EPISODE 8: H.E.L.P. He had just switched off the car's engine when we arrived back at my place. I said, "Well, I suppose this is it. I've had a terrific time mate. Thanks again for everything." He grabbed my arm and pulled me into an embrace as soon as I tried opening the door. I wasn't bothered by it. It was wonderful cuddling him in that position, where I could smell him for the first time. Despite my best efforts to forget his scent, the aroma of black coffe

Nicely quoted. 🤣 The next few episodes will really highlight the plot. This will be very interesting what you guys, the readers, think of this novel's exposition. I can't wait.

Yeah, he does have an interesting way of telling things how they are. Makes up for very interesting dialogue. 😂

Sometimes, my mind goes on a tangent and that's what it concocts up: words that somehow make sense. 😅 Thank you.

EPISODE 7: RENOIR'S LUNCHEON We were in Vauxhall at Bonnington Square, parked a few metres away from this Italian restaurant called Gruppo. Despite the partly cloudy skies, the afternoon sun that irradiated the jumbled outdoor crowd of chic bohemian lifers sitting in the alfresco area was an allusion to Renoir's Luncheon at the Boating Party. Incongruously hammering with sounds whittling from a distance by nearby scaffolders and picking off plates of charcuterie, to a cat cater

A certain friend in my college years. He had the most interesting take on things, borderline insane and crude but hilarious observations on life. 😂

No one knows him because he seems to be a private person in general. That's the extent I could answer so far. And yes. Nathan's a very high-functioning individual. Elon Musk is a person in the DSM-5 category classed with ASD. You wouldn't notice he is neurodivergent unless you parse his interviews and statement as something out of the ordinary. It's like Nathan has a unique way of seeing things and it shows in his responses.

Yeah, he's a very weird bloke with some interesting things to say, especially in the coming episode. It's probably one of my faves. 😁

EPISODE 6: NEURODIVERGENT The ride was quiet, as I had given him directions to my house. Glancing surreptitiously at him whenever an opportunity came may have turned out to be a fun game we played. Burbling chuckles were repressed fondly by glancing to the side, by huffing and sighing of furtive resolutions, tickled by his salacious glares that never flinched away from his vested interest; we were dancing, and our eyes were doing the salsa. Energetic prancing left and rig

😂 I was already panicking, telling myself, "Did I misspell something?" "Did I have too many run-on sentences, tense shifts, sentence fragments?" I was ready to go through the story again and edit the shit out of this thing. 😆

I'm not using Grammarly. 😂 Nor do I see any spelling mistakes so far in my work, since I double check what I write. If I've missed something, citing examples would be thoroughly helpful. 🤣

If only you knew. 😅

It's actually Nathan that's on the different spectrum. Greg is as normal as they come. Next episode sheds light on Nathan's circumstance. I just find it hard to write Greg because he's a very smart guy who prefers to downplay his intelligence due to his preference of keeping a low profile that's problematic for him since he's astoundingly good looking and people tend to notice. So in order to NOT shine in possible situations, he dumbs it down for himself though the dialogue he shares with those around him. Notice how his POV is very descriptive that it's overly literary yet the way he converses with those around him tends to be very simplistic. He's no longer in the police force due to plot reasons. Hahaha. Around chapter 11 or 12 reveals this.

I giggled for a bit at this. 😆 Yeah, next week's episode will be a very, very interesting one.

Greg took up criminology at Loughborough University. And while working as a police officer, he was getting his masters in Bioarchaeological and Forensic Anthropology from the University College of London. UCL has an 11% acceptance rate, and 5% for their post-graduate studies. I'm just saying that he's technically very educated as a city cop. That's why he's particularly hard to write for, because the way his mind thinks is very different from the way he acts and the way he projects himself around other people.

Yeah. Nathan has a very interesting way of looking things. 😂

EPISODE 5: CHARTREUSE Looking at the busses passing by, there was solace in the confounding truth that everyone was meant to go in every direction. That a path opens and closes for those yearning to seek it, those desperately wanting it, and those trying hard to fight for it. Allowing my heart to crow praise for deeds I have yet to make, I empowered myself to think. You deserve more. You deserve more. You deserve more... That I am more than the cruddy est

Definitely. I have a feeling Karens aren't safe with you, rightly so. 😆 I'll bring you along the next time I wander off cautiously and happenstance meet a Karen.

I'll take your anger and respite into consideration as I keep on writing. HAHA! 😂

Yes (Book 2--depends if I go for it). And yes. And yes, Greg does deserve a break. He'll have a kitkat soon.

I'll be posting every Wed-Sun, Asian Time, and Tues-Thurs, Western Time. I really like next week's episode and the episodes after that. 💀 The fun is just starting.

He's being recorded for his onlyfans. He got recognised in public. 😂 Next chapter shall answer such questions. Stay tuned!

EPISODE 4: BUMPED I arrived at Paullete, this small, quaint, and fairly expensive but satisfyingly delicious patisserie that serves cakes, pastries, and French breakfast just across Aldi’s. Fifty pounds for a six-inch pistachio cake is considered a hard sell for broke people like me. But their crispy leg confit, fried duck egg, mustard maple syrup waffle, and smoked duck breast, poached eggs, hollandaise, siracha eggs benedict were to die for. Normally, I’d never take a st

OMG! This is too much effort! You're really trying to make me think and I hate thinking. 😂 Alrighty, when you're having consensual sex with an adult, regardless of whether it's a one-night stand or night, certain stipulations and agreement must be stated prior to the act. For Ryan, showing Ryan his STD lab results means = we can have sex without protection since I may be (a.) taking PrEP, (b.) wearing protection on my other sexual encounters. For Greg's perspective, it's a selfish way for him not to do the same, but he's very assured that he's won't get any STDs from anyone else because he's not bonking anyone else apart from Ryan. I inserted that narrative because it's to show that there's a sense of respect and balance within their relationship.

Ryan is someone more. Mr. Bucket Hat is someone more. The cashier at Aldi's is someone more. Everybody's the main character at this point. 😂 I can't spoil the surprise can I? All I can say is things are going to get spicy at this point.
