�Here we are. Home sweet home,� Jessica joyously exclaimed as the cab pulled up along a two story white Victorian style home. The house was complete with a white picket fence with a small swing set sitting on the front porch.
�Wow, it�s like a house straight out of the fifties,� Louis said as soon as he set foot onto the sidewalk. He looked at his surroundings in awe since he�s never seen a home so picture perfect.
Memories came pouring back to Michelle as she looked upon the familiar setting. The little playground across the street, the apple tree sitting on the front lawn, even the little dog barking from the neighbor�s yard reminded Michelle of how much she missed her home.
�Are you ok, kiddo? You haven�t spoken since we left the airport,� Bobby said, placing a comforting hand on his niece�s shoulder.
Michelle responded with a warm smile and said, �I�m alright, I just never realized I left home for so long.�
- - -
"I can�t believe we got stuck in the same cab with this old fart,� Alec grunted under his breath as the van stopped in front of the house.
Kevin lowered his head, and hushed, �Shh...he may be old but I�m sure he has good hearing.�
Paul turned around giving Kevin, and especially Alec, a piercing glare. �You�re right. This old fart can hear every single word that comes out of your mouth.�
�Paul, leave the boys alone,� Rebecca reproached, slapping her husband gently on the arm.
She ignored Paul and pointed to her two daughters fast asleep in the very back of the van, �I think you two should wake up the girls. Wouldn�t want them to stay here all night wont we?�
___________________________________________________________
After taking a long nap in her old bedroom, Michelle stretched and yawned while she made her way downstairs, looking for a mid-afternoon snack.
�Michelle, come help me in the kitchen,� Rebecca called once she heard her footsteps coming down the stairs.
�Mm�mmm. I miss this smell so much,� she said taking a whiff her mom�s cooking as soon as she stepped into the kitchen. Michelle was wearing her favorite high school varsity sweater with sweat pants and her old blue fuzzy slippers that she had since she was seventeen.
Rebecca smiled fondly at her daughter, �You look just like you did when you left home� still as pretty as ever.�
Picking up a piece of meat to sample from her mom�s plate like she did when she was little, Michelle joked, �Please mom, you always flatter me. It makes me wonder if I�m adopted.�
Rebecca chuckled, shaking her head, �Can�t a mom compliment her own daughter?�
Michelle picked up a paring knife and started slicing sticks of carrots scattered across the cutting board. �No, mothers are supposed to be critical of their daughters, not praise them.�
�I can�t help it if you take after me,� her mom replied in a snarky tone, puffing out her hair at the same time. They both looked at each other and started laughing, just like old times.
�But now for serious talk. Tell me the truth Michelle, why didn�t you bring your boyfriend home?� It was impossible to fool her Rebecca. It was like her mother had a polygraph built into her brain.
Michelle lowered her head and sighed, she cringed at the thought of Ron and another girl. �To tell you the truth, mom, I have no idea where he is. I haven�t been able to get a hold of him. I hope he�s not chea...�
�Do you love him?� Rebecca asked, cutting in before Michelle finished her sentence.
She nodded and answered, �Of course I do. I�m just very unsure at everything right now.�
Rebecca grabbed Michelle�s shoulder with both hands and turned her body so that they were face to face.
�If you love someone, you�ve got to have faith in that person. Love doesn�t exist without faith. And if he had the balls to cheat on you, he�ll be answering to me and this knife,� Rebecca growled, picking up a giant blade.
Violence was certainly a dominant trait in the family.
�Thanks mom.� Michelle couldn�t hold back her tears as her mom pulled her in to a motherly embrace. Her mom was like her driving force.
�Now get out of here and start unpacking before you ruin your clothes. I know you passed out as soon as you got home.�
Rebecca smiled as her daughter nodded a scurried back to her bedroom.
- - -
�Hi Auntie, you need help with dinner?� Alec asked cheerfully after entering the kitchen with Vicki.
�You know how to cook?� Rebecca asked surprise.
�Of course, who do you think makes all the meals back home?�
Alec grunted as Vicki stomped on his foot, glaring at him with her dagger eyes.
�Vicki, everyone knows you can�t cook. You�re lucky you found someone like Alec,� Rebecca teased, shaking her head at her second daughter, who shoved out her bottom lip like a little girl.
�Humph! He�s the lucky one for finding me.� Sticking out her tongue and turning her heel, Vicki stomped out of the kitchen not saying another word.
�No, she�s right. I�m very lucky to find her,� Alec smiled contently, picking up where Michelle left off with the carrots.
Rebecca grinned and patted Alec on the back, �Vicki is a very fortunate girl to have found you. How did you guys meet anyways?�
Alec smiled goofily, eyes sparkling as he told Rebecca of the first time he met Vicki.
Their conversation was interrupted by Paul as he summoned for Alec to follow him upstairs into the den.
Alec groaned and tagged after Paul submissively.
___________________________________________________________
�It�s so peaceful here,� Louis sighed in ease as he took in the fresh air of his surroundings.
Jessica closed her eyes and snuggled up against his chest as the two swung back and forth on the patio swing in the backyard deck.
�This would be such a nice place to raise our kids,� Louis whispered, stroking Jessica�s hair softly with his fingers.
Her eyes immediately shot wide open, as she jerked her body up asking, �What did you say?�
Taken aback by Jessica�s reaction, Louis replied, �I said this would be a nice place to raise our kids. Do you have a problem with kids or something?�
�No, of course I don�t. It�s just that I didn�t know you were ready to have them,� Jessica riposted, �I mean I want to become a mom, but I want to reach all my career goals before I do��
�Honey, I said I want to have kids, but I didn�t say I wanted them right now. I know you�re still very much into your career and I know you�re still bitter about the promotion you claimed I �stole� away from you,� Louis sighed, shaking his head. �You have a strange imagination, by the way.�
�HEY! You did steal it away from me! I could be sitting in that captain chair right now if it weren�t for you,� Jessica pouted, crossing her arms and cocking her head in the other direction.
Louis chuckled then gently turned Jessica�s cheeks so that she was facing him. �If I hadn�t gotten that promotion, I would still be located in the station on the other side of Hong Kong and we never would�ve met.�
Although they had been together for more than a year, Jessica still got butterflies every time she looked into his deep, chestnut eyes. The swing swayed back and forth as she closed her eyes, waiting for their lips to meet.
�Ahem!�
Louis was not surprised to see Paul standing in front of them, looking like the grim reaper, ready to take his life away.
Paul pointed his finger right at Louis and motioned for him to follow him into the house.
Like an obedient puppy, Louis lowered his head and trailed after his father-in-law into the unknown.
___________________________________________________________
�Shut up! I didn�t laugh that much when I saw your old photos!� Niki screamed as Kevin hugged her stomach, rolling with hysterics.
�I�I�m�S�sorry,� Kevin sputtered, tears rolling out the corner of his eyes, �I just never knew you had b�b�braces�AND g�glasses!�
�That was in third grade!� Niki bellowed as she pounded continuously on Kevin�s chest, �Don�t tell me you never went through an awkward phase!�
�Not with Mickey Mouse�s ears on my face and train tracks on my teeth.� Kevin could barely breathe. He grabbed another photo album from Niki�s old book shelf and almost lost his balance when Niki sprung onto his back, snatching the book away from him.
Kevin tried to shake her off, but Niki managed to snake both arms tightly around his neck, nearly choking him, making it impossible to throw her off his back.
Kevin struggled with Niki for nearly five minutes, both laughing their heads off until they were interrupted by a voice, saying, �Are you two finished horsing around?�
Startled, Kevin swirled around to see Paul at the doorway with his arms crossed over his chest looking very unimpressed.
�Mr. Cheng, would care to join me in the den?� Paul said sternly, expecting Kevin to follow without question.
Kevin staggered, and replied, �Yes Sir.� He turned around to look at Niki for help, but all he got was a shrug from her.
- - -
�So Mr. Cheng, you haven�t answered my question earlier,� Paul said coldly, opening up a clip board as he sat Kevin down onto the chair across from him.
Twiddling his fingers nervously, Kevin stammered, �Uh�what q�question would that be, Sir?�
Paul took a long sip out of his tea then asked, �Do you believe in pre-marital sex?�
�No!� Kevin replied with affirmation. This time he was prepared and he didn�t want to make the same mistake twice by saying something stupid.
Paul narrowed his eyes suspiciously and continued with another question. �So can I assume you�re a virgin?�
Kevin felt like his ears were about to fall off since it was burning at more than 2000 degrees. Even his tongue was numb. Kevin wished someone would throw water on him so he would melt away.
�Mr. Cheng, I must inform you that there is no point lying to me. I can hook you up to a polygraph right here and now. But that wont be necessary since I have everything I need to know about you right here.� Paul grinned sadistically as he pushed a blue folder towards Kevin.
- - -
�So, Mr. Cheng. I guess we�re done here. I also assume I made my rules clear?� Paul stated firmly, closing the clipboard.
�Uh huh,� Kevin squeaked. He felt completely exposed, like someone just dug up every little piece of dirt on him, which was exactly what Paul did. Don�t forget he was a detective as well.
�Come. Let me show you to the guestroom.� Paul said, motioning for Kevin to get up.
It took him awhile to work the right muscles to get him out of that chair. He had been sitting through that interrogation for more than two hours. Kevin finally knew what his suspects must go through every time they�re taken to the station.
�This is where you�ll be staying. Make yourself comfortable since you�ll be here for a very, very, long, long time.� Paul chattered cynically after showing Kevin into his bedroom. He winked and closed the door behind him.
�Hi Mr. Cheng, I see we�re gonna be sharing a room for a very, very, long, long time,� Louis said bitterly yet sarcastically, sassing his father-in-law.
�I guess Paul raped you with that interview too, huh?� Alec asked, after he saw the baffled and traumatized expression on Kevin�s face.
�I can�t believe he put three guys in the same room. This room is smaller then my walk in closet and there�s only 2 beds!� Kevin exploded, ruffling his fingers roughly through his hair.
�Ya, I guess you�re gonna be sleeping on the floor since you�re marrying the youngest daughter, giving you the lowest status and making US your older brother-in-laws,� Louis snickered evilly, giving Alec a hi-five.
Kevin shook his head and widened his eyes as he protested, �Hell no, you two share a bed and give me that one to myself.�
Louis scoffed, �In your dreams. Maybe Ron will come along and you�ll have to share a bed with him! Awww.�
___________________________________________________________
�Kevin, wake up dorkster!� Niki yelled into his ears early the next morning. �Kevinnnn�wake up. We have a big day ahead of us. I have to take you to all the shopping areas in New York!�
Niki surely wasn�t a morning person and it was odd to see her so energetic this early in the day. She must�ve had a whole pot of coffee.
�Baby, do you know what time it is in Hong Kong right now? And I didn�t get to sleep till 4am last night! That means I only got 5 hours of sleep. So can I please rest in peace?�
�Oh my god, don�t say that! Knock on wood!� Not bothering to wait for Kevin to do it himself, Niki grabbed his fist and banged it against the wooden night stand next to his bed.
�Dammit, Kev. Learn to control your woman. Some of us are trying to sleep!� Louis groaned from the next bed.
Right at that moment, Jessica popped into the room and called, �Wake-up, Louis. I made you breakfast downstairs.�
Immediately, Louis sprung up from his bed onto his feet and cried buoyantly, �I�m coming sweetheart, let me get ready first.�
It was as if Jessica had magical powers.
�See you downstairs, darling,� Louis said blowing her a kiss. After she was out of site, he fell back into his covers and pulled it over his head.
Niki grabbed Kevin�s blanket and tugged on it so that it fell to the floor, �Kevin Cheng Ka Wing! If you don�t get out of bed right now��
He shivered and curled up into a fetus position since the only thing he was wearing was boxer shorts with little yellow ducks on them, a present from Niki of course. She was too riled up to notice how sexy he was.
�Ok fine, I�ll just wander around New York myself. Maybe I�ll even find myself a hot New Yorker who could GET HIS ASS UP EARLY!� Niki screamed before storming out of the room.
�I�m up, I�m up! Dammit, woman!� Kevin yelled, jumping off the bed. He tripped over the blanket on the floor and fell flat on his ass.
�Talk about whipped,� Louis snickered under his covers.
�LOUIS! GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!� Jessica yelled from the bottom of the stairs.
Leaping out of bed the way Kevin did, Louis and Kevin raced down the hallway toward the bathroom. I guess they�re both equally whipped.
___________________________________________________________
�Alec? What are you doing down here so early?� Kevin asked pulling out a chair at the dining room table.
�I woke up early to help Auntie make breakfast while you two were sleeping like logs,� Alec said proudly, puffing out his chest.
Louis sat down next to Kevin and scoffed, �Ya sure, you just couldn�t sleep cuz you lost at Poker last night and had to sleep on the floor.�
�No, I�m just a better son-in-law than you two,� Alec replied proudly.
Just as Louis was about to talk back, Rebecca placed a plate down on the table and interrupted, �Boys, stop fighting. You�re all going to make great sons-in-law.�
The guys sneered at each other before digging into their breakfast.
�I don�t see why you guys are fighting. You�re all chumps to me,� Paul mocked, laughing at his own joke.
Rebecca shot Paul a shut-up-before-I-kill-you glare.
Worked like a charm.
�So what are the plans for today?� She asked, changing the topic.
�Me and Louis are heading down to the Plaza to check out the place for the reception,� Jessica answered after taking a sip of her orange juice.
�We are?� Louis gurgled with a mouthful of congee. Jessica quickly shot him an irritated where-are-your-manners look.
�I�m taking Kevin to SOHO, Macy�s Herald Visitors Center, Manhattan Mall...�
Kevin was nearly choking on his breakfast listening to Niki.
�Honey, you need to go easy on Kevin�s wallet,� Rebecca suggested, �don�t you need to save money for the future?�
Kevin discreetly mouthed the words �thank you� to Rebecca, who winked back at him.
�I signed us up for the New York Helicopter Sightseeing Tours,� Vicki beamed with excitement, �I want Alec to see the entire city.�
Alec gulped his orange juice nervously, thinking back to his previous airplane ride.
�Are you ok, Alec? You look a bit green,� Jessica asked while looking at him with concern.
Vicki smiled and answered for him. �Oh he�s fine, he just had too much French toast.�
�Michelle, if you don�t have anything to do, do you want to come with me and your father to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden?� Rebecca asked her youngest daughter, who was eating her breakfast in silence, looking like there were many things on her mind.
�Oh she�s busy. She�s coming with me to the Madison Square Garden�s All Access Tour, and then we�ll be staying there for the Knicks game,� Bobby stated after swallowing his Noodles.
Michelle�s face lit up as she cried, �Oh my gosh! Are you for real?�
�Of course. Remember I used to take you there every year before I left for Hong Kong,� Bobby said, looking at the suddenly bubbly Michelle.
She threw her arms around her uncle and planted a huge kiss on his cheek. �You�re the best uncle in the world.�
___________________________________________________________
�Which one did you like better, The Four Seasons or the Plaza?� Jessica asked, taking another look at the two brochures in her hand. She was making last minute comparisons after leaving the Plaza Hotel.
�It�s up to you, Jess. Whatever makes you happy,� Louis replied, looking bewildered at his surroundings. He�s never seen New York and to him, it was quite the culture shock.
Jessica shook her head at her dorky fianc�. �Stop looking like a tourist and help me pick a place. We still haven�t found a place for the ceremony.�
�Jess, I am a tourist! And I really wanna go see Central Park right now,� Louis said eagerly, pulling her across the street towards the park.
�What is your big fascination with Central Park?� Jessica groaned, as Louis dragged her into the park�s grounds.
�You�ll see,� Louis said eagerly. His eyes were filled with excitement.
___________________________________________________________
�Phew�that was a work out,� Niki sighed, wiping sweat off her forehead as she scurried down the busy street of Manhattan.
�Wait up,� Kevin grunted from behind, lugging at least fifteen shopping bags with him, �Nik, my arms feels like they�re gonna fall off.�
Niki rolled her eyes and teased, �I thought you were stronger than that. Did New York make you all soft and mushy?� She laughed and jabbed her index finger right at Kevin�s gut then ran madly down the street, yelling �Pudgy!�
�Hey!� Kevin yelped from the sharp pain. He quickly regained his composure, and came running after Niki, ready to tickle the daylights out of her.
___________________________________________________________
�Vicki, are you sure we have to do this?� Alec asked nervously before boarding the helicopter. He�s never been so scared in his life. The strong wind and the loud noise didn�t help much either.
�Trust me, you�ll be fine. I have to get you warmed up for the plane ride back. I don�t want you to use up ten barf bags again,� Vicki said sternly, grabbing Alec�s hand and practically lifting him into the helicopter.
- - -
�Tell me when we land,� Alec stuttered in terror, squeezing his eyes shut as the helicopter lifted from the ground.
Vicki was beginning to get annoyed. �Alec you look ridiculous. We�re barely off the ground,� she berated.
Alec could feel the helicopter rise higher and higher, making his stomach tighten into a knot.
�Alec! Open your eyes, the sight is gorgeous,� Vicki exclaimed as the copter neared the Empire State building. Alec only squeezed his eyes closed tighter.
Vicki sighed and shook her head. But suddenly an idea popped into her head. �If this doesn�t work, nothing will.�
She quickly grabbed Alec�s face and pulled it so that they�re lips were touching each other.
Just like magic, the knot in his stomach loosened, releasing butterflies.
Vicki gently pulled away from Alec and said, �Well, I guess that did the trick. Now will you please look outside?�
Swallowing hard, Alec turned his head towards the window and gasped once he saw the extraordinarily beautiful scenery from above, making him forget his fear and completely speechless.
�See, I told you the sight is breathtaking,� Vicki said once she saw the expression on Alec�s face.
�Not as breathtaking as your kiss,� Alec whispered, pulling Vicki closer so that she was leaning on his shoulder. The couple sighed as the helicopter proceeded further into the magnificent site of the city.
___________________________________________________________
�Don�t you just love it here?� Louis said after reaching the Bethesda Fountain on the lake in Central Park. He sat down on the nearby bench and took a deep breath, taking in the fresh air.
Jessica melted at the romantic and tranquil atmosphere of the Bethesda Terrace. She had always been in love with this area of the park since her parents took her there when she was eight years old. Jessica walked to the fountain and tossed in a coin and closed her eyes, making a secret wish.
�How did you know about this place? I thought you�ve never been to New York before let alone Central Park,� Jessica asked, sitting down next to Louis.
�We drove by here yesterday, and I couldn�t help but notice the goofy expression on your face,� Louis teased, taking off his baseball cap, placing it on Jessica�s head.
She narrowed her eyes and crossly repeated, �Goofy?�
�Yes, goofy. But maybe we shouldn�t have our wedding ceremony here cuz you�ll have that goofy expression on your face in all the pictures,� Louis sighed mellowly.
Jessica was speechless. She stared at Louis, not being able to digest what he just told her. Jessica thought she was hallucinating as she replayed what he just said to her.
�Did you just say we�re having our ceremony here?� Jessica finally uttered. She didn�t even realize her lips were curving into a smile.
�Yup, that�s the goofy expression I was talking about.� Louis nodded and pulled out his phone, snapping a picture at the wide eyed Jessica.
She grabbed Louis�s collar and shouted the same question, �ARE WE HAVING OUR CEREMONY HERE!?�
�Yes!� Louis yelled back.
Jessica�s squealed could be heard by everyone in the park. She threw her arms around Louis�s neck and pulled him into a suffocating hug. It looks like her wish just came true.
___________________________________________________________
�I�m so excited. I haven�t been to a Knicks game in ages!� Michelle�s eyes were gleaming with excitement. She was dressed in jeans and a fitted Knicks jersey with her hair pulled back into a cute pony tail, causing many male eyes to wander over to her.
�You even got us floor seats! How did you manage?� Michelle asked in awe.
Bobby only smiled mischievously and shrugged.
�Oh my god! The game is starting!� She acclaimed, clapping her hands together as the players filed onto the court.
- - -
Michelle�s throat was throbbing from all the cheering as half time came rolling around.
�I can�t believe we�re trailing by one,� Michelle yelled above the crowd, �and I�m frikkin parched from all this yelling.�
�Wait here, I�ll go get you a Coke,� Bobby said as people began clearing to the aisles during half-time.
�Do you want me to come with you?� Michelle asked, standing up getting ready to follow him.
�No, you wait there. I�ll be back really fast,� Bobby said with a wink. With that, he scurried down the aisle to the concession stand.
As she was waiting for her uncle to come back with her drink, Michelle looked up curiously to the Jumbotron and rolled her eyes as a mushy proposal message was being displayed, �Marry Me, Michelle. You�re the only girl for me.�
�That�s so clich�, couldn�t that guy think of a better way to propose to his girlfriend,� Michelle snorted as she read the message out loud to herself. To her surprise, she found her own image being displayed on the jumbo screen.
�Uncle Bob, look, I�m on the Jumbotron!� Michelle said tugging on his sweater as he sat down next to her, �And some nerd just proposed to his girlfriend on there,�
�Nerd!? I resent that!�
Michelle jerked her head at the sound of the familiar voice, not her uncle�s familiar voice, but someone else�s.
Michelle stared at the person sitting next to her. She was dumbfounded and wasn�t able to find a single word to say.
Ron grabbed Michelle�s hands and said softly, �Hi Michelle, I wanted this to be a surprise.� When she still didn�t give him a reaction, he continued, �I know we haven�t been dating for that long, but my heart is telling me this is the right thing to do.�
After those words, Ron suddenly got down on one knee and pulled out a little silver box with a tiny pink silky ribbon wrapped around it.
�Marry me, Michelle?� He asked nervously, his eyes filled with hope as he looked upon Michelle�s face.
She continued to stare at him with wide eyes, dumbstruck and still not uttering a single word. The crowd around them started to cheer on Ron, but Michelle was too baffled to notice.
�You know some sort of reaction would be good right now,� Ron laughed uneasily, he felt a little stupid down on one knee in front of all these strangers. Their image was still being displayed on the Jumbotron, and Ron could feel his ears and face turning red hot. As he looked at Michelle, Ron thought it was a good sign to see her face fluster.
�WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN YOU JERK!! I hate you, hate you, HATE YOU!� Not being able to control herself, Michelle began slapping and punching Ron repeatedly.
That was not quite the reaction he was expecting.
People around him began to snicker and point. Maybe proposing in public on the Jumbotron wasn�t such a good idea afterall.
�Moron! You know how many times I tried calling you!� Michelle bellowed. Looking around at all the people trying not to laugh, she realized they were being seen by thousands of people. Michelle lowered her voice and plopped back down onto her seat. She was still infuriated with this moron of hers.
�I�m sorry, babe! I wanted this to be a surprise,� Ron reiterated, getting off his knee and taking the seat next to Michelle. He still wasn�t quite sure why she was mad.
Gritting her teeth, Michelle growled, �Whatever you LIAR! I know all about TIFFANY!�
�Tiffany?! Who in the world�� Ron looked at the box in his hand and started laughing hysterically.
�What�s so funny, you frikkin two-timing mother-f�� Ron slap his hand onto Michelle�s lips before the string of profanity could escape her mouth.
He tore off the ribbon, opened the little silver box, and showed Michelle the Tiffany and Co. words engraved on the inside. �I think this is the Tiffany you were talking about.�
Ron snickered as Michelle narrowed her eyes and studied the words. She seemed to be more interested in the writing on the box than the huge Princess cut diamond sitting in it.
�Yoyo told me you picked up the phone one time when she called to tell me your ring was ready. I told her in advance that the ring was a surprise for my girlfriend so that�s why she didn�t tell you who she was. I didn't know what a mess it became after that,� Ron explained, hoping Michelle would believe him, �I had to order this thing all the way from L.A since they didn�t have this model in any other Tiffany's.�
Michelle studied Ron�s face and looked deep into his eyes while listening intently to his words. Ron wasn�t stuttering at all, and his eyes were filled with sincerity. Michelle thought back to her mother�s words...If she loved him then she needed to have faith in him.
Ron pulled out his cell and exclaimed anxiously, �If you don�t believe me, I can call this Tiffany number and...�
�...I...trust you,� Michelle said, lowering her voice to a whisper.
�You do?� Ron asked eagerly, ready to leap through the ceiling in happiness. "Does that mean you�ll marry me?�
Ron could sense the mischief sparkling in Michelle�s eyes as she said, �Only if the Knicks win this game��
- - -
�Tough luck man, maybe next time you should bet on the Heats to get the girl,� a kid wearing a Miami Jersey mocked as he walked past Ron in the corridor, �Everyone knows the Knicks suck!�
The kid would have had a black eye if Michelle didn�t pulled Ron back.
- - -
�Ron, stop banging your head against the wall. They only lost by 3 points,� Michelle comforted as they made their way to the subway station.
�They only lost by 3 but I LOST A WIFE!� Ron cried with a whimper, his forehead pressed against the wall.
�Who said?� Michelle said in a low voice.
Ron tried not to sound like he was about to cry, as he exerted, �You did! You said you�ll marry me only if the Knicks win this game.�
�I did say only if the Knicks win, but I didn�t say I woulnd't marry you if they didn�t win.� Michelle felt her face burning red as she stared at Ron, waiting for him to sweep her off her feet.
She stared at him for about thirty seconds and all he gave her was a blank stare and a �Huh?�
�You�re kidding me right? Please tell me you�re joking,� Michelle said in disbelief, looking like she was about his can him.
�Huh?� He asked again, scratching his head. All Ron needed was a tail, a banana, and a tree to go with the impression he was giving.
Michelle shook her head and stormed down the stairs towards the subway. She couldn�t believe how stupid this moron was.
�You idiot! That means she�ll marry you,� an old lady standing nearby yelled into Ron�s face. It was obvious she was eavesdropping, but even if she didn't listen in, anyone with half a brain could tell what Michelle meant.
Raising both eyebrows, Ron shouted stupidly, �She did!?�
He was suddenly feeling very nauseous and drowsy. Drowsy because he was overwhelmed with happiness, but nauseous because he was worried that Michelle would change her mind.
�What are you waiting for, dumbass! Chase after her!� The old lady cackled. She would�ve whack Ron with her cane if he stood there any longer.
�Michelle!�Michelle!�Mich�wait for me,� Ron yelled, frantically running around the subway station trying to find her. She was nowhere to be seen.
Ron looked at the train that just arrived and saw Michelle walk aboard. He ran with all his might trying to catch the her but it was too late.
�AHHH!� Ron yelled as the door slid closed. He kicked the side of the subway before it speedily took off.
�RON NG, YOU�RE THE BIGGEST MORON ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH!� He yelled at the top of his lungs as he looked after the disappearing train.
�I agree,� a girl�s voice said from behind.
Ron turned around swiftly and thought he was delirious.
�But I thought you got on...� Ron said stupidly, pointing to the empty tunnel.
�I can�t believe you've mistaken some other girl for me,� Michelle sighed, shaking her head, pretending to be disappointed.
�I didn�t mean to�I mean�I thought. AHHH! I can�t do this! I don�t even know what to say anymore,� Ron cried frustratingly as he grabbed a fist pull of hair and starting yanking on it.
�You know what, Devil Woman! I wanna be with you. And that�s the only thing I can think of right now.�
�Wow, you think you�re gonna get the girl calling her Devil Woman?� Michelle asked, staring long and hard at Ron.
�Ya! That�s what you get for being so goddamn difficult all the time, Devil Woman!� Ron closed his eyes, anticipating a slap, a kick, or simply her just walking away.
�I love you, moron!� Michelle squealed, throwing herself at Ron, who lost his balance, making them both come plunging down onto the cement.
�I love you Ron Ng Cheuk Hei!!� Michelle repeated, lying on top of him, before she planted a kiss on his lips.
�Does that mean you�ll marry me?� He asked just to make sure.
Michelle crawled off and sat on the ground. She smiled at him and held out her left hand.
�Please tell me you know what to do now,� Michelle sighed, holding up her left hand, wiggling her ring finger around as a hint.
�Of course I know what to do, Devil Woman. I'm not that stupid.� Ron quickly grabbed her hand and pulled out the little box from his jacket pocket.
He gently slipped the ring onto Michelle�s finger and said triumphantly, �Well, I guess you�re no longer Devil Woman but Mrs. Moron.�
Michelle lowered her head then looked up bursting with laughter.
�I can�t believe you just admitted to being a moron!� She sputtered, falling over onto the cement.
�Ha-ha. You�re so funny. I�ll show you what a moron can do!� With that said, Ron grabbed Michelle�s face and placed a long, passionate kiss on her lips.
When he pulled away for a breath, Michelle grabbed his shirt and pulled him back. They closed their eyes, letting their passion take over, despite the curious eyes of strangers lurking in the subway.
