Infatuation

The other day while having a glass of beer inside a karaoke lounge, I saw a middle age lady sitting at an adjacent table drinking milo. I had met her once. She recognised me and I went over to say hello. She invited me to join her at her table. So I had my beer there and our conversation went smoothly. She was a charm to talk to.

"Where is Alvin? I don't see him here." she asked.
"I don't know. May be he is busy and doesn't know you are here." I said.

Alvin is one of my friends. Gossip has it that he is interested and like this lady named Joy.

"I sense that Alvin likes you very much. If he knew you are here, I bet he would be with us now." I teased.
"Oh how sweet. I know someone who is right inside this room now and he likes me, too, but he sure knows how to hide his feeling." she quipped.
"Oh really? I wonder who he is." I replied.

I knew she was talking about me. I pretended not to know and looked around the room  searching for the guy. Somehow I felt like a fool.

Later we drank beer together and sang some of our favourite songs before we hit the road. I really enjoyed being with her. Would my feeling towards her go beyond my infatuation?
