FROM THE APPLE GUY, ADIDAS BOY, AND THE CAPTAIN
At the red carpet
Liz stepped out from Angga's Audi and the valet driver took over his car. "Wow, I didn't expect to be in red carpet or the media here" Angga whispered to her. He looked really handsome in this black tuxedo, he wear this glasses that mad he looked more charming. "So, take my hand and be cool, sir" Liz put her arms in Angga's arm and they started to walk of the red carpet.
"Liz Wakefield, are you dating this Asian guy from the Apple?" the media started to ask and take pictures. "Well, he is my date for tonight, for you to know and he is really nice" Liz smiled to the media and answered calmly. One of the reporters gave them sign to stand closer for them to shoot pictures. Liz could felt that Angga is really nervous, so Liz stepped closer and somehow he rest his hand on her shoulder and pulled her closer. "You two looked cute together, and where is your twin sister?". "She will be here soon, so just watch out. Bye bye good evening."
"Wow, you are just so pro out there. I didn't imagine I walked together with media's most wanted" Angga giggled as they were parted from the crowd.
"Yeah, and as they said, you look cute at the camera" Liz smiled and teased him, Angga get this reddened color all over his face. Liz loved to watch his nervous face. Slowly, Angga slipped his palm to Liz's and they started to wonder around.
"Jess Wakefield, you always made a late entrance than your sister, huh? And you bring the new adidas model!! Are you two dating? " The media asked questions again as Jess and Kyle made their entrance." People say that watch was made for Liz, well I and Kyle hoped that we could make a stunning entrance. Right, Kyle" Jess threw her megawatt smile and her arm was in Kyle's. "Sure, and if you notice we are here as our company ambassador, so would you take picture of us? This could make our company proud." Kyle joked and smiled he was used to be with the media. "Jess and Kyle quickly started too bumped with other guests that they know.

Liz is really really made me nervous. I mean she is extremely beautiful, especially with her long black see through dress (but doesn't look slutty), her hair was messy curled and brought to her left side, funny, friendly, she's not snob or something, and she really like to tease me( what was that?). Am I lucky or what?
"So Angga, how did you come to SF?" Liz asked with concern.
"I spent my childhood until high school in Jakarta. I was really into engineering computer, and I decided that study in US really fit my interest. So I applied at USC and I haven't got back to Indonesia". Liz noticed that every time he tells stories, he always using his hands, fingers and mimics of his face. " Same old story for foreign students here, but you are incredible! You made it through Apple! I guess I'll change my mind about Indonesian people."
"Let me know, what will you change about?
"First, that Indonesian guy are cute, oops… they are smart, funny and interesting" Liz said with giggles. Angga blushed and turn around. "I guess you are the type of popular queen of high school, blond hair, perfect body, and I wondered that your exes are the sport stars. And you were mean to the other girls who were not popular, cheerleader…. Umm that's what I remembered from the teen America I watched ahhaa"
Liz started to laugh; she really had a great time. "well, some of them are right, but don't forget I have twin sister, it means that we divide the mighty area."
"What was that supposed to mean?"
"I am blond, my body is perfect, wow such an admiration for myself, but you said it. I was in cheerleader, but just for 1 season, Jess did it all times, I worked at the school paper for 3 years, definitely I wasn't mean to other girl, although Jess did it some time, and some of my exes were sport stars, but I dated a jerk some time."
"Well, I see that you two are having a talk show, aren't' you?" jess took the saved seat and Kyle sat beside her. "Yes, and maybe you are our special guests" Angga replied with a smirk.
Suddenly the music played the national anthem loud out, and one man appeared headed to the podium.
"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, such a pleasure to have you all gathered here. I am Ian McKinley, The California's state basketball manager. And now, please welcome Todd Wilkins, our captain, to give you the opening speech. Please welcome, Todd Wilkins". The guests started to clapped hands and Todd Wilkins entered the podium waving to the guests.
"Angga, didn't mean to show off, but he was my high school sweetheart." Liz said casually and smiled. "Liz, Toddy boy is really growing up, he looked like Josh Hartnett." Jess stated enthusiastically.
"Wow he is really a sport star Liz, wow see, you are blushing.. Liz is getting nostalgia.." Angga sing a – teasing Liz sound.
Liz
Did I hear something jealousy? But Angga is really cool bout this thing and he is teasing me just like his friend and it's totally cool with me
"Angga, no offense, but you have to drink L-Men right after tonight" Kyle added teasing Angga. He wasn't being rude and just sounds like breaking the ice.
"Thanks Kyle, I wish I could program my muscle like I used to program my computer. " Angga laugh, he wasn't being down or what.
Angga
So he is Liz's ex, and so what? I'm not even dating her, and I don't feel jealous, so I just tease her and reply KYLE'S joke. I know it was only joke.
The Todd man is great and Liz deserved guy like that.
"As we know, the NBA 2006 will be held in here, SF, so as the host; I think we better not embarrassed ourselves. So, here am I, Todd Wilkins, presenting the Cali's team to ask your supports. Go, California!!!" Todd Wilkins ended his speech and the guests gave standing ovation as applause and supports.
The dinner was great and the gang enjoyed the time, they talked and joked about everything and greet many people around.
As Todd walked around, Liz gulped and sat nervously, she even thought about going to restroom, but it was too late.
"Wow, the Neutrogena twins are here!" Todd headed to their desk and smiled at the twins. "Sure, Toddy boy, and I believe you still remember my name. You're our captain! What a surprise, NBA boy!!" Jess replied playfully and hugged him, and kissed him on cheeks.
"No doubt this is Liz, the very chatty and easy going one" Todd joked. "Funny, Toddy boy! You are our friend who never failed to tell us apart!" Jess exclaimed.
" Hey, Todd, guess what, Jess just now called you Josh Hartnett instead of Toddy boy" Liz managed to stay cool and hugged him too, first she wasn't sure about kissed his cheeks, but since Jess did it, why not?
"This is my favorite twins. The girl who chased around me when 7, played soccer with me, and now, the Neutrogena and Guess model!" Todd grinned happily.
" Hey, lucky man you got 2 package of kisses and hugs at 5 minutes!" Kyle interrupted.
"Yes, definitely my lucky day. I'm Todd and I guess you're Jess victim tonight" Todd gave his hand and shook with Kyle.
"I'm Kyle Hoggins and I think you're right.ahahah. And this one is Angga Saputra " Kyle introduced Angga.
"Hi, nice to meet you.And I wondered what cologne you wore to have that package. Ahah. Just kidding" Angga shook politely.
"Well, I can't tell you it's my secret" Todd joked.

But I have to say that angga man is cool and seems like a nice guy. Liz deserved him. liz??? Liz wilkins?? Elizabeth wilkins?? Oh not that high school dreams again!
Suddenly the light went off, and the spotlight headed to the podium, there was Todd stood out there.
"I would like to say that tonight will end up with the slow dance, so everybody, please say up the floor. But before that, I would like to ask to Mr Saputra, would you mind if ask your date, Miss Wakefield for a dance? Please, just one sway" Todd said that clearly. The spotlight headed to Angga. Liz was so surprised, Angga was too. That was really weird
angga
okay, I am really really speechless. What is going on here?
Todd really respects me; after all, that was just a dance.. yes .. no.. yes.. no.. yes.. no
What????
Somehow Angga managed to calm himself and sighed deeply.
"Sure.. why not, I'm sure I would be happy, what guy in SF doesn't want to dance with Miss Wakefield? So, would you, Liz?" Even on the crucial moments, he still joked.
Liz
Wow?? What was that? But the funny thing is, I'm not mad or annoyed with ANGGA'S answers, I am impressed by them. Wow. After all, it was just a dance, right??
Liz smiled and kissed Angga's cheek the headed to the podium, followed by the spotlight. As she neared Todd, she smiled, and whispered, "What a great guy is Mr. Saputra, right? ". Slowly Todd took his hand, and then he slipped his other hand on her waist, Liz put her hand on her muscular shoulder. He grows taller now and his body is really... masculine.
"Yes, so I guess I put the wrong strategy, but I'm really glad you're happy with him. Long time no see, didn't we? "Todd stared to her eyes, and smirked. The orchestra was playing the dance waltz, Barcarolle and they made their move through the floor. They danced many times back in high school and every movement just gestured perfectly. "todd, I even forgot to congratulate you for making this great, captain? Wow. There are so much to catch up between us..." Liz said softly. She enjoyed the familiar smell of Todd, she even admired him now. He looked more handsome, his eyes still warm brown, and his hair still fell down.
"Sure thing, I'll call you and we can ask Jess too, I miss fighting with her. You look gorgeous Liz, prettier than I saw in the pictures" Todd tried to avoid Liz's eyes, but he just couldn't.
"So, Todd, I guess I'm expired now, he is waiting for me. Thanks for the dance" Liz pulled away and squeezed his hand. "Thank you, Liz. Have fun" Todd hardly let her go.
Todd
Sure liz is definitely into him. I'm supposed to be glad. Right??
Jess rested her head on Kyle's muscular chest. She felt so comfortable, so belong to here and happy. "Hey, Kyle, thank you for tonight, I'm so glad you made with" Jess looked up and smiled. Kyle tightened his hand on Jess's waist and smiled " Thank you, Jess. I'm having good time and.. you are a good dancer too". Kyle stared to her blue green eyes charmed by her beauty then kissed her lips softly. Jess kissed back.
Liz walked fast to find Angga, then quickly grabbed his hand to the dance floor. "Hey, you owe me a dance" Liz smiled flirtatiously. "Like, I said, what guy could say no?" Then they danced, happily, like belong to each other.
