Love Contract had been a magical drama. The character she had played, Xiao Feng had been a spitfire, hiding her vulnerability behind sharp words, denying her own need for love, almost drowning in her own feeling of inadequacy because of the scar she carried. And Ah Ken… when Ariel was told that the male lead was going to be played by Mike, she had been relieved. She had acted with him in two previous dramas and they had gotten along well and they had initiated a friendship after the second drama. Being of similar age and working in the same circle provided them with lots of opportunities to spend time together.
Ariel had enjoyed Mike’s wit, his odd manner of looking at life. She knew that because of his good looks people would automatically assume that he was a player and she had even teased him about it and she remembered now how he had retorted, “they don’t have a picture of me with a single girl, other than the actresses I work with. If I am such a great lady-killer, you’d think they’d have more evidence of it than just the imaginary women whose hearts they accuse me of breaking.”
Ariel hadn’t expected the chemistry that had almost sizzled and burnt when she and Mike first kissed. The first kiss, Xiao Feng and Ah Ken. Her heart had missed a beat, Ariel’s heart and not Xiao Fengs. His lips had been soft and sure but she had felt his heart beating wildly underneath the mangy t-shirt he had to wear. Ariel hadn’t known whether it was Mike’s heart beating wildly or Ah Ken’s.
Ariel’s phone rang and she started, feeling guilty for some reason. She reached out and picked it up from where it lay beside the bath tub.
“Hi?”
“Hello, sweetlips.”
“Joe!”
“The one and only.”
“You’re coming to Jiro’s b’day bash, yeah?”
“But of course. Free food!”
“Is there anything else you think about besides food?”
“Yeah!”
“And what is that?”
“You, of course.”
“Aww.”
“So what are you doing right now?”
“I’m soaking in the bath.”
“Oooo, you are all nekkid?”
“Ew, Joe, you perv.”
“Hahahah!”
Ariel laughed too, knowing that he said outrageous things just so he could hear her enraged voice.
“Okay, I just called to check whether you were coming to the party. So I’ll see you there then?”
“Yeah you will.”
Saying goodbye, he hung up.

Author's Note: Don't kill me. Actually you have to catch me first! =P
For all the people who think that there is going to a love triangle/square/pentagon, HA! Wait and see. I don't like triangle. Squares are nice and solid and but.. pentagon? Hrm. I hope you see where I'm leading all this to.. a BIG HUGE major scene, one which I had to split into like a gajillion chapters cuz it moves the story forward. I've written it, I'll post it once I've written three more scenes, okay? *looks at clock* OMG, Im late for work! *runs away*
