So I guess Shirlyn was really just a once off thing.
I don’t know what I triggered in her that caused her to act and react that way, but perhaps all the harmless flirting really wasn’t harmless after all.
But the ending was really confusing. We started off by kissing, something which according to her, was very emotional, and we decided not to kiss anymore. And yet when she left the car on Thursday, she kissed me. Somehow I could feel the emotions in that kiss. Had she fallen for me already? Or was she just another one who wanted sex, then realised that maybe she couldn’t handle everything else that came with it. Work on alternate Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays was definitely going to be pretty awkward from now on.
In any case, instead of moping around the house on Saturday, I decided to do a little project since I had received AWS. I headed to Sim Lim Square and bought some computer parts, intending to build my own desktop PC. At least it would be something to take my mind off things, and practice something which I did a very long time ago.
It took way longer than expected, and I had to refer to YouTube during the process, but at least now I didn’t have to use the shitty office laptop to WFH, and probably could start playing some games.
Oddly enough, Felicia asked if I wanted to have an early dinner with her. Dinner only, not sex, she was pretty clear on that.
I headed to her place to pick her up, and she told me to drive to the coffeeshop opposite Jasmine’s place.
Me: Why there? Are you planning something?
F: What the fuck? No?
Me: Then why go there?
F: There’s this Korean sandwich stall. I read some good reviews about it.
Me: You dragged me out here on a Saturday to eat bread?
F: Why? You had something better to do?
Me: I just built a new computer. Could be playing games.
F: You can build computers?
Me: Why not? It’s like Lego. Just put the parts together.
F: Sure or not. Sounds so easy.
Me: I needed something to distract myself la.
F: Oh? What happened?
I gave her the condensed version of what happened between Shirlyn and me over the short drive to the coffeeshop.
She rolled her eyes at me.
F: You’re a sex addict.
Me: No?
F: Then why are you sleeping with every single girl who wants to sleep with you?
Me: I don’t know.
F: It took me so long to convince you to be FWB again then all it took was one kiss from your manager and you had sex for 2 days. Were you that horny?
Me: I don’t know la.
We drove past the coffeeshop.
Me: Eh. Why is it so crowded?
F: Good business?
There was a long snaking queue that stretched all the way outside the coffeeshop.
Me: It’s like those Toto queues.
F: Whatever la. Go and park.
Me: Why are you pissed at me?
F: Why? Because you didn’t say you were going to fuck others.
Me: Are you fucking others?
F: Errr… not at the moment…
Me: Means you would.
F: Ok fine. We aren’t exclusive. But what the hell. I know I’m not as attractive as I used to be but give me some face la!
Me: It’s over liao.
F: I don’t think so. Based on how she left the car.
Me: It’s over la.
F: Then you better stand up for yourself and say no when you should.
Me: Right.
F: Stop being so nice and accommodating.
Me: Am I?
F: You don’t feel taken advantage of? Even by me?
Me: Not really.
F: There’s the problem.
I drove up the MSCP trying to find white lots and finally found one on the 5th floor.
I parked and killed the engine.
F: Start the car. Backseat now.
Me: Huh?
F: I want to ride you.
Me: Why?
F: Why cannot?
Me: No.
F: See! It’s so easy to say no.
She leaned over and kissed my cheek.
F: Now let’s go get some Korean sandwiches.
We took the lift down and headed towards the coffeeshop.
As expected, the absurdly long queue was for the Korean sandwiches. Felicia had me join the queue while she headed up the front to check out the menu. She came back shortly after.
F: Eh. Alicia is in front.
Me: What?
Sure enough, I looked around the queue and saw Alicia 2nd in line.
F: Come. She says she’ll help us order.
Felicia dragged me unwillingly to the front.
A: Hello! How have you been?
Me: Still alive. And you?
A: Do I look dead to you?
F: Ignore him. He’s just… conflicted.
A: Why? Must be another girl.
F: Long story. And I don’t know the whole story.
Alicia turned to me.
A: Share leh.
I wanted to protest and thankfully it was her turn to order, so Felicia happily added on her own.
There weren’t any seats so they ordered takeaway.
A: It’s going to be about 30-45 mins wait.
F: Ah. So long.
A: You guys wanna hang around first?
Me: Don’t have a choice right?
A: Come over to eat later.
Me: What?
A: Don’t you want to see Jasmine?
Me: Have you forgotten she blocked me? And you told me not to waste my time.
A: And so?
F: Go la. I haven’t seen Jasmine in a long time either.
Me: Since when were you close?
F: We’re not. I just want to see how you react when you see her.
Me: What the fuck?
A: It’s a simple yes or no.
Me: How do you know she wants to see me?
A: I’ve been living with her for nearly 6 months.
Me: You told me not to waste my time…
A: I did. But you love to waste your time anyway. Look at you and mom. From the time I was in secondary school until I entered uni, you still came back. Normal guys would have moved on.
F: I’m sure we all want to hear your latest story in full.
A: Ya! I also want to hear.
Me: What about Jasmine?
A: I think she’ll be interested to find out how you moved on so quickly.
Me: Er…
A: Ok. Dinner and drinks at our place!
We went to the corner to wait for our orders. I pulled Felicia aside.
Me: Are you sure this is such a good idea?
F: It’s Saturday night. Would you rather go home and play computer games by yourself, or meet with 3 girls you had sex with?
Me: What if Jasmine doesn’t want to see me?
F: Then it’s going to be an awkward night for you. And a pretty fun one for me and Alicia.
Half an hour seemed more like an hour when we finally collected the food. I didn’t even know what Felicia and Alicia had ordered but judging by the number of bags, it seemed like each person had 2 dishes.
We headed back to the car and drove over to Jasmine’s place. The guard saw Alicia in the car and practically waved us in.
Coming back here after a couple of months it kind of felt foreign to me. It had only been 3 months or so since I was blocked.
The ride up the lift was in silence. I didn’t know what to say or do.
Alicia unlocked the door.
A: Jas! Look who I found at the coffeeshop!
F: Hello! Long time no see!
Jasmine was on the sofa, she glanced over, saw me, got up, and walked towards her room. It felt like she slammed the door. But I could have been overreacting.
A: Hmm…
They placed the food on the dining table.
I stayed by the door.
A: Aren’t you coming in?
Me: Should I?
F: You want to eat outside?
Me: She saw me and immediately went to her room.
A: Come in la! Idiot.
Jasmine’s door opened and she came out.
J: Sorry I wasn’t wearing a bra just now. Or shorts.
A: Does it matter?
Jasmine glared at her.
A: Come eat! We bought one of almost everything!
Jasmine came up and stood next to me. I could smell her shampoo. I didn’t know what to do.
Suddenly she gave me a hug, squeezing me tightly with her manly arms, while burying her face in my chest.
J: I missed you.
I wanted to hug her back, but I just stood there like a wooden block. I thought about what Felicia said earlier, about needing to stand up for myself. I opened my mouth but the words wouldn’t come out.
A: Hello. You got a lot of time to catch up later. Can we eat first? I’m starving.
Jasmine reluctantly let me go and we sat around the dining table.
Alicia had brought out Soju and Yakult again.
A: Korean food must have Korean drinks!
It probably wasn’t the best situation to be drinking. Jasmine and I needed to talk, but I guess we could go with the flow.
I had some braised beef rice bowl. Apparently the did sell other things besides sandwiches.
Dinner was spent in relative silence, only Alicia and Felicia were talking. Surprisingly, we finished 4 bottles of Soju and countless yakults.
Jasmine went straight to the balcony after dinner. It appeared that she went back to cigarettes. I decided to join her while Alicia and Felicia cleared the table.
Me: How have you been?
J: Ok. And you?
Me: Ok too.
J: Why didn’t you hug me back?
Me: I don’t know. Why didn’t you unblock me?
J: I don’t know.
Me: This is really awkward.
J: Agreed.
We heard laughter from the kitchen, Felicia must have told Alicia a joke. Or perhaps something about me and Shirlyn.
J: How’s work?
Me: It’s fine. And you?
J: Happily enjoying my break. Which will be over soon.
Me: Oh? You found a job?
J: Actually… I applied to be reinstated for my old job.
Me: You?
J: Yeah. I saw they still had the job ad up, so I texted Shirlyn. Met her on Thursday to finalize the contract as she was in the office. Didn’t see you there though, figured it was the split team thing.
Me: Oh.
It was now starting to make sense. Perhaps Shirlyn really was too busy during the first week of work to engage me, and last Thursday, she knew she had to break it off with me since Jasmine was coming back. But that kiss before she left really complicated things.
J: I start after CNY. Haven’t got my schedule yet though. Not sure which week I’ll be in office and which week working from home.
Me: Ah. Ok.
J: That bitch Rebecca tried her best to block my return though.
Me: Oh?
J: Lucky Shirlyn asked her that since they couldn’t find a replacement, would she like to take over my job? Instantly shut her up.
Me: I see…
J: I mean I’m sure you could take some of the tasks anyway.
I wondered why Shirlyn was so eager to get Jasmine back. Was it because she would feel less guilty about what had happened if Jasmine came back to me?
Me: Were you going to tell me eventually? And unblock me?
J: Well… I wanted it to be a surprise.
Me: A surprise? You left me hanging for so long…
J: I’m sorry.
Just then Alicia and Felicia entered the living room and sat on the sofa.
A: Jas! You won’t believe what happened over New Year!
Oh shit. I hoped it wasn’t about me.
J: What?
A: Felicia told me Mark slept with another one of his colleagues!
Damn.
I looked over the balcony, wondering if I would survive the fall if I jumped off.
J: He what?
I edged closer to the railing.
Jasmine glared at me. I couldn’t tell if it was anger or disappointment in her eyes. If it was anger maybe I didn’t have to jump, she would push me over.
F: Yeah! Come in and let’s have more drinks! And we can listen to the story!
Jasmine grabbed my wrist and looked me in the eye.
J: How could you? I thought you were waiting for me?
Me: I-
I stepped backwards, my back against the railing.
She continued glaring at me.
Sometimes I wish I would keep my dick in my pants and my mouth shut when I needed to.
Half an hour seemed more like an hour when we finally collected the food. I didn’t even know what Felicia and Alicia had ordered but judging by the number of bags, it seemed like each person had 2 dishes.

Me: I-
I stepped backwards, my back against the railing.
She continued glaring at me.
Sometimes I wish I would keep my dick in my pants and my mouth shut when I needed to.
I stood there against the balcony railing with her glaring at me. It felt like an eternity.
Then she pulled me in and shoved me onto the sofa, perhaps a little too hard and I landed on Alicia.
A: Oi!
J: Oops.
Felicia just laughed.
J: Please tell me it was Rebecca and you fucked hard.
I sat next at the side nearer to the balcony with Alicia in the middle while Felicia was at the other side. Jasmine came over and squeezed onto the sofa arm at my side, eventually ending up half on my lap.
F: Wah. So fast make up already?
Jasmine wrapped her arms around me.
J: So was it Rebecca? Did you wipe the smile off her face?
Me: No…
J: Oh god. Don’t tell me it was Helen.
Me: Definitely not.
J: Cheryl? I hope not. I think she suffered enough.
Me: Cheryl was seen going to a hotel 81 with Ken.
J: Huh??? How in the world did that happen?
Me: You gotta ask Rebecca. She’s the one who told us.
J: That leaves, either Joan or Shirlyn.
Joan was the other marketing exec who had her workload increased when Jasmine suddenly resigned.
Me: I rarely work with Joan.
J: So it’s Shirlyn. Ok. Understandable.
Me: How is it understandable?
J: I mean, she’s single, not bad looking, damn nice tits… if I was a guy I wouldn’t mind.
Me: You’re not jealous? Angry?
J: Should I be?
Me: I don’t know.
J: You’re not my boyfriend.
Me: But you wanted me to wait?
J: I did. I still do. But if you saw someone else in between, who am I to say no?
F: Yeah. We’ve been fucking these few months.
J: Oh.
I was feeling really uncomfortable at that moment.
A: I guess you’re over mom then?
Me: I guess so. Has she even come back yet?
A: Now and then? I don’t know. I live here now.
Me: You two still sleeping on the same bed?
J: Nah. We cleared the spare room. That’s Alicia’s room now.
A: Yeah. She got tired of me molesting her in my sleep.
J: You kept turning me on.
A: I’m not the one who will randomly call out Mark’s name when I’m asleep. Oops.
Me: Erm.
J: I said I missed you right?
Me: Well…
J: Wait… if you slept with Shirlyn… and I’m going back to work… wow. That’s complicated.
Me: She broke it off on Thursday.
J: Thursday? That was the day I was there. You were there?
Me: No, I met her after work.
J: Oh… she looked fine to me leh. Like normal. You didn’t pleasure her enough? Is that why she broke it off?
Me: Right. I don’t know. We only spent Friday and Saturday together.
J: I hope she doesn’t regret it.
Me: Regret what? Sleeping with me?
J: Hiring me back la. We may or may not get together. She doesn’t seem like the one night stand kind of girl. Oh. That probably means she’s hurting right now.
A: You shouldn’t have done it. Was it so hard to keep your dick in your pants?
Me: Actually, she kind of initiated it.
A: Let me guess, and you just let her? So predictable.
F: Anyone notice a pattern of behaviour here?
J: Yup. It’s so easy to get him into bed.
Me: Are we here to bitch about me or drink and catch up?
J: Ooooo. Someone’s getting angsty.
I tried to push her off me but she had an iron grip on me. She leaned closed and whispered into my ear.
J: The last time I had sex was with you.
I stiffened a little bit. I guess the other two heard what she said.
A: Ditto.
F: Same here.
Me: I’m not here for sex. I just wanted to see you again.
J: That’s so sweet.
A: Should we toast to this reunion?
I glanced at the coffee table. It appeared that more soju and Yakult had appeared.
Me: I need to drive back later.
A: I’m sure Jas won’t mind you staying over.
J: I don’t.
F: Eh. Don’t be a pussy and just drink? This is a happy occasion.
We all took a shot glass.
J: To new beginnings?
All: Cheers!
I stood there against the balcony railing with her glaring at me. It felt like an eternity.
Then she pulled me in and shoved me onto the sofa, perhaps a little too hard and I landed on Alicia.

We all took a shot glass.
J: To new beginnings?
All: Cheers!
I lost track of how many sojus we had finished but I was starting to feel really hot and slightly dizzy.
Alicia and Felicia were still happily chatting away about numerous random topics, with the occasional jibe at me. Jasmine was still half-sitting on my lap, arm still around my shoulder.
Somehow despite the months of absence, I felt really happy just being close to her again. There were times where someone said something funny and she would laugh, and nuzzle my neck. It wasn’t sexual or anything, and I could somehow feel that she was happy too.
I needed to pee so I tried to get up but she clung on to me like a sloth, forcing me to muster all my strength to carry her in a cradle. That caused the two drunk/high girls to burst out laughing.
A: It’s like the groom bringing his bride to consummate their marriage!
I wondered when her neighbours would start filing noise complaints as it was pretty late, past 10pm.
Me: You want me to put you down?
J: No.
She snuggled closer to me.
J: I’m surprised you can actually carry me.
Me: I’m not that weak.
J: Really couldn’t tell.
Me: Well I need to pee.
J: So do I.
Me: Right.
I carried her to the master bedroom before putting her down on the bed, then heading to the common bathroom.
When I was done, I headed back to the living room and sat down at my previous spot.
A: Done already?
F: He’s suffering from premature ejaculation now.
A&F: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Me: Really funny.
Jasmine emerged shortly after but I sensed that something was different. She climbed onto me again.
Me: I hope the sofa doesn’t break.
J: We’ve done more strenuous activities on the sofa.
A&F: EWWWW!
J: It’s leather.
She nestled her head into my neck and shoulder again. I looked down at her and caught sight of her brown nipples through the neckline of her t-shirt. She had removed her bra. I think she noticed me staring and pulled my arm over her, then kissed my neck. I stirred.
A: Woah… we’re still here you know?
J: What? I didn’t do anything.
I felt my dick growing and I was pretty sure she felt it too as her thigh was pressed against my crotch.
A: Let’s go to my room, we can continue drinking there.
Alicia took Felicia by the hand and practically pulled her to the guest room, leaving me and Jasmine alone in the living room.
J: Are you sick? You feel really hot.
She touched my forehead and neck with the back of her hand.
Me: It’s the alcohol.
J: Yeah we drank a lot. Maybe too much.
She dug around for the Aircon remote and turned it on, while turning off the ceiling fan and the light.
Me: Erm. Why did you off the lights?
J: Too bright, I’m getting a headache.
Me: Do you want to go lie down instead?
J: Are you inviting me to get into bed with you now?
Me: Yeah?
J: I just want to lie here in your arms for a bit longer.
Me: Ok. Can I lie down then?
J: Sure.
I stretched out along the sofa and she lay on my chest again. I could feel her breasts through the thin material of the t-shirt. I didn’t really know what to do with my hands so I just wrapped them around her back, resting on her hip. I subconsciously started stroking her butt.
J: I’m not wearing panties either.
I stirred again. She was right, I couldn’t feel any lines.
Me: Why?
J: Didn’t feel like it.
Me: Right.
This must be a test to see how horny I was having not been with her for so long.
I stroked her hair while hugging her tightly.
J: Did you enjoy it with Shirlyn?
Me: What?
J: Sex.
Me: Why do you suddenly want to know?
J: Was it special?
Me: It was normal. Just two people pleasuring each other I guess.
J: Did you want to continue?
Me: I honestly don’t know what happened or why it happened that day. To be fair I think she doesn’t know either.
J: She’s not an innocent little girl. But I believe her character is better than Rebecca’s. We all have our needs and urges. I guess there was an opportunity and she took it.
Me: How does it make you feel?
J: It doesn’t bother me. You did it when we weren’t together. If we were together it would be a different story.
Me: Are we together?
J: No. Not yet.
Me: Then what is this?
J: This is me lying on you.
Me: While not wearing your bra or panties?
J: You aren’t molesting me.
Me: I’m trying very hard not to.
J: Can you wait until the divorce is finalized?
Me: Yes. How long will it take?
J: Probably another 2-3 months.
Me: What about the house?
J: I’m trying to get it transferred to me.
Me: Can it be done?
J: I can buy his share or get him to transfer his share, shouldn’t be a problem, but there are some other conditions that need to be fulfilled.
Me: Like?
J: I need a new husband.
Me: Oh.
J: You interested?
Me: Well…
J: I’m kidding.
Me: Are you sure you want me as a husband?
J: It’s really too early to tell. We haven’t been in a proper relationship yet.
Me: So how are you settling the house?
J: Probably with parents? Or parent. Their house is only under my dad’s name, so technically, my mom doesn’t own any private property.
Me: Sounds complicated.
J: The lawyer is working on it. Would be a lot easier if we already hit MOP.
Me: When is that?
J: Next year.
Me: I see.
J: Or we could get married…
Me: You sure about that?
J: The only thing I’m sure of right now is that I want this house. And I got a good lawyer. Funny story actually.
Me: Which is?
J: Lawyer was recommended by Ann.
Me: Right. Alicia asked her?
J: Nope. I did.
Me: Huh? You’re in contact with Ann?
J: Not really. But she did reply me. So here we are.
Me: I see.
J: You haven’t really sorted things out with her properly I guess.
Me: It’s hard when she isn’t around to talk face-to-face.
J: Maybe you should settle her before marrying me. If we get married.
Me: Yeah.
J: Ok. Now I want to sleep.
Me: Here?
J: Yup? Any problem?
Me: Your bed is bigger.
J: I’m pretty sure if we go to the bed, we’ll end up having sex.
Me: What if I say no?
J: Then I’ll probably just make you hard and use you.
Me: Ok. I guess we’ll stay out here.
J: Good night!
Me: Good night.
I closed my eyes and tried to get some rest but it was pretty tough with her on me.
Based on what she said, it really seemed like all I was to women was just a tool to be used, her included. But I really couldn’t deny the feelings I think I have for her, and the feelings that I think she has for me.
I guess time would tell.
I wonder how awkward Monday was going to be back in the office.
I lost track of how many sojus we had finished but I was starting to feel really hot and slightly dizzy.
Alicia and Felicia were still happily chatting away about numerous random topics, with the occasional jibe at me. Jasmine was still half-sitting on my lap, arm still around my shoulder.
Somehow despite the months of absence, I felt really happy just being close to her again. There were times where someone said something funny and she would laugh, and nuzzle my neck. It wasn’t sexual or anything, and I could somehow feel that she was happy too.
I needed to pee so I tried to get up but she clung on to me like a sloth, forcing me to muster all my strength to carry her in a cradle. That caused the two drunk/high girls to burst out laughing.
A: It’s like the groom bringing his bride to consummate their marriage!
I wondered when her neighbours would start filing noise complaints as it was pretty late, past 10pm.
Me: You want me to put you down?
J: No.
She snuggled closer to me.
J: I’m surprised you can actually carry me.
Me: I’m not that weak.
J: Really couldn’t tell.
Me: Well I need to pee.
J: So do I.
Me: Right.
I carried her to the master bedroom before putting her down on the bed, then heading to the common bathroom.
When I was done, I headed back to the living room and sat down at my previous spot.
A: Done already?
F: He’s suffering from premature ejaculation now.
A&F: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Me: Really funny.
Jasmine emerged shortly after but I sensed that something was different. She climbed onto me again.
Me: I hope the sofa doesn’t break.
J: We’ve done more strenuous activities on the sofa.
A&F: EWWWW!
J: It’s leather.
She nestled her head into my neck and shoulder again. I looked down at her and caught sight of her brown nipples through the neckline of her t-shirt. She had removed her bra. I think she noticed me staring and pulled my arm over her, then kissed my neck. I stirred.
A: Woah… we’re still here you know?
J: What? I didn’t do anything.
I felt my dick growing and I was pretty sure she felt it too as her thigh was pressed against my crotch.
A: Let’s go to my room, we can continue drinking there.
Alicia took Felicia by the hand and practically pulled her to the guest room, leaving me and Jasmine alone in the living room.
J: Are you sick? You feel really hot.
She touched my forehead and neck with the back of her hand.
Me: It’s the alcohol.
J: Yeah we drank a lot. Maybe too much.
She dug around for the Aircon remote and turned it on, while turning off the ceiling fan and the light.
Me: Erm. Why did you off the lights?
J: Too bright, I’m getting a headache.
Me: Do you want to go lie down instead?
J: Are you inviting me to get into bed with you now?
Me: Yeah?
J: I just want to lie here in your arms for a bit longer.
Me: Ok. Can I lie down then?
J: Sure.
I stretched out along the sofa and she lay on my chest again. I could feel her breasts through the thin material of the t-shirt. I didn’t really know what to do with my hands so I just wrapped them around her back, resting on her hip. I subconsciously started stroking her butt.
J: I’m not wearing panties either.
I stirred again. She was right, I couldn’t feel any lines.
Me: Why?
J: Didn’t feel like it.
Me: Right.
This must be a test to see how horny I was having not been with her for so long.
I stroked her hair while hugging her tightly.
J: Did you enjoy it with Shirlyn?
Me: What?
J: Sex.
Me: Why do you suddenly want to know?
J: Was it special?
Me: It was normal. Just two people pleasuring each other I guess.
J: Did you want to continue?
Me: I honestly don’t know what happened or why it happened that day. To be fair I think she doesn’t know either.
J: She’s not an innocent little girl. But I believe her character is better than Rebecca’s. We all have our needs and urges. I guess there was an opportunity and she took it.
Me: How does it make you feel?
J: It doesn’t bother me. You did it when we weren’t together. If we were together it would be a different story.
Me: Are we together?
J: No. Not yet.
Me: Then what is this?
J: This is me lying on you.
Me: While not wearing your bra or panties?
J: You aren’t molesting me.
Me: I’m trying very hard not to.
J: Can you wait until the divorce is finalized?
Me: Yes. How long will it take?
J: Probably another 2-3 months.
Me: What about the house?
J: I’m trying to get it transferred to me.
Me: Can it be done?
J: I can buy his share or get him to transfer his share, shouldn’t be a problem, but there are some other conditions that need to be fulfilled.
Me: Like?
J: I need a new husband.
Me: Oh.
J: You interested?
Me: Well…
J: I’m kidding.
Me: Are you sure you want me as a husband?
J: It’s really too early to tell. We haven’t been in a proper relationship yet.
Me: So how are you settling the house?
J: Probably with parents? Or parent. Their house is only under my dad’s name, so technically, my mom doesn’t own any private property.

I guess time would tell.
I wonder how awkward Monday was going to be back in the office.
I awoke probably just after 12 as I was freezing.
Jasmine was sound asleep but I somehow managed to carry her back to the master bedroom and tuck her into bed. I guess she was really out of it and barely moved, much less woke up. I brushed her hair off her forehead and kissed her before leaving the room.
I shut the door and knocked on the guest room door. Alicia and Felicia were still giggling away at whatever private jokes they were making. Guess they didn’t hear me so I opened the door.
Me: Woah! What the fuck?
The two of them were semi-naked and making out on the bed.
F: Wah lau. Don’t you knock?
They got dressed.
Me: So… you’re bi now?
F: Curious I guess.
A: Why do you wanna know?
Felicia grabbed Alicia’s breasts over her t-shirt.
F: Does it turn you on?
Alicia moaned.
Me: Slightly I guess.
A: Alcohol helps. A lot.
Me: Well I’m sober now.
F: Didn’t you two…
Me: No. We just took a nap. I just put her to bed.
A: Didn’t she want it? She kept talking about how she’d be all over you when you got back together. Assuming you got back together.
Me: Well we didn’t. I don’t want to complicate things further for now.
F: I’m impressed. You learnt how to say no.
A: He actually does know how to say no. Just that he rarely does it.
F: Anyway… I think I’ll be spending the night here.
Me: Have fun. I’ll be sleeping on the sofa.
A: You know she wouldn’t mind if you joined her in bed.
Me: It’s fine. Really. Please carry on.
I left the room and shut the door, returning to the living room and turning off the Aircon, switching to the fan instead. I headed to the balcony for a smoke. For a Saturday night/early Sunday morning, the estate was not as quiet as it should be. I could hear mahjong tiles being washed, the odd parent screaming at their kid and the kid screaming back, and strangely the sound of crickets despite being so high up. I finished my cigarette and went back to nap on the sofa.
I woke again around 7 as the room became brighter. I probably should have drawn the curtains.
I headed to the master bedroom and saw Jasmine still tucked in. She seemed to have a smile on her face. I decided not to wake her.
I did not disturb Alicia or Felicia as I assumed they were fast asleep after their night of fun.
Instead, I quietly left the house and headed home.
The next day at work, after the morning meeting, Shirlyn called me to her office.
S: Shut the door.
I did.
S: Sit.
I did.
S: This will be my last session with you. Future sessions will be with Rebecca.
Me: Ok.
S: As you know, the company hasn’t had a general manager for awhile, even before you joined.
Me: I see.
S: I’ll be taking on co-GM duties with Helen. As you already know, you’ve been promoted to Senior Exec. Rebecca will now be the probationary HR manager.
Me: For real?
S: Yes. We’ve placed an ad for another Ops/HR exec, and hope to hire by CNY at least.
Me: I see.
S: So that’s why Rebecca will be taking over the sessions.
Me: Ok.
S: And, Jasmine will be coming back after CNY.
Me: I know.
S: You do?
Me: Kind of bumped into her over the weekend.
I don’t know why but I felt that Shirlyn looked a little sad.
S: Ok. Then I’ll just skip to the session. Do you have anything to say before we begin?
I wondered if I should ask about what happened on Thursday before she left the car.
Me: Yeah. I was wondering-
S: I like you ok? I don’t know why or how it happened. Maybe you were too nice and accommodating to me. Maybe you didn’t treat me like a piece of meat during sex. Maybe I let myself become too emotional when I kissed you.
Me: Err…
S: But the fact of the matter is, I’m your superior. You report to me. We should not have a relationship that may compromise our professionalism.
Me: Don’t I report to Rebecca now? And who do I report to for Ops?
S: Oh yeah. You got a point there. You’ll still report to me and Helen, and Rebecca as well.
Me: Ok.
S: And please forget what happened on New Year’s. It won’t happen again.
Me: One last question.
S: What is it?
Me: Why did you kiss me in the car?
S: I…
Me: Yeah?
S: I wanted to see if it would trigger anything in me.
Me: Did it?
S: Just a pain in my chest.
Me: Huh?
S: Just ignore me. It’s hard to explain. But you probably know how one-way relationships go.
Me: I guess so?
S: Besides Jasmine is coming back. I’m guessing you have feelings for her. Probably she has feelings for you too. So before I do anything stupid, let’s just forget everything that ever happened and go back to what we were before. Ok?
Me: Ok.
The session continued as usual.
To be honest I didn’t know why we had to continue. I had admitted to her in private that I did have an affair with Jasmine. But that didn’t affect my work. What happened between us was a private issue which really shouldn’t require the need for counselling. Furthermore, future sessions would be with Rebecca. I was obviously not looking forward to it, given her character and attitude. But I was only an employee, and now she was going to be a manager too.
All I could hope for was perhaps a new scandal happening so that Rebecca would get off my case.
Tuesday began normally.
A morning meeting over zoom where whoever was WFH joined in to give updates on whatever tasks they had to do.
It was a rather weird day for me as I was the only one from my department in the office, as both Shirlyn and Rebecca were both WFH, and Helen somehow had an external meeting. Only me, Joan and Cheryl were physically in the office.
After the meeting I went for a smoke, somehow, both Joan and Cheryl came out to join me. I didn’t know that either smoked. Besides, we rarely had any conversations prior other than the usual Hi and Bye. Joan lit a stick. Cheryl just stood nearby second-hand smoking.
J: Hi Mark.
Me: Hello.
C: You must be happy.
Me: Huh?
J: Jasmine is coming back. You can finally be together.
Damn that Rebecca. Her mouth was really too big.
Me: Huh?
C: Don’t need to hide la. Rebecca told us you are her lover and caused her divorce.
Me: Erm. That’s not true.
J: Rebecca is HR leh. She will lie one meh?
Me: I’m just her friend. Really.
C: Sure or not?
I wondered the extent I should lie about it. But I had to do something.
Me: Rebecca also told us she saw you going into a hotel 81 with Ken.
C: Huh???
Me: Do you seriously think you can believe anything she says?
Cheryl suddenly became very uncomfortable.
C: Ya. Ok. You got a point.
J: Aiyah. I thought got some new gossip liao.
Me: It’s not very nice to gossip about co-workers ok? And Joan, she’s your marketing colleague, you feel good listening to the rumours and even spreading them?
J: Ok la. You are right I guess.
Me: Next Rebecca will say something like I slept with every girl in the office too! Like the guy before me.
I could see Cheryl blushing.
J: Wah. That one you also know ah.
Me: I listen to the rumours and gossip, but I don’t go around spreading them.
J: But that one was real leh.
Me: Oh?
C: Joan. Shut up.
I decided to be a hypocrite. Perhaps it would help to divert some attention away from me.
Me: So that was real ah.
J: Ok la. I’ll admit it wasn’t the smartest thing I did. But he was really good in bed.
Cheryl stalked off and Joan lit another stick.
J: So you didn’t sleep with Jasmine?
Me: Do you sleep with friends?
I used the classic technique of answering a question with another question.
J: No… that would be weird.
Me: Precisely.
J: Means you’re damn boring then.
Perhaps it was time to drag Rebecca’s name through the mud.
Me: Rebecca seemed to be interested in me. But I cannot.
J: Aiyah. That bitch is interested in anything with a dick.
Me: I kind of realised.
J: Oh well. At least Jasmine is coming back. I won’t have to do all the work.
Me: Hello. I was doing some of that work with her too ok? And continued doing after she left.
J: Ya la. You good la. Everything also do.
Time to switch topic.
Me: Of course la! I was in the army for so long, this is my first real job, if I don’t do, then I get a bad appraisal, then how?
J: Huh? I thought you quite rich one. Last time drive sports car all that.
Me: Oh. That wasn’t my car. It was borrowed.
J: Chey. Act rich only.
Me: No la. Car more convenient mah. So ask my friend if can borrow lor.
J: Whatever la.
Me: Anyway I’m going to the hawker, you want coffee?
J: Teh C. Get one for Cheryl also.
Me: Ok.
J: I think I made her upset.
Me: Why leh?
J: You don’t know meh? That guy before you. He took her virginity.
Me: Yeah I heard that, but like I said, I don’t engage in the gossip.
J: Get the curry puff also. I’ll pay.
Me: From level 1?
J: Ya. Just buy a whole box.
Me: Ok.
J: Sorry I said anything about Jasmine.
Me: It’s ok. Just don’t repeat it when she’s back. I don’t think she’ll like it.
J: Yeah sure.
I stubbed out my stick and headed to the hawker centre.
Seemed like I managed to avert a mini crisis.
I returned shortly with the drinks and snacks. I passed Joan her tea and headed over to the finance room to find Cheryl.
Me: Hey.
She turned to look at me. Her eyes were red and a little puffy.
C: Yes?
Me: Teh and curry puff.
C: Please don’t tell anyone about me or Ken.
Me: Erm. It’s just gossip. You don’t have to confirm it.
C: He’s married.
Me: I know.
C: I don’t know why I did it.
Me: Sometimes we all do things we cannot explain. Things we aren’t proud of.
C: I can’t stop.
Me: Can’t stop seeing him?
C: We spent so much time together at work. And after that incident, he was always there for me to comfort me.
Me: Let’s just not talk about it ok? What happens in your private time is none of anyone’s business.
C: Thank you for understanding.
Me: No problem. Now eat the curry puffs before they’re cold. I’m going back to my office.
C: Thank you.
