I got married early compared to my peers.
My wife Belinda and I went for our ROM when we were 23. We were madly in love, and we could hardly keep ours hands off each other. Sex was great, amazing in fact and felt our characters were really compatible. We dated for less than 6 months but felt that we want to live the rest of our lives together.
Hell even the zodiac signs says we’re meant to be together. Against the objection of our parents, we registered our marriage in May 2006, just days after the country’s election.
Our friends said we were crazy, my relatives thought it was a shot gun marriage, even the justice of peace gave us a long speech when he presided over our ceremony. I guess even he knew this was a fairy tale without a happy ending.
The initial couple of years were great, we were living the live we wanted. We got our own 3 room flat in Toa Payoh, our very own love nest. It had nothing in it when we moved in. We could not afford the renovation works and we did not want to trouble our parents as they already helped with the down payment.
We painted the house on our own, assembled our own furniture. On the day we moved in, there was only a mattress on the floor but we were happy. Each other was all we need.
Folly thoughts.
Belinda and I are poly graduates, she started work the moment she finished school while I did too after I completed my NS. We did what all couples did. We worked, we bought stuff for the house. We travelled.
Chinese new year came and we had to give red packets to cousins older than us because many of them were not even attached. It was amusing at first.
It was one of the best period of my young adult life. Imagine finishing work, meeting your sweet pretty wife at the train station. Grab some food from the coffee shop, talk about what happened during your day, and end the night off with some hot banging sex all over your new place.
I was on top of the world….. for a while.
Nothing could come between us. Nothing could separate us.
By 2008, things started to get stagnant. Sex was not as good as we remembered and we quarrelled frequently. It’s not over money, it’s not over infidelity, it’s nothing.
Fucking nothing but we would just quarrel.
On the 1st of January 2009, Belinda and I had a long talk and we decided that was it.
Belinda : We can’t live the rest of our lives like this…..
I agreed. It was stifling, and it was really affecting my life. I don’t want to live like this.
What comes next happened so fast and smooth you would think it’s was a orchestrated plan. There was no more quarrel, no more shouting. We talked as if we were friends, nothing more.
We moved back to our parent’s place who knew better than to try and say “ We told you so “ in our faces but it was evident they were itching to say it.
Not that I mind.
The house in Toa Payoh was rented out to my wife’s cousin who worked in the area. The rent goes towards paying the mortgage and any excess was split equally between both of us.
Initially I would still check back with Belinda, whether everything is ok, was the rent paid on time. We still talked, mostly messages.
Without fail, on the 10th of every month, the money would be credited into my account. As time went on, there was no need for me to even talk to Belinda. Not because I don’t want to, there was nothing to talk about.
I was thankful Belinda and I were never into those crazy social media stuff. The idea of posting our photos and what we did online did not sound logical to us at all. We did not have much to share anyway, no Banquet, no pre wedding shoot, just a simple ROM ceremony.
It was something we would come to appreciate when we parted ways. Imagine having to find and delete all those photos of me and Belinda together. Some day another would probably just resurface and remind us of the painful memories we did not want to remember.
Our lives went on normally until during Chinese New year of 2010.
Belinda said we should consider doing something about our legal status as husband and wife.
If she did not mention it, it would have slipped my mind that I was married.
Living by myself and for myself seemed to be how I liked it. The freedom, it cannot be explained. It’s like a pair of wings. I could do anything I wanted and go anywhere my heart desired.
I told Belinda I agree, we should probably get a lawyer and work things out.
She replied that she was not in a hurry, but we shouldn’t leave things hanging too for the good of both of us. With the rental income plus our CPF, the house would be paid off in a couple of years. We agreed to hold on till then before we sell it, and split the profits.
That was the last correspondence I had with Belinda for the whole of 2010.
3rd May 2011
Tuesday.
It was a day of significance for me. Not only was it my first day at a new office, it was also the day I turned 28.
I had followed my team leader Mr Liew and we left our jobs together to come to this new firm. He initially broached the idea to me and said he was confident about the prospects in this company. Besides a 15% pay increment, the benefits were far better too. I was interested of course, who wouldn’t ?
Besides I work well with Mr Liew, despite being a father of 2 at 45, he still had the boundless energy of a fresh graduate. He taught me everything I knew. From dealing with difficult people and situation, to understanding the mechanics of office politics.
Mr Liew : Office politics…. It’s everywhere…. You hate it… you don’t like it…. But you still have to play the game…. It’s just the way things are…
Mr Liew taught me skills and gave me ideas that schools would never have in it’s syllabus.
How do you deal with workers who was trying to be funny ?
How do you make sure the contractor does things the way you want it ?
How to do things your way even though it appears you are not .
He opened my eyes to this beautiful and ugly world of the construction industry. An industry where favours, money, and secrets changed hands right under our very nose.
Corruption…. It’s everywhere…Small… big… in different scale…
It’s how you define it.
The more you try to hide something, the more people would want to dig it.
Mr Liew : … The best secrets are the ones hidden in plain sight.
7 am
I was at Tanjong Pagar market waiting for Mr Liew with 2 coffees in front of me. Barely a minute later, I saw him walking towards me and I gave him a wave.
Mr Liew : So how…. First day of work… nervous or not…. Haha…
James : Haha… I’ve been working for 5 years leh brother…. Hahah…
We laughed together, despite our age different, I address him more as a brother than as a superior, but I was careful not to let this get in the way of work. When it was work related and during meetings, I would still call him Mr Liew.
We had a good breakfast, finished our coffee before we walked over to our new office a stone throw away.
8.30am
The HR girl introduced herself as Sharon. She spent some time going through the various forms we needed to fill in. As I waited for her to make copies of my ID and documents I quietly observed the office and the people that comes in.
The company took up and entire floor of the building. The reception it right at the middle of the whole floor in front of the lift lobby. The glass meeting room I was at is tucked at the side of the reception, giving me a clear view of everyone that walked into the office.
One thing struck me though was behind the reception, there was 2 company names. One which I was joining and another.
I causally asked the HR are we sharing office with another firm and she replied me in a most peculiar manner.
Sharon : Oh… that… the other one is actually the Boss’s son’s company…
I have heard of that name before, it’s another design firm.
James : Oh… are we competing for business or working together… ?
Sharon : erm…. Haha… I don’t know how to answer that question….we… operate independently as separate legal entities….but…er…
She whispered in a knowing manner.
Sharon : Daddy pays the bill ma… so..
I laughed and nodded.
Her facial expression changed suddenly as she got back to arranging her documents. I looked up and saw this man walk into the office.
He’s tall. 1.8 at least with a good built. Smartly dressed and his hair was slicked back and cast into place with a good dollop of hair gel. Yes, like Shanghai Tang.
He walked as If he had this air of arrogance around him, talking briefly to the receptionist before turning left into his office.
Sharon : That’s the wing associate for the company. Mr Lau. .. boss’s son.
I could not understand the funny position that companies come up with these days.
Wing associate. That was also Mr Liew’s position.
Well, granted that the office was divided into 2 wings, North and South, it seemed pretty reasonable.
North wing will be where we work. South is the company helmed by Mr Lau.
My position ?
Thankfully it’s still decent. Senior project & admin manager. I actually administer the contracts mostly but what do I care. As long as they pay me.
That was until Sharon passed me a box of my new name card.
I almost fainted.
To save space and text, the printed SP AM James *****
There’s a spacing between SP and AM but it just looks so funny being beside each other.
I showed Mr Liew my name card when Sharon stepped out ….
James : Eh na bei…. They give me Spam position….
I thought it would make Mr Liew laugh until I saw his name card.
I burst out laughing, hitting the table and clutching my stomach.
WA Liew *******
James : Wah liew….. this company is joker company la brother…
Mr Liew shook his head and just that moment , I saw the Boss son’ come into the meeting room.
We stood up and he introduced himself as Terry.
Terry : Hi I’m Terry…
We shook hands and he welcomed us onboard. He sort of hinted that even though we work for different companies in a way, our help was still expected when there is something major going on.
With that he headed out and into the lift.
James : Eh you same position with him also… Wing associate…
Mr Liew nodded.
Mr Liew : Yes… next time people will say this company team leaders is call WA Lau and WA Liew…..
I laughed and took a seat.
Sharon came in with our staff pass and said she will show us to our seats.
I got up and followed behind Mr Liew. Sharon stopped by the reception to grab some drawer keys that were labelled with our names, probably for our desk drawers.
I heard the chime of the lift behind me.
It rang and buzzed in my ears.
My eyes caught the reflection of the opening and I froze.
I could not move.
Sharon : Ok.. follow me…
She turned to the right and Mr Liew followed.
I made a full turn and locked eyes with the woman standing in front of me.
I have not seen her in a while.
Dressed in slick tapered work pants, with her white blouse neatly tucked in, she looked chic and professional. She grew her hair long, well pass her shoulders.
Both of us froze of a second and I could see her swallow a lump of saliva as we stared at each other.
We did not speak.
She looked away first and continued walking towards me.
Another Lift chimed, and Terry came out.
Terry : Hey… I missed you at the café… called out but you never hear me…
I watched as Belinda turned, smiled and hugged Terry before he planted a kiss on her cheek.
I don’t know what I was feeling.
I could not describe it.
Mr Liew : James… oei… keep up…
As another lift Chimed to unload more staff onto the floor, I swung to the right, focusing my eyes on the reflections of Terry and Belinda on the glass doors of the meeting room.
They turned to the left and walked in with their hands held.
I was in a bit of a daze as I logged into my account.
I needed a coffee.
I headed to the pantry which was shared by both offices.
There she was.
I went to the coffee machine and waited for her to be done with her coffee before putting a fresh cup under it.
She stayed beside me, adding in sugar and creamer.
We were waiting for the other to speak.
Belinda spoke first.
Belinda : We’re all trying to move on James… hope you understand…
James : I do… don’t worry… I won’t say a word..
Belinda : Let’s keep this under wraps… we should probably look at getting the paper work done…
James : Sure…
I agreed, we parted ways at the pantry.
I got back to my seat which was beside this girl Sandy. I had shook hands with her when I got in earlier but this time round she was sobbing on her desk .
James : Err…. Sandy… are you ok ??
Then without warning, I saw Terry stormed into the office and dropped a file onto Sandy’s table.
Terry : Check what you are doing before you give them to me.. !!
He stormed off as I stared on.
Ok…. This sucks…
Sharon came by with a box of stationaries and she gestured for me to go over to her as she issued Mr Liew his stuff.
James : Wah… Terry so fierce one ah….
Sharon : Stay away from Sandy James….
James : Why ?? …
Sharon : She’s Terry’s ex girlfriend…..
My eyes widened as I turned to look at Sandy.
She is quite pretty. As she stood up to throw some tissues, I could see her height and built is pretty similar to Belinda.
I took the opportunity to dig a little since Sharon seemed like the gossipy kind.
James : Oh…ermm… Terry dumped her for someone else ah…. Just now I saw… him with another girl….
Sharon’s eyes brightened as if she had found a fellow gossiper to whisper to in the office.
Sharon : No… no… …. Sandy was the one that dumped Terry…. Shhhhhhhhh….
She turned and checked behind her shoulders before adding..
Sharon : Don’t say I say one ah…. After they break up, Sandy requested for transfer over here….. last year this time Terry very fat one….. but because of this, he go exercise… lose weight… now look a lot better… but too late already….
She lowered her voice a notch.
Sharon : Now he got someone else already… but hor… he still cannot let go of Sandy… always find trouble… sigh…
She straightened herself, brushed her blouse and walked off.
I nodded my head in a knowing manner.
Mr Liew : Don’t kaypo la… go and Spam your work…
James : Wa liew….
We laughed and I walked back to my desk.
By 10am, I saw and shook hands with all the team members in my team.
So did Mr Liew.
10.10am
Mr Liew : What do you think ?
I laughed and looked at Mr Liew.
James : We’re fucked…
We’re in trouble and Mr Liew knew it too.
The people in our team are a mish mash of rejects from what I could see.
We held out hopes that things would get better after a while. Once we get settled in and adjust accordingly, everything would be fine.
It was not the case.
We did what we could but by the end of the 1st month, it was clear the people in our team were trouble, or troubled.
First was Sandy. She’s a good girl, sweet, pretty and hardworking but she is being harassed by Terry.
Almost every week, sometimes twice a week, he would make unreasonable demands of her. Sandy does admin work, mostly filing and since she used to be from his team, Terry came over frequently to question her on her past works.
Not only that, he makes her do the administrative work from his office too.
2 separate entities my ass.
Because of this, I often find Sandy quietly sobbing by her desk during lunch.
I tried to ask her out to eat with the rest of us but she said she had no appetite.
I made it a point to buy something back for her every time it happened.
Sandy : No need James… it’s ok…. Come I pay you back the money…
James : No need la… it’s ok…
She flirts with me on occasions though, when she’s in a good mood. I think it was when she could see from the company movement charts that Terry is overseas, she would be more relaxed.
Sandy : Eh… don’t treat me so nice la James…. You like me is it… haha…
I laughed and replied.
James : You so pretty… everyone will like one ….. but… I scare la… wait Terry come and scold me..
Sandy : Tsk !…
She would narrow her eyes at me, flashing her cute dimples.
Inside the office, Sandy is the only eye candy for me. She dress well, usually some body hugging dress. Her work is ok, some mistakes here and there but still within acceptable limits.
I loved Wednesdays and Fridays. It was the days Sandy would go for her yoga class after work.
Working with a inefficient team can take it’s told mentally and physically on your body and like everyone else, I need a form of release.
You see, Sandy would leave the office at 6pm sharp, heading across the road to a Yoga gym before arriving back around 7.30pm with her dinner to continue her work. I think the routine sort of began when she knew Terry would leave work on the dot.
She could easily get her stuff done while she enjoys a slow dinner. Me on the other hand, liked to feast my eyes on Sandy’s body.
It’s either black or grey tights most of the time and with tights, there is no way to hide anything. The elastic fabric is like a 2nd skin and every time I see her walk out of the office in that and a loose tshirt that was almost translucent, my dick would stir.
It gets better when she comes back in. Sometimes she goes for a short jog. The beads of perspiration, the stray strands of matted hair on her forehead. It was a arousing sight.
Her sports bra are always colourful, neon purple with prints and her tshirts always loose, exposing a shoulder blade. With her hair tied up into a bun, she looked deliciously healthy.
I was tempted to ransack her gym bag on some occasion but I held back. Telling myself to control my urges and emotions no matter how tempting her body hugging dress and her high heels looked that day.
The days with stockings are especially hard.
I had to force myself to look away whenever Sandy brings something over for me to vet through and sign.
I could not resist staring at her bare black stockinged feet one day as they were tucked snuggly in her cartoon slippers as she placed some files for me to take a look.
James : Why you bring me things never wear heels one ah… is cartoon slippers…
Sandy : Aiyah… uncomfortable to wear whole day… you only 1 desk away… slippers can la…
James : But I like to see you in heels … haha
She smacked me with her file and went back to her seat.
From that day on, she made sure she wore her heels whenever she came over.
Right down the seat from Sandy sits Hakim.
Hakim is a problem. He always arrive at work well past 10 and leaves on the dot. It was something Mr Liew had spoken to him 2 weeks into the new job but he still kept at it. HR says he’s a ok worker with some family problems and the boss was willing to turn a blind eye to it.
It did not sit well with Mr Liew though. Hakim is careful with his work, he’s been with the company for close to 8 years, the only issue was that he’s always distracted.
Sometimes his mind would just drift off and stare into blank space.
On certain days, I would find him sleeping, nodding off at his seat, even more surprising though is that he never made any mistakes in the stuff I asked him to help me do.
It was always a 100%
Perhaps it was because of this the Boss was willing to turn a blind eye.
Hakim too was transferred from the other office, his transfer was recent, only a few months ago I heard after my wife Belinda came on board. Belinda had this thing for being punctual and it really irks her that Hakim is late most of the time yet he had the cheek to leave at 6pm.
And because of his recent transfer, he still had a ongoing project that he’s helping Belinda with.
It’s like a timed event.
After Terry comes over and find trouble with Sandy, Belinda would come over and scold HaKim. I bet both of them head down to a café for their tea break after that.
Hakim is huge, he’s like a 100kg on a 1.9 frame. I would not have the balls to talk to him in that manner if I was Belinda who only stands at 1.6m. Hakim’s sneeze could probably lift her slender frame of 43KG off the ground.
I cannot imagine if he actually hit her. She would go right out the window.
That would never happen though.
Hakim is like a gentle giant. He may be big, but he’s actions are gentle and slow. Almost like that watching a display of Silat. Gentle but firm.
He is also a nice guy, always smiling.
Belinda always like to disturb him nearing his prayer timing on Fridays. It if was me I would get really irritated but it never fazed Hakim. He was always calm no matter how Belinda ruffled his feathers.
Moving on down the line, we have Alex. The youngest member of the team.
He’s fast. Really fast.
I could give him something in the morning that would probably take 2 days to do and he could send it over to me by mid afternoon on the 1st day.
There’s just a problem.
It’s full of mistakes. I would waste a ton of time tidying up his work before asking him to do it again.
And Alex, stays really late.
He’s punctual, I got to give it to him.
Alex is in the office at 8am sharp everyday, rain or shine.
He would only leave at 10.30pm.
Sounds like a good worker right ? No.
He’s got nothing to do, he would still stay till 10.30pm so he can take a cab back home base on company policy. He would surf the net, watch youtube, have his dinner.
And his cab fare is eating into my project budget. That’s like 600 a month for his cab fare alone.
I massaged my head as I looked at the figures and stuff I need to deal with.
Then there is still uncle Tong. The oldest member of the team.
If you discount the speed at which he does things, he’s actually quite good.
He’s just slow.
I cannot blame him but sometimes when you need things fast, it’s really painful.
Something that would take no more than 3 hours, Uncle Tong would take 2 days.
Thankfully it has no mistakes. If not I would probably roll up and die.
He’s also a loner, I don’t know where he goes for lunch but he would just disappear. Sometimes he would appear out of nowhere from behind some cupboard or room without a word.
He’s known for startling people in the office because he’s so quiet.
Silent steps and asset of wrinkled deep gazing eyes.
It’s no wonder he has not much friends in the office.
I tried talking to Mr Liew about this but he asked me to handle it.
He’s tied down with bringing in new jobs for the team or we would all be dead in the water soon. There is a couple of jobs we’re working on but the team is bleeding money.
3rd June 2011
Friday
8pm
I was having a drink with Mr Liew across the road from our office and he says he’s confident with a job he’s bidding for. The client knows him well.
Mr Liew : I’m just worried if we can handle it given the state of the team.
I gulped down my beer and lifted up my hand.
James : There’s Sandy…which Terry is bothering. … then there’s Hakim… which….
I quickly held back from saying ‘my wife’ .
James : Which… Terry’s girlfriend is bothering…
I counted off Alex, ticked off Uncle Tong and looked at Mr Liew.
James : Bro… we cannot handle a big project with this team… not in this state…
He looked at me and replied.
Mr Liew : What did I teach you on your first day at work ?
He continued.
Mr Liew : Find the root of the problem…..then solve it…
James : Ok… ermm… fire the team… we hire from scratch….
Mr Liew laughed and said he could see the potential in the team.
Mr Liew : We just need to make it work…
James : How ?
He laughed and asked for the bill.
Mr Liew : I leave this to you…. Fix it James…. You’ve never let me down before….
James : Wa Liew…
He signed the bill and threw the receipt at me.
Mr Liew : Fix it James… I mean it….. you have 3 months…I don’t care if you have to sleep with Sandy….. which I know you do… you fix it…
He checked his watch and said he got to go.
Mr Liew : Weekend… family time..
I watch him leave the pub and I drained my beer.
Ok… now I just need to figure out how to get Terry to stop harassing Sandy, Hakim to focus and come to work on time, Belinda to stop harassing my team member, Alex to wake the fuck up, Uncle Tong to miraculously speed up on the things he do.
I sighed and leaned back on my chair.
The server came over to clear my empty mug and asked if I would like some dessert or more drinks. I shook my head.
Waitress : Piece of cake sir … Perhaps ? ?
I smiled
I was about to say no when I saw Sandy in her Yoga outfit walking towards the office.
It’s coming to 8.30pm
She’s a bit later than usual that day.
I saw her head into the lobby and decided to get her something.
James : I’ll take that piece of cake… pack it up for me please..
I paid for it and was about to cross the road over to my office when I saw something interesting.
Terry appeared from round the corner and he too went into the lift lobby.
I crossed the road and took the lift up to the office.
I got another shock when I saw Alex at the entrance all packed up and ready to go.
He’s leaving early that day.
James : Eh… going already ah…
Alex : You better go too…. Don’t stay here.
He nodded his head over his shoulder towards the office and I walked over to check it out.
From across a distance, I could see Sandy sitting down on her chair, her arms crossed while Terry was gesturing wildy at her.
I kept out of sight but close enough to hear what they were talking about.
Terry : You moved right ! you moved out without telling me !
Sandy : Why should I tell you anything !… who are you to me !…
Terry : I am still paying rent for that place.. !!
Sandy : Then don’t… I don’t need your rent, your money… just fucking leave me alone.
The argument got heated and soon Sandy was on her feet.
Sandy : Go and fuck your new girlfriend !…. leave me alone for fuck sake…
Terry : What I do it none of your business….she’s better that you…
Sandy : Good!… then go to her… stop harassing me … you think I don’t know you always come by my place… with the spare key ? You think I don’t know what you were doing ?? har !
Terry :That was our place !! .. my place !… I paid for the rent…! ..
Sandy : No one forced you to …
The quarrel went on and soon, they were pushing each other, jabbing on each other’s chest.
This would spiral out of control soon.
I wanted to do something but I don’t know what.
In the end I did the only thing I could.
I called Sandy’s phone after moving further away from the office closer to the lift lobby.
I could hear her loud ringtone from where I stood.
A few seconds later she answered.
Sandy : Yes James ? …
James : Sandy …. Do you happen to be in office ?… i was on my way back to office and I bumped into Alex at the train station..… He says you’re still there….can you help me check if I left the blue file with the project brief on my desk ? ……
Sandy : Hold on… Yup… it’s here…
James : Thank god… I thought I left it at the restaurant…. Ok thanks… I’ll head back to grab it.
Sandy : Oh… you’re coming back up…. Ok… see you..
I hung up and disappeared into the staircase landing.
I peeped through the small vision panel and I saw Terry walking out a minute later, looking a little irritated.
After waiting for the lift to chime and signal his departure, I left the staircase and walk over to Sandy.
Sandy : Here’s the file James…
She smiled but I could still tell she looked a bit upset.
James : Here… Have some dessert…
I placed the piece of cake on her desk and came clean, telling her I heard them quarrelling and that I called her in an attempt to make it stop.
Sandy : It’s ok James… thanks… I’m just….very sick of his constant harassment…. He keeps stalking me… what I’m doing…. It’s like he refuse to move on…. He kept accusing me of not moving on because I still love him….
James : Doesn’t he already have a new girlfriend ? … why is he still bothering you…
Sandy went on to say that he keeps a close tab on her life, he would secretly visit her place when she’s out.
Sandy : He says as long as I say it, he will consider having me back… but not as a girlfriend because he is already with that Belinda….. he ask me to be his lover…
Sandy : I told him it’s not possible…he says as long as I’m not attached…. He still believes he stand a chance…
I raised an eyebrow before nodding slowly.
Like that also can ah, there’s really all sorts of people in this world.
Sandy : Sigh… sorry James.. I shouldn’t bother you with all this… thanks for the cake…
She turned away and went back to her terminal, clicking away as I looked at her body. The way her legs crossed. Her slender arms and long fingers.
There’s a small mole behind her left ear. Something about it that turns me on.
James : So…. To sum it up…. He’ll stop once you’re attached right ?? ..
Sandy turned around and looked at me before she burst out laughing.
Sandy : It’s ok James…. Don’t bother volunteering yourself… I don’t want to get you into trouble… haha..
James : Wah.. you can read my mind… haha..
I thought about it for a moment before I make her preposition.
James : Well…. We’ll just have to make it seemed as if you are attached when in fact you are not then….
Sandy thought about that for a while and asked.
Sandy : Can you do that ??
I gave her a wink.
James : I’m James…. What can’t I do ?
…………………………………….
Sandy laughed and waved me off.
Sandy : Don’t joke la…
James : Have a nice weekend… go back and rest ok… leave this to me…
She laughed and thanked me for the cake.
6th June 2011
Monday
9am
I got into office and I saw Sandy putting her head down on her arms to catch some rest.
James : Hey… you ok ??
When she looked up at me, I could see she has a bit of dark circles around her eyes. Despite the light makeup she had on, you could still tell she’s tired.
Sandy : Terry…. He’s bothering me at my new place…
James : As in what ? he keeps knocking on your door or something… ?
She shook her head.
Sandy : He’s just being creepy, I see his car being parked at my place the carpark…. But I can’t see him anywhere….. then out of nowhere, he would call me and I would jump.
She began by saying that she got so paranoid that she kept peering out her window every now and then but still sees Terry’s car at the carpark. It would freak her out so much she rather not leave the house.
Needless to say, she did not get much rest or sleep over the weekend.
James : Go and tell Terry’s girlfriend…. Ask him not to bother you…
Sandy : Haha… it’s not simple… Terry… he’s very scheming… he always make things out in such a way he’s he good guy…. He will surely have something to say about that…end up will make me look stupid…
I thought about it for a while before going back to work.
Meetings kept me busy for most of the day till about 4pm.
I saw Terry came into the office with a few boxes of muffins and he passed it to the receptionist.
Wah, free snack for afternoon tea. This I would not miss out. Grabbing my coffee cup, I headed to the pantry just as the receptionist Lisa is arranging the boxes on the narrow counter.
She opened up 1 box and stack the other on the lid of the 1st before opening the 2nd one and so on. This would save quite a bit of space since the counter is pretty small.
Lisa : Lai lai James… eat…. Terry buy one…
James : Of course… thank you… thank you…
Lisa turned and happen to see the water dispenser was empty and she asked if I could help her grab a bottle out from the storeroom and change it.
James : Sure..
Lisa : Thanks !
I left my cup on the counter and opened the storeroom which is right by the side of the water dispenser. It’s a old storeroom, cramped full of stuff. You cannot even open the door fully, which meant I can’t leave it with the bottle in my hand. It’s too tight to even accommodate the wide of my shoulders and the bulky bottle.
I squeezed myself in and grabbed a bottle of water.
Suddenly I could hear some voices outside and I recognised it as Terry and Sandy.
Sandy : Why were you at me place the weekend ?
Terry : You’re mad… why ? I cannot park my car there is it ? You own the HDB carpark ?
There was a angry silence as I kept really still inside the storeroom.
Terry : Try the muffin… it’s nice… hmmm… this cheese flavour is fantastic…
I could hear him munch on the muffin as Sandy went to make her coffee.
Suddenly Sandy screamed.
Sandy : AHHH!!!..
The sound of boxes crashing down rang out and I could hear Sandy’s cup fall against the table.
Sandy : What are you doing !! ? Why did you throw your muffin !
By then the commotion attracted a few other colleagues and I could hear Lisa and Sharon talking in the pantry as well.
Lisa : Aiyo…. What happened….
Sharon : Oh no… get Auntie Fang here to clean up…
Terry spoke next and it made my blood boil to hear the words that came out of his mouth.
Terry : Haizz… Next time be more careful Sandy… now everyone no need to eat already…
Sharon : Aiyah… this muffin nice one leh… I was still hoping to eat…
Terry : Nah… go and buy another round Sandy… it’s your fault..
I could not believe what I was hearing.
Sharon : Thanks ah Sandy… buy more chocolate ones…
I could hear Sandy stomping out of the office in her heels as the crowd dispersed.
I waited a while more before I heard Auntie Fang comment in Hokkien that it’s so wasteful.
She was picking them up and said she wanted to keep them and eat but I stopped her.
Auntie : Still can eat one…
James : Auntie… wait you stomach ache… who bring your grandchildren to school…?
She thought about it for a while and relented after I told her Sandy is buying a new batch.
6.00pm
I went over to Sandy’s desk and asked if she’s game to stop the harassing once and for all.
James : I can’t say it will work 100% but it’s a good mind fuck nevertheless.
She gave me a puzzled look and as I outlined to her what I have in mind, a smile slowly broke out on her face and before long, she was laughing and smacking her thigh.
Sandy : Let’s try it then… haha..
Mr Liew came over a while later at 7pm before he left and said.
Mr Liew : What are you up to James…. This is a office ah… your boy girl relationship please don’t play here….
James : Don’t worry… I’m just doing my job…
He gave me a frown and asked me to send him some documents and he will review them at home.
10th June 2011
Friday
10am
As much as we want to put the plan into motion, we cannot do it immediately.
If something happens out of the blue, it might seem a little suspicious. This was why i waited a week.
It’s Friday . Belinda would usually come and disturb Hakim because she gives him his assignments on a weekly basis and they’re due on Friday. From where I sat, I had a clear view of everyone coming in and going out of our office wing.
Whereas for the rest of the team, they all had their backs towards the entrance in a straight line.
10.15am
Belinda did her usual 10 minutes talk with Hakim in a impatient manner.
Belinda : You only just came into office ? We start work at 9 you know…. I have been looking for you the whole morning…. The file you send me…. The file name wrong spelling…
I rolled my eyes and went back to work, keeping a close eye at the entrance.
I was to warn Sandy when Terry comes in.
10.30am
Terry walked in with a file in his hand and I sneezed into a napkin a couple of times. That was the que.
Sandy caught it immediately and quickly picked up the phone and pretended to speak softly into it.
Sandy : oh…. Ermm…. Yes ….
Terry got right up behind Sandy and waited for her to hang up.
Sandy : Ermm.. yes I’m in office…. Oh ok… just leave the delivery at the reception….thank you…
When Terry did her usual stunt of asking her about stupid and trivial admin stuff, Sandy just nodded with a smile without protest.
She did not frown, she did not seem like she was affected by Terry, more so of just wanting to get it over and done with.
Her nonchalant attitude seemed to affect Terry as he seemed to be lacking some insults that day.
I checked the time, I had made arrangements for flowers and gifts to be sent to Sandy that afternoon.
99 roses and a bottle of wine.
Yah I paid for it but I’m going to claim it from Mr Liew.
It’s about making a statement.
Sandy went back to her work after Terry left.
12 Noon.
The commotion has started.
I can hear Lisa and Sharon talking about the flowers from the pantry.
Lisa : Wah… chio leh….
Sharon : Wah… like that a couple of hundred leh… who give one…
I had already prepared the story for Sandy.
Sandy : No la… friend only ….Developer’s son..
Lisa : Wah… where you know one…
That was enough to sow the deceit and fan the flames of rumour
By 3pm, news had spread throughout office that a developer’s son had given Sandy 99 roses.
Auntie fang told me someone would be coming to propose to Sandy later and I almost burst out laughing.
5pm
Terry burst into office. He looked mad and upset.
He walked towards our table and I notice he could not tear his eyes away from the roses and wine. He looked like he wanted to talk to Sandy but held back. I tried to keep a straight face but I still found it funny.
5.50pm.
Sandy started to pack up her bags.
6pm
Sandy got up and immediately left work on time, skipping her usual schedule of yoga.
As expected, Terry came looking for her barely minutes after she left.
Terry : Where is Sandy ?
James : Oh.. she… answered a call … then took her bag and left… think her friend picking her at the drop off point…..just leave only….
Terry : ok thanks..
I held back a chuckle and shut down my computer.
Mr Liew : Tonight no happy hour ah ?? …
I smiled and gave him a wink.
James : I’m working tonight….
I pulled out a small trolley suitcase from under my desk and rolled out to the lobby.
Instead of taking my usual route to the train station, I walked in the opposite direction, crossing the road towards the HDB blocks at Everton park.
I walked towards the ATM where a lady with 99 roses waited.
Sandy : Why so long… heavy leh…
James : Got people give you roses still want to complain…
Sandy : No one gave me so many before mah.. haha…
I checked the time and looked back at Sandy
James : Are you ready ?
She nodded.
We walked towards the carpark and I unlocked a Mercedes C class I rented for the weekend.
Yes I kept the receipt.
Claim from Mr Liew.
We drove back to Sandy’s rented place in Hougang avenue 7. She rented a flat there on the 3rd floor. It gave her a direct view of the carpark from the kitchen and her bedroom window. Given a choice, she would want to just rent a room but she wanted the privacy, so she splurged a little on the old 3 room flat, spending almost half her pay on it.
James : Very fast hor… the moment you move out… Terry knows…
Sandy : He knew the moment I updated my address with HR.
I laughed and established the loyalty of Sharon and where it lies.
We went in slow into the carpark, just to be sure. Sandy said Terry’s car is nowhere to be seen and she directed me to park at the very spot he parked over the weekend.
James : Don’t worry, I doubt he’s here last week… probably just parked his car to rattle your cage.
We got out and I directed Sandy to leave the roses in the car.
James : Take off your cardigan ….
She narrowed her eyes and gave me a look as she folded her arms.
James : Take it off.
She removed them, revealing a pair of creamy arms, she had on a sleeveless dress that day. Dark grey, with some black trimmings.
Sandy : Stop looking ok…
James : free show why not ??
She threw the cardigan at me and I caught it.
Sandy : Now what…
I brought it to my nose for a sniff.
James : Hmmm… nice..
Sandy : JAMES!!! TSkk… sick…
I laughed as she came over and hit me on my arm.
I left Sandy’s cardigan in the back seat.
Using my index finger, I gestured for her heels.
She made a face with her mouth and took them off.
Sandy : Don’t you dare smell it James. ! ..
I laughed and I dropped 1 in the back seat and 1 in front.
I threw a bag of opened tissue and a condom wrapper on the floor.
James : Let’s go..
Heading up to Sandy’s place, I put a pair of men’s shoes outside the gate.
We entered the flat and closed the door.
The lights were off but we switched on a small lamp to cast a orange glow throughout the place.
We ordered Pizza, watched some TV in the living room and chatted.
I asked her about her relationship with Terry and briefly understood from her his character. The way he thinks. His manner in which he treats the people around him and beneath him.
Sandy : He has airs, very arrogant…. If he doesn’t think you are on par with him, he looks down on you…
After we’re done with dinner, we hung around in the kitchen in the dark, drinking a can of beer.
8.30pm
Sandy : He’s here… there… there…. His car…. Turning in…
I drained the beer and got ready.
This kind of people don’t give up easily . You would be naïve to think that just a simple trick like this would make it stop.
It would not but for a start, it would fuck with his mind.
That’s what we want to do.
Fucking with his mind and playing with his thoughts is a good start.
I quickly put on my shoes, grabbed my suitcase and got out of the house.
I took the stairs up a couple of floors and took up a observing position from an angle.
Terry’s engine remained running and he parked beside my car. His is a newer model, looks better too. It’s a S class after all.
I knew he would choose to park beside my car. It’s a ego thing.
As if sizing up your competitor.
What better way to show off by parking your car beside another one that screams mine cost about twice of yours. Besides, there’s a lesser chance of the car owner being a dick and ramming his car door into yours.
It would hurt everyone equally.
I watch him do a double take at my car.
There was no way you would miss the large bouquet of roses on the passenger seat.
I even threw a few petals on the dashboard and on the bonnet.
I watch as Terry peered into my car, no doubt taking in the scene and letting his mind run wild.
He suddenly turned and looked back up towards Sandy’s place.
My phone buzzed and vibrated.
James : Hello…
Sandy : I’m ready…
James : Ok…he’s heading up…
As Terry walked towards the flat, I unzipped the trolley case I brought along with me.
If this was a Hollywood movie or something you would expect perhaps stun grenades and a slick sniper rifle, maybe some bullets arranged in a straight line for visual effect but sorry, this is Singapore.
You cannot buy a gun off the mama shop around the corner.
I unclasped the buckle and looked at the stuff I have prepared.
It’s everything you can get from the mama shop at the corner.
…………………………….
I know what you have in mind as the box opened up.
A nice grey foam with cut outs of the items I bought and everything neatly tucked inside.
James box of tricks.
Don’t be ridiculous.
It’s just a old trolley that I could do without and could not be traced back to me.
It looks battered and old but the lock still works well.
I changed into T-shirt, and pulled off my pants. My boxers are actually casual shorts that day. I had planned for this.
I slipped on the slippers I brought along in the staircase landing and took out a pair of glasses and a cap. Everything took less than a minute. I took out the toothbrush and toothpaste and stuck it in the outside compartment together with a pair of shaver.
Sandy’s unit is located at the corner of the block, the estate has not been upgraded with lifts for every unit at the moment. The easiest way would be to take the stairs up 3 floors leading directly up to her place.
There would be where Terry would come up.
There was no need to run down the stairs or do anything drastic. Just play it cool.
I was already up 2 floors on the 5th, so I just went up one more to the common corridor which led to the lift lobby.
I pulled on a cap and put on a pair of glasses. I pulled up the handle of the trolley getting ready to roll. It would make a hell lot of noise along the black tar road towards my car.
I barely made it out of the lift when I got a message from Sandy that Terry was at her door and demanded for her to open up.
Sandy sms : He’s here already… are you ready ?
James sms : 10 seconds.
I exited the lobby and walked towards my car, dragging the trolley loudly. If Terry looked down , he would see the image of someone I pulled my cap low and head towards the driver seat.
Taking my time to open the boot, I casually glanced up from an angle as I loaded my trunk. I could see Terry staring at me from the 3rd floor. I wonder what was going through his mind when he saw me putting a luggage into my car.
Is Sandy moving out with me ? Or did I just finish moving in with her ?
I started the engine. I even revved the engine for a second before I put it into drive, just to irritate him .
No matter how expensive your car is, if you are not driving it, it still cannot move.
As expected, I saw Terry glaring down at me as he hit the railing with his arm.
Now would be the time Sandy opened the door.
It was all up to her.
I told her to act as if she was not affected by Terry’s visit. When she opened her door, she would be dressed only in her singlet without bra and her underwear. Her hair would be a little frazzled and above all, she needed to have that satisfied look on her face.
James : Don’t be afraid of him… don’t show you are bothered…. Say your boyfriend will be back soon…. Ask him what he wants… act as if you just had the best sex of your life….
Initially she was a little apprehensive about being dressed in that way but I told him that level of dressing would leave a lot to his own imagination. Let his own mind fuck with him. Jealousy would drive a man mad.
Anyway, there was nothing about her he has not seen.
That comment earned me a little slap on my face albeit a playful one.
I turned out of the estate and made a round to the next, parking at the other carpark and waited.
I sat still and waited for Sandy’s call. She was to inform me once she got rid of Terry.
It’s been more than 10 minutes, there was still no word from Sandy. I gave her specific instructions not to engage him for too long. Just close the door and ignore him if he loiters around.
Another 5 minutes passed and still no word from Sandy. I was beginning to get a bit worried when my phone rang.
Sandy : He’s gone, but he’s waiting at the car park…. He say he wants to see who you are.
James : Haha.. what did you tell him…
Sandy : I said you went out to get more condoms… but he did not believe me… he thinks I’m just trying to spite him…
I chuckled and told Sandy to get make sure she can see where he is.
My plan was simple.
I would be driving the car back into the carpark, but this time round, I would put up the magnetic sunshade on the windows, it would effectively block Terry’s view of who is in the car to a certain degree.
It’s already at night, with the slight tint on the glass and the sunshade, there was no way he can see who I am.
Sandy would get ready, once I’m in the carpark, she would get into my car and off we go.
We can easily lose him on the road but along the way, if he would see us from behind, he will only see Sandy and I kiss each other. I had checked with Sandy if she was comfortable with that and she said it’s just my ploy to get fresh with her.
Sandy : If really necessary, we’ll do it…
Well that was what I’m counting on. I won’t pass up a chance to be naughty with Sandy.
That should be enough for a start to fuck with his mind. Imagine seeing your ex-girlfriend in the car in front of you kissing another man.
It would not have mattered actually. Especially not if she’s your ex-girlfriend but not for Terry. He’s the one that cannot let go.
Sandy : Are you turning back in ?
James : Yup, be there in 5 minutes… get ready.
As I turned into the estate, I could see Sandy coming out of the staircase and walking towards the drop off point. I had no doubts that Terry would see her. It’s right in front of him.
He parked his car directly in front of her stack of flats, taking over my old lot.
There cannot be anything more childish than that coming from a close to 40 year old man.
Sandy had changed into a tube dress. I did not expect that.
I was thinking more along the line of “ she told her boyfriend her ex is bothering her, then she just comes down in her sleep clothes, maybe with bra on and get in the car to get away “
Something simple at that but no.
Besides changing into the tube dress, Sandy had put on a pair of heels. They looked nice and sexy on her but it was not practical.
Even before it happened, my heart started to beat faster.
I could literally imagine it before the action starts.
Terry would definitely see my car the moment I stopped at the drop off. He would be on the ready.
My heart started pounding when I saw him start his engine.
I accounted for the event he came out of the car but I did not think of the possibility of him blocking our way with his car.
James : Fuck !…
I could read his mind as I see the headlights come on.
Sandy probably felt something was wrong and she started running towards me.
And damm those fucking heels. Hell they looked good but there’s no way she can run in them.
She struggled to get towards my car and I could already see Terry’s car pull out of the lot.
Everything was happening at the same time.
Sandy desperately running towards me.
The head of Terry’s S class starting to turn.
It’s ok. His car can block the exit, I can still reverse out. I had all 4 sunshade up on the window, leaving only the front and rear windscreen.
Then another pair of headlights lit up the entire interior of my car from behind for a moment before it dimmed as the car level out on the slight ramp.
James : FUCK! …
The passenger door opened at that moment and Sandy literally jumped into the car the moment Terry screeched to a halt in front of mine as I locked all the doors.
Sandy : Shit !… James… How…
The taxi behind me was alighting some passengers and he too was wedged into the drop off by another car behind him but none of us could move.
We were all blocked by Terry.
Terry’s door opened and Sandy panicked.
Sandy : Shit… shit.. James… how !!.. how !!…
I needed to block my face.
He cannot see who I am.
I turned towards Sandy and I pulled her over to me.
James : Come over… Block me with your…………
I wanted to use the kiss we discussed.
She did agree to a kiss.
With my cap on, and Sandy’s hair, we might stand a chance long enough for the impatient drivers behind to start honking at Terry to move. Once he did, we’ll be free to go, but no.
Things don’t go as plan.
They rarely do.
I was about to reach for Sandy’s cheek with my hand but she was faster. You see with a cap, I need to turn my head sideways so the brim don’t hit her face but Sandy panicked and she straddled me on the driver seat, her backside and back hitting the honk for a good 2 seconds before she settled down on my lap.
That honk started the frenzy.
As Sandy positioned herself to block me from Terry, she kept moving her body, rubbing her butt against my groin causing a massive erection.
The honk sounded a few more times as Sandy tried to see where Terry was and attempting to block me at the same time.
James : Ooff….
Terry was already walking towards us.
The honks of the cars behind started sounding too.
High beams started flashing.
It happened so fast that I had no time to react.
Right when the moment Terry pounded on the glass on the driver side of my car, Sandy grabbed my cap, pulled it off and pressed my face into her breast.
James : arhfffff…
I sucked in a deep breath of air filtered by Sandy’s breast. As I found myself pressing harder onto her, I realised she was not wearing any bra. My face was being pressed and bitch drag across Sandy’s full B cleavage.
Her tube top slid down a little more and the angry honks intensified from the cars behind me.
Terry : COWARD…. You fucking COWARD !! …
I could hear Terry shouting outside my car as he hammered on the windscreen.
I felt Sandy kiss the top of my hair as she tried to make it seem like we’re making out. As I tried to turn my head to the left to grab the cap Sandy had threw onto the passenger seat. Imagine my head turning anti-clockwise from the 12 o’clock position to 9 o clock position in my attempt to reach the cap but I did not expect Sandy to press her breast onto me again as Terry hammered on the door.
As I turned, my nose pulled down Sandy’s tube, exposing her right nipple as she gave a yelp. Her retreated a little but within half a second, she realised she would be exposing my face, she slammed her breast back into my face and I could feel her cradling my head as her nipple literally squeezed into my nostril.
James : arffmhmmm…
I tried to move but my face was being breast fucked by Sandy’s right breast.
I opened my mouth to tell her to ease up a little and it was another stupid mistake.
Her nipple brushed right across my open mouth and scratched across my wet open tongue, coating itself with my saliva.
Sandy : AHH!!…
I could hear more shouting and I assumed the taxi driver was the one shouting the vulgarities in Hokkien. He was also hitting on my car door but mostly he was cursing at Terry.
Terry shouted back at them before returning to his car angrily.
I pulled back for a much needed gasp of air and quickly gestured for Sandy to get off me.
Sandy struggled to get off, her leg dragging across my erection as she tried to cover her breast and pull up her tube.
James : Quick.. quick…
Sandy got off and adjusted her tube while putting the cap on me at the same time Terry reversed his car clear of the drop off. I immediately put the car into drive and pulled out.
Terry wanted to follow us but was blocked by the rest of the angry cars behind me honking angrily.
Even as I drove passed the cars that saved us, I could see them pointing the middle finger at us.
I stepped on the accelerator and made several turns within the neighbourhood before stopping at a quiet spot in Defu industrial estate.
I switched off the engine while Sandy and I panted in the car without a word.
Sandy’s hands were plastered on her chest , the same position she kept after she pulled up her tube dress.
Mine remained on the steering wheel.
20 seconds past and we did not speak.
My erection was still throbbing under my pants.
We turned to look at each other for a moment before we burst out laughing. We laughed and laughed till we had to hug our stomachs and wiped away our tears.
It was coming to 10pm.
Sandy’s phone was ringing and I could see Terry’s name on the phone.
She answered it and put him on speaker.
Terry : Why ? your boyfriend no balls is it… he no balls ah…. Har ??
Terry taunted and cursed over the phone.
Terry : Har ? He’s a fucking coward I tell you… why ? don’t care to talk man to man is it…. Fucking hiding inside his car….. he no balls I tell you….. he got no fucking balls…
Sandy kept quiet as Terry went on with his tirade.
Terry : Are you enjoying yourself with him ? har ? you like to fuck a man with no balls is it… ?
Sandy hung up on him.
I was about to tell her we can call it a night but Sandy got out of her seat and straddled me once again. This time round she made me move the seat back a little to give her more space.
James : What you doing…. Sandy… hey..
I watched in horror as Sandy pulled up her dress, revealing a pair of cream white g-string.
Her hand fiddled with the phone.
James : Wait.. wait.. what you doing…. ??
Sandy : I want to send him a picture of this…
James : Sandy wait… wait.. there’s no need for this…
She pulled down my pants and positioned her cream gstring clad vagina beside my erected dick as she tried to take a picture.
Pushing herself up on the passenger seat, she tried to get back to the straddling position and I tried to move my fucking erected dick away so as not to impale her vagina.
I could feel precum seeping out from my dick. All the stretching caused her g-string to moved out of place a little.
She rejected Terry’s call the same time she tried to right herself up again to take the photo.
Her leg pressed painfully on my left pelvis and I yelped and lifted her a little but in that attempt I slipped down further.
Everything happened so fast.
There was nothing I could do.
Sandy’s tried to go for another shot but the phone rang again, my dick was right under her love hole. It’s ok, the most brush across and rub against it painfully.
She’s dry, won’t just slip inside like the movies.
I’m honestly more irritated with her than aroused despite my erection.
Suddenly Sandy shouted with a yelp and she dropped her phone. I felt the full weight of her sit down without warning onto my waiting dick and I shouted in pain too.
I could feel myself pushing painfully against the dry slit of her pussy. I kept trying to work my way out of the position, but I ended up rubbing against Sandy’s slit and g0string.
Our car lit up and I could see a police car parked behind us with the flashing lights.
Sandy : Shit.. shit..
James : Stop moving… stop moving…
Sandy’s phone rang angrily.
Her hands went to my shoulder for support before holding onto the seat behind me to lift her body up. I suddenly realised the fan speed for the aircon was blasting too. We must have accidentally hit it while moving around.
I saw Sandy’s body shivered and her nose twitched before her eyes blinked.
Her entire body shook as she gave a small sneeze. The sneeze somehow aligned the position of my dick and her vagina and I felt my dick head pushed in a little into her vagina.
Sandy’s eyes opened wide in shock as she stared helplessly at me.
She tried to push herself up but it happened again.
Another sneeze.
Her body shook, I could feel her vagina squeeze on my dick as her muscles contracted around my mushroom head.
Sandy tried to speak but could not manage a word.
It’s not as dry as I thought.
I could feel the warmth slowly creeping up on my dick.
Shit.. it’s happening and I saw Sandy braced her body for another sneeze.
The last was the hardest and as her body shook, her eyes closed, her hands gripped down painfully on my shoulder as she fucked herself down onto my erection.
Sandy’s mouth gasped open as we stared at each other in shock.
Neither of us moved as I swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
That tight warmth and the comforting weight of her slender frame felt out of this world.
Her phone rang angrily again as the officers blast their siren once before I saw their car door open.
I tried to calm down and Sandy tried to fight off another sneeze.
James : Get up… before we both get arrested. ….
Sandy pulled herself up and I felt that heavenly drag of her wet tight pussy against my hungry dick.
I immediately put up a hand to indicate I’m sorry and we’re moving off as we put the car in drive.
I pulled out of the industrial with my pants down.
Before we exited onto the main road, I pulled up my shorts and looked at Sandy.
She had her head turned away towards the passenger seat window.
James : ermm… it’s not my fault ah… it’s…
Sandy : Shut up James… I don’t want to hear it.…
I parked at another carpark before I changed back into my work clothes. Walking back to Sandy’s estate, I made sure Terry was no longer loitering around before I gave her the green light to go back home.
It was coming to 11pm by the time we were at her front door.
As she unlocked her gate, she paused.
Sandy : Don’t you dare tell anyone what happened…
James : Nothing happened Sandy… nothing happened….
She went in and turned around to look at me.
She looked away for a moment before focusing back on me.
Sandy : So… we going ahead with the rest of the plans ?
I smiled and nodded.
James : Why not ?

Thank you for the kind words and comments.
Hope you would enjoy this one.
Final update before the weekend.
Next one on Monday.
