Showdown

Had one of the most freaking moments in my life last Tuesday..

After my weekly treatment, I met up with Fat Boy to have dinner at Han's in Far East Plaza. Was initially quite pissed off by his cold attitude towards me, but both us warmed up when we strolled to Zara flag store (Shopping therapy eh?) After leaving the store empty-handed (as there was really nothing to buy), we proceeded to Chevron House to collect the New Year goodies on my desk. After putting the goodies his car boot and as it was still early, I suggested walking to the night bazaar in Chinatown (to absorb the festive atmosphere as well as to see what other stuff I could buy : P ) As I was lazy to carry my bag, I stashed it in his car boot as well (which turned out to be a big mistake : ( )

When we went back to the car, I got my bag and was shocked to see 33 missed calls and 5 messages, all from King Kong. He knew I was out with Fat Boy and must have felt afraid that I might crumble again. He mentioned in his last message that he was going over to my place and I freaked out; I replied immediately telling him not to and I hoped he got my message.

Reached the loading/unloading area and while both Fat Boy and I were unloading the New Year goodies, I caught a glimpse of King Kong standing a few hundred meters from us. I signaled him not to come over; but he continued to walk towards us and Fat Boy saw him. My heart skipped several beats..

Fat Boy : Who are you?
King Kong : I am here to look for her (pointing at me)
Fat Boy : (Gave a you-come-over hand gesture)
King Kong : (Returned the gesture)
Fat Boy : Let's sit down and talk
King Kong : (Nodded and proceeded to the round stone table at my void deck)
Fat Boy : (Proceeded to the round stone table as well)
King Kong : I think you should be out of the picture long ago
Fat Boy : Uh? What are you talking about? Can you explain?
King Kong : Both of you broke up long ago and why are you still around?
Fat Boy : (Look at me) Who is this guy? Do you know him? Who is he to you?
Me : (Looked down) Ya, he is my friend
Fat Boy : So he is your friend, tell me, what about me? Who am I to you?
Me : (Paused) Boyfriend
Fat Boy : See? So why are you here to disturb my girlfriend?
King Kong : (Looked at me) Tell him la! (Looked at him) Can I have a private word with her?
Fat Boy : No. why do you appear out of the blue and disturb my girlfriend?
King Kong : Can I have a private word with her?
Fat Boy : How many times must I say no? Try harder, maybe I will say yes when I am tired
King Kong : (Flustered) Ya, I will continue to try until you say yes
Fat Boy : Can I talk to you in private?
Me : (Afraid that they might end up in blows) No! I want to be involved!
King Kong : Can you just leave her alone?
Fat Boy : I won't. If you continue to disturb her, I will call the police now
King Kong : Go ahead
Me : (Grabbed Fat Boy's mobile phone) No! Don't do this!
Me : I am very tired. Shall we just go home?
King Kong : Alright, I'll leave

Those wee hours, which should have been committed to beauty sleep, were spent on explaining to both parties : ( I slept at 3:30am in the morning and there was great temptation to take MC the following day (however I did not, ultimately)...*Sigh*, these 2 aggressive men..don't they know they are making my head spin?
