses on his cheek and professed: " I love you, Simon……." He searched for the right words to say to calm her down.
“I love you, too Jenny…. but not that way….it’s sibling love….you know….between brother and sister….you are so pretty…..you will sure have many guys who will love you. Listen to me, Jenny….ok?”, he pleaded with her.
In a couple of minutes, Jenny choked back her sobs and quietly rested her head on his shoulder. She was not completely mollified by his assurances but had no choice but to accept them, at least for the time being. Simon heaved a sigh of relief as his young cousin quietened down.
A few days elapsed after that incident with Jenny when Simon was playing a game on Chris’ computer after work, he came into the room with a long face. " Hey, what’s up? You look like you have just lost a loved one! “, Simon greeted him. Chris deadpanned, :” Yah…that’s what happened….. "
" Huh? “, Simon asked, confused. " Well, you know….you advised me to pluck up my courage and approach Coco….well…..I failed…..I mean….I tried but she didn’t accept my invite to watch a movie……what to do? “, he sighed wistfully.
Simon consoled him, " Eh, that’s alright….there are many other gals….no big deal, bro! Come on…cheer up….play the computer game with me…” “Oh….alright….”, Chris intoned in a dispirited flat voice. As they played, Simon pondered over what went wrong and decided that he would find out from Coco at the earliest opportunity.
The opportunity to meet Coco to understand what transpired between Chris and her came sooner than expected. The very next day while she was washing the towels, the machine conked out on her and Simon was summoned to do the necessary repair. He deftly fidgeted with the machine and in no time, it was functioning normally.
" Coco, did Chris talk to you recently? " he asked nonchalantly. She was evasive in her answer. " Don’t you like him? “. Again, she prevaricated in her reply. " What’s with her? Can’t she give a straight answer instead of dodging the question? Since the direct approach does not work, perhaps I should try to elicit some response through a circular route. “, he concluded.
Simon quickly changed the subject and asked her what she normally does after work. Well, she liked to sing and sometimes would join her friends at the karaoke lounge. Casually, he invited Coco to a karaoke lounge after work and to his great surprise, she agreed without hesitation. He was not really good at singing but for the sake of his younger cousin, he was willing to try his hand although his listeners would definitely suffer.
" Well done, Simon! " he grinned and gave himself an imaginary pat on the back. He was going to phone Chris when Coco said, " Errrr….Simon…..just the two of us , ok? " He tried to salvage his plan of playing cupid by telling her, " I thought of asking Chris along….the more the merrier right? " But she was adamant, " No, Simon….just you and me…ok? " He replied with an air of resignation, " Well….ok. "
Evening came, work was done and it was time to let down the hair. May and Emily remained in the salon to do the cleaning up. After a quick shower, Simon met up with Coco and went to the nearby hawker center to quell the hunger pangs before they adjourn to the karaoke lounge.
During the meal, without any prompting from Simon, Coco admitted that she had rejected Chris’ date because she didn’t like his obnoxious attitude. Chris was arrogant when he had approached her, boasting that he would soon inherit his father’s business and be a big boss when his father retired. She found him so different from Simon who was both humble and helpful.
