"Hi, Qian! Glad you called back just in time."
"Hi, Mich. You wanted to see me?"
"Yes, I have some news to tell you. But I want to tell you in person. Could you come over this coming weekend?"
"Good news?? hehehe....Yes, of course I can come."
"By the way, how are you doing? Sorry, I forgot to ask....it's just that I'm so anxious to let tell you this news....but I want to wait until this weekend to let you know."
"Hm...so secretive heh? Hehehe...anyways, I'm doing good. I'm not throwing up or getting tired much at all now. Just a lot of craving."
"Well, you're in your trimester so it's definitely natural to be having a lot of appetite. Listen, I have to get back to work. I'll see you this weekend and we can talk more, OK?"
"OK, see you then."
Qian hangs up the phone then redialed another number.
"Hi, Ray. It's Qian."
"Oh Hi. Is everything alright?"
"Yes Yes, I'm just calling to let you know I won't be at home this Saturday because I'm going over to Michelle's place. So don't stop by."
"OK. Did you need a ride over there?"
"No. I'll be fine. OK, I'll let you get back to work. Bye."

{Setting : Michelle's apartment}
"Auntie Qian! Did you buy anything for me?" Michael asked curiously as he took a peek inside the plastic bag Qian brought with her.
"Have you been a good boy and listen to your Mommy?" Qian asked as she bent down slightly to open the bag for Michael to see what she had bought him.
"Uh huh. Uh huh." Michael repeated nodded as he ripped opened the bag and discovered a big transformation toy. "Oh wow!!! Transformer Man. Thank you Auntie!!!"
Michelle walked into the living room with an apron and said, "Did you say thank you and give your Auntie a kiss?"
"Uh huh. Uh huh. Muah Muah." Michael placed several sloppy kisses on Qian's face. "I can't wait to show this to Daddy Wai!"
Qian looked up at Michelle with questioning eyes, then asked "Daddy Wai? Am I....hearing things correctly?"
Michelle gave Qian a bright smiled and grabbed both of her hands and directed her to sit down on the couch.
"He asked me to marry him!!" Michelle finally blurted out her secret.
"You mean your boss, Man-Wai?? Oh my gosh!! What a suprising news!! I'm so happy for you, Mich!" Qian gave Mich a great big hug. She couldn't help but started to cry upon hearing this happy news.
"I know, I know...I was crying too when he proposed to me." Michelle couldn't help but also cried tears of joy when she saw Qian crying too. "I couldn't believe that with my luck, I'd ever meet a man like Man-Wai. I'm so happy, Qian."
Qian wiped the tears away from her beautiful friend's face and smiled. She was very happy to know that now her friend has finally found a happy family alas.
"So when is the wedding?"
"Oh, it's not going to big or anything like that. It'll just be at a restaurant with some of friends and his family. It's at the end of this month."
"I can't wait, Mich. I'm truly happy for you. Mai-Wai, he's a good man it seems?" Qian asked.
"Yes!! Can't you tell that Michael adores him too??" Michelle giggled.
"And you? I can tell that you are also in love with him, am I right?" Qian smiled.
But Michelle didn't need to answer Qian's question, because Qian already knew that Michelle was in love with her future husband from the looks in Michelle's eyes.
"And what about you? How are things between you and Ray?" Michelle asked.
"We're fine."
"Just fine?"
Qian wasn't sure what else Michelle wanted to hear, there wasn't much to say about hers and Ray's relationship. "Yes, we're just normal friends now. He stops by the apartment quite frequent, especially on the weekends and brings me food to eat. He also takes me to the doctor when I have an appointment. I guess you can say that we are getting along just fine. He does his own things and I get to do my own things and we're pretty comfortable with our lifestyle so far."
"Don't you find that awkward? I mean, that you two are just normal friends while you're carrying his baby?"
"At first it was, but I have gotten use to it now. I mean, I don't really expect for neither of us to actually have a future together. But it's like I can't just take him completely out of the picture -- he is my baby's father after all. Plus, he's been extremely caring and nice, which is more than I can ask for."
"Do you ever consider that you both might eventually develop feelings for each other eventually? I mean, look at me. I never thought I'd be marrying my own boss when I first came to work for him. But now here I am less than a month away from getting married."
Qian rested her hands on Michelle's, "Mich, I know you have hopes on me and Ray. But I don't think it's possible. We have total opposite expectation from one another in terms of choosing partner. The guy practically dates more women in one month than I get my hair cut, for god sake! He's not my type. You know, the kind who can be committed to one woman?"
"Well, it's not like Ron is any better -- loving two women at the same time." Michelle replied. When she saw that Qian wasn't going to comment on her last remark, Michelle continued and said "All I'm saying is that, just give yourself another chance. Who knows when the next opportunity knocks on your door. It could or could not be Ray. But at least you're willing to let someone else love you."
Qian gave Michelle a mocking gaze then said teasingly, "Since when did you become such an expert on love, Mich?"
Michelle laughed, "Don't tease me, Qian. I just know that I was in your shoes too. I never thought I'd find someone who truly loves me and Michael. But then I met Man-Wai and it just happened naturally."
"Don’t’ say anymore, Mich….hehehe… You’re making me drool with envy!" Qian laughed.
"Seriously, promise me you'll give yourself a chance when the time comes again?"
Qian nodded and smile.
--------------------------------------
It has been a long time since Ray actually has the entire weekend to himself. So Ray decided to call up some of his guys friends and went golfing. Afterward, at night they went clubbing at the Pink Lady Bar. It's been months since Ray has been back to that bar.
"Man, this club rocks! Did you see those cute sexy pink ladies?" One of the guys in the group asked.
"Yeah, oh here comes one now...Hey there babe." Max yelled out loud. "I'd like to order a drink."
The pink lady waitress smiled brightly as she walked up to their table. Her breasts were so huge, it almost popped out from the tiny tight outfit she was wearing.
"Hi guys..." The waitress said in a sly seductive tone while chewing her gum. "What can I get you all to drink?"
"I'll have a scotch." One of the guys said.
"And I'll have a rum and coke." Max said in a low voice.
Ray knew Max was up to his usual trick again. He was trying to get the waitress to bend down so he could see her breasts. It was the same trick Max had used on Qian, and Qian being gullible as she was, fell for the trick. But this waitress was not as innocent as Qian and did not fall for it.
"If you wanted me to bend over, you'd have to do better that." The waitress said bluntly.
Max's face turned bright red when he realized that his trick was just too immature for this well-experienced waitress. "Damn!"
The waitress ignored Max and proceed to the next person at the table, "How about you sweetie, what can I get you?"
"I'll have a scotch too." Ray replied and flashed her one of his usual smile.
The waitress winked at Ray before leaving the table to fulfill their drink order.
"How the hell did you get her to fall for you?" Max exclaimed with bitterness in his voice.
"You just gotta play it cool, man. That little trick of yours is getting old."
"Well it worked last time didn't it? Remember when that little waitress...you know the one with really cute butt and perky breasts..."
Ray felt a little bit uncomfortable having Max talked about Qian's features in such perverse manner, but of course he knew that Max didn't know about Qian and him so he couldn't blame him.
"Yes, I remember, Max." Ray replied.
"Oh yeah …wasn’t it funny when she fell on top of you. Quite a scenery, heh?"
Ray had a hidden smile on his face as he remembered clearly Qian's facial expression from that night when she found his hands on her buttocks. Her face was filled with anger and embarrassment at the same time.
When the waitress returned with their order, all the guys noticed that she gave Ray extra attention as she slipped his drink into his hand. Ray knew immediately what her intentions were when she slowly slipped a small note while bending down to give him his drinks. It was quite hard for Ray to ignore her voluptuous breasts since they were placed directly in front of him. She winked at him before turning to leave towards the back entrance door.
Ray opened the small piece of paper and on it scribbled "Meet me at the back entrance."
"Go on man, whatcha waiting for? She's obviously into you." One of the guys said.
So Ray put the piece of paper in his pants then made his way to the back entrance door. As soon as Ray opened the door and stepped outside, he felt a pair of hands wrapped around his chest from behind. It was the sexy waitress. She quickly pulled Ray to the side of the door, pushed his head down and kissed him hungrily. Soon, she guided his hands to be placed all over her body as she continued to kiss him. Ray pressed his body harder next to hers as he continued to roam his hands on her body then to her breasts.
"Wait, let me get this damn bunny ears off of me first." The waitress exclaimed as she yanked the bunny ears off of her head. "Here, hold this for me while I'll unzip you. Gosh you're so hot. I just want you right now."
Ray held onto the bunny ears as the waitress continued to unbuckle and unzip his pants.
"Wait. Stop." Ray said abruptly and stopped her hands from reaching for his zipper.
The waitress looked up with a surprised, but pleading look. "What?"
"Sorry, maybe another time.” Ray quickly hand her back her bunny ears and pushed her away from him.
"What the f--- was that? Well, screw him!" The waitress yelled bitterly as Ray walked away.

{Sound : Ding-Dong}
Qian put down her paint brush and wiped her hands clean before going out to answer the door.
Ray was leaning against the front door wall with one hand placed on his hip and other one holding onto the coat of his suit, which was swung over his shoulder.
"Ray, what are you doing here so late?" Qian asked when she opened the door to find disarray Ray standing in front of her door.
"Good, you're still awake. Can I come in?" Ray asked then walked inside when Qian held the door for him to enter.
"Did you forget something here, Ray?" Qian asked curiously as she pulled the rubber band from her hair and. With a quick swoop she retied her hand up into a ponytail while waiting for Ray to reply.
"No. I was just in the neighborhood so I thought I'd stop by to see how you were doing." Ray replied.
Qian gave him a quizzingly look but then decided not to ask any further.
"What are you doing up so late? Isn't it passed your bedtime?" Ray asked.
"I wanted to finish painting the room first. If I leave it unfinished it'll get dry quicker on side and the color will turn out different."
"Painting the room? What for?" Ray asked.
"Oh, didn't I tell you? I've been meaning to pant the baby's room. And since I got home early this afternoon, so I started on it. I didn't realize it'd take so long....Come on let me show you."
Qian pulled Ray's hand towards the room at the end of the small hallway.
"What do you think?" Qian smiled brightly when she showed him the room.
"It's..green." Ray remarked with a hint of shock.
"You don't like green? I picked it because I thought it'd do well for both girl or boy...and look I even pasted these glow-in-the-dark stars in the ceiling. So when you turn off the lights, it's like looking at the stars." Qian turned around and turned off the light. All around the room were glowing-stars except for a few spots in the higher part of the ceiling.
"You're missing some part of the ceiling." Ray said.
"Yeah, I know. I couldn't reach them even with a ladder."
"You climbed up on a ladder??? Qian, you know you're not supposed to be climbing ladder. What if you had fallen?" Ray asked angrily.
"Uh..."
"You could have waited for me, you know. Instead of doing everything yourself all the time." Ray exclaimed with some bitterness in his voice.
"Sorry, I just didn't want to bother you" Qian replied.
Ray ignored her answer and started to roll up both his sleeves.
"Are you....are you still mad at me? I didn't know you were coming tonight. If I had known , I've let you do the ceiling part."
"Here give me the rest of the stars."
Ray got up on the ladder and placed the stars in areas of the ceiling which were still missing.
"You're missing one there...over there in the corner....and other one here....oh and don't forget behind you too."
Even with his height and long arms, there were several spots on the high ceiling Ray had to stretch in order to reach them. Holding onto the ladder with one arm, Ray leaned over to the high top and placed the last couple of stars when he felt a twitching pain on his upper shoulder muscle.
"Ouch."
"Are you OK, Ray? No, forget that area. Don't try to reach for it…. you'll only hurt yourself."
"I almost got it...just one more....OK. Done."
When Ray climbed back down, his back right shoulder was still in pain.
"Did you hurt yourself?" Qian asked with concern in her voice.
"I think I twitched the muscle to my right shoulder blade."
"You mean here?" Qian press hard on Ray's right should blade.
"Ouch! Yes!"
"Come on big baby, follow me. I'm gonna give you a massage."
Ray followed Qian into the living room.
"Take your shirt off and lie on the couch with your face down." Qian ordered as she went into the kitchen.
"What?" Ray asked.
"I said, take your shirt off and lie on the...." Qian repeated her order, but stopped short of words when she came back to the living room to see that Ray had already 'followed' her order.
"That was quick." Qian said as she sat down next to Ray, who was lying shirtless with his face down.
"Ahhhhhh......what's that cold stuff you're putting on me?"
"It's ICY-HOT medicine cream. It'll help loosen your muscle. Just relax."
Qian slowly moved her hands across his back shoulder and applied a light pressure on it, "Does this hurt?..No?" Ray shook his head. "OK, good. Let me know if I'm putting too much pressure OK?" Ray nodded.
Ray's muscle pain was the least of his problem right now as he lay there. Even the sudden scorching burn from the ICY-HOT medicine cream wasn't as hot as the burning sensation desires that Ray was experiencing just from Qian touching him. He'd be lying to himself if he says he didn't leave that hot waitress back there at the bar because of Qian. Up until the moment before the waitress handed him those bunny ears, Ray was very tempted to do it right there with her. But as soon as he saw those bunny ears, they reminded him of Qian. And without a clear reason why, Ray found himself unable to do it with the waitress. But now, being here at this moment with Qian, he knew exactly the reason why he had stopped. Lately, he noticed that he has been burning with desires for Qian more and more each day. Ray kept his eyes shut in attempt to control the burning sensation that was running like madness inside of him. Suddenly, Qian's hand moved slowly from his upper shoulders down to his back.
"Could you...not do that." Ray moaned softly.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Does it hurt much there too?" Qian asked. She was oblivious to the actual 'pain' she was causing Ray with her touch.
"No, just massage the shoulder part is fine." Ray murmured weakly.
Ray didn't think he would have survived after 15 long minutes with Qian's hand on his body. He was glad when it was finally over.
"OK, I think that should be good enough to loosen up your muscle. You can put your shirt back on." Qian said, then stood up from the couch so that Ray could sit up again.
"Could you get me a glass of water?" Ray asked before he sat up. "Like now?"
"Sure" Qian left the living room, leaving Ray just enough time to recover himself and put his shirt back on.
Ray thought, "Get a grip of yourself. What the hell is going thru that mind of yours. Stop acting like a teenage boy!"
"Did I put too much of that medicine on you? Why are you sweating, Ray?” Qian asked when she handed him a tall glass of water.
Ray gulped down the entire glass of water, then replied "Yeah….I think so…Listen, it's getting late. I need to leave."
It's probably just a physical attraction, Ray told himself on his way driving home. It'd die away. He was pretty sure.
