Darryl & Kenny (Part 14 - Kelvin)

The night was unbearable for Darryl as he keeps having spasm, even with just a light touch will send him into spasm and to make thing worst, he is vomiting non stop throughout… It even brought him to tears…. Kenny was so helpless… Finally the doctor came and injects some medication to relieve Darryl and help to sleep… However nurse still come almost every 2hrs to check on him.

The next morning, Darryl feels slightly better as the vomiting has finally stop but not the spasm though… Lionel dropped to visit before his shift started and even brought a bouquet of flower along…

“Awww…. That so sweet of you…” Darryl said.

“Don’t mention… Just a formality… hahaha… Anyway I will drop later again in the evening to maybe catch up with you 2…”

“Sure…”

With that, Lionel went for his shift and Kenny heading for home as well… Darryl was alone in the ward when Kelvin comes by shortly after Kenny left…

Kelvin: “Hey… Are you OK?”
Darryl: “Hey… Thanks for coming… Am feeling better… U just missed Kenny…”
Kelvin: “I know I saw him… I purposely missed him…”
Darryl: “Why?”
Kelvin: “I feel really bad and been blaming myself that I am the one to blame for you lying here… and I don’t know how to face Kenny..”
Darryl: “Don’t be so silly… Has nothing to do with you… It’s my own recklessness that got me here… Don’t blame yourself at all…”
Kelvin: “But….”
Darryl: “No more but… It’s really not your fault…”
Kelvin: “I just don’t know what to say… After the conversation and you are in the hospital… And I don’t know how to tell Kenny…”
Kenny: “I already know…”

Both Darryl and Kelvin look toward the entrance and Kenny was standing right there. Kelvin was shocked but Darryl was relaxed…

Darryl: “Thought you went home...”
Kenny: “Decided to get you some bread just in case your parent run late and you feel hungry…”
Darryl: “Thanks… You are the sweetest…”
Kenny: “I know… I shall leave you two to sort thing among yourself…”
Darryl: “OK… Love you…”
Kenny: “Love you too…”

During this whole time, Kelvin just keeps his head low and keeps quiet. He only acknowledge when Kenny bid goodbye to him... Darryl was looking at him when finally he look up to Darryl…

Darryl: “What’s wrong?”
Kelvin: “I just don’t know how to put it in words…”
Darryl: “Already tell you it has nothing to do with you… It my own recklessness that get me into this…”
Kelvin: “It’s not about that…”
Darryl: “Then?”
Kelvin: “Can you imagine how I am feeling now when i heard he says he love you?”
Darryl: “Ermmm….”
Kelvin: “I thought I can hold my feeling for you but after the kiss and the sort of confession, it just blew out of proportion now… It’s hurt me so much to hear that from you now…”
Darryl: “But we have always been doing that so what difference does it make now?”
Kelvin: “Because I love you too…”
Darryl: “I love you too but as a buddy and friend… I cannot give you what you want from me because I love Kenny so much… I cannot deny the fact that there are times I feel stranded in this monogamous relationship and wanted to break free but I just cannot do it… I just don’t have the guts to hurt him or make him sad…I feel so bad when he was here with me last night yet grateful that he didn’t leave me here alone… I cannot give him the best in term of materials but I have to at least try to give him “ME”… And that is what I wanted to give him now… He deserve so much more…”
Kelvin: “I am not asking much but just being with you…”
Darryl: “You are my best friend and close pal beside Robin and Kenny… I don’t want anything to change or any awkwardness between us… I don’t want you out of my life or anything of that sort but I can never love you the way I love Kenny… I don’t deny that night I feel nice talking to you and opening up to you… And frankly, I haven’t have much chance to do that with Kenny and it does make my heart that very moment but when I woke up and think it through while I was driving to work… I realized something… And that is I love you but not the same way as my love for Kenny…”
Kelvin: “You know I don’t even mind having a 3 way relationship… “
Darryl: “Don’t be silly… You deserve so much better… You are a good guy why want to settle for a 3 way relationship when you can someone who loves with everything he has… So why do you want to do this to yourself?”
Kelvin: “So that I can with you…”
Darryl: “Are you not being with me now? Everything we share and done so far, are you telling me all these are unreal? And you are doing these just so you can get near to me…?”
Kelvin: “No… I love being with you but I wanted more than friends… I just wanted more than that… There are time, I imagine myself in your arms,, I imaging myself kissing you and even making love to you… The person next to you is not Kenny but me… I even mistaken Zac for you…”
Darryl: “I….”
Kelvin: “I don’t know what is wrong with me… I know you are happily attached and I know your love for Kenny will never change for now… But I just hope… I just hoping that… that…. I can be yours…”
Darryl: “I don’t want to lose you…”
Kelvin: “I can no longer control myself for not loving you… I can no longer hide it… I don’t want to be just friend… I don’t know why am I doing this to myself but I just cannot take it anymore… I just cannot…”

Kelvin turn around and walk out of the ward… Darryl tried to stop him but he is in tremendous pain when he tries to move… He sees Kelvin walk out and think

“Will I ever see you again? Is this the end of our friendship….”

Darryl & Kenny (Part 14 - Hospital)

“Mr Tay…. Mr Tay….” Darryl slowly opens his eyes and a female paramedic is calling out his name….

“Mr Tay... Can you hear me? Mr Tay….” The paramedic called out again and Darryl nodded his head…

“You have met with an accident and we are sending you now to the hospital... Don’t worry everything will be fine… You just take a rest and we will be reaching soon….” With that Darryl went unconscious again…

The next thing he heard was “Bed 12… awake… Called Dr Lim…” Within minute, someone called out his name…

“Hey, Buddy… Lionel here…Are you doing ok?” Darryl nodded…

“You have hurt your spinal disc during the car accident and the orthopedics are scheduling you for an op to replace the damage disc within the next 2 hours…”

“How did you know?”

“What a question? I am in A&E department remember? Supposedly to be off duty until I saw you being wheel in so decided to hang around to ensure you are fine…”

“Thanks…”

“Kenny is outside… I called him in…”

“Thanks…”

Kenny came rushing in…

Kenny: “Are you ok?”
Darryl: “Sorry to make you worry…”
Kenny: “Don’t be… You be ok… I have informed your family as well because I cannot sign the consent letter on your behalf…”
Darryl: “Thanks, Dear…”
Kenny: “Silly…That what we are in a relationship for right,,, To be there for each other…”
Darryl: “Dear, I got something I need to tell you…”
Kenny: “Not now... Nothing is more important than you getting well and live my future with me…”
Darryl: “But I need to tell you…”
Kenny: “I know what you want to tell me…”
Darryl: “Huh…”
Kenny: “I am not deaf and you guys are not that soft when you speak… It is not important at this moment… I just want you to get well and so I can lean on you and leech your fortune away…”
Darryl: “Then you should wish I am killed at the accident…”
Kenny: “Rubbish…. Look like I no need to be here at all since you can still joke…”
Darryl: “Don’t go… You know I need you…”
Kenny: “Of course I do…”
Lionel: “Hey, there is someone outside looking for you… So I assume is your parent”
Kenny: “I go out and bring them in… I see u in awhile….”

Soon Darryl was push into the operation theatre for the operation, everything went smooth… By the time Darryl is up, he is already in the ward with Kenny dozing off by the bedside…He tried not to wake him but Kenny seems to know that he is awaken…

Darryl: “Hey…. Did I wake you up?”
Kenny: “I must have dozed off… how long have you been up.?”
Darryl: “Not more than 5 min… Saw you sleep like a baby... Where are Mum and Dad?”
Kenny: “I get them go home first… Told them that I will be here and tomorrow morning they will come and look after you while I head to work…”
Darryl: “You actually tell them that…”
Kenny: “Yup… As you know your mum, I need to come up with something so that she can go home and rest…”
Darryl: “Thanks… But you should be home to rest… You didn’t really rest since last night…”
Kenny: “Am ok as you are ok…”
Darryl: “I am so sorry to make you worry…”
Kenny: “Yes, you should… Why are you so careless?”
Darryl: “I was just thinking of something and lost track…”
Kenny: “I know what you’re thinking of…”
Darryl: “You do?”
Kenny: “You don’t call me Mrs Tay for nothing, right? It got to be something to do with Kelvin…You guys have a fling and you are thinking of how to break the news to me right?”
Darryl: “Not even close… I don’t have fling with him and I am thinking of how to sort it out with him then to break the news to you…”
Kenny: “I don’t know how you going to sort it out? Look like I need to fend off my competitor… Hmmm”
Darryl: “You seriously not concern about this…”
Kenny: “I can’t stop him from feeling for you… Who am I to tell him anything? It’s you who need to know what you want…”
Darryl: “I know I want to be with you and only you but last night when he suddenly lean over and kiss me I was caught by surprise…”
Kenny: “He KISSED you…”
Darryl: “Erm, yes…. Am sorry and I know I shouldn’t have but….”
Kenny: “Relax la… I’m not angry…”
Darryl: “You are not?”
Kenny: “Because I heard what you say this morning about you loving me so I know that you really love me and if you can turn back time, you will not allow it to happen…”
Darryl: “If only I can turn back time… But I can’t”
Kenny: “Just don’t think about all these at the moment… Concentrate in getting well so that we can spend a lot of time together…”
Darryl: “But I promise Kelvin will talk to him tomorrow”
Kenny: “Leave that to me… I have already informed him about your hospitalization.”
Darryl: “OK…”
Kenny: “I’m sure if he care for you, he will not pressed to talk about it now…OK… Get some rest… “
Darryl: “OK.. But I need to pee…”
Kenny: “Go ahead…”
Darryl: “Erm… I need help…”
Kenny: “Darling, you are attached to the urine bag… So just pee…”
Darryl: “Oh… I din even noticed…”

Darryl & Kenny (Part 13 - What happen next?)

It came so unexpected… It was wrong but the feeling was nice…

“NO! NO!!... This is wrong!!!” Darryl thought and pushed Kelvin away

Thought it was just a touch on the lip but lasted like forever. Darryl turned away and dare not look at Kelvin…

“Sorry… I just couldn’t help it… I know I shouldn’t have… I’m sorry… Maybe I should just go… Sorry” Kelvin said and was about to leave

“Why don’t you just stay? It’s late plus you been drinking so it not really safe to drive…”

“But…Just now…”

“Don’t worry about it… we are just under the alcohol influenced…”

“Sorry… I shouldn’t have…”

“No sweat… Go to bed… Good night…”

Darryl went back to his room and closes the door… His heart is beating fast and a strange feeling arises…

“What is happening? Why am I feeling like that? What is wrong with me? I love Kenny… Stop thinking… And go to bed….” Darryl thought to him… But it turned out to be a sleepless night…

The next morning, Kenny came home with breakfast and Darryl wake up wash up and join him for breakfast. Kelvin was already at the dining room when Darryl was out…

Kenny: “Good Morning!” Darryl lean forward to give a kiss on Kenny…
Kelvin: “Good Morning”
Darryl: “Morning… Sleep well last night…”
Kelvin: “Yup… The bed was very comfortable in fact”
Darryl: “So I make a right choice…”
Kenny: ‘So how’s yesterday? Am so tired to even work on a weekend…”
Darryl: “It was ok; we just go GROSS-ceries shopping as indicated by him and then IKEA to get some stuff… Then dinner and then home to chill lor…”
Kelvin: “Yup… We were expecting you to be home already but yet… Hmmm”
Kenny: “I also wish to be home but since my promotion, my boss is like going crazy on me… Golf games, conference call, Big meeting, small meeting all have to go… I might as well live in the office… Save time travelling as well… Though he says I am off today, I can guarantee he will be calling me later… Poor me…”
Darryl: “I know it hard on you…”
Kenny: “I so wanted to quit my job and just be home and do nothing for a while before looking for a new job”
Kelvin: “But it still too early, maybe things will get better when u settle into your promotion… Now you could be just a little too unfamiliar with the role and job scope.. Or maybe your boss is just trying to let u get use to more thing before deciding what you can be entrusted with…”
Darryl: “Kel does make a point here… Why not just hang in there for a little longer and see how things goes.. If really not something you want, then quit…Don’t be impulsive.. Things may get better once you are use to it and know how to delegate downward…”
Kenny: “I guess so… Anyway, you two enjoy the breakfast… I really need to sleep…”
Darryl: “OK… I’ll finish up and head to work soon…”
Kelvin: “Me too…”
Kenny: “I’ll call you when I wake up..”
Darryl: “OK… Night dear…”
Kelvin: “Night!”

Kenny walked back to the bedroom and closed the door… A unspoken awkwardness immediately arise between Darryl and Kelvin the moment Kenny turn around.. Both of the remains silence throughout breakfast… But Darryl was kind of nervous as he worry that Kelvin will ask him about the kiss last night… But he did ask him

Kelvin: “Hey about last night… I am really sorry and shouldn’t have done that… But I just cannot control myself when I see you… You make my heart skipped the moment I lay my eyes on you… I don’t know why I had been suppressing this feeling for you until last night…”
Darryl: “Stop… Don’t say anymore… This is not the right time… I think you are still drunk from the wine last night…”
Kelvin: “No I am not… I am very sober and I know what I am doing last night… I didn’t sleep and I have been thinking of you and how I want to be with you… Though I know, it may be impossible but I just love you and I cannot control myself… I tried but it just grew deeper and deeper... I just cannot resist you…”
Darryl: “Why are you telling me? You shouldn’t have say anything… You shouldn’t have…”
Kelvin: “But I don’t want to hide it anymore… “
Darryl: “Please… This is not the right time…”
Kelvin: “Then when is?”
Darryl: “I don’t know but I know that I love Kenny… I don’t know why this sudden change in our relationship… But I don’t want this to stop us from being close… We have so much fun and laughter together… And all sudden, this might change… I don’t want to lose you as a friend… It is not as simple as 123… So can we not talk about this… Not here and not now…”
Kelvin: “Guess I will never able to talk about it again…”
Darryl: “Please… Kenny is inside… Right now. I really don’t think we should be talking about this… Please….”
Kelvin: “I understand… It all about Kenny…”
Darryl: “No it not all about him…”
Kelvin: “Then what?!”
Darryl: “Shhhhhhhhh….. Both of us need to go to work so can we just put this behind… OK I promise we will have a dinner tomorrow… Only both of us so that we can talk this over… OK?”
Kelvin: “OK… Tomorrow…”
Darryl: “OK… Tomorrow… I really need to go to work…and I din even eat my breakfast…”
Kelvin: “Sorry…”
Darryl: “It’s ok…”

While Darryl was driving to work, he just don’t know how to react to the confession from Kelvin… They are the best of friends and all sudden, everything might change… What will happen next? And how is he going to sort this problem out… He totally was not thinking straight…

“BANG!!!!!!”

Darryl & Kenny (Part 12 - Shocking)

Darryl: “Finally! Home Sweet Home!”
Kelvin: “Happy with the new renovation…”
Darryl: “Perfect! The exact idea I have for my love pad with Kenny. Everything just look so like a home rather than a bachelor pad…Don’t you think?”
Kelvin: “Yup…I hope I can have this as well soon…”
Darryl: “Well, just get Zac to commit… “
Kelvin: “Erm… If only thing can be some easy, it’s not him actually… It’s me… I have someone in my life that I grew fonder to…”
Darryl: “Do I know him?”
Kelvin: “May have seen him before but don’t think I officially introduce you to him before… But he is attached… Happily attached actually… I don’t think I will even stand a chance. That why I didn’t really say anything about it… I cannot deny I wanted more with him but then again, as the days goes by, I know what we have now is all I can ever ask for from him… I choose to love him from where I am and not asking anything back”
Darryl: “Does Zac know?”
Kelvin: “Maybe… I am not sure… He ask me for commitment but then I just feel he is not the one for me though I been spending some time with him but then again the feeling is more like best friend…”
Darryl: “Best friend?”
Kelvin: “OK. Best friend with sex… But there is just something in me that I want to wait for the other guy which I know I am stupid and selfish about this… But…. I just don’t know how to put it in word anymore…”
Darryl: “Hey, buddy… Don’t be so despair… Things happen for a reason and nobody will be very sure what will be in the future… Don’t let anything awkward come in between… I cannot say I know very well what I am saying but I know you will always do the right thing…”
Kelvin: “Thanks so much… Anyway, let drop the topic… I better get going as I am sure Kenny will be home soon and you 2 really need some quality time alone to make up for lost time… hahaha…”
Darryl: “Rubbish... He got a late night conference call with his office in USA so will be home late… So you can stick around and maybe we can grab some dinner together and also need to do some grocery shopping…”
Kelvin: “Sure, am free anyway… But grocery shopping? The term sound weird… GROSS-CERY… Hahaha”
Darryl: “You hor… I go get myself clean up and then we will head out… I get you a towel too so you can wash up…”
Kelvin: “No different anyway… I wearing the same clothes after shower…”
Darryl: “OK I get you a change of clothes as well but underwear, I cannot help… Or wait… maybe I got some new one…”
Kelvin: “Excuse I very BIG hor… your underwear cannot fit my package… Hahahahaha”
Darryl: “I don’t know about that… Hahahah… So want or not…”
Kelvin: “Just a change of clothes will do… I can go commando… Hahaha”
Darryl: “Dangerous lor… Wait your mr BIG pitch a tent how… embarrassing to walk next to you… Hahaha…”
Kelvin: “Erm…”
Darryl: “Hahahaha…. Kidding only la… I get you a new piece of my underwear and u see can fix or not… Think u should be same size as me…”
Kelvin: “Thanks…”
Darryl: “Please… You have me so much for the past month… This is nothing… And after u wear the underwear, no need to return… Hahahaha”
Kelvin: “Of course la…”
Darryl: “Give me a minute…”

Darryl went to get Kelvin a new set of clothes and text Kenny that he will be out with Kelvin before heading into shower... They went to Carrefour at Suntec City for grocery shopping and then dinner after that…

“Wow! Didn’t know grocery shopping with a man can be so fun… Hahahah” Kelvin suddenly exclaimed…

“It’s the company you are with… Me!”

“Yes! Yes! It all about u… Hahahaha”

After Carrefour, Darryl makes a turn to IKEA to get some items before heading back to home… They were exhausted when they reach home. Kenny was still not home yet… Darryl give him a call and been informed by his colleague that he is still in the conference call…

Darryl: “Look like he wont’ be home anytime soon… His job is making him very tired and no social life…”
Kelvin: “Career more important ma… You think he wanted that…”’
Darryl: “OK la… I am not complaining just feel that it really very bad that he work so late everyday… And I don’t really have much time with him… But I guess you are right.. No choice when it come to work…”
Kelvin: “U scared lonely… I accompany until he come back lor… “
Darryl: “That very lovely of you… I going to shower first then I will open a bottle of wine and we chat ya…”
Kelvin: “Can I join you in shower? Hahahaha…”
Darryl: “Sure of course… “
Kelvin: ”REALLY?!”
Darryl: ‘Yup there is another shower there… “
Kelvin: “Damn it….”
Darryl: “Hahahaha”
Kelvin: “Spoiler…”

Kelvin was all showered and sitting in the living room when Darryl walks out… Darryl went to the cooler to get a bottle of wine and join Kelvin at the living room… The mood was really relaxing with soft music at the background and also the bottle set them in the mood to chat anything under the sun from past relationship to present and work… Darryl feels that he is closer to Kelvin than ever since he moves into his place for that short one month… Kelvin seems to become a confidante where he can really talk to and laugh with…

It is a nice feeling actually to have such a close friend other than Kenny. But he realizes that ever since Robin’s departure. he has never really open up to anyone like today even when he is talking to Kenny. He wondered is Kelvin his new Robin in his life. The friendship between him and Kelvin just blossom over during the one month they stay together…

And times past like rocket, without knowing it, it already 2am in the morning… Darryl asks Kelvin to stay over because it not really good for him to drive back after drinking… Darryl give Kenny a call but he is still in office working his head off.. And may not come back for the night but he will be off tomorrow so Darryl bid him goodbye and hang up..

He turns around and Kelvin planted a kiss on him… Lip to lip….

To be continue…

Darryl & Kenny (Part 11 - Cold Shoulder)

Times really flies, without much notice, the renovation is completed and it’s time to move back into the brand new love nest that Darryl called it home with Kenny once again… Darryl was so anxious of moving back as he feel that he been imposing Kelvin for the longest period of time though he does have a good and fun time staying with him and all the jokes he cracked… And Kelvin keep asking him to stay a little longer and not rush to move back but Darryl misses his home and his time with Kenny…

Kenny however on the other hand thinks that they should go look for a feng shui master to select a better date to move back. Not really being superstition but his parents insisted him to rely the message to Darryl but Darryl was really not up with the idea as he is a free thinker and doing such thing make him feel weird and uneasy… The two of them have an argument over it and has been giving each other cold shoulder for almost 3 days already…

Kelvin persuaded Darryl to just give in as it is totally not worth it to argue over such issue, it childish to fight over such thing in fact. Kelvin asked Darryl to think of Kenny as he is merely relying a message on behalf of his parents. And so why quarrel with Kenny when he is just a middleman. Darryl knew what Kelvin is implying and he too is shocked that he can not talk to Kenny for the past 3 days… After listening to Kelvin, Darryl picked up the phone the next day…

No answer on the first call… He tried again… and again… and finally he

“Hello?” But the voice was not Kenny….

“Is Kenny there?”

“He’s in the shower... You are?” Darryl hang up…

“Shower? Isn’t he at work? And who is this guy on the phone…. Should I call back again? But what if he…?” Darryl was thinking to himself when his phone ring… It’s Kenny…

Darryl: “Hello”
Kenny: “You are looking for me?”
Darryl: “Yup”
Kenny: “Anything wrong? You sounded weird?”
Darryl: “Ermmm…”
Kenny: “Silly boy… I know what you thinking… You must be thinking who’s that guy picking up my phone. Right?”
Darryl: “Ermmm…”
Kenny: “Silly boy… You totally forget about it... I told you last week that I have a golf game with my boss and some business associate today… That is just my boss… Let me put him to the phone… Anyway he been dying to meet you… And he can actually tell it’s you even my phone showed a private number…”
Darryl: “Huh? You mean he know about us…”
Kenny: “Erm… Yah! He tells me you sounded weird and so I just knew u must thinking of something funny…”
Darryl: “Erm….”
Kenny: “You must be thinking that I am cheating on you at this hour of time…”
Darryl: “Ermmm…”
Kenny: “Silly boy… I will not throw away this relationship just for a fling… Ok? So what’s up?”
Darryl: “I miss you and u haven’t called me for the past 3days…”
Kenny: “Well, I just assume that you need to think how badly u been treating me for the past one month…”
Darryl: “When did I treat you badly?”
Kenny: “YES.. EVERYDAY!!! For not hugging me to sleep, giving me a morning kiss and good night kiss… and don’t get me started on you asking me to move back to my parents so you can enjoy yourself with Kelvin… And also the fengshui master…”
Darryl: “Dear, i….”
Kenny: “I have yet to finish… So don’t interrupt me…”
Darryl: “OK… You carry on…”
Kenny: “Erm…. So what’s up? Hahahaha….”
Darryl: “Annoying!! You are teasing me…”
Kenny: “Hahaha… Who ask you actually can think that I am cheating on you…?”
Darryl: “You can’t blame me for that…”
Kenny: “Of course I can… Blame you for not trusting me at all…”
Darryl: “Ok Ok… My fault…”
Kenny: “Of course… Anyway I need to go and join them for lunch… I see you tonight at home…”
Darryl: “About that… I am thinking when we going to see the fengshui master…”
Kenny: “No need la… I already tell them we have see already and moving back in this weekend…”
Darryl: “You lied!!!”
Kenny: “What to do? My husband scolded me lei… It I don’t do this, wait he don’t want me how…”
Darryl: “Good point… How come you so smart? Damn I have to stick with you for the rest of my life…”
Kenny: “Well we can go separate way anytime u wish…”
Darryl: “No!! I am not letting you go at all…”
Kenny: “Ok ok… I really need to go already… I see u tonight and u better make it up to me real good… “
Darryl: ‘Don’t worry… I never disappoint you yet right…”
Kenny: “Maybe tonight will be the night…”
Darryl: “For sure it won’t… It are up and ready for you even now…”
Kenny: “Eeeeeee…. Maniac…. Don’t corrupt me…”
Darryl: “Hahahaha… See you tonight… Love you, Mrs Tay”
