Crashing Into You

"A shrimp with vermicelli and garlic" Tan Ja Nin answered while her eyes are glistening. She loves preparing a shrimp meal for Lee Jin Ho because it was his favorite. 

Lee Chin Mei suddenly felt guilty. " Big sis, I have something to confess.."

Confess? What was it that this la.s.s wanted to say to her. 

"I know I told you before that my brother loves shrimp and it was his favorite. But the truth is, I am the one who loves it so much"

Tan Ja Nin was stunned. If it wasn"t his favorite, why does he still enjoyed everything that she prepared for him before. Could it be that he doesn"t want her to be disappointed?

Her pretty face suddenly felt sank. 

"I"m sorry Big Sis, can you forgive me?" Lee Chin Mei asked. Her face was that of a person who made mistake and was trying to rectify it.

Tan Ja Nin smiled at her. "I will only forgive you if you will tell me honestly now what is his favorite foods"

"I wanted to tell you, but don"t you think it is more romantic if you"ll find it yourself?" Lee Chin Mei said teasingly.

Tan Ja Nin thought for awhile and this la.s.s seems right.

"You can start by remembering all the foods that he loves to order every time you went out for dinner date" Lee Chin Mei suggested.

Well, Lee Jin Ho always order a pork meal. So he loves everything that was made of pork meat?

"He love pork." she uttered.

"Right" said Lee Chin Mei and gave her a smile. 

She pouted. She has started deveining the shrimp and it would be a waste if she will not continue cooking it. But when she remembered that it was Lee Chin Mei"s favorite. She smiled.

"Please stay here for dinner tonight." she said.

"Oh sure! I love Shrimp" Lee Chin Mei got excited. 

"I"ll just cook another dishes for your brother. What is his favorite pork dish?" She asked. 

Lee Chin Mei smiled. "Okay, since you"ve invited me for dinner tonight, I will tell you. His favorite is pork meatb.a.l.l.s"

"Pork meatb.a.l.l.s? I didn"t know how to cook it yet." 

Lee Chin Mei laughed "Then a breaded pork will do for now"

"Okay, I think I can do it"

Lee Chin Mei gave her a wink. "Do you need a hand? 

"You can peel the garlic for me." 

"Okay!" Lee Chin Mei said as she picked up the garlic on the table.

Then the doorbell rang. 

They looked at each other.

"Is that Big Brother?" Lee Chin Mei asked. 

"If it"s your big brother, I think he can just came in using his key."

"So who could it be?" said Lee Chin Mee as she stroked her chin.

"Can you help check it?" Tan Ja Nin said. 

"Okay!" Lee Chin Mei put the garlic back to the table and strode off to the main door. She peeped on the peeping hole first and was stunned to see who was outside the door.

No way! Her mind screamed. 

What"s Lu Jiaosheng doing here?

He should not see her here. 

We went back nervously. 

"Who was it?" Tan Ja Nin asked when she noticed that the visitor hasn"t come on in yet.

"I don"t know, I"m not familiar with him so I did not open the door. Can you check if you know him?" She said nervously. 

"Tan Ja Nin washed her hands and went to the door to see who"s Lee Jin Ho"s visitor.

She was stunned when she saw Lu Jiaosheng standing outside from the peeping hole. She immediately went back to the kitchen.

He should not see her here. 

"You didn"t know him too?" Lee Chin Mei asked when she noticed that Tan Ja Nin did not open the door for Lu Jiaosheng. 

"I know him. He is your brother"s bestfriend." 

Lee Chin Mei swallowed her saliva before she speak again nervously. "Then why you didn"t open the door?"

"He should not see me here!" Tan Ja Nin exclaimed.

Lee Chin Mei knitted her brows. "Why?"

"We haven"t reveal our relations.h.i.+p yet to our circle of friends!" Tan Ja Nin admitted.

Lee Chin Mei took a deep sigh. Great!

"So should we just ignore him until he leaves?" she asked nervously.

"Uhm"

Lee Chin Mei smiled "Okay"

Problem solved. Lu Jiaosheng won"t be seeing her at that moment. Her deep secret won"t be revealed yet. 

Meanwhile, Lu Jiaosheng almost lost his patience while he was standing at Lee Jin Ho"s door. He tried to call him again. 

This time his call went through.

"h.e.l.lo!"

"Lee Jin Ho. Where you at?" 

"I"m still here at the office addressing an urgent issue. Why?" Lee Jin Ho answered. 

Lu Jiaosheng sighed. So he came at the bad timing. There"s no chance that he could get a time with Lee Jin Ho today. "I have something to tell you, but it seems that your quite busy today. Can we meet tomorrow for a drink?" 

"Sure!" said Lee Jin Ho said and hang up the phone. After he ended the call, he took a deep sigh because he was guilty because he lied to him. He knew that Lu Jiaosheng might ask him to meet today when he asked his location because he just received a text from Tan Ja Nin that Lu Jiaosheng was in front of his pad"s doorstep right now and he should not see Tan Ja Nin in his bachelor"s pad tonight. So whatever it is that he wanted to say to him, that can wait tomorrow.

Lee Chin Mei saw when Lu Jiaosheng left because she went back to the door and looked at him again at peeping hole. Her heart was beating so fast now that she saw him again in person. 

"Did he leave already?" Tan Ja Nin asked, Lee Chin Mei heart almost pop up from her chest when she heard Tan Ja Nina and saw her standing behind her.

"Uhm" Lee Chin Mei answered.

Tan Ja Nin took a sigh of relief and went back to the kitchen. Lee Chin Mei followed her. She took the garlic at the stable again and started peeling it. 

"Why do you still keep your relations.h.i.+p secret to your circle of friends?" She curiously asked.

"Because they don"t have any idea about us! I mean, who would have thought that we will have a relations.h.i.+p?"

Lee Chin Mei nooded. Because she also never thought that her brother will end up with Tan Ja Nin. He was so deeply inlove with Song Dei Si before and Tan Ja Nin was crazy inlove with Yan Mor Tee too. 

"So how does your relations.h.i.+p start? I"m curious too" Lee Chin Mei asked. 

Tan Ja Nin was caught off guard. How could she tell her that she ended up on his bed and that"s how it started. 

"Someday, I"ll tell you!"

Lee Chin Mei pouted. She really wanted to know but it seems that Tan Ja Nin wasn"t ready to tell her all the details yet and she understood. Sometimes there were some things that was so hard to tell and discuss with someone. 

She sighed. It seems like she was on the same situation right now. She has this deep little secret that she doesn"t want people to know.

"So you didn"t recognize Lu Jiaosheng?" Tan Ja Nin suddenly asked. 

Lee Chin Mei got started. How could she not recognize him? She was always on her thoughts and never left her mind since she was 13.

But she could not say it to Tan Ja Nin. She could only lie to her right now. 

"Uhm!"

"Remember his face and if you can, please try to avoid him in the future..." Tan Ja Nin said. 

Lee Chin Mei frowned. "Why?"

Tan Ja Nin laughed. "Because he is a playboy! And his object of affection now is someone like you. Young and beautiful!" 

Lee Chin Mei was still frowning. She knew that he"s quite a playboy, but what does she mean that his object of affection now is someone like her. Young and beautiful!

"I"ll tell you a secret!" Tan Ja Nin said

"Secret?!"

Uhm, about Lu Jiaosheng!"

What about him?

"I am telling you this because I don"t want you to fall into his trap. I know Lu Jiaosheng is someone who can make anyone fall for him especially young ones due to his jolly nature and good sense of humor but he done something that is unacceptable!" Tan Ja Nin said and looked at Lee Chin Mei.

"What did he do?" Lee Chin Mei asked curiously.

"He had a one night stand with a youngster who was almost like your age when we were in Hong Kong and the most unacceptable thing was... the girl was a virgin when he had her!"

Lee Chin Mei almost had a heart attack!

So everyone knows what had happen to them in Hong Kong!
