Jessica grunted as Louis struggled to pull the pointy leather boots off of her bruised feat after setting her down on the couch in her apartment.
�Does it still hurt?� Louis asked as he looked nervously at Jessica�s scrunched up face.
�It�s beyond hurt. It�s numb!� Jessica groaned as she sprawled onto the couch.
Louis squatted down onto the floor and grabbed Jessica�s tiny foot. He pulled out a tube of ointment from his jacket pocket and began massaging the medicine onto her toes.
Jessica tried not to smile while looking at the worried look Louis� face, who continued to rub the sore spot on her black and blue feet. Jessica was certainly a lucky girl since she was fortunate enough to receive a foot massage from the great Captain Koo He�s never given a foot massage for any girl before in his life, and Jessica would probably be the only girl he would ever do it for.

�I want that, that, and that, for our new place,� Vicki said excitedly as she pointed to all the furniture she wanted on one of the pages in the Ikea catalogue that Alec was trying to flip through. They were curled up on the coach at his apartment, planning out the decor of their new home together.
Alec grinned at Vicki, and said, �You�re gonna make me broke. You know a chemist doesn�t make that much right?�
�Oh please, I know how much you have. Don�t be such a cheapskate!� Vicki pouted, tugging softly at Alec�s ear.
He grabbed Vicki�s soft hand and intertwined it in his and softly said, �I have to save up for our future you know?�
�Fine, but I still want this oh-so-pretty leather coach!� Vicki gushed, jabbing her finger on the picture of the piece of furniture.
Alec brushed Vicki�s bangs out of her eyes and smiled, �Anything for you, Princess.�

�Charlene! Get over here right now!� Niki demanded in a loud whisper.
�What now!� Charlene was getting impatient with the drama queen named Niki.
�Do you know what Charmaine asked me in the washroom? She asked me if Kevin had a girlfriend!� Niki was talking through gritted teeth.
Charlene gasped as she covered her mouth with her hand, �Omigosh. Are you sure?�
Clenching her fist in anger, Niki shrieked in a voice only Charlene could hear, �Of course I�m sure!� Mimicking Charmaine�s voice, Niki taunted, �She said, �Do you know if your superintendent has a girlfriend. He�s so hot I could just kiss him!��
�Nooooooo,� Charlene said in a low key tone, eyes bulging out like a fish. She knew Charmaine was in deep trouble now.
�Yaaaaaaaa,� Niki squealed in a voice that was high and squeaky, �and when I said he was taken, she said, �We�ll just have to see about that won�t we?�� Maybe Niki was overly exaggerating the snobby tone while mimicking Charmaine, but the other impressions were right on the money.
As Niki stomped her way towards Charmaine, following close behind, Charlene asked frantically, �Where are you going?�
Niki snapped, �Haven�t you ever heard the saying �Keep your friends close. Keep your enemies even closer?��
Charlene could practically see the red horns growing from her best friend�s head and a tail sprouting from her back. �I�m gonna watch that bitch like a hawk. If she so much as lays a finger on Kevin, she can say bye-bye to her hair.� Catty?

�God, you�ve been staring at her all night. Why don�t you ask her to dance already,� Fiona teased as she nudged Ron in the arm.
Stuttering, Ron proclaimed, �I-I-I wasn�t staring at her. I was looking to see if she was wearing her headset that�s all.�
�Come on, even I can lie better than that,� Edison blurted since he was eavesdropping on their conversation, �that�s the lamest excuse I�ve ever heard!�
Fiona nodded, �Even that knucklehead makes more sense that you.�
�I resent that!� Edison sneered.
Fiona retorted, �Oh come on, you know I�m right.� The truth hurts.
They both turned their attention back to Ron, who was nervously shuffling from foot to foot as he stared hard at his newly shined dress shoes with his hands shoved into his pocket.
�Um, I hate to interrupt your foot shuffling, but I think some guy is trying to make a move on your girl. You better act fast,� Edison pointed out, slightly nudging his friend in the arm.
Ron�s eyes immediately trailed over towards Michelle, and sure enough, she was being courted by a wealthy man in his early to mid twenties. He surely was the handsome type, not to mention that he was probably loaded if he was a guest at this banquet. Ron�s knuckles were cracking as both his hands rolled into a tight fist.
�Stop standing there like an idiot and do something,� Fiona urged as she shoved Ron into Michelle�s direction.

�Superintendent Cheng, can you accompany me over here for a second?� Charmaine�s command was disguised as a question.
�Uh sure, is something wrong?� Kevin felt uneasy as Charmaine held onto his arm with both hands, leading him toward the section consisting of VIP tables.
�I think I may have a stalker,� Charmaine lied as she looked around the room, �he�s around here somewhere. Maybe you could see what he�s up too.�
�Sure, I�ll tell everyone to be on the alert,� Kevin said as he dug into his pocket for a walkie talkie.
Charmaine snatched the device from Kevin, and assured loudly, �No need for that! I�m sure you can take him alone.�
Before Kevin could react, Charmaine grabbed his hand, dragging him towards a table near the podium.
Once they reached the table which seated important guests, Charmaine lightly tapped an elderly man in the shoulders. The man turned around abruptly, eyes lighting up as soon as his sight fell upon Charmaine.
�Sweetie, we were just talking about you,� The elderly man exclaimed. He stood up, taking her hand and introduced Charmaine to all the guests occupying the VIP table while Kevin stood uncomfortably behind her. His stomach churned since he couldn�t help but feel like something bad was about to happen.
�Daddy, I want you introduce you to someone,� Charmaine said sweetly as she turned around, clasping onto Kevin�s hands, �this is Superintendent Cheng, he�s been doing an amazing job at providing safety for me. I don�t know what I would do without him.�
Kevin felt awkward as the people around the table as well as Charmaine�s father gazed upon him with admiration.
�Daddy, you know how you�ve been pushing me to get a boyfriend?� Charmaine�s father�s eyes lit up as soon as the word �boyfriend� was mentioned. She continued, �Well...I think I found him.� After those words, Charmaine hooked onto�s Kevin�s arm and stared at him lovingly, indicating that she meant he was the one for her.
Kevin was in a state of shock. He searched his brain to come up with words to say, any words to get him out of the dilemma that Charmaine had dragged him into, but all he could draw was a blank. He just stood still like a statue while Charmaine�s father embraced his so-called future son in law. No doubt about it, since Charmaine and her father was a public figure, the paparazzi flooded towards them like bees to honey. This was the story of the century. Just wait until Niki reads it.

Ron swallowed his large male ego as he walked towards Michelle.
The sound of a gunshot pierced through the ballroom as a group of men covered in black masks entered the building and surrounded the unsuspecting guests. The men each carried a machine gun, and the masks they wore covered their entire face except for two holes, revealing their hate filled eyes.
The entire place turned into a frenzy as people started running in all directions, screaming at the top of their lungs. Some were crouched down underneath the table hoping to hold on to their dear life, while others just fainted on the spot. Members of the police unit began to arm themselves, trying to contain the madness.
One of the masked men shot the ceiling repeatedly drawing attention away from his accomplices who were scanning the building for a particular person.
One of the masked men bellowed, �I see her,� as his vison darted towards Charmaine, who was slouched down behind a chair, shaking in fear. In the midst of the chaos, she had strayed away from Kevin and the rest of the other detectives, who was trying desperately to relocate her.
Immediately, one of the man in the mask dashed towards Charmaine, but before he was able to abduct her, as quick as a flash, Kevin lunged out from his hiding spot pulling Charmaine into the safety of his arms. Settling against his chest, she looked up at him adoringly while he kept his attention focussed on the approaching men. He held a gun in one hand and the other hand was supporting Charmaine.
As one of the men raised his gun in front of Kevin, seeing Michelle out of the corner of his eye, Kevin dropped his gun and pushed Charmaine towards her and instantly rolled away, making the bullet hit miss them both, hitting the chair behind him instead.
Charmaine was now crouched behind Michelle�s slender body. At this point, the gun was pointed directly at Michelle. She did not reveal any trace of fear on her face or in her eyes. The only thing on her mind at that moment was she will be reunited with Raymond any second. She stared hard into the eye of the man who was about to pull the trigger, ending her life.
Michelle stood over Charmaine like a human shield as the bullet ripped through the air, travelling towards her body. Images of Raymond flashed through her head like a slide-show as she closed her eyes, waiting for the bullet to pierce through her chest. Somehow the final slide that played in her mind was an image of Ron.
Michelle quickly opened her eyes to find him standing in front of her. She watched in horror as Ron fell to the ground with his hand over the spot where the bullet had hit him. He was now lying lifelessly as she knelt down and lightly lifted his head to rest on her lap.
As Michelle was preoccupied tending to the agonizing Ron, the man in the mask seized the second opportunity to grab Charmaine. As fast as lightning, Bosco threw Kevin his gun since he was the only person in the position to shoot the man. Before he could lay a finger on Charmaine, the man fell to the ground by Kevin�s perfectly aimed shot. Other members of the police unit was able to take down the rest of the men in masks just before reinforcements came.
�Ron! Please be ok!� Michelle cried as she held onto Ron. She could feel her body go numb as she stroked his face, that was slowly losing colour. His eyes were closed, and his breathing was shallow.
Lying motionless for thirty seconds, Ron slowly opened his eyes and smiled restlessly at a tearful Michelle.
�Are you ok!? The ambulance is on it�s way,� Michelle cried frantically as she clasped tightly onto Ron�s hand, which was still covering the spot the bullet had hit. She was surprised that not a drop of blood fell from his wound as she placed her hand on his.
�I�m fine,� Ron managed to croak through his dry throat, �I have on a bulletproof vest.�
Relief dispersed through her body as she supported Ron to sit up. Michelle didn�t know what got over her as she threw her arms around Ron�s neck, burying her face into his chest. Somehow, she felt like her life had a brand new meaning as she let the his body soak up her tears. Ron could feel his ears turn red hot as she hugged her back, taking in the sweet scent from her hair.
Sammul stood passively from across the room, watching Ron embrace Michelle lovingly. His heart was slowly but surely shattering into millions of pieces because he could tell his best friend had fallen in love with the same girl that he�s in love with. Sammul could tell Michelle had reciprocated the feeling for Ron as well.
Seeing Sammul heart broken also tore Fiona apart, but she was happy that her best friend had realized her feelings for Ron. Better late than never.

Niki scanned the entire place, hoping to spot Kevin. Her heart was still beating rapidly since she witnessed the entire incident while trying to calm the nerves of the panic stricken people at the same time. Her boyfriend�s life was almost taken away and if she was anywhere near him, Niki would�ve done what Ron did for Michelle.
Charmaine threw her body at Kevin before Niki could reach him. He was dumbstruck and stood there like an idiot as Charmaine pressed up against him, crying onto his shoulder. Kevin couldn�t push her off because she was clearly shaken up, so he rubbed her back soothingly, hoping to calm her down. He didn�t see Niki stare at him blankly from a short distance, then turning her heel, slowly walking away.

Ron closed his eyes and smiled contently as he settled into the backseat of Nicholas�s car. He needed a ride since he was in no condition to drive. Although the bullet did not come into the contact with his skin, Joyce insisted that Ron didn�t drive since she assumed that he was pretty shaken up. She was wrong because Michelle was the best cure for any form of illness Ron experienced.
Nicholas pretended to gag, �Sheesh, your cheesy smile is making me sick.�
�Shut up, I�m happy I didn�t get killed ok?� Ron tried to hide the excitement in his voice.
Nicholas rolled his eyes at Ron as he continued to drive. Stopping at a red light, his attention drifted over to the other side of the street where a drunken girl was holding onto the railings, trying not to fall over. Nicholas squinted his eyes to get a better view of this girl and thought that she looked strangely familiar.
�Hey Ron, does that chick over there look like someone?� Nicholas asked, pointing to the girl who was now puking over the rails onto the street.
Ron curiously looked over to the direction Nicholas was pointing at. He strained his eyes to finally make out the face of the girl he was trying to identify.
�Hey, that�s Tavia,� Ron cried, �pull over, I think she�s sick.�
They have been friends since high school, and although Tavia had changed since then, Ron still saw her as a little sister.
Nicholas pulled on his e-brake once he pulled his car over onto the side of the street along the sidewalk.
Ron immediately jumped out of the car and rushed over to Tavia. Supporting her from behind, Ron asked in a soft whisper, �Tav? Are you ok?�
She slowly turned around and collapsed into his arms...
___________________________________________________________
�Niki, I think I�m gonna follow your advice,� Michelle said, hugging her fluffy pillow with goofy smile plastered on her face, �I�m gonna give Ron a chance...�
A measly little �Uh huh� was all she got from Niki from the other side of the room. Not like her at all.
�Nik? Are you ok? Did you hear what a said?� Michelle could tell something was wrong with her little sister.
�I�m fine, just tired,� Niki said in a monotone voice.
Michelle scooted from her bed onto Niki�s, and layed down beside her sister. Pinching Niki�s cheeks, she said, �Baby, tell momma what�s wrong.�
�Since when are you momma?� Niki teased, giving off a slight pout.
�Since we moved here and momma is all the way back in New York...Come on, Niki. What�s the matter. If I told you I was gonna give Ron a chance last night, you�ll be spazzing out by now.�
Niki sighed while she rubbed her tiresome eyes, �I think Kevin doesn�t love me anymore. I saw him hug Charmaine.�
Michelle but her bottom lip to keep from laughing. Her sister has got to be the most paranoid person in the world.
Michelle could no longer hold in her laughter and blurted, �Oh my god, Niki. Are you on crack? A hug doesn�t mean anything, he was only trying to calm her down. Give the guy a break.�
�But in the girl�s room, she said that she thought Kev was hot!� Niki exploded as she thought back to the earlier moment with Charmaine in the washroom.
Michelle was now laughing so hard tears were forming in the corner of her eyes.
�Every girl thinks he�s hot! Hell, even I think he�s hot! Are you gonna stab me now?� Michelle managed to say, in between laughs.
Niki�s eyes widened in amusement, as she giggled, �You think my boyfriend is hot? Oh my god! I think Ron is hot too! Let�s just say we have good taste!�
The sisters laugher until their stomach hurt.
Niki suddenly pushed Michelle off her bed and scolded, �Go to sleep! You don�t wanna look like a raccoon when you confess your feelings to Ron tomorrow do you?�
Michelle stuck out her tongue and exclaimed, �Pushy aren�t you? That�s more like my Niki. You get some rest too, and remember even if Charmaine does like Kevin, you�re the one he loves.�
Niki threw a pillow at Michelle and giggled, �Ok, ok. Sweet dreams, �momma!�� Her sister always made her feel better.
___________________________________________________________
�Ouch!� Ron cried, as he suddenly rolled off the couch, hitting the hard wood floor with a loud �thud� the next morning. Of course you can�t leave a drunken girl unattended so the decent thing to do was take Tavia to his house, where he gave up his room to her and spent an entire night tossing and turning on the couch thinking about Michelle. A little couch was not enough for an overgrown klutz like Ron, but he better get used to sleeping on it if he was to marry Michelle, one of the temperamental sisters of the Au family.
On his way to the bathroom, Ron peered inside his room to find Tavia nowhere in sight.
�Tav?� Ron called as he looked around his room.
�In here,� she called from the kitchen, �Sonija left for the hospital early today and asked me to make you breakfast.�
�Oh. Are you feeling better?� Ron asked, squeezing toothpaste out of the tube when he made his way to the bathroom sink.
�Ya, and thanks for taking me home last night,� Tavia said in a sugar coated voice.
She could hear the water running in the bathroom as she mixed the pancake batter. Just as she was about to start the coffee pot, Tavia heard repetitive knocking sounds coming from the front door.
Peering though the little peephole in the door, Tavia sneered as she soon as she saw Michelle. She wanted to open the door and slap Michelle�s pretty little face, but instead a wicked idea popped into her head.
Tavia ran to the hall closer and grabbed a white towel and stripped down her clothes. She smiled wickedly as she stood at the door, twisting the doorknob.
---
On the other side of the door, Michelle�s heart was beating like a drum. She couldn�t wait to see Ron�s face as soon as he opened the door to see her 1000 watt smile. Niki was right, Ray wanted to see her happy and Ron could be the one to bring her happiness.
Michelle�s smile was immediately transformed into a sneer once she saw Tavia. What made it worse was that she was dressed in nothing but a white towel, wrapped around her body.
�What do you want? Can�t you see you�re disturbing my morning shower with Ron?� Tavia tantalized, with an evil grin on her face.
Michelle felt paralysed as she glared at Tavia with round eyes, too aghasted to mutter a single word.
Coming from the bathroom on the inside, Michelle could hear Ron�s voice, yelling, �Who�s at the door, Tav?�
Tavia winked tauntingly at Michelle and yelled back to Ron, �No one, just the milk man.� After those words, Tavia quickly slammed the door.
Michelle stood motionless behind the closed door, until she gathered all her energy to walk back to her apartment. As of this moment, Michelle felt like her heart no longer exists.
