I figured that the time was about right and I finally popped the question.
James : Would you like me to spend Sunday with you Sylvia ?
It caught her a little off guard but she recovered quickly.
Sylvia : I thought you would never ask. . haha.. and I’ll have to force you to do it.
I smiled and sipped my coffee, checking if Gillian was near.
James : I can spend the whole day with you Sylvia, the question is ….
James : in what capacity ?
Sylvia crossed her legs and leaned back with her drink.
Sylvia : Not as my brother in law..
She smiled and looked away right as Gillian approached us.
10.30pm
Dinner with my in laws stretched longer than expected and by the time I got back, it was nearing 10.30pm.
I already had plans to spend Sunday back home with my parents but it seemed I need to make some adjustments.
I could see Sylvia’s eyes on me everytime she passed my side, as if she was hoping I would tell her the plans for tomorrow.
Sometimes what woman really wanted was for a man she trust to tell her what to do, where to go, what to expect.
11.15pm
James : Sylvia.. I’ll meet you tomorrow at 10am. See you at Bedok MRT ?
Her face lit up and she smiled and nodded before hopping away into her room.
I went to bed as I ran over the plans I had in mind.
12th December 2010
Sunday
Sylvia’s birthday.
I was up at 8am, and when Sylvia came out of the room at 8.30, I dropped the newspaper and did a birthday jingle in the living room as she laughed and slapped me on my arms.
The commotion work up Gillian and she joined in too with her puffy hair and eyes as she tried to jingle in her pyjamas.
8.45am
I kissed Gillian goodbye and I left for my place.
I went home and packed a few items into my backpack and I apologized to my parents, saying that I had some matters to attend to.
10.15am
I was late but Sylvia still had a smile on her face when I got to the station.
She seemed like she wanted to ask where we are heading but I just motioned for her to hop onto the train.
The train was not pack, we still manage to get comfortable standing space but Sylvia stood close to me.
What was amazing was that we did not exchange a single word from the moment we met till we entered the train.
We just stared at each other with a smile.
It was as if the entire world was just passing us by, and we just kept that silly smile on our face until the train reached City hall.
James : We’re changing.
Sylvia tagged closed to me, I could feel her fingers tugging onto my shirt as we crossed the platform with a mass of other passengers.
I had that sweet sourish feeling of a first date, at the same time I had that bitter after taste of betrayal.
I forced myself to concentrate as I did not want to spoil my sister in law’s birthday.
We got into the train and we headed north towards Yio Chu kang.
11.15am
We alighted at the station and the moment the train pulled away, I opened my palm and I immediately felt Sylvia’s hands on mine as she clasped them tightly as she drifted close to me, our shoulder touching as we got down the escalator.
James : Are you hungry ?
She nodded her head and I let her towards the stand alone dome beside the stadium. We took a slow walk, our fingers intertwined and the smile never left Sylvia’s face.
11.30am
I bought her lunch at the restaurant and for an instance I did not feel that Sylvia was my sister in law. It felt like we were out on a first date.
She was sweet, gentle and there were a couple of traits she had that Gillian did not.
Sylvia was much more demure in her overall behavior.
There was always a smile on her face.
I asked if the food was ok, it’s not fine dining but I just like the idea it’s away from where most of our relatives stayed.
She just nodded , smiling away.
Sylvia looked almost shy that Sunday despite what we had already done together for the past couple of months.
12.45pm
I paid for the meal and we went to the train station. We caught a train back to ang mo kio and Sylvia had her arms around mine the entire time.
I was worried of course, about bumping into people we knew but as the time passed by, my mind mentally blocked out that possibility.
I too wanted to enjoy a day out with Sylvia.
As we entered the mall, there was a bridal booth and the person in charge immediately came towards us, asking if we’re married.
I smiled and was about to reject him totally but Sylvia took over the pamphlet, reading through the contents before saying she’ll consider.
James : haha. Siao ar ?
Sylvia : Would you do it with me if I wanted to ?
We stepped onto the escalator and I retreated a step below Sylvia before my arms went around her waist, I hugged her as we ascended , pressing my face onto her tummy, smelling her perfume.
She was wearing a simple spag top with capris that day.
Nothing fancy, just simple and sweet.
James : If it’s overseas, and for your eyes only, I would do it.
She laughed and returned my hug as we stepped off.
We bought tickets and caught a movie , Tron. The couple seat was a waste of money as Sylvia and I were literally hugging onto each other as we shared a single shawl she brought along.
4.30pm
I brought Sylvia to the busstop and we took a bus to the prawning place 15 minutes away and I introduced her to the concept.
Sylvia : Oh my god… I did not know such a thing exists.
James : That’s the most bimbo thing I’ve heard from you the entire day. Haha
She jabbed me in the ribs and we shared a rod.
I showed her how to measure and adjust the length of the hook and I attached the bait for her.
It was a good 15 minutes before we landed our first catch.
Sylvia was shrieking away as the prawn splashed water all over as we pulled it out of the pool.
5.50pm
I did not want to spend the day catching prawns and we bbq-ed the 6 we got on the spot.
I peeled and fed Sylvia, as her hands never left my arms as she hung on to me like a koala bear.
6.15pm
I brought her across the road to the park which was filling up with joggers and we took a slow stroll, enjoying the evening breeze.
We chatted and laughed, and yes we kissed at a quiet pavilion near the road.
7.00pm
I hailed a cab and i directed us to sim lim square.
Sylvia : Why are we heading there ?
James : You’ll see.
It was as if we knew instinctively that town was a dangerous zone, our hands parted but we still kept close to each other.
I led her on a slow walk towards Albert court hotel.
When I lingered at the entrance, Sylvia slapped me on my tummy as she laughed and hugged me at the roundabout drop off point.
I checked in with Sylvia by my side and we went up to the 6th floor.
There was no lust filled bodies clamoring for each other, I kissed Sylvia gently and asked her to take a shower while I ordered room service.
8.15pm
We sat down to dinner of burger and fries in the room in our bathrobes.
9.00pm
We cuddled up in bed, watching TV with a beer in hand.
9.15pm
I made the first move .
We did not have sex, we did not fuck, but we made love.
It was one of the most beautiful encounter I’ve ever had.
I eased myself in and out of Sylvia, her eyes twinkled with each thrust.
I did not have condoms, and Sylvia did not mind.
9.45pm
I paused , the questioning look in my eyes and Sylvia nodded, reassuring me that it’s alright to do it. Our lips met and I trembled and filled Sylvia’s love hole with my essence. Squirting myself deep into her recess.
10.30pm
I slowly broke free from our cuddling and I went to retrieve my bag.
James : I have something for you.
I brought out a simple bracelet and presented it to Sylvia.
Sylvia : I love it James… thank you ..
11.00pm
I had to call Gillian and tell her I’ll be a little late as I’m paying mahjong with my dad and my uncles.
11.05pm
James : Sylvia, I have something else for you.
I retrieved the gold items Joe gave me and I passed them over to Sylvia.
Sylvia : Oh my god… how did you ?
James : I.. ermm.. made a bit of money from the stock market… and I bought the pawn tickets from Joe..
Sylvia : I can’t accept this James.. I’m …
I gave Sylvia a kiss and just smiled at her.
James : It’s ok Sylvia…. Take it.
She hugged me and I could tell she was about to cry but she recovered.
Sylvia : It’s funny what I’m feeling right now James.. haha, i don’t know what to say.
James : I’m sorry if this reminded you of Joe….
She kissed me again and replied.
Sylvia : No it does not…. It’ll only remind me of you..
We cuddled up a little longer in bed and Sylvia snuggled tightly against me.
I made no mention of the cash in RM that Joe passed to me.
11.55pm
James : It’s coming to 12..
Sylvia : Haha.. carriage changing back to pumpkin ..
We both laughed.
12 Midnight.
We parted reluctantly from each other’s arms and got dressed.
1.00am
I let Sylvia went on ahead to reach home as I hung around the estate.
1.20am
I got back in and Gillian was already fast asleep.
7th January 2011
I got married on the 1st week of the new year to Gillian and she moved over to my parents place while waiting for the completion of our new flat.
Feb 2011
Sylvia moved back with her parents and rented out her place at Simei.
March 2011
Sylvia and I kept our distance away from each other as agreed. We are still close , we hung out together but we did not cross the line again except some harmless flirting.
There were moments when I felt we were about to cross the line but one of us always managed to slap some sense into each other.
I kept the occasional contact with Joe until I lost touch when his numbers was changed. The last time I saw him was on the October of 2011
I’ve only heard about the occasional rumor from Gillian that Sylvia had quite a few suitors but nothing concrete was happening.
I tried to dig when I had the time alone with Sylvia but she just brushed me off.
Sylvia : My heart is with you la James… haha.
What prompted me to start writing about this was something that happened on 15th March of 2013.
Barely a couple of months ago.
15th March 2013
Friday
11am
I was in the middle of a work trip in Taiwan when my phone rang.
Gillian : Dear, Your’re reaching Singapore tomorrow in the morning right ?
James : Yup what’s up ?
Gillian : what time ?
James : I think around 6am or so I think.
Gillian : Daddy asking us out for breakfast at Red star.
James : You’re kidding.
She went on to say that if I can’t make it it’s fine.
James : I’ll try to be there on time.
16th March 2013
Saturday
5.40am
My flight landed and I immediately took a cab to Chinatown.
6.25am
I tucked my luggage by the staircase and I sat down to catch a snooze after dropping Gillian an sms.
6.30am
I saw this guy arrived at the staircase and he was loitering around rather suspiciouosly, he kept checking his top, brushing his hair.
He seemed like a nice guy, a little young but overall I got a rather good vibe about him.
6.50am
The rest of the family arrived with Gillian taking her time to exit the car with her swollen belly.
I wanted to burst out laughing as the guy rushed towards my FIL even before he locked the car.
The introductions were made and I exchanged some pleasantries with that guy who was introduced to me as Wayne.
I gave Sylvia a look and she stuck her tongue out at me.
Chatting over tea and breakfast, I found out that Wayne was a year younger than me.
When we had a moment alone, I asked Wayne ;
James : Bro, how ? Worse than interview right ? haha
Wayne : Eh ok la, quite stressful and weird eh. Haha.
James : don’t worry, it’ll pass.
When I had a moment alone with Sylvia later in that day over at my in laws place, I asked Sylvia .
James : Tell me the story Sylvia ..
Sylvia : Haha.. no way.. and stay away from him James.. don’t corrupt him..
May 2013
1 week before I pen down this thread.
Wayne and I were having coffee while the girls were having their nails done.
James : Wayne ar , ask you something…
Wayne : Yeah ?
James : How is Sylvia …. Ermm.. how should I put it… when you all are intimate ?
He seemed a little shock at that question and instinctively he looked around, checking for the girls.
Wayne: You meant what ? Like sex ?
I laughed
James : What else ?
I saw Wayne stole a look at Gillian and commented that the sisters looked kinda alike at certain angles.
I drained my coffee and replied.
James : Well,… we have a lot of talk about…
The end
Thank you for reading.
I hope you enjoyed the thread.
Yes it’s a work of fiction, but the characters were inspired by someone close to me.
Pictures wise, i really bought a hardisk from a gambler. haha.
Appreciate the comments guys, Happy friday.

I wanted to plug this song into the story initially, especially the part when James was out with Sylvia but gave up in the end.
Thank you for the kind words.
Good to know you guys enjoyed it.
There are a lot of good writers in the forum, just that everybody’s style and way of expression is a little different.
Will be staying on the sidelines for a bit of R & D .
Hope i can gather enough sick thoughts soon for another piece.
