Kevin raced through a yellow light, moments before it had the chance to turn red. He stomped on the gas pedal, disregarding what the needle on the speedometer was pointing at. The windshield wiper spluttered as if telling Kevin to not drive so fast through the rain.
Once he reached the airport, Kevin ditched his expensive silver Porsche on the fire lane in front of the International Departure entrance. He didn�t care if he got towed, Niki was the only thing that occupied his mind at this moment.
Inside, Kevin raced from gate to gate, hoping to catch a glimpse of Niki. He would give anything just to see her sweet smiling face again.
Kevin desperately pulled the cell out of his back pocket after about five minutes of racing madly through the airport without finding any sign of Niki. Disparity swept over his body as he was forwarded to her voice mail. Kevin frustratingly snapped his phone shut as he dragged himself to a nearby bench, plopping down onto the empty seat before burying his face in his hands.
Kevin felt like crying but he reminded himself that men should only shed blood rather than tears. Stupid men and their large male ego.
He hopelessly looked around the airport for the last time before he mustered up all his energy to walk to the exit.
Luck appeared to be on his side, for Kevin thought he saw Niki walking towards Gate A on the far end of the airport, which so happened to be leading towards the terminal for a plane to America. There�s no way he could mistaken Niki�s signature Gucci purse. Kevin immediately sprung up from his seat and made a mad dash towards her direction, pushing helpless people put of his way.
�NIKI!� Kevin screamed at the top of his lungs, hoping to get her attention. She appeared to have headphones in her ears, which probably made it next too impossible for her to hear his scream.
He tried to bellow louder as he got closer to her position, �NIKI WAIT!� But it was too late.
Kevin could feel his heart being torn into a million pieces as he watched Niki�s back disappear past the entrance to Gate A. He felt his eyes swelling up with hot tears as he watched the doors slide shut behind the last passenger. It left Kevin standing there, yearning for something that was unreachable.

Jack took a long sip of his beer as a smile of satisfaction popped out from the corner of his mouth.
�You seem to be really happy at your friend�s misery,� a young female voice interrupted.
Jack stared at the owner of the voice, who so happened to be the bartender. She was young and very attractive, despite the fact that she was a brown nosing, eavesdropper.
�Aren�t you supposed to be serving drinks instead of butting into other people�s business?� Jack said sternly as he arched an eyebrow, glaring at the girl.
The bartender shrugged and replied, �Sorry, I guess it became a habit since most people who come in here are alcoholics or people with relationship problems. Bartending is kinda like being a shrink. People just tell you things you don�t wanna hear sometimes and now it�s hard to stop listening. But why am I telling you this? You�re a sadistic monster who laughs upon your friend�s misery.� She sure had a lot of breath for such a small person.
The bartender stuck out her tongue at Jack before she swirled around and turned her attention to a different customer. He smiled to himself as he gazed upon this intriguing girl. She was the first woman to grab his attention after he laid eyes on Niki.
Jack chuckled to himself when he learned what the bartender�s name was, thanks so Gigi. Kinda reminded of a clown�s name. A funny name for a cute girl-Bobo.

�What are you doing here?� A sweet and familiar voice trailed directly from behind Kevin. He abruptly turned around to find the person he wanted to see the most standing before his very eyes. Kevin blinked a couple times, making sure it wasn�t a hallucination. She was real, not an apparition, and she was standing right in front of him.
He seemed to have lost control over the muscles of his body because his legs carried him towards her without his mind able to comprehend what was happening until he was standing within centimetres of her. Kevin felt his arms automatically encircling her body, pulling her into his strong embrace. He missed the sweet scent of her perfume, the feel of her skin, and her enchanting smile.
Niki hated herself for not being able to pull away from Kevin. She forced herself to hate him. To yell at him. To slap him. To do something. Anything. But instead, Niki just closed her eyes as this moment was being etched into her soul.
�I was so afraid I was going to lose you, don�t you ever leave me again,� Kevin whispered with his arms still wrapped tightly around Niki�s body. �I love you...�
Niki could feel streaks of tears stream down her cheeks. She had dreamed of hearing those words from Kevin ever since the very first time he gave her a piggy back in that alley. It sounds even better now that he said those words himself. For real-not her imagination. So that�s what it feels like to have your dreams come true.
�I wasn�t going anywhere, I was only here to say bye to my uncle,� Niki responded as she looked at Kevin�s enthralling eyes while he stroked her cheeks with his thumb, wiping away her tears or joy. He always managed to take her breath away each time she looked at him.
Kevin stared at Niki with a stupefied expression after she finished her sentence, �But Jack said you were at the airport leaving for...� It finally hit him and he was finally able to connect the dots that Jack had discretely drawn out. Kevin had been misled by his buddy. In order to get him to confess his feelings towards Niki, this was the only way. Just call Jack, Cupid...Or is he?
Niki pulled away from Kevin and berated, �Wait a minute. You thought I was leaving Hong Kong? Is that why you�re here? So you didn�t mean any of the shit about loving me?�
Niki shook her head in disbelief and stormed away. So much for dreams coming true, but she was famous for jumping to conclusions.
Kevin shook his head excessively, trying to clear his name. �No! Wait Niki! I meant what I said, I swear! Thinking you were leaving was just a motivation for me to muster up my courage to tell you how I really feel,� Kevin stammered as he sprinted after Niki. He stepped in her path once he reached her and continued to beg, �Please, give me a chance. I know I was blind before but now all my feelings are clear as day!�
�What about Mandy?� Niki asked scornfully. She obviously hadn�t gotten over last night�s incident yet. Kevin still needed to clear up that little detail in order to win Niki over. Girls dont give up a grudge that easily.
�There�s nothing going on between me and Mandy. I was stupid for getting carried away last night. I was trying to spite you, like you were trying to spite me.� Kevin paused and took Niki�s hand, squeezing it reassuringly, �Don�t fight it Niki. I know you love me. Jack told me everything.�
Niki�s cheek went from peach to rosy as she looked at Kevin�s sincere face. Stupid Jack and his big mouth. To make things even more difficult, Niki could feel everyone�s eyes on her and Kevin.
�Come on girly, he�s a good catch,� A women from the crowd blurted.
A girl chimed in, �Ya, he�s a sexy thang. Let me have him if you dont want him.�
�Hell, I�ll even take him.� This particular voice was unusually manly.
Kevin gave Niki his most adorable pout, �See, everyone thinks you should give me a chance. Even that guy there.� Kevin felt uneasy as the guy who previously spoke licked his lips erotically at him.
Niki sneered at the guy as if telling him so back off of her man. He just shrugged and winked at Kevin.
Niki felt like pulling out her gun. She snapped her fingers and said, �Back off biotch, he�s mine!�

�I want auntie Michelle to stay with me,� Jacky whined as Ron tried to tuck him into bed, �I�m scared of the boogie man.�
Ron rolled his eyes as he looked at a grinning Michelle, �But Auntie Michelle has to work tomorrow, and I�ll be here with you.� Secretly, Ron wished that Michelle would stay, not only for Jacky�s benefit, but for Ron�s sake as well.
�You ARE the boogie man!� Jacky screamed, pushing Ron away. He then grabbed onto Michelle�s sleeve and wouldn�t let go.
�Why you little...� If it wasn�t for Michelle�s deadly �shut-up� stare, who knows what words Ron would�ve finished his sentence with.
She patted Jacky�s head adoringly and said, �Fine, I�ll stay with you tonight but only if you promise to behave and eat your food for Uncle Ron everyday till your mommy comes back, ok?�
Jacky bit his bottom lip and cried, �Deal! But that means you�ll have to be here to play with Jacky all the time!�
Michelle giggled as she shrug, �We�ll see sweetie. Depends if you�re a good boy or not. Now go brush your teeth.�
After Jacky obediently scurried away to the bathroom, Michelle looked at Ron, who tried to hide his smile while saying, �You�re really spending the night?� He tried to keep a straight face, but it was the hardest thing to do since the girl that he was falling for is standing right in front of him.
�You wish. I�ll leave as soon as he�s asleep. You owe me big time for being such a good babysitter,� Michelle chaffed as she picked up a �Pokemon� book, preparing to read to Jacky.
Ron�s heart sank, �Oh well, It�s not like I�m the one she�s sleeping with.� Ron silently slapped himself after he realized what he was thinking.

�Come on babe. It�s pouring outside, just spend the night,� Louis begged as he knelt down beside Jessica, who was sitting with her arms crossed over her chest.
She shook her head stubbornly. �I dunno, I�m kind of afraid I might be taken advantage of if I stay,� Jessica teased as she stared at the ceiling.
�Ahem, have you forgotten the fact that I�m your captain,� Louis said as he placed his arms seductively around her shoulders, �What I say goes.� He had the most devious and naughty grin glued on his handsome face.
She responded with a slap to his arm, �Only at work, Captain Koo. Outside of work, I�m the boss of you!� It was sad but true.
Louis rubbed the spot slapped by Jessica as he cried, �Come on baby. It�s hard to catch a cab in this storm. And I was only kidding. I�ll sleep on the couch and you can sleep in my room. My roommates leave before I do in the morning so they�ll never know you spent the night if that�s what you�re worried about.�
The lights flickered as Jessica stood up from the couch. She was famous for being a hard head. Actually, all the women in her family were just as tenacious as she was. Must be hereditary.
The thunder roared while Louis reluctantly walked his girlfriend to the door. As Jessica reached for the doorknob, darkness abruptly surrounded the apartment, for the lights had completely burned out. It felt as if someone had pulled a dark curtain over her face, suffocating her. Jessica�s breath become shallow as she dropped to her knees. Lucky for her, Louis was there to assist her.
�Close your eyes and take a deep breath,� he instructed calmly, as he knelt down beside Jessica. Louis gently rubbed her back as she fell onto his shoulder. She continued to breath through shallow inhalations as Louis sat still, holding her small frame in his strong arms.
�What caused her to be so afraid of darkness?� Louis wondered apprehensively.
After a motionless ten minutes, Louis realized Jessica had fallen asleep. He let out a sigh of relief, knowing her breathing was back to normal. Louis gently scooped her up into his arms and carried her to his bedroom. Only in his arms did Jessica feel safe.

Alec pulled Vicki closer to his body as they layed on the couch listening to the steady rhythm of the rain. Spooning on the couch and watching �Titanic� was the perfect way to spend a rainy evening.
The house was silent since nobody was home. Bobby had left town for an urgent conference and none of her three sisters were home yet. Alec and Vicki had the entire house to themselves. But don�t get any ideas, Vicki is a wholesome girl after all, that was why Alec adored her and treated her like a gem.
�Isn�t it past your bedtime?� he teased as he caressed Vicki�s cheeks, �I thought you have an early shift tomorrow?�
�Shhhh, this is my favourite part,� Vicki hushed as her eyes continued to glue the plasma TV. �Titanic� was her favourite movie and Alec was the first boy to watch it with her.
He sighed as he forced himself to stay awake during the part where Rose was perched in the front end of the boat, held up by Jack, pretending she could fly. Chick flicks weren�t exactly Alec�s favourite genre, but his princess loved it so Alec sat patiently through it just for her.
�Alec, I wanna get married on a boat someday,� Vicki said suddenly while turning her body, facing him.
He gazed fondly upon his girlfriend�s angelic face and replied, �Of course...�

Kevin was right. His Porsche was gone from the last place he left it. To make matters even worse, it was raining cats and dogs that night. Niki couldn�t help but giggle at how cute Kevin looked with his face scrunched up in frustration. She couldn�t believe he would ditch his precious baby for her even when he knew what the consequences were. Getting towed.
�Come on,� Kevin said as he grabbed Niki�s delicate hands, forgetting about his misfortune. She was better than anything in this world. And now that he had her, nothing seemed to matter anymore.
Niki stared at Kevin and placed a hand on his forehead, �Are you delirious, it�s so hard to catch a cab in this whether.�
�Who said we were taking a cab?� He took off his jacket and draped it over Niki�s body. �Don�t you think walking in the rain is romantic?�
Kevin smiled as he pulled her closer to his chest. She could feel his steady heartbeat as he warmed her up with the heat from his manly body.
They didn�t care if they were drenched, being with each other was all that mattered. The walk home was far, but somehow Kevin and Niki both wished the road home would continue on forever.
The moment when the couple had to separate came all too soon. Kevin coyly placed a soft kiss on Niki�s forehead before she walked into the building. But he felt something was missing. Before she reached the other side of the street, Kevin ran towards Niki and before she knew it, they were face to face, eyes locking, and finally, lip to lip. Rain trickled down their faces as they stood in the middle of the street sharing their very first kiss. Niki closed her eyes and rested her hands on Kevin�s burley chest as he ran his fingers through her soft, wet hair.
The street was empty at this hour, but even so, Kevin and Niki felt like they were the only two people left in this world. Time was at a halt as the sweet osculation continued in the middle of the empty street. The only sound that could be heard was from the rain, splashing softly after hitting the ground.

Ron couldn�t make that goofy grin fade from his face as he stared blankly at the TV. His eyes were focussed on the screen, but his heart was in the room next door.
Ron pulled out his wallet and smiled at the Polaroid picture of Jacky, Michelle, and himself on the Ferris wheel. Even though the photographer at Ocean Park over charged him for that photo, but it was worth it. They looked like a happy family, which was what Ron wanted someday. And now, he felt no one was able to give that to him except for Michelle.
Ron glanced at his watch. It was already 12:30. Michelle had been reading to Jacky for nearly an hour, surely the little monster would be asleep by now.
He tip-toed into the guestroom where Jacky was staying and curiously peeked inside. Ron smiled contentedly as he looked at Jacky, curled up against Michelle. He noticed that a breeze was blowing through the room, making Michelle shiver in her sleep. So quietly and swiftly, he walked towards the window and pulled it close. And before he left, Ron carefully pulled the covers over Jacky and Michelle. He didn�t know what got over him, but couldn�t resist placing a gentle kiss on Michelle�s cheek before he left the room. She looked irresistible even when she�s dreaming.
