The longest wait of my life

[unsung80]

U must be crazy to put yourself walking on thin line, but I like it!

[ilikeoldchangke]

One week after i've gotten Karen's care keys.
I remembered the day is 13th September 2011.


I was busy with work and did not realise that the day just flew by outside my room.

Massaging the ridge of my nose with my thumb and index finger, i was having a fit at having to go through all the grammer mistake my staff made for a report. My head did not rise until i heard a tap at the door.

Looking up, i saw Pete.

Pete : Wah, still here ? I'm going down to grab coffee. You need anything ?

I reached for my coffee mug only to realise the bottom is caked with dried coffee stains.

Gary : Yeah, get me a kopi-si. Thanks man. Why are you still here ?

Pete : Preparing some materials for a presentation tomorrow.

I had a short chat with Pete about the work on his hands and at the back of my mind i concluded that he should be able to take a couple more. How do i pile him up with work without being too obvious to Karen ?

I'll need to think about it.

Meanwhile i got back to the work i had.

I stood up and stretched myself and realised it's already 9pm. Looking out, the office is empty, only Pete's terminal is on.

I did a quick check around the office, even the washroom to make sure the place is empty, i even went to the elevator to check on the lift status. They're both on the ground floor.

I hurried to Pete's desk.

I saw his organiser, i gave it a few flips, he used the same coloured pen for his schedule, i can't remember offhand if there are new entries. Checking his desktop, i realised his gmail is open .

I brought up the window and gave his mail a quick browse.

Various tabs, groupons, deals, fundsupermart, some facebook notification.

Karen .

I'm looking for mail from Karen .

And there is one right on top

I opened it to see a flight itineary for Jetstar to Bkk.
It was a morning flight for tomorrow.

Below the mail Karen wrote that she'll be attending the Medical fair from 14-16th Sep at QSNCC. She'll be staying at Whereever that is.

I printed a copy of the mail including the hotel details that she will be staying and returned everything to it's original state.

Settling back into my chair, I started to think.

Should i do it ?

I will not give up a chance to spend some time alone with Karen in another country. The hardest part is letting her bump into me instead of me bumping into her.

I decide to fuck it and go ahead. I booked the earliest flight i could to Bkk the next morning. I want to be there before her.

Pete came back with the coffee and he went back to work.

It was almost 11pm when i called Pete at his desk, telling him that i need his help with something.

I explained that i had some personal issues that needs to be taken care of, i need to leave the country tomorrow morning, will be back in a couple of days. Some of my work he'll need to cover for me while i'm gone.

Nothing too tedious, mostly administrative matters, the rest can wait.

I left the office with butterflies in my stomach. I did not know what i was doing anymore, is it the overpowering feeling of not having Karen that is driving me to this madness ? I can;t tell.

I know i love a challenge.

Everything i wanted, i will get it. No exception for Woman.
I'm not a player.

I want to be the predator.

I packed light and told my wife that i will be travelling for work for a couple of days, she nodded and asked a couple of questions, reminded me to be careful and call her every night.

I gave her a kiss and tuck her into bed.

I was comtemplating what to put in my suitcase. Clothes, toiletries, my notebook and tablet.

I saw a box of condoms on my dressing stand and i packed it as well.



I worked up the next morning , dressed up in slacks and a shirt. Did a quick brush of my hair and left the house.

It felt weird getting an erection in midair thinking about Karen.

I arrived in Bkk.
This was only my 2nd time here, the last time i came with my army friends when we first ORD.

I'm surprised at the amount of changes it had gone through. There were constructions everywhere. New towers, malls, hotels.

I directed the cab to get me to Baiyoke bouqitue hotel.

I got to the hotel at 10am .

I was the only guest checking in and was attended to by 2 staff. I told them that i'm here to join a group ( i didn;t know if it was a group of just Karen ) that belong to (****) for a medical conference, would be nice if they can arrange me to be on the same floor.

The manager took a check and nodded, ' No problem '

I pretended to take out the wrong hotel voucher and passed him Karen's one instead, before doing a loud 'oops'.

Gary :Sorry, that 1 my colleague, she will check in later.

Passing him my voucher, he nodded as he keyed in some details and checked my passport.

Manager : Sir, you room will be on the 4th floor, your colleagues will be on the rooms opposite you when they check in later.

Gary : Thank you very much.

Going up to my room, i stashed some money on me, threw on a cheap shirt and pants. I brought along a old camera.

Karen's flight landed 45 minutes after mine. She should be here anytime soon.

I exited the hotel waving to the manager as i explored the immediate surrounding.

I found what i was looking for. I ordered a coffee and sat opposite the hotel entrance.

I can only wait.... for now.

[ilikeoldchangke]

It was coming to 11am, the area is getting rather busy but the boutique seemed to be tuck in the backstreet, somewhat like a little sanctuary away from the buzz of the 2 tower baiyoke.

Every cab that pulled over, my heart beat got faster.

It was coming to 12pm when i saw the familiar figure of Karen and another older lady dragging their luggage towards the Hotel.

The cab driver must have alighted them at the wrong Baiyoke it seems.

I exited the cafe quickly and went to the alley at the side. I bumped into the manager that checked me in and he was having a smoke in the alley.

I waved a hi and joined him for a smoke.

We chatted as the corner of my eye tracked Karen into the Hotel. I asked about the places to go to, where can i get good food.

I even chatted about the conference i'm here to attend, that i'm the superior of the 2 ladies now that i know there are 2 of them, will be here to check on them and evaluate their performance and stuff.

It's pure bullshit.

Even when i was fabraicating the story, it felt like bullshit.

Sometimes it's just shit talk.

I ended my smoke and made my way cautiously to the 4th floor on the stairs.
Now is not the time to bump into Karen.

I slid into my room just as one of the door opposite me opened.
Peering through the hole, Karen is in the room opposite me.

I saw them changed into formal work wear and went to the lift.

I waited for 10 more minutes before i left the room.

They should be back so early, time to explore Bkk on my own for now.
I checked my small backpack that i packed along.

A plastic cup, a pen knife and a wiremesh scrunchie for scrubbing pots i brought from home.

More waiting for me.

[chenzong]

Who is Prey and Who is Predator, still unknown....
When is next installment coming on??? We cannot wait!!!

[nudedudez]

Wah... This is a very well developed story... More please..

[ilikeoldchangke]

I couldn't think of a smart way to find out what time Karen is coming back so i did it the only way i could

I waited.

It was a long wait.

After exploring the surrounding areas, malls, i still have a few hours to kill.

As the sky grew darker, i'm afraid i will miss her entering the hotel.

At 8pm. i saw Karen and her colleague.
They stopped at one of the roadside stalls, checking out a few things after alighting from the cab.

I drained my 6th cup of coffee and left the cafe.

Going back to the alley, i looked aoround to make sure no one is looking before removing my stuff from the backpack.

Using the cup, i scoop up some of the smelly drain water and pour it over my left shoulder. I cut a notch and gave my left sleeve a good rip.

Using the dishwashing scrunchie, i wrap it around my left forearm and rubbed it down, pulling it towards my palm giving myself a bloodied scratch.

Throwing everything back into my bag and i felt the sting of the blood and open wound on my left hand. It looks bad but they are just surface scratches. Nothing that will kill me.

I smash my old camera against the wall, cracking it.

I hid in the shadow, i drewed a couple of stares but no one said anything as they walked pass me.

Karen and the friend left the stall and made their way towards the hotel.

I left my hiding place and enter the hotel a few metres ahead of them

My plight drew the attention of the doorman and he hurried towards me asking if i'm ok.

I smiled and said i slipped back in the alley, but i'm fine. I think i smell quite bad and i drew quite a few stares from the other guest.

I heard Karen's voice behind me chatting with her colleague. Just as the doormen said he will go fetch the first aid box, i heard Karen's voice again as she past by me and gave a loud.

Karen : My god. Gary ?

I looked up , pretending to look in the direction of her voice and gave the best ' i am shock ' look before trying to blurt out a few words.

Gary : What are you doing here ?

Karen : I should be asking you that...

Before i could reply, She intoduced me to her friend but we didn;t shake hands.

Karen : Let me help you with that ..

Karen helped me with my bag and camera just as the doorman came out with the first aid kit.

The helpful side of Karen seem to take over as she told her friend to go on ahead, she'll join her in a while.

Half laughing and out of pity, Karen helped me to the lift after telling the doorman that we'll return the first aid kit in a while.

Karen : What are you doing in Bkk ? work ?

Gary : No, looking for a relative. Long story... don't want to talk about it..

I must have looked really pitiful as she shooked her head and led me to her room.

Karen :Here, Come in.

I striked preemptively and said .

Gary : Are you stalking me ? I'm staying opposite you.

Karen :Haha, you overestimate yourself Gary..

Gary : Come my room instead, don't want to dirty yours.

She seemed to consider my suggestion and agreed.

Entering my room, i went to wash up my wound and i removed my shirt.

Half naked in a hotel room with Karen. Who would have thought.

I went out topless and if Karen was impressed with anything, she didn;t let it show. She helped me clean the wound as i sat on the bed.

Karen : You know Gary, i've never seen you in such a state before. haha. ALways so confident, always well dressed, haha.

I did not offer a reply just reached for my forehead with the back of my right hand.

Karen saw what i did and followed suit.

Karen : Are you running a fever ?

Gary : Feeling a little unwell..

Karen : I've got some panadol in my room. Hold on.

I forced myself to down a few big glups of water when Karen left my room, and i started digging the back of my throat. Right on que, i vomitted onto the bed, the floor, water and a mix of the coffee and sandwich i had earlier.

When Karen re-entered the room again, she slap her hand to her forehead.

Karen : Are you kidding Gary ? haha. Are you dying ?

I feigned a pathatic look as i tried to get up to the bathroom.

Karen : Take a shower Gary , you stink.

She threw a towel at me before grabbing a toilet roll and bent down to clean up my mess.


I had a quick shower before entering the room with only my towel wrapped around my waist.

Karen helped herself to a bottle of water on the desk before passing em the same bottle and throwing me a tab of panadol.

I drank from the same bottle, trying to taste her saliva, her mouth, her tongue.

She was shaking her head at me with her hands at her waist.

Karen : You're weak Gary, haha.

I took a look at the bed, trying to find a clean spot to sleep on.

Karen : Tell you what, get housekeeping to clean up the room. You can bunk with me. This place stinks.

I was secretly on cloud nine but i did not let it show.

Gary : You kidding ? Pete would freak out if he knew we shared rooms.

Karen : Oh please Gary, normally you would have jumped at the chance. haha.

I shrugged and accepted her offer.

Karen help me over to her room and onto the queen size bed.
I maintained a pathatic look on my face and closed my eyes immediately when my head hit the pillow.

Karen : I know you are not asleep yet Gary, i've got a swiss army knife btw. I will stab you if you try anything. haha..

I gave a weak smile but did not offer a reply.

I turned my back toward Karen and pretended to doze off, careful to keep exactly to the side of the bed, giving her more space.

I heard her enter the bathroom and the shower came on.


I could smell the fragrance of the soup Karen used when the bathroom door opened. I heard the hair dyer went buzzing as she dried her hair.

I maintained my posture, with my back towards Karen .

Then there was total silence.

I heard the dragging of a chair before i felt Karen's leg tapping me on my chest. I opened to see her manicured feet nudging me.

She had on her bathrobe, and she settled back into the armchair.
She tore open a packet of chips and pushed up her specs.

Karen : i've got questions.

I adjusted myself and replied.

Gary : Me too .

Karen : But first, you jolly well put on something. you are not sleeping on this bed with only that towel on.

I smiled and tried to get up before saying.

Gary : Ermm.. i think i left everything in my room. Even the card key.

Karen threw a chip at me which i grabbed and ate it.

Karen : You sneaky bastard, did you plan all this, haha. In my room without your key.

I rolled my eyes and tried to settle back onto the bed.

Karen : Kidding. How's the hand ?

I nodded, saying it's better.

Karen : Don't sleep first. i've got something to ask you.

Gary : me too.

Karen : Why are you here in thailand ?

Gary : Looking for my brother-in-law. Family money issue.

That seem to satisfy Karen as she did not probe further.

Gary : What about you ?

Karen : Work.

Gary : can i ask you something.. Why didn;t you tell Pete we were classmates ?

Karen seemed to be considering her answer before pouring the rest of the chips into her mouth.

Karen : Goodnight Gary.

She stood up and i saw her undid her bathrobe string. My heart stopped.
It cannot be this easy. No way.

Removing her bathrobe, i saw she was fully clothed inside in her pyjamas. A pair of shorts and a spag top.

Throwing the robe at me , she gestured for me to put it on.

I struggled to put on before removing the towel underneath. I had some difficulty trying the robe due to my injury and Karen stepped in.

She stood a step away from me and i felt the stir of my erection building up.

Her hands reached for the robe string and helped me to tie up.

SHe did a butterfly before sealing it with a dead knot.

Karen : Don't even think Gary, don't even think about it.

WIth that she pushed me down on my butt onto the bed.

I went to sleep with a smile on my face as i felt the matteress behind me depressed with Karen's weight



Small baby steps.
I'm taking small baby steps.

I continue my wait
