�I�ll have triple scoops of the mint chocolate chip on the waffle cone please,� Michelle said in a chirpy sing song voice to an elderly lady behind the counter. She eyed the many different flavours of ice cream behind the glass and was practically drooling all over the tiles in the shop.
Ron stared at Michelle�s child-like face in amusement as he chuckled, �Triple scoops? You know you shouldn�t eat that much before bedtime right?�
Michelle�s voice went from sweet to bitter as she shot Ron a don�t-tell-me-what-to-do look. �Since when did you become my mom? It�s your fault you lost to me at the game,� she reputed.
Ron held up both arms, pretending to surrender to Michelle. He didn�t actually lose. Ron purposely steered his car in the wrong direction in order to hit the boulder, resulting in second place. Knowing Michelle, she would tell all the guys in the squad she beat Ron at his favourite video game. Ron knew he would never be able to hear the end of it from the guys. But if letting her win meant he could spend more time with her, then losing face was worth it.
Michelle playfully patted Ron on the head as if he was an obedient puppy. The lady in the apron looked at the immature couple and interrupted by saying, �And what can I get for you, young man?�
Ron shook his head abruptly and said, �No thanks, I�m good.� Ron couldn�t even stand sucking on an ice cube without getting a brain freeze let alone eating balls of flavoured ice.
�He�ll have double scoops of cookie dough,� Michelle blurted, smiling sweetly at the lady. The lady nodded and scooped the ice cream into two round balls and handed the cone to Ron. He had no choice but to accept. Ron reached into his wallet to pay for the two ice cream cones as Michelle gave him her most angelic smile while fluttering her eye lashes continuously. She obviously wasn�t done tantalising him.
Ron could feel his knees get weak as he gazed upon her alluring eyes. She could no longer trigger his anger, but instead, she released a flock of butterflies hidden in the pit of his stomach. It was a feeling Ron had never experienced before.
After the two left the ice cream shop, Michelle was instantaneously devouring her ice cream with monstrous licks. Ron was clutching tightly on to his cone, afraid that it would grow teeth and bite him.
Michelle studied Ron�s uneasy face and asked, �What�s wrong, you don�t like cookie dough?�
Ron stuttered as his eyes twitched, �Uh...no, I-I just don�t want to e-eat sweets before bedtime.�
�Come on, it�s only 12:30, I see you watching TV till 4:00 am sometimes.� Michelle could feel heat disperse across her cheeks as she realized what she just said.
Ron�s eyes lit up in excitement as he replied, �Whoa, somebody�s a peeping tom. Are you aware I watch TV naked sometimes?� He tried to resist the temptation to tease her, but failed.
Michelle�s cheek was now the colour of a ripe tomato. As if on impulse, she raised her hand and slapped Ron in the arm. �Ow, I�m kidding. No need to get violent,� Ron wailed as he rubbed the sore spot Michelle just created.
�I was brushing my teeth and accidentally looked over to your room,� Michelle squealed, trying to hide the embarrassment in her voice, �Shut up and eat your ice cream before I bitch slap you all the way to Shanghai.�
�Ok, ok, calm down,� Ron snickered. He slowly held the cone up to his lips and carefully placed the ice cream onto his tongue. To his surprise, instead of getting a brain freeze, Ron felt a strange sensation rush through his body. He kind of liked it.

�Thanks for taking me home, sorry I ruined your night,� Niki said as she unbuckled the seatbelt of Jack�s Mustang.
He gave her a reassuring swueeze on the shoulder and replied, �No problem. What are friends for?�
Niki responded by leaning over and giving Jack a grateful hug, �Thanks. Don�t know what I�d do without you. You�re like brother I never had.�
�Haha, it feels so good hearing that from the girl you were head over heels for,� Jack replied sarcastically, rubbing her back at the same time. If he couldn�t be her lover, than being someone she could turn to in her time of need would suffice.
Niki waved goodbye to Jack and pushed the glass doors to her complex. She entered the elevator and closed her eyes as she leaned onto the wall for support. The image of Kevin and Mandy was still freshly painted in her mind.

Michelle sat on the leather couch the next morning with her eyes glued to Sunday�s paper. Ron�s picture was plastered all over the front page. The recent arrest he made has gotten him into the limelight.
�His head must be the size of a watermelon now,� Michelle thought with a disgusted look drawn on her pretty face. �Yet, he did look sort of handsome.� Her train of thought was interrupted by the ringing of the telephone. She extended her arm reaching for the cordless sitting on the stand next to the couch.
�I�ll get it!� Vicki suddenly screamed from the other side of Michelle. She lunged on top of Michelle�s body, snatching the phone from underneath her hand. �Hello!� Vicki belowed, a little too loudly into the receiver.� She could feel her stomach sink as she handed the phone over to Michelle. �It�s for you,� Vicki said glumly, �it a guy.�
Michelle responded by giving Vicki a confused gaze. �Hello,� Michelle said awkwardly, after retrieving the phone from Vicki. Her eyes lit up when she realized who was on the other end of the line. �...You�re kidding right...Fine, but you owe me big time.�
About two minutes after Michelle had hung up and left, the sound of the telephone could be heard for the second time. Vicki immediately snatched the phone before if could hit the second ring.
�Hello!� she snapped, but a little quieter this time. Once again, the stupid phone had let her down. �JESSICA,� Vicki screamed at the top of her lungs, putting one hand over the receiver, �PHONE CALL!�
Jessica�s hair was still dripping with water as she stepped out from the bathroom with a soft, white towel wrapped around her model-like figure.
�Hello,� Jessica said as she held the phone to her ears, �Hold on, let me switch to my phone.� Jessica�s voice had a hint of naughtiness and a dash of sugar mixed together. She went into her room so she could speak to whoever was on the other line in privacy. Giggles could be heard coming from the behind the doors of the adjoined room. Never in Vicki�s life had she heard Jessica giggle like a school girl.
Vicki contorted as she thought back to what happened last night between her and Alec. Maybe she was being a little unreasonable but he still should�ve called! She looked at the clock hanging on the wall and said to herself, �I�ll give him till 1:00. If he still doesn�t call me then we are so over!�
The only thing Vicki was missing was a wart at the end of her nose. Her sweet, smiling face was replaced with a deadly scowl as she kept her eyes glued to the clock.

�Ok, what�s the big emergency?� Michelle sighed as she set foot into Ron�s apartment. His usually styled hair now reminded her of an untamed bush and the normally organized home looked like Katrina just hit it.
�Sorry, I didn�t mean to bother you, but this kid is driving me crazy!� Ron screamed as he ran his fingers through his hair, ruffling it even more. �I didn�t know who else to call. His mom had to go to stay in the hospital for a couple days and my sister offered to watch him.� Ron paused to take a breather and continued, �Sonija just got paged and left me in charge. I don�t know a thing about babysitting and I desperately needed help.�
Michelle�s voice had a tint of resentment as she said, �What about Tavia?�
Ron rolled his eyes and exclaimed, �Ha! Tavia? Babysit? She�ll kill the darn kid before if comes near her.�
Michelle gave in and groaned, �Fine, I�ll help you, but it comes with a price.�
�Fine anything! Just help me tame the beast.� Ron buried his head into Michelle�s arm, whimpering like a little girl.
Michelle scanned the apartment and asked, �Ok, so where is he?� This must kid must really be something to get Ron so rattled up.
He pointed towards the hallway closet and said, �In there,� he stammered, �he said he�s playing hide and seek with Mike.�
Michelle raised an eyebrow, �Mike?�
�His 'imaginary' friend,� Ron snorted, �And it�s almost time to feed the little monster. Oh ya, his name is Jacky, but he only responds to Pikachu.�
Michelle smiled as she walked to the closet. She loved little kids and always seem to have a way with them. She slid the door open to find an adorable little boy, no older than 5, crouched down behind the coats hanging in the closet. He couldn�t understand why Ron referred to him as the 'little monster.' Than again, he did refer to her as 'devil women.'
�Hey Pikachu. I�m Aunty Michelle, let�s go get some lunch ok?� Michelle said sweetly as she held out her hand to the little boy.
�You�re it Chelly,� Jacky said as he sprung up and slapped Michelle�s hand. He pushed her out of the way and dashed out of the closet. Ok, so maybe he wasn�t an angel but he was still cute.
Michelle played along and ran after him. The kid was faster than she expected, but an idea quickly popped into her head.
�Simon says freeze!� Michelle�s plan worked because Jacky stopped dead in his track.
Michelle took advantage of the golden opportunity and summoned, �Simon says go eat your lunch.� Worked like a charm. The little boy obediently ran towards Ron, who was setting a sandwich on the table.
�Whoa, you certainly have a way with kids,� Ron said, amused. Told ya.
Michelle smiled and replied, �Of course, kids love me.�
�So do I,� Ron thought to himself. But his daydream was suddenly interrupted by a swift kick to the shin. Jack laughed evilly as he took an enormous bite out of the grilled cheese sandwich.
�Ow. You...You.� Ron couldn�t swear in front of kids. Michelle couldn�t help but laugh at his misery.
�Ewww, this sandwich tastes like poo,� Jacky pouted as he threw the sandwich back onto the plate.
�Why you...do you know how long it took to make...�
Michelle cut in before Ron had a chance to explode, �Pikachu, if you finish the poo sandwich, I�ll make Ron take us to Ocean Park later.�
Ron stared at Michelle like she just committed a deadly sin. Ocean park with the little monster was not the Sunday he had in mind.
�Yayyy. I like you, Chelly. You're not a poo-poo head like Ron,� Jacky said cheerfully, picking the sandwich off the plate. He gobbled it down quickly while grinning at Michelle.
Michelle nodded her head in agreement, �You�re right, we can call him poo-poo head from now on.�
�Hey, no fair,� Ron pouted, �2 against 1.�

The long hand of the clock was pointing to the nine while the short hand was nearing the one. If someone was to drop a pin in the apartment, you could probably hear it echo. Niki and Vicki were the only people left in the home. Bobby was working his sorrows away while Jessica was somewhere wallowing in the splendour of love.
Niki was still in bed since she didn�t make it home until the wee hours of the morning. Actually, she was up awhile ago, but didn�t feel like getting out of bed since she wasn�t ready to face the harsh reality.
A ring from her cell could be heard coming from her handbag as Niki forced herself to roll out of bed.
�Hello,� Niki croaked into the cell. �Oh hi...what did you do now?...Fine, I�ll help you only because I know my sister loves you....bye, good luck.�
Niki hauled herself into the living room to find Vicki hovering over telephone. She was acting as if it had legs to run away.
�Vicki, can you go water the plants for me?� Niki yawned while stretching her arms.
Vicki stared at her sister like she was some nutcase, �Are you kidding? It was raining cats and dogs last night. You�re gonna flood the damn things.�
�Come on,� Niki whined, tugging at her sister�s arm, �the more water the better.�
�Why don�t you do it,� Vicki commanded, �I�m not your maid.�
�I can�t go outside to the balcony looking like this. Come on.� Niki managed to pulled Vicki to her feet and it took all her strength to force her onto the balcony.
�Ok, enjoy,� Niki said deviously after running back inside and closing the sliding door behind her.
Vicki stared at her sister like she was a lunatic, �She�s obviously suffering from the world�s worst hangover.�
Her attention was taken away by the sound of music coming from below. Out of curiosity, Vicki leaned over the railings to see what the commotion was. It took her awhile to make out what was going on beneath her balcony since her home was situated on twelfth floor. Vicki could feel her heart skip a beat when she realized it was Alec with a guitar serenading her from the parking lot beneath her complex.
Vicki couldn�t believe her eyes as she stared at Alec strumming away and singing �Truly, Madly, Deeply,� which was her favourite song. Vicki couldn�t help but laugh at how corny he was. She could feel a surge of emotions wash throughout her body, mostly consisting of happiness and embarrassment. People passing by were laughing at the love sick fool serenading to his girlfriend from below like Romeo did for Juliet. The anger that Vicki had kept bottled up inside of her was let lose as she gazed upon Alec and his puppy dog face.
�Just call me cupid,� Niki smiled approvingly, patting herself on the back. If only her love life was going as well as Vicki's...

Louis stood by the harbour, waiting for Jessica to come to the meeting place. He looked at his watch. Why do girls always have to be �fashionably� late? Louis looked up and smiled sheepishly when he saw his girlfriend walk up to him wearing a pair of baby blue Bermuda shorts and a black tank top. He�s only seen her in expensive designer suits and this is the first time he�s seen Jessica dressed casual. She looks absolutely adorable.
�What are you smiling at? You told me to dress down,� Jessica said, playfully punching Louis on the arm. He was wearing tanned flood pants with a light pink Polo shirt. Only Louis could pull off wearing a pink shirt and still look smoking hot.
�You look cute. You should dress like this more often,� Louis replied, grabbing Jessica�s hand and caressing it with his thumb.
She stuck out her tongue and retorted, �Since when did you become such a suck up?�
�I only suck up to you,� Louis replied, pulling her hands to his lips, placing a kiss on her baby soft skin.
�So where are we going?� Jessica asked as he led her down the pier.
�You�ll see,� Louis replied anxiously. He pulled a fisherman hat over his head and gave her a boyish grin, �Captain Louis is gonna take you someplace you�ll never forget.�

�I wanna go on the Pirate Ship,� Jacky whined, tugging on Ron�s hands. Michelle had somehow worked her charm and persuaded Ron to take Jacky to Ocean Park. It was the only way to get him to behave.
�No,� Ron growled, �You�re not old enough! Do you wanna get sick and throw up? I'll leave you here if you do!� Ron would make one terrible father.
�Wahhhh,� Jack bawled, �I wanna go on the Pirate ship.�
Michelle shot Ron a shut-up look and knelt down to Jacky's level and brushed his cheeks with her fingers. �How about we go on the Merry-go-round? That�s fun too,� Michelle suggested.
Jacky nodded as she took his hand and led him to the colourful parade of rotating horses.
Having the attention span of a gold fish, Jacky completely forgot about the Pirate Ship once he laid eyes upon the festive horses of the Merry-go-round. Michelle stood in line with Jack while Ron sat down on the bench, cooling himself with an electric hand held fan.
�You�re not coming?� Michelle turned around and asked,
Ron shook his head, �Nah, I�ll just sit and watch. I suffer from motion sickness.� Michelle rolled her eyes. She had urge to finger him for being so lazy, but she had to set a good example for Jacky.
Jacky chose a little pink horse once they boarded the merry-go-round. Michelle pointed and said, �Look, there�s uncle Ron. Wave.� Both Jacky and Michelle waved as they swiftly moved past him.
Ron smiled and waved back. He�s never seen such a gentle side of Michelle before. Each moment spent with her is a wondeful surprise. Ron had a smirk plastered on his handsome face as he watched Michelle with Jacky. If people didn�t know, they would mistaken Ron, Michelle, and Jacky to be one happy family.
�Your kid is really cute,� an elderly woman sitting next to Ron commented.
He was caught off guard, �I, uh, he�s...�
�And your wife is lovely,� the woman cut in, �You two make an absolutely adorable couple.�
He certainly agreed with that comment. �We do don�t we?� Ron had the most devious grin stapled to his face as he nodded.
