JD stopped in his tracks, he turned back and asked, "What did you just say? Suffering? And you think I am not suffering from your lies? Kai, you have a live in girlfriend and I am just another play toy you flirt with, how could you be suffering?"

Kai shook his head furiously and repeated, "JD, I am really suffering. I am really in love with you. I have never felt this strong connection with another guy before. Yes, before you, there were guys and those were flings but I am really serious about you! All I am asking for is more time for me to work this out with my girlfriend. I can?t just break off with her like that."

JD looked at Kai's sorrowful eyes, he couldn't bear to see his ideal man looked so defeated but he has to maintain his stance, to protect himself and Kai. He said, "Kai, it is impossible between us. How are you going to break off with her? How am I supposed to handle the fact that I am a relationship wrecker? How long will you be with me till you find another strong connection girl?"

Kai had wanted to speak but JD cut him off, "Kai, thanks for the sweet moments we had but we are not meant for each other. Stay faithful to your girl, stop your flirtatious ways. You are not being fair to her." With that, JD walked out of the pantry.

Robbie came over to JD's cubicle during lunch and asked, "Lunch? I have an appointment at 2pm so we have to do a quick one." JD looked at Robbie and asked, "Since when I have agreed to be your lunch mate?"

"Quit bitching and get ready. I don't have all the time in the world to wait for you. See you at the lobby in 5 mins, I am going to the Gents to touch up." Robbie walked off immediately after his last sentence, leaving JD baffled.

Robbie was at his usual bitching ways during lunch, bitching about everyone from the receptionist to their superior. JD just could not believe how bitchy Robbie was when his thoughts were interrupted by Robbie's sudden change of tone, "So, tell me, you have totally rejected Kai's advances? He looked like shit today!"

JD replied, "There's nothing between us. Not before, not now and not in the future. Please don't ask me such things anymore." Robbie smiled and placed his palms on JD's, nodded and said, "I am glad you are able to break out of it, it's for your own good."

The rest of the day went peacefully especially since Robbie was out the whole afternoon. JD was about to pack up when his phone rang, "Hi JD, Hendrix here. Knocking off soon? Free for dinner?" JD replied with a smile, "Sure. See you downstairs in 10 mins?"

"I am already here. Downstairs at your building lift lobby." Replied Hendrix.

JD walked passed Kai's cubicle and did not bothered to stop to check on Kai. He knew he had made the right decision of not developing further with Kai. JD was about to enter the lift when someone called out to him.

He pressed the stop button and looked out and saw Kai. "JD, can we do dinner? Please?" Kai pleaded. JD shook his head and rejected, "No, I can't. I already have a dinner date, Kai. You saw him before."

Kai clenched his fist tightly, bit his lips and forced JD into the waiting lift. Once inside, he tried to control his anger unsuccessfully, he shouted, "Why are you doing this to me? Bring out another man to challenge me? You want me to be jealous? Ok! I am jealous! Happy?"

JD felt his anger boiled up as well, he argued, "Kai, you have no right to stop me from going out with other guys! We are not a couple. Hello, for Christ sake! You have a girlfriend and the maximum both of us went were pure sex! Animal instincts! Nothing more!"

When the lift door opened, JD stormed out with Kai followed closely behind. When Kai saw Hendrix waiting at the lobby, he went ballistic. He grabbed JD and pulled him to a quiet corner. "Tell me now! Is it that you will only be happy if I break off with my girlfriend this instant?" Kai said under his breath, barely audible.

Hendrix walked towards them, with a worried look. Kai had wanted to push Hendrix aside but was stopped by JD. "Don't be a brute, Kai! We are in the lobby, mind you!"

Hendrix said calmly, "Shall we go elsewhere to settle this? This is seriously not an ideal place to do this. You are Kai, right? I am sure you wouldn't want any of your colleagues to witness this awkward situation?"

"I don't need you to remind me, dude! This is between me and JD. Step out of this or you will be sorry!" Kai threatened.
