I shook my head and started to pull away from Aliya as she teased me.
Belinda ran into the bathroom and grabbed me a towel.
James : So that’s it… I’ve done everything..
Rasid : No… you have not…
James : I’ve fucked every hole possible…I’ve….
Rasid laughed and cut me off.
Rasid : But… you did not cum… which means… I get to cum… with Belinda….
Belinda and I froze.
James : But I already did everything….there is nothing…
Rasid cut me off again.
Rasid : Oh…. Have a little imagination James…. I don’t need Belinda’s hands…her mouth…. Her pussy…. Or her ass to cum…. There are other ways… whahaha….
He gestured to the bathroom and asked me to wash up.
Rasid : Wash up James…. I enjoyed the show… I really did…. But for now… I need to…. Discipline my wife…. For enjoying herself with another man… whahahah.. haha…
He turned to Belinda.
He held up his phone to show me a screen of me fucking Aliya and I gasped in shock.
James : What are you doing !!!
Rasid : I could not help it… hahaha.. I want to see the show again… wahahaha…. Don’t worry… it’s be safe…. We arabs have very good encryption technology….wahahaha….
Rasid : As for you…. I’ll see you tonight ya Belinda…. After your dinner and dance…. I believed…you have some theme party going on…. School uniforms or something ? whahaha….
Belinda grabbed me by my hand and pulled me into the bathroom to wash up.
It was a funny and awkward sight.
There I was showering in the bathroom after fucking Aliya as Belinda waited by the side with a towel for me.
We got dressed and left the room.
We walked so fast to the lift lobby that we forgot to breathe.
Only after the lift door closed did we regain our composure.
The lift descended and we did not speak to each other.
This is fucked up.
James : I’m…. I’m sorry…. i…
Belinda : It’s ok James… I understand…
I don’t believe her.
How the fuck can a wife look at her husband do that and not be affected.
James : Belinda… i…
Belinda : I… don’t remember you being that good with your tongue though…
She folded her arms and looked at me from the side of her eyes and I laughed awkwardly.
James : ERgmmmmmhh … ahhaa..
Belinda : I’m… really ok…. I think…. We’re….. we’re separated after all…. It’s not like…
The lift door chimed open on the ground floor and we saw Mr Liew in front of us.
Before we could step out or say anything, he pushed both Belinda and me back into the lift and quickly jabbed at a random high floor until the lift door closed.
Mr Liew : Where did you 2 go !!! I’m been trying to find you. !!
We were shocked.
We just stared wide eyed at Mr Liew.
Mr Liew : I have no time to explain…. Mr Lau would be making a speech in a few minutes…. Everyone needs to be there…
Mr Liew grabbed my shoulder excitedly.
The anger was gone.
That irrational anger and spite was gone.
He seemed like a totally different person . He looked excited, happy and full of drive.
Mr Liew : It’s happening James… it’s happening….
James : What… what is happening… ?
Mr Liew looked at Belinda and me before apologising for earlier.
Mr Liew : I’ll explain in detail later but in a nutshell, a coup is happening…. We’re taking over the office…
Belinda : What ??
James : Huh ?
He gave a summarised version of Mr Lau wanting to retire and pass the reins over to Terry. It was something Omar and Rasid expected but they did not trust Terry.
That was the reason why they had met up in Cambodia the day before to iron things out.
Mr Liew : We were in regular contact for a while…. And for you James…
He said I would be working for Terry.
James : What ? Why ?
Mr Liew : Hahaha.. part of the plan James… part of the plan…..haha…
The lift chimed opened and Mr Liew closed it again to bring us down.
James : There’s no way Terry would take me…
Mr Liew : He would…he would… we fell out remember… I fired you ahahah… don’t worry… i have it all worked out…
I was speechless until he added.
Mr Liew : Actually…. I had other plans initially…more subtle…. which did not include such theatrics….but it was Omar and Rasid who suggested this.
Belinda and I stared at Mr Liew in shock.
Mr Liew : Ya… they suggested I fire you….says the desperation and anger would look convincing….ahhaa.. it sure did…
The lift was approaching the ground floor and he added.
Mr Liew : Don’t talk to me… I’m gonna remain the mean bastard you met earlier….
He turned to Belinda
Mr Liew : good job on the proposal…. It’s a good one… but that doesn’t mean i forgive you for stealing jobs from me yet… ahah…. but well done…
Then he alternated his finger between the 2 of us.
Mr Liew : You 2……. Dating or something ?? I don’t mind… just don’t let it get in the way of work…
As the lift door chimed to indicate we reached the ground floor, Mr Liew added that he wants to meet with us after the speech to go through some stuff but meanwhile, everything remains status quo.
The door opened and Mr Liew walked out in a huff.
Belinda and I remained in the lift, speechless and motionless.
The lift closed on it’s own and neither of us spoke.
When it opened again, we saw Omar standing by the entrance with his aides.
He spoke in Arabic to his aides and they walked off before he stepped into the lift with us.
Omar : Hi Belinda…..i heard…..you have a date with Rasid tonight….
He hit the floor of his suite and turned to Belinda as we watch the lift door closed, shutting the 3 of us in the small enclosure.
……………………………
I don’t want to split up wed and thurs portion but as i edit further, i felt it would not be as good if i were to leave out friday’s portion as well.
Would prefer to put it all up at once.
Will update once ready
Omar turned towards me and shook his head.
Omar : I’m disappointed James… if not for the fact I helped you a few months ago…. Belinda would have been taken right there and then…. You had a couple of months to talk to her and what?? You end up in a relationship ? Is that it ??
He tilted his head sideways and looked at me with a look that betrayed no emotions. It’s hard to tell if he was kidding with you or he’s fucking with you. I don’t know what to reply him.
Belinda : Omar… I know about that….. James told me that very night… I would not have agreed to it.
Omar smiled as he stroked Belinda’s hair and she backed away, moving closer to me.
Omar : Haha… I’m also disappointed with you Belinda…. You went to Rasid…. Before coming to see me ?? I might have offered you better terms no ?
Neither of us spoke until the lift chimed to indicate we arrived at the suite level.
Omar : Come… let’s have a chat in my room.
Belinda fell into step behind Omar and blurted out that we knew it was he and Rasid who suggested Mr Liew fired me.
Belinda : It was your doing all along…. !!! How could you !
Omar raised an eyebrow and replied as if he did nothing wrong.
Omar : Sure… I don’t deny that… but it was all for the big picture….. James needed to go over to the other side….
He paused and fiddled with his room key.
Omar : No one asked you to beg us for his job Belinda … hahha… if only you had a bit of patience to wait it out…. Mr Liew would have told you about the plan anyway…..
He spread his arms apart and looked at Belinda with a smile.
Omar : Am I wrong to say that… ??
Omar unlocked the door and invited us into his room.
James : Fuck this Belinda… let’s go..
Belinda shrugged me off and insisted on reasoning with Omar.
Belinda : Bullshit… you knew you would…..
She was cut off by Omar who offered her a drink from the fridge.
Belinda : I thought you are not allowed to drink….
Omar : I pour vodka in my tea pot and drink them in broad daylight back in my country…. Anyway…
Omar : Yes… yes… I admit…. It was to force you…. So ?
He gave a really charming smile and acted like everything was fine as he poured both of us a drink.
Omar : I could give you everything you ask for Belinda… haha…
He went on without bothering to see if we were even listening. He knew we would be.
Omar : A place to stay ?? I have units at Icon…. Just across the road… if you want somewhere out of town …. Mt Sinai ? no ? … what about… novena ?? …. You like the beach ? Bayshore ?….. sorry no Sentosa though…. It’s overhyped…. I could get a private island with that kind of money…. Anyway… my point is…
He handed a glass of wine to Belinda.
Omar : I want you… and…. Everything I want…… I get… it’s a matter of time… I know you Belinda…. I know you would not accept my offer of a house,….. money… oil…hahah….because the thought of this arrangmenet simply disgust you…..
Belinda kept quiet, her jaws tightly clenched.
Omar : You see…. It is exactly girls like you who would refused my offers that intrigued me….
He tried to search for some other description as he waved his hands in mid-air before deciding to continue.
Omar : As much as I would loved to have you safely tucked away in a nice place waiting for me whenever I’m in Singapore, I am a practical man…. You are no such women…. And you never would be….. which is why….. I’m proposing an alternative….
I grabbed Belinda’s hand and made our way towards the exit.
James : Fuck this… seriously… this is bullshit… let’s just go…
Omar : What do you think will happen when Terry takes over James ? …. If… Terry takes over…
I paused and looked at him.
Omar : You think… your colleagues would still have a job ? …. You think… you can really concentrate on this masterplan ?…. Mr Liew ?? His wife and kids….? Your friend and his elderly mum ? ….. the young kid…. The old man ?? And of course… the sweet little girl Sandy…. Yes… yes…. I know all about them…..
He added that he’s going to be investing a lot of money in the project and he likes to make sure he knows everyone that would be working on it.
Omar : And you two…… you….. two…. Hahhaa
He sniggered and shook his head.
Omar : Husband…………… and wife…….. Formerly…… from what I gathered….
He chuckled and said that he was surprised we managed to keep it under wraps for so long.
Omar : No one knew…. not even Rasid… haha..
Belinda : We’ve separated…. It’s been years….
Omar smiled and shrugged his shoulders, saying that it just makes
everything more interesting.
Omar : That’s besides the point… but just to let you know Belinda….. the excitement of…. Having you…. A married women….. turns me on another notch…. Haha….. ok… back to the big picture…
He pointed to Belinda .
Omar : Everything Belinda has done so far against Terry ? her past relationship with him….
He snapped his fingers and said we would be replaced within a month. His money would be fucked if Terry is running the project and there was no way he’s going to let that happen.
Omar : Besides… Rasid has James’s naked picture no ? hahah…
James : Go ahead… post it online… who gives a fuck about a naked man anyway…
Omar laughed and said he doesn’t do things like that.
Belinda finally asked the question Omar was waiting for as she shrugged my hand away.
Belinda : What do you want then…
Omar placed his fingertips for both hands against each other and smiled.
Omar : Rasid has a date with you this evening…. i shall not disturb him…. So that leaves tomorrow morning till I fly off in the evening…
A wide grin broke out on his face.
Omar : Make me happy Belinda…. And I will make sure this will never happen again.
James : Dear don’t..
I immediately caught myself but it was too late.
Omar : Dear ? My…. That’s a bit deep for a young relationship don’t you think ? hahah.. … you are no longer…. Husband and wife no ?
He gave a naughty look towards Belinda.
Belinda glared at Omar who sipped his wine and visually raped her body beneath her clothes. The thought of having someone who he could not buy with his money must be a new point of arousal for Omar.
Someone naturally radiant and beautiful, someone that refused his gifts, a girl who dared to say no to him, and not to forget, she is the wife of another man. The arousal comes not just from the impending act itself.
The very negotiation would have been a highlight of it’s own. I could see the budge in Omar’s pants as he lingered his gaze on Belinda’s full breast and her slim waist.
Belinda : Just once ?
He nodded with a grind and looked at his watch.
Omar : 6am tomorrow…. Till my flight at 4pm…. … James can stay by your side if you wished…
He refilled his wine and raised his glass for a toast, his eyes levelled at Belinda.
Omar : Don’t worry about James… Aisha is arriving in a few hours… I will make sure he’s properly entertained… haha… Rasid would not mind..
James : I don’t give a shit… I quit… i….
Belinda : I’ll do it.
James : What !…. wait…
Omar drained his glass with a clap of his hands as Belinda pulled me out the door and slammed it shut.
James : What the fuck was that ?? …. We don’t need this…
Belinda : Shut up James….
The moment we got inside the lift we started shouting at each other.
James : You’re out of your mind …. !
Belinda : I know what I’m doing !
James : You don’t !! …
Belinda : I Do!!!…
James : How could you agree to sleep with him !!!
Belinda : Well I watched you fucked Aliya didn’t I !!
That was all there is.
We said no more as the lift descended down to the ground floor.
As the door opened, Belinda added.
Belinda : Don’t think of us……. as husband and wife James….think of us as…. Just…. Close friends…. Aren’t we ??
She walked out before turning back to look at me.
Belinda : Stay with me James…. please… I don’t want to end up dead without anyone knowing in Omar’s room…. Rasid….is pretty screwed up in the head…. I’m pretty sure Omar would not be that far off…
James : Why can’t we just quit and get another job ?
Belinda smiled and looked away for a moment before folding her arms.
When she looked back at me 3 seconds later she added.
Belinda : The James….. I married…… he would never back down from a fight…..
James : The James you married… would never let his wife do this…..
Belinda replied with a smile.
Belinda : But we parted ways James…. we parted ways…
She turned and walked towards the café, leaving me behind in the lift.
I stepped out of the lift and I could see Sharon waving me over to the café.
The admin and HR staff were invited along for the post presentation lunch. After that they were tasked to go get ready for our dinner and dance together with the organisers. Team members from other teams were also present for the lunch and announcement.
There was a rumour going on that the boss would be handing out some form of a bonus of sort to thank everyone for the good work in the office so far.
Mr Lau : Is everyone here ??
I could see everyone gathering near Mr Lau. Terry stood like a proud peacock by his father’s side, even though he is taller and bigger, he looked like a child beside his dad.
Mr Liew had his arms folded with his grouchy face leaning against a table near the buffet spread
Sandy and the gang were looking moody as they sat at a corner. She exchanged looks with me as if she had something she wanted to say but she turned away a while later.
Mr Lau spent 3 minutes thanking everyone for the hard work and the usual bullshit before saying that it was time to hand over the reins to Terry since he’s getting on with age. The usual cock suckers from Terry’s team cheered and congratulated him as Mr Lau said the transition would be gradual, he would start taking a back seat and leave Terry with most of the decision making.
Mr Lau : I really appreciate all the effort everyone put in for the company…. And I hope you enjoy the dinner and dance party tonight. Before I wrap up the speech, finance department would be handing out a token of appreciation to all staff….. they will be past to your team leaders….
I switched off after that and when to sit down at the table assigned to our team and asked for a cup of coffee.
Hakim : Brother…. What is going on ??? You knew about Belinda’s model ??? Why never say anything ? Buay steady leh like that…..
James : It’s… it’s a long story…. I don’t know how to explain.
Uncle Tong and Alex joined Hakim but before we could get into a organised conversation, I heard Mr Liew’s voice coming over to the table.
Mr Liew : What are you doing at this table….. fuck off…
Uncle Tong : Liew… need to do until like that or not….
Hakim : Mr Liew…. Like that buay swee la…. We’re colleagues after all….
Mr Liew ignored their comments and stared at me until I got up on my feet and took my coffee to another empty table.
Alex : Eh… this is screwed up man… why need to do until…………
Mr Liew silenced everyone with his voice.
Mr Liew : None of you understood the gravity of this matter… I don’t want to discuss this further….just leave it at this…. If you are not happy… you can always leave…
No one spoke.
I could see Alex was very much tempted to quit there and then but I playfully slap him on his arm and ask him to sit down.
James : Got girlfriend already…want to go holiday right… want to buy things for her…. Think of the future….. calm down…
Mr Liew : This is yours Hakim….. Uncle Tong…. Sandy… Belinda….
He distributed the envelope with everyone’s name and Hakim was the first to open it.
Hakim : Wah…. Zhun bo….
Uncle Tong looked surprised too as he and Hakim looked at each other’s cheque. The amount is the same. Mr Lau gave everyone a one off bonus of 3800. An accompanying letter says that this is a one off special bonus with the usual admin crap and that it is not part of our performance bonus.
I could see 1 last envelope in Mr Liew’s hand.
He tore it up and I could hear my team member gasped
Hakim : ahhhh!!! …
Sandy : OH!!!
Mr Liew : He is no longer a member of our team…. He don’t deserve this…
Everyone looked at Mr Liew before turning to look at me.
I turned away, asking for a refill of my coffee and I saw Terry looking at us from one table away. Nothing could describe the look of pleasure and satisfaction in his face.
That cock sure fucked up look.
That same look that says he has beaten me.
I took a deep breath and braced myself for what is about to come.
Terry clapped his hands dramatically as he laughed.
Terry : Aiyoh….. poor thing…. No job… no money…. Hahhaa…. See you like this…. I really pity you James… hahha…
He walked over to my table and ignored the glaring stares of my team members.
Terry : Why ? Buay song ah ?? Not happy with what I said ??? you’re no longer with the company… walk out lor… hahaha…
I was not in the mood to listen to his shit talk. I was thinking about Belinda and the evening ahead.
I stood up and suddenly my stomach growled.
It was quite loud and I realised I haven had anything to eat for a while. Terry heard that growl and laughed so loud.
Terry :Wah… you fucking drama king leh James…. kena fired then growl stomach in front of me… hahhaha…you hungry ?? you hungry ??? hahha…
He got up and took a plate from the buffet spread. He started piling it with bread. Only bread, cold hard rolls probably leftovers from the breakfast in the morning and set it down in front of me.
Terry : Hungry ah ??? eat… eat la… !!!!
I ignored him and was about to walk away when Terry taunted me.
Terry : Why ? Cannot swallow your pride ah!! Huh ?? no job still don’t know how to swallow your pride is it…
By then I guessed even Mr Liew who was trying to hold back his anger snapped and shouted at Terry, drawing the attention of the other staff in the café.
Mr Liew : It’s none of your business…. Are you hiring him ??? are you ?? if not then fuck off….
Terry stood up and challenged Mr Liew with a glare. I could hear Mr Lau asking the admin staff to break us apart.
Terry :I’ll hire him… so ?? I’m doing the interview now…. You don’t want him right??? Hahha… I hire him la… haha…
He sat down and slammed his hands on the table.
Terry : I’ll hire you James…. 1k per month… ai mai…. Hahhaa
Sandy could not bear the scene anymore and came over.
Sandy : Don’t go overboard hor !!… why you …
Terry cut her off with another sneer directed at me.
Terry : Wah.. James… got girl come and speak up for you leh…. You no balls to speak up is it…. Hahaha…. He totally ignored Sandy as Uncle Tong pulled her back.
Terry’s eyes widened and glared at me like a murderer about to strike his victim and he jabbed his index finger into the buns on the table several times, poking holes into a few of them.
Terry : Eat…!!!
I wanted to fucking punch Terry.
I really wanted to.
If you are reading this right now, tell me if it’s possible holding back against someone that behaves like this.
I would fucking knock his teeth in and go to jail for a couple of weeks right there and then.
A phone rang and shattered the uneasy silence on our side of the café.
Hakim : Ma……clinic.?? …… boleh.. boleh….
That call snapped me back as I heard Hakim said he needed to bring his mum to the doctor.
I needed to think of the big picture.
If the eventual plan was for me to work for Terry, this was the perfect opportunity. I could use this and go right over. I clenched my teeth and took a deep breath and kept repeating to myself.
The big picture.
The big picture..
Terry had opened up a few small tubs of butter and started smearing them all over the bun.
Terry : EAT!! Every one you eat…. 100 increment… !!! hahah… there’s 6 here…. Your starting pay … 1.6k….!!! EAT !
I picked one up and took a big bite as Sandy gasped. She ran over to my side and took away the bun.
Sandy : James !… don’t !
Terry : It’s none of your business bitch…let him eat !! hahah…
I took the bun back from Sandy and she stormed the carpeted floor before walking out of the café.
Alex : I cannot look at this…
I watch him walk out together with Uncle Tong.
Mr Liew : Stop eating that fucking bread James… and get out ….
I refused.
This was a golden opportunity.
Terry :Shut up la Liew…. I’m interviewing my new employee….. I treating him lunch… haha…
I took bites after bites of the buttery rolls as Terry sneered and laughed at me.
There was one last roll on the plate but before I could pick it up, Terry spit on it.
Terry : Pui !!!
It was not exactly a glob of spit, but rather just the motion of spitting and making the sound loud enough for all to hear.
Mr Lau : Terry … enough !…
Terry : I thought you said you were handing over the reins to me…. Hiring of staff… these are small decisions I can make….
He ignored his dad and pointed to the bread.
Terry : Eat !!
By then even the Chef of the café could no longer take it anymore. He walked right out, assistant trailing behind and he pushed apart the people surrounding the table.
Chef : This is my café…. These are food prepared by me and my staff… don’t insult my food…
He obviously directed his statement at Terry but Terry was too daft to realised it.
Terry : Hahaha.. see… see… even the Chef agrees with me…. Eat the fucking bread…
He took up the roll and pushed it into my mouth, smearing it against my lips and teeth before Apollo pulled Terry back as the bread dropped onto the floor.
The chef shouted at Terry but he just laughed it away. The manager of the hotel came and separated everyone.
Terry : You’re hired…hahah.. Sharon !!…
He asked Sharon to go prepare the appointment letter for me to sign right away.
Sharon :It’s Sunday !!… how you..
Terry insisted Sharon go do it immediately since the office is a short walk away.
Terry : Do it… or I’ll make sure your bonus cheque doesn’t clear….
Sharon stormed off as Terry laughed.
Terry : Start work tomorrow James…. Monday… hahahah…. I’ll see you at the dinner and dance tonight yah…. Hahaha….
I went to the bathroom on another level to clean myself up and washed my face.
When I came out, I saw Belinda standing by the corridor.
Belinda : Mr… Mr Liew… wants to talk to us….
I followed Belinda into the lift and she waited for the door to close before saying.
Belinda : Why didn’t you punch his teeth in James…
James : The Belinda I married… would never have said that…
Belinda : Haha…
She laughed before turning to look at me.
Her thumb pulled down my lip to check if I had any cuts and she brushed away some invisible crumbs from my shirt as the lift door chimed.
She let me to Mr Liew’s room and the door was opened.
I saw Mr Liew munching on some bread himself as his eyes widened and he spoke with his mouth full.
Mr Liew : You siao ah!!! Why did you eat the bread ??? !!!
He continued munching and continued.
Mr Liew : you Kong kum ah !! ? … I would have fucking punch him there and then… that chee bye….
James : But… but I was supposed to work at his team no ?
Mr Liew stuffed the roll into his mouth and I almost puke looking at him as he went on.
He told me that the plan was for me to be hired by Omar and Rasid after I was without a job. I was to serve as a coordinator of sort for the project, and that he would be rejecting me from the team, but the only way Omar would let us continue is if I was part of the team. Mr Liew would boot me from his office, only letting me handle insignificant stuff while I would start stealing jobs from him for Terry.
Mr Liew : You were not supposed to attend the dinner tonight… the office would be empty… it’s a good chance to go snoop around Terry’s office…. I wanted to discuss that with you initially but now…sigh…
Mr Liew : never mind… what’s done is done… let’s just play along…
He went on to give me the bonus cheque, I would still be paid my monthly salary but in cash, so he told me not to expect and CPF for the next few months until the dust settles.
Mr Liew : Full amount will still be given base on the contributions…
He spent the next 10 minutes telling me about his plan in general before asking if we had any questions.
Belinda : What if Terry finds out about this….
Mr Liew : He must not find out… I need a word alone with James…
Belinda nodded and left the room.
Mr Liew : James… stealing projects….from me…. For Terry would not be enough to win his trust totally…..
James : Then how ?
Mr Liew : I can tell Terry still likes Sandy…. Since he’s now no longer with Belinda…..
I looked at Mr Liew in shock as I digested what he said.
Mr Liew : Give him Sandy James…..he will trust you… like his right hand man…
………………………………..
James : WHAT !
Mr Liew : You’ve been through a lot today James… go have a good rest… I see you at the dinner later…
James : Wait.. wait..
He shuffled me towards the door and he picked up another bread from his plate.
Mr Liew : Nar bei… see you eat the bread also make me hungry….it’s quite nice….
He closed the door on me and I saw Belinda waiting for me at the end of the corridor.
Belinda : Anything that I need to know of ?
I shook my head and we parted ways at the lobby. Belinda said she would go back and grab some rest.
I went back to the café and Sandy hit me on my arm.
Sandy :Why did you eat that ?? you mad ar ?
James : I need a job Sandy… if not how…. You support me ah ? hhaa..
Sandy : TSK !! Can…. 3 meals only mah… how much can you eat…
I smiled and gave her the cheeky look.
James : I need more than 3 meals you know….. I also need…
She hit me on my arm and rolled her eyes before turning away from me.
I grabbed some noodles and barely sat down when Sharon stormed into the café with my appointment letter.
Sharon : NAH !!! SIGN !!
She was obviously pissed with Terry but chose to take it out on me.
Sharon : You annual leave only 5 days ah… Terry ask me change one…
I just signed and got it over with before she went over to Terry who was drinking wine with his team.
Terry laughed and gestured me over.
Terry : COME !! COME join us.!!! … everyone… my new dog !! hahahwhahaha…
I ignored him, finished my noodles, left the café and took a cab home.
6pm
I woke up feeling better and took a shower.
It was a little tight but I still manage to squeeze into my old uniforms, luckily I was into the senseless baggy top and pants back then. Now it was tight fit.
My white top budge up as I pulled it on, leaving the top 2 buttons undone as I look in the mirror. It’s been so long. I combed my hair back with gel and tried to give a really bad ass look before I chuckled at myself.
I tucked my shirt into my pants really tightly and took out my old JPG wallet. It used to be filled with nothing except a transit link card and a few dollars. The joke back then was that after you saved up for that wallet, there was nothing left to be put in it.
I took out my long sharp comb and slid it in between and slid the wallet into my back pocket.
I even took out my old Motorola Boss Pager with a shiny gold chain to clip it on my pants pocket.
As I walked out to hail a cab, I had several stares from passer by .
Even the cab driver commented I look very fashionable, if only it was in the 90s.
Driver : Party ah ?
James : Yah… company… old school night… haha…
7.15pm
I arrived at the hotel ballroom and I could see several colleagues milling around as the music spills out from within.
Hakim wore a white shirt and black pants.
Hakim : Gila la James… how to expect me to fit inside school uniforms…. Army uniform I also cannot fit… hahah…. Eh you chao ah beng in school is it ??
James : No la… I study the young and dangerous style… haha…
I saw Sandy approached from the end of the corridor and I could not take my eyes off her. She came from a convent school, and her blue pinafore looked really short that day. Her white blouse looked stretched too, her breast growing well beyond the size she was in school. The hem of her pinafore reached a good 3 inches above her knees and she wore sports shoes with white ankle socks.
Her hair was tied into a long pigtail and she carried a school bag with nerdy black specs.
Sandy :Hellow….. wah James… you ah beng la… haha…
Hakim : Ya lor… I say like the moment I saw him… haha…
Hakim waved hi to another colleague and went over as Sandy clasped her hands in front of me and look at me with the corner of her eye.
Sandy :Nice ??
James : I’ve never felt so… tempted by a school girl before…
She hit me on my chest and brushed back a stray fringe.
Sandy : Wait you go to jail ah…haha…
I put my arms around her shoulders as we walked towards the ballroom.
James : Ok… I see you not bad.. you can be my god sister…. Call me kor…
Sandy : Kor your head ah … I’m a few months older than you James… you can… be my didi…….
I raised an eyebrow and look at Sandy as she laughed.
It was free seating and we sat down to chat in a corner as the DJ played some old school music.
Terry came in his work clothes, well he used to be fat last time, I bet his clothes won’t fit him now, besides, school uniforms won’t match the 40k watch he’s wearing.
As more and more staff filled the ballroom, you could feel the party atmosphere heating up.
Music got a little louder, the lights were dimmed and a few colleagues started dancing.
Uncle Tong was dressed in his usual shirt and pants giving advice to Alex on his new relationship. Alex wore some cosplay type of clothes, something similar to what Japanese high school boys wore.
7.50pm
I was wonder where Belinda was when she walked into the ballroom.
A few heads turned and I could see the DJ staring at her.
Rasid stopped eating his steak and looked lecherously at Belinda, I could see Aliya checking her out too.
Belinda’s hair was tied up into a simple pony tail.
Her JC blouse still fits ok since she got them in a size larger back then. I felt an immediate stir in my cock as I look at her. The memories of us fucking in that very uniform came flooding back.
Of how she would wear it to the movies on a weekday morning, pretending to be a school girl skipping school, and how I would put my hand under her school skirt and make her wet the seat in the theatre.
I fondled her breast on the top of a double decker bus, I rubbed her wet slit at the void deck across her old school compound in the middle of the day as lectures end and floods of students came out.
I even fucked her in the school itself in her uniforms. It was really early in the morning, we wanted to do something crazy, back in those days where they don’t have cameras everywhere you turn, it was easy to find a quiet spot.
Belinda’s skirt ended high about her kneecaps, and she wore her canvas shoes with a pair of apricot coloured socks.
It was a simple JC school uniform yet it looked so good on her. Was it because of how tightly her breast push against the buttons on her blouse ?
Maybe it was how shapely her naked hairless legs look as it disappear into her show below.
Or maybe it was the gentle innocent demeanor in which she walked, a little unsure where to go.
I could even see Omar lost in thoughts as he smiled at Belinda.
Belinda caught sight of where I was sitting but the moment she saw I was with Sandy she walked away.
Sandy :Wah… quite chio sia… hhaa…James… how ?
James : What how ?
Sandy :Who more chio ?? Belinda or me ??
James : I’ll sleep with the both of you in your uniforms anytime…
Sandy gave me a playful slap before we continued our chat.
8.15pm
The organisers proposed some games and a few colleagues went up to try. Aside from the songs, the small prizes given in between, and a long boring speech by Terry on taking over the helm, there was nothing out of the ordinary about the dinner.
9.30pm
Drinks were flowing freely, and everyone mingled in the crowd, talking and chatting. Photos were taken and Aliya approached me with her sister Aisha in tow
Aliya : Hi James ….
James : Hi Aliya….
Aliya : Are you looking forward to this evening ?? haha…
Aisha : James… I heard a lot about you… hahha..
Rasid came over and joined us.
Rasid : whahaha… James… you look good… why kind of fashion trend is this ???
He briefly touched on how sexy he thinks Belinda is as he laughed with his wife in his hands when an announcement was made to say that the price for the best dressed prize would be announced.
The MC commented that the judge was our guest of honour, Sheik Omar.
MC : The winner of the best dressed competition, is a trip to a resort ….in…..Maldives !!!!
Even without looking I knew who Omar would choose.
MC : BELINDA !!!! YEAH!!!..
There was a loud smattering of claps as she walked up to receive the prize.
MC : It’s a ticket for 2 Ms Belinda… can you share who you would be bringing ?? haha…
Terry : ME..ME … BRING ME!!! Hahaha…
No one laughed at Terry’s joke and Belinda just shook her head shyly and said she had no one in mind.
Sandy : Sianz… if I win… I’ll bring you James…
James : Wah… really ah ?? hhaha…
Sandy : If you win leh ? Who you’ll bring ??
James : You say until like that already…. Of course you lor… haha
I did not read too much into this actually, it was the usual flirty banter Sandy and I got up to.
10pm
The party was coming to an end and some goody bags was given out to the staff. It was a work day the next day and everyone was looking forward to get some rest.
Everyone could grab some rest except Belinda and me.
10.15 pm
Rasid and Aliya gave me a wink before heading up to their suite. Aisha was not with them.
Rasid : See you and Belinda… in a while James…whahaha…
10.35pm
I was waiting for Belinda at the lobby when Sandy came along and asked if I was heading back.
Sandy : Oei… send me back can ?? I school girl leh… so late liao…haha..
As much as I wanted to, I was caught in a jam.
Sandy looked sincere and she was really sweet looking and all in her pinafore and uniforms. Her geeky spectacles, brought out another side of her that I never imagined.
James : Oh… I,…ermm …
Sandy : Why ? don’t want ah… it’s ok la… you waiting for who ?
Right at the moment I saw Belinda came out of the bathroom, she was wiping her hand dry on some napkins when she saw Sandy in front of me. She and Sandy exchanged looks before turning way.
Sandy :Ya la… Belinda more chio than me la… idoit…
She gave me a playful push and walked towards the taxi stand, grumbling that I’m not a gentlemen at all.
Right at that moment, Terry appeared out of nowhere and went towards Sandy.
Terry : Sandy … sandy …. I send you back… hey…
Sandy tried to U-turn back towards me before trying to make for the cab stand again but there was no cab in sight at the line and Terry caught up to her.
Belinda walked towards the lift and hit the button, about to head up to her room. Rasid had gotten her one to freshen up and rest till their date at 12 midnight.
Right when I was about to head over and join her, Sandy called out to me.
Sandy :…James !!.. James…!!.. you said you’re sending me back right ??
I paused in the middle of the lobby and I looked at Sandy and Terry who were both looking straight at me.
Sandy was already walking towards me.
I turned and saw the chimed of the lift announcing it’s arrival in front of Belinda.
The lift door opened.
Sandy walked briskly towards me.
Terry glared at where I stood.
Right when I thought nothing could get worse, Aisha appeared and cut in front of Sandy’s approach.
Aisha : Hi James…
Sandy : Who is she ?
Before Aisha could answer, Terry waltz over and said hi to Aisha.
Terry : Hi Aisha…
Before I could react, Sandy took the opportunity to grab my hand and pull me towards the exit.
I could see a cab pulling up to the hotel.
I turned just in time to see Belinda flash me a brief smile as she stepped into the lift.
It happened so fast that I had no time to react.
Sandy : Uncle… Hougang !…
James : Sandy wait !… i… i….
I turned back and was about to ask the cab to stop when Sandy said something which sent a chill right up to my bone.
Sandy :James…. I tell you something…. You don’t be angry ok….
James : What is it…
Sandy : Belinda…. she approached me earlier….
James : What ??!!!
I turned around and faced Sandy in the cab.
Sandy :She says…. Ermm… ask me to tell you…. You’re not her type…. So… stop trying to go after her…
James : WHAT !!!! ?
Sandy put a hand on my arm and said it’s ok to be rejected.
Sandy : She said you wanted to talk to her after the dinner… but she’s not really in the mood . not after what happened today…. And…. It’s awful to reject you……. Especially with what you went through in the afternoon…
I stared at Sandy in shock as I digested the words she said.
Sandy : You ok James ?… you need s shoulder to cry on or something ??
My shoulders slouched and I struggled to breathe.
James : Belinda…. asked you to get me away from the hotel ??
Sandy : Nodded… she said… you shouldn’t be there…. …
She smacked her thigh with a piak.
Sandy : Of course you shouldn’t be there…. I see that place I would think of what happened in the afternoon. …
By the time I snapped back to my thoughts, we were on the expressway.
Sandy’s phone rang and she was talking to her mum when I felt my phone buzz.
It was Belinda .
Belinda msg : Sorry James….i changed my mind…… you shouldn’t see this….
James msg : What are you talking about ? !!! I’m coming back… wait for me !!!
Belinda msg : I’ve been thinking James….I still love you….and I know you feel the same way….but if you see this…. You won’t want me anymore.. I’m switching off my phone….
I immediately tried to call Belinda but it was no use.
She had switched off her phone.
Sandy hung up her phone and stretched in the car, before leaning against my shoulder.
Sandy : The alcohol James… sigh…. You know what…. I think it’s your lucky day…
I turned to her and she gave me a playful smile.
Sandy : I always had this thing for ah bengs… haha…
I was frozen in the seat.
I really was as this creeping ache in my heart started squeezing and squeezing on my emotions.
Sandy’s eyes never left me and I could feel her fingers creep over too onto my right hand.
She smiled, wriggled her fingers under mine and held hands with me before lying on my shoulder.
I looked at the clock on the dashboard.
10.50pm
Belinda’s date with Rasid is at 12 midnight.
I have 1 hour 10 minutes.
I felt Sandy’s head leave my shoulders and she added.
Sandy : I’m glad Belinda didn’t want you James…. it’s her lost…
She whispered it softly by my ears.
I was too shock to react.
Sandy’s lips came closer and when our lips touched, I caught the digital figure jumped on the clock.
1 hour, 9 minutes left.
I was shaking.
I really was and Sandy laughed.
Sandy :Why are you so nervous James ? …. I may be in uniforms but I’m not underage… ahha..
She chuckled softly and when her tongue met mine, all I had in my head was another jump of the digital display.
1 hour 8 minutes.
……………………………..
My heart never beat so fast before as the cab sped towards Hougang. I could see the driver enjoying the show through his mirror.
I could smell the breath of alcohol coming from her mouth as she got more touchy. My mind was being fucked up pretty bad in the cab.
On one hand I was thinking about Belinda, about her being alone in the room as she waited for the time to past, on the other hand, I could not control my body. I could not resist stroking Sandy’s soft hands as we kissed.
Sandy’s legs were crossed as she leaned towards me, the very motion of her moving forward put quite a bit of a strain on the school uniforms, her breast pushing tightly against the white blouse and blue pinafore.
My eyes feasted on her body, one that I had accidentally penetrated many months ago. Yet today was the day, the very day she willingly offer herself up to me.
Sandy : ergnnn…. Hold me James…. hold me…
Her voice purred softly by my ears, hooking my soul like a siren choosing her victim. I tried to resist it but it was tempting. It was just so soothing. Sandy’s breathe felt like a tickling tease on my ears and she pulled my hand towards her body.
The hem of her uniform got pulled up higher and higher till I could see almost her entire thigh. I even thought I had a glimpse of her panty.
That smooth white flesh waiting for me to touch them and the lure of her panty tempting me to pull them down.
Sandy bit on her lips as she giggled and asked if I was nervous.
Sandy : You’re…. not a virgin right James ? hahha…. You look so…. Nervous…
I was.
I really was nervous as I racked my mind for a plan.
An idea.
Something.
Anything.
I can’t blow her off and get out of the cab like this. It would fuck up the relationship even as colleagues.
I don’t even know what happened throughout the rest of the journey, I only remembered pulling up to Sandy’s flat as she paid the fare and the cab driver gave me a wink, no doubt envious of me. He had every right to as I watch him grinned gleefully as Sandy staggered out of the cab.
Sandy : Woah…. It’s all starting to hit me… all that wine…. haha..
She removed her geeky black frame specs and link arms with me. I was helpless, being led along like a block of wood. My mind was far away from my body and I just went along with everything, trying to buy myself some time.
I needed at least 20 minutes on a fast cab to get back to the hotel. Which meant I need to leave as soon as I could.
Sandy and I staggered and fondled each other all the way to the front of her house. She was blatantly caressing my erection as I squeezed her breast. Our lips touched again as she fumbled for her keys.
Sandy : erngghhh….have you… fantasized about fucking a convent girl before James ? Har ?? Have you ??
She asked me in such a slut like voice , giving me the look that would sure get her dragged to the discipline master’s office just for looking like that. Her eyes looked deep into mine in a dreamlike manner. She’s drunk, high from the alcohol but you could still tell she was sober enough to dictate her own actions.
Turning her back towards me, Sandy deliberately pushed her backside towards me, pressing my erection with her buttocks as she opened the door.
Sandy : Have you ?? har ??Do you know….. many of us are actually…. Pretty naughty…. haha
I nodded and Sandy giggled while trying to put her key back on the hook beside the door.
James : Of course… of course…
Sandy’s hand grabbed my erected cock and I could feel her fingers rubbing the tip of my manhood. I could feel her. Her thumb and index finger twiddle with my cock as she opened her mouth halfway, breathing heavily onto my face.
I could feel the tease through my pants.
If I was not in the situation I was, I would surely grab her and bang her brains out.
Maybe even make her scream and call me her teacher while we were at it.
Sandy’s breast felt full and firm to the touch and she was responsive to my moves as well. Moaning and groaning as I roamed my hands around her body. I cupped my hands onto her breast, kneading them as she moaned.
Sandy : You like to touch my breast James ??? You like to squeeze them ???
Fuck
I almost wanted to scream at her.
You might think I’m joking but the level of stress I was feeling is unprecedented.
It was like there’s fire ants in my pants.
Or someone squeezing my bladder when I’m about to pee.
I’m aroused, I’m horny, I’m fucking tired and I’m totally drained from the day, not to forget I was thinking about Belinda yet my body was telling me I should still fuck Sandy.
We stumbled inside her place. She kicked the door close and we went into her room without even taking off our shoes.
Sandy’s bag fell onto the floor as she came all over me. She pulled out my shirt and unzipped my pants.
Sandy : I’m sorry James… i… I don’t know what’s gone over me… hahah… i… ‘m usually not like this….haha…
She kissed me again, pushing her tongue into my mouth, teasing and begging me to suck on it as she moaned.
I retreated and hit the edge of her bed and stopped, Sandy’s clothes were still on. Her fingers went down to my boxers, pulling it down and she pushed me to take a seat on the bed before I could protest.
It really happened so fast I could not even initiate anything on my own.
Sandy knelt down and stroked my erection dick a few times before she moaned and suck down on my cock.
James : ARghhh….
I could feel a immediate built up of tension in my shaft as Sandy constricted my dick like a python, squeezing and making it challenging for more blood to flow into my manhood.
As if that was not enough to drive any man mad, Sandy looked up at me as she pulled back, sliding her wet lips slowly upwards before cupping her mouth on the tip of my shaft. I groaned as Sandy pressed down on my pee hole with her tongue, her hands pulled my wrist to her breast, egging me on to caress them.
Sandy : This is… so embarrassing…. i…. I … don’t know how to … haha… face you in the office tomorrow… haha… but… but I can’t help it…. Must be the alcohol…
I pulled her up to the feet as I saw the clock on her dresser table.
It’s already 11.10pm .
I only have 50 minutes left.
I already had my excuse ready, I would say it might get awkward in the office if we do this.
That was perfect.
It would surely work.
It would put some sense into Sandy but no.
She disappeared out of the room before I could say anything and when she came back in with a bottle of whiskey without glasses, I knew it was going to too late if I don’t leave.
James : Sandy… I don’t think you should drink anymore….
She ignored me and took a swig from the bottle of 12 year bowmore whiskey.
She just giggled and handed me the bottle before she sucked down on my cock again.
James : Arghhh….
Sandy sucked my cock the same time she stroked me, sending waves after waves of pleasure into my groin, testing my will power. She stopped after a while and reached for the drink again but I refused.
As Sandy got up onto her feet, she stumbled and pressed her body against mine, we lost our balance and we tipped over, lying down on the bed with me desperately trying to hold onto the bottle.
Sandy took it and had another gulp at the drink but she did not swallow it.
She kissed me, tuned my nipple slowly as she released a trickle of the potent drink into my mouth.
I tried not to choke and thankfully it was a controlled release from Sandy.
James : Enough… I don’t think you should drink anymore…
Sandy : That meant we’re not drunk enough yet James… haha..
I wanted to grab the bottle from Sandy but she turned and pressed her body onto me, allowing me to face plunge into her breast.
Sandy : Ohh… haha… James !… haha…
Sandy straddled me and asked me to undress her.
Sandy : Take off my pinafore James…. it’s tight… and uncomfortable…
After saying that she pressed her lips down on mine. I could feel her lifting up her pinafore, trying to take them off on her own.
I helped Sandy to pull it off and she pressed herself onto me again, moaning as she grind her pussy against my cock. I buried my face into Sandy’s breast, smelling her bra and nudging my nose into her cleavage.
Sandy started to undo her own buttons, pulling and throwing her white blouse to the side of her bed.
We kissed again as I held onto her breast, squeezing them as Sandy parted her panty. I could feel her wetness as she tried to guide me in.
There was no hesitation.
Not even a hint of it as Sandy grabbed onto my dick and push herself down onto me.
Sandy : Arghhhhhhh…
James : ARghhh….aghh..
The tight fit of her wet love hole slowly squeezed down onto my shaft as Sandy’s body slowly lowered her entire frame onto me, burying my cock deep into her vagina.
Sandy chuckled and took another drink from the bottle.
Sandy :Arghhh…. Oh my god… what am I doing… oh my god… aarghhh…
She kissed me again and my eyes went to the clock once more.
11.15pm
Only 45 minutes left.
My heart almost gave up on me as Sandy pushed me down onto the bed, starting to fuck her bottom onto my dick.
Sandy : Arghh.. arghh.. arghh….
I held onto her ankles and realised she has yet to remove her shoes.
Looking up, I’m only seeing Sandy in her white school girl bra, her damp wet panty that was being unceremoniously pushed aside and her in her sports shoes with ankle socks. It was a fucking erotic sight as she fucked me on the bed but that was not all.
She started talking dirty to me.
Sandy : ergnnh… egerh.. ergnnh…. James… fuck me… ergnnn… fuck me… ergnnnhh… harder… harder.. ergnnng…fuck me like the naughty school girl you fantasized about… ergnngg….
I tried to resist, to really think of a way out of this as Sandy took another drink from the bottle and kissed me again, flooding my mouth with a shot of whiskey.
All the shaking, the fucking and the drinks is starting to get to me. I had a few glasses of wine too at the dinner.
James : Stop drinking Sandy…. Enough already…
Sandy :ERgnngh… ergnnhh.. you’re not fucking me James… ergnnng… ergnnh… fuck me… I want to feel you inside me… please… eergnnn.. ergnnh…
I gripped onto her waist and slammed myself upwards.
Since I was not going to be able to get away without giving Sandy what she wants, I might as well concentrate and finish it.
Sandy dropped the bottle, spilling a good portion of the drink on her bed as she laughed and moaned as I drove my cock into her vagina.
Sandy : ERgnnhh.. erghnnhh .. ergnnh… ergnnh… ergnnh… arhhh.. ergnnh…
It was near impossible to focus. I kept telling myself to concentrate, to focus on the end but I can’t. I fucking hate the feeling.
This was a moment to be slowly enjoyed, to be treasured, to be remembered forever. How often do you get to fuck your hot colleague in her old school uniforms, yet here I was, feeling nervous, and totally not performing.
I have my erection alright but as I fuck myself deep into Sandy, I was not getting the level of arousal I was hoping to get. I knew I would not be able to cum, instead, I was venting my energy into Sandy, fucking her and shaking her entire body, rocking her limbs right down to her bones.
Piak piak piak…. Piak…
James : ARghhh.. arghhh.. arghh…
Sandy : Arghhh.. ergnnnh… ergnnhh.. ergnnhh…
I fucked Sandy so hard that she was literally bouncing on top of me.
I got up and switched position, and as Sandy laid down on the wet bed, she right the bottom of whiskey which had a little bit left. She took a mouthful and passed it to me.
Sandy : Finish it James… before it spills again…
I grabbed the bottle and I was only preoccupied with fucking Sandy and getting it over and done with that I did not realise it was still quite a portion when I gulp it all up. The burning sensation slid down my throat as I pumped my cock into Sandy’s wet cunt.
Sandy : ERgnnhh… ergnnhhh… ergnnhh…. Harder James … ergnnnghh.. ergnnhh..
Her hands gripped onto her pillow as her mouth gasp apart, moaning and calling out in the sluttiest moans I’ve ever heard as her body enjoyed the hard pounding my cock was giving her.
Suddenly I felt the tingle of my orgasm coming.
I turned to look at the clock.
It’s already 11.27pm
I closed my eyes and drove myself harder, fucking Sandy for all I’m worth as she moaned so loud I was sure the neighbours could hear us.
Sandy : earghhh.. arghhh.. eggrgrhhh.. egreeghhhh.. aghhhhhh.. ahh….!!!!
I could feel my orgasm building up
Yes.
Yes..
It’s almost there…
James :arghh.. areghhh.. aetghhhhh.. argghhhh.. I’m coming… arghhh… fuck !!! … arghh..
I don’t have a condom on.
I don’t care.
It’s the least of my worries now as I felt the rush of my semen gathering at the base of my cock.
Sandy’s entire body was covered with perspiration and I pulled off her shoes, throwing them down the side of her bed.
I gripped both her legs together, closing them right in front of me and hugged onto them like I was hugging a tree trunk, the pressure of her legs closed together enhanced the feeling of my shaft being squeezed by her wet vagina and I continued pumping.
I fucked Sandy so hard that she was moaning for me to stop at one moment and seconds after that she would begged me to go deeper.
Sandy ; aRghhh.. egergnnh.. arghh..
James : ARGHHHH!!!!!
I felt the pushed of my explosive orgasm as I slammed my dick into her pussy, feeling the rush of my sperm into the depths of her vagina the same moment I kissed and smell her sweaty calves and lick her wet ankle socks.
James : ARghh… ahhh.. aRGHHH..
Sandy : eerghhhh.. ernggh… ergnnhhh……
I pulled out my cock and collapsed by the bed beside Sandy.
Sandy : pant…. Pant… pant…. That… that…. Pant… pant…. I thought I just ran a marathon… pant… pant…pant….
I was drained and I have a splitting headache.
Sandy straddled me, lowering her cum filled vagina onto my dick again.
It slid in easily as she moaned and kissed me, cradling my face in her palms as she did so. I could feel her vagina walls squeezing on my shaft, milking me for every drop of my cum.
Sandy : You look so… cute James.. when you’re tired….
She kissed me again and I found myself without the strength to push her off.
Then she started to ride me.
I could feel Sandy riding me.
I could see the clock on the desk.
11.40pm
I need to go..
I really need to go now.
I tried to push Sandy off but my head was spinning.
Spinning.
Then I blacked out.
I totally blacked out.
When I jumped up with a shiver, I could see daylight spilling through the window of Sandy’s room, we were both naked and Sandy was out cold.
I looked at the clock on her desk.
7am
I quickly checked my phone.
There were no calls.
No messages.
I immediately called Belinda. Her phone was still off.
I tried to wake Sandy up but she mumbled that she’s taking MC that day and asked me to stay with her.
I fumbled up an excuse and said that it was my first day at work with Terry, and I needed to go.
She pouted her lips and made me kiss her before I let myself out of the house.
It’s peak hour traffic on a Monday.
It took me 30 minutes to call for a cab. There was no way I’m getting on the train in my uniforms in that state.
I kept trying Belinda’s phone again and again but she kept it off.
I got home, showered and changed before I dashed right down to the hotel.
I reach the hotel at 10am
I went up to Omar’s room and saw the housekeeping staff cleaning up.
They had checked out already.
I went to Rasid’s room and they were not there either.
My phone rang and it was Sharon. She said I better be back in office to get ready to shift my stuff to Terry’s wing before he comes back in.
I walked around the lobby of the hotel, lost and disoriented.
I’ve never felt so helpless in my life before.
I drifted around the office like a zombie.
I don’t even know what was going on.
I only remembered packing my desk.
Hakim helping me push a trolley.
Alex passing me a file.
Uncle Tong giving me a folder.
Mr Liew sneaking a word with me in the toilet.
That was all I remembered until my phone rang at 2.30pm.
It was Belinda
I immediately dropped everything and answered.
James : Where are you !!! Are you ok ?? I’m coming to pick you up !! Why didn’t you turn on the phone ??? Why are you all not at the hotel ??
I peppered Belinda with so many questions but she just kept quiet.
Belinda : I’m… I’m at corpthorne King hotel…
James : Why ?? Why did you all go there ??
She did not answer me and only asked if I could go pick her up. She’s a bit embarrassed to leave the room in her school uniforms.
I grabbed my jacket and the spare set of gym clothes I kept in my drawer and flew down to the hotel.
I went up to the room and Belinda opened the door.
I immediately grabbed her and she hugged onto me.
James : It’s ok… it’s ok….. everything is ok…are you ok ??? are you hurt ??
I checked Belinda for bruises, injury, anything.
She’s fine, just that she looked really tired.
She smiled and nested herself into my arms and I held onto her without a word in the room.
Belinda : Do you still love me James….
James : Of course I do…
Belinda : Then promise me this…. Don’t ever ask me what happened…. Can you ?
I kissed her on her hair and nodded my head.
3.30pm
Belinda changed out of her uniforms and I sent her back home in a cab before heading back to office.
Thankfully Terry was not in and no one gives a shit I was not at my desk in his team.
4.15pm
Omar called me
Omar : Don’t you want to know what happened James ? haha.. I was expecting you to be here…
James : No.
Omar : Alright… I’m boarding my flight back in a minute.
He went on to tell me some stuff about the projects I should take note off before ending the call with a message.
Omar : How is Belinda… ? haha..
I kept quiet on the line.
Omar : Don’t worry… I was gentle with her….. ask her if you don’t believe me… haha…
I hung up.
My phone buzzed at the same time.
A message from Sandy
Sandy sms : Dinner ? I’ll cook… ?
I bit down on my teeth.
It was all Sandy’s fault.
If not for her, I would have been by Belinda’s side.
Then again, I could not blame her. It was Belinda who sent me away. Even if I was by Belinda’s side, what could I do ?
I don’t know what’s gotten into me and I took a series of deep breathes, trying to calm myself down.
Another message came in from Omar.
It was pictures of Belinda.
I gripped my phone tightly as I looked at the image on my phone.
5.45pm
I saw Terry walk into the office with a swagger before heading inside his room.
I took a deep breath and calmed myself down before I replied Sandy’s message.
James sms : Yes…. Dinner..
