Patpong was crowded as hell, especially with all the hawkers crowding the already small sidewalk with the usual wares of copy watches, fruits, silk stuff and other fake goods…..
We stopped at a small stall selling ‘interesting’ silk boxers and she picked out a few that she thought was funny and insisted that I wear these when ever we meet. “But baby, I’ll have to buy at least 7 then….since we see each other every day!” I protested as there was 1 that had a RED base cluttered with WHITE polka dots!
We then stopped at a tie booth where there were some really decent looking silk ties for ridiculously low prices….
With that done, we then parked ourselves outside an Irish Bar at one of the corners and just sipped our beers while relaxing and watching the tourists, locals and gay people go by. Some two beers later, feeling kind of warm and stuffy there, we bought some watermelon and mangoes at a fruit stall and hopped onto a cab and decided to go back early for more rest and just do normal mundane things that she’s deprived of when we’re back home…..like cuddling in bed and watching TV, peeling fruits for each other, etc…
The next day, we went together to pray at Erawan again. This time was to ask for favours.
After the prayers, we went back to the hotel to have breakfast and then got our luggage out and headed to the airport.
I could sense that her spirits were rather down as this , so called holiday, was coming to an end. We arrived at Terminal 1, paid the cab driver and we stood outside to share a cigarette before heading to ‘check-in’……
After checking in, we headed into the transit zone to shop around, hand-in-hand. “Baby, I have this feeling that when we get back to SG, you won’t see me anymore….” She said as we went to the lounge on the 2nd floor. “Oh come on baby, dun be silly. You know how much I love you right?” I replied matter of factly. “I do not know why, but I feel at the pits. Tell me you are not going to leave me….please” She looked in my eyes as she held my hand firmly.
“Baby, I do love you. I will try my best to make you happy without compromising my family. Ok?” I replied trying to emphasize the fact that my family means a lot to me. “But, I’m already turning 30 this year, I have been pressured by my family to get married, especially since they found out that I have a boyfriend as they have spotted me driving either your harrier or your blue BMW back whenever you were playing golf.”
“Ok, let’s face it. Singapore does not allow bigamy and I will not divorce. So what you want me to do then? Marry you in Malaysia? Btw, what’s so important about being married and not being happy when we are what we are now, happy and not married…”
“You know why I want to be married? I want the status of being your wife. I want to be able to give birth to your child in your name legitimately. BUT I can’t do that as long as you remain married to that bitch!” She rebutted raising her voice a little.
“Er…..I think it’s time to board our plane.” I replied as I signaled to for the waitress to get me the bill. “Is it time already?” She queried. It was actually quite early BUT as I didn’t want to continue the conversation on that topic, I decided to stop her dead in her tracks and move on to something else.
After settling the bill, we took the escalator down, turned left and proceeded to the area where all the TG’s fly off from to look for our gate. Along the way, we bought some local products to bring home to the families.
While waiting in the holding area, she brought up the earlier dropped topic again “Baby, do you realize that by sticking to you and by your insistence of non-divorce, I might end up all alone when I grow older? You do know that I am a person who is afraid of being lonely, right?” I looked at her and replied “ Well, I know that you are afraid of being lonely BUT what else can I do?” (BIG MISTAKE…..)
“Well, you could maybe do a check on your wife. For all you know, she may have another lover outside and you can file a divorce based on adultery and not have to pay her any maintenance at all!” I looked at her as my eye widened and replied “What?! I do not think that’s correct. I know she’s attractive, especially for her age, but I totally trust her and she’s been a good wife from the day I married her….” “Well, people change you know! Maybe since you are always away, she may have gotten lonely and decided to seek solace from someone else???”
What she had said just ripped me apart. My thoughts have been swayed to her advantage as bad thoughts started appearing in my mind. I started to think of her occasional late nights when she goes for mahjong with her friends? Or her occasional late night drinks and supper with her clients or business associates? Or her occasional shopping trips with her sisters to either Bangkok or KL? Hmmm……..
“Ladies and Gentlemen, the plane is ready for boarding” The ground crew announced and snapped me out of my thoughts. “Let’s go baby” I said as I pulled her along and we boarded the plane.
As the plane took off after a 15 minute wait in the queue of planes waiting for the runway to clear, we looked out of the window as the city of Bangkok started getting smaller. As the plane stabilized, she started her attack again “Baby, I have an relative that was the third party before and guess what, they are now happily married and the husband has JOINT CUSTODY of their 2 sons and EVERYBODY is happy as the old relationship was headed for a dead end anyway….” She took a sip of the beer that we ordered and continued “She has passed me the contact number of the Lawyer that did the papers. Aparently, he SPECIALISES in divorce and know the ways out to make things go smooth and clean cut without and problems for both. I HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT for a FREE consultation sometime next week. Why don’t we just go talk to him and see what he says. It may help. OK?” She looked at me with those hush puppy eyes pleading for me to say yes and go. Well, in my mind, I was reluctant to go BUT since it’s only a free consultation and we’re not doing any procedures. I agreed and she planted a deep wet kiss on my lips immediately. It seemed as if she saw light at the end of a very dark tunnel…….
With that done, she was suddenly all chirpy and cheerful again, drinking her beer and constantly toasting mine. Before we knew it, the plane has started it’s descent and so we looked out of the windows again and saw Malaysia come into view and we descended down from the cloud level. “Baby, does she know our flight time> Will she come and pick you up? She asked me suddenly with her wearing a look of worry on her face.” “ Don’t worry, I had told her that I would be back on the last flight, as usual, when I last conversed with her.” As her facial expression turned from worry to joy, she replied “ Yay! That would thus make it convenient for us to walk out of the airport together without getting spotted. Right? Ohh…I love you so much……!” With that, she just held my arm tightly as the plane proceeded to land on the Tarmac………
Since we had all the time in the world, we decided to head to the open air smoking area to take a much need puff instead of joining the throngs of people heading for the Immigration counters. As we got there, there was already a few staff behind the counter of the Harry’s Bar there, we decided to have a beer each at the same time enjoying our cigarettes.
Some 30 mins later, we got down to the Immigration counter, cleared through without any problems, then hit the DFS to buy my Johnnie Walker Blue Label, wine and 3 cans of beer (Bros who wanna ask me out for drinks PLEASE note what I drink. Black also can…k eke ke). She got a bottle of Cordon Bleu, a bottle of wine and 3 can of beer as well. I paid for all in cash, to avoid any complications should my wife see my bill. (This is one trick all inexperienced bros must learn….when out doing something illegitimate, please use cash…do not leave a line of evidence behind)
After collecting our luggage that was left in the floor beside the Belt, we wheeled our trolley out, and seeing no trace of my missus, we went over to the cab queue and took a cab back to her place. Her mum was in and she introduced me as ‘one of her bosses’. While she brought her stuff to her room and showed me around her home, her mother was eyeing me suspiciously, as if looking for a sign that I was the one she’s dating.
After, leaving my stuff at her place as well, she took her family car and we went to our favourite LOR MEE stall in Tampines to savour a long awaited taste of local food. However, the stall was closed that day and so we had to proceed with Plan B, which is tto go to the Hawker Centre beside the Bedok Bus Interchange. The Lor Mee stall there is very good as well…….
We ordered 2 bowls of Lor Mee,. 1 bowl of delicious Chinese styled Mutton soup from the stall next door and washed it down with some Sugar cane juice……
Just as we were finishing the meal, my mobile rang and as I took it out from my back pocket, my wife was the one calling.! “Hello” “You’re back already? I thought you taking the last flight back? I actually wanted you to help me buy something for me if you were still in BKK…..” “Oops….sorry, I received a call late last night from Matt asking me to pop into his office this evening , if possible, to discuss some urgent matters. Which was why I changed my flight to a much earlier one. Anyway, I just got out and am eating at the T1 staff canteen first before heading to Matt’s office nearby. Bopian, miss local food so much…” “Oh ..ok then. You want me to pick you up later?” She asked caringly. “No….I guess I’m fine. I’ll just call a cab from Matt’s place later. I’ll call you later when done. Ok?” “OK then…dun work too hard, you just came back..” “OK then. Ta ta”.
SHE stared at me with her big eyes and asked me rather angrily “Why you still talk so nice to her! You’re gonna divorce her soon already….so please consider my feeling when she calls! Just ignore her calls in future….OK?!”
“Baby…that’s not very nice right? Besides, I only promised to go with you to see a lawyer and NEVER said anything about getting the divorce!” I replied in a huff. “Baby, get real! If you were not even entertaining the idea of a divorce, would you waste your precious time to go see the lawyer with me? I know you well enough to know how precious your time is and how you manage your appointments and meetings….”
“Oh SHIT! Careful as I was, I let my guard down and I’ve been trapped!” I was thinking out so loud I think she may have heard.
I composed my self and said ‘Ok, you win. I did entertain those thoughts because I love you so much BUT I haven’t decided and I guess it ok to just think about the probable equations right? (Another dead duck statement to make)”
“Well, since you start entertaining those thoughts, why not just do how you do business by getting on with the program and execute the plan??” She rebutted me.
“You know something, it is a waste you didn’t become a lawyer, with your method of argument….” I replied meekly.
“No, I just stating the facts and the reason why I’m doing this is for my future happiness and I believe I can get it with you. We make an awesome couple, with all the pictures we’ve taken together and also our similar character traits. Don’t you agree?”
“Er…well….er…..that’s rather true BUT it doesn’t overpower the love I have for my daughter!”
“For starters, I could love her as my own because of my love for you and your love for her. I will never mistreat her when we eventually get our own kids. I am willing to settle for joint custody so that that bitch not be left out of the kid’s life. I do not mind if she doesn’t call me mum, just auntie will do……”
“Well….we’ll see what the lawyer says when we meet him sometime next week and take it from there….ok? I replied rather submissively.
With that said, we finished our food and , since it was still rather early, headed to the club to have some drinks.
We took out my bottle of JW Black, poured in our glasses with water as mixer, and toasted to a great business cum holiday trip.
“Baby, I’ll miss the feeling of having you sleep beside me tonight…..you know? I’ve gotten so used to having you beside me, hearing your breathing as you sleep, hearing you snore when you are exceptionally tired, feeling your body warmth beside me when it’s cold…..” She said in a loving tone
“Well, we can do that in future when we go for holidays over weekends or another business trip?”
“NO…I do not want to have to wait for another time when I can have it every night WHEN you get a divorce…..”
“Oh baby, please don’t start that again…..we’ll go see the lawyer sometime next week and we’ll not talk about that until after. OK?” I said rather pleadingly as this topic has been bugging and troubling me like a nightmare that just won’t go away.
“Baby, I’m sorry I have to be hard on you and I feel heartache everytime I see your face in agony as I mention this BUT it’s for OUR own future happiness……So I can’t give up now…..TRUST ME…..we’ll be very happy together FOREVER……!” She exclaimed victoriously.
“Er……” was all I managed to get coming out of my mouth……
Anyway, time passed really quickly the next few days as I was really busy clearing up all the paperwork and issues in the office while I was away. It was 4 pm on a afternoon when my mobile rang “ Hello?” “Baby, It’s me. I just managed to get hold of the lawyer and he’s free to meet us for a consultation tonight….OK?” She said excitedly.
“Er…actually I have already made plans to catch up with the guys at the club to do a bit of training at the range and then go have some drinks.” And before she could say anything else I added “Besides, I do not think I can back out of this one as it had been arranged quite some time ago, before we went away…..”
I could sense that she was getting rather displeased as she retorted “ How can you go for golf training and drinks when I have fixed an IMPORTANT appointment with the lawyer, an appointment that could change our lives for the better??!!!”
“Hello??!! YOU fixed the appointment WITHOUT first checking my schedule! YOU insisted on the APPOINTMENT! YOU are trying to control my life at this point in time???? YOU reckon I can live with someone who controls me?” I rebutted as my temper started flaring…..
“But…but….but……I’m doing this for our own good…..it’s for our future happiness……” I cut in before she can finish and said “it’s for YOUR future happiness! Let me be frank with you! I do not deny that I love you very much BUT to make me leave a good woman who can tolerate my ways of business and entertainment and get hitched to you who will CONTROL my every movement and restrict me in my entertainment styles, especially when I have to go to the Nightclubs. It’s like hopping from the frying pan into the BONFIRE! U reckon I’m mad???!!!”
“But….I won’t control you….I just want to be with you to assist you in the entertainment with the clients. I can drink quite well too…..” She said as her voice started shivering.
“Look, it’s different when men get together to drink and talk business compared to when there’s a wife or girlfriend comes along……It is seen by a lot of people that the man who BYO is someone who can’t draw a clear line between work and personal matters! You do not understand that now, do you?” I added to continue the lashing…..
“But they never seemed to mind me being there and , in fact, they even seemed like they welcome me…..”
“Hello?! Do not be childish! You think they will dare to tell you off? I can see from their expressions when they see you that they were rather uncomfortable already. It is so typical of you, being totally self centred and not bothering to survey the expression on all the peoples’s faces……haven’t you learnt anything from all this time you’ve spent with me??!!”
There was now silence on the other end of the line, except for some soft sobbing. “OK, I have to work, I won’t see the lawyer or you tonight. Bye” With that said, I hung up the line and leaned back on my chair and started thinking about what I had just said and plotting how to go about to have a clean breakup with HER to prevent any further emotional problems.
“Whack!” “Good Shot!” My buddy TC shouted as I drove the ball straight till it almost hit the net at the end of the range. “Thanks dude, seems I’ve gotten the glitch in my swing sorted out.” I replied as my perspiration dripped from my face. “Of course lah, you keep swaying the body instead of doing the proper body turn….much better now….coupled with the reduced swing speed, it’s become like poetry in motion….” “Wah…so good huh? Let’s finish up and we go for some iced cold beer man…..” I replied, as I could feel a thirst in my throat.
We warmed down with some shots using the Sand Wedge and when we finished the balls, we dumped our golf sets in our cars and proceeded to the golf terrace to have some chilled beers and snacks.
“Hey, it’s kind of early. Any plans tonight?” I asked as I suddenly realized that I had no plans for the night since I didn’t want to meet HER tonight. TC looked at me rather surprised and replied “YOU of all people got no programs for tonight? What about your super glue chick?” “Super Glue Chick?” I asked rather surprised.
“Yeah! You are the talk of the town recently as she seems to be with you every time you are here and people have all started making side bets about how long you will last. I’ve known you for 9 years now, ever since you joined as a member here, as I know that you are not the kind of person who can stand it when a chick sticks like glue to you, right?”
“Well….that was before BUT this one is rather interesting. I dunno why I can tolerate her till now……” I got cut off by him as he queried “No more with her?”
“Still on, …er…well…kind of……..I’m actually thinking of laying her off already….getting to emotional……” I replied.
“I must say she’s really hot though, all the other guys in the club are envious of you man! Especially when she dresses in her short skirts and tight tops…..Woo Hoo!”
“Well….she’s Hot alright….how else you reckon she could last so long??” I smiled as I recollected the last time we had hot sex together…….
“Tell you what dude, let’s go enjoy ourselves tonight. My treat. What say you?” I exclaimed and continued “Let’s go to Lido and have some MIC (Made In China) fun. Onz?”
“Onz lah….you know I’m always ok to go with the flow and no need for you to treat me lah….let’s go enjoy together. Let’s get the bill and hit the showers then…..
“……..你最珍贵。。。。” I just finished singing a Chinese duet with the gorgeous lady from Hangzhou when my handphone rang…..I picked it up and seeing that It was her number, indicated for the sound to be reduced as I answered the call.
“Hello?” “Baby….I miss you….where are you?” She said in a sobby manner……
“Er…..I’m having drinks with my golf buddies wassup?” I replied in a nonchalant tone.
“Can I come and join you? I want to see you….” She pleaded.
“No….we are having a guy’s gathering and no spouses and girlfriends allowed.”
“Where are you guys at?”
“A Niteclub in town.”
“Err……why must you guys go to a nightclub? Can’t you guys go to a normal bar or drink at the club?”
“Well…….what’s with you where we go? I believe that is not within your control since YOU are NOT involved right?”
“It’s not that…I don’t like you going to nightclubs cos there are so many sleazy girls there that might…..er……”
“So what if I have some fun with the girls. Besides, we are at a high class establishment so no sleaze ….don’t you have any faith in me?”
“Er…it’s not that….er….well, there’s a guy who’s been trying to woo me for ages and he invited me out for drinks…should I go join him?”
“Well…it’s your own discretion…just don’t be too drunk and get into trouble…..ok?”
“Ok then… ..” she replied in a rather disappointed tone.
With that we hung up and I apologized to all in the room for having to disrupt their singing while I answered my call.
The girl who was sitting with me, Angela, held on to my arm and asked “ 你老婆找你回家了吗？”
“不是啦，那是我的女朋友。老婆在家。。。”
“哇！你好厉害！有老婆跟女朋友还能来这里花天酒地。”
“不要这样说，男人不坏，女人那里会爱？对吗？” I replied with a huge grin.
Another 2 hours later, with a substantial amount of Scotch in my system, I called HER just to check what she was up to…..
“Hello? Where are you?” I asked as I stepped out of the KTV room while waiting for my girl to change up to go for supper.
“Hi Baby, …I’m….er…..at my friend’s place. He wanted to show me his pets……”
“HUH???!! What the Fxxx you doing in a guy’s place? He wanted to show you his pets? It’s more like he wanted to show you his XXXX….I reckon!”
“No lah, you know that I won’t do anything silly, we’re just having some wine and chit-chatting….”
“Don’t be ridiculous! I want you to get you stuff and go home NOW!”
“But…..but….”
Before she could finish the sentence, I cut in “ I mean NOW!”
With that said, I hung up the phone.
I was now agitated and confused. There was a battle going on in my head. “Since In was going to dump her, wouldn’t it be good if she hitches up with another guy who has been going after her for such a long time. BUT why was I behaving like a jealous jerk??!!”
I was asking myself as I walked, with Angela holding on to my arm, to get my SUV to head for supper.
We went over to the Teochew porridge along Havelock Road and while halfway thru supper, my mobile rang…..
“Hello?”
“Baby, I’m on the way home now, you don’t get angry ok? I’m sorry but there was really nothing at my friend’s place……”
“Ok, how are you going back by? How come it’s so noisy?”
“Oh…he’s sending me back home and it’s a cabrio with the top down, that’s why it’s so noisy…..
“Ok then, call me when you reach home. Bye”
After the call, I was feeling a bit better and with that tucked in more heartily into the delicious porridge.
After supper, while I was sending Angela back to her rented flat in Chinatown, SHE called to inform me that she was already home and getting ready for bed.
With peace of mind that she’s already home safe, I decided to bring Angela to a hotel located near her place to have a romp……….
It was about 11am when I woke up the next day and found that there were 5 sms’s from HER……
I read thru the sms’s and they were all repeat messages from 9am till the last one being 10.55am.
It all read “ Baby, I’m sorry about last night. I didn’t do anything and I hope you are not angry anymore….Can I see you today / tonight? I miss you…”
After reading it, I replied “ You are getting paranoid. I will try to see u later when I finish work. Will update you online when I have time….”
With that done, I went to wash up and change. As I walked into the kitchen, I saw my wife having her brunch and asked “ What time is your flight today? You want me to send you to the airport? You’ll be away for how long again?”
“It’s about 4pm…..so I need to be in the airport at about 2-2.30pm? You have time to send me?I should be able to settle the stuff there within 2 weeks, I hope… ”
“Sure, quite free today, I work from my study room first. Could you get the maid to whip me something to eat while I work?”
“Ok dar, what u want? How about some French Toast? ” She smiled as she came over to give me a kiss and I then proceeded to the study room..
“Oh, btw..heard you mobile going off….think there were some messages or calls…..”
“Oh….ok thanks” I replied and heaved a sigh of relief that she didn’t read any of my messages.
I went online and was giving instructions to my secretary halfway on MSN when a new window on Yahoo popped up. It was from HER..
AD : baby….
HR : hi baby…wassup?
AD : Oh….nothing much…miss you….
HR : OK….bz now….chat in a bit….k?
AD : OK….u in ofc?
HR : No…working form hm….why?
AD : nothing….just asking….me bored and tired…
HR : ok…laters…..ta ta
AD : ta ta
After the short ‘conversation’ I resumed my communication with my secretary and all was peaceful until an hour later……..when the window popped up again.
AD : baby…u still bz?
HR : well…sort of….wassup?
AD : lunchtime soon….you gonna CUM?
HR : no time for lunch today…try to see you after work…..
AD : ok *keeping fingers crossed*
HR : logging off…gtg….
AD : where u going?
HR : meeting….
AD : ok…good luck :-*
HR : bye.
With that, I logged off and went back to my bedroom to see my wife doing some last minute packing…..
She saw me come into the room and said “Darling, since I’m going to go away for so long, how about……er……giving me some…..er…….you know?”
“Eh? I know what?” I said cheekily…
“You know lah…dun disturb me….. how about it? I was actually very horny last night but you came back so late and I succumbed to the ZZZ monster already….”
I went to close the door and locked it. I then carried my wife to our bed and we proceeded to kiss and make love……..
After the great lovemaking (we’ve not done it to each other for quite a long time), we realised that we had spent almost an hour and I immediately washed up and changed while she packed her remaining stuff into her bag……
After sending my missus off at the airport, feeling bored, I called HER “ Baby, I’m bored. I think I will go to the club to drink since it’s still early. You wanna join me?”
“Of course! Why don’t you come to my office now, since it’s nearby, and we go to the club where I drop you off and I drive your car back to the office so I can get there easily without having to wait for a cab?”
“Hmm….that sounds good……ok then, will be at your office in 10mins….C’ya”
With that, I hung up and proceeded to drive to her office. I drfove into the driveway and saw her just getting out of the lift and walking over. My, my…she was dressed in a very short 1 piece tight dress that showed a fair bit of cleavage and her fair, creamy thighs.
I immediately felt a stirring in my loins AGAIN…..
We shared a short kiss on the lips and I headed off towards the club.
“Baby, I missed you……do you miss me too?” She asked excitedly.
“Well…..er…yes..of course I do…..” I replied with some uncertainty in my voice.
As got out of my car at the entrance of the club, she came over and gave me a tight hug and kiss before getting into the driver’s seat and driving away…..
While I walked into the club lobby, the golf stewards and some of the other members looked at me with envy, and I went towards the golf terrace, plonked myself into one of the seats, ordered beer and watched Golf that was being broadcast on the Large Flat screen TV on the wall…..
It’s kinda boring always reading about sex, sex, and more sex especially if it’s almost the same……so….
We now move forward to two weeks later when my missus was scheduled to come back as during those fourteen days or so…..we had lots of drinks, tons of sex with me shooting into her (surprising she didn’t get preggie yet! I must be really getting old!).
It was really blissful as I threw all caution to the wind, bringing her to many places where I wouldn’t normally bring her for fear of being spotted by my missus since she’s away (BIG MISTAKE!)
By bringing her to places that my missus would go, I had mistakenly given her the wrong impression that she would be replacing my missus……..!
HUGE MISTAKE!!!!!
While busy in the office planning for a business trip to BKK….I received an interesting call…….
“Hello?” “Hi Harrier, what you up to this weekend?” “Er…Hi Chris. I will be up in BKK, got a meeting to attend on Saturday morning as well as one on Monday….wassup?”
“Well, Jen and I have booked for a shopping trip in BKK over the weekend I was about to invite you to go along but since you will already be there, let’s meet up there and party……btw, my husband will not be going so it’s just Jen and I…..” With that said, Chris hung up the phone while evil thoughts crept into my mind.
Before we go any further, let me do a bit of intro on these two HOT BABES Chris and Jennifer.
Chris is a mother of 2 with 2 huge knockers accompanied by a very curvaceous body and beautifully exotic looks.
Jen, on the other hand, is a small sized gorgeous divorcee that looks super hot even though she’s a mother of 1…..(How the hell do these women stay so sexy after giving birth when there are others that transform into Godzillas out there…!)
With the fact that there will be 2 hot MILF’S in BKK on the weekend when I will be there on business, I sat back in my office chair and set my brain into overdrive, planning out my itinerary so as to make my trip more ‘fruitful’……
I had started fantasizing about the two Hot MILF’s having a romp together when I was rudely awakended by the intercom with my secretary.
“Mr Harrier, your girlfriend in line 2……” I heard my secretary’s voice on the intercom
“OK and please stop saying that! Dangerous, you know…..” I chided her for not knowing how to be discreet.
“Hello?”
“Baby, what are WE doing over this weekend?” She asked enthusiastically.
“Oh baby, I’ll have to be away this weekend in BKK……I’ve got an urgent Consultant’s meeting in Sathorn on Saturday and another one on Monday. What did you initially have in mind?”
“Oh….I was actually thinking of going for a short trip to either Bali or some other nearby beach resort. Since you have to be in BKK, WE will have to make do with that then…..”
“Huh? Baby, I said I will have to be there and NOT WE…..because this one is serious business work and I will have to entertain the Thai clients on this trip…I will not have time to accompany you at all…..no point for you to go shop alone…..dangerous too….”
I cut in before she could finish.
“But baby, I’ll be so bored and lonely not being able to see you for so many days…..Can I just tag along?” She started pleading….
“Sorry baby, you know that I would definitely have you in my plans if I can spare the time to accompany you BUT this time round, the schedule’s too packed and purely work….. Let’s leave it at that…ok?”
“But…but……OK then……when do you depart?” She continued as she resigned to fate that she wouldn’t be able to tag along.
“Sorry baby, you know that I would definitely have you in my plans if I can spare the time to accompany you BUT this time round, the schedule’s too packed and purely work….. Let’s leave it at that…ok?”
“But…but……OK then……when do you depart?” She continued as she resigned to fate that she wouldn’t be able to tag along.
“Friday afternoon….I’ve been booked on the 1630hrs flight……Btw, I’ve got quite a lot of stuff to clear now…..shall we talk about it when I pick you up from work later?”
“Sure baby….C’ya later….”
At 6pm sharp, I drove into her office driveway and saw her already standing there, in a long denim skirt and a black shawl, waiting for me. She got in and we had our usual peck on the lips and as I drove off, I asked “ Where do you want to go today?” “How about a pre-dinner drink first then we decide on where to go for dinner?” She replied.
“Sounds cool, how about heading into town and getting some scotch from my bottle in Marriott?” I suggested.
“Sure, haven’t been there for a while……”
The drive there was relatively smooth on the ECP except for a bit of congestion at Rochor. We parked and went into the bar and sat by my favourite table while the servers brought my bottle out from the storage area.
After the drinks have been mixed in our glasses, we had a toast and I was sipping my scotch when she asked “ Can you not go to BKK this weekend or if you really need to go, can you please let me go along?”
I placed my glass down on the table, looked her in the eyes and replied “ Baby, you DO understand that I’m going there for work and Not for pleasure right? You also understand that I’ll have to entertain the Thai Bosses and it would not be convenient for you to be there right? Is it déjà vu or haven’t we had this discussion before already?”
She kept quite for a moment, presumably, to collect her thoughts, and replied “ But…you know….I’ll be so bored, especially since it’s the weekend. I do not like to go out with the guys that are still going after me because it will give them the wrong impression and also I do not like to ‘entertain’ them cos I only treat them as friends and my heart ONLY has you….”
With that said, she took a big gulp from her glass, emptying the scotch into her mouth. I was at a loss as to what to say as I felt a tug in my heart cos I can’t bear for her to be in pain BUT I also can’t cancel my trip or bring her along either……
Deciding to keep quiet since I didn’t know how to reply, which has always been a good thing to do in case I say something wrong, I continued sipping my scotch and enjoying the piped in music that was playing….
Just then, as if God sent, the assistant manager walked in and came over plonked himself on the empty seat beside me and said “Hi buddy, haven’t seen you in a bit ….and … Hello.” As he waved to HER.
“Yeah, been rather busy with work and also have been traveling a bit. How’s thing matey?”
“Ok, as usual…..tons of drinks, loads of work and lack of sleep…” “hahahaha”
“Drink for you? Beer? Coffee?” I offered.
“Er….coffee then….too early for me to drink yet…..” he replied.
We continued to chat about some other stuff and I was heaving a huge sigh of relief for his timely arrival as the topics of our conversation had seemed to erase off the tension caused by the talk about my BKK trip.
After some 15 minutes or thereabouts, the AM had to go settle some stuff and left us alone again. I, worried that she will bring up the dreaded topic of my trip again, made my way out to the restroom to relief myself and also to see if there are any other regulars / friends that I could invite to my table……..
As I was walking back to my table, I spotted her talking to an Angmoh guy. As I got back, we were introduced and SHE told me that he was her ex-colleague when she was working in another firm.
He had actually left the company and married an Indonesian lady (Dark and Ugly as I was told later….what’s wrong with the tastes of these AngMoh men?!) and have settled down in Germany. He was back here on a project basis and was staying at the Marriott.
Well, we had some interesting chat about a lot of things in general and since we didn’t feel like traveling out for dinner, we ordered the Satay (which is very good) and some other finger foods to fill the stomach for dinner….
As the time passed, more people have streamed in and the place has gotten a lot noisier.We’ve also had a substantial amount of scotch in our system and hence decided that it was about time to go. I settled the bill and after bidding goodbye to the Angmoh friend, we went to collect our car and drove off heading back to her place……
While driving back, she suddenly sat up, faced me and said “ Baby, do you know that I love you so much?”
“Huh?….er….why?”
“Because I can tell YOU everything and you won’t make a fuss, be it ex-boyfriends, ex-flings, whatever…..”
“Well, we are all mature adults and these are all the past and it shouldn’t be affecting us in the present and future…right?”
I replied and continued “Furthermore, not that I’m comparing or anything, BUT I feel that although I may not be an angmoh but my skills and attention more than make up for the lacking in size, if any, don’t you agree?” I winked as I said that.
“Yes baby, you’re the best!……Er…..shall we…er…you know….go get…..er….you know…..”
“Actually, why not….I’m feeling kind of frisky at the moment too…….”
With that concluded, I turned off the highway and drove towards one of the small hotels nearby to get a room…….
It was about 12 noon on Friday when I ended my project meeting with my staff to conclude all the necessary details I’d require for my meeting in BKK the next day.
I immediately packed my documents and notebook into my TUMI notebook bag, and rushed home to pack my clothes for the trip.
As I was packing, my mobile rang. “Baby, yes?”
“Baby, what are you doing now?”
“Oh…I’m packing my stuff and will be taking a cab to the airport. I’m going to have a brief meeting with a client on transit thru Singapore. Why?”
“Oh…what time will you be at the airport then?”
“Er…looking at how things have been packed….I should get there by 2pm or so…..”
“Ok then, I’ll see you at the airport ok? I want to see you off….”
“Eh? You don’t have to work meh?”
“I just told my boss I change my lunch time to 2pm onwards….besidess, he won’t be in after lunch anyway.”
“Ok then….up to you…gotta hang up now, haven’t finished packing yet…Bye”
“Ok..I LOVE YOU….Bye”
I continued packing while I instructed my maid to cook me some noodles for lunch as I was starving……
After gobbling down my noodles, I grabbed my stuff, instructed my maid “ I have arranged the company driver to take my car and send you and baby to all her classes for the weekend. Mum may be back either tomorrow or Sunday. Any problems?”
“No sir, I am familiar already…..have a good trip Sir.” “ Ok thanks, take care of my baby and make sure the dogs are released at all times so that they can guard the house properly. Bye”
I said as I walked out to the Taxi that was waiting outside my gate.
The journey took 20 mins as the traffic was clear and I arrived at the terminal at 1:55pm.
“Baby, I’ve arrived. I will try to see if the check-on counter is open yet…..call me when you get here.” “Ok, I’m leaving office now in my colleagues car. See you”
When I got to the airport, I found that the check-in counter was already open and that a queue had formed. Thank goodness I have priority and checked in my luggage, got my boarding passes and walked out of the terminal of have a smoke when SHE appeared right in front of me!
She hugged me really tight and said “Baby, you are not going to leave me, are you?”
“Baby, don’t be silly. Let’s go outside to have a smoke first before I go in for my meeting.”
“Sure you not going to leave me? Ok then” She replied as I could see her eyes getting a bit teary.
“Oh come on baby……why are you suddenly thinking this way again?” I asked rather irritated with her again.
I started walking out of the terminal with her following behind me quietly with her head bowed low…..
We shared a cigarette in silence as we watched the cars and taxis alighting their passengers with luggage at the entrance.
After the smoke, she apologised “Baby, I’m so sorry BUT the reason why I’m feeling paranoid is because I LOVE YOU too much and cannot bear for you to not be by my side…”
“But, you know that I do not have a choice and have to travel in my business…..and you can’t possibly follow me everywhere…..RIGHT?”
“Yes….but I still feel a sense of loss knowing you won’t be around with me over the weekend…….”
“Ok, I have to go in already. Have a discussion inside before buying my cigarettes and liquor for the clients. Let’s proceed in”
We walked hand in hand to the gantry gates and as I turned her around and gave her a hug, she hugged back very tightly, tears starting to flow……
We kissed, in full view of the other passengers walking through, and after re-convincing her that I’m not leaving her for good, I walked in pulling my trolley bag with my TUMI bag slung over my shoulder…….
A couple of hours later, I disembarked from the plane and was walking over to the immigration counters when my mobile rang.
“Hello?”
“Baby! You have arrived safely?”
“Yup! Or else I wouldn’t be able to answer your call and talk to you right?” I replied sarcastically.
“What are you doing now?”
“I’m about to go through immigration. I’d better hang up in case I get into trouble with the immigration officers…Bye”
“Ok then, call me later when you reach you hotel, ok baby?”
“OK, Bye” I said coldly. (I was getting irritated with her constant calling)
I cleared immigration without a hitch and was waiting for my luggage when my phone rang again.
“HELLO?” I answered rather rudely
“Hi, where are you?” It was my missus calling
“Oh hi, I just touched down in BKK airport…..why?”
“OH….i just touched down in BKK airport too! I thought I saw someone who looked like you…what are you doing in BKK anyway?” IT’S MY WIFE!!!
“You just touched down in BKK too?”
“Yeah, I decided to do stopover to relax and do some shopping before going back home………since you are here, I can make arrangements to fly back together with you and we treat this like a short holiday then?”
“Ok..that sounds cool…..I have nothing on besides work anyway….” I replied as I cursed my luck since I had already planned to party and maybe have some ‘fun’ with the 2 MILF’s who are already in BKK……
“OK, I’ll go make arrangements with the TG office and meet you outside.”
“Ok then….see you outside, Ill be by the money changers changing a bit more Thai baht ….”
When my missus came out with her luggage, we hugged and walked over to get a limo service as the taxi queue was very long.
“How was India?” I asked as we got into the Toyota Camry.
“Horrible! Dirty and smelly and my stomach didn’t agree with the food! I had diarrhea a few times. However, the business part was good, we managed to close quite a few deals. My colleagues are still there. I couldn’t take it anymore and hence decided to come back first…..How’s baby?”
“Oh..she’s great…..and she’s really growing up to be a very beautiful and intelligent girl (Which parent wouldn’t say that about their own kid?)
“Btw, you haven’t told me why you are here except the general term ‘work’?”
“Oh…sorry, I’ve got a project on Sathorn Road and I’m here for some meetings…..”
“Cool…..business good these last few weeks? Sorry haven’t been able to talk much as the lines there were really bad too….”
“Have you booked your hotel room?” I asked as the car got up the flyover, avoiding the congested traffic below.
“Actually, no…I had contact your cousin James to put up at his apartment since he has 2 spare bedrooms…..”
“I’ve booked a room at the Arnoma hotel, same as my last trip, cos I liked the location and decent rooms that didn’t cost very much” I told her.
“Why don’t I give James a call to inform him that I will be staying with you and we could all meet for dinner tonight?”
“Cool! Haven’t seen him for quite a while….”
With that said, we realized that the car was going through some backlanes and before we knew it, we were at the hotel lobby (These Limo drivers really know the shortcuts, unlike the taxi drivers that do not mind taking the main roads and getting in jams as they charge by the meter)
I check in and after converting my room into double occupancy, we went up to our room to rest and freshen up before meeting my cousin for dinner in Song Boon restaurant nearby.
While my missus was in the shower, my mobile rang and THANK GOD THAT WE HAVE CALLER ID IN THAILAND because I saw HER number flashing on my screen.
Knowing that I would be flirting with danger if I answered her calls while my missus was here, I decided to not answer her call and just switched my phone to silent mode….
I left my mobile in my pants and laid back to relax while watching ESPN on TV….
We had a sumptuous dinner comprising of seafood and meats washed down with beer at the restaurant and caught up on old times with my cousin, who has been based in BKK for the last 3 years.
During dinner, my phone lit up and seeing that it was a call from Thailand, I picked up and answered “Sawasdee Krup” “ Hello? Harrier, It’s Chris. You are in BKK already? You joining us for drinks later?”
“ER…hi…I dunno leh…..where you heading to?” I asked hesitantly.
“We actually do not have a clue BUT we do not really mind just getting some drinks and catching up, either in your room or ours. Where you staying btw?”
I was kicking myself for having this kind of luck where I had to bump into my missus here as most people would know the outcome of drinks in a hotel room between 1 guy and 2 hot chicks……..
“Tell you what, I’ll call you back ok? I’m in the middle of dinner now…..”
“Ok then, FYI…. I brought some nice lingerie to wear when we have drinks later…..”She teased.
“OH MY GOD!!”
After dinner, feeling rather lethargic from the full meal, we decided to retire for the night as I had an early morning meeting the next day.
When we got back to the room, my missus, exhausted from her flight, immediately changed into her PJ’s while I switched on my notebook to run through my work to ensure that all was in order for tomorrow’s meeting.
After some half an hour, fully satisfied with all the reports. I switched off my notebook and was surprised that my missus had fallen asleep……
My BIG head immediately started a mental tug-of-war with my small head on whether to risk going over to the 2 MILF’S hotel room, which was conveniently located nearby.
Eventually, my small head won and since I didn’t change earlier, I took my key card and went out of my room quietly and once clear, made a call to the ladies to inform them that I was going over…..
As I was about to get into the cab, my mobile rang…… “Hello?” I answered
“Hello? Where did you go?” It was my missus!
“Oh…I was feeling kind of peckish so I thought I’d come down and see whether there was any snacks I could buy from the 7-11 next door. You wanna buy anything?” I replied
feeling dejected cos with her awake, it would be suicide if I went ahead to have rendezvous with the 2 ladies.
“No….but now I can’t really sleep so I will read……”
“Ok then, should be back up really soon….Bye”
After that call, I immediately dialed Chris’s number, “Hi Chris?”
“Hi Harrier, how come you’re not here yet? I’m already dressed in my PINK lingerie and Jen is in a tiny top and shorts……and we’ve already had half a bottle of wine….”
“I’m sorry I have to spoil the fun for the both of you BUT I’m stuck and can’t go over to join you. My client’s called me last minute and want me to join them for drinks in a NightClub. You know that I would give up anything to be with you gals BUT this is work…..sigh” I had to lie as they didn’t know my wife was here with me.
“Ok then……but you’ll be missing out on some really good ‘fun’…..you sure you REALLY can’t CUM.” She said seductively…..
My head was going bonkers as my small head was directing me to grab a cab and go there while my big head said the rational thing to do was buy some snacks and go back up to the room……..
“Er….well….i do not have a choice. Let’s see whether we can meet tomorrow. Ok? Have fun…ta ta.”
I hung up and walked over to the 7-11, bought some snacks and headed back to the room …….
