The Indomie Man<br />

“I’ll see you when I see you,” I answer him, making for the door.<br />

He grabs me by one arm and follows now, all the way to door. I stop. He leans forward<br />

and kisses me s<strong>of</strong>tly then slowly lets go. I stare blankly into his eyes, heart racing as I am<br />

overwhelmed with the sincerity and gravity <strong>of</strong> the gesture. I push him. I push him back. I<br />

push him all the way back until we are both back in the bedroom and he eventually drops<br />

unto the mattress on his back. Then I kick <strong>of</strong>f my sandals and mount him. He is unbelievably<br />

quiet as I pull my skirt out <strong>of</strong> the way and spread my legs. In a split second, he locks his<br />

hefty chiselled arms around my waist, and switches our positions. Then he invades my<br />

mouth, tongue coiling and recoiling around mine whilst his hands fondled places. I moan<br />

and sway my hips beneath his mass determined to match his fire.<br />

He stops. Abruptly.<br />

“Spend the night,” he blurts out. “For once. Please. I’d love you to”<br />

“Oh shit,” I check my watch for time. It is 9.45pm.<br />

“I’m sorry. Maybe some other time,” I raced to the door with my sandals in my hand until I<br />

boarded a taxi.<br />

On the drive home, I mentally slap myself over and over. I can not understand why I go to<br />

see him in the first place. Also, why kiss him back? Now he’d probably think me easy to<br />

get, another loose girl just like the rest.<br />
