Hi Reader, I pulled an all-nighter, making calls to our Hong Kong office when they opened at midnight UK time. My writing suffered, but I will get back on track with this, a Surrogate, and hopefully a KEJ by late tonight (UK Time)
I will also get to my messages today, for which I thank you all. I hate being tardy, and I hope you will please accept my apologies.
I sat on our bed beside my new boyfriend, gawping at my old boyfriend, who stood at the door.
“What are you doing here, Douglas?”
“Are you with Silas now?”
“Yes.”
Douglas looked jaded but seemed happy. By the look of him, he had partied hard and still had two beautiful gymnasts attached to his arms. They were still full of zest and looked ready to go again. One girl gave me a sleazy look with a naughty smile, waving her hand from down low where it dangled out of my ex-boyfriend’s sight.
While he weighed our situation, I eyed Douglas suspiciously, wondering whether we had a confrontation or parting of the ways ahead.
“Is there still room for me in a relationship with you, Alice?”
“I’m afraid not, honey. There is no easy way to say this, but I am with Silas now.”
“But you still share others with him?”
“I’m not discussing this, Douglas. I have rules.”
I stood and approached him, wearing the underwear I was about to peel off in preparation for a pre-dinner spa with Wei Lin, Mei, and my new boyfriend. I felt anxious about me and Douglas but otherwise decadent and bubbling with sexual enthusiasm to get on with our spa session.
