Kevin slowly opened his eyes to find Alec, Bosco, and Louis hovering above him. They were directly staring down at Kevin, each with a frivolous grin present on their handsome faces.
�So Hot Shot. Did you have a nice dream?� Louis teased as Kevin rubbed his eyes. He looked around only to find the couch empty, well, a couple of wrappers lying here and there, but no sign of Niki anywhere. Kevin felt blood rush to his ears as the boys snickered at him.
�If you�re looking for that cute girl from last night, she left a couple hours ago,� Alec informed as he reached into his pocket pulling out a note. �She told me to give this to you,� he continued while handing Kevin a piece of paper.
Kevin snatched the paper out of Alec�s hands and recognized Niki�s handwriting instantly. The note reads;
�Hey Kevin, didn�t mean to fall asleep last night at your house. Also, sorry for leaving without waking you up, but I needed to get ready for work. Don�t want to give you a reason to bite my head off. By the way , you look cute when you drool. =)
Lovee,
Niki�
�Did she just write �love�?� Kevin felt his entire face turn beet red.
�So are you gonna tell us about her or not? Did you guys do anything naughty before we came home?� Bosco chuckled, winking at Kevin.
�Ya, and she�s right, you do look cute when you drool,� Louis added. They all burst out into hearty laughter while Kevin jumped up from the couch, playfully punching Louis in the arm.

�So where were you last night?� Michelle asked as Niki walked out from the bathroom.
Niki tried to sound casual and replied, �Uh, nowhere, I accidentally fell asleep at a friend�s house.� Her voice sounded drab but Niki�s eyes gave her away. Her face had the word excitement written all over. Her cheeks were flush red and Michelle could tell this had something to do with a boy.
�A friend's house? Charlene is the only friend you have in Hong Kong. And I know she wasn�t with you last night cuz she was with my buddy, Nicholas, celebrating their anniversary.� Michelle carried on as if she was interrogating a suspect.
�Hello? I can make new friends can�t I,� Niki retaliated, trying to cover up the truth. She wasn�t ready to let her family know about Kevin just yet. She needed to make sure he felt the same way or else she would never be able to hear the end of it from her sisters. �By the way, where is everyone?� Niki changed the subject, hoping to get Michelle off her back.
Michelle glanced at her watch and replied, �Vicky went to drop off the puppy at Joey�s and Jessica went to work early. I have no clue where Bobby is. He�s usually up early to make breakfast, but today I had to make it myself.�
Niki was about to pop a piece of french toast in her mouth but immediately dropped it once Michelle mentioned that she made breakfast. �Ewww...you made this? Lucky I didn�t put it in my mouth yet.�
Michelle made a face and threw a spoon in Niki�s direction. She missed and hit the milk carton instead. It toppled over and made a splash all over the floor.
�You stupid brats! How many times did I tell you about eating and playing at the same time!?� Bobby was exploding as he eyed the puddle of milk on the hard wood floor. He just woke up and looked terrible...like he hadn't slept in days.
�Uh, gotta go. Bye!� Michelle instantaneously dropped her fork and sprinted out the door.
Niki followed right behind and yelled, �Me too! Bye, Bob.� Bobby was left alone in the apartment to clean up after his messy nieces. This was turning out to be a terrible week. He was still heartbroken from last night�s visit to Sonija.

Meanwhile, Vicki and Joey was sitting in Starbucks chatting about Joey's vacation.
�So tell me about your honeymoon,� Vicki said cheerfully in between sips of coffee.
�It was great. And before I forget, here, I got you something,� Joey said as she pulled a pretty, purple velvet box out of her purse.
�That�s what I was looking forward to seeing,� Vicki said jokingly as she accepted the gift.
Joey pretended to be upset and cried, �Psht, what a great friend you are.� She gave Vicki a playful punch and continued merrily, �So was my puppy a good boy when I was gone?�
�Of course. And he�s a wonderful match maker.� Vicki�s cheeks turned rosy as her thoughts drifted back to her time with Alec.
Joey looked at her best friend in surprise and teased, �Ooh La La. Matchmaker? Should I expect a wedding invitation from you anytime soon?�
Vicki beamed and shyly said, �Shut up...We�ve only been together for barely a week. I�ll introduce you guys sometime and you can give me some feedback.�
Joey smiled at her friend and replied, �Awww...of course. I have to make sure the guy is good enough for my girl.� Joey paused and said, �Hey, wait a sec, I gotta use the ladies�s room.�
Joey was gone for about two minutes when Vicki felt a light tap on her shoulder. �Back already? That is so unlike you. You usually take hours in the wash...� Vicki jerked her head around and to her surprise, the person standing behind her wasn�t Joey.
�Jimmy?� Vicki�s voice was full of bewilderment mixed with a bit of agitation.
�Surprised to see me?� He replied. He looked like a kid in the candy shop as he eyed at Vicki.
She smiled uneasily and responded, �Uh, kinda. What are you doing here?�
He held up a cup of coffee and answered, �Same thing as you...Morning coffee.� Jimmy�s voice had a hint disappointment when he saw another cup of sitting at Vicki�s table.
�Did you get the roses I sent you?� Jimmy�s question struck Vicki like a lighting bolt. She was so not prepared for this.
After a moment of dead air, Vicki finally acknowledged Jimmy�s question with another question.�You mean you sent me the dozen pink roses?� Hey eyes were big and round as she stared at him in amazement. He was the last person she would expect to send her roses. After all, she's only met him once.
�Ya...is that...ok?� Jimmy looked down at his feet. He�s usually not very shy around women, but this girl made him feel so intimidated. Vicki was the type of girl who had the power to turn playboys into obedient puppy dogs.
Vicki swallowed hard and coyly said, �Umm...I appreciate the gesture but...�
�You have a boyfriend?� Vicki answered Jimmy�s question with a nod. He felt like his heart was ripping in half and shattering inside his chest. He felt foolish because how could a girl like Vicki not have a boyfriend?
Sorry was the only thing Vicki could manage to say to him. If only she hadn�t met Alec than maybe Jimmy would have a slight chance. But now, her whole heart was already taken away by someone else.
�Well. What can I say. He�s a very lucky guy,� Jimmy smiled forcefully then proceeded in a lighter tone, �But since you�re not married yet, you cant stop me from trying right?�
Vicki let out a small giggle that sounded like music to Jimmy�s ear. �Ok, but I better warn you, my boyfriend is pretty fractious,� Vicki joked.
Jimmy laughed and said, �Oh really? Well then I can arrest him since I work at the HK Police Department.�
Vicki�s eyes widened, �You do? Is that how...�
�Is that how I knew where to send you the roses? Yup...I just didn�t have to time to hit on you at work,� Jimmy teased.
�Thank god, for a moment there, I thought you were stalking me,� Vicki felt a lot better now that everything was out in the open. Jimmy seemed like a pretty decent guy. If they cant be lovers, being friends isn�t so bad.

Louis entered the elevator to find Jessica leaning against the back wall near the corner. They spent an entire sleepless night thinking about each other and the occurrence last night in the parking lot. Their hearts skipped a beat when their eyes met.
�Morning.� Louis initiated the first response after a second of uncomfortable silence.
�Morning,� Jessica replied coldly. She didn�t want to appear needy, so in other words, maybe she was trying to play hard to get.
�So did you sleep well last night?� Louis was trying to make conversation. He didn�t want to bring up or give her a chance to bring up what happened last night. Even he couldn�t figure out what actually went on. All he knew was that he was not ready to make a commitment. Typical guy.
Before Jessica could answer, a bunch of people entered the elevator, blocking the space between Louis and herself. Maybe it was a sign saying it just wasn�t meant to be.

Joyce and her team had successfully arrested Scar Face, the right hand man of the Red Dragon black society. Ron had the biggest part in catching this criminal. He had been given compliments from the superiors all day, which caused his head to swell up like a watermelon. Michelle looked at him in disgust as he exagerated his story to a bunch of female cops surrounding him in the cafeteria.
"Will you look at that guy? He acts like he just saved the President of the United States. And those stupid girls are eating it up," Michelle snorted.
"If you ask me, I think someone's jealous," Fiona chortled.
Michelle retorted, "Are you kidding me? Don�t make me dump this coffee on you."
Their conversation was interrupted by Joyce, telling them to report back to the unit for a brief meeting.
--
�...And we are one step closer to fully shut down their operation in Hong Kong. Therefore as a treat, I have decided to treat you guys to drinks tonight...all thanks to Ron and his fast reaction.�
After Joyce finished her statement, hoots and hollers could be heard coming from either side of the room. It was once in a blue moon that Joyce was in satisfied enough to treat her team to drinks. Ron was grinning from ear to ear at his acomplishments.
--
Joyce and her crew made it to The Starlight Bar directly after work, except for Sammul. He had some family issues needed to be taken care of at home. It was unfortunate for him since he did want to spend more time with his dream girl, Michelle, outside of work. Fiona was also quite disappointed Sammul couldn�t make it. She was sad for the same reasons but the names were changed around.
It's funny how after a few drinks, everyone was buzzed and having a great time. Except for Ron that is. He was made the designated driver because he lost at rock-paper-scissors against everyone. He was fuming because this was sort of supposed to be his celebration. Michelle was also unusually quiet that evening, which gave Ron a small break. She was also drinking more than anyone else that night. Considering Ron was the only sober one, he actually noticed something wrong with her. When the song �We Belong Together� appeared on the karaoke screen, he thought he saw a streak of tear glistening on Michelle�s face. Ron took his attention away from her for a couple seconds and when he looked back, she was no where to be seen.
Michelle has been gone for quite awhile when he began to worry about her. Although Ron couldn�t stand her, she was still a girl. A very drunk girl. Who knows what could happen to her. No matter how bad she treated him, he had to put that aside. He was a pretty decent guy after all.
Ron searched around for Michelle near the rest room area, but no luck. Gigi walked out from the ladies room to find Ron frantically running around like a hen giving birth. �Wassup,� Gigi asked as she approached Ron.
�Have you seen Michelle?� Ron questioned Gigi with his voice was filled with worry. He had no clue why he was in such deep perplexity because of Michelle, the devil woman.
Gigi bit her bottom lip and answered, �I thought I saw her run outside through the back door, but I�m not so sure...Is something wrong?�
Before Gigi could finish her sentence Ron dashed out the back exit leading out to the back alley. In the darkness of the alley, Ron could barely make out the shape of anything. Only the moon was his source of light. The sound of weeping could be heard from the near distance as Ron strained his ears. He followed the sound and it led him directly to what he was looking for. Michelle.
�Are you ok?� Ron whispered as he knelt down to a sobbing girl. She was crouched down and her face was buried into her knees. Her sobs were low and quiet. She was no longer the bitchy women he despised. Ron didn�t know why but it broke his heart to see her like this. Michelle continued to cry and the only thing Ron could do is stare at her in sympathy. He remained in that position for about ten seconds when suddenly, to his surprise, Michelle threw her arms around him and fell onto his burly shoulders.
�Why..did..he leave..me? I loved him with all my heart. It�s so unfair. Why couldn�t it happen to me instead!?� Michelle was yelling in between sobs. Ron had no idea what to do in this situation. Nothing like this had ever happened to him. He gently placed his hand on her head and stroked her hair gently. �Raymond...I miss you so much. Why couldn�t it happen to me instead,� Michelle repeated.
Ron felt like Michelle had shed her tough girl exterior and was replaced with a softer, more fragile appearance. He could feel his jacket getting soaked with her tears. After awhile, she had started to quiet down and was no longer sobbing or even moving.
�Michelle?� Ron whispered. There was no reply. �Michelle,� Ron said again, a little louder this time. He felt her body go limp as she fell backwards into his arms. The poor thing has fallen asleep. She was now lying helplessly in his arms. The moon glistened to reveal the rosy colour of her cheeks. Michelle was surely very wasted. He's never realized how much beauty was present on her face until that moment.
Ron slipped his arms under her legs and carried her to his car. She needed him more than anyone else right now.

�Achoo,� Niki sneezed as she reached for a box of Kleenex. She was the only person left in the unit since she still needed to catch up on some reports. Everyone had already left and she was the only person left.
�I see you didn�t take your medication today, huh?� A deep voice advanced from behind Niki. The voice caught her by surprise. She recognized it was Kevin right away. Butterflies were fluttering about in the stomach as he neared her desk. "So where is your medicine?" He asked again.
�Aiya...stop acting like my mother. I get enough of that at home from my uncle. I took it this morning,� Niki snapped. She was not in the mood for this.
�Oh please. I know you didn't take it yet. You left the prescription in my car last night,� Kevin held up the little piece of paper. He was also hiding something behind his back. Kevin pulled out a bottle and held it in front of Niki�s nose. �For you milady.�
�Sheesh...do I have to? I hate this stuff. It�s so bitter,� Niki muttered a whined, covering her mouth with both hands.
�I knew you would say that,� Kevin paused and reached into his back pocket, �that�s why I bought you some honey to mix with the medicine.�
Niki looked at him suspiciously. She raised an eyebrow and said, �Why are you being nice to me?�
�Why do you always ask me that question? I�m always nice to you.� Kevin didn't exactly know the answer either. He's never treated anyone like this, not even his brother. Kevin pulled out a little cup and poured in the medicine. He also carefully added in a small quantity of honey, making sure it was enough to dissolve the bitter taste of the drug. Kevin held out the cup and said, �Bottoms up.�
Niki got up from her chair and ran to the other side of the room. �No way in hell am I drinking that...that thing you mixed.�
�Come on, it�s good,� Kevin said as he pretended to drink from the cup. �See nothing to it.� He slowly walked up to Niki as she dodged out of the way.
�Don�t come near me with that thing,� Niki screamed.
�Fine, I�m leaving it here. I better see this cup empty when I get back.� Kevin carefully placed the medicine on a desk and backed out of the room.
When he was out of site, Niki walked up to the cup and sneered, �Psht, of course it�ll be empty. It�ll be empty cuz I�m dumping it out!�
Before Niki could pick up the cup, Kevin popped back into the room and grabbed Niki�s waist. He sat down on a chair and pulled her onto his lap, seizing the cup of medicine at the same time. He held it up to her face and forced it into her mouth. His plan was very going smoothly. Kevin was certainly overpowering her. Niki had no choice but to take in that awful taste. Yet surprisingly, it didn�t taste as bad as she thought.
�Haha, you think I was stupid enough to think you were gonna take the medicine. You gotta give me some credit here. I know you better than that,� Kevin laughed as he watched Niki digest the drug.
�Oh sorry, I didn�t know you guys were still here.� Niki and Kevin turned around to see Edison, face white with shock. Niki was still nestled on Kevin's lap, but when she saw Edison, she quickly jumped up and said, �I was only taking medicine.� It was actually hard to believe if you were standing at Edison�s angle. It looked like they were kissing each other. Kevin just sat still, looking pretty embarrassed. Two embarrassments in one day was not fun at all.
�I just needed to get a file I left behind. I�ll leave you guys alone now,� Edison grabbed the file lying on his desk and scurried out the door. Both Kevin and Niki was red as a tomato.
