The Reason: Ch 21

Ch 21

The next morning she woke up and found herself in bed, but a bed that wasn’t hers. She recalled about what happened last night and realized that she was at Ron’s. He was nowhere in sight which made her feel a bit unease. But when she heard that warm voice all the doubts in her heart disappeared.

Ron: Morning.

Linda: Morning

Ron: About last night, I…

Linda: It’s ok. I know there’s nothing between us…and I totally understand…it was all an accident.

Ron: I’m sorry. I would be lying to you if I told you I feel the same way as you do but I’ll try if you want to give me a chance, give us a chance.

Linda: We’ll see.

Ron: Well, I’ll go buy breakfast and you can change into something while I’m gone.

Linda: Ok.

As he left her there she wasn’t saddened by the fact that he didn’t love her but she was happy that he didn’t lie to her. For once she found someone who wouldn’t lie to her. For once she found someone who would try to love her whole-heartedly rather than pretend to love her. She was glad that the person she spent her first night with was Ron.

~Ron’s thoughts~

What have I done? I wasn’t drunk or anything…then why did it happen? What am I suppose to do? It’s not right. It’s so unfair to her. What if I ruined her life? I guess the first line in the song The Reason is just so true “I’m not a perfect person, there’s many things I wished I didn’t do”.

Do I love her?

~End of his thoughts~

He went out to buy congee and came back and he saw her cleaning up his place. She was looking through his photo albums while wearing his clothes, which made him laugh.

Ron: Maybe I should go and buy you something to wear?

Linda: no need.

Ron: Well then let’s eat.

There was an eerie silence in the air as they ate cause they both didn’t want to mention what happened last night or anything else. They just sat there and ate until finally Ron finished his and walked over to the sink and started washing the bowl. Linda sat there not saying a word she wanted to tell him that maybe they should give each other a chance yet she had a feeling that Ron has someone else in his heart that he didn’t know about. She didn’t want to be a third wheel in his love life.

Ron’s Perspective:

The next few weeks passed by quickly as the relationship between Tavia and Raymond was now stable you could say. It’s funny how the two of them from enemies turned into lovers. Bosco and Myolie still used the pictures that they took a while back to threaten me and blackmail me to switch shifts so that Myolie can go out with him. I remember that day when Myolie saw Leila and I sitting around talking she sang, “ Love is in the air” as she walked past us.

Between Linda and I, nothing really developed. Maybe she’s trying to avoid me now because of what happened that night. But it’s been hard trying to talk to her and she’s become great friends with Tavia supposedly. She’s always with her, maybe that’s her way of avoiding me. Her exam is coming up in two weeks and hopefully both her and Leila are successful.

It’s been Leila’s lifelong dream to become a doctor. I really hope all her dreams can come true.

End of his perspective

Ron: Linda!

She finally turned around.

Linda: Ya.

Ron: I want to talk to you.

Linda: Aren’t we already talking?

Ron: You know what I mean.

Linda: Ok, your office then?

Ron: Ya.

They walked to his office as soon as they entered Ron closed the door.

Ron: You look pale. Are you ok?

Linda: I’m fine.

Ron: Are you sure?

Linda: Yes.

Ron: I don’t want you to be fainting when you’re on those long hour shifts.

Linda: I’ll be ok.

Ron: How about dinner?

Linda: Tonight?

Ron: If you’re not busy.

Linda: Umm…I already made plan.

Ron: Oh. Well then I guess you should be going.

Linda: Ya. Bye.

She left him sitting there all alone wondering about what he’d done. Why is she like that? He killed her spirit. He felt guilty for doing the things he did but he can’t change the past, he can only hope for a better future. She wasn’t only an interim or someone who he slept with by accident but she was his friend and he could tell from the way she speaks to the way she looks at him or the way she plays with her hair that she was trying to avoid him. He couldn’t just sit there he had to go after her.

He ran down the hallway, down the stairs and to the parking lot. She was nowhere in sight. He got on his car and drove and saw her standing at the bus stop. She was avoiding him pretending she made plans…then she fainted.

Ron got out of his car and rushed to her side. He quickly picked her up and ran into the hospital to get someone to look at her. He stood outside as she was inside the examination room being looked at by Myolie.

Ron stood out there worrying about her until he caught sight of Leila. She walked over to him and tried to comfort him.

Leila: Ron, What’s wrong?

Ron: She’s in there.

Leila: Who?

Ron: Linda.

Leila: What happened?

Ron: I don’t know…she was at the bus stop and she fainted.

Leila: Ron, you know she’s been avoiding you.

He nodded.

Leila: what happened?

Ron whispered in her ear what happened and she gasped not knowing what to say, her heart seem to have sank to the bottomless pit formed in her body. She couldn’t believe it.

Ron: But the thing is I don’t feel anything between us.

Leila: Did you tell her that?

Ron nodded.

Leila: Ron! How could you?

Ron: I don’t know. I didn’t want to mislead her and I just had to let her know.

Leila: What’s wrong with Linda? Why don’t you like her?

Ron: I don’t know. There’s just no spark, no chemistry. Leila, I don’t know what to do.

Leila: Don’t worry…(she embraced him and then gave him a peck on the cheek before she left)

This time her kiss didn’t make him feel any better.

~Inside the examination room~

Linda finally woke up.

Linda: Where am I?

Myolie: You’re back in the hospital silly.

Linda: Oh.

Myolie: We did a check up and we found out that…

Linda: I know. Please don’t tell anyone.

Myolie: Don’t worry everything will be kept confidential.

Linda: Thank you.

Tavia came in and told everyone else to leave as she spoke to Linda.

Tavia: So what are you going to do?

Linda: Well, my exam and stuff are in two weeks; after I get my M.D. I’m planning to go to L.A. where my parents are and stay there for a while to get everything straight and clear up some stuff.

Tavia: Does Ron know?

Linda: I’m not planning to tell him.

Tavia: But he’ll feel so bad not being able to stop you from leaving. After all he is a real sensitive guy.

Linda: Well then the sooner I leave the better.

Tavia: Why would you say that?

Linda: Cause if I’m around he’ll never figure out whom he truly loves.

Tavia: And you know?

Linda nodded.

Tavia: Well I guess if you made your choice then, you should go on with it. I’ll promise to help you keep the secret.

Linda: Thanks. (She hugged Tavia and went out of the examination room to face Ron)

~In the main foyer~

Ron: So…what happened?

Linda: I was just tired. I think I’ll take a few days off to prepare for my exam if that’s ok with you.

Ron: Sure…as long as you’re safe.

Linda: Thanks. (She began to walk away)

Ron grabbed her arm: Hey, how about I drive you home. It’s the least I can do.

Linda: Ok.

They walked out to the parking lot where Ron got his car and drove her home. On the way home she couldn’t help but look at him. She knew that she would miss him just so much if she leaves. But she had to, it was the right thing to do…or at least she thought it was the right thing to do. By the time he drove her back she had fallen asleep even though the ride was only 15 minutes.

Ron looked as her as she fell asleep in his car. He didn’t know if he loved her or not and most importantly he didn’t want to hurt her. He just sat there and looked at her while she slept. Finally he decided to plant a kiss on her forehead.

Ron whispered: I’m sorry; I can’t say I love you when I don’t know if I do.

Linda heard these words and a tear rolled down her cheek. She loved him even though they’ve only known each other for a few months he had become her everything. Every morning when she gets up she looks forward to seeing his smiling face at the hospital. But she was now more disappointed than ever knowing that after all they’ve been through he still didn’t feel anything for her at all. She finally woke up and turned to him.

Linda: Bye…(She whispered) I’ll miss you…Ron.

Ron didn’t want to see her leave but he didn’t know what to do because he didn’t want to mislead her…

=====================

Oh the twist...lol Remember to comment.

Happy New Year's Eve! (And if you're reading this in 2012, then Happy NEW YEAR!!!) I'll see you later in 2012!

The Reason: Ch 20

Ch 20

~One week later~

Ron waited for her in his nice black tux. He even bought a bouquet just to be a gentleman. He looked down at his Rolex watch and it was 6:00 p.m. They were going to be late if she doesn’t come down and being late was one thing Ron didn’t want to do. That would mean being the center of attention and being stared at by all of those people.

Finally she appeared dressed in a beautiful and elegant evening gown. Her beauty captured Ron’s eyes. For the first time he saw her looking like this, very feminine and the features of her gown just accentuated her natural beauty. She smiled when he came into her sight. She too had never seen him so dressed up. He looked great, magnificent even in his tux with his hair nicely done and not scrunched up in a mess. He then walked over to her handing her a bouquet of roses, which made her smile. Even though this wasn’t her first time receiving flowers from a guy but it was the first from him.

Ron: Can we please get going before we come in late and be the center of attention?

Linda: Fine!

Ron opened the door for her and she got in.

He drove to the Radisson hotel where the ball was being held and entered the hotel with Linda’s arm locked in his. The many pairs of eyes were staring them down and made them feel uncomfortable, finally a familiar face.

Raymond: Ron! Over here!

Ron looked around and saw Raymond with Tavia.

Ron and Linda came over.

Ron: So after that night you two are…

Tavia: No. We just met each other here.

Ron: Oooo…

Raymond: So you ditched my little sister for her eh?

Ron: Where is Leila?

Raymond: Over there with Sammul and Nancy. (Pointing to the drinks table)

Ron: Linda, you wouldn’t mind standing around talking to Ray while I go over there and say hi to them?

Linda: No.

Ron: I’ll be back.

He walked over to where Leila was and tapped her on the other shoulder, which made her turn and look the wrong way. When she turned back he was there in front of her.

Leila: You left your date with my brother? Aren’t you afraid that she’ll like him?

Ron: It doesn’t matter. I just asked her to go with me so that she would feel welcome at our hospital. Nothing more…I think.

Leila: So…

Ron: Who did you go with?

Leila: Does it matter?

Ron: Of course it does!

Leila: I made Raymond take me.

Ron: And he actually agreed?

Leila: Well, I threatened to tell his story…you know…

Ron: Oooo…I see.

The two of them began to laugh until they noticed that the people there had began to dim the lights and the music was on.

Leila: Hey, I think you should go back to your date now since my brother just went to talk Tavia. She’s standing there all by herself.

Ron: How about you?

Leila: Don’t worry about me I’ll be fine.

Ron: You sure?

Leila: Ya.

Ron: Ok…I guess I’ll go then. I’ll see you later?

Leila: Of course!

Ron walked over to Linda.

Ron: Would you like to share this dance with me?

Linda smiled and gladly accepted.

On the dance floor Ron placed his hands on her waist. At first they were dancing at a distance but soon they moved in closer, and Ron slowly wrapped his arms around her waist making her feel safe and secure as she put her arms on his broad shoulders. She had wished that that dance would last forever because she didn’t want to let him go. As soon as the song was over…

Ron looked at her and smiled: Hey, I’m going to go check on Leila if that’s okay with you.

Linda: Sure.

She was disappointed but she couldn’t let him know then it would mean to reveal to him that she had fallen for him.

Ron went over to Leila and grabbed her hand.

Ron: Dance?

Leila: What about Linda?

Ron: She’ll be fine.

Leila: You know you should stay with her.

Ron: But what about you?

Leila: I told you I’d be fine. But Linda, this is her first time here and she barely knows anyone. Ron I know you’re a nice guy and all but it’s ok if you don’t dance with me, I’ll be fine. Go back.

Ron: Fine. If you’re going to be ok then there’s no point in me standing around.

He left Leila and walked back to Linda. From a far he could see that she wasn’t enjoying herself or anything but she was rather quiet and barely spoke to anyone.

Ron grabbed her hand and ran off with her.

Ron: Come on; let me show you around before you become as stiff as a rock.

Linda: What are talking about? I’m fine.

Ron: I’m not blind and by the looks of it you look pretty bored.

She followed him cause she had no choice but on the other hand as they ran outside hand in hand she felt as if she was the luckiest person in the world.

Ron: Some fresh air never hurts.

Linda smiled: It’s so nice out!

Ron: It’s gorgeous, almost as gorgeous as you.

Linda blushed hearing him compliment her.

Ron: I mean it. You look magnificent.

Linda: Thanks.

Ron: Do you want to go for a drive and leave this place?

She nodded and as he drove and they talked they realized that they shared so much in common. Finally he stopped his car at the beach.

Linda: Have you ever joined “Doctors Without Borders”?

Ron: I did last year when the Tsunami hit Thailand.

Linda: That must’ve been a great experience.

Ron: It was. Not only was I able to help people but also I was able to see how difficult life is and I learned to cherish what I have, and never let a moment pass me by.

He drove her to his place and showed her some of the souvenirs that he got as well as the presents the little kids there made for him. As he was looking through the stuff an album fell out which made him think of all of the things that had happened in the past.

He looked at her with these saddened eyes as a tear rolled down his cheek memories of his parents, of his girlfriend rushed through his head. In his eyes she could tell that he’d been through a lot and now he uses his warm smile to cover up all of those pain. She wanted to be there for him. As he continued to look at her they began to come in closer and closer until finally….
==============================

WHAT? ya...

Anywho...I'll be back once more or so before the new year

The Reason: Ch 19

Raymond: So Tavia, how’s your ankle?

Tavia: It’s a lot better, thank you.

Raymond: Well, we better get…

Leila: Raymond!

Raymond: Look who it is….

Tavia turned around and caught sight of both Ron and Leila. She walked towards them and Ron instantly noticed that she had sprained her ankle. Before she got to them Ron ran to her.

Ron: You sprained your ankle?

Tavia: Ya, last night.

Ron: Raymond, I told you to watch her.

Raymond: I did!

Tavia: It’s not his fault.

Ron: Are you all right? Do you want me to take a look at it?

Tavia: It’s fine. We all better get going now or else we’ll be late.

The four of the got into the elevator and went downstairs.

Linda was already down there, ready to work. Today was her first 30-hour shift, not only was she excited but also energetic?

Ron: Linda!

She turned around and saw him coming out of the elevator, her eyes caught his and she was lost. Ron walked over to her and placed his hand on her shoulder.

Ron: Are you ready for today?

Linda: Of course!

Ron smiled seeing how excited she was reminded him of how excited he was when he was still an interim.

Finally 20 hours passed. He knew that he needed to buy Leila a present cause after his shift ends he would have to go to her birthday party as he had promised. He was in his office sitting there restless he closed his eyes and suddenly felt someone gently putting their hands on his shoulder. He grabbed one of the hands and turned around; to his surprise it was Linda. He looked deeply into her eyes and realized that he too was beginning to like her. He didn’t know that if that feeling was “love” or was it just the fact that he admired her personality. Silence was in the air as the two of them were just looking at each other and finally broke the silence.

Ron: The ball is next week. (He still had his hand on hers)

Linda took her hand away: I know.

Ron: Are you tired?

Linda: No, but if you are you can go to asleep since we have an hour break. I’ll wake you up.

Ron: Thanks.

Linda: No problem.

Ron: I’ll sleep on the couch, so you can take my chair for now.

Linda: Ok.

Ron walked over to the couch and lied down. He was tired and confused. There were too many things on his mind but now he just needed to sleep. His eyes became heavy and he soon fell asleep.

Linda, who was sitting on his chair, was watching him sleep. She reminisced what just happened, how he held onto her hand and looked in her eyes. She had a funny feeling inside it was love. She wanted to spend every second with him. Since it was late, no one was roaming the halls, the blind in Ron’s office was down and everything was just dark. She walked over to him and looked at him. She soon bent over and gave him a peck on the forehead. She didn’t know why she did it; she just had the temptation to do so. She quickly walked over to Ron’s seat and sat there until it was time to wake him up.

~That evening~

Ron: Yes! Finally the shift is over, now I have to go find something for Leila or else I won’t be able to see tomorrow’s sunlight.

Linda started laughing.

Ron: Well, I got to go. I’ll see you tomorrow!

Linda: Bye.

Ron got into his car and drove around town looking for the right present for Leila. He knew it was the thought that counts but he still wanted to get her something that she would like, something that he had never bought her before. Then it struck him, a rose. It’s kind of funny how he had never bought her a rose before. It was always something else, something that would last. So what he bought her was…

~At Leila’s House~

All three of her brothers were there along with Tavia, Myolie and Nancy, three of her closest colleagues.

Leila: Myolie, do you know when Ron will be coming?

Myolie: You miss him already?

Leila blushed: No, I just want that present from him.

They all laughed knowing that no matter what Ron gets her she’ll always like it. Then they heard a knock on the door and there he was.

Leila: Why so late?

Ron yawned: My shift just ended and I had to go get you something.

Leila smiled at the sight of him: So what did you get me?

Ron: This. (He handed her the box) Don’t open it yet.

Leila: What if I want to?

Ron: Then I guess you can. But before you open it can you get me something to eat? I’m starving.

Leila ran to the kitchen and grabbed Ron a plate of food.

Leila: here you go.

Ron: Thanks.

When everyone had finished his or her food, it was time to open her presents and cut the cake. She started to open the presents one by one finding presents such as a stuffed animal, clothes and what not. Then it came to Ron’s present. As soon as she saw what it was a big smile appeared on her face. It wasn’t what she really wanted but it was close. He gave her a rose, a crystal rose, one that would last forever.

Ron: I hope you like it. I wanted my gift to last forever so you will never forget a friend like me.

Leila smiled: I won’t forget about you if you don’t forget about me.

Ron smiled and walked over to her and embraced her then whispered in her ear: I could never forget about you.

She loved his present, if only he said what she hoped he would one day say to her. Her feelings for him never really faded away, it was always kept in the dark and never rose to the top. She liked him as a friend but loved him cause he was truly her soul mate. He understood her better than her brothers and most importantly he was always there for her.

==========================

I hope you enjoyed it and Happy Christmas, and if you're not celebrating Christmas then Happy Holidays! I wish you all the very best during this wonderful time of year and I'll be back shortly!

Thursday, December 22, 2011

The Reason: Ch 18

Ch 18

Linda: You’re not scary, just sweaty! Go take a shower and when you’re done dinner should be ready.

Ron: If you insist. (He walked out of the kitchen, grabbed his clothes from his room and walked into the bathroom to shower)

Linda stood there in the kitchen, cutting up the vegetables, cooking the steak and stuff like that. This was the first time she was cooking for someone other than her family. She could’ve invited him out for dinner then she wouldn’t have to do any of these things. Chopping the onions was very tedious making her eyes so teary. But she wanted to cook for him, she just didn’t know why. Was it because she was really beginning to like this guy?

Ron’s shower was done and he just stood there watching her in the kitchen struggling to cut the onions. She reminded him of Ella, who use to cook for him once a week. She would even come over to clean his place. But since she’s gone he’s done all of those things by himself. He missed her but he realized he no longer loved her like he use to, seeing her again wouldn’t bring back any hidden feelings at least it shouldn’t.

After she finished cooking she carefully brought out two plates, she was totally focused on them and kind of accidentally bumped into Ron seeing how he was standing at the entrance into the kitchen.

Ron: Watch where you’re going!

Linda: Sorry.

Ron: Did anyone ever tell you how remarkably innocent you are?

Linda: What do you mean innocent?

Ron: I purposely walked into you, but you apologized.

Linda: Well, I didn’t know that, do you want me to take back my apology?

Ron started laughing: You’re a very funny person. I like you.

Those three words echoed in her mind, it made her blush it made her smile and turn her head away it made Ron wonder what he’d done.

She brought the food out to the table and went into get the utensils.

Ron: Smells good! But I wonder if it tastes any good?


Linda: Well, even if it doesn’t taste good you still better eat it all.

Ron: Hey, it’s the thought that counts so no matter how bad it is I’ll still love it.

~Linda’s thoughts~

Was he just being nice to me or did he really mean it. How come my heart started to beat faster when he said, “ I like you”? And why is it that whenever he’s around I just can’t help but smile?

~End of her thoughts~

As they were eating the phone rang and Ron didn’t hear so the answering machine went on.

Answering Machine: Please leave a message after the beep.

~BEEP~

Raymond: hey Ron, I did you the favor. You’re probably having a romantic dinner with Linda right now and totally forgot about how I had to sacrifice my precious time going out with Tavia for you. You know it’s not easy, seeing how disappointed she was when I showed up and not you. So anyways, tomorrow you have some explaining to do buddy. All right, I’ll see you tomorrow morning. Bye.

Both Ron and Linda heard that and she felt pretty good finding out that he chose her over Tavia. Did that mean anything?

So after dinner, they had nothing better to do but stare aimlessly at the TV. Power to television!!! It was around 9:00 and there was basically nothing to do.

Linda: Is there anything to do around here?

Ron: Well what do you want to do?

Linda: After all I am the guest; can you at least entertain me?

Ron: Depends what you mean by entertainment. How about I play you something on the guitar? Do you like any song in particular?

Linda: How about you just play whatever.

Ron: Ok. He began to play a song that he thought he would never play again, the song was “If” it was the song that started his relationship with Ella and also the last song he heard when she left that day.

Linda was mesmerized, she couldn’t take her eyes off of him. Not only was he a great doctor, but also he played with so much feeling, as he sat there and played, he began to sing as well and slowly she noticed tears falling from his eyes.

Ron: “If a picture paints a thousand words then why can’t I paint you? The words will never show, for you I come to know…”

She continued to stare at him until the song was over and he wiped those tears from his eyes as she still continued to stare at him. She realized that he was a very sensitive guy that cares and loves deeply. From that moment, she lost her heart to him. She was moved by his sensitivity, she fell for his humor and admired his talent.

At around 10:30 he drove her home, and met her brother who was one of Kevin’s friends that Ron once met. They said their farewells and Ron went home.

~Next Day~

Leila came into Ron’s office with a huge smile on her face.

Leila: Ron, do you remember what tomorrow is?

Ron: It’s the most important day of the year, how could I forget?

Leila: Well, GOOD! (She began to walk away when he grabbed her hand)

Ron: hey, aren’t you interested in what I did last night with Linda?

Leila: Why should I care?

Ron: As my best friend of all times you should.

Leila came back over and sat on his lap.

Leila: Here’s my ear! You can tell me the story Santa (She gave a little chuckle)

Ron: Well, we had dinner at my place and I played guitar to entertain her.

Leila: She probably has fallen for you.

Ron: What makes you say that?

Leila: come on Ron, let me guess you played “If”, which reminded you of Ella, you began to sing and tears were falling.

Ron: How did you know?

Leila: I know you better than you know yourself and if I were looking at it from a normal girl’s point of view I would fall for you too. When would you ever see a guy cry? And that song is just so sweet itself…

Ron: So…

Leila: So, she likes you now. And guess what Ron Ng that adds another person to the list of crushees. (She started laughing)

Ron: That’s just great. (With a sigh at the end) So, since you’re already sitting on my lap, tell Santa what you want.

Leila: Well, SANTA, if that’s really who you are (She giggled) I want…

Leila’s thoughts:

What I really want is to see my prince charming handing me a single rose saying three words to me.

End of her thought

Leila: I want…

Ron: Santa’s running late dear…

Leila: you to be there tomorrow. Ok Santa?

Ron: Of course!

Leila: Look at the time; I have to go before Raymond comes looking for me.

Ron: Ok, I’ll go with you; I’m supposed to be heading downstairs anyways.

The two of them left Ron’s office and headed to the elevator where they saw Raymond and Tavia talking. For the first time they WEREN’T arguing.

Leila: It’s a miracle!

Ron: What is?

Leila: Them (Pointing to Raymond and Tavia)

Ron: I guess telling Raymond to go with Tavia wasn’t a bad idea after all.

Leila: Now you’re cupid?

Ron looked down: I don’t think so I don’t have diapers on!

Leila started laughing seeing Ron’s expression.

The Reason: Ch 17

It's been a while...so, I hope you're still interested in this fanfic...

============

Ch17

Tavia: Well, since you’re here we might as well go in.

Raymond: That’s the spirit

Tavia and Raymond walked into the Concert Hall together; the symphony was ready and as the conductor strikes his baton music was in the air. Both were actually fans of classical music, even though they wouldn’t admit it like Ron would they knew they enjoyed it.

Raymond: I always wanted to learn how to play the piano.

Tavia: That’s nice to know.

Raymond: I always wanted to play a special song for the one I loved. I think expressing the way you feel in form of music is much better than in words.

This was something Tavia could agree with, but she didn’t want to let him know that she would actually agree with him. She just sat there in silence listening to the great music of the classical era.

Raymond: I guess you’re just not listening to me speak cause you’re thinking of Ron.

The name Ron really caught her attention.

Tavia: What?

Raymond: Why do like Ron?

Tavia: Because I do.

Raymond: why not me?

Tavia: You and Ron are two different people, he’s nice, sweet and gentle and you’re just you.

Raymond: What’s that suppose to mean?

Tavia: You’re not boyfriend material.

Raymond: That’s an insult.

Tavia: Hey, you wanted to know what that meant.

Raymond: But you didn’t have to be so frank.

Tavia: Sorry.

The concert ended and the two walked out of the concert hall, even people on the streets felt the tension between the two.

Raymond: I’ll drive you home.

Tavia: No need.

Raymond: Fine.

Tavia quickly walked off, her feet were sore from the high heels that made her body look fantastic but extremely uncomfortable. As she quickly walked off she tripped and sprained her ankle. She sat on the side and rubbed her ankle that was now swollen.

Raymond saw what happened and walked over to her. He bent over and gave her a hand.

Raymond: need help? (He extended his arm)

Tavia grabbed hold of his hand and struggled to get up.

Raymond: I told you, let me drive you home.

Tavia didn’t give a reply; she was struggling to stand on her own. Raymond put his arm around her waist and was guiding her to his car. Along the way a cool breeze blew that made her shiver, Raymond being a gentlemen took off his coat and placed it on her shoulders.

Raymond: Women, never thinking about the weather.

When they got to his car he opened the door for her and helped her get in making sure that she doesn’t hit her head and stuff like that. Finally Tavia saw the side of Raymond that she never has ever before. She was wrong about him after all. He was as sweet as Ron, as observant as Ron and he was as thoughtful as Ron as well.

~Back to Ron and Linda~

Ron: then who locked the door this morning?

Linda: My brother.

Ron: Where’s your brother now?

Linda: Working, he’s usually home at 11.

Ron: well what are we going to do?

Linda looked at Ron in a very strange and devious way.

Ron: I don’t like that look.

Linda: We shouldn’t let all of this fresh food go to waste…so I was thinking…

Ron: what?

Linda: If I could cook at your place?

Ron: I knew there was a catch! I guess you can.

Linda hugged him, which made him feel very awkward actually he felt something.

Linda: Let’s go!

The two of them carried all of the grocery bags back to Ron’s car, placed them in the trunk and drove to Ron’s place.

~Ron’s place~

Linda walked in holding several grocery bags followed by Ron.

Linda: It’s a really nice place.

Ron: Thanks.

Linda: For a guy living alone it’s really neat and tidy.

Ron: Thanks.

Linda: Can’t you say anything else other than thanks?

Ron: The kitchen is that way, and I’m going to go and get changed.

Linda carried the bags into the kitchen and began working, while Ron went to get changed.

Linda struggled to turn on the stove.

Linda: Ron! Where’s the “on” button?

Ron was still half naked (topless) when he came out to show her how to turn it on.

Linda was staring at HIM rather than the stove.

Ron: that’s the button and you should know how to do the rest.

Linda: What?

Ron: I said that’s the button and you should know how to do the rest.

Linda: Right.

Ron started laughing: Seems to me like your checking me out.

Linda blushed: In your dreams!

Ron: Well, you know things can happen…

Linda felt her heart pounding harder as he got closer to her…

Ron started laughing: You look terrified, am I that scary?

~Lunch~

Ron was sitting there enjoying his sandwich when he felt a hand on his shoulder; he turned around and saw Leila.

Ron: Hungry?

Leila: I’m starving.

Ron: Want a bite?

Leila: If you don’t mind.

Ron brought the sandwich to her mouth, where she then took a bite.

Leila: It’s good.

Ron: It has my spit in it, doesn’t that make it extra special and delicious.

Leila started laughing: You wish!

Ron smiled: Are you going to stand there or sit down?

Leila walked around the couch and sat down beside Ron.

Leila: What are you doing after work?

Ron: I have dinner plans with Linda and…o shit!

Leila: What’s wrong?

Ron: I kind have told Tavia I’ll be joining her this evening at a concert when I already made plans with Linda.

Leila: good job Ron!

Ron: Can’t you help me?

Leila: I helped you out with all of your love troubles…

Ron: So is that a yes?

Leila gave him a sly smile: It means that this time you have to solve your own.

Ron: Come on. (He put his arm around her shoulder)

Leila: Your little moves don’t work on me. (She took his arm off her shoulder)

Ron: Leila…(he made that puppy face that could melt anyone’s heart)

Leila looked at him, she knew that she couldn’t possibly say no to that but she had to. She helped him out of almost every situation and it was time for him to deal with his own troubles even though she really liked helping him. Pretending to be his girlfriend was always fun to do cause not only was he extra sweet but he was also very romantic with the long walks on the beach, watching the sunset and sometimes they would just sit and talk until the sun rises.

Leila: Sorry, I can’t help you. (She walked away)

Ron: Ok…I guess I no longer have any importance in your heart…

Hearing those words really got to her, because she knew that Ron along with her brothers were the most important people in her life. Sometimes, just sometimes she would think that she liked him because she would be touched by all the things he does.

Leila walked back over to him and gave him a peck on the cheek.

Leila: Don’t feel bad, I remember when I was little, whenever I was sad a little boy would kiss me on my cheek and make all my troubles go away.

Hearing that Ron smiled. It was true her kiss did make him feel better, but he still had to find a way to solve his problem. He then saw Raymond walking over and boy was he happy.

Ron walked over to Raymond, placed his arm over his shoulder.

Ron: Buddy!

Raymond: I don’t like it when you’re so close.

Ron: We’re good pals right?

Raymond: I hate it when you ask that question. What do you want?

Ron: Well…I’m in a bit of trouble.

Raymond: What did you do now? And why isn’t Leila helping you?

Ron: She said I have to deal with them myself so I decided to seek for your help.

Raymond: This is why it sucks being your friend. You’re too nice so you always get into this kind of mess.

Ron: Well unlike you, your mess usually involves…

Raymond: You don’t have to continue, I’ll help you.

Ron: Yes!!!

Raymond: what do you want me to do?

Ron: Well tonight I made dinner plans with Linda…

Raymond: Nice, you’re going to her place?

Ron: Ya…

Raymond: wow, you two are quick

Ron: It’s not what you’re thinking about, anyways, I also made plans with Tavia.

Raymond: Two girls one night…you’ve out done yourself.

Ron: Shut up and listen.

Raymond: chill man

Ron: Well I was wondering if you could go with Tavia for me?

Raymond: All right, just like before.

Ron: Ya.

Raymond: she’s not going to be happy about this.

Ron: Well, I have to have dinner with Linda…

Raymond: Cause you like her

Ron: Cause I made plans with her first.

Raymond: Whatever.

Ron: So, you’re gonna go for me with Tavia?

Raymond: Sure. But I’m only doing this cause we’re good pals.

Ron: Thanks man.

Raymond: No problem.

~That evening~

Ron and Linda took off, went to the store got all the food needed and went to Linda’s house.

Linda searched through her pockets and bag for her keys.

Linda: O shoot!

Ron: What is it?

Linda: I forgot my keys.

Ron: Where?

Linda: At home (looking at the ground)

Ron started laughing: Luckily you’re not a surgeon

Linda: Why is that?

Ron: You could leave something in your patient. (He continued laughing)

Linda: It’s not funny

~Over at the Concert Hall~

Tavia stood there looking glamorous in her black evening gown. She was expecting to see the man of her dreams until she saw…him.

Raymond handing her a rose: I wanted to let this rose see what true beauty is.

Tavia: You and your lame pick up lines.

Raymond: Aw man. It doesn’t work again.

Tavia: Why is it that whenever I ask Ron out, you’re here?

Raymond: Honey, we were meant to be. (He started laughing)

====================================
I hope you enjoyed it!!!

Tomorrow will be the first of December...this also means that there is a possibility of a Christmas special this year, like previous years. I was just wondering if you'd like that?

Ch 15

After dinner with Ron’s favourite family of all time, he said his farewells and went home. It began to rain as he was driving home listening to music and just thinking about life in general he saw a figure that looked very familiar coming out of the Seven Eleven. She didn’t have a jacket with her nor an umbrella, being the nice guy Ron was he stopped the car right beside her.

The young lady was surprised that someone would actually stop the car for her when she turned to look it was Ron. He came out of the car took off his jacket and placed it on her shoulders.

Ron: Don’t catch a cold. The patients at the hospital need you.

The young lady smiled at him gracefully not saying a word. She finally saw the reason why so many people like him. It wasn’t because he was a successful doctor who makes lots of money but it was the fact that he was a sweet, caring and gentle guy.

Ron opened the car door for her and insisted her to get home. Once she got on the car, Ron slammed the door shut and got in as well. The drive to her place was as quiet as it can be. If he didn’t glance at her making sure she didn’t fall asleep he would’ve thought that she did. Once they arrived at her place, Ron got out of the car and opened the door for her. She looked at him and smiled. He then walked her in to make sure that she would get home safely. Since he no longer had his jacket, the rain soaked his clothes and hair enhancing his features even more. She invited him to her place but he rejected her offer seeing that it was already getting late.

~Next day at the hospital~

Ron sat in his chair spinning around doing basically nothing except for stopping to sip his coffee once in a while. His shift usually begins at nine and seeing how it’s only 8:30 he had plenty of time to relax. As he was gradually spinning he saw Linda come in.

Ron immediately stopped the chair so that his interim wouldn’t see how childish he really is even though she should have realized that by now.

Ron: Morning!

Linda: Thank you! (Waving a white envelope that she has in her hand)

Ron: What’s that?

Linda: Well, this morning Bobby (head of the hospital) told me how they’ve looked over my information and with your recommendation they approved. Which means that I wouldn’t have to drive for so long to get to work.

Ron: Hey, it’s the least I can do.

Linda: I don’t know how to repay you. How about dinner? Tonight? I’ll cook.

Ron: Sure, as long as I don’t end up in the ER I’m fine with it.

Linda started laughing: My cooking isn’t bad and don’t worry I won’t poison you.

Ron: So, dinner at your place tonight then?

Linda: But first you have to drive me to buy the stuff.

Ron: I knew there was a catch.

Linda smiled and went out. Ron soon followed her because it was 8:55.

Ron: Hey wait up!

Linda turned around and saw Ron walking towards her.

Ron: What’s the hurry?

Linda: I’m not the one who’s huffing and puffing.

Ron: Well I was trying to catch up to you. Did anyone ever tell you, you walk really fast?

Linda: Maybe you’re just slow. (She continued to walk off)

Ron: Fine then if you can walk so fast then you wouldn’t need this approval. (He snatched the letter out of her hand)

Linda: Give it back!

She began chasing after him. The other staffs in the hospital were surprised at how childish they were.

Raymond: Dude, what’s the hurry?

Ron: Get out of my way.

Linda placed her hand on Ron’s shoulder: Gotcha!

Ron: All your fault man.

Raymond: I didn’t know you two were playing around if I did…

Linda: Now you can give it back.

Ron: Fine.

As Linda walked away Ron was still standing there.

Raymond: Seems to me that you two are really getting along.

Ron: Well, she’s a really nice person.

Raymond: Interested?

Ron: I don’t know, not right now anyways. I got to go. I’ll see you later? Lunch?

Raymond: Go after her! (He smiled) Okay, Lunch.

Ron walked off and downstairs to the ER.

An old man was sitting patiently and waiting for his turn for his monthly check up. Ron recognized him at once seeing the man.

Ron: Mr. Chan!

Mr. Chan: Doctor Ng is it my turn yet?

Ron: Sure, come on in. (He helped the man walk into the examination room)

Ron: So have you been eating any of those fatty foods?

Mr. Chan: Of course not! I’d listened to you.

Ron: well, we’ll have to do a blood test to see if your cholesterol is regulated.

Mr. Chan rolled up his sleeve and sat there patiently as Ron told Tavia to do the blood test.

Tavia went over, greeted the old man then performed the blood test. After it was complete she smiled and walked away.

Mr. Chan: That didn’t hurt one bit Doctor.

Ron: Well, that’s because Tavia is a very good nurse.

Mr. Chan: You like her?

Ron: We’re just friends.

Mr. Chan: I almost forgot, you like that other person, what was her name…L-l-Linda?

Ron: She’s just an interim Mr. Chan.

Mr. Chan: Sure she is. Well, are you going to do any other tests or am I good to go?

Ron: You’re good.

Mr. Chan: Bye Doctor, and say goodbye to your girlfriend for me. (He winked, and walked away)

Ron stood there laughing at the old man who thinks Ron likes every woman he encounters.

~At the front desk~

Claire: Go talk to him.

Tavia: He’s busy

Claire: No he isn’t. Go! (she pushed Tavia)

Tavia then walked over to Ron.

Tavia: Hey!

Ron: Hi, Mr. Chan said you’re really good at performing blood tests

Tavia: thanks.

Ron: Don’t thank me; he’s the one that complimented you.

Tavia slightly blushed talking to the man of her dreams.

Tavia: I was wondering if you’re not doing anything tonight if you’d like to go to this concert with me. I think it’s a tribute to Beethoven, seeing how you enjoy classical music, I was wondering if you’d be interested.

Ron: I’d love to.

Tavia was really excited for this was the first time that she successfully asked him out.

Tavia: Well, dress nicely and I’ll meet you there.

She walked away smiling, her smile was just so radiant, even a blind person could see that she was in love.

While the two guys were having their little conversation Leila went to her room and got changed. Leila came out and heard Bosco laughing.

Leila: What’s so funny?

Ron: He’s laughing at you.

Leila: What did I do?

Ron started laughing: He says that you’re changing because you don’t want to burst a button. (He continued to laugh)

Leila: Is that true Bosco? (She marched into the kitchen)

Bosco: Who would you listen to, your own brother or (he whispers in her ear) your secret crush?

Leila formed a fist and punched him on the arm.

Bosco: What was that for?

Leila: That’s for being like those nosy ladies in the fish market.

Bosco: So it’s true?

Leila punched him again: No!

Bosco: Fine!

Leila went out of the kitchen and saw Ron sitting there staring blankly at the ceiling. She walked over and sat next to him.

Leila: What are you thinking about?

Ron: You.

Leila: Why me?

Ron: I was thinking about how ugly you would look when you’re old. (He bursts into laughter)

Leila: hmph…

Ron: I was joking. I was thinking about stuff.

Leila: What stuff?

Ron: like what you said when you were little.

Leila: What did I say?

Ron: The treasure at the end of the rainbow. I remember you use to make me run with you to find it.

A smile appeared on Leila’s face.

Leila: You still remember?

Ron: You made me run 2 whole kilometers. What do you think?

She started laughing seeing his facial reaction. As she was laughing Kevin came home.

Leila: Kevin, you’re home!

Kevin: I told you I’d be home whenever Bosco cooks.

Bosco came out of the kitchen.

Bosco: Bro, you’re home.

Kevin: If you cook everyday I’ll be home everyday.

Bosco started laughing and went back into the kitchen.

Kevin: Hey Ron, is Leila bothering you again?

Ron: I’m use to it.

Kevin started laughing seeing how his sister was glaring at him.

Kevin: Ok, well I have to go and get changed. Leila stop bothering Ron. (He continued to laugh)

Leila: why must my brothers always pick on me?

Ron: After all you ARE the youngest.

Leila: that would mean that they should take care of my like I’m the biggest diamond in the world.

Bosco overheard her.

Bosco yelling from the kitchen: You are! But you’re still unpolished.

Leila: See what I mean.

Ron: At least you got brothers.

Leila: Sorry.

Ron: That’s okay.

Bosco came out of the kitchen and was towering over Ron and Leila.

Bosco: Where’s Raymond?

Leila: I don’t know. Ron drove me home.

Bosco: He’s probably off somewhere getting someone’s digits.

Ron: Speaking of the devil.

Raymond opened the door and walked in.

Raymond: Hey! Everyone’s home! Cool! Let’s Eat!

Bosco: All right. Since everyone is here, we can finally eat. I’ll go get the food.

Ron: I’ll help.

Bosco: Thanks.

Ron: No problem man.

The two of them walked into the kitchen and brought out in total 9 main dishes and a soup.

Kevin came out of his room to the smell of exquisite food.

Kevin: I think you’ve finally outdone yourself bro.

Bosco: Thanks.

Raymond: I swear who ever will marry you will be the luckiest woman on earth.

Leila: Bosco is the nicest guy ever and plus he can cook so well who wouldn’t like him.

Ron: I swear if I weren’t straight Bosco would be my first target.

Everyone started laughing.

Bosco: Stop with the flattering. It’s not like I’m charging you for this dinner.

Ron: Dude, you deserve every single one of those compliments. You’re such a modest guy.

Bosco: well, you’re not too bad yourself.

Ron: Really?

Bosco: I think so and Leila does too right Leila? (He nudged her while she was struggling to chew that Chinese broccoli.

Leila: ya.

Ron started laughing.

Kevin: Finally a dinner with everyone. It’s been like a month now.

Leila: So what HAVE you been busy doing?

Kevin: Lots of stuff in many different places.

Bosco: At least you get to travel.

Raymond: and check out those very attractive flight attendants.

Ron: he’s not like you.

Kevin: Well, I did meet this very nice flight attendant.

Raymond: We’re brothers what do expect?

Kevin: She even gave me her number but I didn’t have time to call her.

Leila: well you should call her and talk to her.

Kevin: She probably forgot.

Raymond: How can anyone forget such a good-looking guy? I swear good-looks runs in the family.

Raymond’s thoughts

The two of them are still so childish. I swear they’re meant to be. Like who in there twenties would enjoy spinning around on a chair? Both of them are so naïve. I can’t believe Ron after all he’s been through still hasn’t grown up. Maybe that’s why so many people like him. His attitude towards things is not so complicated and he can put a smile on anyone’s face. But I’m not bad myself; good-looking with a stable career, then again I’m still single. That doesn’t matter as long as I still got my family and my best bud Ron it’s all good.

~Ron’s office~

Leila was laughing: You can stop now. I think I’m dizzy.

Ron quickly stopped the spinning chair.

Ron: wasn’t that fun?

Leila: It was okay.

Ron: Only ok?

Leila: Can we please go now?

Ron: Fine. Then get off of my lap.

Leila: Make me.

Ron then lifted her up and got up. She was now in his arms a meter from the ground.

Leila: Put me down already.

Ron slowly put her down making sure that she wasn’t hurt.

Leila: Thanks.

Ron: No problem.

He grabbed his briefcase and jacket and left with her.

Leila: So…

Ron: So what?

Leila: Are you going to that charity ball?

Ron: Yup!

Leila: With?

Ron: Linda

Leila: Oh.

Ron: Jealous?

Leila: Why would I be jealous? I should be relieved that I don’t have to go with you this year.

Ron: You seem more jealous than relieved.

Leila: Whatever.

Ron: You know you could join us if you like.

Leila: No. That’s okay.

Ron: Okay then. But don’t be mad, it’ll cause wrinkles. (He ran his fingers across her forehead). You wouldn’t look pretty with wrinkles.

Leila started laughing: Well, I’m not mad.

Ron: That’s good.

He opened the car door for her and watched her get in, and then he walked around and got onto the car himself.

Leila: I forgot to tell you something.

Ron: What?

Leila: Remember that day at the restaurant when we…

Ron: Kissed?

Leila: Ya.

Ron: What about it? Don’t tell me you like me.

Leila slightly blushed: No! Of course not!

Ron: O well.

Leila; Come on I’m being serious here.

Ron: Ok.

Leila: Well the thing is, Bosco took pictures of us.

Ron: So?

Leila: he suspects that there’s something going on.

Ron: is there?

Leila: How would I know?

Ron: Well, we’ve always been close so I don’t think it matters.

Leila: I know. But people will be talking.

Ron: We shouldn’t care about what they say.

Leila: But I don’t want to cause any misunderstandings.

Ron: Well, I’m not that bad.

Leila: It’s not you but I know lots of people like you and if…

Ron: You mean Nancy? She’s your friend she should know better and besides Bosco didn’t show anyone the pictures yet. Did he?

Leila: Not yet.

Ron: Then there’s no problem.

Leila: I guess.

Ron drove off and for the entire ride they didn’t say a word to each other instead they were listening to a few songs. When they finally got there Ron parked his car and they walked up to Leila’s place.

Ron: What are we having?

Leila: I don’t know, Bosco said it’s a secret.

Ron: As long as Bosco is cooking it’s all-good.

Leila unlocked the door and both of them went in. The smell of food was in the air.

Ron: I smell chicken!

Leila started laughing.

Bosco: Hey! Ron you’re here.

Ron: Yup! I wouldn’t miss your cooking for the world.

Bosco: Hey you wanna see something really cool?

Ron: Sure.

Bosco took out his phone and showed Ron all the pictures he took.

Ron: Nice pics.

Bosco: I know I find them adorable.

Ron: Me too!

Bosco started laughing: You’re reaction and Leila’s reactions are totally different.

Ron: Well, she minds cause after all she’s a woman, you know what they say, woman tend to have thinner facial skin.

Bosco continued laughing and went back into the kitchen.

Ron: I should be getting back; I can’t leave her waiting forever. I’ll see you two later. And Leila, do you want me to drive you home or is Raymond?

Leila: I don’t know yet. I’ll call you or knock on your door to tell you.

Ron: Ok then. I’ll see you later. Bye.

Ron walked away and down the hall towards his office. On his way he met up with Tavia.

Ron: Hey.

Tavia: O hi. (She started to have that feeling of butterflies in her stomach just talking to him)

Ron: Busy day so far.

Tavia: Ya. Ummm…

Ron: what?

Tavia: I was just wondering if you’re planning to go back to the community center this Saturday?

Ron: Of course! Are you?

Tavia: Ya. Well…

Ron: How about I come and pick you up then?

Tavia: That would be great. Thanks.

Ron: I told you car-pooling is the way of the future.

Tavia smiled: I should be going downstairs now; I’ll see you later?

Ron: Sure.

As she left he walked towards the large window near his office and stared outside. Here he was able to see the patients and their families together laughing and smiling. He wanted a family of his own. He wanted to have lots of kids and when he would come home from work he could smell the wonderful smell of the food that his wife made. But in this lifetime his dream might never be fulfilled.

Ron’s thoughts

It’s kind of funny when I think about these things like having a family when I know that I would never be able to provide my loved one with that care and time. After my parents left, the only people who I could ever call as my true friends and maybe even family would be Raymond, Bosco, Kevin and of course Leila. Sometimes I wonder if Leila and I weren’t such great friends, if I would’ve asked her out. I still remember the first time I saw her in her prom dress, all dressed up and looking like an angel walking down those stairs. I thought I was being nice asking her out. But truth be told, I was lucky that an angel like her would agree to go with me. It’s funny how things are. In one hand she’s like my best friend ever, I might even be closer to her than Raymond. On the other hand I think I’m beginning to like her. But I can’t cause I don’t want to ruin our special friendship. I’ll probably find the right person for me soon…

Linda noticed that Ron was standing there for a while now and came out. She tapped him on the shoulder and he quickly turned around.

Linda: What are you looking at?

Ron: This (He points out the window to the little children playing)

Linda: They’re so cute.

Ron: Ya.

Linda: Reminds me of my brother and I when we were younger.

Ron: I never heard you speak of your family before.

Linda: Well, my parents immigrated to the U.S. a couple of years ago. So I’m just living with my brother.

Ron: Oh. So, why did you want to go into medicine in the first place? You know it’s a lot of work.

Linda: It’s exciting.

Ron: But you have to work those late nights and long hours aren’t you afraid your boyfriend would be jealous?

Linda: Boyfriend? Who said I have a boyfriend?

Ron: Well, I was just asking. Why wouldn’t you have a boyfriend? You’re smart, talented and pretty.

Linda slightly blushed at his compliment: Well, that doesn’t mean that I would have a boyfriend.

Ron: I guess. I need to tell you something. Let’s go into my office.

Linda: Sure.

They walked into Ron’s office and sat down.

Ron: When’s your evaluation and exam?

Linda: It’s in a couple of months. Why?

Ron: Well, are you ready?

Linda: I guess.

Ron: You got to be confident. If you don’t believe in yourself how can your patients.

Linda: I guess. Is that all you wanted to talk to me about?

Ron: Well, seeing how you’re working and all I think you would do fine. But that’s not the only reason. If you don’t already know every year our hospital has this charity ball kind of thing and I was wondering if you would like to go with me?

Linda: You’re asking me out?

Ron: I guess you could put it that way if you want. But I just wanted you to see and meet other doctors and get to know people.

Linda: I’d love to go unless you’re just using me to get everyone else jealous.

Ron: Why would you say that?

Linda: Don’t act stupid, a blind person can tell that there are a lot of people in this hospital who likes you.

Ron: You’re very observant.

Linda: Thank you. But don’t change the topic.

Ron: Cut me some slack here already. Usually I would go with Leila but seeing you’re new here I thought I would be nice asking you.

Linda: hmmm…I guess I’ll believe you. But why so secretive?

Ron: Cause rumors in this hospital can spread quicker than SARS and can last much, much longer than it.

Linda started laughing: Ok then.

Ron: It’s already four. Time flies eh?

Linda smiled: Well, I better get going.

Ron: Don’t you need a ride?

Linda: Not today. I drove.

Ron: Independent woman now are we?

Linda grabbed her bag and headed towards the door.

Linda: Of course! She smiled at him, opened the door and left.

Ron sat in his chair spinning around like a little kid. Leila slowly walked in and just stood there looking at him. He didn’t seem to notice her presence since he was just too busy enjoying himself in that chair. Finally he noticed her.

Ron: What’s with the silent footsteps?

Leila: It wasn’t silent. It was just that you were too busy spinning around.

Ron: Well, I was waiting for that call or that knock on my door like someone promised.

Leila: I was going to knock but I didn’t want to disturb you. (She giggled)

Ron: So who’s going to drive you?

Leila: Seems to me my brother already left so I guess you’re the lucky one.

Ron: Why am I always so lucky? (He asked sarcastically)

Leila: Well are you going to leave now? Or are you going to continue to spin in circles?

Ron: Would you like to join me?

Leila walked over to him as he tried to move over to make room for her.

Leila: There isn’t enough room.

Ron: Might as well sit on my lap like when we were little.

Leila: Ok.

She got on his lap…as Ron started to spin the chair around faster and faster Ron wrapped his arms around her afraid that she would fall. As they were spinning Raymond popped in to see what was going on when he saw his little sister and his best friend acting like little children he gave a little grin and walked away.

The elevator finally came to a stop and reached the third floor where Ron’s office was. As they were walking towards his office Ron saw a familiar face…

Ron: Nancy! You’re back!

Nancy: Yup! I couldn’t just leave this hospital when there’s such a good-looking doctor in the building.

Ron started laughing: So how was your little vacation? Did you bring me back anything?

Nancy: Well, it depends how nice you are to me today.

Ron: I see how it is. (He came over to her and gave her a hug) How’s that?

Nancy: Much better. (She smiled) So who’s this lovely young lady?

Ron: A new interim.

Nancy: Hi.

Linda: Nice to meet you.

Nancy: Right back at you.

Ron: How was Japan?

Nancy: Fabulous. You should really go.

Ron: Leila and I are planning to go soon, but we haven’t decided when.

Nancy: I leave for three weeks and she took you away?

Ron: You lost your chance.

Nancy: That’s unfair.

Ron: Hey, does Leila know you’re back?

Nancy: Not yet.

Ron: I know she’d be really happy if she sees you.

Nancy: Of course! As her best friend…

Ron: What? I’m her best friend.

Nancy: Fine! As her second best friend…

Ron: That’s much better.

Nancy: I got her lots of stuff.

Ron: Want to go see her now?

Nancy: If you’re not busy.

Ron: ummm… Linda, how about you go back to my office first and I’ll be there later.

Linda: Sure.

Ron: Let’s go then.

Ron and Nancy walked towards Raymond’s office.

Nancy: I missed you.

Ron: I missed you too.

Nancy: You know how I feel about you.

Ron: Come on. Don’t be like that.

Nancy: I don’t get it. Half of the female staff in this building likes you, yet you reject every single one of them.

Ron: I don’t want to hurt their feelings…

Nancy: Then why won’t you accept anyone?

Ron: I don’t know.

Nancy: Unless you already have someone.

Ron: I don’t.

Nancy: Are you gay?

Ron: Of course not, if I am then I wouldn’t think that you look amazingly gorgeous would I?

Nancy: Then why Ron?

Ron: Maybe no one here is my cup of tea.

Nancy: How about Leila? I can tell that you really care for her.

Ron: I do. But that doesn’t mean that I feel anything.

Nancy: You and your feelings and chemistry. Don’t you know those things only happen when you give someone a chance?

Ron: I know. But I want to build a stable career first.

Nancy: You’re a doctor. Like your career isn’t stable.

Ron: That’s the problem. If I get into a relationship, how would I ever spend time with her?

Nancy: Fine! At least tell me who you like, after all I’m your friend.

Ron: I like…

He was about to tell her, but then he saw Leila coming towards them.

Leila: Nancy?

Nancy: Leila!

Leila ran towards Nancy to give her a warm welcoming hug.

Leila: How was Japan?

Nancy: It was great! Ron here told me how you two were planning on going as well.

Leila: Yup!

Nancy: So I go for three weeks and you took him away.

Leila: It’s not my fault I’m so attractive. (She started laughing)

Ron joined in the laughter.

Nancy: I see how it is.

Ron: How is it?

Nancy: You two seem to be very compatible.

Leila: Of course we are. (She grabbed Ron’s hand) We’ve known each other since forever.

Ron took Leila’s hand and gently kissed it: Since forever.

Nancy looked at Ron: Is she the one?

Ron: Maybe.

Leila: So did you bring me back anything?

Nancy: Of course I did but you probably wouldn’t want anything cause you already got the best thing in the world…

Today...was my grandfather's funeral...it's funny how you really don't know what you have until it's gone...

The Reason: Ch 10

Ch 10

Linda: Ya, I think you should.

Ron smiled: Sorry.

Linda: It’s okay.

Ron got up.

Ron: Leila, look what you’ve done.

Leila: Linda doesn’t mind. Right Linda?

Linda simply smiled.

Ron: Leila, so dinner tonight at your place?

Leila: yup!

Ron: I’ll be there.

Leila: You better be. Okay, I got to go now before my brother yells at me.

Ron: I’ll see you later then?

Leila: Of Course. Bye! (Blows him a kiss)

Ron pretended to catch that kiss and brought it to his heart.

Leila walked away laughing.

Linda: You two seem close.

Ron: Like I told you, we’ve known each other since forever.

Linda: Okay then. (Rolls her eyes)

Ron: Fine, but I’m just saying there’s nothing between us right now.

Linda: There could be.

Ron: Then there could be something between us. (Pointing to Linda)

Linda started blushing: It’s not the same.

Ron moved in closer and whispered in her ear: You never know.

She felt him whisper into her ears. She felt butterflies in her stomach. Was she starting to like him?

Linda: I think we should get going now.

Ron looking at his watch: O ya, I almost forgot.

They left the cafeteria and went to the ER.

Tavia: Ron, 11 people were sent in due to food poisoning.

Ron: I’m on it. Linda let’s get to work.

Tavia loved watching Ron work. He was always so serious and professional making him very attractive. Even when he would yell at her to get things like the anesthetics she didn’t mind cause she knew that the man of her dreams cared for everyone.

Tavia was still standing there daydreaming.

Ron: Tavia! Tavia! Hello?

Tavia: What?

Ron: I’ve been calling your name for a while now and finally you respond.

Tavia: Sorry.

Ron: Save your sorries and daydreaming for later. Right now I need you to go out there and get the information of the patients.

Tavia: o…ok

Ron: GO! Right now, the best way to treat her is with lavage. The poison is too strong to just rehydrate her.

Sammul: Are you sure?

Ron: It’s either this or give her medication but with her condition medication won’t do.

Sammul: All right.

Ron: You take care of that. I think I should go and check out the others.


Tavia: Okay, we’ve identified 10 out of the 11 patients.

Ron: How bout number 11?

Tavia: Well, we didn’t find any identification on her.

Ron: None?

Tavia: Ya.

Ron: That’s okay. Let’s just focus on helping them now.

Tavia: Ok.

She admired his righteousness and his determination, if only he was hers.

Claire: Are you going to ask him out?

Tavia: We got work to do and all you can think about is this?

Claire: Of course! You’re my closest friend and I would love to see you end up with the man of your dreams.

Tavia: Well we’ll discuss this later; right now there are 11 people who need our help.

Claire: ok fine. But after we’re done, you know what to do.

Tavia nodded and went to help Myolie in the other examination room.

Myolie: Did you check the temperature of the patient?

Tavia: His temperature was 36.5ºC, blood pressure was 120 over 70.

Myolie: Okay. So everything is normal. Does he have any history of hypertension or anything?

Tavia: No.

Myolie: Allergies?

Tavia: In his records it says he’s allergic to penicillin.

Myolie: Ok. He’s just suffering from minor food poisoning. We just need to put fluid back into his body and we’ll keep him overnight just in case.

Tavia: Ok.
At last all of the patients were treated.

As Ron took the elevator back to his office Linda followed behind him.

Ron: Did you like it?

Linda: Like what?

Ron: The thrill of saving lives.

Linda: You can’t like saving people. It’s almost like saying you like seeing them suffer so you could help.

Ron started laughing: I was just teasing. You don’t need to take it so seriously. It’s not like we’re downstairs. Just relax.

Linda: You’re like two different people. When you’re downstairs, you’re as cold and professional as can be. But now, you’re just joking around like nothing happened.

Ron: When I was in university, my professor told me to never put my true feelings into what I do. Cause if I do, it would just hurt a lot more.

Linda: So, that’s why you’re like that.

Ron: If you want to get to know me just ask.

Linda: What?

Ron: I’m joking! (He started to laugh)

========================

I'm not in the mood to write anything new...so I'll be reposting stuff as a way to 'distract' myself.

Wednesday, October 19, 2011

The Reason: Ch 9

Ch9

*Seem to me like you didn’t like my last chapter. =(
That’s okay cause it was beginning to build up to some more stuff that I got planned.
Into the story we go*


~Lunch Time~

Ron: Hey Ray!

Raymond: Where’s your interim?

Ron: She went to get something. Where’s Leila?

Raymond: I don’t know.

Ron: Didn’t I tell you to tell her to meet us here for lunch?

Raymond: Sorry! I kind of forgot.

Ron: What?

Raymond: Calm down. She’ll be here and why are you so eager to see her anyways? Is there something I should know?

Ron: No! Of course not! I just didn’t want her to feel left out.

Raymond: Such a nice guy. My sister would be lucky if you actually did like her.

Ron: Don’t say that. Leila’s great.

As Leila was walking towards the two she overheard Ron telling Raymond how “great” she was. She felt as if she was floating on the clouds after hearing him say that.

Leila: Hey! (Whacks Raymond on the head)

Raymond: What was that for?

Leila: That was for not telling me it was lunchtime. And this (whacks him on the head again) is for saying stuff behind my back.

Raymond: See Ron, she would be lucky if a guy like you would like someone like her. So violent!

Leila: This is what happens when you have 3 brothers who are either too busy to be with you or rather goes out and do nothing than to take you along. (Shoots Raymond a glare)

Ron started laughing: At least you HAVE siblings. Look at me I got no one.

Raymond: You still got me your old pal. (Smiles)

Ron: I guess.

~Flashback~

His mom was rushed to the hospital because her water broke. She was going to have her second child. But when she got to the hospital, all the doctors were just too busy to even look at her condition. Because of that they lost both her and the baby.

Ron: Can’t anyone see? My mom is in pain.

No one even paid any attention to him.

Ron: Mom, you have to hang on. There will be a doctor here that can help you.

Ron’s dad: Just hang on honey. Everything will be fine.

Here breathing began to weaken. She started to lose her lively colours. Finally a doctor came out to look at her. But it was too late.

Ron: Why? Why must you have to leave me? I want you here. I have so much to say to you mom. I love you. I swear, I will never let anyone suffer like this ever again.

Soon after Ron’s mother died, his father suffered from depression and went with her. Seeing both of them leave was the saddest thing that ever happened.

~End of flashback~

Raymond: Still thinking about them?

Ron: Of course! In one year I lost the two most important people in my life.

Leila: Now you got us.

Raymond: We could never replace them.

Leila: But at least I could put a smile on your face.

She walked over to Ron and sat down beside him. She then embraced him, which seem to have made all of those bad memories disappear.

Leila: When I was sad or mad you were there for me. So now it’s my turn.

Ron looked at her and smiles: But I remember when you were sad or mad I would kiss you to make you smile. (Pointing to his cheek)

Leila leaned over and pecked him on the cheek.

Leila: Is that better?

Ron: Much better.

Raymond started laughing: If I didn’t know better I swear I would think you two are a couple.

Ron then put his arms around Leila and got closer to her.

Ron: Don’t we make a cute couple?

Raymond continued to laugh: If you said cute as in naïve and gullible then yes.

Ron soon let go of Leila and got back to his normal position.

Leila: Hey Ron, interested in dinner tonight.

Raymond: You’re asking him out? (He opened his mouth and gasped)

Leila: Yup! I want him to meet the family (looking at Raymond)

Ron: Sure.

Leila: Bosco is cooking tonight so bring an empty stomach.

Raymond: He is?

Leila: You’re a horrible brother.

Raymond: But I am a very good doctor and very good looking. (He started to laugh)

Ron: How big can his head get?

Linda walked over and saw the three of them talking and laughing.

Linda: You don’t mind if I sat here, would you?

Raymond: I don’t mind. But you should ask the two lovebirds over there (pointing to Ron and Leila)

Linda: O, I’m sorry for interrupting.

Ron: Don’t you ever listen to your mentors and teachers?

Linda: I’m sorry.

Ron: I told you like a million times.

Linda: I’m really sorry for bothering you. (She turned around and started to walk away)

Raymond: Look what you did?

Ron: Linda, don’t go! I was joking and next time don’t listen to Raymond. You should only believe half of what he says. Come and sit.

Linda: Hopefully I’m not interrupting you two.

Leila: We’re just good friends. You could take him if you want.

Ron: Hey, I’m not a toy you can’t just throw me around like that.

Leila: Of course I can. (Pushes Ron towards Raymond)

Raymond: I don’t want him. (Stands up, pushes Ron towards Linda and walked away laughing)

Ron eventually stopped moving around and found himself resting his head on Linda’s lap. He looked up and saw Linda slightly blushing.

Ron: Sorry! Those two could be really childish sometimes.

Linda looking down at him: It’s okay.

Ron: Maybe I should get up now.
=======================================

I hope you enjoyed it...a bit unrealistic about him landing on her lap...but...whatever...lol

The Reason: Ch 8

Tadaa!

========================

Bosco: Such nice pictures, I think I should show it to everyone.

Leila: No! Don’t do that.

Bosco: Why not? You and Ron are such a cute couple.

Leila: There’s nothing between us.

Bosco: Don’t lie to your brother know little Leila, if there’s nothing between you two then why were you kissing…IN PUBLIC?

Leila: Well, it was either paying a couple of thousand dollars or kissing Ron?

Bosco: I wouldn’t kiss Ron.

Leila: Arghhhh…. Say whatever you want but don’t tell Raymond, if he knows then half of this world would know and he would never let me rest.

Bosco started laughing: All right I’ll leave you alone. But if one day you two do start dating I’ll sell you these pictures as a memory token. (He continued to laugh)


NEXT DAY at the HOSPITAL

Ron and Raymond were sitting in the cafeteria having their coffee.

Ron: How was you date last night?

Raymond: What date?

Ron: With Michelle?

Raymond: Dude, that wasn’t a date. She’s already taken and you know I’m not that type of guy.

Ron: Then where did you go?

Raymond: I went around, here and there.

Ron: You ditched your own sister to go out and do nothing?

Raymond: pretty much. But I know that if there’s no one home, you’ll always be there for her. So no worries for me.

Ron chuckled: So now you’re taking advantage of me?

Raymond: Don’t put it like that, you should say that you help me and I’ll help you. Maybe I’ll even get you a girlfriend.

Ron: Just mind your own business.

Raymond: Here is a lovely candidate walking towards you now.

Ron turned around and to his surprise it was Linda.

Linda: Hi there.

Raymond: Morning! (He nudged Ron.)

Ron: O, hi.

Linda: Are you always here this early?

Raymond: He’s not here this early he practically lives here. (He started laughing)

Ron: Don’t listen to him. I’m usually here a few minutes early to grab a coffee before all the excitement. (He winked)

Linda smiled.

Raymond: I’ll leave you two alone.

Linda slightly blushed.

Ron: All right. I’ll see you later. Lunch? And tell Leila too.

Raymond: Ya, sure.

Ron looked at his watch and to his surprise it was nine.

Ron: We better get going.

Linda: Ok.

Ron and Linda walked out of the cafeteria and walked to the ER.

Ron: O, about the housing thing I mentioned to you yesterday.

Linda: yeah.

Ron: Well I spoke to the head of the hospital and he said he’d consider it.

Linda: Really?

Ron: Ya.

Linda: Thanks.

Ron: No problem.

They reach the ER and to Ron’s surprise it was actually not that busy. Just a few people here and there with either a cold or a high fever nothing too shocking or severe. A light morning is always good cause it also means that not many people are ill which meant that everyone is doing a good job.

Ron was very happy to see that there weren’t a lot of people there. It wasn’t because he was lazy but more because it meant that a lot more people were healthy.

Ron: If everyday were like this the world would be a better place.

Linda: I guess so.

Ron: Well, we still got to get to work. Can’t leave these people waiting.

Tavia: Good morning Ron.

Ron: Morning. How did you get home yesterday?

Tavia: I drove.

Ron: O you should have told me to pick you up and drive you home. Car-pooling is the way to go. (He smiled)

Tavia smiled back: Maybe next time.

As Ron and Linda walked away Tavia stood there smiling.

Claire: Oooooooooo…He spoke to you today?

Tavia: He always does.

Claire: Not like that though.

Tavia: Yes he does, and besides we’re good friends.

Claire: But you don’t just want to be his friend though.

Tavia: Shut up!

Claire: Well you better make your move quick cause by the looks of it; you might have a challenger (pointing to Linda)

Tavia: She’s just an interim.

Claire: And she’s young and pretty.

Tavia: Leila is too.

Claire: But Leila and Ron I don’t think that’s even possible.

Myolie walked by and heard their conversation and started laughing.

Myolie thinking to herself: There’s nothing that’s impossible.

I hope you enjoyed it! Please leave me a comment!

The Reason: Ch 7

Hey, sorry for the delay, but do enjoy!!!

==================

Ron: O, we’re sorry. Didn’t mean to cause so much noise.

Waiter: That’s okay sir. Not a problem.

Leila: We’re both really sorry.

The waiter walked away and whispered into the manager’s ear. The manager then went to the center of the restaurant where there was a mini dance floor and spoke into the microphone.

Manager: Can I please get everyone’s attention please? (There was a moment of silence) So for those who ordered the Lover’s Special, included in that special is a little activity. Everyone who ordered must participate or else they will have to pay for everyone who is here tonight.

Ron: see, we shouldn’t have ordered it.

Leila: It might be fun.

Ron: We’ll wait and see.

Manager: The prize for this little contest is basically a trip for two to Japan.

Leila: Oooo…Japan.

Manager: so what you got to do is simple, the couples that ordered the special will have to come down to the dance floor (everyone who ordered came down). The task is quite simple; the couple that shares the longest kiss will win the prize.

Leila: Look what you did.

Ron: What did I do?

Leila: you got us into this.

Ron: umm… actually it was you.

Leila: You could’ve stopped me.

Ron: We can’t chicken out cause I’m not planning on spending a couple of thousand dollars.

Leila: Fine, I guess we’ll just do what we’re told.

Manager: Ok, ready?

Ron: Just close your eyes and imagine I’m your prince charming, the one who you want to spend all your life with and we’ll get over this okay?

Leila nodded.

Manager: GO!

Ron wrapped his arms around her, as she closed her eyes and tried to imagine her prince charming the image of Ron appeared. She then felt his lips touching hers as the two of them kissed. They felt that they didn’t want to stop or let go. It just felt so right to them. They no longer cared that they were just great friends but now everyone around them could see the sparks that were flying. One by one the other couples failed to kiss for a long period of time. Eventually the only “couple” left was Ron and Leila. They didn’t realize how long they’ve been kissing for, nor did they care. Time seemed to have stopped for just the two of them.

Sitting in the other end of the restaurant was Bosco and Myolie.

Myolie: Isn’t that Ron and Leila?

Bosco: Where?

Myolie: The two in the middle of the dance floor who are still kissing.

Bosco: I don’t think so. It can’t be Ron and Leila, they’re just friends.

Myolie: What if I’m right?

Bosco: You’re probably not.

Myolie: Just in case, I’ll take a picture and if it is them, I could use it to blackmail Ron to changing shifts with me.

Bosco was shaking his head.

Back on the dance floor the manager finally stopped them by announcing that they’ve won. Yet when he announced that they’ve won, their kiss was still lingering on until finally they decided to part.

Manager: Congratulations! You two have won the trip to Japan.

Leila was so happy that she gave Ron a hug and a kiss. Ron then picked her up and twirled her around.

Myolie: I was right. It’s Ron and Leila.

Bosco: It is!

Myolie: Told you!

Bosco: Well I should take a few pictures to blackmail Leila.

Myolie: I’ll take some more too.

~Ron and Leila~

Ron: We won!

Leila: It wasn’t so bad.

Ron: Yeah. And I didn’t feel a thing.

Leila: Neither did I.

Ron: It’s getting late. We should be going now cause tomorrow we got to work right?

Leila: O ya. I almost forgot. Let’s go then.

Ron and Leila walked out of the restaurant and started walking towards Ron’s car.

Leila: Remember the first time you kissed me?

Ron: Ya, I was like seven or something and you were crying.

Leila: You still remember?

Ron: Why not?

Leila: I thought you would’ve forgotten something like that by now.

Ron: of course not.

Leila blushed slightly hearing that Ron actually remembered that moment when he first kissed her. In her eyes, from that moment on Ron became her hero, her knight in shining armor that could protect her and save her from anything and everything.

Ron opened the door for her.

Leila: Thanks.

Ron: No problem.

He then drove her home. When they got there Ron parked the car in front of Leila’s place.

Leila: Bye, I’ll see you tomorrow.

Ron: Wait.

Leila: What?

Ron leaned over and gently kissed her on the cheek.

Leila looked very startled

Ron: Good night.

As Leila got out of his car she felt a rush of blood to her face. She could tell by that feeling that she was blushing.

As Ron drove off he thought to himself:

Why did I do that? What was I thinking? What if she feels awkward now cause of that? I don’t want to ruin our friendship. What’s gotten over me? I know I shouldn’t have done it but now that I have, I might as well deal with it.

~Leila’s home~

About an hour later Bosco came home.

Bosco: So where did you go tonight Leila?

Leila: I just had dinner with Ron.

Bosco: Did you two do anything?

Leila: No, we just had dinner.

Bosco: Are you sure?

Leila: Ya, I’m pretty sure.

Bosco: Then what’s this? (Shows Leila the pictures on his phone)

Leila: Where did you get those?

==========================

I think this definitely made up for the finale of A Truthful Lie, no? lol

Please comment...and I'll update soon. This one was a bit delayed cause I had 2 midterms...so...I hope it wasn't too long of a wait.

The Reason: Ch 6

Ch6

Ron arrived at Leila’s place and went up to get her.

Ron called in.

Leila: hello?

Ron: Hey there, gorgeous.

Leila started laughing: Does this mean you’re standing in front of my door?

Ron: Pretty much. Yeah!

Leila opens the door: Are you going to stand out there forever?

Ron: I would if no one invites me inside.

Leila: Is that necessary? You’re like family.

Ron: Really?

Leila: Like one of my brothers.

Ron: Does that mean I’ll never have a chance with you?

Leila blushed: I guess your hunger is getting to your head.

Ron looked at her in the eye: What if I meant it?

Leila felt her heart began to pound even harder.

Ron couldn’t keep a straight face and burst into laugher.

Leila: Ha! Ha! Very funny! Can we please go now? I’m starving.

Ron: All right. So, where do want to go?

Leila: Don’t know. Doesn’t matter.

Ron: I’ll just drive off randomly and you can tell me where to stop.

Leila: Sounds like a plan.

They got onto Ron’s car and drove off. Ron turned on his favourite song… The Reason by: Hoobastank. Ron felt that he could really connect to that song. Just the first line describes him. “I’m not a perfect person, there’s many things I wished I didn’t do”

Leila didn’t pay attention to the lyrics nor the melody but more to Ron. She knew him since forever. When she was younger she always thought he was her prince charming who would carry her off to a wonderful place. As she got older, she realized that because of their close friendship that could never be.

Leila: STOP!

Ron: Hmm… where are we?

Leila: How would I know?

Ron: You told me stop.

Leila: Well, you told me to tell you to stop.

Ron parked his car and they both got out.

Ron: I guess we’ll just walk until we find ourselves a restaurant.

Leila: I guess so.

They began to walk and spoke about their childhood. After walking for a few blocks Leila was pretty tired.

Leila: I’m tired.

Ron: That’s what you get for not working out.

Leila: Like you do?

Ron: Of Course! I go to the gym every week.

Leila: If you’re so strong, then just give me a piggyback ride.

Ron: Just like old times?

Leila: Just like old times.

Ron smiled, bent down and allowed Leila to get on his back. He trudged along and many people were staring at them.

Ron: You definitely need to work out.

Leila: Are you saying I’m fat?

Ron: Not fat, just a bit heavy.

Leila started hitting him on the shoulders.

Ron: If you do that again I’ll drop you.

Leila: You wouldn’t.

Ron: Pretty sure I would.

Leila: Well then all those people would see.

Ron: I don’t care about what people say.

Leila: Fine be like that.

Ron started to laugh: I won’t drop you; I’d rather have you on my back for the rest of my life.

Leila blushed: You can put me down now.

Ron: Don’t misunderstand I didn’t meant what you think I did. Wait, I’m confusing myself now. I DID mean what I said but…

Leila started to laugh: You don’t need to explain just put me down.

Ron: Why?

Leila: Unless you want to carry me into the restaurant then, be my guess.

Ron: Oh. I didn’t notice.

Ron slowly put Leila down making sure that she wouldn’t hurt herself. The two of them walked in.

Ron: Table for two?

Manager: This way.

They followed him to their table.

Leila: It’s a pretty nice place.

Ron: I’ve never been here before, have you?

Leila: Nope.

Waiter: What can I get you two today?

Ron: Anything you would recommend?

Waiter: Well we do have a “Lover’s Special” if you’re interested.

Ron: What do you think Leila?

Leila: Sure why not.

Waiter: Ok, I’ll be right back with your entrées.

Ron looked at Leila and smiled.

Leila: what are you smiling at?

Ron: I don’t know. Just felt like smiling at you.

Waiter: Here you are.

Leila: This smells good, what is it?

Waiter: These are our famous crab croquettes in the form of two hearts for this special. Bon Appétit!

Ron: Let’s eat!

As the two of them ate their appetizers the main course came and boy it smelled good. By the looks in their eyes you could tell that they were hungry and amazed by the main dish. Just the smell made their mouth waters. Can you smell it? That buttery scent was flying through the air. After their main course came the dessert. A heart shaped tiramisu.

Leila: My favourite!

Ron: Hey, save some for me too.

Leila: We’ll have to see about that.

As they dug through their cake their forks clashed making metal noises that caught the attention of everyone else.

Waiter: May I help you?

Hope you enjoyed it, and remember to comment. Plenty more RL where that came from lol
