[milkyshake]

So far I'm resisting the urge to read this story. Knowing bro OCK prowess in story writing, I don't want to suffer in agony while waiting for new installment to be posted.

I was feeling horny and aroused thinking of the state Cidney was in but I knew it was not the right time to ask for sex.



I am a sensitive man and of course I’m sensitive to Cidney’s feelings at the point of time.


She must have felt so helpless and lost and I was her only pillar of support.



I knew she may have hinted that she was willing to do it but I could not take her word for it. People may not always mean what they say.


I knew there was a potential for this to turn out in a spectacular manner and I had to play my cards right.




It felt like I was stranded in the middle of a jungle, trying to start a small fire. Cidney’s current mentality about sleeping with Beng Soon was like a small spark. A small kindle that I was trying to nurture into a big flame.


I had to be careful, shelter it from the wind.




I had to thread carefully, making sure there was enough dry wood nearby for the fire to catch on.

Like a cancerous cell, an idea will slowly take root.


I quote this from a famous movie.

What is the most resilient parasite ? Bacteria ? A virus ?

It is an idea.


An idea is resilient, an idea is highly contagious.

Once it has taken hold of the brain, it’s almost impossible to eradicate.





We fell asleep in each other’s arms and when I woke up, my small clock in the room was already showing 8.30am

Cidney woke up moments after me and I told her to get changed and wash up.

I want to bring her out for breakfast.



9.15am

I made no mention of the situation. I spoke nothing of the confrontation we had last evening.

I did not even want to bring the subject up.



I brought Cidney to a neighbourhood hawker centre in Bedok south, we enjoyed our morning breakfast of noodles and soya bean drink.

We chatted and laughed, watching the Sunday crowd do their weekly shopping at the wet market.


There were moments of silence, but I made sure Cidney was not quiet for too long.



I quickly thought of new things to say, I thought of new subjects to bring her mind away from whatever she was thinking.



The way our mind works is beyond me, but I knew something was bothering Cidney. And the more I wanted to draw her attention away, the more her mind would want to cling onto whatever thought that was bothering her.


Yes, I bet she was mind fucking herself thinking about the possibility of sleeping with Beng Soon.

It cannot be something concrete yet, she was still lost at the crossroads, I needed to slowly nudge her in the right direction.




She needed to come to her own conclusion.

After breakfast, we went for a short walk before taking a train to Tampines.



12.20pm

We shopped; I bought her clothes, towels, small items and trinkets. I could see the more I tried to take her mind off the subject, the more she was thinking.



She was appreciative of what I was doing , I could see it, I could feel it , Cidney tried to bring the topic up when we head for lunch.


Cidney : James…. About Beng Soon….


James : Don’t……. let’s enjoy our weekend… not today…

I smiled my best smile and put my hands around her shoulders.


I hugged her close, I wanted her to feel safe and loved by my side.


We grabbed a quick lunch and headed back to my place.



2.00pm

I told Cidney to take a shower before trying out some of the clothes we bought.

I turned on my desktop and decided to put on a good show.



I logged in to my unit trust account, calling up my holdings page , I don’t have much inside, probably around 15k.

I put in only 10 in 2009 when the market was bad, I selected the sell option and let the page bring me to the confirmation page.



I left it at that window and I brought out some savings plan that I had bought.

I reset the screen saver on my pc to 3 minutes.




I left the file open on my table, making sure Cidney would be able to see the policies I own.


I took some work folders and got ready, waiting for Cidney to be done with her shower.




I waited near the kitchen, and when I heard the shower stopped, I did a brief dash to my table , mentally counting the timing in my head.

I got back to the entrance of the kitchen again, Cidney should be drying herself and putting on her clothes , she would be opening the door anytime now.



I heard the latch open and I quickly ran back to my desk.

I pretended to talk on my phone, I had my work folder on my lap.
My eyes staring intently at the reflection on my screen and I could see Cidney approaching from behind.



I pretended to do a quick turn around and I was sure she was what I was doing, I quickly changed the active window to one which was playing youtube videos and I used the work folder I was reading to cover my savings policies on the table.


I placed the folder in a way that was marked, I aligned the corners to certain items on my table.


I pretended to excuse myself on the phone and hung up.



James : Eh… ya yah… help me check ok…. Call me back…. Yup… I got to go…. Alright…. Bye…..

I turned to Cidney who was drying her hair and gave her a hug.



James …. Hmmmmm.. you smell good..

Cidney laughed and squirmed herself out of my hug.


Cidney : What are you doing ?

James : Nothing… just checking some stuff.





I hit the paused button on the video I was playing on the webpage and the moment my hand left the mouse, I started counting out the seconds in my mind.


I told her I’m heading to the shower and I took my towel and left the room.



3 Minutes . 180 seconds.

I was pretty sure Cidney would look through my stuff but I needed confirmation.



I wanted her to know I was willing to go all the way to help her, I wanted to put her in a difficult position

I wanted her to start thinking that if she was willing to sleep with Beng Soon, she would solve all the problem.


I would not need to sacrifice so much to help her.




I went to the bathroom and I continued my counting.

I did not start showering, it was normal for me to spend some time shitting and I just sat on the toilet seat and counted.



When I hit 180 seconds, I flushed the toilet, unlatched the door and made enough noise.

I was still counting in my head.



I had a drink of water before making my way slowly to the room.

I stepped into the room when I was at 235 seconds.

My screen saver should have been up by then.





I walked in and my screen was still active.

The moment I laid eyes on it, I started counting again.


I told Cidney I dropped my towel onto the floor and I needed a new one.

She was just sitting at the edge of my bed, drying her hair.




I got my towel and pretended to check my phone.


My mental count hit 60 seconds and I confirmed that the alignment of my folder was different, Cidney had seen my savings policies.


I fiddled with other stuff and delayed more time until I hit 145 seconds.

The screen saver came on and I knew Cidney was browsing my stuff until she heard me left the bathroom.




I was smiling to myself as I took my shower.



2.45pm

We were cuddled up in the living room watching tv when Cidney tried to bring up the topic again but I told her not to.


James : Cidney , don’t worry… don’t think about it. I’ll sort it out.


I hugged her again, knowing full well that her mind must be swirling with thoughts about Beng Soon’s demand.

Cidney was persistent and tried to talk to me.



Cidney : James…. Don’t sell your investments… we can think of something…
I pretended to give her a looked of surprise before composing myself and tried to lie in the worst fashion possible.



I avoided her eyes and fumbled a little in my sentences.

James : What… wha… I don’t know what are you talking about.

Cidney : James….. please…



I waved her off, telling her to stop thinking about the matter.
