Chapter 9 - I whistled and you came running... (2/2)
”I don't know what i like, he's been nice and he makes me smile and angry at the same time. He is a stranger still.”
”Uh uh, so you like him”
”No!”
”Yes.”
”No!”
”No.”
”Yes. I mean no! Gosh, will you stop. I don't know what I like.”
”Well I do. I know what you love. You love country music and some other weird kind of music and rice, chicken, and hope that someday you would find a love that feels like summer and just recently a dangerously, ruggedly handsome Asian guy who I'm sure you like joined the list but as usual you are in denial.”
”I'm not in denial.”
”Honey, that wasn't a question.” she drew close to her best friend then. ”You know love always breaks boundaries, always!”
”I know. But I'm not in love yet!”
”Now we are getting somewhere”
”What?”
”You said, not in love 'yet', that means you want to be in love and the universe has heard that, so get ready!”
”So you think I'm going to fall for Su Yan?”
”That's his name? Well it sure sounds good for a wedding hash tag” Precious replied gesturing with her hands. Tale laughed loud.
”Someone else deserves to know the real you too, not just me! coz girl let me tell you now, I am straight as a ruler and forever will be!”
”Gosh, how did we become friends again?” tale asked
”You came crawling”
”Don't kid yourself, I whistled and you came running” and they both laughed.
Knock knock*
It was 7.48pm. Who could that be?
”Aren't you going to go answer?”
”I know nobody.”
”Fine, I'd answer it.”
”No.” Tale said as she rose up to go answer it.
Su Yan had heard enough to make him smile, and from a secret place in his heart he felt happiness. He was going to turn but he missed that face and he had good news that he had wanted to share with her.
So he knocked.
”Su Yan!” he came as he pleased didn't he! She blinked then turned back to look at her best friend then back at the devil at the door.
”Hello, I was around the neighborhood and felt like i should stop over.”
”That's a lie!” she stated.
He nodded in agreement.
”Should I leave?”
”No!” Precious yelled from behind! ”Tale don't be rude, let the man in.” she continued as she walked to the door and held it open for him to walk in.
Where were true friends when you need them? Tale thought.
”Oh thank you.” Su Yan replied as he stepped in, filling her house, again.
”I'm Precious, Tales best friend and only friend because she's too lazy to go out and meet another.”
He smiled as he extended his hands to her for a shake ”I'm Su Yan, probably the new friend that's going to give you the break you deserve.” he winked.
”Thank you!” Precious replied as she placed a hand on her chest as a sign of relief.
What was happening! Tale was confused at how fast things were moving.
”So I'm leaving because it's super late.”
”It's only 7.49pm” Tale queried
”It's my word against yours, see you in court! It was nice to meet you again Su.”
Precious found her cross shoulder bag and her phone and gave her friend a hug while she whispered into her ear. ”He's so hot! Ask him if he has a brother, love you and have fun!” Without given Tale a moment to reply, she said good night and was out the door!
Okay what just happened!
