Aidan¡¦s POV
She seriously is a feisty woman. I have never in my life met a female species (yes that includes dogs, rats, and whatnot) that does not fall in love with Seth immediately. It¡¦s like there is this invisible force that drags her into a brawl with handsome ol¡¦ Seth. Since they had their first encounter at the bank, they¡¦ve been arguing nonstop. To say that this strange Asian is a vicious person is unquestionably an understatement.
I don¡¦t know how to explain it¡K but somehow, I like her attitude towards Seth. Now I don¡¦t think this has anything to do with when Seth dated this wonderfully attractive lady that I happened to be interested in too, and now I like the Asian because she is not affected by Seth¡¦s ultimate ¡§sexiness¡¨ as some lady acquaintances had elegantly said to me once. It has nothing to do with it. I swear.
Kyle¡¦s cheery voice suddenly interrupted my thoughts as he shouted, ¡§we¡¦re home, finally!¡¨
I stepped out of the 1964 Cadillac that Scott treasures immensely.
¡§You boys do whatever you want. I¡¦ll drop by later to discuss a certain detail with you guys,¡¨ Scott said in a fatherly tone as he eyed Seth, as if daring him to do something wild.
His car finally drove away and Kyle hopped towards the door. He was obviously very chipper to be home. Good for that feller.
I turned around to Seth, only to discover him shoving the poor Asian girl up towards our flat. Seth is very smooth when it comes to women. But did I tell you that he can be extremely rude to those that he deems not ¡§privileged¡¨ enough to be treated as a woman?
Just before Seth was about to push the lady a little too hard, I was there to catch her when she tripped. Our eyes briefly made contact and I felt her brown eye drill a hole into mine. It was one violent glare alright. I immediately collected my composure and tried to say in a gentlemanly tone, ¡§Seth can be quite rough sometimes, please forgive him¡¨ and I gestured for her to go into the house. Seth only grunted to that.
Now she was not going to be able to run away. We¡¦re in a neighborhood where no one cares about anyone but himself or herself. When Kyle, Seth, and I bought this flat, we made sure that the neighborhood was filled with assassins and thieves like us. What could be a safer place than a place filled with our own kind? Our neighbors know better than to meddle into anyone¡¦s business. Assassins and thieves simply try to avoid unnecessary social contact at all costs.
When we all got into our home, we all smiled gratifyingly, except maybe the woman. She growled very unlady-like and stood there by the door, as if waiting for some knight in shining armour to rush out of those doors and rescue the damsel in distress. Nuh uh not gonna happen.
Ignoring Kyle¡¦s exciting howling about being home, I looked around the house. It wasn¡¦t anything fancy. Anyone who looks at it can tell that it lacks a woman¡¦s touch. It definitely is a bachelor home. The living room was simply two couches, a coffee table, and a plasma television. Despite how messy you may think it is, it¡¦s not. Kyle and I made this pact at the beginning that we would at all times keep the home orderly and well¡K just not whatever Seth had in mind. Seth of course only agreed to our little conformity because good ol¡¦ Kyle and I forbade him from bringing girls home if he doesn¡¦t help clean up around the house. I can tell the Asian likes the house a bit when I stared at her from the corner of my eyes.
I took the time to study her profile. Short, feathered raven hair that reaches only a bit above her shoulders. Her clothes are rather farmer-like if you ask me. I probably like her almond-shaped eyes the most. They have this excited glint when she¡¦s amused¡K and now is that time. She¡¦s probably amused by the fact that three single men could have such a neat home. I think that deserves a round of applause. Thank you thank you, no pictures please.

Cho¡¦s POV
Well, it¡¦s better than I thought. The house is well¡K amazingly hygienic, definitely not what I expect from three bachelors, three thieves, three kidnappers, three monkey-face little son-of-a-mother-freakin¡¦-guns. Alright¡K I¡¦m getting out of control. Whoops time to breathe.
Great¡K now I¡¦m stuck with these three buffoons. What is a good wonderful girl like myself going to do? I know. My brilliant prince charming will rush through that door next to me and save me from this abhorrent predicament. In my dreams¡K and what prince charming? Ergh¡K darn those lame muggle fairy tale books I used to read when I was a kid.
Right at this moment, I am cooking up a plan. Yes, it¡¦s time for my rusty noodles to get to work.
Cho¡¦s Brilliant Plan of Escape1. Grab the nearest fork I can find.
2. Put the silverware to use and try to stab all three kidnappers to death.
3. First, kill Seth, the biggest, and most completely moronic repulsive cow alive.
4. Laugh mockingly while stabbing.
5. Laugh like an insane woman while stabbing.
6. Clean up after murder, after all I am a lady who did not attend etiquette school for nothing.
Ok¡K I admit, so it wasn¡¦t the best plan in the world. But it might just work. Just when my eyes were scanning for a shiny fork, major moron (that¡¦s Seth) came and pushes me some more. In my politest behaviour, I returned the favour with a firm kick in his knees. That will give him a nice blue bruise. Really now¡K I think blue compliments him. It brings out his big ugly head. Honestly, I think I¡¦m doing the world a favour, showing exactly how obnoxiously ugly that pig is.
¡§Yes Scott, I understand. You should seriously calm down,¡¨ came Aidan¡¦s voice. What¡¦s this Scottie boy up to?
¡§You were going to come over to talk about it anyways,¡¨ a pause.
¡§Yes, we¡¦ll wait right here,¡¨ he stares at me. What¡¦s up his ass?
¡§Ummhmm¡K right,¡¨ and he hangs up. Alright now his stare is freaking me out. Great, I think they finally decided that since I have no money, they will kill me not before ripping my clothes off and violating me, then chop me into a trillion tiny pieces and dump me in the Indian Ocean (why Indian Ocean I don¡¦t know¡K I just figured it¡¦s faraway from where I am right now).
I hope this is what went on in the phone conversation.
Scottie boy: I am the gayest piece of crap you could ever meet. What was I thinking kidnapping that poor innocent lass? I think we should do something about it.
Aidan: Yes Scott, I understand. You should seriously calm down.
Scottie boy: What about we give all of our money to that Asian and then leave her be and hopefully she will pardon us for our foolish act.
Aidan: You were going to come over to talk about it anyways.
Scottie boy: Now that that¡¦s settled, I¡¦ll rush over in my fastest speed and release that poor dear.
Aidan: Yes, we¡¦ll be right here. (Aidan stares at me apologetically, asking for forgiveness.) Ummhmm¡K right.
Thus, ends my analysis. I think there¡¦s quite a high chance of that that was the exact dialogue that went on. It makes perfect sense. Don¡¦t you think?

Seth¡¦s POV
This is just b-e-a-u-tiful. Here I am staring at an ant climb onto the table with all its might. Whoop and it falls down again, thanks to the magnificent lady sitting next to me. For the past hour, she¡¦s been blowing that ant down to the ground every time it reaches its destination. Is she retarded or what? And doesn¡¦t the ant get the idea that with this childish bitch blowing his ass down every two minutes that it should give up?
¡§Idiot¡K¡¨did I just think that out loud?
¡§What did you say, your majesty of the world of morons?¡¨ I think I feel another argument coming on with this chick¡K what is her name anyways? I put on my best smirk just to annoy her.
¡§Exactly what you think I said,¡¨ another sweet smirk. Take that bitch!
¡§And so the king of all idiots calls on his people, I¡¦m sorry to burst your bubble, but I think your minions are a bit too dumb to get the directions to your house to serve you at this moment. As you can see, they are busy figuring out how to open a cereal box,¡¨ she says, slitting her eyes into a line.
Cereal box? God where does she get all these dumb comebacks? She thinks she can somehow offend me with her smart-ass comments. In her dreams.
I clenched my teeth and was about to snap back when the doorbell rang. Sometime in this period of treachery, I thought Kyle was going to shout out, ¡§and King Scott makes his grand entrance. All minions bow before him.¡¨
Scott ¡§gracefully,¡¨ and I quote unquote that, towards our couch and motioned for feisty Asian orange chicken and I to him. Why do I dread the feeling that this will be of them nice ol¡¦ ¡§friendly¡¨ chitchat?
¡§Seth, you fucked up.¡¨ Well nice to see you too, Scott.
¡§I know the rules. Absolutely no captures. We don¡¦t do those kind of shit, I know, Scott,¡¨ I said with pleading eyes¡K or what I hope to be pleading eyes. Does narrowing your eyes count as pleading eyes? I sure hope so.
Scott took a deep breath and for five minutes there no one said a word. Aidan and Kyle looked at each other from the opposite ends of the living room. I think I see tumbleweed rolling by. [Cowboy music plays]
¡§There¡¦s only one thing to do now. You¡¦ve got to marry her,¡¨ he said in a deathly grim tone.
¡§Harhar, good one Scott, you got me. What is the real plan?¡¨ I eyed him, a bit too worriedly.
¡§You know we¡¦ve made a compromise with you know who that no one would be harmed in the process, now we¡¦ve got to give him a reason to keep this girl. You know very well that if we don¡¦t somehow keep this girl, he will want her dead, and I don¡¦t want an innocent life lost. This is the only way.¡¨
¡§My ass it is,¡¨ this comment really flared ol¡¦ Scott up.
"You need to clean this shit up
because you're the one who brought her home!" Scott roared.
I now stood up from the couch and glanced over at the Asian who returned me
with a death glare before I met Scott's hazel eyes.
"What the fuck would marrying her help?" I said as calmly as I could
but failed desolately. God, this is fucked up! I'm not even ready to commit to
a relationship and get a girlfriend, and now... now I have to marry a woman who
refuses to get in bed with me?!
¡§Unless you¡¦ve got a better solution Seth,¡¨ he said calmly.
¡§This orange chicken and I,¡¨ boy does she look angry when I made this comment, well you see she¡¦s not very happy about this arrangement either. She¡¦s as excited as when Richard Simmons goes on a diet, ¡§don¡¦t get along. We¡¦re like tea and milk. I¡¦m warm and sweet while she¡¦s plain and disgusting. Does that tell you something? We¡¦re totally different!¡¨ Ooh¡K that earned me a fierce look from her. Well up hers.
¡§You¡¦ve got 24 hours to figure something out. I¡¦m too tired to deal with this,¡¨ with that he left.
I¡¦ve got 24 hours and I better think up some brilliant plan. I don¡¦t want to be spending this ¡§supposed¡¨ lifetime with this sour-ass bitch; and frankly, from the daggers she¡¦s throwing me with her eyes, I don¡¦t think she wants to spend time with me either.
Preview:
¡§Here, this is the locket Seth took from you, this will be our little secret,¡¨ I winked at her as I said. I see a smile climbing on her sun-kissed face, and I think I like it. Her eyes somehow twinkle innocently. There¡¦s something about her.
¡§Thanks,¡¨ she whispered breathlessly as our eyes locked. Passionate green and warm brown consumed each other as we held our gaze. Before our faces inched closer, I asked her.
¡§What¡¦s your name?¡¨ She seemed to be contemplating on whether to tell me her name or not.
¡§Um¡K you don¡¦t have to tell me your name, I mean if you¡K¡¨
¡§It¡¦s Autumn. Autumn Lee,¡¨ she grinned.
¡§Well nice to meet you Autumn. I¡¦m Aidan. Glad to be at your service.¡¨
A/N: Phew-ey¡K when was the last time I updated this story? Summer I see¡K and it¡¦s winter¡K hm¡K I¡¦m only two seasons behind. Heh heh heh heh [nervous laughter] Sorry you guys. It¡¦s just that I¡¦ve been so busy with my study and I somehow was kind of suffering from writer¡¦s block for this story. I couldn¡¦t plant myself down to do anything for ¡§It¡¦s All Right.¡¨ My deepest apology.
Thanks for reviewing: dancr4eva, *cho chang*, Cameron, JulietCapulet, Lil-Miz-Chief, person confused, and SweEtLittLeLily.
I know in most cases when authors write about the main character, the protagonist is somewhat portrayed like its creator. Well I could tell you one thing, besides the sarcasm, Cho and I are absolutely not alike in this story. I don¡¦t cuss in real life and I definitely don¡¦t go around ticking everyone off, and I¡¦m definitely not antisocial. LOL anyways, just to get that off of my chest.
To tell the truth, I like the title of this chapter ¡§Tea and Milk.¡¨ It¡¦s in one of the dialogues. You see Seth made this dumb comparison about how tea and milk are totally different. But when they mix together, they make a fine tasting cup of beverage. ;P I like the irony of this title. Haha, weird little me.
