It’s fairly obvious I wanted to drive a wedge in between Aaron and Selene but one thing that gave me the opportunity was Aaron’s temper.


If he was not so easily riled up, I would not have been able to do it. If he were a little more calm and composed, I would not be able to gain an edge easily.


Then again I had no right to criticize him since I myself was likely to react in the same manner as he did if our roles had switched.




4.30 pm

I got most of my work done and replied to most of the mails that needed our attention.


There were a couple that needed Selene’s reply so I left them at that although I felt like going ahead and doing it for her since I had access to her laptop.



Selene work up shortly after and I jumped in my seat when I saw the Tv beside me blinked to life before hearing a tired giggle coming from Selene.

James : Wah lau…. Will get heart attack one leh.



She was fiddling with the remote and surfing through the channels. It seems like the nap did her some good and there was colour back in her cheeks again.


I carried on with some work which did not really require much brain, basically forwarding and shooting arrows out and when the Tv blinked shut 15 minutes later, I heard a lazy yawn and saw Selene stretching in the bed.




Her tight frame stretching to reach the boundaries of the bed as her delicious body continued messing up the blanket, ruffling up the sheets and knocking every pillow out of place.


James : Are you ok ? Hungry ?


She nodded but gave a sigh at the same time.



I took that as a que and stopped what I was doing and went over to her side.
It was obvious I wanted to sit beside her on the bed and what surprised me was she actually made room for me, shifting her body which was a little tangled among the blanket a little to her right.


I took the corner beside the window and I saw her turn her body towards me.


James : Do you need to talk ? I’m a certified relationship counselor.




She laughed and passed me a pillow with a little too much force.
We were both quiet for a good 30 seconds when Selene asked me a question which I had to think for a while before answering.


Selene : Are you always like this when you were with Cidney ?

I did not know exactly what she meant or what she was trying to ask so I played it safe.



James : What do you mean ?


She shrugged her shoulder before adding ;

Selene : You know… like .. this… very lame and corny ? haha



I smiled and did an innocent tease on Selene.

I gave her nose a quick gentle pinch and speaking at the same time
James : Well, I’m not being corny and lame, I’m just like making you smile.


Selene giggled and tried to brush my hand away but it was too late, I had already done the deed and she was trying to hit me back for doing it to her.

It seemed to me that she was trying to pinch me back and I took it as a good sign, a sign that she wanted to engage me physically and I decided to make it harder for her.




Remember when I said she was a little tangled with the blanket, when she tried to reach for me on her left, I did a quick switch over to her right and grabbing the ends of the blanket at the same time.

I was fast and I managed to grab on to the ends of the blanket before Selene could react.




Selene : Arhhhhh….. stupid…. Idoit…. James !...




I just laughed but I had 4 ends of the blanket in my hand and I twisted them together. It was not a tight hold and I definitely did not have the strength to lift it off the bed but it was enough to keep Selene tangled and bundled.


She was kicking and laughing but I manoeuvred the ends accordingly adjust to her attempts to free herself.



James : Haha…ok… now would be a good time to talk about my appraisal and bonus.


Selene : Haha. Arghhh… no way…. You can kiss everything good bye.. arghhh..



It was a tiring fight and when I sense Selene giving up barely a minute later, I slowly eased on my hold.

Even though I let go, Selene made no attempts for a counter maneuver, and we both waited for our racing hearts to calm down as we breathe in the cold air of the room.


Selene turned away from me and I released my grip and just basically stood around before going back to her side.

I sat beside her and just looked at her body. She was fiddling with the ends of her hair and I gathered up a few pillows.



Without touching her physically, I pretended I was building some giant lego blocks and started to create a wall of cotton around Selene.


Selene : Haha. What are you up to this time ?

I replied only after I surrounded Selene with the pillows.



James : Keeping you safe…






She said nothing but I could see the upwards movement of the side of her cheeks, evidence of a slight smile, as she took and hugged one of the pillow.


I left her alone and went back to the desk.
After what seemed like 15 minutes of silence, she spoke in a soft voice.


Selene : What do you think of Aaron,….James

James : I only met him once Selene. I can’t answer that question.



Selene : Do you like him ?

James : I’m not Gay Selene..….



Selene : Hahaa… be serious..





I took a while to reply but Selene waited for it.



James : I don’t know, he seemed a bit hot tempered but…. But… perhaps he’s just concerned about you ?



I could tell the current situation was bothering her but I did not want to talk about Aaron so I suggested we head out for dinner and maybe to the shopping center to take our minds off things.


Anything thoughts about Aaron should be done in her mind, not in an open discussion with me. She had to think about Aaron, think about the things he did, then eventually draw her own conclusion.

James : Lai la… come, let’s go enjoy ourselves for one evening and not think about anything else.

She seemed seduced by the thought of shopping and she got out of bed before heading into the bathroom.


I too washed up and changed into berms and T-shirt while Selene wore the same attire I bought for her. In actual fact, both of us were rewearing the limited clothes we have.




James : Hmm. I think we need to shop for some clothes.

Selene : Haha. I think so too, I’m beginning to think I stink.



We stood in front of the hotel entrance at 6pm sharp hoping to get a cab. Selene’s sleep shorts only had 2 shallow pockets, and since she did not bring her dead phone out, she only brought along some cash.



I caught a quick glimpse and estimated it to be about RM150 give and take.

We got a cab to the famous hawker area by the sea and had a quick dinner before declaring that we smell like satay and fried kuay tiao.





We entered the air-conditioned shopping area at 7pm and for some unexplained reason, we both just paused at the entrance, taking in the colourful lights and the shops.


I turned towards Selene and raised my right arm, adding in strongly accented English.


James : Shall we ?

Selene laughed and she looped her hands around mine.




It was a refreshing and erotic feeling but it lasted only a while. Less than 2 minutes perhaps but it was still a small victory for me. She let go the moment she saw a shop she wanted to visit.


We spent 30 minutes inside and Selene got herself sorted out with enough clothes to last another 2 days if we wanted to.

Needless to say, she bundled everything in her hands and came straight to me for money.




Selene : Can I borrow some money James ?

James : Hmmm….. I charge interest.. you know..


She gave me a playful kick and made me hold on to the clothes while she reached for my pocket.




That was the first time I felt her hand slid down the back of my pants, it was a quick one, like a flash of lighting but I could feel her fingers, her delicate long fingers that would one day wrap around my manhood.

She retrieved my wallet and helped herself to my credit card.



Selene : Don’t worry, I’ll pay you back

She stuck a tongue out at me before she went to the queue.

We spent 2 hours in the mall, shopping, laughing, and we shared a cup of ice cream when she commented about putting on weight.



Whenever Selene wanted to buy something , I would offer to pay with my card as much as possible.


Shoes, clothes, belts,socks, even a couple of plain shorts and quirky t-shirt.
She bought a particular t-shirt with a print of an abstract painting that came in men’s size. I took the opportunity to buy one in my size too and hiding it deep within my own bag.




I quickly dashed to the pharmacy and bought condoms, and lubricants, I did not want to risk Selene seeing those so I actually threw them away and I kept only the receipt. I paid for those in cash.


I double checked and made sure the items were printed clearly and folded it away.

[ilikeoldchangke]

By 9.20pm , we were on a cab back to the hotel and Selene said she was feeling a little queasy again.


I could feel my phone vibrating a couple of times and I guess it had to be Aaron calling but I ignored it.

Right when I paid the cab driver, I got a message from Aaron on my phone.



Aaron sms : Hi, Can you get Selene to call me ?


I ignored it again as I did not want to spoil the moment.






9.45pm

Selene took another dose of her medicine before heading to the shower.


9.55pm

My phone rang and it was Aaron.

I wanted to jump on the bed and scream because it could not have come at a better time.


I quickly answered.


James : Hi Aaron.

Aaron : Hi, I’m looking for Selene….



James : Ermm…. Gimme a moment.

I went to the shower and knocked, and I was sure Aaron could hear everything.



James : hey… Selene…. Selene…

Selene : What ?



James : Phone call….

Selene : Later …



I got back on the phone and told Aaron Selene was in the shower.


He was quiet for a good 3 second before he asked me to tell Selene to call him back.




When Selene came out of the shower, I told her about the conversation.






James : Eh Selene… Aaron doesn’t sound too please, you want to call him back ?

Selene : What did he say ?

James : Ermm.. nothing but I could tell he’s not too happy.





I passed her the phone and told her I could excuse myself if she liked.

She shook her head and told me it’s not necessary.





I pretended to pack some of my stuff and when the call connected, I could hear Aaron’s voice from where I stood. He was practically shouting and Selene raised her voice too.

Selene : Can you be freaking reasonable !!!. you are paranoid!!.




The shouting match did not last long and Selene hung up barely 2 minutes later and just stared at me.



James : I’m… I’m sorry… it’s all because of me… I’m… I’ll call Aaron and sort things out.

Selene just shook her head and wiped away a stray tear;




Selene : no need… it’s not your fault.

I left her alone and I went for my shower




10.15pm

James : Hey… cool down… we’ll be back tomorrow and you can sort everything out with him.

Selene : Would you be angry if you were in his shoes ?


I gave a smile and said I would be concerned but I would trust her with my heart.

Selene smiled and looked away




10.30pm

As promised, I took the couch and I dimmed the lights.


I set a timer for 12am and kept my phone in my pocket.




12am

I woke up with a buzz in my pocket and I quickly turned off the alarm. I stole a peak at Selene and

I got up as quietly as I could.



I wanted the receipt for the clothes I bought for her. She had held on to some of them, most of them were squashed, some bundled together.



She had it on the table beside the plastic bag, I unfolded it and I began to slip a couple of them inside the bag among the layer of clothes that she would be bringing back with her.

I also place some crushed up ones in the tote bag, trying to make it seem inconspicuous.




I could not think of where to put the condom purchase so I folded it into a small square before dropping it into a plastic which Selene got from some shop but had reused it several times to put new purchases.

I also added to the mix some other useless receipts i got from my other trips to malaysia which does not have my signature on them. The items we just normal unassuming items.



I could always say the receipt could be from some other customer or something and somehow it fell into her bag if she ever asked


I retrieved my Victoria secrets receipt and I put in in the same bag that came with the lingerie which Selene was using for her wore clothes.
Most of the receipt slips carried my signature proudly.



Of course I did not take all of it but left a couple of the bigger ticket items which Selene would want to hold on to at the same place on the table.


There was no guarantee that Aaron would see them or even come across them but it’s a possibility. It was just a gamble. A gamble that I hope would pay off.





I tried to put myself in Aaron’s shoes.

I tried to reason and think why I would want to pick Selene up at the airport and what I would do afterwards.



I would probably try to snoop around in the bags, why ?


Because I would want to know.


I want to know what she had been up to, and I wanted to see what kind of evidence I could get my hands on.


And I could only hope Aaron was thinking along the same line as me.



There was no telling the amount of damage these simple receipts would do.



I could only hope he chance upon them







I dropped Aaron a message.


Sometimes the more you try to explain, the more you would muddle things up but I decided I had to fuck with him a little more. I sent him this message.



James sms : Hi Aaron, I believe I need to clarify a couple of matters. It is purely a work trip and Selene fell sick, things went wrong , time got delayed, resulting in a missed flight.

We’re not even packed for an extended stay.

There were not enough rooms despite us being on the waiting list but I took the couch in the room. I just want to prevent any misunderstanding that might arise because of this incident.

Don’t worry, I’ll make sure she gets home safely .










I did not expect a reply and I did not get one. I merely wanted to reaffirm that I was sharing the same room with his wife to be and there was nothing he could do about it.


Perhaps all he could think of that moment was why am I still up at 12am sending him messages.






9th March 2012

Saturday


Selene vomited a little after breakfast but we manage to make our way back to Singapore with any further incident.

I saw Aaron at the gate waiting for Selene and I told her to go ahead while I shopped at duty free.




The weekend was quiet and Selene was not in office for the whole of Monday morning.

Selene finally arrived at noon and I had to speak to her about work.



After one hour with her, I asked if everything was ok with Aaron.

I felt the sick joy in my heart when I saw Selene’s facial expression changed the moment I mentioned his name.





Selene : He’s gone a bit bonkers… I don’t know what is wrong with him. He kept saying you are up to no good initially, then after that he accuse me of having feelings for you.


Selene looked away when she spoke the 2nd part before looking back at me.



She went on to say that he went through her bags saw the new lingerie I bought and he threw a fit and demanded she throw them away.



James : Errrr….. okay…. It’s just clothes… and you have nothing to wear at that point in time.. If i… knew…


Selene : It’s not your fault James, I’m just ignoring him for now.




Right before I left the office, I threw Selene a question which would no doubt get her to start thinking.

[ilikeoldchangke]

I gave a bit of frown on my face and tried to put on my best concerned look.





James : Selene ……. Why is Aaron going through your luggage behind your back ?




It must have caught her off guard as she just stared at me with no reply even though her mouth parted a little as if she had an answer for my question.


I gave a casual wave, brushing my own question off and got back to my seat.



I deliberately walk past Selene’s office again to head to a colleague’s desk and I saw her lean back on her chair, looking up into the ceiling and i really wondered what was going through her mind at that moment.



I was feeling pretty good that day actually, everything seem to be slowly falling into place.


8.20pm

I was one of the last few to leave office that day and i chanced upon Selene and Aaron at the bottom of the stairs in front of the office.

It was an awkward moment when our eyes met but i just gave them a casual wave before making my way to the train station.


I manage to catch Selene turning and walking away from Aaron before i turned.



11pm

I received a call from Selene.

Selene : Can you take one more renovation job ?

James : Ermm.. ok... send me the details. Who's the client ?




Selene : Me.... and Aaron. It's his place. We're planning to do it up before i move in



I immediately replied a little too fast.

James : Selene.... it's a little touchy situation. I don't think this is the best time...



She cut me off halfway and i swore she sounded a little spiteful.


Selene : I don't care James... just do it. I'll email you the drawings within the hour.




12.20am


I looked through the details and it was a fairly simple job.



I called Beng Soon and asked to meet him at the end of the week.


Beng Soon : What is the plan ?


I told him that he would need to make a loss for this particular job but i would reimburse him as much as i could.



Beng Soon : Why ?



James : I'll explain later. you just need to remember one thing and only one thing.


James : Give a price and no matter how much i insist, you do not budge from it.



Beng Soon : Ok... what else.



James : I will get Selene to bargain with you about the price and i want you to flirt with her in front of her Fiance.


Beng Soon : Wah lau, will i get wack or not...


James : Haha... who dare to wack you ?




Beng Soon went on to tell me that he had already bought the items i sent him and i told him to keep them ready.


We should be needing them pretty soon.




Right before we ended the phone call, Beng Soon asked in an embarassed manner.

Beng Soon : Eh.. James... Any chance... Selene....


I knew what he wanted and i just told him honestly.


James : Sorry. Selene is mine........but maybe we can still work something out, just looking can't be half as bad right. haha.


Beng Soon : Haha. you're a fucker James... ..


James : I think so too.
