?Uh?I think I?ll go turn off the water now.? Myolie held onto the counter as she splashed through the puddle of water passed Bosco. She turned the knob to the right until the water stopped coming out. ?We should probably get out of these wet clothes.? Myolie suggested. ?Why don?t you come with me upstairs and I?ll get you some of Raymond?s clothes to change into.?
Myolie opened the closet door and pulled out a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. She handed them to Bosco, ?I think these should fit you. Do you want to change in here and I?ll go change in the bathroom.?
?Yeah, sure that?s fine with me.? Bosco nodded.

?Yee I?m home.? Raymond announced as he closed the door behind him. ?Yee? Maybe she went out.?
Raymond sniffed the air, something didn?t smell right. Raymond rushed into the kitchen worried that something may have happened to Myolie. He didn?t see Myolie; he only found a wok on the stove and water everywhere on the ground. Raymond frowned, but it quickly turned into a smile. Raymond chuckled as he shook his head. She?d done it again, but nevertheless he still loved her. ?Good think I decided to have this installed??
Raymond quickly went upstairs to check on Myolie. He knocked on Myolie?s bedroom door, ?Myo, are you okay? Did you burn yourself?? No one answered. Raymond knocked again, ?Myolie, are you in there?? He reached for the doorknob when the door was pulled open. Bosco and Raymond were now standing face to face.
?Who are you?? Raymond questioned. ?Why are you in my house? What have you done with Myolie? And how come you?re wearing my shirt??
Right that moment Myolie opened the bathroom door and came out. ?Raymond I?m right here.? She walked over to stand between Raymond and Bosco.
?Myolie, are you okay?? Raymond asked concernedly as he looked at her up and down, from left to right. ?Did he do anything to you?? Raymond asked as he continued to check to make sure Myolie was alright. He inspected her to the point to make sure she hadn?t lost a single strand of hair.
?Raymond, I?m okay, really, I?m not hurt. And this is my friend and doctor, Bosco Wong.? Myolie introduced.
?Bosco, this is Raymond Lam, he?s my??
?I?m her fiancé®” Raymond cut into Myolie?s sentence.
?Yeah, Myolie told me about you. It?s nice to meet you.? Bosco stuck out his hand.
Raymond put out his hand too and shook Bosco?s.
?Let?s not all stand here. Why don?t we go back downstairs?? Myolie suggested.
Raymond turned around and headed down the stairs followed by Myolie then Bosco. Raymond had a semi-fuming look on his face.
?I?m really sorry Raymond, are you mad at me?? Myolie asked sincerely.
Raymond stopped on the step and turned around. He frowned, ?Why would I be mad at you??
?I?m sorry about what happened about what happened to the kitchen.? Myolie apologized again.
Raymond gave her an assuring smile, ?How could I ever be angry at you. I?m sure it wasn?t you?re fault.? Raymond said as he looked pass Myolie and eyed Bosco.
?Bosco and I were planning on cooking dinner??
?Mr. Lam if there are any damages to your kitchen just let me know I?ll be more than glad to pay for it.?
Raymond gave him a smirk, ?I don?t think that?ll be necessary.? He looked back at Myolie, ?Yee, I think maybe we should go out and eat tonight.?
?That sounds like a good idea. Bosco would you like to come with us?? Myolie asked.
Bosco didn?t want to say no, but he sensed Raymond didn?t like him too much, so he declined Myolie?s offer. ?Nah, I don?t think so. I have something to do. I should get going.?
Myolie had also sensed Raymond?s unfriendliness towards Bosco, ?Raymond, Bosco?s my friend. I?d like for him to have dinner with us.?
?Myolie, it?s okay, I really think I shouldn?t.?
?If Myolie insists that you go with us Dr. Wong, then you should join us.? Raymond said through his clenched teeth smile.

Raymond took them to a nice, high class, fancy restaurant. They were seated at a square table; Raymond sitting to Myolie?s right and Bosco to her left.
?Mr. Lam would you like me to get Bobby for you?? The waitress asked.
?Yeah, if you don?t mind.?
?Okay, I?ll be right back.?
?Are you a regular customer here?? Bosco asked.
?You could say that. This is Myolie and my favorite restaurant.? Raymond replied proudly.
A chubby man in his late 40?s walked towards their table and greeted them, ?Mr. and Mrs. Lam.?
Myolie looked up at the person who was now standing between her and Raymond. He placed his hands on both of their shoulders.
?How are you Mr. and Mrs. Lam doing?? Bobby asked enthusiastically with a jolly smile.
?I?m sorry, are you talking to me?? Myolie asked with a puzzled look.
?Bobby, how many times do I have to tell you, we?re not married yet, ga.? Raymond reminded.
Bobby gasped, ?Not married yet! I haven?t seen you guys in such a long time. I figured you two secretly got married already. I thought you two just got back from your honeymoon.?
?No, if we get married, we?ll be sure to tell you Bobby. How could we not, you?re the best chef in Hong Kong. We?ll have to hold our wedding reception here.?
?Aiya, I don?t know what you two are waiting for. You guys have practically been together for almost a decade now.?
?Not quite, only 8 years.?
?Only 8! My goodness! See, it has been a really long time. I still remember it like yesterday when Raymond came in here. He told me that he didn?t have a lot of money and couldn?t afford a nice and decent meal for his girlfriend, but it was her birthday so he begged me to help him.?
?I didn?t know how to help him at the time, but I cooked a meal for him and arranged a table for them. I was only a low level chef at time so I couldn?t do much??
?But now not only are you the main chef, but you?re the owner too.?
Myolie listened as Bobby and Raymond talked back about that day.
?I remember we sat over there.? Myolie pointed to a small table near the kitchen entrance. ?I remember telling Raymond I didn?t need a fancy dinner, but he kept telling me he had it all planned out.
**Flashback**
Raymond pulled Myolie along until they arrived in front of the restaurant.
?Raymond I told you already, we don?t have to eat here. I?ll be just as happy of we eat at McDonalds, as long as I?m with you it doesn?t really matter where we eat.?
?It?s your birthday. I want something special for you. Come on, I have everything set.? Raymond led Myolie inside. ?I have reservations for two, the name is Raymond Lam?
Bobo looked at her list of reservations when she came across a post-it from Bobby.?
?Ah, the customer Uncle Bobby told me about, okay, this way Mr. Lam.?
Bobo led them to a small table in the very back. It was clearly not one of the usual tables of the restaurant?nothing really matched, the tablecloth and napkins were of different colors, but none of that mattered to Myolie, it was Raymond?s thoughts that counted.
Raymond pulled out a beautiful bouquet of roses. ?Happy Birthday Yee.? He gave her a peck on the cheek.
Myolie gladly accepted them with a smile on her face. Raymond pulled out the seat for Myolie.
?Hello Ms. Wu, I?m Bobby, your chef for tonight.? You meal tonight has been specially made for you. He lifted off the covers of the different dishes one by one, the last one he opened contained two steak filets that were in the shape of hearts.?
?Enjoy your meal.?
**End of Flashback**
Myolie smiled as she remembered that day. Everything seemed so sweet about that day.
Bobby laughed, ?Myolie, you were so happy you were in tears. You kept thanking me that night and I had to tell you it was really nothing??
?It meant a lot to me.?
?Well I?m glad, I can?t believe something so simple that I cook for my wife all the time can be so meaningful to someone?and my wife says that I?m not creative enough and need to think of new dishes?? Bobby shrugged his shoulders, ?Well what can I get you all for dinner tonight??
?Do you mind if I follow you back to the kitchen and see what?s fresh Bobby??
?Everything?s fresh and looks good, but you?re a VIP here so of course you can go into the kitchen??
Raymond left with Bobby leaving Myolie and Bosco to chat. Bosco couldn?t help but feel sad. It was obvious Raymond loved Myolie and he was sure that she loved him too. They had a close relationship and he could tell that Myolie was truly happy, the way she smiled at her memory with Raymond it was so genuine. They shared this special connection that was indescribable.
?You like him a lot.? Bosco commented.
?I?I?m not sure. I feel something special between the two of us and Raymond?s a really nice guy. He?s almost perfect in everyway. He cares for me and I know he loves me.?
?You don?t feel the same??
?It?s just if he was so perfect then how come we had a fight??
Confused, Bosco asked, ?You two had a fight recently??
?No it was before my accident?I don?t even know what it was about?I?ve tried really hard to remember??
?Take it easy, don?t force yourself to remember.?
Myolie smiled at him and nodded, ?I know, I?m sure it come back to me eventually?.?
After 20 minutes Raymond still hadn?t returned.
?I wonder what?s taking him so long.?
Finally Raymond pushed a cart out. He had cooked the exact same meat they shared 8 years ago.
?I know it?s not your birthday, but I hope you?ll still like it.?
Myolie was speechless.
Bosco knew he?d lost before even trying. The things that Raymond did, which girl wouldn?t like him? There was no point in competing against him. He should step out before he actually developed too much feelings for Myolie, or had he already?
Raymond set the food in front of Myolie and his spot. Then he placed a plate in front of Bosco. ?I asked Bobby to cook this for you. It?s his specialty, I think you?ll like it Dr. Wong.?
?Thanks, it looks really good.?
After dinner, Bosco got out his wallet to pay.
?I got it Dr. Wong.? Raymond said as he pulled out his wallet as well.
?No, I should get it, after all I did cause a mess in your kitchen. It?s the least I could do to make up for it.?
?I?ll get it, it?s to thank you for taking care of Myolie when she was in the hospital.?
Bobby came over to their table again, ?No need to argue gentlemen, the meal is on the house. Plus Raymond, you did most of the labor anyways.?
They all thanked Bobby.
?You guys have a good night and you two, ?Bobby pointed to Raymond and Myolie, ?Don?t forget to tell me when you get married, I want to call you guys Mr. and Mrs. Lam next time I see you.?
Raymond chuckled, ?We won?t forget you.?
They waved good bye and left.
?I guess I?m going to go home now, uh Mr. Lam I?ll get your clothes back to you??
?Oh, you can keep them if you?d like.? Raymond said in hopes of never having to see Bosco again.
?Bosco, you can just give it back to me when we have lunch. I?ll maybe give you a call later in the way okay??
?Yeah, that sounds okay to me.? Bosco said before walking away towards his car.
Raymond glared at Bosco?s back with fire in his eyes.
