Fifteen

It is important to know what Selene needed the most that day.

And it is important that she knew I was feeding her ‘needs’ and not trying to wriggle my way to fufil my ‘wants’ .

Girls , ladies, women, they’re not stupid, most of them are not anyway.

I was sure deep down somewhere in Selene’s heart she knew what I wanted, what every men wanted.

I just needed to tread lightly and make sure I play my card right.

I scrubbed myself clean before drying myself thoroughly for the next part of my sick ritual.

I knew I could not hold back my need for a good orgasm, I needed to release and prime my brain for the rest of the trip.

I sat down naked on my bed and opened the bag of worn clothes from Selene.

I could not describe the feeling in words.

If you ever had the chance and opportunity to do this, you too would be feeling ecstatic and lost. The thought of holding onto a bag of worn clothes belonging to a woman you always wanted to sleep with is good enough to give your mind a mental orgasm.

I could not wait to indulge myself in Selene’s worn sweat stained clothes and underwear but it was not the time yet.

I messed up my bed, making sure everything was in a mess.

I took my toiletries bag and opened a condom wrapper.

I artistically left Selene’s clothes all over the room, dropping her top near the entrance. Then I left her bra barely 1 metre away.

I placed her pants at the foot of the bed.

Then I left the undies on the messed up bed before leaving the empty condom wrapper beside it.

I bunched up a good portion of tissues, threw some over the side table and wrap the condom up, making sure a good portion of it stayed visible.

As I stepped back and appraised the scene, I had a fucking raging erection and I took in the state my room was in.

It was exactly as I imagined in my mind.

I added to the room my worn clothes, but I made the brand was visible and a maroon shirt was thrown to the mix

Then I started taking pictures.

After I’m done with the pictures, I took a video.

A video of a perspective of someone entering the room, taking an overall look before pointing the camera to the clothes on the floor.

After I was satisfied with the video I had, i checked the time and it was about 9.15pm.

I quickly packed up the room and got changed before heading over to Selene’s room.

I had a spare copy of her key card so I just did a brief knock before opening the door.

Selene : Oei… close the door James!

I realised Selene was just wearing the large sleep shirt and nothing else.

She was bent over the bed trying to remove the plastic tags from the lingerie I bought.

Selene : Do you have a scissors ?

I went over and felt an instant hardon as I took over the bra from Selene.

She had a look of horrific embarrassment as she quickly turned away as I brought the bra up to my mouth and used my teeth to bite off the tag before passing it over to her.

Selene : Erm… don’t need la James… ermm.. it’s ok..

James : What ? You going to wear this with the tag ?

I’ve never seen Selene so embarrassed before but I could understand.

Imagine having a colleague you are travelling with biting the tag off your new lingerie purchases, my only wish was to be able to bite them off when she was wearing them.

I did the same for her undies before passing it to her.

She held on to them , turned and for a second did not know where to go before she head back into the bathroom.

I helped her get the rest of the tags off including the pyjama shorts.

I took a sniff and it smelled new and unworn. In that instance I wished I was just that pair of shorts, to be able to plaster myself close and tight to her warm pussy. Perhaps feel the rub of her new undies on my back as well.

I took a seat by the window and waited for Selene to come out.

She emerged a moment later and took the pair of shorts.

She did not go back into the bathroom to slip them on, her top was long enough to cover her modesty.

She tied up the loose bottom of the t-shirt into a knot and grabbed her wallet and phone.

James : Let’s just have a quick dinner and come back and rest.

She nodded.

Inside the lift, she wanted to thanked me but was cut off when another group entered the lift 2 floors below us.

Selene : Erm. James… thanks for everything. I know it must ……

We did not speak again until we got to the ground floor.

I did not know if it was the fresh shower and the cooling evening breeze but Selene started sneezing when we left the hotel.

9.40pm

We had a quick and light dinner opposite the hotel before we went back to the room at around 10pm.

By the time we entered the hotel, her sneezing caused her nose to get a little puffy and runny.

I walked Selene to her room and opened the door for her, I had no intention of returning the spare Keycard. I wanted to have access anytime through the night and she made no attempt to ask me for it.

James : Do you need to wash up again ?

She shook her head and went to the bed.

I boiled some water and told her I’ll be right back before I went over to my room.

I got my flu medicine which I had prepared and went back.

I mixed the boiled water with those from the bottle and passed Selene a cup of lukewarm water.

I started with her medicine and she just sat silently on the bed with her hands around the cup.

I passed her 1 tablet, she did not even ask what was it and just took it with a sip of water.

Still I told her that I’ve got her some flu meds which might make her drowsy but she did not even bat an eyelid and took it anyway.

I checked the time and told her that she needs another dose in the morning and I’ll wake her up.

I dimmed the lights and Selene tucked herself into bed.

James : Will you be ok alone ?

She nodded with watery and sleepy eyes.

James : I’ll come in and check on you later

She did not reply.

I went to wash up the cup, and left the room.

The moment I got back to my room, I stripped myself off and I put Selene’s bra over 1 of the pillow, making it seemed like it was being worn.

I helped the pillow put the soiled undies on too as I imagined Selene was wearing them.

I bent and lowered my head, hovering close to the spot where the pair of lucky undies came in contact with Selene’s love hole.

The essence, the sweat and her lovely nectar adequately caked the piece of fabric.

I could not describe the smell, I could smell a little sweetness, like fresh maple syrup yet that was a comforting smell of stale sweat. Then there was a strong womanly smell that sent more blood to my manhood.

I nudged, licked and kissed that piece of soiled panty, stroking myself faster and faster.

I took Selene’s pants and sniffed every inch, and I plastered my sick perverted face onto her tube top as I increased my intensity of my stroking.

I imagined Selene doing it for me, asking me if I liked her worn clothes.

She would cooed softly beside my ears, asking if I like to smell her worn undies.

James : Yes… yes… I like them..

It was a sudden submissive streak but it turned me on.

I started to have images of Selene sitting on her chair, crossing her legs with her heels dangling at the end. She would stroke my erected dick with her dangling heel, she would demand I suck and stuff her worn sweat stained underwear she had worn for 2 days into my mouth.

I replicated that exact scenario, sucking and stuffing my mouth full of her most private of clothing article.

It was then I realised I must have conjured too sick a scenario and I came , shooting uncontrollably onto her bra cup as I struggled to breath and moan with my panty filled mouth.

I collapsed onto the bed, exhausted yet unwilling to spit out my prized possession.

I must have soak Selene’s panty with my saliva and swallowed the filter bodily fluids 3 times before I recovered.

11.00pm

I took more pictures of the cum stained bra before I had another shower.

I manually washed and cleaned all of Selene’s clothes before hanging them up.

I used a hairdryer and positioned it such that it could dry the clothes and left it alone.

I did some work till 12.30am.

That was when I decided to go check on Selene.

I slipped on my shoes and left my room with the condom wrapper and tissues in my pocket.

12.35am

I was quiet, very quiet. I paused outside her door and slowly inserted the key card.

When I saw the comforting green light, I slowly opened the door and entered the room.

Now previously I had dimmed the lights but I left the one at the entrance on. It was so that I could at least see Selene when I entered.

Although the room lights were dim, it was dark enough for Selene to sleep yet still allowed ample light for me to see her body being turned away from the entrance.

I closed the door as quietly as I could and tiptoed into the room.

I thanked my luck stars when I saw the position Selene was in.

She was turned towards the window and with the curtains drawn, there would be no reflections of me.

To sweeten the deal even more, she had a pillow over her head.

I creep slowly over to the bed and took Selene’s phone.

She left it right by her side and it was sitting precariously behind her, her body causing a slight gradient on the soft bed and it seemed like it was going to slip down the gentle slope.

If she turned onto her back, she might just lie on it.

I unlocked it realised she was texting Aaron before she slept, the usual goodnight, miss you blab la bla, I closed the message and copied Aaron’s phone number.

I got his email and address as well from the contact list.

I scrolled and read through more messages, every once in a while turning my head and keeping an eye on Selene.

After what seemed like 5 minutes, I checked the battery level and realised that it was left with probably 20%.

I turned on a few apps and activated the camera and left it at the original spot, letting the battery drain itself out.

Then very slowly and quietly, I lowered my pants.

My heart was thumping and I could almost feel my ribcage being slammed open.

Once I got my pants off, I started with my boxers.

In a matter of seconds, I was left with a dangling erection and I was shaking with excitement.

I placed the boxers on the bed and positioned myself in such a way that I could take a picture with Selene , my boxers and the tip of my dick in the frame.

I quickly snapped a few shots and got dressed.

I took pictures of everything, you’ll never know when it would come in handy.

I snapped Selene’s tote bag, her laptop, the room, her heels, her flip flops, everything.

Even the new lingerie I bought for her that was still unworn.

I took a picture of my shoes arranged neatly beside Selene’s heels and flip flops.

And I added to my gallery a picture of Selene’s bag with the tissue and exposed condom on the table.

I left her room quietly at around 12.55am

I dropped Beng Soon an email asking for a favour.

I sent him a few pictures, naming the jpegs the name of the shop i bought them at.

A pair of boxers from hush puppies. A work pants of a particular brand, a shirt of a particular make and colour, and a pair of shoes from a local chain.

James email ;

Dear Beng Soon,

Please find attached some articles of clothings.

Can you get them in your size and keep them aside for future use ?

Thanks

9th March 2012

Friday

6am

I woke up at 6am and despite the lack of good quality sleep, I felt energized and ready to hit the road that brand new day.

I checked my mail and saw a reply from Beng Soon at around 5.30am.

Beng Soon email;

Ok Sure. What do I need it for ?

Is this about Cidney ?

BS

I drafted a quick reply before I went to the bathroom.

James Email ;

It’s about repaying me for Cidney…

James.

I showered and changed and got ready to leave the room around 6.30 am after I ironed Selene’s clothes.

I did not have any fancy hangers and bags so I folded them nicely, tucking the lingerie in between her pants and blouse before putting them in a fresh laundry bag

I waited for about a minute for my erection to go down as thoughts of Selene having to change into the clothes I washed and folded for her kept swirling around in my head.

Especially scenes and images of her putting her leg into the opening of the panty that was in my mouth barely a few hours ago. Somehow I felt I could relate to the slow drag of her soft sexy panty up her smooth legs to my running my tongue along it as well.

I knew that day would eventually come if I waited patiently and play my cards right.

I did not knock on Selene’s door but instead opened it with the card I had.

I could tell she was still sleeping seeing her bundled up under her blanket.

I placed her clothes at the dressing table and boiled some water, and prepared her medication.

The commotion and the roar of the kettle in the small room woke her up and she stirred, stretching and making soft squeaks that sent more blood to my manhood.

I was hit with the fresh feeling of a morning cuddle after a good night of sex, waking up to your partner stretching those joints that were vigorously worked the night before.

I saw Selene’s eyes tracking my every move but I ignored them and went about my business.

I finally settled down beside her after I made her a cup of tea and passed her half of the medication.

James : The rest you can take only after breakfast.

She tried to sit up but seemed to have some difficulty and I helped her propped herself up with some pillows.

She brushed her long hair over her head before massaging the ridge of her nose for a few seconds before taking over the medicine.

James : Alright, get changed, we need to grab breakfast then head to the airport.

She nodded obediently and checked her phone but it was dead.

She just left it on the bed before shuffling to the bathroom.

Selene : Did the hotel return the laundry ?

James : They’re on the table.

She went in without her clothes and i switched on the tv and drew the curtains, enjoying the first peeks of the morning sun into the room.

I could see the city coming alive on the streets below and I was looking forward to a cup of strong coffee.

Selene came out of the bathroom dripping wet in her sleep clothes to retrieve those I had washed before heading back in to change again.

7.15 am

We left the room for breakfast at the lobby and I could see the tiredness in Selene’s eyes.

James : Are you feeling better ?

Selene : I don’t know. Just feeling a little light headed and queasy.

We chatted a little about work as I sipped my coffee when suddenly Selene broke away from the topic of work.

Selene : Last time you hated coffee James …

I was caught a little off guard as I paused midway and searched my mind for a reply.

James : I was what… 16 ? haha.. people change Selene …. People change.

Selene : Yah… without realizing it, it’s been so long…

James : Well…. One thing remained the same though… I still like you..

I flashed my best smile, hiding partially behind my coffee cup and Selene gave a shy giggle before making a show of throwing the breakfast bun at me.

Selene : Don’t be silly James..

I just gave a shrug of my shoulders and did not give her a reply.

Selene took a while with her food, apparently having some difficulty eating in the state she was in.

Right when she drained her last drop of coffee, I saw her started gentle strokes on her chest, taking slow deep breaths.

James : Hmm… I’m not sure you should be taking coffee in that state..

Selene : Why not ?

James : I don’t know. Maybe I’ll google it later, don’t think caffeine is ideal for you right now.

8.00am

We headed back to the room and I told Selene that I’ll gather up my stuff and come over to her room before we leave around 8.30am to the airport.

8.25am

I had a good long dump while reading the papers and did a final check in my room before heading over to Selene’s room.

When I entered her room at 8.30am, I was a little surprised to see that she was not packed yet.

The victoria secrets were scattered on the bed together with the sleep clothes I bought for her.

Her phone was plugged in and her laptop, documents were scattered all over the table.

I knocked on the bathroom door and heard a reply that made me feel like throwing out my breakfast.

I left my luggage and bags aside and tried to open the bathroom door but it was locked.

James : Selene , hey… Selene… are you ok ?

Selene : Yah… I’m…. fine.

James : Do you need help ? can you open the door ?

Selene : It’s ok, I’m fine , I’m fine..

I waited for a good 15 minutes before I heard the shower came on.

By the time she emerged from the bathroom, it was already 9.20am

She was a little wobbly and shuffled in a zombie like state to the bed before sitting down and trying to dry her hair.

It had to be the 2nd time she showered that morning, i guess it could not be helped since you’re literally soaked with the smell of vomit.

I checked the time and said I was a little concerned about making our way to the airport during peak hour in the city.

9.30am

I was in the midst of helping Selene keep her laptop when she suddenly just dashed back into the bathroom before kicking the door shut.

That was it.

As the time ticked by, I knew the chances of us missing our flights were getting higher.

My mind was spinning and processing the possible scenarios and it suddenly occurred to me that I might not get another opportunity like this in a very long time. Perhaps never again.

I knew I had to make the best of this situation and spend more time with Selene.

Instead of helping Selene keep her stuff, I replaced them back where they were, determined to waste away the precious seconds.

Her clothes that were strewn all over the place were messy enough and I left them at that.

I went to her phone and immediately unplugged it. In double quick time, I removed the battery and I dumped it in the half finished cup of tea.

I did not know if it would work but it was worth a try.

I let it soak for a good 5-6 seconds before I removed it and dry it with the tissues on the table.

I replaced the battery and tried to switch on the phone.

Nothing happened.

Before Selene came out of the bathroom, I took the opportunity to sneak in a few sniffs, especially on the clothes she wore overnight to bed, relishing the stale smell of sleep from her freshly worn clothes.

9.40am

Selene came out of the bathroom and apologized.

Selene : Sorry, sorry…. I’m ok… let’s go.

I watched and observed her try to slip on her heels.

She managed to get them on alright but she just held on to the wall in front of her without letting go.

I went over and brought both my hands to Selene’s shoulders gently.

I stroked them slowly and tried to speak in a soft caring manner.

James : Selene , take off your heels.. sit down for a while.

Selene : No it’s ok, we’re going to be late.

Inside my heart I was hoping for the time to pass quickly, if we miss the flight, it would mean staying perhaps for another half a day, or even another night in Penang.

Knowing that it’s the weekends, there was even a possibility that rooms were already booked and we might need to share a room.

It would also mean Selene’s husband to be would be kept out of reach for another day, with her phone dead, I can only imagine what Aaron’s mind would be thinking of.

Imagine your wife to be in a foreign country with another man with her trip being extended and no phone access.

His mind would wander.

Perhaps his mind would fuck himself silly thinking of the possibilities.

9.55am

Although a little wobbly and weak, Selene still managed to gather up her things and we left the hotel.

It’s going to be tight but we might just make the last call for the flight back to Singapore.

I saw Selene fiddling with her phone while we checked out , she was trying to get it to work and seeing that it won’t come on, it frustrated her even more.

We boarded a cab at 10.10am and 15 minutes after we set off, I knew we would not make the flight since we’re stuck in a jam.

Peak hour aside, there was a minor accident that caused the traffic to come to a crawl.

Selene looked on helplessly as I kept looking at my watch.

10.45am

James : Selene….

I place my hand on hers and gave her a gentle nudge.

Selene : I know… I’m sorry… we’re not going to make it.

We got to the airport at 11.25am and Selene immediately asked around for the next flight out to Singapore.

It turns out there was another flight out in 3 hours but it was full too. We could hang around if we wished to see if there’s any cancellation.

We grabbed a seat and I told Selene why not we stay for another day.

James : You could grab some rest, and we could get on the first flight back the next morning. It’s better than waiting here.

I showed her my phone and pointed to the number of unread mail in my mailbox.

James : 138 . Really huat liao. I need to get some work done too.

I could tell she was torn between making the decision at that point in time and I decided to make them for her.

Sometimes women just want men to make the decision and I evaluated that it was one of those moment I should just take over.

Especially at a moment when she was feeling tired, sick, and helpless.

I went and got tickets for us to fly out the next morning at 11am

Selene was just slouched over by the time I got back and I had to help her get out of the seat.

Selene : I feel so miserable James. Everything just seemed to go wrong.

I hailed a cab to take us back to the hotel and replied.

James : Nonsense. Don’t think about anything right now. I’ll take care of it.

1pm

We arrived back at the hotel and I told Selene to wait at the seats by the entrance while I go get a room.

As I queued at the reception, I saw tourists, weekend travellers all streaming into the lobby. I was disappointed when I got my turn and I realized that there were still enough rooms for us to each get one.

I turned and saw that Selene was still trying to fiddle on her phone and I told the reception to tend to other guest first.

I decided to take a gamble and I hope it would pay off.

I went over to Selene and I prayed she would not approach the reception personally to clarify things out.

James : Hey..

Selene : Yah ?

She saw the look on my face and before I could speak, she lamented ;

Selene : Please don’t tell me they’re full…. My heart cannot take this…

James : haha. No they’re not but I need to tell you first before making the reservations.

I paused for a moment before I spoke;

James : It’s the weekend, and ermm… they’ve only got 1 more room. It’s a twin bed though, and i requested to put us on the waiting list for the next available room.

Selene looked away into the streets for a moment before looking around the hotel lobby, despite the 2 nights we’ve spent together, it seemed she was still a little hesitant about readily sharing room with me.

It’s natural and I could understand.

I just want to slowly break down her defenses.

Selene : What choice do we have… ? haha. .. it’s ok.. .. like that it’s easier for you to take care of me right ?

She flashed me a brief shy smile.

I replied expressionless;

James : I expect a pay increment after this trip.

Selene : haha.. I just hope we survive this trip. Nothing is going well. Even my phone died.

She said she needed the bathroom and passed me her stuff as i made my way to the reception.

I went over to the reception and was about to speak to the manager on duty when my phone rang.

The caller ID flashed Aaron and I panicked.

I was not supposed to have his contact details but I calmed myself down after rejecting the call.

I excused myself from the desk again and deleted his contact.

I waited for the phone to ring again and barely seconds later it did.

I answered and heard Aaron’s voice came on.

James ：Hello ? Yes Aaron… Oh Hi… .. yah. yah…

We exchanged some pleasantries before he asked me if he could speak to Selene.

I decided it would be a good time to fuck with him mind and i pretended to stammer and spoke in pieces

James : Oh…. ermmm…. erm… err… She’s …. wait ah… oh.. she’s in the bathroom.

He asked where were we and i told him honestly that we’re at the hotel.

James : We’re …. at the hotel ? … Penang ?

I could feel the awkward silence coming from the other end before he asked me why Selene’s phone could not get through.

James : Oh ? … erm…. i’m… not too sure…… how about i get her to call you back when she’s out ?

He hung up without saying goodbye.

I would have paid a good sum of money to see the expression on Aaron’s face.

I too would have flipped if i called my wife to be and another man told me she’s in the bathroom in a hotel.

Selene came out 10 minutes later and i told her Aaron called before passing her the phone.

After the call went through, I heard something like ;

Selene ： We’re working… come on. Of course we’re together. !! How do you expect him to pass the phone to me then ? !

She spoke a little louder than she expected and she shot me an embarrassed look.

It was followed by several hush whisper before something like this came out again.

Selene ： Don’t be ridiculous Aaron, I’m not feeling too good and I had to see a doc…..

It sounded like she was cut off and her expression was not to pleasant to look at.

Selene : I woke up late and I missed the damm flight ok ? it’s my fault. You happy now ?

She hung up on him before she broke down and cried. It was nothing loud and embarrassing but her tears was rolling down her cheeks.

I quickly hushed her down and tried to calm her.

James : Ok .. ok.. calm down.. what happened ?

Selene ： Aaron was upset

James : About what ?

Selene : About us…

I gave an exaggerated sign of innocence and added.

James ： Come on… it’s a business trip, surely he could understand that.

Selene : He says he can’t get me on my phone….

James : Tell him the phone is dead. It’s the truth

She gave a sigh and looked away.

Selene : He’s just not happy we’re travelling together.

We were both quiet for a moment before I asked.

James : Why ? …..Surely he doesn’t know I’m secretly still interested in you. Haha

It was a lame joke and but it did made Selene laugh.

But the next few sentences Selene said was like a stab into my spine as I felt the tingling sensation of arousal creep into me.

Selene : Haha.

She looked away and crossed her heel clad legs, and massaging the sides of her head at the same time.

Selene : He knows… he knows…… Your sister told him. .. .. saying you’re my loyal admirer. Haha.

I smiled and replied.

James : And what did you say to that ?

Selene laughed adding that she did not expect her reply to come back and haunt her now.

Selene : Haha.. it was a silly answer, I told him that if I did not meet him, and if you’re not with Cidney, perhaps I just might ? haha.

She waved her hand a little embarrassed and refused to talk about it anymore.

I just added in a gentle voice.

Selene : I’m not having this conversation. …haha. sigh….

James : Well, I expected a little more maturity from your husband to be. And perhaps he should show you a little respect as well by not doubting you.

I could tell Selene was a little taken aback and I left her to ponder the words I just said.

I went over to the manager on duty and made my room reservation.

James : Give me a room with a queen bed

Reception : Certainly Sir.

Right when i retrieved the room key, i dropped Aaron a message.

James sms : Hi Aaron, Selene’s phone is dead but if you need to reach her, feel free to call my phone.

That ought to drive his blood pressure up a little in the meantime.

When I went back over to Selene 10 minutes later, she was just staring at her feet.

I helped her with her bags and we both got up to the room.

1.30pm

When we opened the room, I allowed Selene to go in first and she stopped short at the Bed before turning to me.

I saw the bed and I made a show of exhaling a deep breath.

James : Don’t worry, I’ll sort it out with them. It’s supposed to be a twin

I must have given my best tired look performance and Selene immediately told me that it’s ok right when I was about to turn and leave the room.

Selene : It’s fine…. Forget it.

James : I take the couch…

She did not reply.

We ordered lunch in and set up our laptops and got to work. I could hear the repeated beeps of a messenger client from Selene’s laptop and she must be talking to Aaron.

Seeing the frown and the unsatisfied expression on her face, I guessed it could not have been a good conversation.

When she finally slammed down her laptop, I jumped a little.

She just stared at me for a moment before speaking.

Selene : James ….

Her expression looked a little tried and grave and I replied slowly and cautiously.

James : What ?

Selene : How would you feel if your fiancée had to spend another day overseas because of work with a male colleague ?

I felt my heart skip several beats.

James : Come on Selene, we just been through this in the lobby … haha.

She laughed too, shaking her head in a resigning manner.

I stopped my work and lowered my laptop screen before turning to face Selene.

James : Is Aaron angry ?

She nodded.

I got up and walked over to her side before squatting down in front of her.

I knew she would be feeling guarded and reserved at that moment since Aaron just expressed his displeasure. It would be foolish of me to try anything funny and prove Aaron right.

I would do everything I could to prove him wrong and make it obvious that he was just being overly suspicious and paranoid.

James : Look Selene.. .. it’s work. Nothing more.

James : You’re not feeling well, you should have told him and he should have been more understanding.

I added again before Selene could speak.

James : He’s going to marry you soon. He should trust you…. It’s just a simple work trip. Nothing happened and nothing is going to happen.

I want to slowly plant the seed of doubt in her mind.

James : You’re the boss of a company, there’s so much responsibility resting on your shoulders, he should understand.

Selene just kept quiet as I went on.

Never in my words did I say Aaron was not good.

I used ‘ should have’ , ‘should know ‘ , ‘ should understand’ , I wanted Selene to draw her own conclusion.

I ended the conversation saying that I thought Aaron was a pretty nice guy.

James : He’s worthy of your love, I’m sure he’s a nice and understanding guy… right ?

I could see Selene searching her mind for some reply but she offered no comments.

I stood up and got back to work .

James : Come on, it’s fine for couples to have a little tiff here and there. I’m sure it’ll be ok once you get back.

She just nodded a little before shuffling over to the bed.

She got into bed and propped herself up with some pillows before pulling the blanket over her.

Selene : I feel so tired… having to do this and work at the same time.

I did not reply Selene and continued my work.

2.45pm

I checked on Selene and she was sound asleep.

I decided it was a good time to snoop around on her laptop since it was right beside mine.

I could always say i just needed to refer to some documents.

I called up the email folder and saw that Aaron had sent several emails when his messages through the messenger program went unanswered.

I looked through the past messages and realised that Selene had told Aaron about the flight details the next day and that he would be waiting for her at the Airport.

I read through them and chuckled to myself as i dragged everything to the junk folder.

I know it was pretty obvious if i only did that for Aaron’s mail so i dragged more mails, especially those that were sent during the Penang trip into the junk folder.

I kept getting a ;

Are you there ?

You ok ?

You there ?

These kind of messages from Aaron but i did not reply, i just kept moving Selene’s mouse, to make sure my status remained active yet there was no reply for Aaron

3.00pm

My phone rang and i knew it was Aaron from the caller ID, switched it to silent mode, feeling the strong vibration, and quickly answered before the commotion went on for too long and woke Selene.

I spoke in a rather hush voice

James : Hello ? Yah Hi Aaron…

He asked for Selene immediately and i told him to hold on.

I did not put him on hold and i went over to Selene and gently shook her.

I made sure i spoke near the phone.

James : Selene….. Selene… wake up… hey..

She mumbled a little before i added a little louder.

James : Wake up… here…

I passed her the phone and i went back to my seat.

There was a good 30 second of silence from Selene before i heard her speak in a chilling voice….

Selene : Stop calling me Aaron…… We’ll talk when i get back. …

She left my phone by her side and turned away.

I heard her gave a loud sigh and buried her head with a pillow.

I could not suppress a smile and i continued with my work.

9th March 2012

Friday

6am

I woke up at 6am and despite the lack of good quality sleep, I felt energized and ready to hit the road that brand new day.

I checked my mail and saw a reply from Beng Soon at around 5.30am.

Beng Soon email;

Ok Sure. What do I need it for ?

Is this about Cidney ?

BS

I drafted a quick reply before I went to the bathroom.

James Email ;

It’s about repaying me for Cidney…

James.

I showered and changed and got ready to leave the room around 6.30 am after I ironed Selene’s clothes.

I did not have any fancy hangers and bags so I folded them nicely, tucking the lingerie in between her pants and blouse before putting them in a fresh laundry bag

I waited for about a minute for my erection to go down as thoughts of Selene having to change into the clothes I washed and folded for her kept swirling around in my head.

Especially scenes and images of her putting her leg into the opening of the panty that was in my mouth barely a few hours ago. Somehow I felt I could relate to the slow drag of her soft sexy panty up her smooth legs to my running my tongue along it as well.

I knew that day would eventually come if I waited patiently and play my cards right.

I did not knock on Selene’s door but instead opened it with the card I had.

I could tell she was still sleeping seeing her bundled up under her blanket.

I placed her clothes at the dressing table and boiled some water, and prepared her medication.

The commotion and the roar of the kettle in the small room woke her up and she stirred, stretching and making soft squeaks that sent more blood to my manhood.

I was hit with the fresh feeling of a morning cuddle after a good night of sex, waking up to your partner stretching those joints that were vigorously worked the night before.

I saw Selene’s eyes tracking my every move but I ignored them and went about my business.

I finally settled down beside her after I made her a cup of tea and passed her half of the medication.

James : The rest you can take only after breakfast.

She tried to sit up but seemed to have some difficulty and I helped her propped herself up with some pillows.

She brushed her long hair over her head before massaging the ridge of her nose for a few seconds before taking over the medicine.

James : Alright, get changed, we need to grab breakfast then head to the airport.

She nodded obediently and checked her phone but it was dead.

She just left it on the bed before shuffling to the bathroom.

Selene : Did the hotel return the laundry ?

James : They’re on the table.

She went in without her clothes and i switched on the tv and drew the curtains, enjoying the first peeks of the morning sun into the room.

I could see the city coming alive on the streets below and I was looking forward to a cup of strong coffee.

Selene came out of the bathroom dripping wet in her sleep clothes to retrieve those I had washed before heading back in to change again.

7.15 am

We left the room for breakfast at the lobby and I could see the tiredness in Selene’s eyes.

James : Are you feeling better ?

Selene : I don’t know. Just feeling a little light headed and queasy.

We chatted a little about work as I sipped my coffee when suddenly Selene broke away from the topic of work.

Selene : Last time you hated coffee James …

I was caught a little off guard as I paused midway and searched my mind for a reply.

James : I was what… 16 ? haha.. people change Selene …. People change.

Selene : Yah… without realizing it, it’s been so long…

James : Well…. One thing remained the same though… I still like you..

I flashed my best smile, hiding partially behind my coffee cup and Selene gave a shy giggle before making a show of throwing the breakfast bun at me.

Selene : Don’t be silly James..

I just gave a shrug of my shoulders and did not give her a reply.

Selene took a while with her food, apparently having some difficulty eating in the state she was in.

Right when she drained her last drop of coffee, I saw her started gentle strokes on her chest, taking slow deep breaths.

James : Hmm… I’m not sure you should be taking coffee in that state..

Selene : Why not ?

James : I don’t know. Maybe I’ll google it later, don’t think caffeine is ideal for you right now.

8.00am

We headed back to the room and I told Selene that I’ll gather up my stuff and come over to her room before we leave around 8.30am to the airport.

8.25am

I had a good long dump while reading the papers and did a final check in my room before heading over to Selene’s room.

When I entered her room at 8.30am, I was a little surprised to see that she was not packed yet.

The victoria secrets were scattered on the bed together with the sleep clothes I bought for her.

Her phone was plugged in and her laptop, documents were scattered all over the table.

I knocked on the bathroom door and heard a reply that made me feel like throwing out my breakfast.

I left my luggage and bags aside and tried to open the bathroom door but it was locked.

James : Selene , hey… Selene… are you ok ?

Selene : Yah… I’m…. fine.

James : Do you need help ? can you open the door ?

Selene : It’s ok, I’m fine , I’m fine..

I waited for a good 15 minutes before I heard the shower came on.

By the time she emerged from the bathroom, it was already 9.20am

She was a little wobbly and shuffled in a zombie like state to the bed before sitting down and trying to dry her hair.

It had to be the 2nd time she showered that morning, i guess it could not be helped since you’re literally soaked with the smell of vomit.

I checked the time and said I was a little concerned about making our way to the airport during peak hour in the city.

9.30am

I was in the midst of helping Selene keep her laptop when she suddenly just dashed back into the bathroom before kicking the door shut.

That was it.

As the time ticked by, I knew the chances of us missing our flights were getting higher.

My mind was spinning and processing the possible scenarios and it suddenly occurred to me that I might not get another opportunity like this in a very long time. Perhaps never again.

I knew I had to make the best of this situation and spend more time with Selene.

Instead of helping Selene keep her stuff, I replaced them back where they were, determined to waste away the precious seconds.

Her clothes that were strewn all over the place were messy enough and I left them at that.

I went to her phone and immediately unplugged it. In double quick time, I removed the battery and I dumped it in the half finished cup of tea.

I did not know if it would work but it was worth a try.

I let it soak for a good 5-6 seconds before I removed it and dry it with the tissues on the table.

I replaced the battery and tried to switch on the phone.

Nothing happened.

Before Selene came out of the bathroom, I took the opportunity to sneak in a few sniffs, especially on the clothes she wore overnight to bed, relishing the stale smell of sleep from her freshly worn clothes.

9.40am

Selene came out of the bathroom and apologized.

Selene : Sorry, sorry…. I’m ok… let’s go.

I watched and observed her try to slip on her heels.

She managed to get them on alright but she just held on to the wall in front of her without letting go.

I went over and brought both my hands to Selene’s shoulders gently.

I stroked them slowly and tried to speak in a soft caring manner.

James : Selene , take off your heels.. sit down for a while.

Selene : No it’s ok, we’re going to be late.

Inside my heart I was hoping for the time to pass quickly, if we miss the flight, it would mean staying perhaps for another half a day, or even another night in Penang.

Knowing that it’s the weekends, there was even a possibility that rooms were already booked and we might need to share a room.

It would also mean Selene’s husband to be would be kept out of reach for another day, with her phone dead, I can only imagine what Aaron’s mind would be thinking of.

Imagine your wife to be in a foreign country with another man with her trip being extended and no phone access.

His mind would wander.

Perhaps his mind would fuck himself silly thinking of the possibilities.

9.55am

Although a little wobbly and weak, Selene still managed to gather up her things and we left the hotel.

It’s going to be tight but we might just make the last call for the flight back to Singapore.

I saw Selene fiddling with her phone while we checked out , she was trying to get it to work and seeing that it won’t come on, it frustrated her even more.

We boarded a cab at 10.10am and 15 minutes after we set off, I knew we would not make the flight since we’re stuck in a jam.

Peak hour aside, there was a minor accident that caused the traffic to come to a crawl.

Selene looked on helplessly as I kept looking at my watch.

10.45am

James : Selene….

I place my hand on hers and gave her a gentle nudge.

Selene : I know… I’m sorry… we’re not going to make it.

We got to the airport at 11.25am and Selene immediately asked around for the next flight out to Singapore.

It turns out there was another flight out in 3 hours but it was full too. We could hang around if we wished to see if there’s any cancellation.

We grabbed a seat and I told Selene why not we stay for another day.

James : You could grab some rest, and we could get on the first flight back the next morning. It’s better than waiting here.

I showed her my phone and pointed to the number of unread mail in my mailbox.

James : 138 . Really huat liao. I need to get some work done too.

I could tell she was torn between making the decision at that point in time and I decided to make them for her.

Sometimes women just want men to make the decision and I evaluated that it was one of those moment I should just take over.

Especially at a moment when she was feeling tired, sick, and helpless.

I went and got tickets for us to fly out the next morning at 11am

Selene was just slouched over by the time I got back and I had to help her get out of the seat.

Selene : I feel so miserable James. Everything just seemed to go wrong.

I hailed a cab to take us back to the hotel and replied.

James : Nonsense. Don’t think about anything right now. I’ll take care of it.

Selene looked away into the streets for a moment before looking around the hotel lobby, despite the 2 nights we’ve spent together, it seemed she was still a little hesitant about readily sharing room with me.

It’s natural and I could understand.

I called up the email folder and saw that Aaron had sent several emails when his messages through the messenger program went unanswered.

I looked through the past messages and realised that Selene had told Aaron about the flight details the next day and that he would be waiting for her at the Airport.

I read through them and chuckled to myself as i dragged everything to the junk folder.

I know it was pretty obvious if i only did that for Aaron’s mail so i dragged more mails, especially those that were sent during the Penang trip into the junk folder.

I kept getting a ;

Are you there ?

You ok ?

You there ?

These kind of messages from Aaron but i did not reply, i just kept moving Selene’s mouse, to make sure my status remained active yet there was no reply for Aaron

3.00pm

My phone rang and i knew it was Aaron from the caller ID, switched it to silent mode, feeling the strong vibration, and quickly answered before the commotion went on for too long and woke Selene.

I spoke in a rather hush voice

James : Hello ? Yah Hi Aaron…

He asked for Selene immediately and i told him to hold on.

I did not put him on hold and i went over to Selene and gently shook her.

I made sure i spoke near the phone.

James : Selene….. Selene… wake up… hey..

She mumbled a little before i added a little louder.

James : Wake up… here…

I passed her the phone and i went back to my seat.

There was a good 30 second of silence from Selene before i heard her speak in a chilling voice….

Selene : Stop calling me Aaron…… We’ll talk when i get back. …

She left my phone by her side and turned away.

I heard her gave a loud sigh and buried her head with a pillow.

I could not suppress a smile and i continued with my work.
