By the time I got home it was already way past lunch time. As expected Mike and Tom were playing Diablo again.

I popped into the computer room to say hi before I went to shower.

M: Had fun?

Me: Ok la. Just drank too much so I slept over.

T: How's EoS?

Me: Huh?

T: I thought I saw him go up with both of you?

Me: Yeah. He was being a gentleman and sent us up.

T: That's it?

Me: I think so? We were both very drunk.

T: So he could have had his way with you both and you wouldn't remember?

Me: I guess? Didn't see any used condoms though.

M: Haha. Who would leave evidence behind?

Me: Good point.

T: Besides, I think he doesn't like to use condoms.

Me: Really?

T: Which guy does?

Me: The safe kind? Like Darren? Haha.

T: Aiyah. Whatever happened, has happened. Why don't you ask him what happened?

Me: After such an embarrassing incident? I don't think so.

M: Maybe he enjoyed it.

Me: Whatever la. I'm going to shower then go back to sleep. Fucking hungover now.

M: I didn't see you drink a lot.

Me: I drank with Alicia la. She was feeling down.

M: Well, with this kind of news, I don't blame her.

Me: Why?

M: I'm pretty sure they're going to get married after she gives birth. And unless they're like Darren and Nat, or even us, I don't think whatever special relationship she has now with Mark will continue.

Me: He's her first choice leh. Surely that means something.

T: She's not his first choice obviously.

M: Maybe she just needs a new constant distraction.

Me: You volunteering?

M: Haha. I've already got my hands full with you, April and Rebecca. Tom can have her.

T: What? Sure. Wouldn't mind being a distraction. I'm pretty sure she enjoyed our previous sessions.

Me: Don't be assholes la. She just needs time to adjust.

T: Well, she knows how to find me, if she needs a reminder.

Me: Idiot.

I left them to their game and went to take a shower, before settling into bed again. For some reason, I wasn't hungry at all.

I dropped Alicia a text to let her know she could talk to me if she needed to. Or perhaps I was looking for something more? She replied almost instantaneously.

A: Thank you. Sometimes I feel I'm still very childish. Sorry for using you.

I didn't exactly know how to reply to that but I replied anyway.

Me: No worries. You can use me anytime.

She replied with a smiley face.

I dropped EoS a text next.

Me: Hey! Happy birthday! Hope we didn't do anything that might have spoilt your birthday!

I guess everyone was replying instantly now.

EoS: Hey. Thanks. Don't worry about it. I gotta say Alicia is really rough though.

Me: Shit… We really don't remember what happened. Were you rough too? Cos I was kinda sore…

EoS: Nonono. Nothing of that sort happened. It's just the way she was handling the equipment?

Me: Oh. Was I better?

EoS: Haha. You seemed more interested in Alicia. Thank god.

Me: What? Damn. You're kidding right?

EoS: You distracted her enough for me to escape.

Me: No… Seriously?

EoS: I guess I should be thanking you for saving me.

Me: You mean you wouldn't have enjoyed it if you got fucked by us?

EoS: I wouldn't know and frankly, I don't want to know.

Me: You're seriously a mystery.

EoS: Hence, the nickname.

Me: Right.

EoS: Well thanks again then.

Me: Will I see you again?

EoS: Who knows?

Me: I think you're a really nice person to talk to, to hang out with.

EoS: So I've read.

Me: Now if only you're aren't so aloof all the time.

EoS: I am?

Me: Life is short. Let yourself loose.

EoS: The things I've done in my life, probably made it shorter. Plus my health issues…

Me: That's why you need more exercise. Pls join Mike and Tom. Mark looks like he needs the exercise too.

EoS: Kind of lazy these days. Works tiring and all that.

Me: You're very welcome to join me. And Alicia. And Crystal. And Shirlyn.

EoS: I'd rather not.

Me: Just me then?

EoS: Haha. You never give up do you?

Me: Rarely.

EoS: The thrill of the chase even if it gets you nothing?

Me: I guess.

EoS: I wish you good fortune in the wars to come.

Me: Did you just quote Game of Thrones to me?

EoS: Wow. You heard that phrase?

Me: I watched Game of Thrones for the sex and nudity. Haha.

EoS: I'm rewatching it cos of House of the Dragon season 2.

Me: It's out?

EoS: Not yet. Next month I think.

Me: Do you watch it for the sex and nudity too?

EoS: Nope. I bought the books. Took too long to read it. Watching the show is faster.

Me: I thought the series didn't follow the books?

EoS: Not entirely I think. But I'm so lazy to pick up a book these days.

Me: E-books then.

EoS: Nah. I'll just watch the show.

Me: So what are you doing for your birthday?

EoS: Nothing much. Already celebrated yesterday. Probably just hang around the house.

Me: And to think you could have had us both last night.

EoS: Hahahaha. No.

Me: Alright then. I'm going back to sleep. Fucking hungover.

EoS: Have fun fucking hungover then.

Me: Very funny.

He stopped replying so I went to sleep.

It wasn't any surprise that when I woke up, Mike and Tom were still playing Diablo.

Me: What's for dinner?

M: What would you like to eat?

Me: Hmmm… pizza? I'll order so you two can just continue playing.

M: Ok!

I decided to get Domino's and flopped onto the sofa while waiting.

Barely half an hour later, the doorbell rang and I collected the pizzas. The delivery guy had this sort of shocked look on his face and that was when I remembered I wasn't wearing a bra. I thanked him for the delivery and shut the door.

I called them out to eat. It was like trying to get 2 kids to stop playing games and get their asses to the dinner table. But these 2 kids were giving me good sex so who was I to complain?

After dinner, they went back to playing their game while I browsed through Netflix, not really watching anything.

As we all had to work the next day, they stopped gaming at 10pm and joined me in the shower. I don't think I need to describe what happened in there.

Just as I went to bed a text came in.

“I don't know why, but I miss you.”
