******Hi people!! I noticed that most of my fics have wrong spellings or some of the supposed-to-be-italicized words aren't italicized. It's because my computer's old and it sucks. Sorry for that. Anyway, thanks for the reviews so far! Keep them coming please!!!*******
He's coming this way! Oh, what am I gonna do? Wait a second, what am I worrying about? He was my friend. . .Before I rejected his love. . . .STOP!!! I have to think rationally. . .Come on, Barbie, be calm. . . .
"Hi Barbie," a deep voice said. Barbie's train of thought stopped upon hearing it.
"J-jerry!! Hello," she said doing her best to remain calm.
"I didn't expect to find you here."
"Uhmm. . .Me too."
By this time, the cashier gave Barbie her money.
"Uhmm, Jerry, you wanna sit with me and Michelle?," Barbie asked.
"Sure," Jerry replied smiling.
Michelle was as surprised as Barbie when she saw Jerry. The three of them sat down, Jerry beside Barbie and Michelle in front of Barbie.
"I can't believe you're here! It's such a coincidence," she said. "How have you been? How's your love life? Are you seriously dating that non-showbiz woman? How did you get here without being mobbed?"
"Slow down, Michelle. First of all, I'm fine. I didn't get mobbed because my bodyguards are outside, making sure that nobody else gets in. People can get out but not in."
"Okay."
"How come you guys weren't mobbed?"
"Everybody in Taiwan hates me."
"They sure do. Nobody recognized me 'cause I wore this," Barbie said pulling out a bonnet from her bag.
"What about my "love life" question, Jerry?"
"Oh, well, nothing much. I'm still loveless. Still hoping that my one true love will come," he replied, turning to Barbie.
What the hell does he mean?! Why is he looking at me like that?
"Then the news about you wasn't true?"
"Nope. I don't have time to date anyway."
I don't know why but I feel happy, seeing that he still single. . . Maybe, there's till a chance for us to be together. Maybe, he will be able to help me get rid of Mark. . .STOP!!! I'm supposed to forget about him! There is no hope for us!
"How's F3?," Michelle asked.
"Well, Ken's doing okay. He's having voice lessons. Vic's still shooting and Vanness and Vivian are still going strong. Actually, they're coming to Taiwan 3 days from now. We're trying to finish our 3rd album. My album's set to come out on December 31. The eve of my 27th birthday."
"I didn't realize you were so old!"
"I'm the same age as Barbie, only her birthday is 3 months before mine. She's the old one!"
"I'm not old," Barbie said.
"Yes you are! You're older than me!"
"By 3 months only, Xiao Bai Tu!!! Three months!"
I haven't called him Xiao Bai Tu (Little Rabbit) in a long time. . . . "Vanness was right about calling you Da Jie! You are old after all!"
"Da Jie sounds better than Xiao Bai Tu! Xiao Bai Tu sounds like a baby's nickname! So does Xiao V (Vanness's nickname)!"
"Vanness is called Xiao V because he's still little compared to you, DA JIE!"
"Okay you two, stop the squabbling already," Michelle said, butting in.
The three of them continued chatting until it was starting to get dark. Barbie had become less stiff after their little squabble so they had lots of fun. Unfortunately, their fun had to stop because the 3 of them had other things to attend to.
"Bye, guys. Ill see you on Jerry's birthday, okay?," Michelle said, getting into her convertible.
"Bye," Jerry and Barbie said in unison.
"I'll be going now Jerry. By," Barbie said approaching her car.
"It was great to see you again Barbie. Bye," Jerry said, hugging Barbie.
He smells so good. Just like he did back when we were shooting.
"I meant everything I said that afternoon in your dressing room," Jerry added in a whisper.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Jerry didn't hear her though. He was already in his car.
Barbie got into her car and started driving to her house.
It was a fun afternoon. Just like old times. Just like the times when I wasn't under Mark's authority. Speaking of that bastard, I wonder why he hasn't called since the night I brought up the party. He's probably out with some model whores again. I hope he never calls.
Upon arriving in her house, Barbie found a black car outside.
Shit. Mark is here.
"Miss, Mark is here," James said.
"I know," Barbie replied.
"Where the hell have you been?," Mark said when he saw Barbie.
"Out with M-michelle," she replied.
"Michelle?! You liar! I saw you, Michelle and Jerry together in Starbuck's," Mark said.
"We met Jerry accidentally."
"You expect me to believe you?! You worthless whore!" Then he punched Barbie in the face.
"You're calling me a whore you bastard?! You wanna know who the whores are?! The whores are the women who actually agree to sleep with you!"
"Why you worthless b****!" He punched Barbie again. Then he kicked her really hard.
The butler, James, who had heard the commotion entered the living room.
"Miss! What happened?," James aid rushing to Barbie's side. "Mr.Lan what did you do to Miss Hsu?!"
"The whore deserved it," Mark said and walked out the door.
*****Well how was it? Reviews welcome! Ja ne!****
