Shy Waters Run Demented

I have such weird colleagues. I work closely with one of them. Outwardly, he looked like a nice decent chap. A bit weird in the manner of speech, but still decent as decent can be.

One day, he confessed to me that he trembles on the inside whenever he has to talk to other fellow female colleagues.

So naturally, I asked, "So do you tremble when you talk to me?"

"I knew you would ask that!" he exclaimed. "Actually, CC... I'm a very shy person."

Heh, for a shy guy, he does have a good inkling of how the minds of females work.

But the fact that he's shy actually explained quite a lot of things. On why he has trouble talking coherently whenever he's face to face with me and also the other girls in the office.

The poor thing. Thus, I resolved to be more patient towards him whenever he takes too long to get to the point of the matter. And to close one eye when he lapses into horribly bad grammar.

However, this self-professed shy person can say the darnest things over online communication. My jaw dropped when I saw what he said to me this morning:

He: Licking me? Hahahah. Thank!
Me: Eeeee... I don't wanna lick you!!
He: I want!

Somehow, my brains just couldn't compute a shy guy boldly typing this to a fellow female colleague. That's hardly professional behavior! Or maybe it's a case of really bad grammar?

Haiyo. Patience... patience...
