Coco dinner Round 2
On Friday after work I went home to change and get the car, then went to pick up Coco. My attire was much more simpler than when I saw Jenny the previous night, almost as if I was trying to send a message.
Although I got there on time, she turned out to be about 20 minutes late, which was annoying. When she got into my car, we talked about where to go and in the end she suggested Ashfield, so off we went.
She told me that G had informed her earlier that day that he was now "just friends" with his girlfriend, who he went back to China to see and propose to, so obviously things didn't go too well.
Coco gave me some of Jenny's stuff to return to her, including a blue jacket, a bottle of perfume, and the two coconuts I gave to her. When I saw her the previous night, she did mention the two coconuts were in the fridge, but I wasn't sure if she meant the fridge in her new place, or the fridge in Coco's place. Now I knew.
She asked me how things were going with Jenny and I gave a vague response. She asked me if she was my girlfriend yet and I said no. I tried to deflect and asked her how Jay was.
When we got to the restaurant we talked about those things in more detail, however, this time I wasn't saying anything about Jenny. I decided to just be a sponge, pretending I knew nothing, and let her do all the talking. I was now obviously on Jenny's side.
I waited a while, but eventually she told me about her getting a casino job. I pretended I didn't know, and asked her about it. She said she got allocated a shift with Jenny and asked the manager not to work with Jenny, explaining that they used to be flatmates and didn't part on good terms. She assured me that was all she said. I told her not to tell the story to the other girls working there and she said "of course, what do you think I am, stupid?"
I asked her several times what she had said to the manager, and she repeated the same line about just saying she didn't part on good terms with Jenny. When I suggested they could at least work together for a few hours, she said she couldn't separate her emotions from work.
She asked me what I liked about Jenny and I gave her the same response as last time - that I thought she was a kind person. I added this time that she wasn't one who would just go for anybody, and she said all girls are like that. I gave her a look and she knew that wasn't correct.
She asked about my date with Jenny the previous night. When I told her where we went to eat, she said Jay and her went there earlier in the week too. She thought it was a bit strange that we shared our food though.
I asked her about Jay and she didn't seem that serious with him. She asked me if I thought he was too feminine and I said no. She said he was too young and cared too much about his appearance.
She seemed to want me to stop seeing Jenny, and suggested I join a group that meets up for drinks at The Ivy every Friday night. I knew I wasn't going, but I played along and she said she'd invite me into the chat group. She invited me into the group on Wechat.
We had dinner for about an hour to an hour and a half. I paid for it this time, even though she tried to put up a bit of a hollow fight. Afterwards I wanted to check out the Asian grocery store next door, where I bought a bottle of drink and two packs of Super Ring chips that Jenny said she liked. Coco really didn't have any money and had to ask me for the rent money then and there, so I gave her the $500.
I drove her home as she decided not to meet with her friends who were in the city. Strangely enough, I got a huge stomachache as I was driving, and it soon turned into one of those emergency situations. I was rushing to drop her off, and it was so bad that I left my car in front of her place and ran to the nearest pub to use their bathroom. I was really surprised I managed to hold it for that long.
