The following few days went on as usual, with me and boss meeting up after work to satisfy each other’s sexual urges. On some days when we were tired, we even skipped the dinners and movies, going straight to sex and bidding goodbye after we were both spent. Our lives were also beginning to get boring and we were in need of something to spice it up.
I suggested we take a short break, applying for one day leave and going over to Batam to relax and enjoy ourselves. Jessica played her part, buying sexy lingerie and even a crotchless thong to inject some new excitement into the relationship. Upon reaching Batam, we lazed around by the beach and had seafood for lunch before proceeding to check in to a hotel for a whole afternoon. Both of us tried equally hard to get the mood going, but the sparks of romance were no longer there. Memories of that night with Casey in the Jacuzzi kept invading my mind. Both of us knew it was over and she broached the subject.
Jessica: You look distracted today.
Me: yeah… I was just thinking that we…we… its not working out.
Jessica: yep, we just aint having the connection. Don’t get me wrong though, its not your fault
Me: I agree, maybe we should just let it cool down a little
With that, we decided to take a break from seeing each other , just as we took the ferry back to Singapore that evening. I never knew it was that easy to let go, but with the matter off my chest, I could now breathe with ease.
That night, I had a dream. No, it wasn’t Casey in the jaccuzi and no, it wasn’t Jessica. It was Claire giving me the betrayed look that night, the one image that was still lingering around in my mind. As I woke up and broke into cold sweat, I felt guilt at having let her down. She had really loved me and did so much for me, and all I did was to leave her in the sidelines feeling hurt and fooled. Deep down, I knew that I had to repay her for all she had done.
