Against My Better judgement


    Chapter #1

    See if bros like this introduction.

    Strange weather recently. Raining heavily in March. Not typical weather surely, I thought to myself as I turned out of the gate. It was a long day in the office, & I was tired. I drove down the road, & noticed a gal struggling to keep control of her umbrella in the heavy rain & swirling winds. Hmm…from the back, looks nice. Long hair, sleeveless T-back singlet & jeans. As I drove by, & glanced into the mirror, I realized it was Chiu Hwee, my colleague. She was a general admin hired about a week ago. I had noticed her then, with her cute sweet looks, svelte figure, ohh so fair complexion, & rosy cheeks, but thought she was a bit short. I estimated her height at 1.58m only. But for sure, a SYT. Barely 20, I surmised. There were the normal wolf-like glances, gossip as a new gal came along, from the male colleagues. Our office had a pathetic male-female ratio. Last I heard, a couple of younger guys had already tried to date her out, but had been rebuffed. Probably attached then…I recall thinking to myself. I contented myself with rare glimpses of her cleavage whenever I walked past her. Soon, I think she caught on, as too many of my asshole colleagues were doing the same, & she wore a sweater to cover up. Too bad…I thought no more about it, & continued with work as per normal. Anyway, it was a busy period for me, & I was stressed up trying to meet my targets.

    I checked to see that there was no traffic behind me, reversed a bit, & wound down the window a bit. “Hey! Come on in! I’ll give you a lift!” I beckoned to her. She stopped for a brief moment, as though unsure what to do. She looked to be an extremely shy girl, & I had, to be honest, never spoke to her in her 1 week in the office. I guess the prospects of getting out of the rain won over, & she walked briskly towards me. I stretched over to open the door, & she quickly dashed it, & closed her umbrella. Poor gal, she was dripping wet all over. I turned on the hazard lights, & stopped the car for a while as I handed her some tissues & my hanky to dry herself up. “Wow, you are really drenched”, I said as I passed her my hanky.

    ”Don’t worry, it’s clean, I didn’t use it at all today.”

    “Th…thanks,” She mumbled. Her voice was so sweet, like the chirping of a bird. It was then that I noticed her white singlet was soaked thru, & exposing her black bra beneath. B cup, I thought, as I enjoyed the view while she was engrossed in drying herself. She finally saw me looking at her, & blushed a beetroot RED!

    “Wh..why are you looking like that?,: She managed, obviously uncomfortable at being stared at so intently. I broke out of my trance, & looked away instinctively,”Nothing, just thinking how heavy the rain is to soak you thru like that.”

    “So, where are you heading?” I recovered, a bit paiseh to get caught out like that. After all, I was an middle ranked executive. Wouldn’t do to have this kind of news spreading around. I had already shat in my backyard once before (See my previous story, “The One That Got Away”), & vowed never to repeat that again.

    “Just drop me off at the nearest MRT if you don’t mind, I don’t want to trouble you,” She said.

    “No, no, I have time, I will drop you off, so heavy rain, take MRT also will get wet one.”

    “I live in Kallang leh, very far away.”

    “No problem, I have time.”

    I drove off. On the way, we started a conversation. She was 21, had a younger sister who was in poly. She was not good with studies, & therefore came out early to work after her private diploma. Also, her family was not well off, & she wanted to help out. At my probing, she further revealed that she was attached, & her boyfriend was in NUS currently, freshman. From her dreamy eyes, it was clear she thought the world of him, & she mentioned that she was also supporting him financially, giving him pocket money, & hoped that he would graduate one day, & be a manager, quote, ‘like you, drive nice car, & give me a comfortable life. No need earn a lot, just enough, & be good to me.” She beamed.

    “So sweet,” I thought to myself then. We continued our conversation, & she opened up more. Finally, we arrived at her place. She got off, beamed a megawatt smile at her, “Thanks so much for the ride, Mr Tay.”

    “Hey, no need to be so formal lah, call me Leon, that’s what everyone does.”

    “Ok, Leon, see you tomorrow!” I watched her walk off to her block, & in spite of myself, thought of how to progress with her. Progress to what, I had no idea, but I wanted to get to know her much more intimately. I would have my chance soon enough.

    Very long winded, I guess. Any bros interested for me to carry on?

    Chapter #6

    To my surprise, I saw her. Her back was facing me, sitting down, but she was slouched against her desk, hands covering her face. As I walked closely, I heard soft sobs. I wanted to just move past, but obviously, to see her crying, I just couldn’t bear it. I strode up, & asked gently; “Hi, what’s wrong?”

    She looked up, startled, ”Huh…no…nothing, I…I am ok”, she stammered & started to brush away her tears quickly.

    I shook my head slowly, ”You are obviously crying, come on, come to my cubicle, I may not be able to help, but you will feel better after you tell someone. Trust me.”

    She hesitated a bit, & as I cooed & smiled, she was slowly persuaded. She followed me to my cubicle. As I glanced around, I detected no-one else in the office. Didn’t even know why I did that. I sat down, turned around, & was surprised to see her standing outside.

    “Come in, why you stand outside?” I beckoned. She knocked once, then stepped in, & stood at the front of my desk.

    “Sit down lah, what are you doing?” I asked, bemused.

    “You are management, just being polite, & remembering my position. I am only an admin,” She said.

    “Now, what nonsense are you sprouting, what management, admin want?” I was utterly confused.

    “You…you were nice to me a few weeks ago. I…I guess I misunderstood that we could be friends, but now I know you were just being kind to a new employee. After that, you never talked to me again,” She stated, in a slightly accusing tone. That hurt. She hit me below the belt. I searched my mind for a quick, plausible response.

    “Look, of course I treat you as a friend, just that I was busy, that’s all. Anyway, this’s not about me. It’s about you. What are you doing here on a weekend crying? Mrs Lee gave you too much work again?” Mrs Lee was the HR director, & she was an old bitchy spinster who had the highest turnover of admins on the planet. The longest lasting one was just over 6 mths, & many complained of her overbearing nature.

    “No, no, nothing to do with her. It’s…it’s a personal issue.” I waited patiently as she stole a couple of hesitant glances at me, trying to figure out if she should tell me.

    “I…I don’t know where to start. Promise you wouldn’t tell anyone?” She implored.

    “You have my word, don’t worry, take your time. Here, have a drink.” I handed her a bottle of mineral water. She started to speak, sobbing all the while….

    To be cont’d…..
