A Love For Keeps

A Little Bump

(DAYU)

"Who is this guy again?" AhnZong asked me as we strolled the aisles on a liquor store.

"Just someone." I said.

"Just someone?" AhnZong sounded skeptical. "Yet you took a leave from work just to find him. And you asked me to take a leave too, to help you look for him. But he is just someone? Are you kidding me right now?"

I sighed and turned to my friend. AhnZong is actually my senior when we were just students in the University. But now, we both work as teachers on the Academy my family own. AhnZong is a PhysEd teacher while I teach History.

AhnZong is tall, built like an athlete with a face every woman noticed. He got this jock aura in him. A player type.

Well, AhnZong is a player and a self confessed womanizer. But he goes for a certain type of lady.

"Divorced women are the most convenient choice, Yu ah. They are older, wiser and more experienced. Plus, they are already disilliusioned about love that they don't expect it anymore. They won't want to be married again..."

Jerk. AhnZong is a collosal jerk. But his difference is he admits he is a collosal jerk.

But as big of a jerk AhnZong is, he is a dependable friend. We have known each other for close to eight years now and had been coworkers and friends for three years. So far, he hasn't given me any reason to doubt the friendly hand he had extended to me.

Even now, he is complaining but I know he will not leave me to do this search on my own.

"And why are we looking for this guy in a liquor store of all places? Is he a drunk?" AhnZong frowned at me.

"No," I sighed. "He said he works at a brewery company that...oh!" I spotted what I have been looking for. I strode to the gin section of the store. "Here it is," I pulled one bottle of gin from the display case. "Here, the company where that guy works makes this gin." I presented the bottle to AhnZong.

AhnZong took it. "KaiShing Brewery. Nice. It also has an address here. Quite close." He presented the address to me. I took my phone out and took a picture of the address before we safely put the gin bottle back on the display case. "What now?"

"Let's go there. I have to meet this guy," I said.

I have to know if he is telling the truth. If IronMan has told me the truth and if he doesn't have any incriminating photos or videos of me. I passed out drunk that night. That is my mistake. IronMan learned my secret, I have to make sure it will stay as a secret.

Why didn't I confronted him back in that hotel? I should have confronted the man right there and then. Why am I such a coward? Now I am scrambling to find the guy to ask him about things I am afraid of.

I am pathetic.

AhnZong and I went back to my car. A modest type silver colored car I got using my own money. It's quite new, my car. I have to save my salary for one and a half year to be able to buy it. It's not fancy or flashy but I love this car.

"Do you know that place?" I askes AhnZong.

"It's in the business district. Sure..." AhnZong is sitting on the passenger side. "I will navigate you..."

"Okay," I started the car and we started moving.

"I really don't know what is going on but this is new for me. You acting like this." AhnZong said.
