[EnigmaofSorrow]

Jason and I headed to East Point in his car. I decided not to drive and could always take a bus back later. Over lunch at KFC, I told him what had happened. His reaction was not unexpected.

J: So you finally got a piece of that ass.

Me: I didn't want to.

J: Doesn't matter. The fact is you did, and now the floodgates have opened. Plus what you're telling me about Shirley is rather interesting...

Me: She's changed alot. Like drastically. I really didn't expect this from her.

J: What's the big issue? You get to sleep with both of them, satisfy your own needs, and not have to worry about any emotional attachment! I think it's a win-win situation.

Me: Have you gone mad bro? When I left Shirley it was because of this. I couldn't stop sleeping with others. When I broke up with Diane and afterwards, I really wanted to change. I haven't even slept with your sister for quite some time!

J: I didn't need to know that. But this might actually work out for you. Rediscover your feelings for Shirley or something. If it doesn't work out, there's always Diane.

Me: You've got to be kidding.

J: I'm sure you can satisfy both of them. And I doubt they'll want it at the same time. At least make them happy?

Me: What about me?

J: What about you? You were never really an emotional person, especially after your first girlfriend. Then you met Tanya and Charmaine and Nicole and whoever else you've been sleeping with. I don't recall you being emotionally affected. Why now?

Me: I woke up? I can't be going around sleeping with girls and not looking the someone that I wanna be with for the rest of my life right?

J: I'm pretty certain you told me before that Shirley is that someone.

Me: The situation changed.

J: How so? Just because she's pregnant? Just because she's been used? Look around you. Tell me where you're gonna find a virgin these days. And so what if the kid isn't yours? You said Shirley said it didn't matter, just as long as you're together. This shows that she still has feelings for you. Very deep feelings.

Me: Even so.

J: Even if it doesn't work out eventually, look at it this way. You'd be having loads of sex with two hot girls without them wanting you to marry them. And didn't you tell me something about a six year pact with Jenny? There's your alternative.

Me: I told you about it? I don't remember.

J: Yes you did. And frankly it sounds really desperate on the part of Jenny. And even if this doesn't work out, you'll be only 34. Still loads of time to the right one. And guess what, even if you still can't find the right one, you can buy your own flat when you're 35 and be a swinging bachelor!

Me: Well, thanks for planning out my life for me.

J: Not a problem.

Me: I was being sarcastic.

J: So was I.

Me: Right.

J: Anyway, I'm sure you will be able to find someone eventually. You've been with so many girls before, maybe one of them actually had deeper feelings for you?

I thought about Tanya, who was now married, Charmaine, whom I have no idea where she was or what she was doing, Nicole, who I have not contacted for a damn long time and do not dare to. Then there were the brief flings with my ex-boss, who is now approaching 40, the student nurse when I was in hospital, and the various other girls in between which I have not written about due to memory loss from the accident.

Me: I think you're right.

J: That's the spirit! Now what are you going to do?

Me: That's a very good question.

J: You don't have to tell me. Just make sure you're happy doing it.

We finished our lunch and Jason went back to his fiancee's place, leaving me to my own devices.

I decided that since I was moving back to Shirley's place, I might as well make myself as comfortable as possible.

I headed to the third level and stood between Challenger and the game shop next to it. I was not really a console gamer so I entered Challenger to check out if there were any deals available. Almost immediately, I was accosted by a laptop promoter.

LP: Brother, looking for a laptop?

Me: Not really.

LP: Come I give you good deal. This one only $899, Lenovo, got discrete graphics card. Do you play games?

Me: Some games.

LP: This one good. Confirm can play Battlefield, Modern Warfare all that, but not on max settings.

Me: I'm more into RPGs.

LP: RPGs? Can also. This one can play Diablo 3. Coming out next week.

Me: It is?

LP: Ya la. I wait so long.

I stared at the guy, he appeared to be in his late teens, which would mean he was probably in lower Primary when Diablo 1 & 2 were launched.

Me: You played Diablo?

LP: No la. But everyone going to play D3, might as well join them.

I looked at the specs of the laptop. It did not appear very appealing.

Me: I'll think about it.

LP: Come on la brother. I throw in free ten-in-one accessories and antivirus.

Me: It's ok.

I left before he could say anything else. Besides, I could always get a desktop from Sim Lim Square. And I was seriously considering getting Diablo 3.

Before I left East Point, I dropped by the Watsons and bought an obscene amount of condoms, lubricant and even some vibrating cock rings.

I guess I had already decided that I was going to be a fucker. Literally.
