Robbie and JD took the lift to the ground level and walked out of the office building when someone called out to JD. JD turned and saw Hendrix running up to him, "JD, can I talk to you for a second?" said Hendrix. Robbie gave a knowing look and walked away.

JD was feeling embarrassed by Hendrix's action and said, "Mr Hendrix, I really think we should keep our relationship purely professional." Hendrix looked hurt but still managed a smile and said, "JD, just give me a chance to know you better. I was waiting for you till now, at least hear me out. I know it's impulsive but I really hope to know you as a personal friend. Just don't turn me away, ok?"

"Mr Hendrix, you have to understand that my life outside work is totally irrelevant to my work. At work, I have to be professional and I don't meet clients on a personal basis." JD maintained his stance.

"Then don't see me as your client, see me as the guy who bought you drinks at the club. I just want to know you better. This is my personal contact. Keep it." Hendrix stuffed a name card into JD's hands and bid goodbye.

"Whoa. You are quite something eh? That man looked delicious and he obviously is smitten with you. Damn, what's so wonderful about you? That man is a catch and I don't even have such quality man going after me." Robbie joked when both of them sat comfortably at the bar counter in Onyx Club.

"When will you be more serious, Robbie? That guy is getting on my nerves and I am already so preoccupied with the other stuffs!" lamented JD. Robbie gave a pat on JD's shoulders and encouraged, "JD, I have told you not to fall into Kai's trap. He is a player in this field, you are young, fresh, cute and attractive, of course he will target you but you should be wise enough not to see through this infatuation?"

"Why do you keep saying such things, Robbie? I don't think Kai is what you said. He told me that he liked me. He just needed more time to sort things out with his girlfriend." JD argued.

"What?! You guys have developed to this stage already? Have you slept with him? My! How silly can you be? I have warned you numerous times and yet you are still hooked? JD, you are not the first person that Kai said he liked, and you will not be the last!" Robbie finished his sentence without taking a single breath.

JD looked at Robbie unbelievably and quipped, "You mean Kai said such things to you too? He said these things to others as well? That's impossible! Even if he doesn't mean it, at least our kiss is the testament!"

Robbie grabbed JD to face him and whispered, "Both of you kissed? To each other? Of course, what am I asking? But But..he kissed you? Now, that's news. I know Kai is flirtatious but he has never crossed the border of kissing someone. Well, at least he cherishes his kiss, I think. But I can tell you, he has bedded at least 3 female colleagues this past year but darn! He never hits on me."

When JD reached home later that night, he saw Kai's Mazda 5 waiting in the car park. Kai got out immediately when he saw JD, JD quickened his steps and had hoped to avoid Kai but unsuccessfully. "JD, I need to talk to you." Kai pleaded.

Kai drove JD to a nearby reservoir and parked in a quiet corner. Both of them stay quiet for a long while and finally JD broke the silence, "You said you needed to talk, are we talking or not?" Kai tried to hold JD's hands but JD shied away.

Kai took a deep breath and said, "JD, I know I am at fault for lying to you. But I am truthful of my feelings to you. I meant all I said to you, all I ask for is a little more time for me to sort this out with my girlfriend." JD looked at Kai and saw his sad look on his face, he couldn't bear to see such a lovely face looking so sad and replied, "Kai, I felt like an idiot. You have a girlfriend and I am just some guy you kissed. Are you gay? Bisexual? Or confused?"
