Ivy and Vicki followed Tyler to a bar. When they entered it, Ivy decided to ask “Why are we here?”
Tyler turned to the girls “Breakfast of course.” He walked straight to the bar.
Vicki pulled him by the arm “You’re gonna have a drink for breakfast?”
He threw his head back with a laugh “No, no…silly girl.” He patted her on the head like she was 12 “I just want to tell me friend about last night.” Tyler began walking away.
“I didn’t know he had friends in bars?” Ivy asked out loud.
Vicki widened her eyes at her friend “I don’t think that’s what we should be concentrating on.”
“You’re right.” Ivy nodded reasonably “Maybe he can get us free drinks next time?” her eyes lit up.
“You’re hopeless.” Vicki muttered and walked towards Tyler, she was hoping he wouldn’t exaggerate the story too much. But to her despair, he was going into detail.
Tyler leaned onto the bar with a cool aura “Yeah…she said I was amazing!” he gushed to his friend who looked like he was holding in laughter. Tyler glanced over at Vicki and then pulled her over “Go ahead, ask her for yourself.”
Bob pointed at Vicki “You slept with her?” he could not hold the chuckles anymore “Are you sure you weren’t dreaming, Ty?”
“Go ahead…tell him Vicki.” Tyler said coolly.
Vicki turned to Ivy but she was already leaning over the bar and gazing at the drinks “Yeah…he was good.” She said unconvincingly.
“See!” Tyler pointed. He stuck his chin in the air “Who’s the man now?”
Bob nodded “Okay…I believe you.”
Tyler smiled “Good…now pass on the word.” He nodded to Vicki “Let’s go, babe.”
“Babe?” Vicki frowned as she walked over and nudged Ivy “Did you hear that?”
“Yeah, a kamakazie sounds great right now.” Ivy looked deliriously at the alcohol lined up behind the bar.
Vicki pulled her friend by the arm “Come on, addict!!” Down the street, the three walked into the deli shop as they ordered sandwiches. Tyler got up to retrieve their food “What are we going to do?” Vicki asked.
“Come back tonight to that bar and get a real drink.” Ivy concluded.
“NO!! About Mr. Ego!” she pointed her thumb to Tyler.
“Oh…him.” Ivy shrugged “I kinda like him…at first I thought I would hate him but he’s actually cool. He can get me free drinks!”
Vicki shook her head at her friend. Her eyes wandered and they landed on a certain face she hasn’t seen for days “Oh my God!!!” she hushed while picking up her purse to hide her face.
Ivy leaned in “What?” she whispered calmly.
“It’s him!!” Vicki peeked over her purse and surely Mr. Perfect was sitting there drinking coffee with half an eaten sandwich “He’s sooo dreamy.” She gushed while giggling like a school girl.
Ivy turned her head up and looked at the guy who turned to her with a slight nod “Who the hell would wear a suit to a deli???” she said out loud.
Vicki reached across the table and clamped her hand over her friend’s mouth “Shh!!!”
Tyler returned to the table with a tray of food “Why are we hushing Ga Jei?”
“Nothing…we were just playing a game.” Vicki replied nervously. She widened her eyes at Ivy and shook her head.
“Hey Ty…you see that guy in the suit?” Ivy asked with her head nodding.
Tyler looked around the place “Where?”
She looked at him exasperatedly “The only weirdo in the place!” she pointed her finger at the handsome man.
Vicki lowered herself into the seat “Oh God...this isn't happening..."
Tyler looked at him and then turned to his sister “What about him?”
“Vicki’s got the hots for him. You gonna let that guy hit on your woman?” Ivy asked incredulously “I wouldn’t.” she ignored the evil red eyes Vicki was throwing her. Instead she gave her friend a thumbs up sign and winked her eye.
“Oh really?” Tyler got up as he walked over to the guy.
Vicki sat up and leaned in closer to Ivy “What are you doing?!!! Are you crazy??” she asked angrily.
“Don’t you want to see what Ty will do?” Ivy asked.
“No!” Vicki hissed.
“Well, I do.” Ivy moved her chair back and rushed over to her brother who towered over the guy with his arms crossed.
Tyler looked down at the guy “I hear you've been hitting on my lady.”
The distinguished man looked up calmly at Tyler “Have a seat.” He pointed. Tyler didn’t lose eye contact with the guy as he moved the seat back with his foot and sat down like it was a thrown. Ivy began giving him a massage as if he was ready for a fight. The guy smiled “Now tell me what this all about.”
Tyler turned up to his sister “I guess his hearing is not that good.” Ivy grinned but her eyes were moving over the stranger’s body, he was very handsome. No wonder Vicki was dying over him, not to mention his aura oozed of high importance “…Ga Jei…Ga Jei!” Tyler was trying to get her attention.
She tore her eyes away from the guy and looked at her brother “What?”
He looked annoyed as he shook his head “Nothing.” He turned back to the guy “Anyways, that woman…” he spun in his seat and pointed at the red faced Vicki “is mine. Remember her face.” He threatened, “If I catch you following her again, I’ll kick your ass!”
“Talking about ass…let me see if you have one.” Ivy nodded at the guy with a tough face.
“What?” Tyler looked up at his sister.
“Oops…did I say that out loud?” Ivy giggled.
The guy was not at all bothered by her question or by Tyler’s threats. He found it absolutely amusing “If you give me a smile, I’ll show you my…ASS.” He pronounced the word seductively.
Vicki must have had super hearing because she sprinted over “I can’t miss this.” She sighed.
Tyler looked bored as he got up “I don’t need to see some guy’s ass…” he prepared to leave but turned and found the two still gawking at the guy. Ivy tilted her head down but her eyes met the stranger’s as she smiled widely. The guy nodded as he got up and shifted his suit jacket aside. He bent over to pick up his suitcase while Vicki and Ivy squealed, “My ass is cuter.” Tyler grumbled as he watched the stranger leave. He turned to the girls and nodded politely.
“Oh God…I have to sit.” Vicki pulled out a chair. Her breathing was slowly contained “Wow…I thought I saw stars a minute ago.”
Ivy crossed her arms “He’s mine.” She nodded.
“NO! I saw him first!!!” Vicki yelled a little too loud.
“Like I’m gonna pass on that perfect piece of ass.” Ivy rolled her eyes.
“You don’t like men.” Vicki complained.
“So?” Ivy was taunting her. She knew Vicki was crazy about the guy, but inside Ivy didn’t really care for the guy too much. She was just trying to get Vicki to gather up the guts to approach her Mr. Perfect.
“That’s not fair!!” Vicki whined.
Ivy returned to the table with Tyler, who had long returned to eat his sandwich “Alls fair in love and war.” She said coolly.
************
Later that night, the three returned after a full day of nonsense. They walked into the apartment to find Ben sitting on the couch watching television “Hey.”
“Don’t you ever go home?” Ivy asked with frustration “You live right across the hall!” she pointed out.
“I like it here.” He said casually “What are you guys up to?”
Tyler couldn’t pass up the moment as he rushed over to Ben “I lost my virginity last night.” He announced.
Vicki gaped at him in shock “You don’t have to tell everyone in Tong Lau Wan!!”
Ben smiled knowingly “Really? With her?”
Tyler nodded “Yup…I was amazing…” his brows flicked up and down “If you know what I mean.”
Ivy rolled her eyes “No, he doesn’t because he’s incompetent.” Ben turned to her slowly with narrowed eyes. Ivy instantly covered her mouth “Oops!” she widened her eyes apologetically “Sorry…”
“Oh my gosh….so it is true…” Vicki pointed at Ben.
“No. It’s not.” Ben replied ever so calmly.
Tyler stood up on the couch and began waving at everyone “Wait…I’m not done! I was amazing!!!” he yelled at the top of his lungs.
Vicki took in a deep breath as she walked over and yanked him down by the arm “Okay, I’ve had enough! What is with your big ego??” she shook her head at him in shock “You didn’t even remember what happened, how do you know you were ‘amazing’?” she spat harshly.
“You told me.” Tyler said innocently.
“Do you always believe what you hear?!” Vicki asked, her eyes were bulging out “Well, let me tell you what happened. I slept on the floor next to you the whole time!! Nothing happened…I was just trying to help you turn into a man. Ivy and I thought that if this plan worked, maybe your ego will be salvaged. But who knew it would sky rocket?”
Tyler turned to his sister who was covering her smiles unsuccessfully “You came up with the plan?” his voice was quivering.
Ivy shrugged “So? But it was mostly Vicki’s idea.”
Ben shook his head sadly at the three “You guys need help.”
But Vicki wasn’t done, she was on a rampage “Really? WE need help. Who’s the guy that’s in love with Ivy that can’t find enough balls to come out and say it but he has to fake that he was drunk last night??”
“WHAT?!!” Ivy’s voice screeched.
Tyler was now grinning “This is good!” he nodded for Vicki to continue “What else?”
“What else?” Vicki chuckled “He’s NOT an image consultant.”
“HUH???” Ivy and Tyler asked in unison.
“Yeah…he’s really a talent scout.” Vicki pointed out.
“Well, so are you!” Ben widened his eyes at her “So much for the plan huh? Partner.” He spat.
“Partner?” Ivy whispered. She looked at the two with much hatred.
It was then that Vicki realized what damage she just did. She and Ben quickly got up as they put up their hands in defense “Now Ivy…remember, I’ve been your friend the whole time. I didn’t do anything to hurt you.” Vicki explained on her behalf.
Ben then chimed in “If you think about it. I didn’t do anything to harm you either…I would never do that…I really like you, Ivy.” Ben said earnestly. Ivy got off her seat as she began stepping towards them like a tiger ready to attack “At first I thought you were really disgusting and obnoxious and annoying and not to mention—”
“You might want to stop now.” Vicki advised.
“But when I spent more time with you, I realized what a generous and loving heart you really had. Trust me…I didn’t want to lie to you.” Ben concluded.
Ivy nodded calmly “Is that all?”
Ben and Vicki exchanged glances “Yeah…I think so.” Ben said, but in his gut he knew she was about to do something to them.
“Ty…” Ivy brought out her hand and he jumped over the couch as he raced into the kitchen. Vicki looked scared as she hid behind Ben. Seconds later, Tyler returned with a broom as he handed it to his sister. She gripped it and began attacking Ben without warning. She hit him with the sweeper part while yelling “Get out!! Jerks!! Get outttt!! TRAITORS!!!!!”
Tyler winced painfully when he saw the broom hit Ben on the head with a clunk sound. The two backed up to the door and found their way outside. Ivy’s chest was heaving up and down, she grunted while the broom hailed into the door. She marched her way into her room with Tyler looking very scared “No one’s going to help me get Tara back?” he whimpered.
