So the first surprise of the night was when I arrived at Kudos to find him seated next to one of the guys from badminton. Shouldn’t mean much except the guy is the typical guy LO would go for and he had his hand on his friend’s leg, which he quickly took off after seeing me.
Umm, I had a bit of déjà vu feeling, last time a “friend” of LO appeared he turned up to be his boyfriend (small detail he hadn’t mentioned). Anyway, I sat down with them waiting for C just as normal.
Not much went on, as usual LO tends to be a bit touchy with people, although this seems to be a bit indiscriminate, well, it is if you’re white and over 35 anyway.
We later went to Heaven and for a while there wasn’t too much to worry about. Until at some point LO got touchier with his new friend and ended up kissing him right in front of me. Right, OK, interesting. Not too shocked given my experience with him but yes a bit surprising. After all we’d been in a few dates recently and we hardly had a moment when we weren’t either holding hands or some part of his body was on some part of mine.
I was more surprised he’d do that in front of me than anything else. But anyway, nothing another drink didn’t sort out.
I bit later C was busy trying to find me someone to make LO jealous in return. Not that I cared really. So he mentioned a Chinese guy that was standing on his own not too far. I said he looked ok and before I could do anything he sent his husband to ask for his number. Even worse, the guy said no and LO was watching the whole episode and made a joke about it, WTF. Great, things could not get better…
At some point we all left together. C and husband went their own way first and next LO told his friend to go get a taxi at the station for himself. As soon as he went to do so he jumped on my back to piggyback on me while the guy was still seeing us walk away. A bit later LO went his way and I mine with a good night lip kiss.
I think I am by now getting what LO is about. The guy just likes the attention and flirting with everyone without meaning much to him. Fine by me, at least I now know what he’s after.
The twist came the next day at badminton. LO’s friend was there too and TL duly informed me he’s the ex of a guy I am going to date as soon as we both find a time when we’re both free. Call it sweet “revenge”.
Small world, scarily small.

I love your stories. I assume that LO is an asian guy… they are all insecure so the flirting can be put down to the fact that they are heavily into ‘trophy collection’ They count their friends in terms of quantity and their men also
densemy, that sounds like a rather flat and unfair generalisation, doesn’t it?
