The Internship

[SiGinna]

Very well written story. Hope to read more.

'What the fuck..' Edmund mouthed.

'Ssshh..' I widened my eyes and continued pressing my finger on my lips.

'Ok guys let's go~' we heard our colleague from the other end call for the rest of us.

'Your face damn red by the way' I giggled as we walked behind the rest.

Edmund kept shaking his head, speechless.

The walk to our dinner place was pretty uneventful because I spent most of my time talking with my female team members. I kept looking out for Edmund but it seems like he was always preoccupied with others. Was he processing what just happened? Thankfully Edmund stuck true to his word and sat beside me when we got our table.

'Cheers guys! And welcome Claire!' one of the seniors toasted.

'Eh.. Isn't that John?' another colleague pointed out to a group that just got seated.

I guess another department was also having drinks there that night. I didn't recognize anyone so I didn't really pay them much attention.

'Eh you ok right? Like a bit quiet..' I asked Edmund when I finally got him alone.

'Ya... Still in shock..' he shook his head again.

'Hahahaha.. Really meh..' I kept looking around to make sure no one could overhear us.

'Aiya but you're a good sport lah.. I will cheers to that..' Edmund clinked my glass.

'I know right! Cheers!' I laughed.

'Eh Claire come come let me introduce you..' my manager dragged me to meet the people from the other department.

I shook hands with some, waved at some, and did a lot of nodding as they pass on their words of wisdom to me.

As the night went on, the rowdier people became. I was beginning to feel a little buzzed.

'Hi.. Claire right?' someone introduced himself when I was alone.

'Yeah hi!' I switched on my corporate voice.

'I am Reuben from earlier.. products..' he looked at me hoping I remembered.

'Ahhh.. Yes yes..' I do remember.

It started with me just being nice and continuing the conversation, but things became more natural and I got comfortable and let my guard down.

'So you have a boyfriend?' he finally asked.

'Ermm... It's complicated..' I replied.

'Ahhh.. Situationship?' he replied.

'What the fuck? Wow uncle you know situationship?' I blurted out laughing, I was a little bit drunk at this point.

'Duh.. I am not that old please.. Not double your age..' he laughed along.

'Sucks to be attached right? That's why complicated..' he smiled.

'Omg.. Ya!! Have to be accountable for so many things.. So I guess you are single?' I asked.

'Situationship also' he laughed.

'Hahaha.. Aww.. Trapped old man? Can't go out to have fun anymore?' I joked.

'Wow.. Daring young lady over here ah..' he commented.

For the first time that night, I totally forgot about Edmund. Reuben was really charismatic and carried the conversation well. All I had to do was participate. I was slowly getting mesmerized.

'Oh so how old are you? Like ballpark figure' I finally asked.

'Taboo question leh.. Even for guys.. But I'm less than double your age lah.. You are what? 22 or 23 right?' he guessed.

'Yeah.. 22! I see.. So late 30s? Aiya age is just a number lah.. Besides they say the older the ginger the spicier it is right..' I commented.

'Haha.. You wanna try spicy ginger is it?' he joked.

Before I could reply, another colleague interrupted and told us that the group was going to go to Marquee to continue the night. It was then that I realised Edmund existed when I saw him smoking with some of his friends.

'Claire you're coming right?' the colleague asked.

'Hmmm... Maybe not... I am quite buzzed already..' I looked at Reuben, hoping he would reject it as well.

'Yeah.. I am out too bro..' Reuben replied as his gaze met mine.

Did he get the message I was trying to send him with my eyes?

'I guess that's a yes Claire..' Reuben looked at me.

'Hmm? Yes to what? Clubbing? No I don't wanna go' I replied.

'No.. Yes to you wanting to try old ginger..' he smirked.

'Ermmmm.. Ok.. Wahh.. You... Ok.. Shit.. You caught me off guard.. Let me compose myself..' if my face wasn't red from drinking, it was red now.

His one sentence literally made my pussy wet. And yes, I wanted to try this old ginger.
