“Heh, I told you the egg would hit first. You owe me two bucks.”
“Of course it hit first, you nitwit, you tossed the damned thing out before I even got ready.”
“Eh, nobody said life was fair, now pay up.”
“Fine.” Gwendolyn dug into her pockets and dug out a fist-full of coins. She stared at the pile as if counting, before shoving the whole lot down Stacy’s pants.
“Hey! Bitch!”
“Hey, nobody said life was fair. Let’s eat,” Gwen took another peek at the car owner downstairs, but he and his car was gone. “Eh, car wash dude is gone”
“I’m not surprised,” There was the clinking of coins hitting the floor at Stacy took off her pants to empty it out of whatever coins were left. “Get me chicken rice.”
“Oh, nice try, but you’ll never seduce me with that trick, Stace,” Gwen giggled as she skipped out the door of Stacy’s bedroom. “Chicken it is, then.”
Stacy sighed when she heard the front door close. Loudly. Muttering to herself about how she was going to bed Gwen someday, she flicked on the power switch and watched as her monitor slowly came to life.
“Faster, lah, stoopid machine!”

Gwen shifted her weight from foot to foot; impatient as the elevator took it’s time…elevating… to her floor. Her hand phone started to vibrate from within her pocket. It was a text message from Vincent. She grinned to herself. What perfect timing. She twirled her thumbs before typing out her reply in a flurry and punching the ‘send’ button. And just at that moment the elevator doors give off its annoying beep and opened.
Everything’s working like clockwork. Must be my lucky day. Should I try to buy Toto? I’m sure Vince can spare a few dollars change.
The elevator doors opened again on the seventh floor, and Gwen headed towards one end of the HDB block. She’d only met this Vincent at his place once before, but the route to his unit was easy to remember. Besides, He lived six stories directly below Stacy. She giggled again. If only they knew.
Gwen reached his front door and started pounding on it.
“Hoi! Vince! Open up! Before your ugly blue door gets smashed in!” There was a yell from within that sounded more like a squeak, and sounds of unsteady hands fumbling to get a key into a lock.
“Are you crazy, woman? Wa lau, if my neighbors hear that they’ll think you were some loan shark leh. I got a bloody reputation to keep you know?”
“Which reputation? The one where you sleep with sixteen year old girls?”
“Shut up! Besides, it’s legal, what. And you’re not sixteen, so what’re you complaining about?”
“I’m not complaining about anything. I’m just in a good mood today. So are you going to let me in, not? Or are we going to do it here?”
“Err, Gwen, are you ok? We can always put this off until another time…Ok, ok, Stop staring at me like that.”
Gwen stepped inside the door and made a bee-line for Vincent’s bedroom. The latter was left standing at the front door muttering to himself about how sometimes, getting laid was just not worth it.
Stepping into his bedroom, he found Gwen already half naked and in his bed.
“Gee Gwen, I didn’t know you were so eager to see me… What’s going on man?”
“Nothing, it’s just your lucky day. I’m in a really good mood today.”
“Ho? I guess we should make full use of it then!” And with that, the both of them disappeared under the sheets and the only thing a casual observer would have heard was the constant rhythmic creaking of Vincent’s wooden bed frame.
***
Over an hour and score minutes later, that same casual observer would have heard groans and squeals of the couple within the room. That, and the ringing of Gwen’s hand phone.
“Oh shit, it’s Stacey!” Gwen shoved Vincent unceremoniously off her and scrambled across the bed to get to her jeans.
“Who’s Stacey?”
“My best friend…Now shh! Stacey? Hey! Erm, no, I’m still wandering around Jurong Central…”
“Ah, best friend, you think she would–”
“She’s a lesbian, now Shh! So sorry Stacey honey, I’ll be back as fast as I can, ya? Ok, Bye!” Gwen tossed her hand phone aside and brushed a lock of shoulder length hair out of her face. Hair that was dyed brown, with streaks of white, as is the current fashion.
“Wow, that was close. I was supposed to go get lunch for the both of us…”
“…And instead you came here to me? Gwen I’m honored!”
“Don’t flatter yourself, lah. Anyway, I got to go le. Can you drive me to get some grub?”
“Grub?”
“Food!”
“Oh, Ok, no problem.”
