Mrs.Su-you didn't tell me Wendy was your mother?

Alec-you two knew each other?

Mr.Su-yes they were very good friends back then

Mr.Su-(Laughing)Oh yes,of course how could i forget.

Jimmy-Dad whats so funny?

Kristy-yeah what did they say?

Mrs.Zhao-Why don't you tell her Helen(Mrs.Su)

Mrs.Su-Well when Alec was very young we came up with an idea. Eileen-what was it?

For a minute both Alec and Vicki were having a weird feeling

Mrs.Su-we though that if the next baby Mrs Zhao has is a girl then.. there was silence waiting for her to finish the sentence.

Mrs.Su-..you two could get married

Alec & Vicki-What?!!?

Steven-mom how come we never knew about this?

Kristy again was giggling but this time real LOUD

Mr.Zhao-I think your mother forgot about it until now

Mr.Su-but I think you both should be able to decide

Vicki suddenly put on a weird face.

Mrs.Su-um, so

Vicki-excuse me I need to go to the restroom

Kristy-I'll go with you

They all watched the two girls disappear

~Inside the Restroom~

Kristy finally let out all the laughter she been holding inside out

Vicki-It's not funny

Kristy-if you...(she tried to finish her sentence but her laughter took over)

Vicki-stop it.

Kristy- okay okay(tried to control herself)

Kristy-If you marry my brother then that means you'll be my sister in law

Kristy-give him a chance he's really nice,sweet...

Vicki-okay,I need you to help me.

Mrs.Su-Really?

Before Vicki could reply Kristy came in

Kristy-yes mom, in fact her boyfriend is famous

Vicki looks at Kristy and wonders what she is doing

Kristy--They have actually known each other for quite a long time

Mrs.Zhao-Vicki sit down[patting the seat beside here]
Vicki sat down
Vicki had a bad feeling inside of her
Mrs.Zhao-so when are you bring home this gentleman?

Mrs.Zhao-i just want what's good for her,you can't trust everyone these days
Mrs.Zhao-Vicki so when is this gentleman coming?

All of a sudden the phone rang

May-hello,Zhao's resident
May-would you hold
May turns to the family
May-Ms Vicki Zhao, there's a Mr. Ekin Cheung on the line for you
Vicki went still when she heard Ekin's name and she was sure her mother heard too,but she managed to get to the phone
Vicki-um thanks May
Vicki-Ekin?(whispering and covering half of the mouth piece)
Ekin-why are you whispering?
Vicki-why did you phone here?
Ekin-well I phoned you but Ruby said you went to your parents,I tried your cell but you turned it off.

Mrs.Zhao-are you busy tonight?
Ekin-no..
cutting Ekin off, not letting him finish
mrs.Zhao-great,why don't you come over for dinner
Ekin-I wouldn't want to be a bother
Mrs.Zhao finally got Ekin to give up and come over
Mrs.Zhao hung up

Vicki-Mom,why did you invite him?
Mrs.Zhao-I just wanted to get to know him better and...are you two in an argument?
Vicki-Of course not!
Vicki-is he coming?
Vicki held her breath hoping for a no
Mrs.Zhao-yes he's coming over right away
Vicki was about to fall but her feet froze,she was in trouble now
Mrs.Zhao-he seems really nice,I think you found the right person this time

Moments later Ekin arrived

May-Mr.Ekin Cheung is here
Everyone turned to face Ekin
Ekin greeted everyone

She was thinking of what to do,she decided to ask Ekin to play along
Vicki finally got a moment with Ekin

Vicki-Ekin I have to tell you something
Ekin-me too,your family is awesome,their really nice,your brother too
Vicki-Ekin,can you...
Mrs Zhao interrupted them by opening Vicki's bedroom door
Mrs.Zhao-Vicki,Ekin dinners ready
Ekin followed Mrs Zhao down,but when he pasted Vicki he said
Ekin-tell me after,i'm hungry

Everyone was already seated when Vicki came,but all she can do is stare at Ekin cause she knew her mother is going to have to come to that topic.If only she can go back in time and not go to that dinner than everything would be fine.
Mrs.Zhao-sit down Vicki

Later on when everyone has almost finished their meal,except Vicki cause she hardly even touched her food
Ekin-may I ask who the chef is?
Steven-my mom cooked today
Ekin-Mrs.Zhao,your cooking is excellent
Mr.Zhao-Of course that is one reason that I married her for(laughing)
Mrs.Zhao-thank you Ekin,thats very nice of you.

Mr.Zhao-Vicki are you okay you didn't even touch your food and you hardly said a word today
Ekin-What's wrong Vicki,your usually very talkative
Vicki-nothing(looking down at her food)

Mrs.Zhao-So Ekin,do you treat my daughter well or do you bully her?
Ekin-of course I do,she's one of my best friends
Mrs.Zhao-she should be happy to have a boyfriend like you.
Ekin-boyfriend...????
Mrs.Zhao-so how long have you two been dating?
Ekin-Mrs.Zhao,I think you have a misunderstanding I'm not...
Vicki-Ekin's not my boyfriend!!!He's just a good friend of mines
There was silence for a few seconds
Mrs.Zhao-but last time you said...
Vicki-sorry mom,I just wanted to get out of that mess that day,and didn't know Kristy would put Ekin in it
Mrs.Zhao-kristy was part of this too?
Mrs.Zhao-so that's why you were in the restroom that long
Vicki-sorry
Mr.Zhao-why didn't you just tell us the truth?
Vicki-well....
Mrs.Zhao-does this mean I got my hopes up for nothin?And I though this time you found the right guy.
Vicki gave Eileen and Steven a look which Mrs.Zhao also saw
Mrs.Zhao-you two knew didn't you?
Eileen-mother calm down
Mr.Zhao-lets just let this past by.
Ekin-I don't understand,what happened?
Vicki-Sorry Ekin,didn't mean to get you involved,I'll tell you later
Mrs.Zhao-Ekin, you did say you two got along really well right?
Ekin-yes...(still confused)
Mrs.Zhao-you two can try.....
Vicki-Mom..!
Mrs.Zhao-Okay,Okay.
Vicki-Mom I'll tell you when i meet the right person okay?
Mrs.Zhao-What about Alec,he's nice...
Vicki-mom i'll tell you
Mr.Zhao-yes Wendy let her decide
Vicki-thanks dad
Mrs.Zhao-fine not Alec,but I have friends and theirs sons are...
Mrs.Zhao noticed Vicki's face and stopped
Eileen-(laughing inside)Mom you talked to Vicki enough today,how bout Steven....
Steven-me?
Eileen-...he's older than me and Vicki and I don't see a single girl around him
Mr.Zhao-yes Steven,have you found the right one yet?I am waiting to be a grandfather and I can't wait any longer.
Mrs.Zhao-yes Steven I know some nice girls....
Steven-how bout Eil...
Vicki-she's engaged,did you forget?
Eileen tries to lighten up the spirit
Eileen-Steven...
Steven-what?
Eileen-........................are you GAY?
Everyone started to laugh except Steven even though they all knew it was a joke
Steven-what ,Of course not
Vicki-Eileen,I think you should stop ,I don't think he can take it any more,you don't want him to confess, do you?

AN:I WANT TO MAKE THIS SHORT SO I"M NOT GOING TO PUT MUCH DETAIL

Vicki told Ekin what had happened while Steven was trying to get out of his own problems,she'll have to thank Eileen for changing the subject.Vicki felt better now that her problems are solved.

When Vick opened the door to her apartment she saw 5 pairs of eyes staring at her.
Vicki-don't tell me this is another meeting
She noticed they all had big smiles on their faces
Viviane walked over to Vicki
AN:VIVIANE"S FRIEND IS FINE NOW

Viviane-i didn't see you for a while and you got engaged already...
Vicki shot Kristy a look,she was giggling again
She knew what happened

Viviane-....are you going to not tell me,..oh so you didn't want to invite me to your wedding right?
Vicki could see Viviane was holding in her laughter
Vicki-Its not funny
Ruby-why didn't you tell me earlier,Im like your best best friend!
Vicki-could we not start this again,I just finished confessing to my parents and i'm tired
Vicki was about to walk to her room when Viviane and Gig came and they both pulled her to the sofa,Vicki was surrounded,Gig and Viviane were beside her while Shirley ,Ruby and Kristy were in front of her,And all were staring at here
Viviane-tell us what happened first then we'll let you go

Vicki told them the whole story
shirley-I wouldn't be able to go through that(shaking her head and leading back against the sofa her back facing Vicki
Gigi-don't you hate it when your parents try to pair you up?
Vicki-yes,now can I get some shuteye,I'm really tired
Vicki walks to her room and falls asleep without bothering to change.

Ruby-(Yarning)hey Vic,went for a jog?
Vicki-yeah!
Ruby-why didn't you call me?

Ruby grabbed a pillow from the couch and threw it at Vicki
But Vicki ducked and ran into the washroom to wash up.
Vicki cooked breakfast this morning while Ruby took a shower.
For some reason she felt so energetic this morning.
Vicki and Ruby ate their breakfast and Ruby washed the dishes since Vicki cooked breakfast
Ruby wore a tank top and a skirt up to her knees which had a spit on both sides while Vicki wore her new outfit and heels.It was a grey suit that had a skirt to match with it while she wore her black heels.

Louis grabbed Wong's hand and twisted it around to his back,which made him drop the knife and let of of Ruby
Ruby fell to the Ground
Madame repeated the phrase again while Jimmy and Louis hand capped Wong.

Vicki ran to the bottom of the stairs where May was standing
Vicki-May,thats just my IcQ
Vicki went back to her room

Weiwei-okay then,bye
HKgurl-bub bye

VICKI finally decided to open the present.Inside was a golden locket with a chain.Vicki couldn't believe it,this was the necklace she was looking for when she went to visit Auntie and Uncle(nicolas's parents)4 years ago.she could still remember ,she saw it when Nicolas was giving Eileen ,her and Steven a tour of the city.None of them had brought money with them that day so she couldn't buy it.THat was also the day that Nicolas's wallet went missing.When Vicki went back to the store,she asked the owner ,he said that necklace was sold to someone else.SHe also found out that it was really hard to find that necklace, cause they have only made 10 copies.She couldn't believe Nicolas remembered......she went to thank him

KNOCK, KNOCK
Nicolas opened the door to his room and was immediately embraced in a tight hug from Vicki
Nicolas-Vic,what's this for?Ummm if you hug any tighter im going to die.
Vicki-sorry.(letting go)
Nicolas-what was that for?
Vicki-I just wanted to thank you for this(holding up the locket that was now around her neck)
Nicolas-oh that.......
Vicki-How did you remember?
Nicolas-well ,I remembered this girl who went crazy over that necklace and bugged me cause I didn't buy it for her,and that was also the day I lost my wallet,and no one had money with them.
Vicki-Hey ,that's not how it goes.Don't pick on me.
Nicolas-You don't happen to know who that girl was,do you?(looking at Vicki)
Vicki-(smiling)yes,but how did you find it?
Nicolas-oh I have my ways
Vicki looked at the suitcase Nicolas had
Vicki-you didn't unpack yet?
Nicolas-I was just about to.
Vicki-here let me help you.(putting one of the suitcases on the bed)
Nicolas-You don't have to..
Vicki-hey,appreciate it,Im not always this nice.
Nicolas-fine,enjoy
Vicki opened up the suitcase and the first thing that caught her attention was a picture that was on the side of that suitcase.
Vicki picked up the picture
Vicki-Auntie is so pretty,they're such a good coup.........
Vicki-....oh sorry Nic,I didn't mean to remind you
Nicolas-that's okay.
Vicki-I'll get you a nice picture frame for this picture.
Nicolas-thanks
Nicolas-hey didn't you move out?
Vicki-yeah,but mom just wanted me to stay here today because I got in a little car accident and she got worried.
Nicolas-oh...
Vicki-you know how mom is right?She sometimes over react.
Nicolas-that's probably how come your hand is bandaged right?
Vicki-yup.

THe elevator doors opened and she was face to face with Alec Su.
Alec-uh,hi
vicki-hi.I guess your here to see my father and yours too huh?(looking at the doors)
Alec-yup
THey stood in the elevator with silence both hoping time would move faster.
Alec-So what do you think they want to see us for(breaking the ice between them)
Vicki-Maybe,about the project
Alec-maybe

The elevator doors finally opened.It seemed like a life time for the two but was really only less then a minute.

Amy-Hello,Vicki
Vicki-Amy ,I think my father wants to see us right?
Amy-yes,follow me.

Knock ,Knock

Inside Mr.Zhao's Office

Mr.Zhao-Ah,that must be them now

Vicki-you were?
Mr.Su-yes,we were just saying on what an excellent job you two did on designing the new mall.And how what a bad idea you two did by disagreeing about the marriage.You two have so much in common.
Alec and Vicki's face both became pale for a second there.
Mr.Zhao-Are you two okay?
Alec and Vicki-(saying it at the same time)We're fine(giving each other glances)
Mr.Su-See what I mean?
Mr.Zhao-okay,Me and Mr.Su was just saying you two did a great job,and all you have to do now,is hire the constructionist,so one of you have to contact the company and the other has to get someone to make the contract.THis will take a week or so,you also have to decide what stores will be in the mall .And the constructioning,all you two have to do is come in once a week to make sure its going fine.We decided to let Nicky be in charge of this constructioning thing.Once the mall is build,both me and Mr.Su will come in to take a look at it.
Mr.Su-You know what Mr.zhao,I think we should pair them up together more often.

Chapter 16

Vicki-ummm......so do you want to contact the constructional's company or should I?
Alec-i'll.........
Suddenly the elevator started to shake and soon the lights were off
Alec-.........do it
Vicki-what happened?(Vicki was holding onto the metal bars of the elevator)
Alec-I think something is wrong with the elevator
Alec-push the emergency button

ALec-don't look at me.
Vicki-first the present,then the accident,then the surprise arrangements,then getting stuck with you in your father's company,Now this.
Alec-hey,you don't have to say all my night mares out ,you know.
There was silence
Vicki-I wonder when they will finally realize we're stuck in here?
ALec-oh yeah my cell(going through all the pockets in his suit)
Alec-I guess I must have left it in my office(staring at Vicki)
Vicki-don't worry I still have mines(which was in her hand and she forgot about it until Alec mentioned the word cell)
Vicki started to dial Nicky's office number

Nicky-hello....
Vicki-Nicky,I need your help.Me and ..............(the line went dead)

The others took this time to escape in which Steven saw them and gave them a look for leaving him there,listening to one of his parent's speech

Mr.Zhao-Well thats because they were only after your money.

Mr.zhao-..............and................................................................(steven stood there listening to his parents)

Alan and Eileen had gone to call alan's parents.vicki went to her room

and Nicholas went to memorize his lines for the commercial.

Alan-yes mother.you want to speak to Eileen?

Alan handed the phone to Eileen

Eileen took a deep breath before taking the phone

Eileen-hello Auntie

Eileen-okay,ummmmm......mom

Alan smiled at what he had heard

Eileen-yes,im doing fine.

Eileen-no no,you don't have to come that early.

Eileen-okay,If you like to

Eileen-sure

Eileen handed the phone back to Alan

Vicki was in her room going through her closet.she skimmed through all her outfits(which there were tons)...and her eyes landed on a white dress, that was up to the knees and had a spilt on one side and spaghetti straps with diamonds on it.This dress was Vicki's prom dress.She held the straps up to the top of her shoulders and looked at her self in the mirror.The dress was beautiful.she wondered to her self if she could still fit it.

Vicki-(thinking to her self)nah,im too fat now But she tried it on anyways,and to her surprise she actually got it on. She looked at her self once again in the mirror,this dress reminded Vicki of her wonderful prom night.

~YEARS AGO~

Vicki and her friends were really excited about prom night.For one thing,they're going to graduate and they were happy for Vicki.Vicki had,had this major crush on this guy for years.And this certain guy just asked her out to be his prom date.This guy was named Vincent,(heyhey every1,I no Vincent in life is much older then Vicki but member this is just mai crazy fanfic:))he was the sort of guy which girls drooled over.Lots of guys had asked Vicki to be their prom date but she denied all of them,until it came to Vincent,she said yes because she had been having a major crush on him and wanted him to ask her out for a long time now.She had also found out from a friend that Vincent had had a crush on her for a long time too,its just that he wasn't brave enough to ask her out.But now was his last chance.That prom was the most wonderful prom Vicki had and the only one she'll have.That night also started Vicki's relationship with Vincent.Her first love.Or so she thought was. This dress reminded Vicki of the good things and the bad things. Vicki and Vincent dated for 4 years,most couples by this time would have got married,but somehow these two never got to this stage. They started to spend less and less time together,but one day Vicki found out why.Vincent had another girlfriend,in other words he was cheating on her.Vicki was really hurt,she thought they had really had something special between them but she was wrong.Vincent told her that he just didn't know how to tell her and that after 3 years of dating Vicki he found out they grew far apart or were not meant to be.So on this very same day Vicki found out 2 things,Vicki found out that she has been lied to and cheated on for one whole year, and second her boyfriend had just asked this girl to marry him and she had just found out this girl he was dating was pregnant.Vicki didn't know what to do.She wanted to commit suicide,but good thing Vicki had lots of very good friends there to support her and tell her to move on.After this Vicki and Vincent still remained friends.Vincent had moved to France with his new girlfriend.

A tear shred down on Vicki's cheek she changed out of the outfit and hung it back up in her closet vicki decided to go bother Nicholas for awhile since she had nothing to do.

Knock Knock

Nicholas-come in

Vicki-hey Nic

Nicholas-hey,so decided to bother me again huh? (Nicholas was walking back and forth trying to memorize his part)

Vicki-yeah,how did you know?

Nicholas-Im your cousin,I know you very well.

Vicki-nic,can I ask you something?

Nicholas-shoot!(still walking back and forth)

Vicki-what do you think of Gigi?

Nicholas stopped and sat on the bed next to vicki

Nicholas-she's nice,why?

Vicki-oh nothing,Im just asking.

Nicholas gave vicki a stare then.........

Nicholas-okay help me with this then...............(he handed Vicki one of the scripts so she can be the other person)

Chapter 21

Nicky-hey I thought you already met Ruby?

Alec-I have?

Louis-He has?

Alec-how come I didn't know that

Benny-Cause you have a bad memory

Nicky-yeah Alec,how can you forget your best buds girlfriend?

Alec-when did I meet Ruby?

Nicky-do you still remember the time when we went to the gym to do some workout and we met 3 girls?

Alec-yeah?

Nicky-...one of them was your sister and the other was vicki and the other one was Ruby.

Alec-Ruby?Really,that was Ruby?

Nicky-yeah.

Louis-so you have already met my girlfriend.(sipping his coffee)

Alec-yeah,I guess so,its just i didn't know she was your girlfriend that time

Nicky-(whispering to Benny)Thats because his attention was all on Vicki!

Alec-what did you say Nicky?

Nicky-ummmmm.......I said its time to go to work.(running
off)

Benny-hey you forgot your file.(yelling after him)
all of a sudden Nicky returned,grabbed his file and ran off again

Alec was not in the mood to run after him,he was wondering why he haven't heard from weiwei for such a long time now

Benny turned back to the others after the weird disappearance of Nicky

Benny-so Lou when do we get to meet your girlfriend?

Louis-I don't know,let me ask her when she has free time k?

They soon all left to work too.

~ THE COMMERCIAL~

On the take two the commercial was finish,usually it would

take forever for a new comer,but it didn't for nicholas.The

producer congratulated him,and wished him good luck on his

future career.The producer then gave him his cheque.But

what Nicholas really wanted was to go further on in his

acting career.The producer told him the time and channel

the commercial will first be on.The commercial Nicholas

filmed was based on ________(well to tell you the truth ,I

have no clue what to put in this blank space here,so if any

of you have an idea,please tell me and i will put it on:)

thnz.But 4 now im going to leave it empty and i will come

back to it later k?)

~ICAC STation~

Madame-this man is the top number one criminal we have been

looking for for a long time now.He was held in lots of

times but we never ever got enough evidence to get him back

to jail.He is 45 years old,he has been in jail for 18 years

for dealing and trading with illegal weapons.When he was

out he continued to deal with these and he had murdered a

rich family last year to get their money.And now he is

dealing with more illegal things,we want to track this man

down, once and for all.So This is going to be our next

case.His name is Kenny Chu,he was noticed a few days ago in

a hotel by a cop.This cop tried to chase after him but did

not manage to catch him.We heard he is back in Hong Kong to

deal with weapons again and he is now selling drugs,so now

we have to catch him before its too

late...............................

The meeting continued for another hour

After the meeting Louis asked Ruby to join him for Lunch

and Ruby agreed.So Louis went to pick ruby up at her store.

They went to a cafe near the store so Ruby can get back

faster.

Louis-Ruby....

Ruby-yes?(looking up at him from her dessert)

Louis-well my friends just asked me this morning when they

across the table)........and i will always be by your side

to support you,just like Vicki

Ruby-thank you

The two smiled and continued on with their Lunch hour.

Vicki-sure,i'll be there in 10 minutes.Whats the address?

Eileen told Vicki the address of the wedding store,Vicki

Vicki-whoa,you two sure look different

Nicholas-is that a compliment?

Vicki-sooo,how do I look?(twirling around)

Steven-Very Very Different.

Alan-vicki,you look beautiful

Vicki-Thanks Alan(blushing)

Steven-hey,I never knew you knew how to blush

Vicki started chasing Steven but they froze a few seconds

later when Eileen stepped out.

Alan was stunned,his fiancé looked so beautiful.

Eileen walked out shyly

Alan walked up to her and held her hands.

Alan-Eileen,your beautiful

Eileen to blushed,then all of a sudden Vicki popped up

beside her

Vicki-sis,your so beautiful,i think you should stick with

Eileen-yes,I like this one too but its so expensive

THE NEXT MORNING

Vicki-morning Rub

Ruby was sitting on her desk chair when Vicki went past her

bedroom

Vicki went into the bathroom to get ready to take ruby to

the company.Vicki had took half the day off to take Ruby.

When Vicki finished she walked out and almost bumped into

Ruby

Ruby-(yawn,covering her mouth)hey Vic

Vicki-you look so tired.........

Vicki-rub,did you spend the whole night drawing new

Ruby-ummmm.........no

Vicki-yeah right Rub,look you have big dark rings under

Ruby-but they weren't good enough

Vicki-how do you know,your not marking it.

Ruby-okay sorry,you don't have to get so worried

Vicki-okay then,now go clear those rings ,you don't want

Louis to see you like that ,do you?

Chapter 22

Vicki-finish?

Ruby walked over to the couch and sat down beside Vicki

Ruby-whoa,you scared me back there

Ruby-well you sounded like my mom

Vicki-What?!!

Vicki started to tickle Ruby,and Ruby arose with laughter

Ruby-okay,sorry.................(laughter)............stop please....I give up

Vicki-fine,now go change!(pointing to Ruby's room)(pretending to be Ruby's Mother)

Ruby-(bowing)yes,Mother

Vicki-hey!(smiling)

Ruby-okay okay,(putting both her hands up in other words meaning surrender)

Ruby-you didn't even change yet too.......unless your going to wear those pajamas to that company(giggling)

Vicki stuck her tongue out at Ruby and ran into her room

15 minutes later they were both dress and ready to go,but first they ate breakfast

Vicki had opened the top of her BMW convertible to get some fresh air

Ruby-I'm so nervous Vic

Vicki-(staring ahead at the road)calm down Rub,it'll be fine

Ruby-what if i don't get in?

Vicki-w...........

Ruby-what if I do get in?

Ruby-do you think my drawings are they good enough?

Ruby-....maybe i should redraw them,should I?

Ruby-Vic,give me some ideas

Ruby-no, wait......!

Vicki stepped on her brakes

Vicki-whats wrong

Ruby-I should have brought all my sketches just in case

Vicki sighed,she never seen her friend this nervous before,Ruby is usually a very calm person

Vicki started on the road again

Ruby-Vic,your not answering me

Vicki-well I couldn't,you had so much questions,I was waiting for you to finish

Ruby-Vicki,turn back I think I should get the other sketches

Vicki-we can't Rub,If we do,we'll be late for the meeting there

Vicki-Rub,those sketches are fine,I looked at them this morning,you will win for sure

Ruby-you sure?(looking at her friend)

Vicki-yes,they're very unique ideas(still concentrating in her driving)

Ruby took another look at her sketches,she had took ten with her,she only needed 5 but she brought 10 just in case

All of a sudden the sketches flew out of her hand and onto the street ,she now only had one in her hand

Ruby-oh no,Vic stop

Vicki-k.

Vicki parked her convertible to the side and got out of her car to pick up the sketches with Ruby

A shadow darkened Ruby and Vicki's view and they stood up and turned around to see Alec

Alec-Vicki?

Vicki-ug...hey

Vicki-yes.....

Ruby-thanks......ummmm.....

Alec-oh yeah,but he didn't tell us it was Saturday

Vicki-sorry to interrupt your conversation ,but Rub we're going to be late

Ruby-okay.

Vicki-so did you get all of them?(handing the sketches to Ruby to let her count)

Ruby finished counting and

Ruby-Vic,we're still missing one more(now she got really anxious)

Vicki-you sure?

Ruby-yes.

They looked around

Alec-what exactly are you guys looking for?maybe i can help.

Ruby-Its these sketches I drew for a designing competition.(said worriedly)

Vicki-there it is(pointing to it in the middle of the street)

Vicki ran to the middle of the road to pick it up,and just right when

she picked it up at cat came zooming at her.Vicki was to stunned to

move, while Ruby gasped in horror.

Chapter 23

Alec had at the sight of seeing this ,had then quickly ran towards Vicki and pulled her out of the road ,making both of them fall on the

ground,where Vicki was on top of Alec

Once Vicki found out where she was and in what position she was in she quickly stood up and brushed the dirt of her clothes

Vicki-sorry.......(embarrassed)

Alec-its..................

Ruby by then had ran over to Vicki and hugged her

Ruby-Vic,you scared me!

The driver of the sports car zoom pasted them yelling"watch where your going next time".

Out side the Restaurant later on

10 minutes later they were parked in front of a big big house that was in a very peaceful neighborhood.

they all got out.

Gigi-sarah told me to meet her here,she should be her any minute now

Right then a car came by and parked right beside Vicki's car.And a girl got out from the drivers side

Girl-Gigi,sorry im late

Gigi-thats okay

Gigi-oh Sarah I like you to meet my friends,Shirley,Vicki,Ruby,Viviane and Kristy.

Gigi-you guys,this is Sarah

When they go inside,everyone started to wander around

Gigi-Sarah,this is better than you described it to me

Sarah-well.............

Kristy-its so nice,we gotta have it Gi

Sarah-Im glad you like it Kristy

15 minutes later everyone had found their way back into the living room

Sarah-oh,and I would like to tell you that if you buy this house,all the furniture will be yours.

Sarah-okay,here you go,these belong to you now(handing them a big set of keys)

Sarah-okay thats settle then.

Sarah-Gigi,Im going to miss you.(hugging her)

Kristy-I can't believe this house is ours now

Vicki-i know,It has a great view

After finishing that sentence they all ran up stairs to settle which room is theirs

Vicki got to the room she liked the most with the huge balcony.

Vicki-this one is mines.

They all settled which room was theirs,even Viviane did.Then they went to the club to do some dancing

The CLUB

Kristy-what?

Shirley-Its sooooo loud in here(yelling)

Vicki-you'll get used to it soon Shir

Ruby-come on Vic,lets go dance(pulling Vicki onto the dance floor)

Gigi-hey,where's viv?

Ruby-Gigi invited us here,since its her birthday today

Ruby-yeah and with my friends.

Louis-and mines.(smiling)

Viviane-(coming by)here you guys.............

Viviane-......whats he doing here?

Louis-I decided to surprised Ruby by coming here

Once seeing the look on Viviane's face

Vicki-nah,he's just joking viv,he came he with friends and we just met him.

Viviane-girlfriendS i suppose

Louis-so sorry Viviane Yuen but your answer is wrong

Viviane-i thought i was going to have a no Louis day and now i do see him

Ruby-Viv,just calm down,he's just my boyfriend.

Viviane-I think Im going to go sit down.(walking away)

Vicki-me too,before i start getting goosebumps from staring at this love sick couple

Shirley-yeah me too.

That left Louis and Ruby on the dance floor together

Gigi-really?Louis is here to?

Viviane-yes,and I wanted today to be an anti-Louis day,but he just had to come and ruin it.

Kristy-Louis is not that bad viv

Viviane-yes he is.

Shirley-cheer up Viv,be nice to him besides you do want Ruby to be happy right?

Vicki-yeah you don't want her to see you guys arguing all the time

Viviane-fine!i'll try to do it for Ruby.

Viviane-.But its not any reason accept for Ruby

Ruby and Louis walked back to the table

Louis-hey gigi,happy Birthday!

Nicky-where are they now?

Louis-they're over............................

Alec-wait a minute,this is bad.

Benny-whats bad?

Alec-That means that girl is there too.

Louis-thats not so bad,now lets go join them

They all stood up and was about to walk over there but they noticed Alec wasn't moving so they had to pull him over

After they greeted each other some sat to chat and some went on the dance floor

Louis,Ruby,Shirley,Viviane and Benny went on the dance floor.Leaving Alec,nicky,Gigi,kristy and vicki at the table

Nicky-so its Gigi's birthday huh?

Nicky-Happy Birthday Gi, and you get something special from me to you

Gigi-what is that?

Nicky-birthday beets?(smiling)

Gigi-oh no,don't you think about that(she started to run around and nicky chased her leaving the table with only three people)

Once those two left the table became quiet

Kristy-how come you two are so quiet?

Alec-(placed 30 dollars on the table)that happens to be yours

Vicki-what for?

Alec-i don't need your money

Vicki-what money

Alec-the one you gave me this afternoon for driving you to Glory cafe

Kristy-ohhhhhhh,so thats why you were there.

Kristy-Vicki,I thought you said you didn't know

Kristy-hey...........Are you two hiding some.................

Vicki &Alec-No!

Kristy-I told you ,you two had lots in common

Vicki tried to avoid the contact with Alec by checking her cell phone to check if anyone called her.There was 6 messages left for here)

1)from Ekin saying Vicki are you free tonight?

2)from Ekin saying Vicki are you mad at me?

3)from Ekin saying Vicki we need to talk

4)from Ekin saying Vicki just tell me if you don't like me and I won't bother you

5)from Ekin saying Vicki why aren't you answering me?

6)from Ekin saying,Vicki i'll wait for you at 'Greens Park"i'll wait until you show up.

Kristy looked away from her brother and at vicki

Kristy-Vicki,whats wrong?

Vicki-nothing?(seeing aLec was there,she didn't want him to now about her personal life)(putting away her cell)

Vicki-i think Im going to go join the others k?

Kristy-okay

Alec-whats wrong with her?

Kristy-i don't know

Later when they were about to leave

Gigi-hey ,why don't you guys join us for karaoke?

Nicky-you guys are going to a karaoke?

Ruby-yup,so you guys are join us right?

Louis-yes,they all don't have nothing to do so yes.

So they all went to karaoke

The only odd person there was vicki cause her attention was not on what they were doing but ws thinking about Ekin

Chapter 29

Ruby-here vic,your turn to sing(handing her the mic)

Meanwhile it was also ALec's turn to sing

Alec-like I want to sing with you

Nicky-will you two stop arguing?

Louis-no offense but you two argue more then me and Miss.Yuen here.

Viviane-hate to say this,but I have to agree with you on this one Mr.Koo

Shirley-just sing the song,its not going to kill you or something

they started to sing And when they finished there was a big round of applause.

Ruby-that was Great.

Benny-man,if you two went into a competition together you'll win for sure.

Alec-fine

They sang and when they finish their friends cheered for them

Shirley-you two sounded so.....

Nicky-cold in this one.

Benny-yeah,its like you had no feelings.

kristy-thats because it wasn't a love song

Suddenly Vicki's cell rang

Ruby-vic,your cell.(hands it to her)

Shirley-I thought you turned it off.

Vicki-i did,but i put it back on.

Vicki-hello?

....................................

Vicki-hello............(the dial tone was then heard)

Vicki hung up

Gigi-who was it?

Vicki-I don't know ,they didn't say anything

Alec-they got scared off by your voice that why

Vicki ignored alec

Kristy-hey my turn

Benny-I'll sing this one with you Kristy

Kristy-okay...................

Vicki-Gigi can i talk to you?

Gigi-sure

They went into the hallway

Vicki-Gi,im really really sorry but I think i need to go check on Ekin

Gigi-what?why,what happened to him?

Vicki-I don't know,back at the club ,i checked my cell and found out he left a whole bunch of messages for me and in one he told me to meet him

at Greens park,and he said if he doesn't see me then he won't leave

Gigi-really?go ahead then vic

Vicki-are you sure?

Gigi-hey i don't want you to miss out on a chance of getting to be Ekin's girlfriend

Vicki-im not going to be his girlfriend

Gigi-sure

Vicki-anyways,thanks Gi,your the best,sorry to spoil your birthday.

Gigi-its fine,now go,i think its raining,and take the car,we'll ask for a ride back after from Louis

Vicki-thanks gi,happy birthday(giving her a big hug)

Then she went off and gigi went back inside the room

Ruby looked up

Ruby-gi,wheres Vic?

Gigi-oh she has something to do.

BACK TO VICKI

She was driving and it was raining then all of a sudden her car stopped

Vicki got out ,standing in the rain,she lift up the hood of her car,trying to find out what happened,but she wasn't a mechanic genius or

anything.The roads were empty ,no cars pasted by so Vicki leaned on her car and waited.luckily 5 minutes later ,headlights of a car came to

view.The car stopped beside Vicki,and out came a person she did not want to see at the moment.Alec Su.

Vicki-what are you doing here?(************member every1 it was raining****************)

Alec-i need to go back to the company to get something

Alec-what happen?(now being totally wet but not compared to vicki)

Vicki-i don't know,my car just stopped for some reason

Alec-let me take a look

Alec took a look under the hood and he couldn't find the problem until he went inside her car

Alec came back out

Alec-ummmm.........I think I found out whats wrong

Vicki-whats wrong?

Alec-when was the last time you filled your gas tank?

Vicki-last night..........?

Vicki-what?you mean thats the reason?

Alec nodded

VIcki-we must have gone to too much places today

Vicki looked at her watch.It has been 4 hours since Ekin sent her that message and she didn't want him to wait anymore,plus it was raining.

Alec-okay,i can not believe Im doing this again, but hop in(getting back in his car)

Vicki-you serious?

Alec-yes,as long as you don't think of me as a Taxi driver anymore.

Vicki-thank you(going to the passengers side)

Alec-im only doing this because I can see that you're in a rush.

Vicki-thanks

During the ride every thing was quiet

Alec-ummm.......you didn't tell me where you need to go yet,you know?

Vicki-oh,Greens park?

Alec-Greens park?

Vicki-yeah,the place you dropped me off this morning

Alec-yeah I know

Vicki-thanks a lot,im in such a rush and if it wasn't for you ,I think I'll still be standing in the rain right now.

Alec-hey,i just feel sorry for you besides you are my buddies girlfriends,best friend

Alec-do you need me to speed it up then?

Vicki-no,its okay

Alec-you know im not used to you being this nice

Vicki-the only reason is because you're helping me out here.

Alec-makes sense

Vicki could see the park from a distance,she didn't know what she was going to say to Ekin but she knew she can not make him wait for her

outside this late when its even raining.She should really thank Alec but she just doesn't know how.But all she could think of now is what

she's going to do when she sees Ekin.

Alec-we're here(stopping his car)

Alec-hello?

Alec-Vicki!

Vicki-huh?

Alec-we're here

Vicki-oh (she was about to get out)

Alec held on to her arm

Alec-take this(handing her an umbrella he got from the back seat)

Vicki-thanks(taking it then thinking back about what to say to Ekin)

Alec-hey,whats that guy doing out in the rain?(seeing a figure of a guy)

Vicki turned to look in the direction Alec was looking

Alec-oh well.

Alec-okay,i don't want mon..................

Alec was shocked.

Vicki had said Thank you and gave him a peck on the cheek then left.

Alec sat there stunned

Instead of money this time,she gave him a kiss

Vicki opened the umbrella Alec had given her and ran over to the dark figure.

Ekin turned around to see Vicki running towards him.A smile lit up on his face

When Vicki had reached ekin,she didn't get a chance to say anything cause Ekin had brought her into a big embrace,making vicki drop the umbrella

Alec had given her

Alec was still stunned when he came back to reality he looked the direction vicki had ran off to,and what he saw was vicki hugging that fellow

that he saw in standing in the rain in the park earlier.Alec felt weird inside.he did not know what it was.

why was he feeling like this when tomorrow he gets to meet Weiwei

Alec-must be her boyfriend(alec said to himself)

And he drove off.

Ekin let go of Vicki

Vicki picked up her umbrella and went back to Ekin

Vicki-Ekin,you didn't have to wait here.

Ekin-But i told you i will ,until you come,and you did(smiling)

Vicki-im sorry,its my fault,if I.......................

Ekin-shhh(putting his finger to her lip)

Ekin-its not your fault,its my idea k.

Vicki nodded

She has never seen Ekin act this way before,She has known him for sooo long and he had never acted this way toward her.She doesn't know

what will happen to their friendship if she says "yes" to his words.But she's not sure who to choose between.tommy or Ekin.Even though she

has only talked to Tommy over ICQ but she can sense that everything he tells her is true and from his heart.

*FLASH BACK*

Tommy-weiwei,we have known each other for awhile now and I never met a girl like you....and I ummmmmmm.............

Tommy-i ummmm...................really like you and .................

Weiwei-and what?

Tommy-you know what Im talking about

Weiwei-no,i don't understand(*********she understands,she just wants him to say it out****************)

Tommy-well ,i was hoping we could.........ummmmmm

Tommy-.......................become more then friends.

Weiwei-Im shocked.

Tommy-so what do you think?

Tommy-I know I know, we only met over icq and theres no chance that I could have you as a girlfriend.You probably had tons of guys asking you

this.how bout just think of it as I didn't say anything k?

Weiwei-:)how about I tell you on the day we go out for lunch okay?^_^

Tommy-okay........

*END FLASHBACK*

Vicki-Ekin,about what you told me yesterday,I've been thinking.

Ekin-yes?

Vicki-im not sure yet.................. could you give me more time to think about it?

Ekin-hmmmmm.....sure........how long do you need?

Vicki-ummmm........I think a month is enough.

Ekin-okay then,i'll wait for you.

Vicki-thank you

LATER THAT NIGHT

Ekin had drove her home,by the time Vicki got home Ruby was already back and sitting there waiting to talk to Vicki

Ruby-finally your back .

Vicki-guess gigi told you everything right?

Ruby nodded

Ruby-whoa that umbrella is so wet,and you too

Vicki placed the umbrella outside the balcony

Ruby-so what happened?

Vicki-(sitting down on the couch)well..............all that happened was I asked him to give me more time to think about it and then we talked for

awhile about how we all were when we were young

Ruby-I can't believe it,we all knew Ekin for so long,even i knew him longer than you,who would have known he fell for you

Ruby-i mean,we used to make fun of you guys,cause he always calls you and you two were so close.

Vicki-uh huh.

Ruby-so how long did you ask for?

Vicki-month

Ruby-thats fair.

Ruby-you know the type of guy he is,he'll even wait 1 year for your answer.

Vicki-i don't want to talk about it anymore rub.

Ruby-k.but if you do,im free any time

Vicki-thanks

Ruby-how come i tried calling you but you didn't pick up?

Vicki-you did?

Vicki looked for her purse

Vicki-wheres my purse?

Ruby-i don't know,Did you leave it at the karaoke?

Vicki-I couldn't have because i remember taking it with me when I left(walking in circles)

Vicki-(hit her forehead with her palm)I must have left it in his car.

Ruby-Ekin's car?

Ruby-no prob,just call him and tell him to give it to you tomorrow

Vicki-not his car

Ruby-...........then whose car did you go into?

Vicki-well my car broke down half way there and then Alec drove by and he was nice enough to give me a ride,i wasn't probably thinking to

much about Ekin that I forgot it ............

Vicki-oh my god, and I even .......................

Ruby-what?So Alec gave you a ride,thats nice but what happened?

Vicki-i was still thinking about Ekin,when i thanked him then I gave..

Ruby-you what?

Vicki-.........him a kiss(finishing off her sentence)

Ruby-Vicki zhao,two guys in one night?

Vicki-stop it Rub,things can't get any worse

Ruby-sorry,i shouldn't be teasing you at this time

Vicki-I didn't know what I was doing at that time

Ruby-calm down,just call him and ask him for you purse back

Vicki-..................(still going in circles)I can't do that,after what happened tonight.

Ruby-Vick sit down ,your making me dizzy(pulling her down beside her)

Ruby-Vicki...............calm down and just call him

Vicki-okay,okay,i guess your right........(turned to ruby)

Vicki-could you call for me?

Ruby-no,do it your self vic

Vicki threw a pillow at Ruby

Vicki-what a good friend you are suppose to ask for me

Ruby ran into her room.

Vicki went to check if she got any messages or emails from Tommy and to change into some dry clothes

When the door bell rang Ruby opened it and invited Alec in

Vicki came out awhile afterward

Ruby-Vic,look whose here

Vicki-ug.....hi.

Once vicki closed the door she leaned against it

Vicki-that was the hardest thing I have ever did

Ruby giggled at the sight of her friend

~The Su's Enterprise~
All morning ALec couldn't pay attention to his work,his mind was set on meeting Weiwei for lunch.
knock knock
Alec-huh
Alec-come in
Gigi-ALec?I need you to sign this(setting it down in front of him)
Alec-oh okay(signing it)
Gigi-are you okay today?
Alec-yeah Im fine.
Gigi-Okay.(going back out)

AT VICKI's Office
Vicki couldn't pay attention to her work too,she was thinking about TOmmy,she was really nervous on meeting him,she had a yellow rose set in front of her.Suddenly she got a message on the Intercom
Kim-Miss. Zhao,Mr.cheung wants to speak to you on line 3
Vicki-okay,thank you Kim

Vicki picked up the phone
Vicki-hello?
Ekin-Vicki?
Vicki-hi Ekin
Ekin-vicki,I was just wondering if you would like to join me for lunch today.
Vicki-sorry Ekin,i would love to,but I have to meet someone for lunch today
Ekin-oh okay,how about dinner?
Vicki-I can't either Ekin,i have dinner plans with Ruby and her friends.
Vicki-im really sorry
Ekin-thats okay,another time then
Ekin-well I won't bother you anymore,you can get back to your work
Vicki-okay Ekin
Ekin-bye
Vicki-bye
She placed the phone down.Why was she asking Ekin to wait for her when she was so excited on meeting Tommy today.She didn't know whats wrong with her,now she doesn't know if she should have asked Ekin to wait for her.She has to admit she did have feelings for him before,well a bit.

Vicki called a tow truck to get her car towed to a shop.

~AT LUNCH~(*********hi every1 ,hope this won't upset you***************)

Alec had dropped by a flower shop to get a single yellow rose
then he went to"Glory Cafe" to meet Weiwei

Meanwhile Vicki was already there.
It was going to be hard recognizing him,cause now the cafe had yellow roses on every table.
Vicki stuck her rose into the vase that held the roses at her table and she sat there staring at the door,waiting for a person with a yellow rose to walk in.
Minutes later,a guy did walk in and when she looked up to see who is was,she was surprised to see Alec
it can't be him Vicki thought to herself.Why would she be talking to Alec all the time and not recognize him?no it cant be,just can't be.but what if it is,the guy she was to meet was already 15 minutes late.

Alec looked around for a girl with a yellow rose.But yellow roses were every where in the cafe.And there was no girls holding a yellow rose so he assume she wasn't there yet.
Alec-its going to be impossible to find her (said to himself)
Then Alec recognize a familiar figure
Alec walked over to that table
Alec-hey vicki
Vicki-(looking up,she was trying to avoid him and know he was right in front of her)ug.......hi Alec
Alec-so what are you doing here?(still looking toward the doorway)
(taking a seat in front of Vicki)
Vicki-just having lunch
Alec-oh
Vicki-how about you?
Alec-well im suppose to meet this girl here
Vicki-what girl?
Alec-this girl i met over ICQ
Vicki was shocked,it was him,but how can it be,this Alec seem so different from the Tommy she met over ICQ.
Alec-i thought I was late but I guess she is
Vicki-whats her name?
Alec-weiwei
There goes another one Vicki thought to her self.its definitely ALec then.
Alec-how come your asking so much?And how come Im telling you all this?(turning his glance away from the doorway)
Vicki-ugg........just trying to keep a conversation with you.
Vicki-ummm Alec(about to tell him who she was)........
Alec-yes?
Vicki-im....
Alec-hey you don't mind if I join you until she shows up right?(calling for a waitress,and he asked for a cup of coffee)
Vicki-I.........(changing her mind)well...i want to say Im sorry for yesterday.
Alec-for what ?
Vicki-I was so harsh on you and you helped me out so much these couple of days
Alec-you finally realized huh?
Vicki-well,.....what can I do to make it up to you?
Alec-you don't have to do anything(looking towards the door)
Vicki-friends then(holding out her hand)
Vicki had thought to her self ,the only thing she can do for alec is treat him as a friend,she wasn't planning on telling him who she was,but maybe she will ,one day........
Alec-huh?(looking back at Vicki)
At that moments Alec noticed Vicki had the most hug eyes he had ever seen.they were so innocence and incedible.And yet they were full of mysteries,waiting for someone to find out about them.Yet they were so beautiful.
Alec-friends(shaking her hand)
Vicki-okay,so now lets for get about before and lets try not to argue anymore k?
Alec-i'll try(Its better to be friends with her then enemies anyways cause she was his buddy's girlfriend's bestfriend and she was also a very good friend of his sister,so he wanted to get along with her.)
Vicki-good.(Vicki noticed Alec was still staring at the door)
Vicki-how long has she been late?
Alec-(looking at his watch)30 minutes already
Vicki-I don't think she's going to show up ,why don't you have lunch with this new friend of yours(smiling)
Alec-(turned back to Vicki)Might as well,I don't think she's going to show up
Vicki noticed Alec looked a bit down.She thought it was right not telling him she was Weiwei,at lease they can still become friends.
Vicki-my treat today
Alec-your on,hope you brought enough money.
Even though they were now friends they were still in competition

Chapter 31

Gigi and the others had got ready and went over to vicki and Ruby's apartment

Viviane had told them she didn't want to come so they didn't force her.

Gigi-vicki,how's Nicholas doing these days?(watching Vicki comb her hair)

Vicki-he's okay,I think,did you get to see his commercial yet?

Gigi-his commercial?You didn't tell me about him doing any commercial

Vicki-well he is interested in the acting career.he wants to start off himself so he doesn't want us to help him.

Gigi-awww.........is it still on television?

Gigi-could you bring it sometime?

Vicki-sure

Gigi-vic,why don't you follow your dream?

Vicki-what?

Gigi-you know,as a singer.you always love to sing when you were young.

Vicki-yes I love to sing,but thats not what I want to be.

Gigi-what do you want to be?

Vicki-(setting the comb down)you know how me and Ruby became best friends?

Gigi-how?

Vicki-we both we interested in designing,but I think Ruby has way more talent then me.

Gigi-you should have tried out for that competition too.

Ruby-(walking in)She didn't want to go against me

Vicki-(smiling)besides my life is fine how it is.

Ruby-yup all set.

Gigi-Ruby,you look so pretty

Ruby-this restaurant is going to be very formal........

Ruby-Louis is making the guys wear suits

Vicki-Gi calm down,its not that important.

Ruby was wearing a long purple dress up to the knees with spaghetti straps.it had purple roses on it.While Vicki was wearing a tank top and a

skirt just above the knees.

Gigi-I can't wear this,this is what I wore to work

VIcki-Gigi,its no big deal

Ruby-yup

Shirley-lets go then.

Gigi-Vic,I stole a pair of your heels

Vicki-its okay.

Gigi-Guys have it so easy

Ruby-I didn't so don't look at me Gi

Alec-whats wrong kevin?

Kevin-that girl is pretty.

Kevin-that girl in that long skirt.

Alec-Kristy?hey don't even think about it.

Kevin-but that other girl is prettier

Alec-which one?

Kevin -the one with the tank top

Alec-you mean Vicki?

ALec-for get about her she has a bad additude.

Vicki was walking beside Gigi talking about nicholas when she noticed Alec and a guy trailing behind

Vicki-Where's benny?

Alec-Benny has to work overtime

Vicki-so you going to introduce me to your friend?

Alec-this is kevin

Alec-Kevin,Vicki

Vicki-hello Kevin,nice meeting you(holding out her hand)

Kevin-umm.....hi(shaking her hand)

Kevin was staring deeply at Vicki that he didn't notice he had really gripped onto her hand

Vicki tried to pull away but couldn't

Alec noticed what was happening and.........

Alec-Kevin

Alec-lets go first Vicki

Going in between them and pulling Vicki away

Kevin realized what just happened and caught up with Alec and Vicki

Kevin-(walking beside VIcki)Vicki,sorry back there.

Vicki-its okay Kevin

Vicki-now would you let go of my arm Alec?(looking at him)

Alec-sorry.

Vicki-hey you two still haven't told me why you were so behind

Vicki-ugg(excuse)i need to ask gigi something(running toward Gigi)

Vicki-hey gi,do you know when this long hall way is going to end?

Gigi-no idea.but your heels are really hurting me.

VIcki-you wanted to wear it.

Nicky-how come none of you wore skirts?(said jokingly)

Gigi and Vicki started chasing him

Ruby-hey,don't run in here.

Gigi-its not our fault ,Nicky started it.

Waiter-did you phone first??

Louis-yes,it should be under Koo.

Waiter-okay,please follow me.

They all followed them to a big round table.

The waiter gave them their menu and left.

Louis and them picked the food they wanted when the waiter came back and then they started to talk while waiting for the food

Every time Vicki looks into Kevin's direction he would be staring at her.

They were all talking happily when Vicki noticed something,or should I say someone.

The others where in a different conversation when vicki asked

Vicki-Gigi.

Gigi-yeah?

Vicki-what would you do if Nicholas was here?

Gigi-i don't know,why?

Vicki-Cause i just saw him at the other corner of the room

Gigi-where?(looking around)

Nicky-whats wrong

Vicki-oh nothing

Gigi turned to Shirley,whom was beside her

Gigi-hide me(whispering)

Shirley-why?

Kristy-don't worry gigi,you look fine

The person that was eating with nicholas had left leaving Nicholas there.

Vicki stood up from her seat and walked over to where nicholas's table was

Gigi-whats vicki doing?

The others all stared at where Vicki went

Ruby-she's just saying hi to Nicholas

Gigi-she's not going to invite him over right?I mean she better not.

Nicholas was about to pay for what he had,which was only coffee when someone called him

Vicki-Nic.

Nicholas looked up to see his cousin

Nicholas-hi Vicki(standing up)

Nicholas-what are you doing here?and why are you dressed up.

Vicki-im here with some friends.

Vicki-hey guys,mind if we have someone else join us?

Louis-Of course not

Vicki-okay.

Vicki and Ruby helped carry the boxes.

Vicki-awwww............this box is so heavy

Ruby-thats because it has books in them

Ruby-get another box,save that one for the guys to carry(going to the elevator)

Instead of picking another box,Vicki stuck with that one

she almost dropped it when Alec took it off her hands

Alec-get a lighter box if you can't carry this

Vicki-who said I couldn't(taking the box from ALec)

Alec-well you looked like you were about to faint

Vicki-I can take it(walking to the elevator)

Alec stared at Vicki as she left

Alec-suit yourself,I suggested to help you but.................

When The elevator had stopped down stairs Vicki bumped into Nicky.

Vicki-Nicky,do you mind helping me with this box,its really heavy.

Vicki-wheewwwwww.............good thing I saw nicky

Vicki went back up stairs

Vicki-Are there anymore big thing?

Alec-no,hey how did you get up so fast,Nicky's not even up yet.

Vicki-I don't know

Alec and Vicki carried the rest of the boxes into the elevator then took it down stairs where the others helped them.

Ruby-we lived in this apartment for so long

Vicki-I know,ever since we finished school

Ruby-well,now we have a new house

Kristy-big brother,i bet you won't stop eating

Alec-her cooking is better than Susan's(their cook at home)

Kristy-i hate to admit it but yeah.

Nicky-I can't wait until dinner then.

Kristy and ALec left Nicky and gigi in the living room and they went downstairs to help vicki and Shirley

~Meanwhile In the market~

Ruby-We need eggs

Louis-right here

Louis-so vicki's the best cook out of all of you

Ruby-yeah,but we don't get to taste her cooking that often cause she's always so busy.

Louis-Can't wait then

Ruby-you guys are lucky to get this meal

And on in the market they went looking for the things Vicki gave to them on their list

~The Girls New house~

Vicki was unpacking when a pair of keys dropped out of her pocket,thats when she remembered to go return the keys to the landlady and get

her car

Vicki-I need to go return these keys to the landlady

Kristy-Alec will take you(In Kristy's mind she still thought her brother and Vicki would be a great match)

Vicki-its okay,i'll take a taxi

Alec-its okay,I'll take you

Vicki-okay then

Vicki-see you guys later

In the car

Vicki-we better start writing the speech for the party.

Vicki-okay,lets not think about that for now,theres so much to do.

Alec-yeah

Vicki-I never knew you guys knew Ekin,he never told me either

Alec-he never told me he knew you guys either

Vicki-did you know he went to Taiwan?

Alec-how come you know more about him than me?

Alec-he didn't even tell me.

Vicki-he's going to be in a concert thats why.

Alec-whats the hold up?

Vicki-must be a traffic jam

Alec-i wonder what happened

Vicki-i don't know,but we have to wait for it to clear out

Alec turned on the radio,and the sound "Forever be mine" came on

Alec found out what happened when a person pasted by them and the guy told him all about it.

Vicki-what happened?(after the man left)

Alec-someone got shot.Heard to be a number one wanted person on the police record for many year.

Vicki-oh

Alec-Louis might know a bit about this,but he probably won't tell us cause cops have to keep everything about their job to them self

Vicki-the cars are moving faster,i think everything is over

Alec stopped the truck in front of the building

Vicki got off

Vicki-thanks,you can go back now

Alec-okay

Vicki-you know the way back right?

Alec-of course

Vicki-anyways the address is............

Alec-I don't need the address,i'll recognize the house.

Vicki-okay then,bye

And Alec drove off,first of all he went to return the truck to his friend and then he went to get his car and he then drove back to the house

Chapter 35

Gigi-no,they left about an hour and a half ago,and they're still not back

Louis-it can't take them that long

Ruby-did something happen to them?(turning to louis)

Louis-Im sure they're just fine

Shirley-they'll be fines,lets just finish unpacking,why don't you guys go set up your room

And thats what they did

BACK TO ALEC AND VICKI

Alec has been going around in circles.He was sure now that he was lost.He knew he should of asked for the address.now he didn't know where

he was going.He even left his cellular at the girls house.He went looking for a pay phone near by.

Vicki was driving back when she spotted a familiar car driving very slowly on the road.She caught up to it and she saw Alec.The two stopped

their car and Vicki got out and walked over to ALec

Vicki-why aren't you back yet?

Alec-I was just.............

Vicki-you got lost didn't you?

Alec-well............

Vicki-you should have listen to me when I told you the address.

Alec-okay,Im lost sooo..........

Vicki-okay ,follow my car

Vicki got back into her car and drove back to her new house with Alec trailing behind.

When they had reached there they parked their car in the front and went inside

Vicki-you remember the route now?

Alec-yeah,thanks.

Vicki-okay lets go inside

When Vicki and Alec go inside everything seem to be organize and finish

Ruby-(popping up from behind them)vicki,what took you guys so long

Vicki-we were just in a traffic jam.

Ruby-oh

Shirley-i told you they would be okay.

Gigi-yeah,nothing can ever happen to Vicki,she would always be able to get out of it.(**********this phrase might not be true,will Vicki be

able to get out of everything?**************)

Alec-how about me?

Kristy-you always end up fine too.

Vicki-Shir,mind helping me?

Shirley-sure

And they left for the kitchen

Ruby-we're going to go clean up,you guys just sit her and wait for dinner or watch tv.

Louis-we'll be fine

The others went upstairs leaving the guys in the living room

Alec-how did you guys get things organize so fast?

Nicky-i don't know

Louis-we even managed to connect the phone.

The guys sat there talking and watched tv

Alec went into the kitchen to get a cup of water.

Vicki-what are you doing in here?

Alec-I just wanted to get a cup of water.

Vicki-oh

Alec-you guys starting with dessert?

Shirley-yeah.

Alec-okay,can't wait.I'll go out now

later Nicky came in for a cup of water

Nicky-whats that smell?

Vicki-what smell

Nicky-Im starving already.your food smells delicious

Vicki-thanks

Shirley-you'll have to wait for later.im starving too,just by helping Vicki here

Vicki-nicky...........

Nicky-okay okay,im out(closing the door behind him)

Later on the Girls joined the boys in the living room

then an hour later Vicki and Shirley came in

Gigi-Dinner ready?

Vicki-not quite(still wearing her apron)

Gigi-what do you mean?

Shirley-we kind of burned something

Ruby-what?

Kristy-but vicki never burns things

Shirley-Our dinner is ruin.

Gigi-but......but.........

Vicki-gotcha(taking her apron off)

Ruby-you two............(pointing at them)(then going over and tickering them)

Vicki-Rub,(laughs)stop.(laughing)Get Shirley

Louis-you girls sure know how to have fun

Nicky-mind me joining in?

Gigi-All i want to know is ,is dinner ready?

Vicki-yes...........

Gigi started to run into the kitchen but vicki blocked her

Vicki-its not dinner time yet.

Gigi-what do you mean?

Vicki-we have an hour left till 6.

Gigi-but........

Ruby-Gigi calm down.

Vicki-i need to go do something in my room.(walking up the stairs)no samples Gigi!

Vicki went up to type out what she thinks should be in their speech for the party

When she came back down everyone was still seated in the living room

Vicki-anyone hungry?

Everyone turned around,they didn't even notice Vicki had come down

Chapter 36

Vicki-why don't you guys go into the dining room first then

Ruby-I'll help you Vic

Vicki-okay

So the others went into the dining room

~In the Kitchen~

Vicki-the cake is for dessert k?

Ruby-okay,so we carry out these?

Vicki-yup

Once they carried everything out everyone dug in

Nicky-i never knew you could cook like this

Vicki-thats because you never stayed for dinner

Alec-got to admit this is pretty good

Louis-your right Ruby,this is good

Vicki-thanks,but not with out the help of shirley

Gigi-I told you guys?

Shirley-Gigi,Don't talk with a mouth full like that.

Gigi-(swallowed her food)i can't help it,i love vic's cooking

After everyone finished Vicki and Ruby went into get the cake.

Ruby carried the cake while Vicki carried some plates and forks

Kristy-cake,yummy

Kristy-Is it Black Forest Cake?(black Forest Cake is a real cake name,im not sure if all of you have heard about it)

Vicki-yup

Louis-Black Forest?

Ruby-yeah,its Vicki's favorite cake

Louis-I never heard of it,It must be good then

Kristy-Its Alec's favorite too.

Vicki-really?

Alec-yeah,i loved it ever since a kid.

Vicki-well,this cooking of mines is not that good,let me just hope you don't choke on it

Gigi-Vicki me first

So Vicki cutted slices of cake for everybody and they all loved it.So thats their dinner for today.

They all settled back in the living room afterward when Vicki reminded them about the dishes.

Gigi-I don't want to.

Nicky-lets just pick two names out of a hat and those two will wash the dishes.

Vicki-okay,sounds fair

So thats what they did

Nicky-ready?

Nicky-(pulling one out of the hat)first name is..............

Nicky-...............so sorry Vicki,guess we have to bother you again.

Nicky-Okay second person is..............

Nicky-..............................Alec.

Alec-me?

Ruby-good luck you two.

And in they went to wash the dishes together

Vicki-i'll be washer,you be dryer

Alec-okay

Alec-you know,i don't get why they're making such a big deal out of this all.

Vicki-i don't know

Alec-by the way that was a great meal

Vicki-thanks

Alec-no wonder the girls go crazy over your cooking

Vicki-so you want to finish off the last slice of cake

Alec-sure

Vicki was about to bring it over to him when he turned around and the cake went all over his shirt

Vicki-ops(giggling)

Alec on seeing Vicki laughing,took some cake thats still on the plate and smugged it on Vicki's cheek

Vicki-hey.

Alec-we're even

But this started the food fight or should I say the cake fight

Vicki put some on Alec's face and he did the same

The others in the living room heard some noise so Kristy went into check.

When Kristy came in ALec and Vicki froze

Kristy-what happened to this place?

There was cake every where

Kristy-you two better clean this up,we just asked you two to wash the dishes not having a cake fight.

Vicki-your brother started it.

Alec-Me?

Kristy-just clean it up k?(kristy could not help but giggle to herself.)

Kristy turn and left and she told the others it was nothing

Alec-it wasn't my fault,you started it.

Vicki-lets just clean this up.(cake was everywhere on the ground)

Vicki was cleaning up when she almost slipped,but good thing Alec was there to catch her when she was about to land in the pond full of cake

Alec-Are you okay?(holding her by the waist)

Vicki-yeah

Their eyes met and were locked,the world seem to disappear they seem to be in their own land.

All of a sudden ALec came back into reality and lifted Vicki back up so she was on her feet

Vicki-thanks

Alec-its okay(feeling weird at what just happened)

Vicki-I'll go get the mop

After awhile of cleaning up and silence they finally got back to the dishes

Vicki-(trying to break the ice)you know if Kristy didn't come in i could have beat you in that fight

Alec-yeah right

Vicki-yes way

Alec-we'll just see next time

Vicki-yeah

They finish washing and drying the dishes then they were about to go out and join the others

Vicki-wait.

Alec-what?

Vicki-there's still some cake on you forehead.(she took a napkin and wiped the smug away)

Vicki-there

Alec-ugg.......thanks

And Out they went to join the others

When the guys left the girls sat their and really organized their house

~The Guys Apartment~

Nicky-Vicki's meal was delicious

Louis-yeah

Nicky-Alec,on that computer again?

Louis-yup

Louis-too bad Benny missed the meal.

Meanwhile in ALec's room

he hadn't spoken to Weiwei for a long time,he tried emailing her after that day at the cafe but he didn't get any replies

Suddenly Weiwei was on ICQ

tommy-Weiwei...

Weiwei-ugg.......hi Tommy

Tommy-ummm...I didn't see you on Sunday

Weiwei-sorry i couldn't make it

Tommy-maybe we can meet some other time

Weiwei-maybe.......

Tommy-whats wrong,your usually not like this

Well Vicki was sitting in her room talking to tommy,she really wanted to do something so Tommy doesn't ask to meet again.

Weiwei-well Tommy,Im moving

Tommy-moving?where?

Weiwei-Im going to be moving to..................

Weiwei-.........Canada

tommy-when?

Weiwei-...................................tomorrow

Tommy-but,we didn't even get to meet yet

Weiwei-Sorry Tommy

Weiwei-Last time i didn't mean to let you wait for me but i was busy

Tommy-oh,i see(feeling a little down)

Weiwei-Im really sorry,but maybe you can find someone better than me.............

tommy-but.............

Weiwei-Im sure you will....

Weiwei-we can still be friends right?

Tommy-.....yeah

Weiwei-sorry Tommy,i have to go do some last minute packing,bye

weiwei-We'll talk again when Im in Canada as FRIENDS

Tommy-okay ,bye

Weiwei-bye

For some reason Alec didn't like that word,"Friends".It ended so fast and now they're just FRIENDS

While VIcki she was really feeling bad for lying to Alec like that,she knew it wasn't right but she can't let Tommy keep thinking about Weiwei

like that,she had to get it over with.She didn't know how to face him tomorrow even though he doesn't know its her who had been talking to him

all this time over ICQ.

Vicki-so all we have to do,is get the people to set the things up for the party and we're done....

Alec-the speech...........i have been writing my part at lunch and.............................(Alec looked up at Vicki)

Vicki's attention was on the television set

Alec turned to the television to see what was wrong.

News reporter-Mr.Ekin Cheung had planned to go back to Hong Kong early with no one knowing about this.He arrived at hong Kong

international airport this morning when he was crossing a street,a car came strucking his way,and soon Mr.cheung,The actor and famous

singer,was sent to a near by hospital and now is still in the emergency room.

Alec-What?(standing up from his seat)

Vicki just sat there frozen to the chair,with tears coming to her eyes.

Alec-lets go to the hospital................(about to head to the door)

Alec-(turning back)Vicki?...............are you coming?

Alec-Vicki?(walking over to her)

Alec-(he could see the tears coming out of her eyes)he pulled her by the hand and off the two were to the hospital.

Gigi-(standing up)Whats wrong ALec?Where are you two going?Vicki,are you okay?

Vicki-Gi.....................(swallowing)...........(trying to tell Gigi what had happened).......Ekin,he..................

Gigi-Ekin?What happened?

Alec-.............(finishing off for Vicki)He was in an accident?

Gigi-what?

Alec-we're heading to the hospital right now,you want to come

Gigi-of course.(she grabbed her things and the three left.)

When they got to the hospital,outside the hospital were a much of reporters.

The three tried to get through the crowd.

A reporter-hey isn't that Alec Su and Vicki zhao?(a reporter shouted)

ALec and the two rushing into the doors of the hospital

At the counter.

ALec-may we ask,what room Ekin Cheung is in?

Nurse-And what are you people of his?

Alec-we're his good friends.

Nurse-Im sorry but,we can only let ....................

Vicki-Im his girlfriend......

Alec and Gigi both turned to Vicki

Nurse-okay,he's still in the emergency room on level

Vicki-thank you

Gigi-(walking beside Vicki)vicki?You sure?

Vicki-yes,Gi,I thought it over and Im going to tell him.

Gigi-okay then...

Alec-come on hurry up(walking in front of them)

When they got there.Ekin's mother was there

Gigi-Mrs.Cheung?Is he still in there?

All Mrs.cheung can do is sob even harder.

Vicki took a seat beside her and started to comfort her.

Alec sat there staring at the red emergency sign

Gigi went to call the girls.And it eventually got to the guys too.

Soon everyone was there.Nicky,Alec,Louis,Benny,Viviane,Vicki,Shirley,Ruby,

Kristy,Shirley and Gigi.

Ruby-how could this happen?

Louis-im sure he'll be fine,he has too.......!!!!

Vicki was the first one to stand up when the red lights

were off.And everyone else were behind her

Vicki-doctor,how is he?

Doctor-who is his family members?

Mrs.Cheung-Im his mother(still in tears)

Doctor-he is still unconscious.We have tried the best we could.........................

Mrs.Cheung then just fainted

Ruby-Mrs.Cheung............!

Soon she was taken to a room.

And the doctor continued on.

Doctor-like I said,we have tried our best,and this only

counts on his will to live,So I think people that are

really close to him should talk to him

and try to get him to wake up.If we see no signs of him

waking up in 24 hours then he might have to be like this

for the rest of his life......

Vicki had fallen onto a chair.And ruby was beside her.

Alec-could we see him?

doctor-One at a time only please......(and he left)

Ruby-Vic,he'll be fine.

Chapter 39

They were all standing outside the room Ekin was sent to,looking at him through the window
Benny-How could this happen?I thought he won't be back until a couple more days.
Vicki has gone in to see Ekin first
Louis-why did Ekin come back so early?
Gigi-ummm...........
Nicky-(looking up)Whats wrong Gigi?

There was silence for awhile then Vicki spoke again
She talked to him for quite awhile.......then she stopped then started again
She had laid her head on the white bed,and then she lifted it up.......
Vicki-Ekin..........why did you come back so early........?
Vicki-........is it because of me?
But there was silence,Vicki knew it must have been................Inside herself,what had happened to Ekin,she had blamed herself for it,she thought it was her thats why ekin came back early........
Vicki-........If it wasn't for me then this wouldn't have happened to you............(a tear ran down her pale white cheek and landing on Ekins hand)
Vicki-(wipeing the remaining of the tear drop from her eyes)...........Ekin you have to...............(The door was burst open)
Alec-can i speak to Ekin for a moment?
Vicki turned around to see Alec
Vicki-yeah.........(standing up from the chair)

Vicki-no no,he's not gone...........he's still with us...........he's just in a coma
Mrs.Cheung-you mean he's not gone?(finally getting back up onto her feet)
Vicki nodded
Vicki-the doctor said it would be best if we talk to him..........try to get him to wake up...........and if he doesn't within 24 hours then...............
Mrs.Cheung-then?
Vicki-he might be like this forever...but we still have a chance............Mrs.Cheung,you should try talking to him...
Mrs.Cheung-which room is he in?

Chapter 40

Vicki took Mrs.Cheung to Ekin's room then left her to talk to her son,while she went downstairs to join the others in the caf.

The Day pasted by,Vicki and Ruby had finally got Mrs.Cheung to go get some rest,the others were sitting in the room of Ekin's, watching for any sudden changes.Viviane had gone back home........
Vicki and Ruby walked back in.............
Shirley-she's finally asleep?
Ruby-yup....So is there any changes?

Ruby was concerned for Vicki,Louis knew how Ruby was feeling too........
Ruby and Louis returned to their little spot in the corner
Vicki-im going to go check on Mrs.Cheung k?(standing up)
Ruby-okay.
Once Vicki left the room
Ruby-im a little worried about Vicki........
Louis-I know how you feel..........out of all of us,she seems to be the person worried for Ekin the most besides his mother.
Ruby-i think she thinks the reason Ekin is here,is because of her.
Louis-why would she think that?
Ruby-before Ekin went to the concert he was attending.......he had asked Vicki to become his girlfriend.....
Louis-really?(looking at Ruby surprisingly)
Ruby just nodded her head.
Louis-and he didn't tell us.......
Louis-Ekin......you better get up.........you can't lay there forever,Vicki's waiting for you,you have lots to accomplish..
Ruby-Ekin you will wake up right.........you have friends here thats waiting for you too,you can't put our hopes down.its like you leaving a mark in our life,then walking away like nothing had happen,you have to get up.
Vicki walked in.
Ruby-how's Mrs.Cheung?
Vicki-she's still asleep.
Vicki walked back over to her seat.
Ruby rested her head on Louis's shoulder.....and awhile later she fell asleep......
But Louis and Vicki soon did too,on their chair..
At 5:36 AM
Ruby had woken up...She lifted her head from Louis's shoulder,trying not to wake him up from his peaceful sleep.But he did wake up..
Ruby-sorry,why don't you back to sleep.
Louis-(yawn)I was already awake.
Ruby-you sure?(smiling at him)
Louis nodded.
Ruby-(looking at ekin then she noticed Vicki wasn't there)Where's Vic?
Louis-huh?.......maybe she went down to get something to eat.
Ruby-yes maybe....I think im going to go check.
Louis-I'll go with you.
Ruby-okay
And hand in hand they went to find Vicki.And Louis was right,vicki was in the caf,she was sitting there stirring a cup of coffee.
Ruby-vicki....
Vicki turned around to see her friend
Vicki-hi(smiling)
Ruby-you scared me....i thought something had happen.
Vicki-im fine,just wanted to come down here to think and get a cup of coffee.
Ruby-how long have you been down here?(Louis and ruby took a seat)
Vicki-i just came down....(lying,she didn't want Ruby to worry more about her)
Ruby-(putting her hand on Vicki's cup of coffee)how come this coffee is not even hot.....it seems cold.
Vicki-im fine Rub...no need to worry..
Louis-did you get anything to eat yet?
Vicki-I still don't feel like eating yet.

Vicki-you said it tasted delicious...well if you wake up,ill make you it again...you know how hard it is for people to make me cook right?i guess im to lazy....(putting on a smile)
Vicki-hmmm.....remember the time in high school,me ruby and you ,we used to do everything together.And i want that to last....(smiling)i still remember the time when i asked you what kind of girl you would like to marry.you said a girl with long straight hair,caring,gentle,smart and has a sense of humor.
Vicki-.....but im not that type of girl....why did you ask me?im not smart,im not gentle all the time,my jokes aren't even funny.........and i don't have long hair.Ekin,you deserve better than me but.....I
Vicki sat there and talked to Ekin about their past together.
Vicki-Ekin....you have just got to wake up........we need you........i....(trying to get the words out)........need you......please,wake up....(starting to sob) you promised me to take me to a special place remember?you haven't fulfilled your promises yet...you can't leave.ekin.......please,wake up........do it for me..........Ekin.......................i've thought it over.....if you can manage to get through this,then..........i will become your girlfriend.....you do want that don't you?Ekin.......please,wake up.........she laid her head on the edge of the bed once again and started to sob.......but then something caught her eye.She lift her head up.Ekin's hand was moving....Vicki wiped the tears away from her eyes.....is this really happening she said to herself?he's waking up.......
Ruby came in with Louis
Ruby-Vic,we need to tal..........(Vicki had turned around and Ruby noticed the smile on her face)
Louis-Vic,whats wrong......
Vicki-Ekin......he just ........moved......

Vicki-Im positive...I saw it his hand move.

Vicki-See,i told you.(Vicki brought his hand into her two hands)

Vicki-Ekin......your awake...

~Ekin's Room~

Ruby-Doctor(seeing the doctor come in)He just woke up...

Doctor-okay,let me check....

Nurse-would you wait outside please.

The three went outside to wait.

Awhile later

The Doctor and the Nurse opened the door

Vicki-Is he going to be okay?

Doctor-(standing up straight)yes,this man is very lucky...

Doctor-He just needs to stay in the hospital for awhile to see if he's okay and to wait for his arm to be better then he's free to

go...and he'll just have to come back and take the cast off another time......he seems pretty healthy now,his heart beat is back to

normal rate,he'll be fine in no time

Vicki-(bright smile)Thank you Doctor.....

Ruby-Can we go in to see him?

Doctor-yes,but make sure he gets his rest...

Louis-Thank you doctor(the Doctor headed down the hall way)

~Inside the Ekin's Room~

Vicki ran over to the bed and held onto Ekin's hand once again.

Vicki-Ekin......

Louis-Hey pal,how are you doing?

Ruby-We're so glad you woke up...

Ekin-im fine,just that I don't like this cast....

Vicki-im soo glad your okay....(a tear coming to her eye)

Ruby-I'll go tell Mrs.Cheung the good news.

Louis-I'll go with you....(following Ruby,cause he wanted to give Ekin and Vicki some privacy)

Ekin-........Vicki.........(trying to sit up)

Vicki helped Ekin up,she set the pillow upwards so his head was resting on it

Ekin-...Vicki,you okay?you look kind of pale....

Vicki-Im fine...(touching her cheek)

Ekin-.......When I was still unconscious,I heard you talking to me and the others talking to me too....

Ekin-and.....you said that if I wake up then you would .......

Vicki-....I........

Ekin-Yeah,what took you two so long?(looking at Alec and shirley)

Alec-hey we were talking about you two.

Shirley didn't say anything

Vicki-is it(Shirley came out and walked over to the sink)........Alec?

Shirley-(once again turned red)

Vicki-i guess it is huh?

Vicki-maybe I can help you out on that one...........(thinking that she would be doing a good thing if she paired Shirley up,its
good for shirley cause shirley likes him and for Alec,she thinks he should get with someone to take his mind off WeiWei)

Shirley-Vic,Don't, just let it go natural.What if he doesn't like me.

Vicki-okay then.But when you need help,tell me.

Shirley-hey,(heading back to Ekin's room)didn't you use to hate him?

Vicki-well..........i found out he's a pretty nice guy.....once in awhile like when he doesn't bug me.

Vicki-then go with that one.

Gigi-but that one is nice too.This one just seems so.....

Vicki-gigi,we don't have all the time..........

Gigi-okay,I 'll go with that one......

Gigi-Vicki,you have to find some way to cover those big round rings under your eyes.

Vicki-I know,let me just go pick out a dress first.

Gigi-okay

And Vicki went back to her room

Gigi wore a light blue tube dress that was very long.....After she finished putting it on,she went to see how Vicki was doing..

Vicki was way ahead of her,she was already applying on make up..

Gigi-your faster than me.....

Vicki-because we only have 45 minutes left.

Gigi-Vic,you look beautiful in that dress.

Vicki was wearing a white spaghetti strap dress which was also long with a big scarf wrapped on her arms.

Vicki-(stopped applying make up and turned to Gigi)Gi,do you still see the rings?

Gigi-nope,its gone...

Vicki-good...(turning back to the mirror)

Gigi sat beside Vicki and started applying make up too...

Vicki-(finished)now my hair.....how should I put it?

Once VIcki was done,so was Gigi......

Gigi-We have half an hour.......

VIcki-yup(going through her closet looking for a pair of heels that matched her dress)

20 minutes later they have both arrived at the party......

Gigi-see,i told you not to worry,we still have 10 minutes left.

Vicki-sorry,guess,Im a little stressed out today.

Gigi-its okay........see no one arrived yet.....

Vicki went over to Karen

Vicki-Karen,is everything ready?

Karen-yes,Mr.Su and Mr.Wu just arrived too.

Gigi-nice meeting you too.

Vicki-where's my speech?

Gigi-calm down its in your purse..

Vicki-I need to memorize it....

Vicki-I hope so......

Right then they spotted Nicky and Alec coming back in from outside.

Nicky-hello girls,whoa, you two look lovely today.

Vicki-why thank you Mr.Wu.

Gigi-yes, thanks for you compliment Mr.Wu.

Nicky-your welcome Ms.zhao and Ms.Fu.

Vicki-never expect to see you in a tuxedo, ALec

Alec-me too.

Gigi-well,you two are sure getting along well.

Alec-yes we are.(smiling at Vicki while Vicki smiled back)

Nicky-anyways I was just telling ALec on what a good job you and him have done to this place.

Vicki-really?

Man-Really, what?

They all turned to the direction of the main entrance.

Vicki-hi dad,Mr.Su,Mr.Yip....

They all greeted each other and introduced Mr.Yip to them.

Mr.Su-you kids did a great job.......

Alec-thank you dad.

Vicki-thank you Mr.Su(same time as Alec)

As the party began........Alec and Vicki said there speech and Mr.Su and Mr.Zhao putted in a little of their own sentences to the guests

Then the rest of the night was theirs.

Vicki walked over to Gigi once she finished a dance with a guy.

Vicki-Gigi,my dad just told me that nicholas is here,did you see him?

Gigi-Nicholas?here?

Gigi-why didn't you tell me earlier,I could have dressed up more.

Nicholas-I didn't know either,uncle just told me to come at the last moment

Vicki-oh....So dance with any girls yet?

Nicholas-nah,just met some new people....

Vicki-really,Gigi hasn't danced with anyone either.....

Vicki-why don't you and gigi dance......(giving him a pleasing look)

Nicholas-(on seeing the look on Vicki's face)okay......

Nicholas-Ms.Fu,would you like to accompany me in this dance?(holding out his hand)

Gigi-sure(taking his hand)

VIcki-finally......

Vicki turned around to see Alec

Vicki-hey Alec....

Alec-what are you so happy about?

Vicki-(smiling)I just help pair a couple to be.

Alec-So who are these to unlucky people?(smiling too)

Vicki hit him on the arm.....

Vicki-hey...........they just happen to be my cousin and Gigi

Alec-who's your cousin?

Vicki-Nicholas!

Alec-he's your cousin?

Vicki-yeah,who did you think he was?

Alec-nothing.

Alec-so did some match making huh?Do you think it'll work?(staring at the dancing couple)

Vicki-it has too.

A man approached Vicki and Alec

Man-hello,my name is tony.....you two gave a wonderful speech up there.

Vicki-hi tony

Tony-I was just wondering if Mr.Zhao can accompany me in this next song......

Vicki-ummm.........sorry but I promised Mr.Su,I would accompany him in the next song..

Tony-I see.Nice meeting you.....(he walked away)

Alec-what?

Vicki-sorry,but i ........well............please,help me this time...I'll treat you to dinner........(turned around an noticed the Tony was still staring at them)

Vicki-come on Alec,he's still staring

Alec glanced Tony's way and noticed she was right.

Vicki-please?

Alec-okay fine(extending his hand)

Vicki-thank you so much...(taking his hand)

And they walked onto the dance floor......

Chapter 45

The song "Will you be mines"was on"(I made that up)

And they started to dance

Alec-you owe me one

Vicki-I know I know.

Alec-Let me think about what I want in return.

Alec-hmm.......

Vicki-Is Tony still staring our way?(she asked Alec since he was facing TOny's way)

Alec-(lied)yup

Vicki-okay.....

There was silence upon them again

Alec-Vicki,you look lovely today.

Vicki-thank you,why didn't you say that earlier?

Alec-I don't know.

Vicki turned to look Gigi's way.

Vicki-do you think my plan will work?

Alec turned to where Vicki was staring.

Alec-looks like their enjoying it.

They both turned back to face each other again......For a moment their glance were locked.Then vicki looked away.

Alec-you know its weird how we keep on hearing this song.

Vicki-yeah,last time when you gave me a lift,it was on too.

Alec-yea...

Another moment of awkward silence began...

Alec-Vicki...!

Just then song ended

Vicki-yeah?

Alec-wel.......

Just then Nicholas came over.

Nicholas-Alec,may I borrow Vicki for a moment?

Alec-sure...

Alec-I'll ask you later.

Vicki-okay.

Now Vicki was dancing with nicholas,at lease that didn't give Tony another chance to approach her.

Nicholas-Vicki,why did you ask me to dance with Gigi?

Vicki-well Gigi didn't dance with anyone yet today,so thats
why i asked you....

Nicholas-I have a feeling thats not why.....

Vicki-ummm.........

Nicholas-Vic,just tell me the truth,Im your cousin i know you very well.

Vicki-okay,I'll tell you......

Nicholas-yes?

Vicki-well...Gi kind of ...........has ......

Nicholas-has what?

Vicki-she really likes you.......

Nicholas-what?(shocked)(he turns to look at Gigi standing near ALec and Gigi was staring at him,but when she noticed his glance she turned away)

Vicki-Don't you think she's a nice girl.She would be perfect as a girlfriend.

Nicholas-I know she's very nice and sweet.But I.........

Vicki-just give her a chance,you'll like her

Nicholas-I treat her like a friend only though..........

Vicki-come on Nic,you two would make a great match...

Nicholas-I don't know....

The song ended and they walked over towards the others.

Vicki-hey guys

Nicky-hey.

Vicki-so how many girls did you dance with today Nicky?

Gigi-to much to count right?

Nicky-yeah....

Vicki-(turned to ALec)alec,what did you want to ask me?

Alec-huh?oh I forgot.

Gigi-Nicholas,why are you so quiet?

Nicholas-huh?oh nothing........

Nicholas-ummm.......Im going to go talk to Uncle....

Nicky-what happen to Nicholas?

Vicki-he's just thinking about something.

Gigi-oh(staring at Nicholas's walking back)

The night ended so soon and soon it was pretty late.

THE NEXT DAY

~The ICAC station~

Madame-For some reason Kenny Chu has been very quiet these last few days.

Kelly-could it be he went somewhere else.

Louis-maybe but if he does,we should know.....

Viviane-then why hasn't he mad any moves?

Viviane-Could it be he is going to do something big this
time?

Madame-could be,but we're not sure yet.....

Kevin-so what do we do at the moment?

Madame-pay close attention..............

Later

Everyone left the meeting room.

Viviane-this is going to be a hard case.

Louis-i know.

Kevin-I wonder what his next move is going to be.

Louis-if we don't finish this case soon then Im stuck in
this office forever.

Kelly-of course,you get a chance to be leader of group
C,why miss it.

Viviane-anyone want to go for lunch?

They left.

AT the Zhao's MANSION THAT NIGHT

Mr.Yip-All we have to do is make the arrangements and pass the invitation and the wedding can begin.

Vicki-when did they say the picture is going to be done.

Alan-they said half a week

Mrs.Zhao-So fast,now Eileen is getting married,Vicki has
got another boyfriend and Steven.....

Eileen-Steve,you have got to do some thing.

May-dinner is ready.

Mr.Zhao-why don't we go eat dinner first.

Once they finished.

Everyone continued to chat in the living room while Vicki
was in the kitchen

May-Vicki,what are you doing in here?

Vicki-hi May,I just wanted to cook something.

May-what do you want I'll cook it for you........

Vicki-its okay May,Im making it for a friend...

May-you sure?

Vicki-yes.

May-well I'll go out now,if you need any help call me.

Vicki-okay thanks May

AT THE HOSPITAL

Ekin-this is really boring.....I think I'll go take a walk

Once he was outside,after walking for 5 minutes,he heard
screams.

He turned around to see fans charging over toward him with
flowers and other stuff.

Ekin ran into the nearest doors of the hospital
he headed back into his room,only to smell a delicious smell.

Ekin-Vicki?

Vicki was no where to be seen but there was a dish of his favorite of the table.He was just about to go over and taste one when..........

Vicki-hey!

Ekin-(jumped and turned around)Vicki,you scared me.

Vicki-(smiling)Ekin I made your favorite dish for you.

Ekin-(Walking over to Vicki and looking at the food)I
thought you said not until i get better?

Vicki-well,I guessed you were bored to death so I brought you this.

Ekin-you are so sweet.

That Night Vicki sat on the chair and talked to Ekin all night long until they both realized it was morning,Vicki left for work.

Half a month passed by so soon.By that time everyone got to know each other.It was the day before the wedding.
Everyone was gathered in the girls house even

Mrs.Zhao,Mrs.Yip and Mrs.Su.Of course only the womens

Mrs.Zhao(combing Eileen's hair)one comb for.................(sorry can't remember all of them)

Once they were all finish.

Mr.Yip-Eileen,you better sleep early,you don't want to look bad on your wedding day.

Mrs.Su-we're going to go now.....

Mrs.Zhao-now,I want you girls to take care of Eileen for me.......

They left

Vicki-its so exciting,your finally getting married.

Eileen-I hope you do too soon.

During this time,Ekin had got out from the hospital,he was all well again.His relationship with Vicki grew,they got closer and closer each and every day.Even now the world knew Vicki was Ekin's girlfriend.They were on the cover of magazines for quite awhile.But also during time Alec and vicki got even more close then before.They told secrets to each other,but still one secret was not revealed.About WeiWei.Alec has been so close to Vicki that inside of him every time he met her,he had a special and exciting feeling.Something he never felt before.And still does not know what it is.For Shirley and Alec,they relationship got closer also.They spent more time together and found out they had lots in common.Shirley thinks that Alec is the one she has been waiting for,while ALec doesn't know anything and just treats her as a friend.But is he really the One?
While Louis and Ruby,of course their relationship got deeper,nothing could break them apart.And as for Gigi and Nicholas,it was still the same,nicholas even though gave her a chance,he still thought she was not the one for him.So much can happen in just half a month.

Kristy-And Ruby too.(gigging)

Shirley-why don't we go to sleep now,we do want our beauty
sleep,we don't want to look horrible for the wedding tomorrow.

Eileen was going to sleep in the Guest room.just when everyone was about to go to bed,the phone rang

Kristy-hello?

Ekin-hi Kristy............

Kristy-no you guys can not speak to Eileen

Ekin-actually the guys are asleep.....

Kristy-they got all drunk right?

Ekin-yeah you can say that.

Kristy-I knew it.

Kristy-You probably don't want to speak to me,its vicki
right?

Kristy-hold on

Ekin-thanks....

Shirley-for vicki?

Gigi-and I thought the guys were up to something its only for Vicki and her boyfriend.

Vicki-stop making fun of me....

Eileen-okay,why don't we go to sleep.

They all left vicki sitting there talking to Ekin.

Once their conversation ended which wasn't for awhile they both fell asleep by the sofa.

Chapter 46

THE NEXT MORNING

Alec had just opened his eyes slowly and seeing the morning sunlight come through the window when he realized what day it was.

Mrs.Zhao-(coming down stairs)Vicki,just let them in,i think you girls got all you want.

Gigi-you guys are lucky today(opening the door for them to come in)

Once they picked up Eileen they drove to the Church......Steven,Jimmy and the others were already there.

In THE ROOM

where Eileen sat waiting for her turn to go out .

Mrs.Zhao-I can't believe you are finally marrying off...(tears coming to her eyes.)

Eileen-mom......

Vicki-mom,don't cry, your going to make Eileen want to cry to and that will ruin her make up.

Mrs.Zhao-okay.Im fine(wiping the tears away)

Shirley suddenly came in.

Shirley-its about to start..

Mrs.Zhao-I'll head out first then..

Mrs.Zhao and Shirley headed out leaving the two sisters there alone.

Eileen-Vicki(grabbing hold of her hand)Im so nervous.

Vicki-its okay,feel happy,your about to get marry to Alan here.

Eileen-your right.

Nicholas and Mr.Zhao walked in.......

Nicholas-vicki,the flower girls just started,come on we better go too.

Mr.Zhao and Eileen stood there and waited.

Vicki and Nicholas walked arm in arm down the aisle then they stood at their places while the bride started walking.

Vicki felt so happy for her sister.......mrs.Zhao was now starting to have tears in her eyes again.

Once Eileen reached where she was suppose to be the priest started to speak..........And do you Alan Yip take Eileen Zhao to be your lawful
wedded wife,to sickness to health..............

Alan-I Do.

Another time with that line....

Eileen-......I do!

Priest-You may kiss the bride.

Once they were all most out of the church doors.Eileen turned around....

The girls gathered at the bottom of the stairs ready to catch the bouquet of flowers.

Vicki and Shirley stood to the side,they did not want to join in.

Once the bouquet of flowers was thrown,it landed onto fingertips, then bounce off the other........that kept happening then the bouquet went
really high and down it came..............right into the hands of VICKI ZHAO..................

Vicki looked down stunned

She never predicted the flowers to land onto her hands.

But she look up when she heard claps.

Eileen-Vicki,I'll be waiting.

Ruby-you caught it Vicki

Vicki-I didn't catch it,It just .........

Shirley-we know,but you still have it.......

Nicholas-(teasing him)hey,got the ring yet?

Ekin didn't say anything.

Alec didn't really feel that happy at this moment anymore.He was before but for some reason he didn't know...

Nicky-hey,don't forget my invitation.

Alan-(yelling)okay lets get on with the party.

Eileen-yes,we have to take some pictures since today is such a beautiful one....................

Chapter 47

Alan-(standing in front of a mic)I would like to thank everyone for coming to my wedding and Eileen's................and...........(thanking ppl)........and lastly I would like to thank the girls for giving me such a hard time this morning.

Vicki-your welcome(she shouted)

Afterwards some people sat and ate and some went to dance.

Louis and Ruby were second to go on the dance floor after the bride and groom.

Nicky and Jimmy had already asked a girl to dance already

Vicki-Nicholas,why don't you and Gigi go dance?

Nicholas-ummm...........Gigi,would you like to dance?

Gigi-sure.

Kristy-where did Ekin go Vicki?

Vicki-He said he needed to make a call.

Steven-Kristy,would you accompany me in this dance?(holding out his hand)

Kristy-sure(taking his hand and on to the dance floor they went)

Benny-how about you Shirley?

Shirley-well okay......

Alec-guess that leaves you and me.

Vicki-so?

Alec-(holding out his hand)Would you like to dance Miss?

Vicki-certainly.

Once they reached the dance floor Vicki put her arms around Alec neck while he put his hands on her waist.

Alec,still now couldn't figure out what the feeling inside of him was,when he was near VIcki.

Alec-you look lovely today Vicki.

Vicki-why thank you.Of course Im the brides maid.

The both let out a laugh

Vicki-so how are you doing?

Alec-what do you mean how am i doing?You see me almost every day,even when we finished the mall.

Vicki-i guess your right then.

Vicki-let me rephrase it.how are you and Shirley doing?

Alec-what do you mean?

Vicki-you two seem to be very close.

Alec-I treat her like a sister.

Vicki-your kidding right?

Alec-Enough about me.....(he didn't want to ask this)how are you and Ekin doing?

Vicki-fine.if our relationship never got this close I would have never found out so much about him.

Alec-So thats a good thing.

Vicki-um.......still thinking about Weiwei?

Alec-Weiwei?Oh her.We still talk sometimes.She has a boyfriend now,Im quite happy for her.

Vicki-oh.(she then noticed Ekin had came back and he was watching them.She gave him a big smile then turned back to Alec)

Alec-So,when are the invitations coming out?

Vicki-what invitation ?

Alec-the one of your wedding and Ekin's.

Vicki-We....

Alec-you did catch the bouquet didn't you?

Vicki-your picking on me once again.Aren't you suppose to be a good friend?To me your like another version on Ruby.I told you my secrets
too.

Alec-I know,but the difference is,Im not Ruby.

They stared over at Ruby then saw Shirley staring at them.

Just then the song ended and they parted.

Ekin came up and Vicki and him started dancing but before that Vicki pulled Shirley and Alec together so they could dance then she got back to her self.

Vicki-so what happened?

Ekin-oh,they just asked me when Im going to be going to Taiwan.

Vicki-oh.

Ekin-so what were you and Alec talking about?

Vicki-i was just asking him how he and Shirley was going.

Ekin-Alec and shirley?

Vicki-yeah.Don't you think their a good match.

Ekin-kind of.

Vicki-what do you mean kind of...

Gigi and nicholas decided to dance another song.

Nicholas decided to tell gigi.

Nicholas-Gigi.....

Gigi-yes Nicholas?

Gigi-oh nicholas,I want to tell you,I had fun the last few weeks.

Nicholas-me too.

Gigi-what did you want to say?

Nicholas-uh....

Gigi-yes?

Nicholas-(taking a deep breath)gigi,I know you like me........

Gigi couldn't say anything but look down and blush.

Nicholas-And I would like to tell you that I would like to........

Gigi-(praying that he would say that he would like to be her boyfriend)

Nicholas-I decided,its better if we.........

Gigi looked up,waiting for him to finish

Nicholas-.......be friends?

Gigi-what?

Nicholas-i think its better if we stay friends

Gigi-friends?

All nicholas do was nod then look away cause he couldn't stand staring at the hurt eyes in front of him

Nicholas-Im sorry,trust me,i tried giving us a chance but we just can't.

Nicholas-can we stay friends?(finally looking back at her)

Gigi-(took a deep breath)sorry.i think Im going to go out for some fresh air.(walking away off the dance floor)

Nicholas-gigi(calling after her)

Vicki and Ekin turned around and stopped dancing to see what had happened

Vicki-what happened Nic?

Nicholas-i told her.

Ekin-told her what?

Nichols-that I just wanted to be friends?

Vicki-what?

Ekin-is she okay?

Vicki-I'll go check on her(going outside)

Once vicki was outside she found Gigi standing beside a big fountain throwing pennies inside.

Vicki-Gi.

Gigi stood still.

Vicki-gi,i know,nic told us

Vicki-im sorry.

Gigi-(turned around)its not your fault

Vicki-you really liked him didn't you?

Gigi nodded

Gigi-i thought we were actually getting somewhere these last few weeks but......

Vicki-Im sorry,i know.

Gigi-okay im fine(wiping the tears that were coming to her eyes away)

Vicki-you sure?

Gigi -yea.

Vicki-don't worry,Im sure you can find someone better than my cousin.

Gicki-When i get home,im going to teach him a lesson

Gigi-Vic,you live with us now

Vicki-oh yeah.

They both laughed.

Vicki-thats more like it,don't cry for him,save it for someone else.

Gigi-but i really liked him.

Vicki-okay,forget about him,today's Eileen's wedding day,smile,don't let her see you down.

Gigi-your right(putting on a smile)

Vicki-want to join me inside?

Gigi-sure.

And inside they went.

After the party,Eileen and Alan set off to their honey moon in Paris.The city of Romance.

THE NEXT DAY

Vicki and Alec were once again called to Mr.Su's office.

Mr.Su-vicki,Alec,me and Mr.Zhao have been thinking and we are pairing you two up for another assignment.But it won't be for awhile.

Vicki-again?

Alec-father,i can't stand it with her,anyone but her(said sarcastically)

Vicki-Like i can stand you two.

Mr.Zhao-stop acting,Im sure you two will enjoy it,here are the files(handing it to them)

Vicki-dad,can't Steven take my place?

Mr.Zhao-Steven is leaving for Singapore tomorrow for an assignment of his own,he won't be back for a month.

Alec-looks like we're stuck together again.

Vicki-(sigh)guess your right.

Mr.Su-you two don't have to start this until 2 weeks,so right now you can finish up anything else you have to do,cause this assignment this
time is even bigger than the one before.

Mr.Zhao-yes,its needs lots of time,and you two during this assignment also have to fly to the Us for a while.

Vicki-really?

Mr.Zhao-As on an assignment,not for fun.

Vicki-I know dad.

Alec laughed at Vicki's silliness.

Vicki-hey,why are you laughing?

Alec-nothing

Mr.Su-you two seem like you knew each other for ever.

Vicki-thats because he keeps coming to our house as an excuse to see Shirley.

Mr.Su-Shirley?you and her........

Alec-dad don't get it wrong.She's just joking.

Mr.Zhao-You two would actually make a good couple.

Vicki-yeah right(saying quietly)

but Alec heard this too.

Alec-I rather,jump in a pool of hot boiling water.

Mr.su-if thats all,we won't disturb you two,you can get back to your work.

Alec and Vicki left.

Alec-you almost got me in trouble back there.

Vicki-really?

Alec-Vic,stop fooling around.
