We were awakened by one of Charmaine’s brother knocking on the door. I glanced at my watch it was past noon.
Bro: Mei! Do you want lunch?
She went to open the door. Her brother peered in.
Bro: I saw shoes outside. You brought a guy home?
C: Ya.
Bro: He better be a good guy.
C: He is.
Bro: Not going to intro?
C: He’s sleeping.
I was not, but pretending to.
Bro: How come suddenly got boyfriend?
C: It just happened.
Bro: You came back late last night?
C: Ya.
Then he saw the scratches on her body.
Bro: Oi. What happened?
He tried to enter the room but she stopped him.
Bro: Wah lau, how come all the guys you with so rough one huh?
C: Class chalet last night. My ex tried to be funny.
Bro: What? Where’s he now? I’ll teach him a lesson.
C: No need la. My new boyfriend protected me.
I smiled. So she really did consider me as her boyfriend.
Bro: Really ah? That’s good? He knows kungfu also?
C: Not really. He got beaten up quite badly.
Bro: Issit? Haha.
I got up and wrapped the blanket around myself.
Me: No I didn’t!
And then I recognised him. Charmaine’s brother was one of my sister’s church friends.
Bro: Oh. It’s you. Aren’t you like 15?
Me: Er.
Bro: Wah mei, you cradle snatcher…
C: Siao. He’s 17.
Me: Yeah.
Bro: I see. So how’s you sister? I haven’t seen you in church recently?
Me: Er. Haven’t gone for quite awhile. Sister is fine.
Bro: This is funny. Mei, you should have seen him in church before what…
C: Didn’t notice.
Me: I was, er, different. Last time.
This was getting really strange. Maybe Singapore really is too small, and everyone is interconnected somehow. I never noticed Charmaine in church before, and neither did she notice me. What made it weirder was that pre-marital sex was frowned upon, and yet both of us were not virgins. Society was indeed changing.
Bro: I’ll leave you two alone.
C: Can I borrow the car later?
Bro: Ok. The key is at the usual place.
C: Thanks.
She closed the door and locked it.
Me: Small world isn’t it?
C: Yeah.
Me: So you don’t go to church anymore?
C: Now and then.
Me: You bad girl…
C: Bad boy…
She hugged me. I felt her soft breasts press against my body. She touched the bruise.
C: Does it still hurt?
Me: A little.
C: You poor thing.
Me: Not so poor anymore now that I’ve got you…
She smiled and hugged me again.
C: Why me?
Me: You asked me out, remember?
C: Yeah. But I didn’t expect us to be together. Not this fast anyway.
Me: It’s been a few weeks we’ve been dating. Not long enough for you?
C: I don’t know. You could have any other girl…
Me: I don’t get this feeling with any other gils…
C: Don’t expect too much from this ok?
Me: What do you mean?
C: I mean I’m not a sex toy…
Me: Oh that. But I am! Haha…
C: Idiot. I don’t just sleep with anyone.
Me: I know. Neither do I.
The sex demon deflated. No doubt I was horny. But this girl was something special. Or that was what the strange feeling in my chest was saying anyway. I could take advantage of her then dump her, but something was stopping me from doing so. And I had yet to find out what it was.
