�Vicki, I have something important to ask you,� Alec said as he placed his big hands on top of her delicate fingers. There was a twinkle in his eyes that made Vicki�s heart to beat simultaneously, causing her face to fluster.
The atmosphere of the coffee shop was mellow with soft music flowing in the background. Vicki and Alec sat by the bay window next to the sunrise. A perfect morning.
�Remember the time when we were at the mall taking photos?� Alec asked, as he reached into the hidden pocket of his jacket.
Vicki smiled suspiciously and nodded.
�Remember that diamond bracelet you were gawking at?� As soon as he finished his sentence, Alec pulled out a little velvet box and placed it on the table in front of Vicki.
She stared at the little box in amazement. Vicki did like the diamond bracelet, but who wouldn�t? Diamond is a girl�s best friend after all. But she would never want her boyfriend to waste money on such an overrated piece of jewellery.
Vicki shook her head and said softly, �You shouldn�t have.�
Alec just smiled and replied, �Just open it.�
Vicki sighed as she gave in and slowly opened the royal blue box. To her surprise, instead of finding a bracelet made of diamonds, this bracelet was made out of beads. Not only that, Vicki could tell it was handmade, a little bit sloppy, but still beautiful-in it�s own way.
�I wanted to buy the bracelet you were looking at, but the lady at the store told me some guy already bought it, so I figured I could make you one myself.� Alec�s face was flushed red as he stared at his hands. He had never done anything so feminine in his entire life. His roomies all got a kick out of that. �I knew you liked marble glass beads, so I asked this old lady in my building to teach me how to bind them together.� Alec scratched his head and finally looked at Vicki�s loving face, �I know it�s not the greatest thing in the world, but it took me three days and four hours to make.�
Vicki couldn�t help but laugh at how cute Alec was. This was better than any old diamond bracelet because she knew it came from his heart, which is more precious than any shiny stone. Although it was a little clumsy looking, Vicki still adored it.
She held the little pink bracelet gingerly between her fingers as she leaned over and sweetly kissed Alec on the cheek, �This is the best present I ever received...But what�s the occasion?�
Alec tried to gulp away his fear, finally being able to muster up the courage to get to the real reason why he asked her to coffee this morning.
�I was kinda hoping you would...move in with me?� Alec said abruptly, gazing far into Vicki�s brown eyes.
Her heart stopped beating suddenly as she tried to assimilate Alec�s words into her brain. �What? You mean, like, live together?� He completely caught her off guard.
Alec gave Vicki a cute, boyish grin as he nodded. His eyes were clearly filled with hope as he stated, �I�m not trying to force you. I know we�ve been together for only a short period of time but I feel like we have a strong bond that I never had with anyone before.� Alec gently squeezed Vicki�s soft hands, �It would make me really happy and I hope it would make you happy too.�

�Wake up aunty Michelle,� Jacky chirped as he tugged on Michelle�s blanket, �It�s time for work.�
Michelle squinted her eyes as the sun shone through the blinds hanging loosely on the window, causing the light hit her gorgeous face. She quickly pulled the blanket over her head, hoping to salvage at least another ten minutes of sleep.
�Come on. Chelly,� Jacky whined, trying to shove Michelle off the bed. He was pretty strong for a little boy, but Michelle still didn�t budge. She was not a morning person. Even if a marching band was to march through the room right this moment, Michelle would still be glued to the sheets. Frustratingly, Jacky ran out of the room.
�Uncle Ron, aunty Michelle wont get up,� Jacky whined as he tugged on Ron�s pant leg. He was hovering over the stove, trying to fry up some eggs and bacon for Michelle�s breakfast. Even a person with half a brain could tell Ron was nowhere near chef material. To him, instant noodles could be considered a gourmet.
Ron smiled as he tried to flip over the half, burnt egg. �I have an idea,� he whispered, �but you have to be really quiet.� Jacky�s eyes lit up as he listened to Ron�s naughty little scheme.

Jessica yawn as she rolled over, facing the other side. To her surprise, Louis was lying next too her-fully clothed of course. He couldn�t help it if his arm was trapped underneath Jessica as he set her down onto his bed last night. Being a gentleman that he was, Louis didn�t want to disturb his angel�s beauty sleep by pulling out his arm from beneath. Besides, it�s not like it bothered him. Louis could lose his arm for all he cared, just as long it kept his angel comfortable was all that mattered.
The image of last night flashed in Jessica�s head as she rubbed her temples. She smiled as she gently stroked Louis�s handsome face. Jessica trusted him with all her heart. Louis was her superman and he looked so cute, sleeping like a baby.
Just as she was about to climb out of bed, Jessica felt a strong hand pulling at her arm, causing her to fall back into the covers. His eyes were still shut, but Louis had a devilish smirk plastered across his face.
�I thought you were asleep,� Jessica whispered as Louis pulled her closer toward his body. She rested her arm on his manly chest as she layed her head in his arm.
�I was up a long time ago, I just wanted to spend more time with sleeping beauty,� Louis replied, caressing Jessica�s cheeks, �are you feeling better today, baby?�
�I�m fine, but you should�ve woken me up last night,� Jessica said, playfully slapping Louis�s face.
Louis arched an eyebrow and teased, �Well, If I�ve woken you up, I wouldn�t have had the chance to take advantage of you.�
�Haha, don�t make me laugh, like you�re capable of taking advantage of ME.� Jessica tittered as she tried to roll away from Louis.
He quickly shot up and hovered on top of Jessica, forcing down her shoulders, trapping her underneath him.
�I�ll show you what I�m capable of.� Louis had the most naughty grin popping out at the corner of his lips.
Jessica giggled as she cried, �Ewww, morning breath. Go brush your teeth, dork.�

Niki felt like a million bucks as she stepped outside into the crisp morning air. She took a deep breath, taking in the clear breeze.
She felt a light tap on her shoulders as she was about to set foot onto the street to hail a taxi. Niki jerked her head around to see who the tap belonged to. Her morning just got a thousand times better.
As soon as Niki realized it was her boyfriend, she threw her arms around his neck and pecked him lightly on the lips.
�Good morning to you too, Sunshine,� Kevin smiled as he encircled Niki�s back.
�What are you doing here so early?� she asked, grinning from ear to ear.
Kevin held up a little paper bag and beamed, �Can�t I come to bring breakfast to my girlfriend? I know you always skip breakfast, but it is the most important meal of the day.�
It all seemed too surreal to Niki- he was way too good to be true. Kevin was the last thing on her mind before she went to sleep, and the first thing she thought of as soon as she opened her eyes. If this was a dream, Niki never wanted to be awake.
Kevin walked Niki to a nearby bench and sat her down, �You�re one lucky girl. Not very many people get to try the famous Kevin sandwich.�
Niki pretended to have a disgusted look on her face as she taunted, �You made this? I�m not sure I wanna try it now.� Deep down, Niki felt like she just died and went to heaven. She just loved teasing him, just like how he loved to tease her. What a match, made in heaven.
�Listen sweetie, I was top of my class in my high school�s Home Ec class,� Kevin bragged as he dangled the bag in front of Niki�s nose, �Do I have to feed this to you?�
Niki�s eyes darted toward the sky as she shrugged, �I don�t mind.�

�Ok, Jacky. On the count of three,� Ron said, signalling to the kid to get ready, �One, two, THREE!�
Jacky bursted into the room Michelle was sleeping in and swiftly lifted the covers off of her. That was Ron�s signal for action. He instantly pulled the trigger on his Super Soaker and sprayed Michelle from head to toe with ice cold water.
Michelle�s scream pierced through the apartment, almost causing Ron�s ear to bleed. She jolted out of bed and came running after him.
�You jerk! How dare you??!� Michelle hollered as she chased Ron around the room. Jacky was practically rolling around on the floor. The poor kid was laughing so hard he almost wet his pants.
�Haha, you should�ve woken up earlier,� Ron laughed as he tried to dodge Michelle�s grab. But she was to fast for him. In the midst of Michelle�s struggle to seize the water gun from Ron�s grip, they both lost their balance and she came tumbling down on top of him. Ron could feel her lips accidentally land on top of his just as they hit the floor.
Jacky gasped as he shielded his eyes with his tiny little hands.

�What�s this for?� Jack asked apprehensively right after Kevin slapped a paper into Jack�s face.
They were the only two people in the unit, since Niki and everyone else were in the canteen getting coffee.
Kevin cleared his throat and said sternly, �A parking ticket. Thanks to you, my baby got towed last night at the airport, so I guess you�re paying for it, buddy.�
Jack burst into laughter as he looked at Kevin�s serious face, �Are you kidding me? Is this how you�re gonna repay your matchmaker? If it wasn�t for me, you�ll still be alone and bitter.�
�If it wasn�t for you, I wouldn�t need to pay 500 bucks to get my car from the pound.� Kevin declared.
�If it wasn�t for me, Niki would still be mad at you!�
This argument could go on forever. Just as Kevin was about to make a comeback, he was paged by his Chief to report to his office.
He pointed his index finger at Jack as he walked toward the door, �We�re not done yet, pal. You owe me $500.� Jack gave him a fake I�m-so-scared look as Kevin smiled sarcastically, giving Jack the finger. Mature eh?

�Here, don�t say I never keep my promise,� Michelle said, as she chucked Ron the game he had been longing for.
�So does that mean I�m not your slave any more?� Ron asked as caught the game with one hand. A week ago, he wanted that game more than anything, but now he wanted its owner more than anything. Funny how things change in just the span of a week.
Michelle raised an eyebrow as plainly asked, �What? You still wanna be my slave? If so, that can be arranged.�
�Hell no, woman. Now I�m free as a bird,� Ron defended. Truthfully, he kind of was hoping he could follow her around for another week or even longer, but he wasn�t about to admit it.
�Well, now you can go back to being a moron that you are,� Michelle teased as she pushed the �down� button in the elevator.
Ron was about to make a comeback, but was interrupted by Jacky, �Hey moron. You promised you�d buy me breakfast at Mickey D�s before school today, remember?�
Ron glared at Michelle, who was snickering in the corner of the elevator. No doubt about it, Jacky learned that word from her.
�--
�Aunty Michelle, are you and uncle Ron gonna get married?� Jacky asked out of the blue as they waited for Ron in his car.
Michelle was dumbstruck as she stared at the kid, �Why do you say that?�
Jacky pointed toward a billboard, which showed an advertisement for a bridal shop. It was plastered with a picture of the groom, kissing the bride on the cheek. �Last night, Uncle Ron did that to you when you were sleeping. Don�t only married people do that?�

Jessica and Louis walked into the Police Department one after the other. They both agreed upon keeping their relationship on the down low, since dating in the workplace was frowned upon in the Police Department. The same story goes for Kevin and Niki. Undercover love was the only option to keep out of trouble. Only the closest people to them knew about the relationship, but those people had to keep their mouths shut as well.
The coast was clear as Jessica and Louis entered the elevator. Louis seized the opportunity and grabbed Jessica�s waist, pulling her close to him.
�Let go dork, what if someone sees?� Jessica reminded, trying to push Louis away from her. He just held on to Jessica tighter.
Louis kissed Jessica lightly on the forehead and assured, �Come on, baby. There�s no one here but us.� As soon as Louis finished his sentence, the elevator made an abrupt stop on the fifth floor.
As the metal doors swung open, Jessica immediately pushed Louis away. A colleague of Louis stepped into the elevator, finding the couple standing at opposite ends. He nodded at Jessica and Louis, completely oblivious of what was going between them.

Kevin gave a routine knock on the door upon entering Chief Inspector Less�s office.
�Good morning, Sir. You wanted to see me, about something important?�
�As a matter fact, I do,� the chief stated, as he leaned back into his leather, swivel chair. �As you know, our department has been put in charge of providing security for the annual governor ball. I have conjoined your team as well as Madame Tang�s team to provide surety for the function.�
Kevin nodded as the chief continued, �Amongst the guests at this ball, the daughter of the Japanese diplomat is included on the VIP list, and I�m putting you and a couple of your people in charge of watching over her, providing protection for her at all time-starting tomorrow.�
Kevin�s eyes bugged out in astonishment as he asked, �You mean we have to look after this girl twenty four seven starting tomorrow until after this ball?� Babysitting spoiled, rich brats was not the job Kevin suffered in the academy for.
Chief inspector Lee nodded his head, �You got it.�

Michelle�s pen was chewed up to the core as she sat at her desk, continuing to chomp on the poor little writing tool. All morning, she had been trying desperately to erase what Jacky told her earlier in the car.
�There was no way Ron had kissed me last night. The kid was probably imagining things. Ron is so obnoxious and rude and conceited and...sweet lately?� Michelle shook her head, shaking that thought from her mind. �Who cares, even if he did, what does it matter to me?�
She pulled a little silver locket hiding beneath the collar of her shirt. Her heart was only occupied by Raymond, and she intended to keep it that way. No matter how many men had grovelled at her feet, Michelle had not once fallen for any of them. Ron was no exception.
�Michelle, do you wanna go to Little Italy for lunch today? I heard it got really good reviews from food critics.� Sammul grinned, leaning over her desk, knocking Michelle out of her trance.
She smiled, an uneasy smile, towards Sammul for his sweet gesture. �Thanks, but I don�t feel like eating anything today.�
Ron instantly looked up from his file, and before Sammul could mutter another word, Ron blurted, �Are you sick? Do you need me to take you to the doctor?�
Bosco, Nicholas, Fiona, and Sammul jerked their heads in Ron�s direction and stared at him in disbelief. This was a totally different Ron from last week�s. They were quite surprised at how Michelle and Ron were no longer bickering like cat and mouse lately.
�Uh, no. Me and Fiona joined a special diet program,� Michelle fibbed. She tried to turn the attention away from herself by pretending to study a folder in front of her.
But her cover was blown when Fiona suddenly spoke, �Since when? How come you never told me about it?� She obviously didn�t get the hint, but then she finally understood when Michelle shot Fiona a death look.
�Why do you need a diet? You look fine the way you are.� The words exiting Ron�s mouth caused him to blush. Lucky for him his complexion is the colour of charcoal. Ron tried to steer away his embarrassment but saying, �I meant, you�re stupid for wasting your money on that bull shit.�
�Shut up, moron. What I do with my money is none or your business.� Michelle was convinced that Ron didn�t kiss her last night. They�re back to their old selves, fighting like fire and water.
Ron wasn�t ready to shed his obnoxious exterior in front of the guys yet. But no matter how hard he tried to cover up his feelings for Michelle, being one of Ron�s closest friends, Sammul could sense a special vibe Ron gave to Michelle.

Vicki grinned to herself as she grazed the beaded bracelet on her wrist. She had never felt this giddy and excited before. She was about to take a very big step in her relationship.
�That little smirk of yours is gonna grow bigger once you see what�s in this box,� Liza said, placing a velvet box on Vicki�s desk.
�What�s this?� Vicki asked, eyeing the box, similar to the one Alec gave her earlier.
Liza smiled, saying, �See for yourself. Boy, Alec must really love you.� She quickly left the room, leaving Vicki alone to wallow in the luxury of love.
A diamond bracelet fell out once Vicki lifted the top off the box. It was the same one Alec said was sold to someone else. She stared at the bracelet in awe as her lips shaped into a delicate smile.
�That little sneak lied to me,� Vicki exclaimed while pulling out her cell phone.
She happily dialled Alec�s number, and after just two rings, his cheerful voice was heard on the other line. �Hey roomie, miss me already?�
Vicki gleamed as she spoke into the phone, �So you were the one that bought the bracelet. I can�t believe you tried to fool me with the �someone else bought it� bit.�
�Uh, sweetie. What are you talking about? I didn�t buy any bracelet,� Alec informed.
Their conversation was interrupted by a knock on the door.
�Come in,� Vicki said loudly, holding one hand over the receiver. Alec was more confusing than she thought.
�So I see you got the bracelet I sent huh?� The voice belonged to a man.
