After our stick we headed across the bridge to Parkway Parade. The Starbucks
was relatively empty so we decided to go there. At that point of time, I did
not drink coffee at all, but did not have a choice, so I ordered a mocha
frappucino, as advised by Nicole, as it seemed to be the most “un-coffee”
like drink. Now, I’m a coffee addict who cannot start my day without a
kopi-o gao kosong.
As expected, Nicole was curious to know what happened to me in the past few
months. Usually, I am not a person who reveals much of my personal life to
anyone. This time around, somehow I felt that Nicole was someone I could
trust, despite not really knowing her. Her demeanour and friendliness put me
at ease, and soon I found myself telling her everything, including the
intimate details of my relationship with Charmaine, all over my first ever
cup of coffee.
She did not judge either of us, although I could tell she was kind of
shocked when I revealed the darker side of our relationship, especially the
sado-masochism, and unnatural sex. It probably helped that Nicole did not
know Charmaine, and thus would not have any pre-conceptions of her.
However, now Nicole really had a lot of things to blackmail me with if she
chose to.
But so far, almost 10 years on, none of the stuff I confided in her has come
out, except on this forum of course.
While we were chatting, I received a couple of SMSs from Charmaine asking
where I was but I chose not to reply. Nicole noticed this.
N: Girlfriend wondering where you are?
Me: Yeah. Don’t bother about her.
N: I won’t. But perhaps you should?
Me: Erm.
N: She is your girlfriend after all…
I tried to change the topic.
Me: Want another coffee?
She saw right through my plan.
N: Look, I’m in no position to judge, but it seems to me this girl is mad
about you.
Me: Mad is really appropriate.
Nicole slapped my hand.
N: Hey. Be nice.
I took out a cigarette and lit it, Nicole did the same.
N: I hope you are thinking about it.
Me: Huh? Thinking about?
Seriously, at a small corner of my mind, I was having lewd fantasies about
the girl sitting opposite me.
N: Your relationship. School. Your plans for the future.
Me: Hmmm.
N: Well?
Me: I’m thinking!
N: You are at a crossroad in your life. Whichever path you choose there will
be choices, decisions and consequences. Don’t make a decision until you are
sure you can live with the consequences.
Me: That’s profound.
N: Just weigh the options. At least you are still young, and you can learn
from the mistakes you make now so you don’t repeat them.
I really thought about what she said. Just then, my phone beeped again. It
was another SMS from Charmaine.
C: U FUCKING BASTARD!! U SAID U ONLY BUY PROTEIN Y U STILL W HER?? DAT
SLUT!BITCH! I KILL HER!
Me: Oh great.
I looked around to see if there was a psychotic murderer hanging around the
place. True enough, Charmaine was nearby, and walking over to us with a
vengeance.
Me: Shit.
Nicole did not seem perturbed at all. She simply lit another stick.
Charmaine came right up to us. I stood up. She had a cup of coffee in her
hand.
Me: Hi babe, wanna join us?
C: BASTARD! HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME!
Me: Do what?
C: CHEAT ON ME!
Me: I didn’t.
C: THEN WHY ARE YOU WITH THIS SKANKY WHORE?
N: Hey. Watch your language.
C: SHUT YOUR TRAP BITCH!
Me: Charmaine, get a grip on yourself. It’s not what you think.
C: DON’T LIE TO ME!
