Am I falling for Ron? I don’t know if this is a good thing or not. When I’m with Ron I feel so happy and safe, but I also feel like I’m cheating on Matt even though he’s been dead for so long already. I don’t know what I should do. After that day where Ron and I watched the shooting stars, I think I’ve fallen for him. I know that he cares for me, but he doesn’t force me, he helps me and gives me this protection that no one could ever give me. He’s such a romantic sweetheart and I like the feelings that he gives me. But I don’t know what to do about my Matt problem. As I was drifting off about the thought, there was a knock on my door.
“Come in.” I called
The door crept open and Ron was standing there with a bouquet of pink carnations, my favorite.
“Hey, haven’t visited you in a while because I was busy. Today I’m finally free, so thought I should come by to see how you are.” Ron said “Oh and to give you this bouquet of pink carnations too, hope you like it.” He then handed me the bouquet in which I held it tightly.
“Thank you, I love pink carnations.” I commented
“You can almost go home right?” Ron asked
“Yeah, I think tomorrow.” I replied
“Last time you said that too, but the doctor still kept you in.” Ron said
“I know, they’re just paranoid. But I’m pretty sure that I get to go home tomorrow, I can’t wait.” I said happily
“Yeah, gotta love that feeling of going back home again.” Ron said smiling
I nodded in agreement
“Anyways, we were lucky that we got to see the shooting stars last time. And that I got to see it with you…” Ron spoke as he walked closer to me, his hand reaching toward mine and he held my small delicate hand into his. “Are you feeling the same way that I feel?”
That question was quite unexpected. I didn’t no how to answer him, I just remain silent, my head tilting away to avoid his eye contact with me.
Ron carefully turned my head over so that he can look at me “Leila, that night where we saw the shooting stars, I know the feeling that night was real, when we were dancing and the kiss that we almost had. I could tell that you like me too, but I want you to tell me yourself.”
I gulped, so afraid to say this. For some reason, it’s so hard for me to admit it even though deep inside, I know I had the same feeling as Ron do.
“Ron, I—“
Before I could finish what I was about to say, Ron had pulled me into a deep kiss. At first, I hesitated, I even tried to push him away, but then I didn’t feel so afraid anymore. If I am able to kiss a man like that then I love him don’t I? I kissed him back and the feeling was so breathtaking and yet it soothes me. We kissed for a while and finally we let go and I pulled him into my embrace, I couldn’t help but felt so emotional then, I started to cry into his shoulders.
“Ron, I do love you and that feeling that night was real, it’s not just you, but I feel it too. I’ve liked you even before then, but was too afraid to admit it and the whole Matt problem still lingers inside my mind, I was so scared…” I told him as I cried and hung onto him tightly.
Ron held me back tightly, making me feel warm and safe. He patted my head and said “Shhh…don’t cry, I know, I understand. You weren’t ready and you were scared, but everything is okay now. Whatever that you want to say just tell me, don’t hide your feelings away because that would hurt even more. Do you understand?”
I nodded then shut my eyes and rested on his shoulder. Ron was able to talk me through about my feelings, he is definitely the one I need, and I felt so safe with him. I rested on his shoulder for awhile and finally let go.
“Sorry, hope your shoulder isn’t too sore right now.” I guiltily said
“Don’t worry, I’m fine.” Ron replied with a smile
“It’s late; you should go home and rest.” I told him
“I want to stay here with you for a while.” Ron answered
“Look at you; you can barely keep your eyes open. Go home and sleep.” I demanded
“Are you sure you can stay here all alone?” Ron asked
“Yes, I’m sure.” I replied
“Okay then, I promise that I’ll come pick you up tomorrow okay?” He asked
“Okay.” I smiled at him
“Bye.” He said as he kissed me gently on my forehead and left.
I was so glad that we’re together now; it feels so good to have him besides me to support me through all this. I wouldn’t know what I would do without him. I then looked at the crystal glass heart necklace that Ron gave me, which I was wearing around my neck. I looked at it and smiled, it was like having Ron right beside me.

++Raymond’s POV
Okay, I’m going to take Qian’s advice, which is sit down and have a serious talk with Tavia. Something’s wrong with her but she’s just not telling me. After work, I came and pick Tav up and we went to dinner at an Italian restaurant.
“Why aren’t you eating your pasta?” Tavia asked me while we were at the restaurant.
“Oh, I’m not that hungry.” I replied
“Well hungry or not, you should eat. If you don’t eat at the right time your stomach’s going to hurt.” Tavia said
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” I answered as I force myself to finish the pasta.
After dinner, Tavia and I took a stroll around a park. I wanted to bring up the subject, but whenever I wanted I was always disturbed by Tavia talking about something else. Finally, I had the moment.
I stopped walking and faced her; her hand was still in mine “Tavia, I think we need to talk.”
“Sure, we can talk.” Tavia replied “About what?”
“About you.”
“Me?” Tavia asked
“Yes you.” I replied “Let’s sit down over here first.” I then led her to a nearby bench.
“Why all of a sudden you want to talk about me Ray?” Tavia asked confusedly
“Are you okay Tavia?” I asked her “And please don’t say ‘I’m fine’ or ‘It’s nothing.’ You gave me that many times already, I want the truth.”
“That IS the truth.” Tavia responded “Why do you think I have a problem?”
“You’ve been so quiet and always have your mind on something else and you barely seem happy when you’re with me. I just want to know what’s going on because I’m sick of having to face this problem whenever we go on a date.” I explained
Tavia sighed and replied “I just have some family problems that are making me unhappy.”
“Well, if you do then you can tell me. I’m your boyfriend and I want to help you when you have problems.” I said “Do you understand?”
“I know you care about me Raymond, but this family problem of mine is some personal business, and I cannot tell anyone. Even you…” Tavia replied
I didn’t know what else to say but sighed.
“I’m sorry, this problem can only be known in my family, and I hope you understand. But you don’t have to worry anymore because it’s almost solved.”
“Really?” I asked
“Yeah…” Tavia replied “And I promise you that the next time I have problems, I will definitely tell you. I won’t be keeping anything from you anymore okay?”
“You have to keep your promise.” I told her
“I will.” Tavia smiled happily as she hugged me. I was so glad to see her smile again; I just hope that she can promise me.
I let go of the hug then said “Let’s go eat some sweet congee to celebrate!”
“Celebrate what?” Tavia asked
“I don’t know…that you are happy again?” I asked back
Tavia laughed and replied “Okay, let’s celebrate, but why do we have to eat sweet congee? I’m telling you, those things are not good for you.”
“I know I know, but it’s the best snack. Please Tavia?” I begged her as I pouted
Tavia giggled at my ridiculousness and said “Okay okay, we’ll go eat sweet congees”
I grinned at her “I told you that you’re the best girlfriend ever!”
We drove to the sweet congee shop and ate some there, I was happy that Tavia didn’t complain a lot about the congees this time, she was actually enjoying it too which was great. Qian’s idea worked, thanks to her Tavia and I are now okay. I should buy her a red bean congee just to thank her for it. Yeah, she’ll be so happy. After Tavia and I finished our congees, I drove Tavia home and then I drove to Qian’s house to give her the red bean congee that is her favorite.
I got to her front door and knocked on the door, moments later Qian opened the door to let me in, but she didn’t greet me yet she was occupied with a phone call.
“Yeah, I know. Okay, I’ll call you back later Sammul, bye!” Qian said into the phone as she hung up
“Talking to Sammul?” I asked
“Yeah…got a problem?” Qian asked as she gave me a glare
“I thought you told me that you don’t like him.” I said
“I don’t, we’re just close, like you and me.” Qian replied
“Yeah, suuuure…” I said
“Hey, I thought we already had this conversation.” Qian said looking up at me
“Okay okay, I’ll shut up.” I replied
“Good. Anyways, what makes you come up here so late?” Qian asked
“To give you your reward.” I replied quickly
“Reward?” Qian asked confusedly
“Yeah, thanks for your advice, Tavia told me about her problem and now we’re okay.” I responded
“Really? What was her problem?” Qian asked curiously
“I’m not telling you.”
“Fine then.” Qian responded as she rolled her eyes at me “So, what’s my reward?”
“Here.” I said as I handed her the bag.
Qian opened it and a big grin came across her face “Red bean congee!”
“I knew you’d like it.” I replied smiling at her excitement
“Thank you so much, I was craving for some the whole day already!” Qian shouted as she reached up and hugged me. She finally realized what she did then let go “Uhh…sorry about that, I got a bit too excited.”
I laughed and replied “Yeah, I can see that.”
I could see Qian’s face, she was slightly blushing.
“Look, you’re blushing!” I teased
“No, I’m not!” Qian shouted as she took her hands and covered her face.
“Yes you are, right there!” I said as I pointed to a part of her cheek.
She slapped my finger and shouted “Ima get you Raymond Lam!!” She then started chasing me all over the house, I ran as I laughed of how much fun I was having. Suddenly I tripped over the carpet that was on the ground and land onto the floor, Qian tripped also and she landed right on top of me. I lifted my head from the ground to see how Qian is, and when I got up her face was just right there, only a few inches away from mine. It was at that point that I noticed how pretty she is. I never noticed that before, but now that our faces were so close, I can see it. Her bright big eyes glistened from the light, her pink cheeks, and small lips were just adorable, and her skin looked so soft and white like fresh snow that just felled from the sky. We looked into each other’s eyes; I couldn’t help but kept having my attention on her. We both then snapped back to reality and Qian stood up, her cheeks even rosier than before.
“It’s late, you should be heading home by now.” Qian told me
“Right.” I agreed. Without even saying good bye or looking at her, I immediately ran to the door and went out. For some reason, I felt awkward and uneasy like her too. Is it what I’m thinking it is? No, no it can’t be. I’m with Tavia, I’m with Tavia.
