to
twist noodles around my fork – I’d tried chopsticks once before but
they weren’t for me – and I watched intently as Mark used his
chopsticks like a professional.
    ‘ So, have
you got any other brothers and sisters then or just Monica?’ I
asked.
    ‘ No,
there’s just Moni and me.’ He scooped some more noodles up and put
them into his sexy,
mouth.
    ‘So what does
Moni do then?’
    ‘She’s a
student over at the Uni.’
    This came
as a surprise considering Mark had told me she was his new
PA. ‘Oh? What is she
studying?’ I asked.
    ‘Psychology, I
think.’
    ‘ Does she
do any part-time work, then, to help pay her fees?’
    ‘Not that I
know of. She lives at home so she hasn’t got any expenses or living
costs to pay for – just her course fees and she doesn’t have to pay
them until she gets a job.’
    I placed
a mouthful of chicken satay in my mouth and enjoyed the taste of
cream and peanuts. I enjoyed watching Mark eat. Even the way he ate
was sexy. I was surprised at my feelings. I was doing my best not
to get close to him but it was getting so difficult. ‘Is that where
she meets so many fellas?’ I said giving a little
giggle.
    ‘ She’s
not that bad! She’s only nineteen. She’s too young to settle down with one guy,
anyway. We all keep telling her that.’
    ‘Who’s
all?’
    ‘Me, Mum, Dad,
you know.’ He took some gulps of his lager. ‘Wow, this Peking duck
is seriously hot, tonight!’
    ‘My satay is
too. I like it hot though!’
    He raised
his eyebrows. ‘Do you now?’ he said, flirting with me.
    I felt my
cheeks redden as I realized what I’d said. I smiled. ‘You know what
I meant! So, you said she likes her boyfriend then?’
    He narrowed his
eyes. ‘Oh, yeah. So you know her boyfriend don’t you. Some friend
of yours isn’t he?’
    ‘ He is
yes, and Cat’s.’
    ‘Well she does
like him, yes, but he knows she’s only young and as far as I know,
they are both taking it easy.’
    ‘What do you
mean by that?’
    ‘You know. They
see each other but flirt with other people when the need takes
them. They both don’t want to settle down just yet so it works for
both of them.’
    That explained
everything. My Mark didn’t want to tie himself down with marriage
and he’d been with me since school so, he too, was probably sowing
his wild oats, so to speak. ‘Well, she’s a pretty girl, so why not,
eh?’
    He took another
sip of his lager and stared right into my eyes. I felt my insides
turn over. He was seriously gorgeous and sexy. I couldn’t let
myself feel this way. I wanted my old Mark not new Mark. He leant
forward. ‘So what’s your view on dating then?’
    I felt
defensive. ‘What do you mean?’
    ‘ Are you
a one-man woman or do you like to keep things free and
easy?’
    I wasn’t
sure what answer he wanted to hear and I didn’t know what answer to
give. I didn’t want to get serious with him but I didn’t want to
spoil things either. I was always a one-man woman when I was dating
someone so I thought it best to be honest.
    ‘I don’t cheat.
If I’m seeing someone then I don’t flirt with other men. If I
wanted to do that I’d stay single.’
    He sat back in
his chair and took a deep breath. ‘I was hoping you’d say that. I
totally agree with you. I think there’s nothing worse than being
cheated on so I wouldn’t do it to anyone else.’ He seemed
upset.
    ‘Have you been
cheated on then?’ I asked.
    ‘Yeah, a couple
of times. Makes it hard to trust anyone else again, though.’
    I felt myself
becoming closer to him. He too, knew how if felt to have your heart
torn out. ‘I’ve been cheated on too,’ I said, before taking another
sip of my drink.
    He seemed
surprised. ‘Well he must have been a right idiot then that’s all I
can say!’
    I
realized that he may actually be right. Perhaps my Mark was an
idiot. I knew I had to continue with my plan to find out more about
Monica, though, so I could let him know exactly what she was
