I said must be half an hour ago. Then what were you doing, why did not you awake me she asked. As you said today is rest day, we don't have anything t...o do so I was just lying beside you and looking at the sleeping beauty. She smiled and kissed me on my forehead and wished me good morning sunny and left the bed to bathroom. I ordered for tea, we had tea watching morning news on TV. She entered bathroom I wished I joined her, at that time her mobile rang. Aunty shouted from bathroom to see who. We politely thanked her and handed her a generous tip. Before the taxi door had even closed, I turned to Kathleen, wide-eyed with disbelief.“What the fuck?” I said. “Why did you leave me hanging like that?”She giggled and blushed. “I…I wasn’t sure if you were supposed to finish or not.”“Seriously?

He never mentioned anything about how he and Agnes carried on though."So you are still a virgin, a bit out of the ordinary these days," she said after he had told her his life.
