Dear Diary,

Hello everyone in Malaysia. It must be sunny over there. Is getting really cold here and I had a fever last week. I couldn't find any doctor around. What am I talking about, I can't expect any clinic to be open at a moment like this. Thank god that my beloved mother packed a huge amount of medicine, I think if i stay healthy those medicine can last really long.

I suppose this my only way to contact my family and tell them, their baby Steph is really safe here and I am married, and please not to worry he is a very kind person. There is no ceremony or anything, it was done in a rush.

I really miss home. I wish I am with all of you.

Dear Diary,

Terrius, my husband finally found a job and we have moved to a better place last week. It was a miracle to get a job at a time like this and most importantly, he is not a local here. The place we are staying now is at a suburb that is quite far away from the city. The place is bigger and air is fresher as well. The only reason for moving away from the city is for safety reasons of course. However, Terrius has to wake up really early to get to work in the city.

I wonder how's everyone home doing. Must be really good eh? I received a letter from my mother and it was opened. I guess the people in the post office checked the content in it. No matter what, it was really great to received letter from home.

Dear Diary,

Autumn is almost here. Is getting a little cold now. We went shopping for some clothes yesterday. I bought a lot of them as I didn't even notice how long did I took in the fitting room. I felt a little bad after paying that I only realized it was half past three and we had not have our lunch yet. However, Terrius didn't complain anything about it. In fact, he was surprised that I smiled that much while shopping. That's what a girls does isn't? For a girl like me who has trapped at home for 3 months, and first time ever went shopping for that long, of course I would smile like crazy. :)

Btw, Happy belated birthday, mother. I am not sure did you receive my letter, but i am sure you wil be able to read this. I love you.

Dear Diary,

I am working now. I am getting some part time graphic job from all over the world though internet, Yes, finally, we got our internat fixed. After for waiting for so long from the old apartment to this house. I have set up a website on doing all the graphic stuff to kill some of my time. Surprisingly, most of my client are from Malaysia and I found it very comforting.

After both of my parents birthday month, this is my birthday month. We went to a Turkish Restaurant to celebrate. It was a very nice place, even though is not the best Turkish ever, but is very clever of Terruis to found such a nice place during this time. I was very happy really.

Dear Diary,

Hello Malaysia! Christmas just passed. Did you manage to booked your tables or turkeys yet? I recall that Isetan always have very nice turkeys and not to forget Sun Moulin's cakes. Talking about cakes, which bakery do you prefer in Malaysia? San Terri in Bangsar Village or Sun Moulin? Both of them are my favorite bakery but if I really have, I mean really really have to, I will go to Sun Moulin's fruit cake for sure. Nevertheless, San Terri's green tea cake is a bomb as well. Aww... I am missing those wonderful pastries now.

We bought a plastic Christmas tree. It was my idea to get a plastic one because it is cleaner and it can be use again next year. Terrius had no object on this since I am the one who cleaning the house, so plastic wins.

Merry belated-Christmas everyone.

Even though most of us are not Christian but I know most of us celebrated Christmas in Malaysia. Me? I am a buddhist with a Christian husband, so is a must to celebrate.

Dear Diary,

I had a wonderful time this month. It has been six months in here, it seems like the most frightening time has passed and everything is getting back to normal. Since the city seems to be safer than before, shops and restaurants are getting back to their business as well. Nowadays, we eat out more frequently compare to before especially on weekends. We saw the news on the paper that international workers are allowed to register for lost passport, I can't tell how happy was us. We immediately when to our own respective embassy to apply for it. We have submitted the form but the officer from the embassy told us, there is no promise when could we get it.

Dear Diary,

It has been a year here. I have got used to the country lifestyle. Last week was our first anniversary. We never plan to celebrate it, after all there was a secret between it. Both of us was well aware that it has been a year but we didn't mention.

At late night, I was alone drinking beer at the balcony and Terrius silently joined me. We didn't talk. It was a very awkward day for both of us. We didn't talk much on that day. However, is very obvious that there was something bothering us. After his third can of beer he hugged me. It was the first time, we were so close to each other that I could hear his heartbeat. Unwillingly, I teared. I know what did the hug meant and I was very delight. everything happened so quickly and both of us are not even prepared. We been thru a lot.

It has been a tough year. Hopefully, it will be a brighter year ahead.

Hi, I am Stephanie Tee. I worked for The Moon, a respective Malaysian newspaper. I submit my monthly diary entry to and they will publish it at the Moon Metro section. I am originally a Malaysian. Four years ago, I was trapped in Middle East and I am married to my husband, Terrius Dryburgh, who is Scottish. We are now settling down in Melbourne, Australia. My husband is a lecturer in Monash. and me? I owned a very unique cafe at Spring Street.

Below shown was my last entry to The Moon:

Dear Diary,

Finally, We have booked our air tickets home! I can't they you how thrilled I was the moment I got my passport from the embassy. There is someone I really want to thanks and if it wasn't him, I don't know where would I be now or will i be alive. He is my husband.

Thank you for telling a such a huge lie to those people for not taking me away. If wasn't that lie, I don't know where will I ended up be and I will not know what will I be doing right now and will I be alive.

Since this is my last entry, I will tell you the secret that I have been mentioning all over my previous entries. I was a student at that time. I came to Middle East with both of my lecturers (Terrius and Bradley) and Bradley's wife for a competition. The country was in peace when we was here and suddenly things changed for some political reason. We never expect for this to happen and the airport was shut down. We were trap in the country and there are a lot of snatching and robberies going on at the time. Both of our passports were missing.

One day on the street, a middle aged man spoke some language I don't understand and brutally draged me. At the moment, Terrius stopped them. I didn't know what ere they talking about and all I heard from Terrius was "she is my wife". The middle aged man stopped and stared at Terrius and asked for prove. Bradley qiuckly added "They are suppose to be married in two weeks time". The middle aged man insisted us to get married on that day or he is going to bring me to some horrible place so we di what he wanted, that's the only solution of that time anyway.

I have never dream that we would be married and not to mention how much I hated his classes. I always taught that he has a horrible taste and is one of the most boring tutor/ lecturer ever. Yet, we are now married and it has four years.

Sorry to be a bit wordy this entry. This will be the last from me for sometime. I hope all of you will be happy forever and best of health.

ps. A very happy Chinese new year!

:) story inspired by a song from SHE's Selina.

I thought of expanding it more. what do you think?

A sweet escape

2011-02-18T22:45:00.009+08:00

"Pink or baby blue?" a girl with pony tail cried

"What do you need this time?" A women replied her, and looked at the girl with pony tail and cried "Oh my god! For heaven's sake where on Earth did you get all these?" The women was instantly shocked by all the labels she saw on the girl's table. "Versace, LV, Gucci, TopShop, Zara, Cotton On, Cotton On Body, Nike, Romantic cue? From Exclusive brands to affordable to sporty and some random brands. How long have you been saving all these?" She was so impress at her sister's labels collection. She didn't know that was she impress because its were so awesome or how can her little sister keeping all these rubbish for this long.

"Since high school, sis." The girl replied "Awesome eh?"

"Guess so." The women replied "What are these for anyway?"

"Valentines present." The girl smiled

"Ohh, that's sweet but will he likes it?"

"Of course!" The girl said and smiled very sweetly. She was so in love at that moment.

pause. Here it goes, I was that girl. I was trying to frame something really cute for my ex-boyfriend. I was trying to create a huge page of scrape book and frame it, am I creative or what? Oh right, by the way My name is Zoey. not Zoey101 but just Zoey. right I know cut the lame joke, you don't care.

"White frame or the wooden one?" I asked myself while listening to my Ipod.

"It depends on what are you going to frame, I guess." A voice told me.

"Which one is cuter? White! But he is a guy..." I asked myself again.

"Wooden one should look more vintage while the white one might ended up looking sweeter." The voice said again

"Maybe I should get it later when I make up my mind." I told myself

"The white one suits you more." The voice said again

Now, I am feeling really freaky, I mean should the voice be the other me? I looked around and I saw a guy was right beside me! I didn't realised that I actually talked to myself instead of just a thought. That was really embarrassing.

"Oh my god!" I cried, embarrassed.

"Is okay" he smiled. "So which one are you going to get?"

"I don't know, Maybe I will get it later." I said "Good bye."

"Bye." He replied

____________________________

"Zoey! you are so embarrassing." My sister burst into laugher when I told her what happened.

"I know. So, which one do you think I should get huh?" I asked and lying on the bed

"I don't know, I am not as artistic as you." She said

"You ain't helping!" I protested

"Hey, I am more interested on how did that guy look like?" She said

"Tall, fair? blonde, but I am pretty sure he is an Asian just like us." I said

"Oh come on, most of us looks horrible with blonde coloured hair." She said

"Since when did i mention he is handsome?"

"Oh fine!." She said and continue her make up

"But you know, he is not bad looking." I said in blue "He doesn't looks like a local. Something different, I can't tell where was he from but not local"

"Mystery guy huh?"

"No so, just someone I bump into."

"Then stop talking about him."

"Just to tell you that he is not ugly, in fact I think he looks very cute in blonde hair. like an albino baby." I smiled

"albino is not cute! stop being cruel Miss Zoey!"

"I am not! He is cute!" I protested loudly

"Why are you screaming?" My mother walked in

"She was saying she met a really cute guy at Ikea just now while shopping for a photo frame for Steven as a Valentine present." My sister said

"Oh that's what I am going to tell both of you." My mother said "Please make yourself available on this Valentine's day. Your cousin is getting married."

"WHAT!?" I cried

"Oh yes, be good."She said and walked out the room

"So, what are you going to do?" My sister asked me

"Aren't you celebrating with your husband?" I asked

"I am fine actually." My sister said

"I don't have a choice then." I answered

__________________________________

The wedding was small, warmed. This is actually my cousin's second marriage, the first one was huge but this one was small, only some family members and close friends attended. The bride was young and pretty, my dad told me that she is not local, she is a Thai. She was lean and have a tan skin tone with really nice body figure. in short, she is hot. yes, mad awesome hot and friendly as well.

Well, whatever is it, I am just not in the mood. I broke up with my 2 years boyfriend. I can't stop thinking about that day he told me about breaking up, I felt beaten. I should be the one who break up with him but why everything turned upside down?

"Stev, you know I won't be free on Vday." I Said softly

"Hey, we should talk." He said

"Yea?" I asked, wondering was he angry about what I have just said

"We should have a short break, girl" He said "We are different. I can't and I don't think I will ever be the one you are seeking for."

"What do you mean?" I asked

"I love you Zoey but this is not how it should work. You should be with someone better than me. Someone that can provide you what you need. I am feeling very tired being with you, you made me feel that I am so useless."

"ZOEY!" My sister cried

"Huh!?" I looked at her direction

"The bride and groom is entering the room! stand up!" She said

"Oh okay." Didn't they just entered just now? whatever.

Everyone was having a lot of fun during the dinner. My cousins were snapping photos all around with their blackberry, Iphone, Lomo, and etc. Me? I was sitting there alone. To be honest, I never enjoy this kind of gathering. I am scare of people, when it comes to a lotsa people, I feel scared, is a kind of phobia that I can never overcome.

"Why are you alone here?" A familiar voice said

"Huh!?" I turned back and I saw that guy from Ikea! "You hair.."

"I dyed it just now right before the dinner." He said "It's chestnut brown now."

"Ohh.." I said "You look better now." I said and quickly added "You look really cute before, is just different and I like this more."

"Okay." He said and sat at my sister's seat "Did you buy your photo frame?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Is not a need any more." I said and smiled "Are you related to the bride?"

"Yes, I am her cousin." He said

"You look different from her." I said "You are so fair."

"I am her cousin not her direct brother." He explained "My late grandfather was a German."

"Oh.." I said

"I heard you are not a pure Malaysian-Chinese?"

"No, One of my ancestor was Russian, Thai and Austrian. But those were old stories, I dont think it affect any of our look"

"You look very much like a Thai." He said

"I know, when I was in Bangkok, most people mistaken me as a Thai." I smiled

"You don't look happy. Did you miss a date because of this wedding?" He asked

"Nope, There wasn't any date."

"That's weird." He said

"How about you?"

"Haven't met anyone that serious enough to spend my Valentine with." he said

Both of us were silent and I felt really comfortable that he was beside me.

He was staring at me and I can feel that he was scanning every inch of my face. I pretended that I didn't know he was staring at me and looking at the entrance.

"Oh god!" I cried

"What!?" He asked

"The golden bag!" I pointed at a women who passed by the entrance of the ballroom

"What's with it?"

"I wanted to buy it form Nine West the other day. Actually it was 6 months ago but my sister stopped me from being a shopperholic." I said "I spent too much"

"Come, I am going to bring you to a brand new magical world." He rose and pulled me away

________________________________

"Here we are." he said and stopped his car.

"Where!? Nine West!?" What on Earth is going on!?

"Wait in the car." He walked into the shop and walked out after 10 minutes with empty hands.

"What's going on?" I asked

"This stop is not magical enough for you." He said and moved on

"You are crazy." I said and looking at his handsome face. Hoe could I not realised how good looking was this man when I was at Ikea looking for the stupid photo frame? His captivating eyes that will turned into a crescent moon shaped when he smile and his straight nose with a sexy thin lips. isn't he the prince in almost every girl's dream?

"here!" he passed a huge paper bag to me. " Do not peek until we get to the magical place."

"I don't know anywhere magical in town." I said

"I am going to bring you there today and you will be my princess." he said and smiled

"YOUR princess?"

"Yes, mine." he said

"I know it's the bag. isn't?" I asked

He gave me a quick glanced showing his dissatisfaction and said "Can you don't ruin the surprise? It's really annoying you know?"

"I knew it." I said "I will not accept anything from a stranger"

"But you are on a stranger's car." He said "Open it. I pretty sure this was the one the girl was using."

"yes, it is." I said "I love their new designed label"

"What label?"

"This." I showed him the paper label written the word Nine West on it. "I have a huge collections of labels at home"

"This is interesting." He said "I would like to have a look at it"

"Of course you would." I said

"I used to collect buttons." He said

"That's funny." I said "I have a collection of buttons as well, but i think labels are more interesting."

"Do you like the bag?" he asked

"Love it" I smiled like a 6 years old

"it's just nine west, how would you smile if it's a Hermes!?"

"Is not about the price you pig head. Is about how much effort did one put into to get you a gift!" I corrected him

"Really?" He said "What do you think about hand made gifts then?"

"How about you? Can you tell me first?" I asked with a slight hope that he will like it.

"Erm, it really depends." He said "however, I will really appreciate it."

"That's very nice of you." I said

"Here we are." He stopped his car on a private park.

"I been here many times." I said "I thought it was beautiful but never magical." I said

"Wait here." He said

He walked away and I was staring at the lake. I sat done at the bench and was thinking I must be dreaming, I just have a sweet escape from my cousin's wedding?

"Zoey." he cried and ran to me

"How do you know my name?" I asked "Your sister cried it out during the dinner, remember?" He said

"Oh crap!" And I saw him with a bunch of pink balloons and roses. the roses weren't nicely wrapped but just tied its up with a white ribbon with a butterfly bow on it.

"Roses, Balloons, oh no, chocolates..." He said

"Hey! Is okay.." I said

He hold my hand that was holding the roses and whisper "You know I never believe love at first sight, I thought it was all bullshit. Especially a girl who was shopping for a photo frame for her boyfriend."He looked at me closely "Do you want a new boyfriend?"

"Are you going to introduce anyone to me?"

"Yes, myself."

"Lamer! This is the lamest way to go after a girl."

"Is okay, as long as I got my girl." He said and hugged me.

okay, i know you are craving for the ending now. it's simple, we argue and fought a few times and we eventually got married on a Valentine's day. We are certain about how many people is going think that we are selfish and etc, but seriously, we dont care.

end.

Can you be crazier than this? Special

I opened my eyes and touched on my left cheek and I felt my warm tears. That dream was very annoying, in fact it was so annoying that I can't even explain it in words. I dreamed that 'he' was happily dating Wendy. I mean, Wendy, oh yes, the bimbo Wendy.

'he' was the only reason I am working so hard and giving up almost everything in my life and 'he' was happily dating the bimbotic Wendy in my dream? for heaven's sake, give me a break! I mean please, she is one of the the the.. okay fine, I am not going to say anything bad about her since she is my only friend here, but still this is wrong.

___________________________________

"Today's class is going to end here. Thank you." The vocal instructor said and walked out the room.

"Dianne, What are we going to have for lunch?" A girl with a tan skin tone asked.

"Erm, I dont feel hungry, I dont think I will be joining you." I answered

"But babe, I am gonna be alone." She asked

"I am sorry, I don't feel like having anything right now." I said

"Well, okay" and she walked out the classroom.

Looking at her back and I thought, what's so special about her? She ain't pretty, don't even mention about body figure. Why? Why her? I know I might be taking my dream too serious, but still, I don't get it! I stop thinking and walked out the classroom.

_____________________________________

Can the weather be colder than this? This is madness, I can't feel my ears! My nose is gonna break soon. I was standing at the entrance of the building of my future entertainment company. Oh forget to mention, I am a trainee now and I am expected to be a singer in 10 months time. I looked around and I saw Wendy was talking with someone. I didn't bother until I had a closer look... What the hell!? Is that 'him'!? Why are they looking so happy? damn it! Fine, is not like I am going to die without him, I will be much more successful and...

"Ahh!" I scream when someone touched my ears.

"Hey, why are you standing alone here?" 'he' asked

"What do you want!?" I asked sharply

"Come on, why are you angry?" He asked and took out his ear muffs. He placed his ear muffs on my ears "Your ears are gonna break soon." he smiled

"Take it back." I was angry at myself and jealous of that dream. I wanted to take out my ear muffs and he stopped me.

"Come on now, what's going on?" He asked again "lets go for lunch."

"Lets go babe!" Wendy shouted from the other side

"No." With Wendy? Come on, i just had a dream that I was the light bulb of both of them! give me a break!

"Aren't you hungry?" He asked

"No." I said again and took off the ear muff and gave it back to him "Bye!" I walked away.

I know I am acting like a demanding princess right now, but you just don't understand how annoying was that and it was about to happen in front of me. I just want to be alone and cry in my both room once i reached my room. that's all. so leave me alone.

I was walking really fast because it was snowing, and someone knocked me from the opposite direction and my brand new Iphone dropped on the floor. I stare at my phone and I teared. What's going on? My life is so darn hard here, i got nobody here with me. I know nothing about this country, I am learning and working really hard and now what? I just lost what I was looking for all the time and my new Iphone as well? Come on, what on earth is wrong with me?

Someone placed a pair of earmuffs on me again and placed my Iphone into my coat's pocket. At that moment, I hope it's 'him', I turned back

"What is wrong with you?" 'he' asked "What's going on?"

"Why are you following me? Aren't you suppose to have lunch with Wendy?" I asked and wiped my tears away with my hand

"I call it off, you are looking really stress out. Are you okay?" He asked

"No. Which part of me looks okay to you?" I asked

"So, what is wrong?" He asked again "Why are you angry at me without a reason?"

"Are you free?" I asked

"Yea.."

"Come with me." I said and I hold his hand. I want to go all the places that Wendy and he went in my dream.

_____________________________________

We went to all the places and finally, we had a break. We were sitting on the bench and sharing a Venti Latte.

"What is all these about?" He asked

"It's nice that most people have gone back to their hometown during Christmas and only people like us who is not born here left in the city." I said without answering his question

"yea, even the paparazzi are on holiday." He said

"Yup! Is must be hard to be a Super Star like you." I teased

"One day, you might end up like me." He said

"Hahaha! I wish!" I said

We were silent and I said "You know, I will never be in a relationship with a super star, never"

"Why?" He stare at me and asked

"Too competitive I guess." I said "I just realised it today, anyway." Or I should say I am being sour grape?

"Bullshit..." He said and laughed

"You will never know how it feels." I said and thought of the dream again

"I love you." he whispered

"Huh!?" I was stunned and looked at him

"I said, I love you." He said

"Is not funny." I said

"I am serious."

"Are you training your acting skill on me? if yes, I will said it was so good that I almost thought it's real." I mocked

"Dianne..." He kissed me on my lips "I really mean what I said."

"whhyyyy?" I asked

"Because you are Dianne." He said

"Ermm.. okayy.."

"Hey, tell me, why were you mad at me just now."

"That's private." I said

"Come on now.."

"No..."

"You silly girl." He said "Im going to finish the Latte if you are not going to tell me."

"Hey! I bought that!" I cried

"Come on!"

"Fine, I had the most annoying dream in my whole life last night!"

"About?"

"Wendy."

"So you were angry because I talked to her?"

"No.."

"Then?"

"Okay fine, I am gonna tell you." I said "I dreamed that both of you were happily dating and i was alone walking behind both of you."

"Wait.. do you mean that Wendy had a thing about me?" He asked

"Yes. Come one! Her Iphone is full of your photos!" I said angrily

"I never look into her phone before, why are you getting mad?"

"just.. just angry."

"Well, you dream is not going to happen and it will never." He hugged me "Come on darling, i thought everyone agreed that she is a bimbo." and both of us laughed

happy cny, peeps.

Can you be crazier than this?

2011-01-17T01:00:00.005+08:00

Interviewer: He is a model, a singer, a dancer, a pianist and even an actor. His face is all round Asia, he is the spoke person for more than 10 brands from cars to fashion labels to cosmetic. Let us welcome the A-list super-star! First of all, congratulation on your wedding!

Super-Star: Thank you...

Interviewer: Hi, so how do you feel about being such a famous A-list?

Super-Star: Well, when I realised that I became an over night sensation, I was pretty nervous. I don't know what should I do. However, after so many years, I have eventually got used to it.

Interviewer: Didn't you go for any training? Did they taught you what you should do when you are as famous as now?

Super-Star: Yes, I did go for the training and it was not an easy one. My company wasn't prepared that I will be as famous as now out of a sudden.

Interviewer: You were one of the hottest topic at that time and you gone wild after you announced your relationship with your girlfriend or might as well say it as your wife, How do you feel? Did this impact affect your relationship?

Super-Star: No, it was a relive actually. We were together for 3 years before we announced our relationship to the rest. The reason being was because she was still a trainee of the company and trainees are not suppose to be in a relationship.

Interviewer: Are you worry that your fans might not be happy?

Super-Star: At some point, I have to admit that yes. I know that they are fine with me be in a relationship because when I was filming with Kelly, almost every fans of mine were so looking forward that we will be in a real relationship. However, that's Kelly, but I wasn't with Kelly, I am afraid that they might not accept Diane as my girlfriend because they have such a strong impression that I should be with Kelly.

Interviewer: When both of you announced your relationship, Diane is already an A-list in Asia but she is still very new. Is both of your company mad at your guys?

Super-Star: Yes, both of our managers were very mad, because i was the one who told the reporter without informing them first and they never know this is coming. No one knows that we are in a relationship.

Interviewer: What makes you wanted to tell the public so much that you actually risked you and her career?

Super-Star: Diane. She is a girl, and I am actually a very conventional person. I feel sorry and bad for keep our relationship a secret and made her looks like my mistress. She had pressure from her family as well, even thou she didn't tell me about it but i am certain that her family was very concern that why did't I announce our relationship.

and the interview goes on.

_______________________________________

Today was a long day, I sat on a lazy chair next to a huge window of my house and thought of the interview just now. The interviewer asked me so much about her. It has been 10 years since i know her, and the memory was still vividly in my mind. She came for an audition all the way from her home country....

(Flash back)

"Oh no, I can't dance!" She said

"Oh no, you have to if you want to be a super-star!" A well-dressed women said

"But, oh dear, I will ended up looking like an octopus." She said again

I was staring at her. She looked so elegant and classy but somehow she was so energetic. I am not sure is her a sneakers kinda of girl or a heels kinda of girl. She was like a full package of everything, she did the right thing to come for an audition. She is made to be in the entertainment industry.

"Hey, shouldn't you as a might-be-future senior give her some comment?" Said the women

"Why are you here if you can't dance?" I asked

"I am here because I am here... to audition for acting and modelling." She said "I never sign up for dancing...." She said it so soft almost as if she is whispering to herself but I heard it

"You should know everyone here is a full package. There is no such thing as only an actress or a model." I teased her for fun

"But.. this is not right...." She disagree with me

"This is no Hollywood." The owner of the company walked in and said "If you can't dance, we will not... hire you."

She staring at me as if asking for help, i saw her huge eyes are fill with tears and didn't know what to do.

I have came this far, If i were to give up now, i will ended up looking like a moron! I bought an air ticket here all by myself and if i am going to give up now, all the money will be waste. She thought and said "I will dance but don't laugh at me!"

"Go ahead" Said the owner of the company "She is really pretty isn't she?" He whispered to me

"Yes." I said

"Will she be the second you?" He asked me again

"If she is as hard working." I answered "Stop dancing, you indeed look like an octopus."

"Thank you." She said and blushed

"Thank you, for joining us today. We will inform you in two weeks time." The women said

"Thank you." She said again and left the room

"What do you think?" The owner asked the women

"I like her. she is very cheerful." She said "how about you.... Hey where is he?"

"I don't know when did he left the room." Said the owner

_____________________________________________

"Oh my god is snowing...." She whispered to herself "I hate it!"

"Hey, Do you need a ride?" I asked "My car is right in front."

"Erm.. is it okay?" She asked

"Yea, no one is following me since I am on holiday now." I said

"Thank you..." She said

The traffic was crazy. I admit, i knew that the traffic is gonna be this crazy at this hour and at this road. Yes, I set her up, I want to know more about her.I am not a flirty guy that will ask for number the first time I know her, perhaps it will be easier to ask for a number after an hour of bad traffic in the car.

"So, how was the audition?" I asked

"Huh?" She looked at me with her huge eyes "Arent you there as well...?"

"erm, i mean how did you feel about it."

"It's horrible." She said "Sigh.. I shouldn't be here in the first place, I should have listen to my father and be a good girl and.."

"Hey, you don't even know the result yet." I said and thought that they will accept her as a trainee for sure. she has the look, she already looks like a star even she is not now.

"The traffic is crazy." She said "I am feeling so tired"

I was silent and after 15 minutes, I realised she fall asleep. How could she? Fall asleep when I am driving right next to her? isn't she suppose to be staring at me instead?

"Hey.. wake up, we have reached your hotel." She didn't give me any respond so I lightly slapped her face.

"Emmm?" She opened her eyes and realised how near I was, she quickly wakes up and her head hit on mine. very hardly.

"Ouch!" She cried "Sorry, I shouldnt.. I didnt know know that you were that close..."

"Is okay.." I said

"Thank you for the ride.." She said and quickly opened the door

"Hey, wait..!"

"What?" She turned and her lips touched mine. We freeze for about 30 seconds and she quickly turned away.

"I am sorry..." She said "What did you... want.."

"Your phone number.." I said and I felt like a teenage boy who is asking number for the very first time. "And your msn, facebook and twitter.." I asked. i thought since i have already embarrassed my self, why not ask for more

She wrote it on a paper and passed it to me.

"Hey, why do you want to be in the entertainment line? and why here? why not somewhere else, such as your own country?" I asked

"I will tell you one day, if I think you should know." She said and walked away.

Since then we became really close and eventually we turned into couple. After 3 years, we decided to announce our relationship and after 7 years, we got married.

"Holy shit! it has been 10 years!?" I cried and I woke up form my flash back. I saw a busy women cooking in my kitchen, yes she is my wife, Diane.

"Honey, please bathe now, dinner is almost ready." She cried

"Okay!" I answered and walked to the bathroom. A yellow post it was on the mirror. it written:

I came all the way from my home country and gave up everything there for the audition because I love you, I want to meet you. You know, I am your craziest fans and now I am your wife!

Love,

Diane

"Diane, you are mad! But I love you!" I cried from the bathroom to the kitchen

End. Happy early valentine day folks!

"She is awake" Elliot said

"Finally, oh dear, are you okay?" Ally asked

"Yes, I think I am just too tired." I smiled "No big deal"

"Why is everyone still here? what's the time now?" I Asked again

"4am." Dave answered and passed me a glass of water "We are waiting for the polices"

"It has been 5 hours, and they are still not here yet." Danny complained

"I think is here." A man said "it ought to be here, look at this place, is empty." and they waked in

"The polices are here, like finally" Elliot mocked

"So, what's up?" the police officer asked

"I made a new year resolution that I am to meet a new friend everyday, so i called the police!" Elliot mocked angrily "It's obvious isn't!?" this place is being robbed! dumb ass!

"Oh okay, so it's empty?" The police said again

"Un huh!?" Stella made a sound "Are you idiot!? someone robbed this place!"

"Any clue who will it be?" the police officer asked

"Oh come on now! what the hell is wrong with you, if we know who might it be, we don't need you!" Dave cried "Not to mention that we have waited for more than 3 hours!"

"Okay, chill man." The police said "Hey, I know you people, you guys are.."

"Whatever is it, get your job done ASAP. We are tired!" Dave cried

"We will need to delay everything." Stella whispered "Alexis need to rest as well, we made her work too much these days."

"Is okay, Stella, i understand that the holidays are here and rushing projects and..."

"Whatever is it, we don't even have a studio." Said Elliot

Everyone was silent. No one knows what to do.

"We wont be free soon" Dave said "Each of us that others commercial to rush by xmas and the world tour is happening soon, we need to practice as well."

"Let me call a friend of mine, may be he might be able to help." I said "He is a professional photographer."

"But, most of the studios are fully booked" Ally said

"We have to try, I will call him." I said "Don't worry, he is a very nice guy, he was my teacher once."

"but it's 4am now." Stella said

"I am pretty sure he is still awake." I took my phone and made the call

"Dav! Thank god you are awake" I said

"What's up?" David asked over the phone

I told him what happened.

"I can borrow you some equipment and you can get it done in your empty studio?"

"No, because the police need to investigate the place for 3 days."

"How about you new apartment? Isn't it empty still?" He suggested "I am sorry Alex, all of the studios are fully booked but i think you can do something on your empty apartment and I can give you a hand if you need."

"Oh my god! You are awesome! Why didn't I thought of it. Thanks man!"

"Awesome huh?" Elliot said

"This is not the time to be jealous!" I said

"I am not..."

"Is enough both of you. please. what's the plan?" Danny said

"I guess I have to lend you guys my empty apartment." I said "But i dont know will it works well, hopefully it will."

"Are you serious?" Dave asked Elliot

"Pretty sure I am." Elliot said "Actually, I am very."

"Good." Dave said

2010-12-10T23:44:00.003+08:00

"Sir, here's your hot towel for refreshment." The air stewardess said and passed him a smoking hot towel. She stare at me, who was still asleep on that person's, oh sorry, my husband's shoulder. "Erm, Mis..."

"Is okay, just passed it to me" he said then collected the hot towel from the air stewardess "Hey..hey.." He whispered to me to wake me up.

"Mmmm?" I looked up and "Ouch!" My head hit his chin.

"OUCH! Luckily i have a real chin if i were to plastic my chin like the rest did i would have a weird chin by now. god, it hurts!" he cried

"Sorry.." I quickly apologized and he passed me the hot towel

"We are almost reaching, stop sleeping." he said "it annoyed me"

"Whatever." I said angrily

and we did not talk until the flight landed, and we left the flight and pretended that we never know each other.

"Seems like you are going to stop complaining about not having a boyfriend from now." Ally said from my back

"Shut up. This is not that kinda thing should be happening plus why didn't you save me just now?" I asked

"Why should i?" she asked

"HE basically kidnapped me!"

"You mean your husband?" She teased and laughed

"no, i was talking about my father!" I answered angrily.

"You know we will have to work with them and for you will need to work with them for 2 weeks."

"I am not doing this, please Ally." I begged "I love you boss, you are so pretty, smart, not so tall but still taller than me, and you are like the best of the world..."

"I know, but sorry is not gonna work." she replied

________________________________________

"Bro, who was the girl sat beside you just now?" Dave asked (Dave from lost)

"My wife." He said and smiled

"Come on bro, give me a break. All of us are not allowed to be in a relationship not to mention about marrying."

"Fine. Someone interesting I met in the airport."

"Guessed so!"

"How about you, huh?" He asked "Your ring girl."

"I got rejected. didn't I told you that?""

"Asked her out! for dinner, lunch, tea, breakfast, movie and whatever!"

"We know who we are and what will happen if anyone finds out."

"Come on! Danny is married and no one knows about it." He said "The best part is he is going to be a daddy soon. is not like we cant do it, it really depends on do we want it."

"If i have to be in a secrete relationship with Stella, I rather not being in one." Dave said "There is no point, forbidden love might sound fun at first but when time goes on is a very different thing." Dave added "Especially you, the youngest and cutest and the most likeable one. Unless you are really in love then be a man and face it. People like us don't have the credit to fool around because it will hurt them more than any other guys when it has exposed to the public."

Dave walked away and left him alone in the studio

"Come on Alexis, you can do it! Face him and knock him down!" Said Ally "For your new apartment!"

"For my apartment!!" I said and walked into the studio and saw him alone sitting on a wooden box

"Where are the rest?" I asked

"Who are you?" He asked. Dave is right, he didn't want to hurt her in anyway, she is a nice and hard-working girl. I shouldn't be doing that.

"Huh?"Wait, is he keeping his promise? he looks like he is but why is he staring at him in this way? "Oh sorry, I am your photographer."

"Hi, I am Elliot."

"I will get the rest of them. We got no assistance today because of the airport.."

"Is okay, I will do my best today." I said to avoid he mention about the airport thingy.

"Right, I will get them." He said and walked out the studio

Shouldn't I be happy? This is what I want, unknowing him. Why do I somehow feeling sad? damn!

"Isn't she..?" Dave was about to ask

"No, I dont know her." He said

"Great." Dave said and understood him

"Excuse me miss..!" Danny waved his hand in front of her face

"Oh sorry." Yes, I will be your photographer today and I don't have any assistance today except for my boss Ally and Stella, I believe all of you have met her before. We will do our best on this, but due to the lack of assistances, we hope that you guys won't be needing too many thing..." As for creating trouble. Sigh, can I do it? Ally and Stella wont be helping much for sure and how on earth will i dare to order my boss to help me, right? Looking at them makes me feel headache, a bunch of troubles with good looking faces. damn!

"Alex, I will help you, dont think you are tall enough to adjust the lighting." Stella laughed and helped me

"Thanks." I said "More to the left please."

"No problem"

"Can you guys stand closer to each other?" I asked and started the shooting section. Thank god nothing goes wrong, if I am good enough, I will only need to face them a week and everything will be done.

After hours of shooting section.

"Stop!" Danny cried "please, i am hungry."

"Oh it is 9pm now." Ally said "Lets call it a day and continue it tomorrow?"

"Erm.. okay." Oh why!? I want to finish it ASAP!

"Lets go for dinner guys, my treat!" Said Stella

"Great please, I am starving." Danny said

while everyone was walking out the studio.

"Ally, Can i not go? I am rather tired today." I whisper

"Are you..."

"No, Ally please don't mention about it again."

"Okay okay. relax girl."

"Alex, someone is looking for you." Stella turned to me and said and i saw a rather annoying face but whatever is it, he is my last hope to get out of this situation

"Look, i got a date with my... friend."

"date!?" Ally was shocked because the last time Alex told her that this guy is the not her cup of tea and for god sake he wont be anyone's cup of tea anyway.

"A friend! just normal dinner.. erm no, supper.. whatever is it, not going.."

"Oh invite your friend along Alex, we are going to your favourite place."

"But....but.."

"Is okay Alex, I can join them." the annoying face said

"Erm.. fine.." damn, is not about you at all

_____________________________

This is getting weird. he is sitting right in front of me and the annoying guy is next to me. Very annoying. damn!

"Can i get your drinks first?" the waiter asked

"Iced Green Tea please." I ordered

"No, Hot for her." the annoying said

"Why!?" I asked.

"is late, shouldnt be drinking cold.."

"Okay." I ended his conversation before he continues. annoying.

"What do you want to eat." the annoying asked

"Saba.."

"But it will be full of bones." annoying said

"Oh for god sake!" Elliot cried "You are acting like her father instead of her boyfriend."

"What?" The annoying was shock

"Please don't tell me you didn't know that your beloved girl friend hates hot drinks and she is not good at hot drinks!" Elliot cried "God damn it! and you this is not fun. How on Earth could I un-know you!?"

"You..!" And the annoying looked at me but i pretend that nothing happened. He was too angry and he left.

"Alex...." Stella whispered

"Huh?" I answered

"Your friend..." Stella was shocked

"You mean her annoying friend?" Ally teased "This teach you a lesson, don't ever lie"

"Whatever is it." I answered as if nothing has happened and the waiter passed me a cup of hot green tea "Excuse me, can you change it to iced?" I smiled

"How could you...?" Elliot stared at me

"What?" I asked "I thought you don't know me? Since when you know that i am not good at hot stuff?"

"When you handed the hot towel, you showed a face that tells it all."

"Hey, you know each other?" Danny asked and laughed

"Come on, Elliot. The manager is not here today, just admit it." Another boy teased

"Whatever is it, is not about her. Is about the guy's face. annoyed me." He said

"Woohooo~ Mr. Cute and Nice Guy is angry" Danny mocked "Come on pal, have a drink. the sake is awesome."

He took over the cup of sake from Danny and drank it all in one breath.

"Oh dear, I haven't order my food yet." I said and smiled. "Excuse me, can i have a Saba fish set?" I don't know why but when I know he was envy, I felt very happy. "Is this your treat Stella? I am very hungry."

"Yes darling, just order whatever you want to eat." Stella said

______________________________

"Oh god I am so full that I can hardly move! my manager wont be happy about this." Danny cried

"Hey Alex, what are you looking for?" Ally asked

"My phone." I answered "I dont remember where did i left it."

"Maybe is in the studio." Dave said

"Oh no! it has to be!" I cried "I am going back"

"But it's 12am now" Stella said

"Is okay, I will drive there." I said and ran to my car

"I will go with you." Elliot pulled my hand

____________________________________

"Gosh.. I wonder where is my phone.." I looked around

"You didnt even turn on your light, do you think..." He turned on the light and he was stunned by what he saw

"Alex!" He cried right before I fall

"OMG! where is everything!?" I cried

"You nearly fall." He said

"Because it used to be a chair around here and everything is gone."

"Yea, is this a robbery?"

"Think so." I said "Thank god i bought my laptops and camera and lenses away just now."

"This is not the time for this."

"True, but i lost my new Iphone4." damn, i just got it last month!

"Alex, what is this?" He took the piece of paper that left on the floor

"Open it." She said

Dear Stella,

I took everything away from you. you will be a big losser now! You wont be able to complete your job on time this round!

Love,

"Your phone." He passed my phone to me

"Oh where did you.."

"on the floor, it was on top of the paper."

"She is kind enough to leave me my new phone." I said and got a stare from Elliot

"Dave! Is she with you?" He asked

"Who?"

"Come on! Your girl friend, Stella! come over to the studio now." He said "Something interesting happened."

"How interesting is this? Seriously, tell me about it." I said "My bonus, apartment, car.. sigh.. If we cant complete this on time then the client will be very angry especially your boss! and everyone will be in trouble."

"i can imagine that." he sat on the floor

"I heard you guys are not allowed to be in a relationship? what a shame." I asked and sat next to him

"We are but not in public." He said

"You guys are annoying, in fact very but i was very surprise today."

"Because we are on ourself today. we are different without our manager."

"understandable." I said

"I am tired, I wanna go home." I said

"New apartment?"

"Nope, I am staying with my sister now but soon i will be moving out. I cant be a free loader forever. I have been staying with my sister long enough is time to be independent and my sister is not alone, she has a family, sometimes I feel rather weird to be there."

"True. How old are you?" He asked

"24." I answered "You?"

"26"

"Oh god!" Stella cried "What on earth.."

"Someone left you a msg" I said and rose

"Alex!" I heard Elliot cried but i was too tired, i can't stand it anymore. I think I fainted.

2010-12-09T01:07:00.002+08:00

Looking at the mirror and i started to question myself. "what the hell am I doing here, alone?"

Oh wait, i nearly forget to introduce myself. I am Alexis, I am 24 and I am still... Single. Oh yes, I am single since I was 20.

I know what are you thinking right now, I must be a fat, ugly and annoying bitch that always complain about how pathetic my life is and keep on stuffing ice cream and chocolates to myself saying that I am trying to make my self happy which was actually just to satisfied myself from being a fat bitch. OK stop! no. I wasn't.

So what is wrong with me? Honestly I got no idea at all. Is like at all. Seriously. Well, I work from Monday to Friday as a Graphic Designer and I slack at home on weekends and sometimes hanging out with a few old friends. Oh do I Club? Only when I have to, most of the time i will be with my clients. Oh well, i know, boring life. this is why I am single eh?

Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of people approach me in these years but they are not my kind and lets say they are pretty much not acceptable. Okay, lets face it, I am not ugly and I am actually pretty, good looking. am i fat? Oh for god sake I am not fat at all! the only not-so-wonderful about me will be my height, I am only 156cm.

"Alex! The airport Strike! Come out now!" Ally said. (Oh Ally, is my boss remember her from the previous story of Momoko's?)

"What!?" I cried. Oh no! I am going to a concert tomorrow, I have bought the tickets! arghh!

"Alex, come out now! We need to reschedule everything now!" Cried Ally and she ran out of the toilet.

Okay, can I be more lucky than this? Airport strike?

"I swear this is the most unpleasant trip ever, boss." I said

"I know." Ally said

"If it wasn't for the bonus I needed so badly for my new apartment, I wouldn't be here."

We are here at Barcelona, Spain. Before you scream About Gaudi's building, let me tell you something, I did not visit any of those. Why? We simply don't have the time. We rushed our project in 2 days time and need to rush back to our HQ for a new celebrity Iphone game project which everyone of us including the game design company are super not looking forward to it. Celebrities are those people that we will try our very best to avoid, they are problematic to the max. Bad attitudes, bad, bad. nightmare. The worst part, We have to take care of them as if they are our babies. Now, I am trap in this stupid airport. super arghhh-ness.

"Beware darling, there will be another bunch of nightmare from Stella." Said Ally

"Stella? The game designer?"

"Yup"

"Oh, her boyband Iphone game design." sucks.

"I hear they would like to have some multimedia campaign as well."

"Shouldn't they be looking for some multimedia company instead of us?"

"Stella's brother who is a multimedia designer is very busy right now and as you know we need to rush this job before their world tour concert, so he told Stella that he can't make it."

"Boss, I hate codes, CSS, HTML or whatever, they freaks me out."

"Silly, you just have to caetoonize them."

"The Boy band!?" I cried and open up my eye widely "The whole bunch of them!?"

"Yes, why? aren't you very good at it. Come on! You build a side business of it. didn't you?"

"Does it mean that I will be the one who will be photographing them as well?" Okay, so not exciting

"Yes. What is wrong with you? You always go for concerts and etc. I thought you would love to work with super stars?"

"You know, I know they are totally different behind the scene." I complained "Especially the ones that we will be working with. "

"Stop it already. Is not like we have a choice. You need to pay for your new apartment and I need to pay for my house and car." Ally said "Come on, we can do it!"

"Can I request for an assistance during the photography section? I don't want to be the one who buying them food and drinks!"

"I got an idea, borrow a maid from your mother and used it. I will pay her hourly." Ally winked

"A word boss."

"What?"

"Fu*k you!" and both of us laughed

"Come on, is our turn. after queuing for so damn long."

"Tell me about it, it has been 6 hours." I rose and walked to the counter and someone cut the line

"Hi, I would like to...."

"Excuse me, what the hell is wrong with you!? I have waiting for 6 hours and what the hell are you doing?"

He did not speak but took off his sunglasses and smiled at me and continue his conversation with the air stewardess.

"Are you crazy!? Come on, wearing shades indoor is not cool, is stupid and for god sake even if you are a celebrity I don't give a damn. get the hell off!" is he a celeb? oh whatever.

The air stewardess look rather confused and she didn't know what to do, so she said "excuse me miss this sir is a VIP and we.."

"Do I look like I care!?"

"Sweetheart calm down." He said and smiled

"I am sorry, she is my wife.." He lied "We are together."

"Excuse..." Ouch, he pitch my shoulder!

"Yes, 2 tickets please. Business class."

"No problem sir."

Buuuuusiness class? Oh come on I don't have the money for that! I need to pay for my apartment and I am changing my car soon. Oh nooooooooooooo. He look rather familiar but who is he? Oh no, shit dont tell me he is one of the guy from The Woods! The one we are suppose to work with. Oh no, can I be more bad luck than this?

"Lets go." He said and basically dragged me away.

"Ally..." I cried and staring at her for help but why on earth is she smiling?

______________________________

"I am not going to pay for this. I am going to pay you the price for the economic class and not the business class. I am not as rich as you thought, I am so poor that I am force to work here for just 50% of bonus at the end of the year." I said after we have settle down in the air plane

"You have to pay full price, I am not rich either. even if I am why do I need to pay for you? and i forced to be here for my job as well, we are pretty much the same." He said while reading a newspaper "I am not as glory as everyone thought."

"What the.." fuck "Okay so now what? you are the person who suddenly drag me and lied your ass of and not lining up and..."

"Cut it." He said "You are going to pay me or you know what will happen."

"What!?" What will he do?

"I am going to kiss you in public and the paparazzi will be following you for the rest of your life."

"ARGHHH!" I teared "Why must this always happen on me? I have been working so hard and i finally got a new apartment and thought of changing to a better car and now why this? I am suppose to work hard and earn more but now i just used up more than a month salary of mine. bastard. what kind of beast i met!"

"Hey, stop crying.." He said "I don't mean it."

"You can just pay the econ price, don't cry please." Why did she cry? oh god, it was a joke.

"sobsob." I looked at him with my huge eyes full of tears "Why me? Why must all the bad things always happen on me? I want a better life and i always work harder than everyone else. how many graphic designer dont mind being a part time photographer for the company as well? I spend more than 20 hours per-week just to support my side business and I hardly have time for myself. and now i bump into you who are trying to rob me."

"Oh please, is okay really. I am sorry..." Oh god what did he do?

"Excuse me, a lady told us that you are on Honeymoon with your wife and this is from the crews." An air stewardess placed a piece of chocolate brownie to us. "Happy honeymoon."

"Thank you." He said "Oh come, lets have some cake, dont cry please."

"I am not taking chocolate."I said "I.. am on diet"

He hold my hand and said "bones and bones. If i were blind i will thought that I am holding a skeleton. eat some and smile." He showed a cute face that made me laughed.

"What an idiot." I whispered

"As long as you are not crying." He said

"If you ever see me anywhere next week, please don't tell anyone you know me." I said "Is not like you gonna recognize me but still please. we are stranger."

"Oh no, i will remember your face for sure."

"Please forget me." Oh no, please leave me alone!

"I thought i am good looking. why not? are you attached? or you...?"

"no. I don't want to hook up with any client of mine." and a beast like you.

"Huh?"

"You will know when we meet again."

"But you are my wife." He smiled "Everyone in the air plane think that."

"No."

"Lets make a deal. I will pay for your apartment and your new car?"

"Do I look like a hooker!?"

"No."

"So?"

"I was just joking"

"Is not funny"

"but you look like a little princess to me." he said "I like you." He whisper to me

to be continue~ yes, fairytale is back. =D

2010-12-05T16:58:00.002+08:00

I’m kinda mad at him. What a man who are afraid to reveal himself! I told Stella about it. She even google his name and facebook search him. Nat?! Who the hell is he. There are thousands of Nat is this world! I’m done with it. Playing stupid game with a stupid player. He must be laughing all way of me being stupid! JERK! Even though his have good taste and idea. But still JERK!

Since then I never went back to the bar though how much I love that place. Yeap, to avoid his message and embarrassment.

Two month had passed..

“Ally! Can we go to the bar for cakes.”

“No!”

“Come on!! It’s been 2 months!! God!!! Are you gonna avoid that place for the rest of your life!”

“Yes”

“Plus, not like he will reveal himself. He’s too scared to do so. If you hated it so much, ask your daddy to explode that place!”

“Demolish the whole empire hotel?”

“well.. no.. But.. I don’t care.. You’re going to that place missy! You! ALLYSON WYCLIFF, Have to face your fear! ”

“hmm.. You’re right!! I’m Allyson! The Wycliff! Why am I avoiding! I go places I want to go!”

“Right! That’s the Allyson I know! Let’s go!!”

To be frank, I didn’t really wanna go but Stella made a good point. Plus, I’ve made the note so ugly. He won’t have the guts to reply. Do I like him?! I don’t even know him! But, I did have a good impression of him..

“There there ally! You made your first step here.. didn’t you?! I’m Proud of you..”

“shut up stell, I’m not psychotic patient!”

“Sitting at the usual!?”

“yea.. I miss the view here!”

“I knew it!”

“Can I take your order miss?”

“I would like to have Scones, Opera cake, apple crumble and a chamomile tea. Thank you”

“You sure?! That’s a lot!”

“well of cause.. God knows how long you didn’t wanna come here! If i can't finish, I got you!”

“whatever.. I’ll have a strudel and earl grey. Thank you”

“Thank you miss.”

“so!!! What’s its like?!”

“what?!”

“how you feeling coming here? Nervous?! Tense?!”

“rather annoyed actually..”

“fine..”

“so! How you feeling then?!”

“what?!”

“you and your lift guy?!”

“Stop it already.. He’s long gone..”

“not in your heart, I assume..”

“here’s your cakes and tea miss. Enjoy”

“Thank you”

“Gosh!! How godly delicious these pastries are.. If I gain weight for these, You the one who to blame!”

“what?! Me!?”

“well, of cause.. it’s you that we don’t com…”

“Excuse me?”

“yes?”

“Nathaniel.”

“erm.. Hi Nathaniel?”

“Hi Nat.. Nathaniel.. Do we know you?”

“wait.. Nat?! Oh MY GOD!! ALLY!!!”

“you’re Nat?”

“Yes, I am”

Okay okay!! Honestly, I don’t know how to react when I first saw him. He look pretty familiar! But I can’t deny, he got a killer smile.

“oh.. The player who love to play mystery huh?”

“erm.. Yes the ‘player’ that you assumed and no I’m not a player.”

“Well, I don’t know. But you look rather familiar. Have we met before?”

“In a way..”

“You met him and didn’t know!? Are you serious Ally?!”

“Shut up Stell, I’m thinking..”

“well, Nathaniel have a seat while she’s thinking.. It can be long..”

“haha.. okay..”

“Cakes?”

“No thanks.”

“WAIT!!! You.. you are.. the bartender!”

“You’re a bartender?”

“well.. yea..”

“ Oh.. that’s interesting..”

“you served me that day didn’t you?!”

“yea.. and erm.. can I talk to you personally?”

“Oh.. I guess I should leave?”

“no no no… erm.. another table maybe?”

“fine for me..”

“have fun..”

“shut!”

“So.. what’s up?”

“I’m Nathaniel Grosvenor. I was born on 17 May in Paris. 20 this year. I was brought up in Paris but move to Boston at age of 5. At age of 15, I moved here in Manhattan. Currently, majoring in Architectural and French in Yale University. What else.. erm.. My parent live in Manhattan, so.. erm.. I usually travel back here quite often. Anything else you want to know?”

“erm..Your name sounds very familiar!”

“haha.. that’s all you can say?”

“it just came to my mind..”

“anyway.. I’m really sorry about the other time. I believe I didn’t give any good impression but believe me, I’m not what you think..”

“what I think?”

“well.. a player?!”

“oh..”

Ya right! Who will admit they are a player. It’s like admitting you killed someone after a crime. However, he knew that I’m not convinced. To my surprise he tried to persuade me that he’s not. So much of a man’s ego. I have to be frank that he’s kinda interesting.. and he really does sound familiar.. I just can’t think! Then a waiter came to interrupted our conversation. The waiter whispered to him and he stood up.

“I’m sorry Ally. But I have to leave now..”

“oh.. sure..”

“Are you free for a dinner tomorrow? meet me here 8pm?”

“erm.. sure..”

He gave me a bright smile and walked away. He turned back and asked for my name.

“Allyson Wycliff”

and he walked away.. I went back to Stella, who finished her second piece of cakes.

“So So So!? What did you guys talked about?!”

“nothing much.. he asked for dinner, tomorrow..”

“OMG!!! ALLY!! He likes you! You found your Mr. perfectionist!!!”

“Hey.. heard of the Grosvenor?”

“yea. Who doesn’t know them!”

“who are they? I can’t recall!! It just sound familiar..”

“A very famous entrepreneur.. oh! He owns this building too..”

“oh..”

“why?! Did you guys talked about the Grosvenor?”

“not really.. I spoke to one just now..”

“oh..”

“wait! WHAT!?”

“I said I spoke to one of the Grosvenor..”

“You mean Nathaniel?!!?! NAT?!? THAT BARTENDER??!!”

“yea..Nathaniel Grosvenor..”

“No wayyy!”

“well.. it is..”

“cool.. hey, hungry?”

I went to the dinner on the next day. Waited for him at my usual place.

“Excuse me, are you Miss Wycliff?”

“yes..”

“Mr Grosvenor asked you to meet him in the suit. This is the suit key and he asked you not to be mad, he assure that you won’t regret.”

WHAT IS THIS?! Yesterday he gave me a better impression. Today he asked me to a suit?!!? AM I LIKE A WHORE to him?! I called Stella and told her about it. She asked me to go up. So yea, If anything happened to me. He will be doomed!!!

As I reached that floor, my heart beat like its gonna jump out! As I’m about to open the door. He opened it first. I was shocked and stunted there. Embarrassing I know..

“HI!! Im about to go and pick you up here.. come in..”

“I thought we are going to eat at the restaurant?”

“not anymore.. room service!”

“come in!! wait.. are you afraid that I’m….”

I nodded!

“Do I look like those guy?!”

I nodded again.. He gave me his words that I will be safe. Somehow, the inner heart of mine trusted him.. The dinner went on well.. we talked and I get to know him even better. He told me that he went back to Paris a month ago. No wonder he took so long to reply the note.

He also told me that he live in this suit during weekends.

“So this is like the GossipGirl Chuck bass who bring girls to his suit?”

“Ya and nope.. like Chuck bass but no sleepint with girls..”

He told me he just love it here. For the view I guess, you could never get bored with Manhattan’s night view. I told him that finally why I thought his name is sound so familiar, the son of a famous entrepreneur. He apologize again for not telling me, he said he felt its not important for me to know. It's just a family name. Agreed.

I don’t know why, he kept explaining everything to me when I have doubts in my mind. He seems to know what I’m thinking, like a mind reader. Freaky I know, but impressive!He’s pretty humorous actually..

After that dinner, we did contact. He helped me a lot with ideas and of cause vice versa. But we didn’t get to meet often as we both busy people.

Since then I start going to the bar more frequent than usual.

Now you know the story, that’s the reason why I go there. The last note I received from him was 2 years back..

I'm heading back to paris, Ally.

It's really nice to meet you.

Take care.

Nat

How’s he doing now?! Well, He’s in Paris and he’s engaged. He’s a famous architect now. You often get to see him on architectural magazine.

And.. I’m here, a successful designer going to the bar get inspiration and her fiancé’s note. Yep, the Mr. Perfectionist.

The End.

“Stella..”

“yes?”

“I went to the bar again yesterday..”

“OMG!!! Are you serious?!? SO?! Did you met him?! How’s he like?! Tall?! Hot?!”

“no..”

“no!? he’s not hot?! No ?! what!”

“No I didn’t meet him.. but he pass me a note..and a small gift..”

“OMG! What?! A Cartier?”

“A blue rose..”

“Blue rose?! Your favorite rose?”

“yea.. but.. what does it mean?”

“heck I know.. its your favorite.. you should know!”

“well.. I just like it cause its unique.. how would I know what does it mean!”

“Google it then!!! Let me see…”

“Got it! It said blue rose signified mystery..”

“that’s rather mystery..”

“maybe he want to remain mystery and get your attention..”

“Urgh.. what a mystery guy with his intentions.”

“so what you gonna do?”

“do?! Do what!?”

Well, what did I do? I went back to that bar. He got me, okay! I am curious about him.. and since then.. we constantly exchange notes. Not daily, but constant. You get the idea. Have I met him yet? No, I didn’t ask though I’m curious. I don’t want to look as if I’m desperate to know. He didn’t ask either.

Ally,

Glad you like it. Well, Just feeling.

Thought you might like it.. Plus, it’s unique and different..

You come here frequent?

Nat.

Nat,

Thought?! That’s a very clever thought.

Blue rose signifies mystery.. I suppose that’s how you get girls’ attention?

Kinda.. love the ambient here. You?

Ally.

Ally,

Haha.. You’re wrong about me.

I don’t usually do this.. I gave them directly..

About that, frequent.. Beautiful place huh!

Nat.

So what now?! Playing some mystery game here?

Ally.

That’s the last note I replied. He didn’t replied for about a month. So a playboy got bored with his mystery game huh?!

Until that day I was there finding for inspiration again.. I just love looking out the window that shows the whole city.. The tiny lights.. like stars!

“Can I get you a drink miss?”

“Erm.. a macchiato will do..”

“Alright..”

“Here’s your macchiato and our new cocktail, Breeze.”

“but I didn’t order that..”

“Oh.. It’s a gentleman treat.. He left a note for you too..”

“oh.. Thank you..”

You look disturb.. A drink for you to distress..

and an apology if I offended you the other time..

Nat.

I look around the bar.. Finding him.. Silly me! How would I know it’s him.. There’s no one suspicious either.. I looked at the drink.. Took a sip.. It doesn’t taste like it name..

Why Breeze when it tastes like lavender and it’s purple.

Wait.. Lavender?! Breeze?

That’s it!!! Oh my god Ally! How can I not worship you!! You’re just so smart!!! Or… he gave that idea to me.. but how he knew about it?! Did he stalk me?! Who the hell is this guy!!! stupid player!

You know what! I’m tired of playing this game.

Go play this game with your other girlfriends.

It’s stupid giving message to someone who I don’t know.

Ally.

“Morning Sunshine!”

“Morning..”

“You look awfully tired!! Thinking of Mr. Perfectionist eh?”

“Urgh! Stop it! And No I’m not..”

“Sooo..are you going to find out who is he?”

“Hmmm.. nope..”

“ ‘Hmmm’ is a sense of doubt..”

“STELLA!!”

“WHAT!”

“Your Mr. mystery that you met in the lift!”

“WHERE! Omg!!! Hide me!”

“Now you know how it felt to be teased!”

“You’re so mean!”

“Why are you so afraid to talk to him? I can sense he’s secretly looking at you!”

“Ally, Stop! Im feeling hot already!”

“okay.. I’m sorry..”

“thanks!”

“but really! I don’t get it! A ‘hi’ won’t be that difficult..”

“stop!!!!!”

“He’s kinda cute though..”

“Can I talk to him?!”

“NO! I mean whatever.. find your Mr. perfectionist..”

“Someone’s jealous!”

Class is over. As usual, I’ll be having tea with Stella. Gosh, She’s getting annoying about this! She can’t stop asking If I would go to the bar and find this guy. She sounds so interested about this guy. She said the Chinese believes that if two people able to think alike without saying, they are meant to be. Funny I know. But why am I convinced?

“So, are you going there later?”

“I…don’t think so.. hey it’s getting late.. let’s go..”

I’ve been rolling on the bed for so long. Should I go or should I not go? If I go, he might assume that I care.. but.. URGH!!! Why does it bug me so much.. Stop thinking Ally!! Just Sleep!!! No.. what if he’s really the one!? Alright, I admit. I did thought of what Stella said.. fine fine.. just go there and see he’s there.. Simple!

“Smither!!! I need to go to the bar please..”

So in the end, I did went to the bar and to my surprise he did reply.

“Miss, there’s a note for you and a box..”

“thank you..”

Ally,

You’re welcome.

A small gift for you as an apology that I scribble your book and thank you for the compliment.

Nat

Nat.. He sound wasn’t that bad.. Humble.. at least he knew that he scribble my book. Not bad! The small box.. it was beautifully tied with a white ribbon. I slowly untied the ribbon, as I open the box.. It was a blue rose without it stem lie peacefully on a white silk of cloth. Elegant is the word to describe it..

I was so surprise at that time. How does he knew that I like blue rose and it’s not artificial dyed on blue roses. It’s the real blue rose, the colour look so beautiful as if it glows. How does he know? Or… he does like that flower too?!

Nat,

The flower is beautiful, thank you. But, why blue rose?

Ally.

I pass the note to the bartender and went home.

2010-12-02T00:45:00.004+08:00

"Damn it!!! Smither, get the keys.. Get me to the bar again, will you?"

It's just so frustrated when you're out of ideas. It drives me nuts!!!

Oh.. Let me first introduce myself..

I’m a designer who works in Wycliff Advertising Agency, an international agency that owned by my family. Yes, I’m the Heiress of this agency, Allyson Wycliff. It’s not easy to be a Wycliff. Everyone just look at you all the time. When will you success or fall? My life is no Paris Hilton. My dad is a huge fan of perfectionist and obviously that how I was brought up. My dad always asked for the best from me. He told me inspirations and ideas is our key to success. He was right about everything, I guess father does know best huh? Oh no no, don’t get me wrong I never regretted it! I love what I’m doing.

Let’s stop the family story shall we?

Anyway, Why I’m having such headache? I’m having this stupid project. Thanks to my best friend, Stella. Yeap, that Stella from another famous corporate. WHAT?! BEST FRIEND?! I know! I know!! You people assume we are rivals. Gosh! Those paparazzi! We got so tired of explaining. Just note that we are best friend. No Hilton and Richie.

I believe everyone heard about Stella’s latest project for the boy band, Woods. Well, I’m involved part of it. Because of Stella and her boy band, I have to give extra hardwork in it and those people are problematic. Now you see the headache part.

I’m not taking a break in the bar but find inspiration in this particular bar. Only this bar, sound fishy but this is how the story begins..

Few years back..

I was in this bar. Okay I admit, I was there to relax that time BUT with my sketch book. I carried my sketch book with me all the time. In case inspiration comes. Like they said, when it comes it come!

I just don’t understand what goes wrong with this sketch. Its just not right! I’ve been staring at it for pass few hours! Corrected parts that should be. But it still doesn’t look perfect!!!

WAIT!!! I think I..

“I’m sorry, Miss Wycliff. But it’s getting late. Mr Wycliff is asking for you to be home now.”

“Right..” I’m a university student yet my dad treats me like a child!

I hurried take the last gulp of my vodka, pack my things and rush to the car.

“Thanks Smither and sorry too..”

“Not a problem, Miss Wycliff. Now, Hurry and drop your ideas down!”

“Well, Goodnight Smither. I’ll see you tomorrow!”

I rushed to my room and get all my stuffs out. WAIT! Where’s my Sketch book! Where the heck it went!!!! FUCK!!!! Everything IS INSIDE!! NO!!! I CAN’T LOSE IT!!!

I turned my bag upside down.. No sign of the book!!!!

Don’t panic Ally!! Think!!! THINK!!!

Smither’s call, Vodka, Bill, Pencils…. Oh no!

I left it in the bar!!! I’m so Doomed!!!! The bar is filled with people, it will be gone by anytime. No it won’t! Be Positive!!!

Okay! The first thing I do tomorrow is to get it back from the bar. No Ally!! The bar doesn’t open during day time dumbo!

ARGH!! I guess I just have to pray harder…

“Stell! You have no idea what happened to me yesterday!!!”

“what happened dear!?”

“I lost my sketch book at the bar!”

“Well, get it back later!! Why the frowning..”

“FROWN?! I’M TERRIFIED!!! All my ideas, stell!! All my brilliant ideas!!!”

“Right! The perfectionist and her perfect idea..”

“Not helping!!! A little of humanity here please!”

“Alright.. Say we go for tea after class and head to the bar alright?! I’ll help you search it High and low.. even tearing the bar apart until we found it, alright?!”

“Well, that what you MUST to do, of cause!! Best friend’s duty!”

“yes, my princess..”

Evening..

“WHAT! It’s only 8PM and it’s crowded!!!! What’s the occasion!”

“It’s Friday, ally! Hmm.. you sure know how to choose a good time to lose your book..”

“Shaddap bitch..”

“Fine.. Now, where did you left your perfect book?!”

“At that corner..”

“I’ll ask the bartender… you search there okay?!”

“kay..”

“Excuse me, I left a sketchbook here yesterday. Have you seen it?”

“Hmm.. I’m sorry dear, I see no sketchbook here.. but I’ll help you ask my other bartenders..”

“Thanks..”

“ Hey miss, You’re lucky... A young man found it and pass it to us earlier.”

“Thank you so much!!”

“HEY ALLY!!! I found your perfect book!”

“OHMYGOD STELL!!!!! Thank you so much!! I love you best!!”

“Hey.. Great idea you have here.. Perfectionist with her brilliant idea eh?”

“huh?! What?!”

“Honestly, I don’t understand why did you stress yourself so much.. This idea is awesome.. I believe Mr. Sander will love it..”

What’s she talking about?! I snatched the book and.. why is it so messy!!!

“No way…”

“what?!”

“its.. not my handwriting..”

“well.. someone being bored and.. scribble? But It’s good!”

“Yea, but.. Remember I told you I have the idea to perfect it.. and… this it is.. the person have the same idea as me!”

“Ooo..now what? Miss perfectionist meet Mr perfectionist?! Interesting!!”

“Quit that!! He stole my idea!!! WHAT A JERK!!”

“Honey.. no one stole your idea.. plus, you didn’t tell anyone nor write it down.. So No one knows what you think!”

“then… whats this!”

“Mr Perfectionist!”

“whatever.. let’s go..”

“what?! Are you serious Allyson Wycliff?!?! Aren’t you curious who’s mr perfectionist?!”

“No.. He stole my idea.. Plus, how did you know it’s a He?! and why did you look into my book?”

“well. Mr bartender told me A YOUNG MAN found it.. Come on!!! Stop being a stubborn bitch! ”

“Excuse me, Did you know who’s that guy who found this book?”

“Hmm… Sorry girls.. he’s not here today..”

“Okay.. so he’s not here.. We can go now!”

“wait! Don’t you wanna thank him for his help?”

“Thank him?! Are you insane!? He stole my idea and scribble it!”

“He did not!! He found your precious book..”

“Fine..”

“Hey Mr. Bartender.. Do you have a piece of paper and pen..”

“Here you go miss..”

“Thanks”

To Mr. Unknown,

Thank you for returning my book.

Ally

“Happy now?!”

“Not yet..give me that paper”

and brilliant idea you have there. :)

“STELLA!!!”

“Thank you Mr. Bartender! Will you pass him this note?”

“Alright girls..”

“You cheater!”

“I’m not.. I’m helping you.. Aren’t you curious?! Both of you have the same mind.. The chinese says two heart think alike! He might be your Mr. Right!! This is so cool..”

“Non sense.. You and I have the same thought sometimes.. So are you my Mr. Right?! Plus, what if he’s some old man!! Gross!”

“He’s a young man.. Ally”

“Whatever.. let’s go..”

To be honest, I’m curious about this guy. Other than daddy, there’s no one who can correct my idea that I’m satisfied with. Stella?! Well, sometime but we both have different taste. Who is this guy..

continue..

lost.

2010-11-24T21:21:00.005+08:00

it has been years not seeing him and why now again?

staring at the meeting room thru my office, the familiar face of his made me feel somehow sad. We used to stay at the same student accommodation during my university days. those days were childish and stupid.

There was a Starbucks at the lobby of our place, everyday he will get himself a cup of coffee before going off to class. Starbucks was too expensive for me, however, i saved every single penny just to get a cup of house coffee once a week, because this is the best way or i have to say the only way to stay with him for awhile. All those years, I never talk to him before and I was scared, i got no confident at all, who am i? a short and plum nerd that always carried loads of programming books? Why would someone like him wants to talk to me? Nevertheless, there are always loads of girls talks to him while waiting for his coffee.

"Stella, are you ready for the meeting?" My designer asked me

"Oh.. Yes." I answered. what am I afraid of? he never remembers me and today he will never recognize me since I am so different compare to before. I am not that ridiculously stupid nerd any more. I am Stella, I owned one of the fastest growing company in Asia. I deal with people all around the world, why am i still afraid of him? Come on, I can do it and he will never know we met each other before.

_________________________________

"Hi." I smiled and walked to the meeting room.

"Hello" His manager greeted "Where is Stella?"

"Oh, my bad. i did not introduce myself, I am Stella."

"Oh goodness. I expect to see someone older." His manager laugher.

As usual, he did not said a word. He was wearing a pair of huge sunglasses, and he looks rather moody today.

"Ms. Stella?"

"Oh sorry, I just drifted away." I said "May i know what do you want us to help you on?"

"Well, i know that Iphone games are consider as a trend these days. everyone is talking about it. I want your company to create a game based of my boys."

"Your boys as in?"

"Oh sorry, Look, 5 of them are in a boy band called Woods." His manager said

"Oh.." I did not realised there were some of else however, i know about his band.

"You are not a trendy person dont you?" he asked

"Oh, I am not so into celebrities. I am sorry." I answered "So there are quite a number of game gender actually, do you have any idea which direction..."

"If we know all these, we dont need you to do this for us." Suddenly he teased while playing with his phone

"........" What happened to me, i feel like crying. damn!

"I dont know why do all us need to be here. Why can't just both of you discuss about it. I am not interested at all." he said again

"Dave!" His manager cried

"Actually,..."

"I am not interested." He said and walked out the meeting room and slammed the door as well as the rest of the "boys"

"Mr. Tedson, why dont we talk about this tomorrow or next week? and i dont think is a need for your 'boys' to come along."

"Sorry, Stella. Perhaps I will call you later today or tomorrow."

"Sure." I answered and saw him walked out the meeting room.

"Celebrities huh? This is why i hate dealing with them. They are not the first ones but they are the rudest!" Said my young designer

"Well, they are those who pay us after all. Whatever is it, Iphone game shouldn't take too long we should just quickly deal with it and get rid of them." Yes, get rid of him.

"Is this the recipe for being successful?" My young designer asked

"No, the best recipe is to get a rich father like your boss!" Someone said "I left my wallet." Is him!

I ignored him and just about to walk out the meeting room

"Don't tell me you don't remember me at all." He said "How could you pretend that i am a total stranger to you?"

"Even if i do remember you, we have never been friend." I said

"You could have at least say hi." He said

"I am sorry I am not good at socialising." I answered

"You were a lot better than before." He said

How could he remember me? How could he!?

"I was that person who trapped in the elevator with you. You were rushing for your presentation I didn't even have a chance to.."

"Whatever is it, it has been years. I am not interested" I never know it was him, I was rushing for my final presentation however the elevator... I did not look back but just run to my uni as quick as possible.

He threw something on the table. It was my Cartier ring.

"How could you left something that expensive without noticing?"

"Oh god. It was with you all the time?" Gosh, it was a fake, a stupid present from my sister for my birthday. God, i burst into laughter.

"why are yo...u....!?" He asked

"It's a fake. My sister bought it from Bangkok during my bday." I answered "But i liked it a lot."

"And?" He stared at me

"Thank you for bringing it back. it meant a lot to me. " I said and took the ring

"A fake ring huh?" After all these years, a fake ring. that's it!?

"I didnt see you after that day... Why?" He asked

"That was my final year presentation, I left on that night itself." I answered and walked out the room. This it is, no more. he ignored me before. but he was nice in the elevator, the only reason was because there are no one and nobody will know that he was nice to a nerd. I knew it. And now he is back because i am not that nerd any more. I have to move on with my life.

_______________________________

Special**

"Stella!" He cried and hugged me "I looked for you everywhere after that day but no one knows where have you been!" He said "I like you, I know you will be in Starbucks on every Wednesday. Everyday, i will be there even I plan to skip class I will still be there. There was once you were late but I waited for you."

"what are you talking about!?" I asked

"I never got a chance to talk to you! you disappear as soon as you get your coffee! You never bother to say hi, i know you didn't like me." He said "Every time when you look at me, I can feel that you are sad and scared. Until that day in the elevator, i finally got the chance to talk to you."

"..............." I didnt know what to say

"And i know that you didnt know it was me that day. Because you will never talk to me in that way if you know it was me. You wouldn't have told me about yourself, your studies and everything you said." He said "Stella..."

"How about Queenie?" Queenie, his girlfriend. The tall and pretty young celebrity

"Queen..ie!? That was a lie, that was what those people want you people to think. She is new she need someone and some affairs to be famous." He said "and, i have not been in a relationship for 9 years due to my company contract. I wasn't allow to have a girlfriend, those that you heard about are just some monkey show that i am forced to put on."

"Stella, I love you. it has been 5 years, give me a break, all i want is to be with you!"

there was a special ending for momoko. Yes, just for her/

btw, it was inspired by a dream of mine. not totally the same but some part of it is from my dream.

french boy

this is my assignment but i thought of asking for everyone's opinion. is a waking dream.

I woke up on the ground. I opened my eye and the sunlight was too strong i used my hand to cover my eyes and slowly removed my hands. I saw a few red and blue birds flying around, they look like those in Walt Disney's Cinderella animation.

I rose and saw a waterfall in front of me. I see carefully, there was a little blonde boy scouting down there with a stone on his hand. My six sense tell me that he is a French. He has a pair of huge blue eyes, he looks very animation just like Honey from Ouran High School(Japanese Animation). He is wearing a light blue polo tee and a white shorts. He is staring at me as if im an alien. He ran to me with a smile on his face. He hold my left hand and asked:

"Big sister, who are you?"

I didnt know what to do, i dont feel right to revelled my real self to him so i told him a name of my favourite actress "Isabella".

He did not let go my hand instead he drag me to the deep forest. We reached a cliff. He told me we are suppose to go to the opposite of the cliff. I him how can we do that and he told me to close my eyes for 5 seconds.

After 5 seconds I saw a series of beautiful translucent broken path. it looks colourful due to the reflection of the sunlight. The french boy asked me to cross the path. I asked him what's at the other end. he said everyone. I asked again, who is everyone. he simply answered:

"the goods and the bads"

I followed him and crossed the path. The path is soft and fluffy, as if im stepping on candy floss.

Finally i reached the opposite of the cliff. I saw a huge apple tree and i started to look around, there are oranges, and strawberries tress as well. I looked at the ground and i saw some dry brown leafs, and a red apple on the ground. I was to pick it up but the boy stopped me. He told me it's poisonous. He hold my hand again and asked me to follow him, he is going to bring me to his mother's, which is an inn in the deep forest.

Along the way, i saw some beautiful light blue flowers that looked very much like Sakura(cherry blossom). The blue sakuras were falling like snow, the scene was very beautiful. I reached a cottage, i suppose it's the inn. There are both huge white mountain behind the inn.

I shut my eyes and opened the door of the inn.

BOOM! im awake. that's the part 1!

Remember?

typical fairytale that everyone loves. enjoy.

"Are you okay?" He said

"Y..ea.." I coughed hardly because of the dust

"Can you walked?" He asked and moved the table that felt on my lap

"I guess so." I said and tried to stood up

"Slowly.." He said "be careful" he hold my hand

"Thank you.." I said and stared at him, isnt him the famous....?

"Dont stare at me this way in this situation." He laughed "We should find our way out."

"Im sorry." I said

He hold my hand to lead me out however after awhile

"Im sorry, i should have realised that.." he said and took his silver bracelet out "hold this, i should hold your hand like that, im so sorry." He said and smile

That was my first time travel to Taiwan, the first time i experienced earthquake, and the first time i completely felt in love with someone i only met for 3 hours.

______________________________

"Why are you staring the this weird looking ring?" An old lady sat next to him in the aeroplane asked

"It belongs to someone interesting." he said

"I can tell form the ring." The old lady said "It's a curling snake."

He did not replied but smiled

"It's huge.." the old lady said and stared at him in a weird way "Are you a gay!?"

"No.." He quickly deny "Because the ring was too big it dropped out while i hold her hand"

"Ohh i see.." She said with doubt

"Im not a gay.." He said again

It has been 2 years, how is she doing? do she still remember me? Every time when i am in Australia i will look for her on the street. i know i am an idiot but i really want to see her again. i wouldnt say that is love but i really want to see her again.

"Bette! cant believe you are running away." Said a young man "I thought you are tired of being single? why dont you accept my friend as your boyfriend?"

"I dont like him." I said

"You can try it, when you realised is not your cup of tea then pour it away." He said "he deserve a chance."

"No! why would i drink a cup of tea that i already know i will hate it from smelling it!?" I asked "Love is something precious, it's so precious that i wont simply try it!"

"That person you are waiting... you wont and will never see him again." He said "Is a fact, Bette."

"Look at the bracelet, it doesnt fit you." He said "just like him. he is famous, rich, why would he remember a girl like you?"

"You dont even know him." I said and walked backward without looking "Ouch!" I knocked someone

"I am sorry I didnt not.." Is him? or that's my imagination? I looked at my friend and he was stunned.

"Is... him..." Said the young man "Bleue.."

Bleue smiled at him and wanted to walk away but i pulled his coat and he stared at me

"Is you!?" He said. the girl I have been looking for years!

"Do you still remember me?" I broke into tears without a reason

"Yes.. I remember you." He said and hugged me

to be continue..

brain stuck...

"Sweetheart are you ready for work today?" Asked a middle aged women

Her name was Tiffany. Aunt Tiffany was my only relative left. I was a her husband's daughter. Few years ago, my parents passed away because of SARS. My parents were doctors, just like aunt Tiffany's husband. Three of them volunteer to work for the SARS patients and my uncle and my father passed away not long after and followed by my mother as well.

"Yes." I said and walked out to the cafe.

"There you go." she passed me a cup of tea "You are still a little girl inside."

"What makes you think so?"

"You hate coffee." She said and laughed

"Aunt Tif..." and i stared at my watch "Oh no! im going to be late.." again..

"I will see you tonight at dinner!" I ran out of the cafe and ran to my car

"I hope you dont be back for dinner." said Aunt Tiffany

"Why not?" Asked a gentlemen

"Oh.. im sorry, i thought no one was here." She replied

"Is ok.. can i have a long black?"

"Take away?" She guessed by looking at his outfit.

"Yea.."

"She was my brother-in-law's daughter. It has been a long long time after her puppy love." she said "She broke up with her boyfriend because of someone she met only once and she was so confident that she will found him. "

He was silent

"I dont really like her first boyfriend either but there is no point for her to wait for someone she dont even know his name for so many years. furthermore i dont think that person even remember her." She said and passed the coffee to him "Im so sorry for telling you my family problems."

"Is okay, from now on i will be a regular customer of yours." He said and had a slip of his coffee "I need my morning coffee on every weekdays."

"Of coz." she replied.

"someone she didnt even know his name huh? an idiot of a hopeless romantic?" He asked himself

__________________________________________

"Please wait!" I cried and ran into the lift "Thank you"

The lift was so full that i believe the next person walk in it's going to start crying of over load. luckily im skinny enough.. LOL.

"excuse me" A women said and i walked out the lift to allow them to walk out. i walked back into the lift where only a man with a cup of coffee on his hand left. I looked at him and i realised he was the man i met in the rain few years ago

"Oh my god!" I cried. is him!!! That person i have waited, i wonder does he remember me or he doesnt even remember about that day

"Do i know you?" He asked.

"Erm, no. "I answered "I thought you were someone i know." I said. Im very certain it's him, that voice.

"Oh.." and we did not talk anymore

___________________________________

"Do you know the new director is here today?" My friend asked me

"Erm.. no" how would i know? didnt i just reached the office?

"He is extremely handsome! he looks so cool!"

"Really?" i cant think but that person i met just now. finally, i found him but he doesnt remember me.

"There will be a meeting in 15 minutes." said a guy "hey our new director!" The guy said and pointed on the upper floor.

Is him! why is he working with me? Oh My god! what should i do? Sigh.. i cant believe in my luck sometimes.

__________________________________

"Brigitte, are going dinner with us?" Asked a girl

"Oh no, i promised Aunt Tiffany that im going to dine with her tonight. Plus i still have something to do." I answered

"Sigh.. why do i have so much crap to do? Why do i have save everyone's ass! damn it." I whispered angrily. "Why do i have to deal with a bunch of idiots? why cant i find a better job? why do i have to work with 'him'????" a thousand of questions, i need answers!

"You should ask your self, why dont you ask for help when is needed instead of telling the bunch of useless idiots is okay i will do it!" Someone said

I look at the direction of the voice came from, is the upper floor and i saw him standing at the transparent divider.

"You dont even know what is going on, dont make it like you have been in this office for very long." What does he know? if i dont complete the work, if i dont save their ass, i might be fired because we are in a team. does he know that?

"What i know is you have to burn mid night oil without a good reason." He replied

"What are you doing here? is already 8pm." I asked

"Are you aware that im your boss? i think i deserve a more polite way of speaking."

"Fine, im not going to ask you anything." I only know you forget about me

He didnt walked away but looking at her

"What an idiot" he thought and smiled

"Stop staring at me." I cried

"Okay, im leaving. good luck" He said and walked to my desk "Looks like you have a lot to complete."he said and walked away

what a bastard!? he said and smile and walked away! i wait a bastard for so long? oh my god! i must be crazy!

___________________________________________

"Aww, im hungry." I said and looked at my watch "It's 9pm. im sure aunt Tiffany is asleep."

I looked up and i saw him with 2 packed of food.

"Your dinner." He said "What else do you need to do?" He sat beside me and switch on his laptop

"I can do it my self." I answer

"Im your boss, im ordering you to give me some of your work." he said

"can you.." be more polite!? " this is the last one." i passed to him

"next time, i dont want to see your face after 6pm." he said

"I will try." i said and i realized it's raining outside

"Why are you staring at the window?" he asked

"It's raining." I said and thought of that rainy day again

"A girl sat on me once, on a heavy rain" He said

"do you still contact her?" I asked

"No" He answered "Why should i?" He asked

"How does she looks like?" I asked

"Short and skinny, i dont remember her face" He answered

"Why not?" I asked

"She was a kid, why do i need to remember a kid? is not like she is a hot babe." He said 'Why are you so curious about it?"

"I was trying to talk to you so the mood wouldnt look so dead here." i said

"Is not a need." He said "i dont like to talk when im working."

"Whatever." I answered

"The fish burger is yours, please dont take the beef burger coz it's mine."

"thanks, how much is it?" I asked

"Is not a need. is a treat from your new boss."

"How thoughtful, a treat. McDonald's." i mocked

"Dont force yourself to eat it if you dont want to." he teased me

it's gonna rain again 1

2010-08-13T00:02:00.003+08:00

the rain was so heavy that i couldnt see what's in front of me. i was running along the street without an umbrella. i heard people screaming but why? i look behind and i felt on the floor.

_______________________________________________

it was a day that rains cats and dogs. i was walking and i heard a women yelled. i stopped and i realized something light knocked me down.

______________________________________________

"Ouch.." my ass hurt. she said and thought.

she wonder what did she knocked down. she cant even see who is in front of her, she got no choice but yelled "Im sorry to whoever i knocked down." and she realized some was touching her back, she screamed and rose from the floor, however, someone was pulling her long pants. She realized she was sitting on a human! she quickly jumped away and ran.

"Did i just knocked a guy down and sat on his cheast!?" She whisper

______________________________________

"Did she just knocked me down and ran away?" He asked himself and slowly he rose. "shit, my back is hurt!" what on earth is going on!?

He walked into the nearest cafe and sat down.

"Welcome." A familiar voice said "I will be right there with you."

He tried really hard in searching his memory, who the hell does this voice belongs to.

"Sorry sir, i just caught the rain so i spent some time on changing." she said and turned around

"I remember the back of hers, it was the girl just now!" He thought

"May I take your order sir?" She asked and smiled

"Oh yea.. just a long black." he said and smiled

"You look familiar..." she said

"Yea, you knocked me down in the rain just now." He said and smiled again

"Oh my god, it was you!?" She cried

"yea, i didnt want to tell you coz you seemed freaked out in the rain just now."

"Oh my god." she is embarrassed but not freaked out.

"Is okay." he smiled "How much is the coffee?"

"Oh no, just take it.. please, is my treat."

"But.."

"No, no.. just take it..like please take it." she didnt dare to look at him

will be continue. will end at chp 3! promise!

im here

2010-07-26T23:34:00.005+08:00

This was the most awkward moment in my entire life. i cannot believe i was sitting in front of my 4 months old my ex boy friend and his soon to be girlfriend. what is going on?

well, calm down. let me think. okay, im suppose to meet up my besties but they told me they bump into a friend which apparently is a friend of my ex as well and... and.. when i arrived, everyone including my ex and the girl were sitting there. they left no choice but to sit and eat quietly.

So she was the girl we always fought about, the god damned pretty girl huh? Is she pretty? Oh come on, look at her flat nose, jeez they call her a beauty? oh, shoot me.

"Why arent you picking up your cell!?" Someone cried and i looked at the person

For a moment i cant recall who is this blonde guy. Why is he yelling at me?

"Women! are you listening to me!?" He cried again.

Oh, no! It was Terrius! how can i forgot someone important like him. oh, god damned myself.

"Im sorry, i was thinking of something else.." Darn, what happened just now?

"is ok." He replied "There you go the anime series you wanted." he handed over a bag to me

"Oh, thank you." i answered and suddenly "Terrius, do you want to join us for lunch?" I asked and helplessly stare at him.

"Erm.. yes?" did she actually leave him any choice?

"Cool." I said and smile "come, sit beside me."

"What am i suppose to do?" He whispered to me

"You are someone more than a friend to me now." I whisper and lightly bite his right ear

"I hate you." he said and kissed my forehead.

"Ok is enough." i whispered and turned back to everyone. i saw my friends were all stunned, i bet they are wondering since when im in a relationship again.

After ordering our meal, everyone was silent. Is pretty awkward thou, there are too many strangers.

"Sweetheart, are we still going to the beach next weekend?" My best friend Kate asked me

"Yeah.." i answered "lets go together." i looked Terrius

"erm.. weekends?" he asked

"There will be plenty of people during weekends, take 3 days leave and lets go have some fun." i said to him

"Erm.."

"Come on!" I secretly pinched his arm

"O..Kay" What is she planing to do to me?

"Lets go together." i said again but this time im staring at my ex and the girl and his friends "lets have some fun. Summer is ending soon." I sweetly smile

____________________________________

"Terrius" i said

"Hmmp?" He made a sound

"Thank you." I answered

"You are welcome." He lied on the chair

"Sir, the airplane is landing soon please dont lower down your chair." an air stewardess said to him

"Okay." He said and stare at me for awhile.

The air plan was landing however it was very unstable "I hate you." He said "I am scared, i dont want to die here."

"I am scared too!" OMG! We should never had bought an air ticket from budget airlines! I shouldnt listen to Kate! This is really scary!

He holded my hand and said "If anything happened, we shall immediately jump out of the plane."

"Okay dude, the plane is kinda unstable but is not that serious yet." I said, he was over reacting.

"Missie, in my entire life i have never been on a budget airlines before!"

"Same as me!"

Finally the planed was landed on the ground. Due to it's a budget airline, we didnt not actually land at a place the planes should landed but some where a bus was waiting for us to fetch us to the main terminal.

"This is lame" i said

"But is 3 times cheaper sweet, you shouldnt complain that much." Said Kate

"She has a point." Claimed Terrius

"You, shut up." I said and slapped his back

"Whatever." he answered and helped me on my bag "trouble." he said

"I will be trouble-ing you for the rest of your life!" I said and laughed

"Madness." He simply answer

__________________________________

"So, they only left 4 rooms and one of them is with a double bed." Said Patricia, a very close friend of Kate, they know each other since high school.

"Alex, how about you and your girlfriend share the double bed?" Kate asked my ex

"Erm.." Alex didnt know and he looked at the girl

"Is ok, Terrius and i will take the double bed room." I said and snatched the keys "Are you okay?" I asked Terrius

"Yea, im fine with it." he is really fine with it

We walk into the room and the room was awesome, however there are some flower petals on the bed and there are a plate of chocolate on the table. wait, this is not a deluxe room, this is a suite.

"Terrius, are we in the wrong room?" I asked

"Nope." he said and ate one of the strawberry that dipped with chocolate "I upgraded our room"

"Ohh.. " Is good thou, i dont mind paying a little more but the flowers and chocolate..

"I told them we are on our honeymood." He said "Do you want some chocolate?"

"yea!" I ran to the chocolates "You are smart."

"Well, lets get dressed and head to our lunch." He said "im starving to dead" he pat my head and walked to the washroom

"I am not changing, im lazy." i said

"Okay."

__________________________

Since i did not changed, I were sitting on the beach looking Patricia and a few girls playing volleyball. Kate walked to me and sat next to me.

"Who is he? The Terrius." Kate asked

"A friend." Is he really just a friend? Terrius, a good looking blonde with dark grey eyes. I know him thru one of the clubs in my university 6 months ago, he was my senior. back then, he didnt know i was in a relationship, we got really close and i realized i have feeling toward Terrius, i stop seeing him because i felt bad every time i looked at Alex.

Nevertheless, i too know that Alex has feeling toward the flat nosed girl as well but i told myself, as long as i do more we will be together. At the end of the day, im to stress up i gave up. Think about it, it wasnt about Terrius or the flat nosed girl but our relationship wasnt going anywhere, we are not made for each other.

"Why are you doing this to yourself? This is not a competition, is okay to be single for awhile." She scolded me

"Terrius, is someone important to me." I said and i quickly cover up my mouth with my hands. why am i saying this? i got no clue at all.

"Hey both of you, come up here! the view is awesome" cried a girl named Eve standing on a huge stone

"It's dangerous..." I said and walked up and i saw 3 guys were snapping the photos of the my friends. "Hey! What are you doing!?" I asked

"I.." They were speechless

"Shouldn't you ask for permission!?"

"Why, you nasty girl!" one of the man grab my hand tightly and pull me to the edge of the huge stone. the girl was screaming because if the man let go his hand at that moment im going to fall into the ocean.

"Are you going to throw me into the ocean!?" I asked

"Oh, yes im going to!" he said and let go of his hand. When i was falling down i saw Terrius was running toward me and he jumped.

he carried me back to the beach and put me down.

"I have called for doctor." Said Kate

"Im fine, i dont need a doctor." I said

"Who do you think you are!?" Terrius asked me sharply "You are just a girl! What the hell are you thinking!? you threaten those people!? asked them to throw you into the ocean without thinking you can swim!?"

"I did what i should do. shouldnt i stop them!?" I cried "Before my friends photos go wild in the internet!?"

"I want you to apologize to everyone for your reckless action!" Said Terrius

"Im sorry for troubling you to save me and i dont think im wrong!" I said and walked back to the hotel.

_____________________

The buffet dinner was rather quiet. No one dare to say anything because Both of us werent talking to each other.

"Sweet, lets go get some food?" Asked Kate

"Okay." I said and rose.

"Dear, i think you should really apologized to Terrius."

"WHY!?" I asked. even Kate thinks im wrong. wtf

"He was very worry about you. He jumped into the ocean without second thought."

"I.." totally forgot about 'worrying' all of them

When i was back on the table, Terrius has already left. However there are two peeled prawn on my plate. I stared at Eve.

"He peeled it and claimed that he is very tired." She said

He still remember that i love prawn however im allergic to it?

(flash back)

"Why arent you eating the prawns?" He asked

"Oh im lazy" I said

"I will peel it for you." he smiled

"Thank you." i answered

"Do you want another one?"

"Oh no, i cant take too many of it, im sensitive to it but i love it." I answered "so, two would be enough"

______________________________

I walked into the hotel room and he was sleeping on the sofa. I walked into the washroom quietly.

I unlock the door after i changed and start brushing my teeth. I feel really awful, i totally forgot that there are still people worry about me.i thought i lost Alex and there wont be anyone else and i never know that im someone that will worries Terrius.

"Do you know i was very worry about you?" he asked and hugged me

"I didnt know what should i do when the man was about to throw you into the ocean." he said "I know you dont used to depend on anyone after your broke up, but please im here for you."

"I didnt know that..."

"I will worry about you?" he asked

i nodded

"Look at me, do you know how sad was i when i found out that you was avoiding me back then?"

"I am sorry.." i said and hugged him "i am really sorry."

"Is okay, take a rest." he said

____________________________________

I woke up at 12pm. I couldnt sleep last night until 5am. I cant stop thinking those days when we were still in university. those days, everyone thought that we were in a relationship. we were, i guess just that both of us didnt realized it, or mayb im the only idiot who didnt realized about it.

i stared at the celling and suddenly i see a pink balloon flew over. i sat up and look around. balloons. pink and light purple balloons. is all over the room. what is going on? I quickly woke Terrius who was sleeping next to me up.

he pulled me toward him "I love you" he said and kissed my forehead.

i wonder...

2010-07-16T21:49:00.003+08:00

i stepped into the restaurant and i saw my sisters were already there waiting for me.

"You are late." said my sister

"As usual" followed by Zoe, a friend of my sister.

"I dont mean to, it was just.." I stopped and starred at a new face and wonder who is he.

"Is okay, just quickly order will do." Said my sister "we are starving cause of you."

I wonder who is he and why no one bother to introduce him?

___________________________

"Wao! for once you are early." teased my sister.

I was early for the lunch today because i couldn't sleep last night. There are so many thoughts in my mind. my relationship is certainly in a very dangerous stage. Everyone tells me that i am still young there are tons of guys out there waiting for me. However, i dont feel like giving up and i hate being all alone again.

"Kid! are you listening!?" My sister cried and slapped my head

"Oh.. yea, listening." I answered and saw the guy from the other day again. who is he?

After our lunch, I went to the washroom when i came out i realized he left. I cant stop thinking who is he even i dont really remember his face.

"I am going to the washroom" My sister said

"Why didnt you go with me just now!?" I asked

My sister ignored me and walked to the direction of the washroom with her friend Zoe and left me alone. I walked into the kitchen of the restaurant. This restaurant belongs to a friend of my sister and i know almost everyone working here.

"Cindy." I cried

Cindy is the chef of this place. Before that she was a chef in the hotel my sister is working.

"Oh dear, you are here." answered Cindy "What's up?" She asked while packing up the kitchen.

"Lunch is over huh?" I asked

"Yea. finally." She said

"What's brothering you?" She asked

"Oh nothing." I tried to avoid having any eye contact with her, i dont think is the right time to discuss about my relationship now "Hey cin, do you know who is the guy." I tried to change the topic

"Who?" Asked Cindy

"The guy, the new guy who joined us for lunch just now."

"Oh, you mean Luc?"

"I dont know his name, the blacked hair guy."

"Yea, Luc." She answered "Im not very sure as well, if im not wrong he is a chef in the hotel your sister is working."

"chef?" as i thought so, that's the first impression i had on him anyway.

"Yea, i am too not so sure about it, perhaps you should ask your sister yourself."

"HA-HA, who cares, just curious. is not like my sister will be in love with him or whatever." I said and reminded my self that my sister is a lesbian.

________________________

"Hey." A man said

"Oh.." The guy

"Harriet's sister?" He asked

"Yea." What is he doing here?

"A tall latte please." He ordered "What do you want?" he asked me

"Oh.. is ok, i will.."

"No, i will treat you." He said with a smile

"erm.. well a tall Hot chocolate with low fat milk." I answered

"Are you having here?" He asked

"Yes, but i would like to have a take away cup." I said

"Ok." He answered "So are you studying around here?"

"Oh no, i am seeing my friend in half an hour time."

"Me too, perhaps we could have a sit then." He suggested

"Yea, why not." I answered

We were silent and i stared at him. he is not that bad actually. he looks like an Eurasian. is this why he has a French name?

"Hey.." He said and wave in front of my eyes

"Oh.. sorry, i was lost in my thought."

"haha.. i guess so." he laughed

"hey, erm.. can I ask you a question?"

"Please."

"What is your name?" I asked, i have act like i know nth right? or else i will ended up be some despo who spy him.

"Luc, that's my name and im a pilot." He said "I know your name is Ariel."

"Oh yea, my sister must have mentioned me." Pilot!? isnt he a chef? stupid cindy gave me the wrong information.

"Of coz, you are her youngest sister."

"Is nice to know that." I said.

"Hey Luc, how are you related to my sister?" I finally asked

"erm.." he took a pen and star drawing two circle in the tissue "This is me and your sisters and.."

"Hey Luc!" he was about the explain a guy with browned hair cried

"Hey!" he answered "Perhaps we could have dinner tonight?" he asked

"Erm.. ok?" i felt like my blushing. oh god.

"Dress casually, we will talk about it." He said and walked away to his friend.

Dress casually? does it mean i have got no chance at all? i asked myself.

Im Princess

2010-05-09T00:10:00.010+08:00

"Im Princess." I said

"you are your daddy's princess. not a real princess." he said calmly

"no im a princess and you are a frog" i said and smiled like a child

he kissed me and said "we are both frogs now."

"Nope, you are a prince now and you should thank me." I claimed "Froggie" i hugged him

He laughed and pulled me near his chest.

__________________________________

i still remember the first day i saw him at work, even though he didnt noticed me.

I was an intern in the architecture firm. As an intern i didnt gain much attention from my bosses. All i got is tons of hand drew drafts that needed to be draw into AutoCAD. I work form 9am to 5pm. i go home on time and didnt really have any strong relationship with any of my colleagues. I used to reject all of the dinner invitation with them and even movie section. I am too lazy to put in effort to social with them because I know, all i need is experience to build my resume. All I want is to be forgotten by everyone here after this 3 months of internship. Of coz there are some people that really annoyed me and feel like slapping her every morning when i see her. However, i ignored. ignorant is bliss.

After working for about a month. I saw a tall and lean man with short hair, glasses and pair of really shinny earrings walked into the office and ignored everyone. He talked to one of my colleague that most of the people in the company adores her even myself. he passed something to her and walked into a room that i always thought it's empty. i wonder who is he. I turned back and i saw the annoying women is laughing with the adorable girl. i bet they know him or maybe everyone in the office knows him except for me.

"Everyone, we have to do OT tonight." Said my manager.

Is not like we have a choice. However, today is my mother's birthday how could i miss it? What am i suppose to do?

_______________________________________

I manage to tell my manager i need to leave for few hours for some reason and will be back by 9pm. I walked into the meeting room and i saw everyone there. including the guy with shinny earring. I didnt really look at him. i was too lazy to do what im not suppose or appointed to do so. im tired. all i felt like doing at that moment is to shower and craw into my soft and comfy bed.

"Ahh.." My coffee cup has over filled with piping hot water. It hurt my hand.

"Woah!" He cried and quickly turn off the coffee machine "Are you okay?" He asked

It's the guy with shinny earrings, i thought.

"Hello?" He repeated

"Yea.. I am fine." I answered "Thank you"

"Are you sure? The water is boiling hot." He said calmly

"yea." I said and put my hand on the sink prepare to turn on the water

"Hey, dont do that." He cried and took some burn cream from the cupboard. "Use this."

"Is not right to expose your hand to water after you got burn."

"Oh, ok." I said i applied some of the burn cream on my hand

"Are you new here?" He said

"Not really Im here for about a month" just that you didnt notice me i thought.

"I didnt noticed you." He said and quickly added "I dont mean.."

"Is okay." I said and thought he actually looked kinda cool. I dont know what is it about but his shinny earrings suits him well.

"Nate." He said

"Huh?"

"My name"

"Elvina." I answered and walked out the pantry

She looks very special. huge eyes and fair skin. of coz she isnt hot but somehow, is attractive. is she the pretty new girl Jason cant talking about? he thought and have a sip of his coffee.

Everyone was laughing and joking in the meeting room. I guess this is how OT suppose to be like.

"Nate you are surprisingly quite." Said the adorable girl "Are you afraid of Elvina?"

"What are you talking about?" He said, raised his left eyebrow and joked "I am going to fire you."

"Im not afraid of you" She answered

"So how's the girl you are going after?" Asked a guy named Jason

"I dont know." He said "I have lost hope"

"Who is she?" Asked the annoying girl

"Some random girl works in the same building as us." Jason answered

He looks calm and fine. didnt seemed to be disturbed at all. "She is nothing special, is a kinda of feeling that attracted me."

" I wonder why did she rejected you." Said the adorable girl

"She didnt, she is holding me."

"Isnt it a kind way of rejection?" Said the annoying girl

"I dont know." He answered and continue doing whatever he was doing

_________________________________

After a few days.

"Hey why are you still here?" He asked

"Oh, i need to get everything done by today." I answered

"Why?" he asked "It's friday night, go have some fun"

"I wont be working anymore." I simply answered

"Why?" He asked

"Im an intern. today is my last day." I said

"Oh... So you will be start schooling soon?" He asked

"Not so soon, i will have another 2 months of holiday." I said and smiled

"Wao.. enjoying." He said and smiled

"Where are you studying?" He asked

"Brisbane." I answered

"Cool! I was there last month for our project."

"Oh really. "

"Let me help you."

"Is okay, im cool." I rejected his offer

"Neah, buy me supper and we will be cool." He simply said

"Actually i left 2 more and i will be done."

"Let me help" he insisted.

"Okay."

After that day, we start to text each other rapidly in a week.

"I just got home from work, it was a crazy night" he texted me

"It's 12am. must be crazy."

"Yea, how was your day? slacking at home?"

"Erm.. relaxing not so much on slacking."

"Lets have dinner tomorrow."

"Okay. Hey can i tell you something but you promise me not to tell anyone?"

"Sure."

"mmm.. Better not. i am afraid that i will regret"

"Tell me or else you will be really regret" he knows what is it about

"I think i like you." I replied his text without thinking

"Yer Grace, this is for you." Said the young boy from the stable

"Who was it from?" The duke asked the boy

"Oii not sure Yer Grace, it was a small boy. but it was too dark. Oii cant see." Said the boy "He said is urgent Yer grace."

"Very well, thank you." The duke answered.

He looked at the envelop and saw the seal of the family of Von Voltaire. Von Voltaire a well honored Austrian family. he heard of them the last time he visited his grandmother in Austria. He wonder what do they want from him.

"What is the matter my friend?" Asked George

"Mrs Von Voltaire has sent me a letter." He said "and it is urgent"

"Von Voltaire?" He was surprise

"I am afraid, Yes." He answered and read the letter and he face changed. he did not say a word to George but kept the letter into his pocket and walked into the ballroom.

_______________________

"Oh my, I cant wait to ride with his grace." Brigitta said to the maid while she was changing into her smart riding suit.

"I am sure his grace is very excited as well." Said the maid

"I hope so." She said with a smile

She walked into the stable and saw the duke was talking to the young boy who works in the stable.

"Good morning." She said shyly

"Morning Brigitta. You are punctual today." The duke teased

"I am always your grace." She said and blushed as if she remembered something "except for sometimes."

"Well well." The duke laughed. "I heard you are planing to ride Thunder the other day."

"Thunder?"

"The best horse in this stable"

"Oh yes." She said with her sparkling eyes and she suddenly remember she needs the devil's permission "May i?"

"I am not sure how good is your riding skill, but i suppose it should be fine since thunder is in a good mood today." He replied while patting the horse

"Thank you." She answered

"Since you have chosen my best horse, i shall go for my favorite horse then."

"Isn't thunder is your favorite since it's the best horse?" She asked

"Surprisingly, no." He answered and climbed up to a beautiful black stallion "My favorite is Dragonfly."

They went for a walk in the square. thunder was a white female horse. it was wild but it not difficult to control. according to the duke it was much more difficult to control when it mood was bad. However dragonfly is always calm and soft. sometimes it might be a little playful. she can see why is dragonfly the duke's favorite.

After riding the duke invited her for breakfast at one of the cafe in the city. This was her first time having breakfast in such a beautiful cafe. The pastries were great. she cant explained how much she enjoyed.

"Brigitta, do you have any relative that is still alive?" He asked "Forgive me but.."

"Is fine your grace. Yes, i suppose my relatives in Austria is still.. alive." She cant find a better word to describe either

"Are they the Von Voltaire?" He asked

"Yes your grace."

"Last night your aunt send me an urgent letter. they demand you to stay with them." He said and looked deep into Brigitta's eyes "What do you think?"

"Oh no your grace. please i promise i will get married as soon as possible. I dont want to go back to Vienna, to the Von Voltaire mansion"

"Is fine Brigitta, you can stay with me as long as you want. I am your guardian after all, there is nothing much they can do about. You dont need to rush your self to get married."

"Thank you your grace." She said quietly

"May i ask why are you so afraid of going back to the Von Voltaire?"

"Please dont ask me your grace. Before your lawyer claimed me back to your castle after my father passed away. I was looked after by them and it was a disaster."

"Yet, you ran away from me"

"Someone told me, you forgotten about me." She said softly "I thought if i don't run away i shall turned in to a old unwanted granny in the castle."

"I am sorry Brigitta." He said

___________________________________

"Good day your grace" Said Mr Rubin "Mrs Von Voltaire is here. she is waiting for you in your study."

"What is she doing here?" He asked

"She demanded to see you right after you went riding with Ms Brigitta"

"Do not tell Brigitta about this. I will talk to her later."

"Very well, your grace"

He walked into his study and saw a well dressed middle aged women was waiting for him

"May i help you Mrs Von Voltaire?" He asked

"Did you or did you not receive my letter your grace." She asked sharply with German accent

"I did and i have talked to Brigitta." He said "She doesnt want to return to Vienna."

"She is just a child, what do she know about? After all, We are her family." She said "And you are just a stranger."

"I am her guardian Mrs Von Voltaire I dont mean to be rude but i am legally own Brigitta" He added "if you want me to put it in this way."

"her grandmother is asking for her granddaughter and you must have know how old is my mother." She lied

"From what i heard, her grandmother has passed away." He actually attended the ceremony.

"You..."

"Now, may you excuse me. I have lots of work to do." He said "Mr Rubin please prepared a carriage for Mrs Von Voltaire." He said and opened the door of his studies

Why are they demanding for Brigitta? Is it about the money or something else? Why is Brigitta running away from them? arent they her family? Why would she rather stay with him, a stranger. He asked himself. and Brigitta walked in.

"They came to claimed me." She asked "Didn't they? I saw my aunt just now"

"in a matter of fact, they did." He said and look at Brigitta

"I shall return to Vienna." She said "I don't want to cause you any trouble your grace. You have been very nice to me. and i am grateful." She rose from the chair she stood "I will leave tomorrow morning."

"Brigitta, sit." He ordered "i need to know what is happening"

"No you wouldn't want to." She said and ran up to her room.

_______________________________

She locked herself for hours.

"Brigitta, please unlock this damned door and let me in." Said the duke

There was no answer. he suddenly remember how good was her escaping skill. He kicked off the door and noticed she was gone.

"Oh, Brigitta" He sat on her bed and whispered and laughed dryly.

How idiotic was he not noticing she might run away again. He shall leave all his work behind and leave for Vienna tomorrow morning. how is he suppose to have a good night sleep when he doesn't even know is she safe.

"Your Grace?" Asked the maid that used to serve Brigitta

"She is gone." he said

"What?"

"Yes, she is gone and i shall find her tomorrow." He said and "Or perhaps i should go now." He rose and walked out the room

"Mr Rubin i am going to Vienna now. immediately." He said while walking down the stairs

"Very well, your grace." He said "Do you need me to go along?"

"No, i can go on my own." He said "I might be there for one or two weeks"

oh Brigitta when are you going to stop escaping from me? he asked himself.

_______________________________________

She has been here for a week. She know that the duke wouldn't bother to look for her. However, she can't explain how much does she miss him. He was one of the most dashing man she has ever meet. His smile and captivating dark eyes.

"brigitta, you are well aware that tomorrow is the ball for Maria's 16 birthday." She said "I expect the dress should be done by tomorrow."

"But aunt, i dont even know how to sew."

"Figure it out by your self." She said and walked out the tiny little dirty bedroom

She was back here and her aunt planned to married her to a half died old man. She thought it would be fine since he is dying so soon. she didnt care much except for praying the duke will be happy and hope that he will believe in love again.

She has a hobby. she used to draw out every dresses she hopes to own. she used to design tons of dress after look at the dress in the magazines while she was in the duke place. Since he is so rich, she is able to own almost every dress she drew. the other day she was drawing and her cousin Maria saw it. She demanded for the dress and the tailors in Vienna cant make it on time because it requires lot of time to put on the little details. Then her aunt ordered her to make it.

She was so worried. she cant even sew. what is she suppose to do? she cant be sitting down crying. she should start working. "Oh papa, i know you heard me, please help me" She pray in her heart.

It has been mid night. she still can sew a nice based for the dress. she didn't know what to do. she sat on the floor and her tears eventually rolled out. She heard someone knocked her window and she ignore it she thought it will be some wild animals and again she heard it. she open her curtain and she saw a familiar face. it was the duke!

She quickly open the window "What are you doing here your grace?"

he did not speak but hugged her tightly "How could you run away from me again? How dare you?"

"I didn't want to trouble you.." She said quietly

"It took me a week to figure out where is the Von Voltaire mansion." He whispered "Why is it so secretive my dear?"

"I cant tell you now. I am in an emergency." She said and stared at the drawing she did and the horrible dress based

"What is this?" he took the white based and look at it.

"Oh no please don't laugh. it suppose to be the based of this dress" She showed him her drawing

"And you drew this?" he asked and thought how talented was her

"Yes."

"Well, well." He said "Lets escape and we dont need to figure this silly thing out."

"Oh no.. I cant." She said "i have an engagement"

"With who!?"

"An half -dead old man."

"And who gave you the permission?" He asked

"My.. my.. family.." She said quietly

"I shall figure this out with you and i will leave before the sky turn bright." he said "And i will see you tomorrow as a guardian." He said

"Will you canceled the horrible engagement and .. and..."

"And whatever you asked for."

"Oh thank you so much." She said and hugged him "I pray everyday, hope that you will be happy."

"Did you pray to see me again?"

"Oh no.. I am afraid his lord will think that I am too greedy."

"Oh Brigitta, please dont run away again." He said "You horrified me. I am afraid you might be in danger or you might be snatched like the first time i met you." He kissed his forehead.

"Oh no.. i will not run away from you again." She said "I shall never."

to be continue.... feedback ar.. kinda dunno how to continue it adee...=)

"Good day Miss Brigitta." Said the boy who works in the stable

"Good day." she answered

"What can i do for ye miss?"

"I am looking for a challenging horse."

"Com with me." the young boy said and bought her inside to the stable and they saw the duke was inside petting his horse.

"Good day ye grace." the young boy said

"What are you doing here?" the duke asked Brigitta

"I though of riding your grace." She said "I heard you have your finest horse is in London."

"Yes, riding but shouldn't you be preparing for the party tonight?" He questioned curiously

she walked a few steps inner to the stable and said softly "i am nervous. I am afraid that i too old."

"Brigitta, look at me." he said "There is no such thing as too old. you look lovely just like your mother. You will be a success my dear."

"You seen my mother before?" she asked in surprise "How do you think she look like? Is she very much like me?"

"Well, i never met her before, but that's what your father told me." He said "Well, that's not important at all Brigitta. what we should concern now is who shall you be married to. i would love to find you someone who can manage the large sum of money your father left you and love you forever." he said and thought love will never last forever, if it will he wouldnt be staying overnight at so many married women's place. he laughed dryly.

"My mother was very much like me, and this was why my father used to look at me as if i was her sometimes." she said sadly

"Dearest, i think you should be getting ready now. go to your room and be the prettiest young lady in the party." he said "perhaps you can join me for riding tomorrow morning. and the finest horse is in the country not here."

"Oh that's lovely, for sure join you tomorrow your grace. thank you for inviting me." she said and ran into the mansion

_______________________________

"May i invite you for a dance?" A young man asked Brigitta

"Yes, of coz." She answered

"My name is Gabriel, my father is Sir Thomson Lee"

"Nice to meet you Gabriel." She said and smile.

she felt some where something not right about this young man. his smile and action looked awkward to her. He doesn't looked like happy or perhaps he was force to dance with her.

"Thank you it was a wonderful dance." She said and walked to the garden

The parties and attention she wanted all time is not like what she thought it would be after all. Her mother was an Austrian. Her mother used to tell her how wonderful is the balls and parties while she was in Vienna. Her mother was from a well hounded family in Austria, She was raised in Vienna until her father was asked to on duty in India. her father send her back to the country so that she will be well looked after y her grandmother which passed away 3 years ago.

The duke saw her and he cleared his throat "Why are you here?" He asked

"I though of getting some fresh air your grace." She answered and rose from the stone she sat

"No.. sit.." He said "Please.. sit." He said and sat on the stoned bench she was sitting.

"Are you not enjoying the party? I saw a few gentlemen invited you for a dance. and if i werent mistaken the son of Sir Thomson invited you twice."

"Yes, he did." She answered

"He must be interested in you."

"Perhaps he is." She answered quietly and looked inside the ballroom. "It is Landler, the Austrian folk dance."

"I didnt know you know that." he said

"Oh.. of coz i do, my mother was an Austrian."

"What a coincident, my mother was an Austrian as well." He said and he rose "May I?" He invited her for a dance in the garden

"I dont know if i still remember it.... but yes."

"Oh im sorry." She stepped on his foot. "I dont.. really remember the steps..'

"is okay." He smiled and they continue the dance

"Here you are." A man said

"Oh.. hi George." The duke said and stopped the dance

"This must be Brigitta." Said George "Why are you here?"

"I thought of getting some fresh air." She said "I am going to join the party again." She said and smiled

"And what are you doing here?" He asked the duke

"fresh air as well.,,, i suppose" He simply answered

"Fresh air? this is not funny my friend." George mocked

"I am tired of being under the spot light. since this is a party for Brigitta, I shouldn't be the one who is stealing her thunder." He said

"How thoughtful of you."

"As always" said the duke

She turned and wanted to run and the train started to moved. her brain was working really hard should she escape or stay? but if she were to escape where should she go? she cant jump off the train, it will hurt herself and she will need a doctor and she will need money.

"Brigitta, if i were you, i will just sit down and enjoy this beautiful cabin, instead of having all the silly thoughts." the duke said "jumping off the train is certainty not a very good idea and as a guardian i do not wish you to do that." he said and poured himself a glass of champaign. "Mr Rubin, Miss Brigitta is going to stay with me in this cabin, i will fetch you when you are needed. thank you."

she turn to him and stare at him. there was a sight with a mixture of anger and fear. she was so lost, she didnt know what should she do.

"Sit" He commanded

she obey him and sat down in a conner that is near to the cabin door. She thought that it will be easier for her to escape if anything happened.

"Why are you still having the silly thoughts?" He asked

"What thought are you referring to... Sir.."

"Escaping." He said and smiled "There is no way for you to run until we reached London. i am quite certain that it will be a fairly long journey please make yourself comfortable"

"I will throw you a ball and parties." He said "I apologize for my absence in these years."

"You forgot about me. didnt you?" she asked quietly

"I afraid i have to said yes. and im extermly sorry about that." He said after a deep breath "As you know im very busy with my career in India... I am really sorry Brigitta." he missed something he thought. he was in France for the last two weeks with his mistress.

"The maids told me you were in France a few weeks." She said quietly

"I am sorry.. whhhat did you just say?"

"You were with your French mistress in France." She made it even clearer

"Ohh...The maids told you that?" He asked

"yes, sir."

"How.."

"How do they know? they know a lot about you sir." she said with a disgusted sight "they even knew that you stay over at Mrs Watson place while her husband was away."

"Umhp.." He was shocked and coughed instantly.

"Piece of advise sir, if you dont want anyone to know about it. dont do it." She said and shut her eyes to rest.

This is what always happened in the society. Beauties asked for attention from some handsome and successful man besides their own husband. Is very common, however he wouldnt like Brigitta to know all of this.
_____________________________________

London, the busy streets, cars, carriages, ladies with beautiful dress and men with smart suits. Brigitta was so fascinated and cant stop herself from instant putting her head out of the window.

"Brigitta, i suggest you to sit down, everyone is staring at you. is indecent." Said the duke

"Yes, sir." She replied and sat down decently

"Mr Rubin, please inform everyone that im throwing a party at my mansion tonight for Brigitta the daughter of Earl of Derby"

"Very well, your grace."

"and Brigitta, when you are referring to people like me, a duke, you dont use the word Sir but Your Grace." He said "And i want you to remember that. in a matter of fact you actually have to remember that."

"Mr Rubin please do send Brigitta some grown for the party tonight." He said "brigitta this is a small party to introduce you to the social world, and i will have a Ball when you are ready. got me?"

"Yes, si.. Your Grace."

"Very well." he answered "the first thing you are expected to do is to changed your toned grown into a a new grown and join me for luncheon."

"yes, You Grace." she said and she thought "what else can i do expect for obeying? what a devil."

"Brigitta, do not fall for someone easily. you are well aware that your dad has left a huge fortune of money for you. there are fortune hunters that looks like a rich decent man out there. I am not asking you to but i ant you to tell me, who you laid your eyes on and you need my permission to see anyone. understood?"

"I understand, your grace." devil.. devil.. devil...

they have arrived the mansion. Is not as huge as the one in the country, however is looks expensive.

"Brigitta listen to me and obey my orders." he said "You dont know what is good for you. you are too young to know." he said and walked up to his room.

the maid walked her to her room. she open the curtains and she saw Warwick square and the beauties and gentlemen walking around. Oh.. she is in love with London, she thought.

"Miss Brigitta, his grace asked you to take a quick bath and join him in the garden for lunch."

"Very well." orders! obey! what is wrong with him? Im not his armies in India.

______________________________

"Finally you are here." He said "I hope to hear a valid reason for your fashionable timing."

"Your grace, you did not state what time should i be here. what you have told me was to have a quick bath and join yo for lunch." She said "So im not late."

"Young lady, this is not the right way to talk to me. even if im not your guardian i am still someone with a social status."

"..." she really hoped that she can pour the lemonade on his face. he is so annoying.

"I hope you will enjoy the party tonight." He said

"certainly, your grace."

"Brigitta, your dad has given me a position that i am force to be firm to you. i hope you understand. im not a devil like you thought. However, you are far too young to realized what is right and wrong." He said and stared at her with his dark eyes.

His has a lot of secret in his eyes. she can feel it. and it's so attractive. she has to admit he has a handsome face and she can easily tell why is everyone so crazy about him.

"Brigitta!" He cried

"Yes? your.. grace?"

"Why are you staring at me?" he asked

"No.. i thought you have a pair of beautiful eyes."

"Thank you." he said "please also do remember im your guardian." he is making it very clear to her that do not fall in love with him.

____________________________

However, love is simply unpredictable. do the duke can really stop Brigitta if she is really in love?
stay tune! =)

Feedback. should i continue it?

when we meet again....

2010-03-01T15:24:00.007+08:00

I always thought that he will be the one who leaves me, but i was wrong. things changed when i left my comfort zone to chase my dream.

do you remember the story of who moved my cheese? there were 2 mice in a closed down supermarket, one ran out to look for a new supermarket. On the other hand, the other one stayed waiting for the supermarket to reopen. Both of them got what they wanted but they were separated forever. I am the one who ran out to look for a new opportunity yet he stayed, I am Emily Watson.

We thought we could manager the long distance relationship since both of us are loyal people and there are so many successful long distance relationship between both of us. Yet, we were both wrong.we only manage to maintain it for 1 week. I told him i felt insecure, i hope to have a short break, if were still single for 5 years we will be together again. he was mad at me, and we didnt contact each other anymore. he didnt know how many i cried when he did not reply my text message, how unsecured i felt. everytime, everyday i will think did he be with me because i was the only available one since the one he liked rejected him? i dare not voice out my dislike, i am afraid he might leave me yet at the end of the day i was the one who asked for separation.

I loved him more than anything else, i once told him, if both of us were drown in the ocean, i will throw my safety ring to him. it has been 10 years since we separated. He was married and divorced with a son.

Well, i wasnt too far from him, i am getting married soon. My boyfriend was my boss in New York. We have been in a relationship for 2 years and we decided to move on to another stage. I thought i have erase him from my memory until the day i saw him at the cafe.

I was walking at Manhattan preparing for my wedding, i look into the cafe and i saw familiar back. i couldnt believe what i saw because he never step into a coffee house without me. he used to tell me he doesnt know what to order. when i was still in college, i was a part time bar tender, i was very familiar with drinks, so he is very much depend on me. i though he will never visit the coffee house anymore but i was wrong again. who am i? im just one of his ex, why wouldnt he visit the cafe without me? I laughed at my self and thought of continue my walking but i noticed he stared at me. i couldnt care less, i walked away. maybe i was angry, how could he live without me.

* * * * *

i saw her, reminds me of my days when i just stepped out to the society. i loved her more then anything else, i was so prepared to wait and married her when she is back. she found someone better and simply said that she felt insecure. everyone told me she is going to leave me when she expose to better men, but i told them we are going to be together. i was wrong.

do you remember the movie by Marilyn Monroe? diamonds are girls best friends? at that time i was certainly not what she need, not what she expect, i was just a poor businessman, im Thomas Elliot.

i thought is so easy to erase her from my memory but i failed myself when i saw her i noticed, i miss her. i denied but deep inside i know i miss her a lot. she was a spoiled princess. she changed a lot of me or like what she always said she didnt not changed me just activated the evil sides of mine.

"daddy, im sleepy." a little boy walked to me, he is son.

"go to bed then." i told him and i turned off my laptop

"daddy, this is so cool!" he took a metal box from my study table. it was a present from her. it suppose to be a box for my watch and i used it for my coins and eventually, i forgot it was from her.

"it has been here for awhile. i cant believe you did not notice it." i mocked my son

"i asked mummy once and she wanted to throw it away and i stopped her. she told me not to ask you about this box." he said "since she is not here now, so i asked. daddy can i have it? i love it."

"I will think about it if you are a good boy. but certainly there is no promise."

"daddy you are a cheater" he said and point at my nose

i dont know why did i say that. why cant i give the box to my son? i cant answer myself.

* * * * *

i turn off my old sony ericsson phone, i saw some saved text messages he sent to me. i miss him so much, my teared rolled down so naturally. he is such a bastard. how could he still live inside me when he was married and divorce? i found someone so much better, but why? why am i still thinking of him?

i tried to sms him, i wrote:

i miss you.

it has been so many years he must have changed his phone number. im such an idiot. there was a click sound i knew it will be my boyfriend asking me did i have my dinner yet, i ignored it and walked out my apartment.

vote for the ending you like:

A. The text message was from him written "Silly girl..."

B. The text message was from her boyfriend asking about her dinner

C. The text message was from him written "Get married and stay happy."

D. The text message was from him written "Do you know what are you doing?"

i voted for A! how about you? comment!!! i will continue after the vote. =D

p/s: im totally fine, i saw momoko's fb status and thought of it.. it might be a little about me but this is what made a tzen's story complete right? with my shadow in it. =D

is okay.

"do i look like i dont care about you?" he sounded annoyed and exhausted with his driving wheels on his hands.

"No.." i answered softly and trying hard to avoid my tears tumbling down.

"If there is anything, you better have tell it now, i am buggered." He said "I am tired of going home answering your text messages."

I am a bad talker. i found it very difficult to voice things out, i rather write it out. that's our problem. he always prefer i voice it out and he can answer me with our mother tongue, but he never know everytime when i start voicing it out, he will misunderstood me.

I was silent and all i wanted is to get home as soon as possible but the traffic was terrible.
____________________________________

it was a saddening morning. my room was cold and dark, as if i was inside a huge chiller. i opened up my eyes and i started to cry with or without a reason.

i was under depression, my family was giving me pressure and my father nearly had an affair with someone he shouldnt even thought of. the image of a role model has changed. i feel uneasy, disgusted everytime i look at him. my mother was facing a serious financial problem that i cant even help.

after a little moment of crying, i got my self back together. i grab my cellphone that was right beside me and i saw a text message from him. it was just a very normal text message telling me good morning, that he is leaving to some other state for his job and will be back by night. we exchanged text msg and made cried even more. i eventually fall asleep till late noon after half an hour of crying.

i finally woke up and started to express my feeling to my best friend and i noticed how nice to pour everything out at once. getting console from her is one of the best damn thing, she just know what to do to makes me feel better.

i told her i decided to set him free from me, i am not the happy girl he met at first and i might not able to be as happy again. besides i am leaving my home country for my education. long distance relationship hardly success, although i have really great examples of LDR around me but i know it might not work on me, a relationship that was still so young and immature. we have been together for not even 6 months, and i have lost counts on our arguments, what will happen when LDR occurs? i cant imagine.

i told myself, i will talk to him when the next time i meet him.

i turned on my messenger and he send me a message. i simply replied him just to keep him entertained. unfortunately he noticed it. i got a lame reason lying to him that i was on the phone. and i told him what happened hours ago, that i cant get to the travel agent that sell me the air tickets. he told me he felt that i having problems and im not willing to share, i wasnt happy as before. he told me he is afraid that im going to leave him. i felt very bad, he shouldnt be trapped with someone like me. im under depression but why must he suffers like me? this has made me feel like letting him go is totally the right thing to do. i cant be so selfish keeping him with me, an unhappy girl.

he called me, i used a tiny pillow besides me to cover my phone, i didnt want to answer. i acted like nth happened, i send him a msg thur msn asking him is he thr, why aint he answering my msgs. after awhile he get bk to me told me he went for a smoke and tried to call me. again i lied i told him

"my phone was charging in my room"

"Is ok." he answered

"Are you having over time tonight?"

"Yes."

i turn off my laptop and went to my room. i counldnt cry anymore, perhaps my tears have all dried up. i fall asleep again.
_______________________________

i woke up by a text message he sent me thur my phone asking me for a movie tonight. i thought it might be a chance and i really dying to watch the movie too. i accepted the invitation.

i delayed a little as usual even knowing that he was waiting outside of my house. i was asking my sister about direction of getting to the new shopping mall that we will b going later without noticing that he havent had his dinner yet and it's already 9pm.

i showed the wrong direction, i wanted to call my sister but he told me is not a need, we can go somewhr else. i put my cell back into my handbag. i feel how useless am i, i cant even act well in the last date i wanted to cry again but i didnt. and i told myself, is ok, this is the last time of being useless.

i dont know how we ended up in the place we wanna go. he told me we should try our luck see if we could get any tickets. i told better if we go dinner. i was full but i know he was starving and empty. he told me is ok, he can always grab in some cinema's food like hotdogs and etc. when we reached thr, i offered to get the tickets so he got 10 minutes to get his food. i got my tickets and i him with his bloody heavy laptop on his back lining up in subway.

i asked myself, what else should i ask more from him? he was trying his very best to satisfied me. why cant i just be satisfied? he woke up at 7am for work travel from states to states, and had over time in his office yet he still travel all the way to my places from his office just to make me happy. there is a 30 minutes distance from his office to my place. and we went to the wrong road but he didnt not complain at all. i used to think he doesnt even love me, if he does he is just using the wrong way and it's not my way. how could i say something as selfish as this? i didnt satisfied on anything, i was always selfish. all i know was to complain. telling myself how unkind was god to do something like that to me. i shouldnt have told him i like him first now he is not appreciating me because im so easy. but i was wrong. i took everything for granted because he spoilt me and i was used to it by being the youngest in the family so i thought nothing was wrong.

on the way home we were silent. i didnt want to talk, im afraid that i will asked the wrong question again, i afraid i will give him the wrong reaction again. he asked me why am i so sad but he didnt know i was warmed by him just i was really afraid of making mistake and upset him again. he hold my hand with his ice cold left hand while he was driving and he yawned. my heart was tighten, he has eventually became my everything, part of me. his emotion actually affect me. i cant imagine how would my life be without him.

i looked out the window to allow my tears to roll down without him noticing. how on earth will i deserve such a good guy like him? was it a wrong pair? if karma does exist, i have must done a lots of good things in my previous life.

p/s : i shall just stop all of my stupid thoughts and love him. i promise myself to be happy everyday just for him. =)

"How dare he trapped me here!? he is a devil!" she asked the servant who is changing her clothes.

"Oh no miss. how could you said that Miss Brigitta? after all the duke is still in Indian at the moment." the servant answered quietly and left the room.

"I am going to escape from this terrible place. first of all i need a plan." She thought and she looked around. "I need something that able the run around easily and able me to climb over the huge wall of the castle." she opened up her wardrobe and found a simple dress. she simply packed a feel dresses with her and a novel that she was half way reading. after packing everything she doubled checked it and pushed her luggage under her bed.

"Margaret." She cried and a servant came in "Please inform Mr. Kurt that i need something for the ball next week. If he wouldnt mind he could give me a cheque and i will settle is by myself." Mr Kurt is the lawyer he assigned to fulfills her need while the devil isnt around. "Go now, it's urgent." She repeated

"Yes, Miss." The old servant answered and walked out the room

______________________________________________

"London" She whispered to herself while looking at her train ticket and she smiled happily. "Arh....Help...!" She cried and ran to the man who snatched her train ticket. "Stop.. I say stop at once!" She cried while chasing the man. "return my ticket to me! that all i left! Stop there!"

"Arhh....!" She cried again she knocked on a gentlemen. "im so sorry, im in a hurry...." She wanted to run however the gentlemen hold her arm.

"A young lady like you shouldnt be running around the train station without any grace." The man said

"My..my.. ticket....!" She cried and saw the thief jumped up the train.

"Stop yelling." He ordered

"Do I know you sir?" She asked in a very rude tone

"No." He simply answered

"And why are you stopping me sir?" She asked again and had a clear look of him. He is attractive, he is about 30 she thought. his dark eyes captured her.

He couldnt find an answer he just doesnt like the way she act as a young lady. So, he cleared his throat.

"Sir, the ticket was what i left. I couldnt afford another ticket to London." She said and scooted down.

"Your grace.." A middle aged man whispered "We are about to leave"

"Get her another ticket." The man said and wanted to walked away

"Stop." She said "Where do you think you are going!?" She asked

"I have asked my footman to get you another ticket to London." He answered

"You ought to do that." She said with tears on her cheeks "But.."

He raised his eyebrows when the word "but" came out from her mouth

"But, you shall pay for your unnecessary act." She said

"Well, perhaps you should tell me how can i repay you lost."

"I need 2 months of free accommodation in London, and a closet of beautiful dresses from Paris for my parties and balls. "

"Are you out of your mind?" He said gently adjusting the glove on his right hand

"No. i suppose what im asking for means nothing to you, but a lot to me." She answered

"Why should i pay for your accommodation and dresses?" He asked

"Dresses from Paris. A closet of it." She corrected him

"Yes but and i dont even know who are you." he stared at her. A fairly young girl with a long black hair, a dark blue eyes and a very pale skin. he wont deny that she will be a success in London if she got what she asked from him.

"Who am i is not important, Sir. All you have to know is because of you sir, i missed my train."

"Very well, Mr. Rubin help her on her luggage, she is coming with me." He said

"But your grace..."

"Listen to me." He said

_________________________________

The cabin was very beautiful and grand. she suppose he is not just a rich man, he is somebody like him. she must not tell who is she to him otherwise he might send her back to the horrible place she ran out from.

"Im the Duke of Kent." He said after a sip of champagne "I want to know who are you." he started at her

"I told you..."

"Is not important?" He asked before she could finished her line

"Yes." She answered quietly

"No, im planing to settle you down in the villa i owned in London." He said

"Are you trying to say that im going to stay with you?" She asked

"Yes."

"I cant tell you who am I." She said "Forgive me."

"Form the material of your dress i could tell you are from a fairly rich family. why are you alone? is not right for a young lady like you to travel alone."

"I ran away from the horrible place." She said "They locked up there after papa died."

"So im right.. go on please, i wouldnt want to stay with a stranger."

"My father was an Earl. He passed away and assigned a devil to be my guardian." She said slowly "However the devil is always in india, perhaps the old man had already forget about me. I have stayed there for 2 years, all he did was sending me cheques. I am 19 now, yet im still alone."

"You were neglected and you missed the parties and balls when you are 17?" He asked

"Yes." She nodded.

He was silent. he was thinking about the child of his late friend. how old is her? he better make sure that she did not miss the balls and parties like this young lady. what a pity.

"it would be great if you could tell me who is your guardian?" He asked "I promise i will not send you back"

"I dont know." She said "if i have known, i wont be here alone. i suppose he shouldn't be young since he is a friend of papa."

"What a shame." He said "What's the lawyer's name?" He asked again

"Edison Ku..." She wanted to tell but she stopped

"What's wrong?" He asked

"Why should i believe you?" She asked

"Because you are going to stay with me?" Why shouldn't she believe him?

"Your Grace, you got a telegram from the country." Mr. Rubin walked into the cabin and said

he handed over the telegram "She ran away, wait..." He thought and he stared at Brigitta

"Since you ran away, where did you get the money for yout ticket?" He asked

"I told the lawyer i need money for the ball my friend invited me to, and it will be better if he could give me the cheque."

"How did you ran out of the place you stayed?" he asked again

"I climb over the walls and took a bus here." She said while looking out the window without noticing the changes in his expression "Oh my god! the train is moving...." She cried

"Brigitta " He said and smile

"Yes?" Oh no! how did he knows her name!? she looked at his eyes.

"I suppose im the devil you were talking about." He said and laughed

So what that we are different? chp 17

After working in the hospital for more than five years, he has never been so afraid of going to work before. Everyday, every minutes he and his working buddies try to save as much life as possible, but of coz when it comes to board meeting, people from the account department will crack all the honest and Innocent doctors up.

"I got a suggestion" said a man with a glasses "we should not admit nor treat anyone before they pay 50% of their total sum. Even is an emergency"

"You mean we need to calculate everything while the guy is dying and also preparing all the documents?" Asked Ivan "Not to forget to generate the bill!" He hit the table lightly to show his anger

"Doctor Ivan, i believe your patient are able to wait for 10 minutes since you are a psychiatrist." The man with glasses said sharply

"I am just making a statement!" Cried Ivan

"I think you dont get my point here. Do you know how many of them ran away without paying!?" The man said "How much do you want us to lost? or i have an idea why not, we just deduct all the lost from your income!?"

"I disagree!" Said the senior resident in the hospital "We are fighting for life eveyday, but you people are relaxing or looking at the numbers in your air-corned office. Do you know how many of them need us? do you know how many of them were dying yesterday? do you know 2 minutes late for a surgery might be able to kill someone? and you are aking us to wait for the 10 minutes of process? not to mention those who got into an accident and not able to contact their families and friends!" He was so pissed he stood up from his chair and threw the file towards to account manager

"Doctors! Do you know how lucky to have us here? We do everything that you dont know! People from the medical field never learn how to manage their finance." the accountant mocked

"I not going to buy this or listen to all this crap from you accountants. Any idiot who good in math can be you. Obviously we doctors and surgeons are smarter." One of the young surgeon argued

"Gentleman, calm down." The chairman of the hospital said "We are here to think of a solution. not to compare who is smarter. Issac, what do you think?"

"Sorry, pardon please?" He was thinking about what happened this morning, yes Tiffany

"How to solve the problem"

"Money" David whispered

"Oh.." He cleared his throat "How about erm.." damned he cant think of anything

"I dont care what do Issac think because i pretty sure he will be with us as in the people from the medical field. We will never accept your stupid, money minded, meaningless and this is just like you brainless idea!" the senior resident pointed his finger on the account manager and walked out the meeting room.

"Did you drifted to your sweet Tif just now?" asked david

"What was she doing there!?" He asked

"Obviously she was working."

"I thought she.. gosh!" she was upset with him the last time, didnt she?

___________________________________

"Lunch, lunch, lunch!" Said Ivan

"This is when you will turn up" Mocked David

"Let's go to starbucks!" Said Ivan and looked at David

"Maybe we should not. it will be very sardine pack now" Issac said

"No, is ok." said David

"I thought you guys just had it this morning?" He asked

"I was hungry this morning!?" tested Ivan

"Come on! why are you afraid of a college girl and she was surprisingly brave!?"

"No, im not prepared yet." he said

_____________________________________

"Tif, did you heat up the Tuna finger sandwich the lady ordered?" A young man asked

"I have delivered it to her." She answered "Omg finally the peak hour is over."

"Yea, later is peak hour for washing dishes and cups." He replied

"True" She said "Hey I wanna buy a Hot Venti Latte, how should i key it in?" She asked

"Key in? Buy? Forget it. since the manager is not here why dont you just make one and drink it?"

"Smart!" She said

She made the coffee "Hey, leaving now. kay? and i took a chicken finger, i have key in that"

"Sure." He answered

While she was in the lift she thought what did David told her while he was waiting for his coffee during lunch hour

"Where's Issac?"

"There was an emergency, he is in the operation room"

"Oh I see"

"yea, here's a tip for you. He will not have a minute to have lunch, if possible send him a cup of coffee"

The lift have reached the floor of Issac's office she walked out and walked to his office She knocked his door however. there's no replied. She opened the wooden door and noticed he wasnt in his room. She left the coffee and the sandwich on his table and he walked in

"Hey.." She was stunned "got to go home now. bye." She said

She didnt not wait for his reply and wanted to walk out of the room. How can she be that brave in the morning and chicken out at this very moment? why cant she just tell him those were for him!?

"Tiffany, wait." He cried and walked to her

She stopped but she did not turn back "yes?"

"Thank you." He said and hold her hands "I know what are you thinking. i dont know what should i do with this relationship."

"I.." She didnt know what to say

He turned her to him and lightly kissed her forehead

"Doctor Issac, there's an emergency!" A nurse rushed into his room without knocking

So what that we are different? chp 16

2009-09-06T23:57:00.003+08:00

"Issac!" Cried Ivan

"Sorry.. i was.."

"Drifting?" Asked the chief resident

"Mind your words, Doctor." said David "shall i refer you as newbie!?"

"sorry." Said a young man "Actually i need your advise."

"Who?" Asked Ivan

"Doctor Issac."

"What can i do for you?" asked Issac

"my resident has a young patient which is incredibly hot.."

"Main point."

"She was complaining about her gastric problem, however, we have ran though all the scan and scope and etc. "

"Nothing?"

"No. and guess what?" he said happily

"Im not interested in your guess what. but.. send all her report to my office and see at 4pm."

"But..."

"No but and get lost." Ivan said calmly with a cup of coffee on his hand

"So what is wrong with you?" Asked david

"I dont know.." He said "I dream of .." Tiffany. but how could he said that out?

"What?"

"I got married with Melissa." He lied

"God damned it." Said Ivan "not interested. i better check out how hot is the patient of newbie."

"Wait for me!" said David and both of them walked away.

___________________________________

"Tif, there are fire on your apron!" Cried the sous chef and pour a bucket of water on her

"Omg! thank you." She said

"What the hell is wrong with you!? this is a kitchen not a spa that allowed to drift away to your neverland! can you imagine how dangerous was that if he didnt noticed it?" Cried the head chef

"Im sorry." She apologized.

"Tif, what is wrong with you?" the floor manager asked

"I...I.."

"No I! before the day start, take a leave. rest for a day. the restaurant wont closed down, a day without you." said the head chef

"I.."

"Go.." The head chef repeated
_________________________________

"Terrius, we need to talk." Tiffany said on the phone

"About what?" He asked on the other side of the phone

"There's a lot of things happening these days. i dont know how to put everything into words.." She said while looking at a dark blue flash drive. she know that everything is still in her mind. no, she did not move on. how much she wish that Issac is here. But Issac is always Issac, Terrius is perfect but he cant be Issac

"Maybe we should talk about it during dinner?" He said

"can i ask you something?" She asked

"Yes."

"Do you know who is Sally?" She asked calmly

he was silent

"She came to me yesterday. there was something going on when you was in Japan." She said "I know it was before we are together."

"Im sorry. but.."

"I know.. i know..just that i cant accept all these even i already know who are you before we are together. I know that i should have expect all this and i thought i had. but i did not." She said and teared

"Listen, i really want to make this relationship work.." He said "But i was nothing good for so many years, you dont expect me to change immediately. I need some time"

She cant believe she did this. she was trying to put all the blame on him which she dont actually care. what's the big deal about his ex-lovers? she never care about it. is just that, she cant forget Issac.

"Im so evil." She said with tears

"What happened?" He asked. he was standing a 30 feet away from her, looking at her, but she never noticed.

"Im sorry, is not you. i was trying to put all the blame on you." She said "Who cares about your ex-lovers? they are just jealous because you are with me."

"Tif.."

"Actually, I need some time to.. omg this is hard.. i need to..need to.. forget someone. is unfair to you." she said "everything came too quickly and i cant manage to adapt. i wasnt ready for a relationship yet"

"is okay." he said softly "I understand, oh btw i will be returning to Japan on next week" he hang up the phone and turned to the other direction and walked away.

Maybe looking like a greek god doesnt mean he is able to get everything he wants. Love is unpredictable, is different from building a tower with all the accurate calculation and it will be stable. you cant calculate love, because there is no perfection in love.

________________________________

"Good Morning, sir what would you like to order?" Tiffany asked with a black polo-Tee, a green apron on her waist and a cap. Oh yes, she is now a baristas!

"Are you new?" A middle aged man asked

"First day working in this outlet." She answered

"Where did you work before?" He asked

"One of the starbucks outlets in Sydney." She said

"You can actually transfer oversea!?"

"Nope, i resigned there and applied here." She said cheerfully

"Oh i see."

"Here is your coffee of the day. The total is 5 dollars."

The man passed her the money and she said "have a nice day, enjoy your coffee!"

She doesnt care even the store manager told her not to be so cheerful in the hospital's outlet. but she doesnt care, she wants to look like a sun! Yes, she stopped one semester because she was too lost. she need to get her spirits back. She returned to her home country and she got a job in a hospital's starbuck's outlet. Steven, Momoko and Eliot wasnt happy with her decision. However they manage to respect her and Eliot promised her to stay away from drugs. Can he be trusted? no idea.

"Morning Doctor! what can i do for you?" She asked cheerfully

"Is 8 in the morning. im surprise that you can be that happy." Said a lady doctor

"because is nice to serve you." She answered

"How do you know that I am a doctor?" The lady asked

"I can see from your look even without your white robe." She answered and passed her coffee to her

"I like you." She said while handing over her coffee and walked away.

She cant believe how many people actually rush to their outlet since 7.45am. And most of them are doctors. Residents cant afford starbucks because the price of starbucks is just too crazy in her home country.

"Morning Sir David!" She said happily

"Oh my god! Tiffany, since when you are here!?" He asked

"Today is my first day!" She cried

"Im glad to see you here." and he passed two tumblers to her "Coffee of the day for the Taiwan tumbler and Mocha for the Thailand's"

"No problem."

When the clock hit 9am, the sales slowed down. because everyone is ready for work. except for a man walked in quickly with black suits, white shirt and trying to work on his dark grey tie but doesnt seems to work. he walked to the outlet.

"take away, Latte, hot, less sugar, Venti." He said and stoned when he saw Tiffany

"Morning doctor Issac, the total is 22 dollars." She said cheerfully, she is prepared.

"Hi.." He didnt know what to say and he can feel that she is prepared for this scene

"22 dollars please." She said as if she doesnt know him

"Oh.. sorry.." He took out his wallet and gave her 30.

"This is your change, your coffee will be here immediately." She said "And your tie is .. sorry but.. the shape is funny. or silly." She mocked

"I..." He was speechless, what is going on? why is she here!?

"Come.." She said and he obeyed her and go nearer. She worked on his tie nicely even there's a table in between them "I usually charge extra for this but today is on house for you." She whispered as if giving him a warning that there will be more coming up and she is well prepared.

"Thank.. you.." First time in his life he was speechless! His brain was blank! she just flirted! wthell!

Sorry for holding up this chapter for so long. but you cant imagine how long i worked on it. feedbacks as usual. thanks. actualy who do you prefer? Terrius or Issac!?

Let's see

2009-08-22T22:00:00.008+08:00

People were staring at her, her graceful way of walking, her beautiful and not to forget her limited edition handbag. she walked gracefully like a model walking on the stage to the coffee stand and ordered her coffee. she smiled while the baristas preparing her coffee. she gracefully and elegantly handed over the coffee and someone knocked her and pull her along with him.

"OMG!" She cried "help!! what's going!?" She was so worried and she notice the man was not pulling her hand but her limited edition handbag's handles! "Oh no!! let go!"She cried again "I said let go!!"

he ignored her and continue running as fast as he can

"I said let go!!! I will run with you! Let go!!!" She cried again and run as fast as him just to avoid loosen the handles or even afraid of the handles detached from the bag

"Arhh!" She cried

She fall on the ground and her handbag's handles were both broken! The man stopped threw her bag away and pull her hand and continue running

"Leave me alone!! My handbag!! My handbag!!!" She cried

after running for 5 minutes, he finally stopped. Eiffel tower was besides them but she didnt noticed that but looking at the both handles on her hands.

"You... you... bastard!" She cried "My limited edition handbag! do you know how much i paid for that!?" She asked "Not only paid for the bag but also the people, the wines! do yo know how much was it!?"

He didnt not answered her but bought 2 bottles of mineral water from the stall besides and passed a bottle to her.

"You..." She handed the water and drank half of it "You bloody fool! what do you want!? you threw my handbag away! omg! my LV card holder and my purse! you... you... son of a bitch! my handbag, my purse, my cardholder not to mention my blackberry!" she was so angry and she punched on his chest as hard as she can but he doesnt feel the pain at all.

He didnt say a word but sat down on a concrete sitter. and drink his mineral water calmly.

"Say something!" She walked to him and cried

He looked at her and he said "Send the bill to my office." he handed a name card to her

"Steven Young!?" She was stoned and she looked at him and finally she recognize is the famous photographer. She was stunned and stoned. Is him! the one that started off with his model career and turned into a famous photographer. Wait! but this doesnt mean he can do that to her!

"I dont care who are you! my handbag is limited edition. you did not only spoilt it but also threw it into the river. They only produced 5000 of these handbags and each one is handmade and different from each other! and not to mention there are only one is selling in France which is the one you threw into the river just now!" She said

He choked the water he was drinking. Did he just threw that fuc*ing handbag into the river!? Oh damned! what should he do!? damned! what should he do!?

While he was in deep thought another man walked over.

"Steven, i lost! damned how can you won again!?" The other man said

"What!?" Is a race!? Why did he pulled her along then?

"Oh what's up with this beautiful lady?" The other man asked

"I was running and i dont even know why did i pulled her along." Honestly, he doesnt know. god, save him.

"WHAT!?" She cried "You dont know!? and you spoilt my handbag and threw it into the river along with all my purse, cardholder, cellphone and etc!?"

"Look, it wasnt my fault." He try to get rid of responsible

"Are you crazy!?" She cried again

"You are looking like a mad women now." He said wanted to calm her down but

"Mad women!? You son of a bitch!" She was very angry "I want back my limited edition handbag and all the contacts in cell and.. and..." oh god, her channel lipsticks! damned.

"I am not going to pay you back." He cried "If you are unhappy about it, sue me." She cant charge him right? what limited edition? even his sister wants that he couldnt get it for her. even if he sells his kidney, he cant get it.

"What!? Sue you!?" Can she open a case like that!?

"I dare you to sue me!" He cried. damned.. what if she really sues him?

She was silent and he wanted to walked away and she pulled him

"Dont ever think of running away! I used more than 20k to get that bag! You dont go!!" She cried "Sue you? Im goin to kill you!" She grabbed the knife on the hotdog stall wanted to freak him out

"Dont.. cool down..." He was scared. what kinda crazy women was this!? "Steady..."

"I tell you, if you dont think of something i am going to kill you!" She cried

"Kill me!?" He cried

"Yes!"

"Help! Someone is dying here!" The girl at the hot dog stand cried and 2 police walked over and numbers of people and camera flash appeared thanks to the famous face of his.

"What's going on?" The police asked

"She wanted to kill this gentleman." Said the girl

"Gentleman!?" wtf

"Is that true?" The policed asked her with the knife on her hand

"....." She was silent

In the minute the police wanted to lock her, he said something and everyone stoned.

"What!?" She asked again

"She is my wife." He said "She was angry because i went home late last night."

"She just wanted to freak me out with the knife." He said

"You are his wife?" The police asked

"Err..."

"Both of you don lie! i can check your status in the watever department"

"No.. we are getting married very soon." He said "She is my lived in girl friend"

"Look at the ring on her hand!"

"Ring!?" Damn! she bought it herself from tiffany and co!

"she is wearing it on her right hand."

"Honey, what is wrong with you? should be on the left." He said

"I..." She was to stunned to talk

"Hmmp?"

"yes.. i was too angry when you walked in just now. so i simply put it on my hand" She said "I didnt notice it was my right hand.. do you mind place it back to the left for me?" She said and whisper to him "Like how people do it in the movie"

"You.." He kneel down and place on the left hand of hers "Look, we are good."

"Both of you know that lying to the police is wrong and will be charge?"

"Of course!"

"Famous people like you! shouldnt be lying! i expect to see your wedding ceremony in the paper!"

"nonono.. it will just be a small ceremony..." He said "family only..."

"A small ceremony in milan" She added

"What!?" Is she crazy? telling the press all this shit!? didnt she know is just a damn lie?

"Milan!? Mr. Young, are you going to get married in Milan? Where and When?" Asked the reporter

"Answer them, since you are getting married so soon. i expect you have arranged."

"Erm..." He was stunned "Next week... Next Saturday!" Let see who will be in big trouble!

So what that we are different? chp 15

2009-08-18T21:28:00.006+08:00

"It has been a while not see those kids." Asked Clair with a kettle of coffee

"I want my coffee" Said Anthony with an uneasy tone

"Terrius, where's Tiffany?" Clair asked and ignored her husband

"They are on holiday now. She went back to her home country." He said calmly while reading the newspaper

"They are on holiday?" she looked at Anthony "Why are you still working?"

"I want my cup of coffee." he repeated without answering her questions

"When is their holiday going to end?" Asked Clair and she ignored her husband again

"Tiffany emailed me the other day." said Terrius "Should be in 3 weeks time"

"I thought you are going to visit your mother in Taiwan?" She asked

"I went and I came back." He said "I am going to settle some stuff here and returning to Japan next week" he placed the newspaper on the bar counter and asked "Refill please"

Clair poured some coffee on his cup "Thank you"

"Damn you! I want my cup of coffee!!!!" Yelled Anthony

"Pour your self!" Answered Clair and placed the kettle infront of him rudely

"Anthony..."

" What?"

"Will you do anything if you know one of your students is on drug?" He asked

"Depends. if is just for fun, i wouldnt mind."

"What if he is addicted?" he asked

"Who are you talking about?"

"Eliot. it seems like, it's affecting his life." He said "Before that, i thought he just did it for fun like what we did in college. but he seems to be addicted."

"I thought he returned to Scotland?" asked Anthony

"I saw him taking it before the holiday, when i was in Tiffany's apartment." he answered "maybe he went back to Scotland now, i dont know."

"did you consult him or anything?"

"I wanted to, but i dont have the chance" he said "Tiffany seems to be very worried"

"I will try and talk to him when i see him" answered Anthony "His dad sent him to Aussie because he was too spoilt to be in UK. but now it seems like it isnt working"

"Is it?"

"He father is one of the dukes in UK." Answered Anthony "if i am not wrong, should be Duke of Gordon."

"I never know he has a strong family background." said Clair

"Strong!?" Asked Terrius

"I mean... whatever.."

"He wasnt a nice person?" Asked Terrius

"I think he wasnt." Said Anthony "He does changed when he became close with Tiffany and the others. He turned to a better person."

"They are good kids." Said Terrius

"Is Steven on drugs too?" Asked Anthony

"Nope, they were very worried about him."

"Morning!" Said a young girl

"Tiffany!?" Cried Clair

"What are you doing here?" Asked Terrius "Arent you on holiday!?"

"I was bored at home so i came back." She said with a fake smile.

"...." Terrius was silent and looked at the differents before she left Sydney and now. she doesnt seems right to him, infact he can feel that she was lying

"What are you doing so early in the morning?" Asked Anthony

"Coffee to go." Said Tiffany "I am going for work later!" She said cheerfully

"Work!?" Cried Anthony "Which ID firm will hire a blur case idiot like you?"

"Nope, im going to work at the fine dining restaurant down the street."

"As what?" Asked Terrius

"Chef!" She said

"You mean, washing dishes in the kitchen right?" Asked Anthony

"Can you stop it!?" Cried Clair "Give her some support!"

"Why would they hire you?" Asked Terrius "You dont have any experience."

"I told them, im interested." She said

"Did they interviewed you?" Asked Anthony

"Yes."

"I can tell why now." Said Anthony "There's really nothing good about you, but always full of confident on presentations and interview. i think that's your only talent."

"Your coffee is here.." Said Clair "Is on house to today. good luck." She said and smiled

"Thanks darling!" she said "Bye!" and she walked out th cafe

"Is she going to work at the very unique restaurant?"

"I think so, that the only fine dining restaurant around here."

"The one that is famous of....."

"Yes"

___________________________

"Bye, see you guys tomorrow." Said Tiffany and walked out the restaurant by the door behind of the restaurant

"Tif" Terrius cried

"Hey, you are here!" Said Tiffany and grabbed the right hand of the man "Is very cold tonight"

"Yea." He said "How was work?"

"Fun, i learned something today. they were very kind to me." She said "Working in the kitchen is not easy at all."

"really?"

"I can see the disappointment on the chef's eyes when some food were unfinished and the anger in they eyes when there were send back."

"Tif.." he said and stopped walking

"Yea?"

"Why did you come back in a suddenly?" Asked the man with a cigarette on his hand

"...." She was silent was walked a little away from him "Terrius, can i not talk about it?" She asked

"Im just asking, if you dont feel comfortable is okay." He said and placed her hand into his long coat's pocket "Arent you complaining that it's cold?" He asked with a smile

"yea.." She said

"Sir, would you like to buy one for your girlfriend?" Said a little girl with a hat and a basket of a pink and a blue fairy floss

"He is not my..." She wanted to explain but she decided not to

"Yes, i will have one." He said "A pink one."

"This is the last pink one, Sir." She answered "God bless you."

"Wait, I will have blue one too." He said

"Thank you sir. You made my day." She said with a smile and walked away

"Is it because it's the last one?" She asked

"Yes, so that she can go home and rest." He said and handed the pink one to Tiffany "My grandmother used to tell me, something like this.."

"What?"

"Make a wish before you start eating a fairy floss and your wish will come true. If you share a fairy floss with your love ones, you will be with the person forever." He said

"Are you trying to ask to offer my pink one to you?" She asked

"Maybe." He said

"Why dont you offer your blue one to me?" She asked

"I will be a loser if you said no." He laughed

"Never try, never know." she said

He stuffed some blue fairy floss into her mouth without asking her. "I think you dont have a chance to reject me now." He said and laughed out loud

"You are such an evil." She said

"Not really." He said unwrap the pink fairy floss as well. he combined both together "Hold it with your left hand." He said and he hold her right hand

"How am i going to eat!?" She said and he stuff some fairy floss onto her mouth again

"Like this." He said "I will look very gay if i hold it."

"What a reason." She mocked and they walked down to the street by holding each other's hands

So what that we are different? chp 14

"Is helping people the only reason for me to live?" Said a man with a brown long coat walking toward the bar counter of the cafe "I cant believe this! An old lady asked me to help her on crossing the road and i help her!"

"Good for you." Said Clair

"And a kid ask me to buy him candies!"

"And i bet you didnt."

"Of coz i didnt! candies?" He cried "Come on man! i need it too!"

"Yea.. whatever." She said and placed a cup of coffee on the bar "There goes your essential of your day. and stop bitching!"

"If you arent my wife, i will... I will...."

"Yelled at her instead of raising your voice?" Said Steven on the other table and all of them laughed

"believe me, even God ask Anthony Brown for a candy, he will yell at god like he did to the kid just now." Said Clair by refilling Eliot's coffee

"Believe me, Clair. God wont be here, he is in heaven, this is Sydney!" He said "and how do you know I yell at him? i mean you are accusing me! Mayb, i did not yell at him!"

"Aha.. you did not yell at him?" Mocked Tiffany "Give me a break, Sir! you yelled at him!" and they laughed again

"Oh well, i asked him to get out of my face. that's all i did and guess what!? he started crying."

"And you walked away without giving him a damn." Said Eliot "Aww, you are my favourite lecturer."

"Hey Clair, a cup of coffee and a glass of orange juice for this young man." Said Terrius that just walked in

"Oh.. that kid!" Anthony whispered

"The one you yelled at" Said Tiffany

"Oh.. is that old man who yelled at me just now..." The little boy said by pulling Terrius's pants

"You nasty little boy! who are you calling an old man!?" he cried

"Is ok, he is a good man." Terrius said and handed the glass of orange juice to him "stick with them until your parents come to you ok?" he said and pointed at the four people

"Oh.. again.." Said Momoko

"Yes, again." He said "Long story short, thank you." and sat on the other table that Anthony is sitting

"Terrius, who are you staying with?" He asked

"Im not gonna tell you.." He said wickedly while reading the newspaper

"Oh please! we slept together in college!" Cried Anthony

"You slept with him!?" Asked Clair

"We were roommates, we slept in the same room." Explained Terrius calmly

"Clair, we are having a conversation here, dont interrupt!" He said

"Now you are not having a conversation with Terrius but me." Said Clair

"Shut up both of you." said Terrius "Im trying to read the headlines."

"Eliot!" cried Anthony

"What?" Asked Eliot without looking at him but all the equations

"How's Ashley doing?" asked Anthony

"Still breathing." he said

"so i assume she is improving."

"slowly" Terrius added

"How do you know?" Asked Anthony

"He yelled as loud as you to her every afternoon when i try to watch TV in Tiffany's apartment."

"You are staying with Tiffany!?" Asked Anthony

"I did not say that." He said "the only thing i said is i watched TV in her apartment."

"You slept with her?" He asked again

"For god sake! NO!" said Terrius

"Then?"

"My adopted daughter is staying with her." He answered "and no further questions. Thank you and Shut up"

_______________________________

She was reading magazine with a cup of hot mocha at the starbucks that she never thought she will return to. this place bought back a lot of her memories, memories with him, Issac. if wasnt her grandfather need a check up and insist to be done in this hospital, she wont be here. the hospital is busy as usual, people come in and out but there werent any college students now because the restaurants around her old college are back on business.

"Are you.. Tiffany...?" A man asked her and she looked up

"Yes..." She said after a while. she was thinking should she deny who is she.

"How are you? It has been ages not seeing you!" Said a young nurse, David

"I am fine." she paused "I went Sydney for my education."

"I cant tell how excited will Issac be, if he knows that you are back." He added

"Erm.. mayb.." she said softly

"Tiffany!?" Cried a young doctor with glasses

"Ivan.. how are you?" She asked with a fake smiled. she hate this, she dont want to let Issac knows that she is back.

"Too bad Issac is in a meeting, or else..."

"I suppose, it doesnt matter to him." she said softly

Both of them were silent. they know that Issac refused to see her and when he finally want to see her, she rejected meeting her.

"Tif, im really sorry about what happened." Said Ivan

"Mayb is not like what you thought." David tried to defends his friend.

"Is okay." she smile "Is very nice to see both of you. I need to pick up my grandfather." she added "bye" she walked away and leave her still hot mocha on the table

"She is still mad at Issac, doesnt she?" Asked David

"Look at the mocha on the table, it's still hot and untouched." answered Ivan

"Issac is a bastard." David said

"i cant believe he is still with Melissa and they are still not married." Ivan said in an angry tone "he is a moron."

"Totally." Agreed David

"Why am i a moron?" asked Issac that came out from no where

"Holy Shit!" Cried David "Do not do that again!"

"What happened?" Asked Issac

"We saw Tiffany just now." Said Ivan

"..........." he was silent

"Your silent prove that you are a moron that chicken out on relationship!" said Ivan

"Come on.. you aint me! I have Melissa, I have Eva! I am not as single as you see!" Said Issac

"Melissa, Melissa, Melissa! Damned Melissa!"

"Besides that Tiffany is just a college girl! i am an all grown up!" He said

"Then why is her flash drive still attached with your working pass?" Asked David

Issac unattached the flash drive and thrown it on the floor angrily. "Is that what both of you want!?" He turned around wanted to walk away but he saw Tiffany standing behind him

"I left my cellphone on the table... " She said calmly "I wanted to take it back but now it seems i found my long lost thumb drive." She said and smiled

She picked up the flash drive on the floor and placed the cellphone she left on the table to her bag

"I never know i will meet you again in this kinda situation." She said with a smile "Anyway, is very nice to see you again." she walked away and her tears finally were all over her face.

This is why she didnt want to see him again. She knew this will happened. after coming back to where she belongs, she has been thinking of him non-stop. is this what she get? Maybe she should go Taiwan with Terrius instead of coming back. Terrius invited her to join him the day before she bought the air tickets, but she rejected. She couldnt believe this. is this what she deserved?

So what that we are different? chp 13

"Can i not join the competition?" Tiffany asked

"Why!? is milan!" asked Eliot

"I am not interested in furniture, sofas in precise." she said

"you should try your luck." Said Momoko while looking at a house plan

"oh god leave me alone." she said "even my mother asked me to forget it."

"darling, get some rest, relax and think about it later ok?" said Momoko

"Oh yea.. whatever." she said and closed her eyes

"Damn you! you moron!" A man stood in the front of the entrance of the cafe and cried to someone on the road "The next time i see you, i promise i will tear you into pieces!"

"The world is going upside down! these morons are driving me crazy! They are out of their minds!"

"Here he comes again..." said Steven

"Clair, one coffee to go" Said the man who just cried in the entrance

"Anthony why dont you just..." The owner of the cafe was just wanted to advise

"I said coffee to go." He said

"Anthony, will you just stop being upset with your life?" Asked Clair with a cup of coffee on her hand

"Yes, she is right." Said Eliot

"Everytime you come in, you complain about your life, if you dont, you will be yelling at people in the entrance." Said Tiffany

"Are you kids having a problem with me!?" He asked ans looked at them

"Actually we dont." They said continue their work

"Im going to fail 4 of you if you have a problem with me." he said

"That's why we said, we dont have a problem with you." Said Tiffany

"What are you people doing here anyway?" He asked and walked over to them

"Plans, and plans and plans?" Steven answered by showing all the house plans

"Good for you." He said "Dont forget my chemistry report." and walked back to the bar counter

"You should be kind to your students" Said Clair

"Aha.. as if he will..." mocked Eliot

"We were happy that he gave us a B the last time" Said Momoko "Oh no.. should be delight."

"That was because you arent working hard enough." He answered "How hard is balancing the equations can be? and none of you.. i mean none of the class did the correctly!"

"Well, for people like them." Said Terrius that just walked into the cafe "Everything is very difficult."

"Oh yes i know." Said Anthony "Wait a minute! What the hell are you doing here?"

"Coffee to go, Clair" He said without answering him "I need to rush for a meeting"

"Terrius the moron im talking to you! Why are you having your coffee here!?" Asked Anthony "I thought you stayed like 15km away from here and your office is like... far away from here"

"All I can say is, you are a bad professor." he answered "I have been staying with your student for weeks"

"Who!?" He asked

"Oh come on.." Said Terrius "Is none of your business anyway, see you at work later" and he walked out the cafe with his coffee

"Who is he staying with?" Anthony asked them

"How do you know him?" Asked Tiffany

"We worked together."

"You are a professor in our uni."

"Part Time ONLY." He said and asked again "Who is he staying with?"

"Do we look like we know?" Steven lied

"right, you people know nothing.." he said and walked out the cafe

"Cut it off you people!" Anthony yelled "is it that hard to read a periodic table!?"

"Oh my god, slap me Steven" Said Momoko

"I will if you ask again." answered Steven and Momoko slapped him lightly "Why did you slap me?"

"I dont know. i am bored." She said

"Miss Ashley, you arent paying attention in class! " He cried "You dont even know where Hydrogen located in the table!"

"Oh not again.. he has been teaching her how to read a periodic table for days!" Said Eliot "Damned"

"I feel tired, can i go home?" Asked Tiffany

"No one is leaving until she knows how to read the table!" Said Anthony

"Oh, bloody hell!" Eliot rose from his seat "Ashley look here! this is Hydrogen! H is the short form the symbol for it!" He almost cried

"Sir, if you dont mind, let me try." He said

"Go ahead.." Anthony answered in stunned

"Back off then." He said to Anthony "Look here this.. this.. this! this is Hydrogen. Hydrogen is commonly known as water.."

"Actually is not really water.." Said Anthony and he shut up when Eliot stare at him "Whatever just get it done."

"Do you understand?" He said "Google for a periodic table with he full names of the elements and remember it okay?"

"So Hydrogen is actually water?" Asked Ashley "But why dont they put there like W instead of H? like Water?"

"Professor, let them go, i will do my best to teach her today." Said Eliot

"You sure you can do it?" Asked Anthony

"Im your only B+ student, what do you think?" He said "Honestly when was the last time you gave an A to anyone?"

"I have not been giving students A for 4 years..." he recalled and said slowly

"You stingy pig!" Said Eliot "Go away, i will get her 'done' by today and tomorrow we will have a normal class."

"Is not very nice to refer your professor as a pig." Said Anthony

"Im Eliot." He said

"Whatever, class dismiss, will be replace by tomorrow." He said "Got a date with Clair, i better run." he said and walked quickly out of the lab

"Eliot, you sure you will be fine?" Asked Momoko

"Yes, and go away leave both of us alone before i kill her." Said Eliot

"Fine then.. bye." Said Tiffany and they walked out of the lab
_________________________________

"You have a bad chemistry class today. dont you?" Asked Terrius

"Well, Eliot is currently missing in action." she said and has a sip of her green tea

"I know, Anthony was complaining to me at work just now." He said

"Xinyi, drink some water." Said Tiffany and passed a cup of warm green tea to her

"Is green tea." he said

"Is liquid." She answered

"Can I have more?" Asked Xinyi

"Yea.. sure.." Terrius refill her green tea and his phone rang

"Hello"

"Hi, is this Mr.Terrius?" Asked a man on the other side of the phone

"yes, and you are?"

"Im Richard the police officer who is in charge on the little chinese girl's case."

"Oh.. yea.."

"We found her parents." He said

"Oh great then, i will bring her over right after we are done with our dinner."

"Mr. Terrius, you gonna be prepare for this.." He paused "her parents were found dead in a lorry. their body were covered by straws in the country side. A farmer found them while he was feeding his horses."

"What!?" He cried "You must be kidding me."

"No, im not. the body will be buried by saturday, is 3 days from on." he said "I hope you can find a way to informed the little girl and bring her here before staurday. I am very sorry Mr.Terrius."

"...."

"And i wonder are you interested in adopting her, or else..."

"I will adopt her." He said "Give me sometime, i will need to find a chance to tell her."

"Sure, im sorry for the inconvenient caused."

"I dont know what to say....... anyway, thanks for informing." He said and hung up the phone

Tiffany was staring at him, she can guess what is going on but she didnt not ask. He was silent for the rest of the dinner until they reached Tiffany's apartment and put Xinyi to bed

"Okay, now.." She passed a glass of hot milk to him "Tell me, what was the phone call about."

"......."

"Come on, Terrius."

"Her parents were found dead in the country side." He said

"How are you going to tell her?" she asked while sketching on her butterpaper

"I dont know" He change his sit form the sofa to the carpet on the floor. "The farmer found them while he was feeding his horses." He shut his eyes and placed his head on the sofa "She has been so looking forward to see them again. She told me she is going to tell them about the movie we watched last week and the colored fairy floss. she said she is going to buy her mother a pink fairy floss because she mother loved pink. she told me so many about them. and now..."

She was silent, she didnt know what to say. Suddenly they heard someone broke something. Terrius quickly opened his eyes and rushed to the kitchen and saw Xinyi broke a glass and the floor is full of water and cracked glass.

Papa and mama wont be back anymore? how could this happened? that day, papa told her they are going to watch Ice Aged 3. Mama told her they will be having Italian dinner after the movie and suddenly a man with knife came into their car, mama pushed her out. how could they leave her alone here. without them, what is going to happened to her? she sat on the floor with cuts on her both hands and cried.

Tiffany hugged her and carried her to the sofa. Terrius clean her hands and applied medicine on those cuts. He hugged her and told her "it's ok xinyi, Tiffany and I will always be here for you."

"Xinyi.. is okay.." She knows is not okay. is not okay for a kid as young as her to lost her parents. is not okay, is unfair. she is just a child. Is so unfair. She was a happy child although she wasnt from a rich family, but she was satisfied with what she has. she didnt ask for more. all she wants is to be together with her parents and live happily with them like what she used to do.

"Pa...pa...." She said with tears and hugged Terrius even harder. she punched Terrius chest and said "I want papa and mama back... i want my papa.. and mama back...please..."

"They...wont be back.." he said and a tear drop rolled out from his left eye "But they will be in here forever" he touched her tiny chest

"Pa..pa.. said gonna... gonna.. bring me to the Chinese restaurant he worked at, on m..y..my.. birthday.." she said "and m...a..ma..mama.. said she.. she...will.. buy a chocolate.. for..for..my birthday..." she said and tears were all over her tiny face.
_____________________________________

The door bell rang and Tiffany went to the door.

"Yo! Xinyi." Said Steven "Are you ready?"

"Yea..." She said happily with a little purple bag on her back

"Lets go to the Zoo then." momoko added

"Dont lost her." said Terrius while reading the newspaper

"We wont. please dont worry" Answered Steven and shut the door

"She seems to accept the fact that they left." Said Tiffany and place a cup of rose tea on the coffee table

"It has been weeks after that." He answered "I believe she has accepted the fact that they left."

"Yea.. is good for her." She answered and read her magazine

"I am bringing her to Taiwan next week." He said

"Why?"

"I think, im gonna ask my mother to take care of her."

"Your mother? Taiwan?"

"She is living there. she likes the environment there."

"Ohh.. do she know you are going to bring Xinyi to her?"

"yea.. i told her the other day." he said "she was very sorry for her and she said she will take care of her."

"Great then." She answered

"My mother always wanted a daughter but she only has my elder brother and me. so.. is a chance..."

"Is really nice to hear that."

"After going to Taiwan, i will need to return to Japan for awhile."

"Ohh... ok.." She said and she felt sad

"Wont be returning so soon."

"Is ok." She said and felt really sad about it "is really ok"

he wanted to tell her about them but he know it wasnt right to do that. she is just way too young. mayb he should just forget it and relax for the rest of the week and goes on with his life. now he totally understands that why is Anthony always tells him that life is pathetic. he thought and laughed at himself.
