Monday morning
Liz got dressed in blouse and skirt, got her coffee quickly, and then drove to Vogue office. She entered the room, headed to her desk and plugged on her notebook. She had many ideas about her next article. "Morning, Liz, nice weekend, huh? " Hana greeted her as she sipped her coffee. "Great! How bout yours?" "Not bad, I had dinner with my parents and we told each others many things we've missed. Hey, how about Mischa Barton as our cover 2 months later, she had a great statement on her Academy speech" Hana asked. "and her outfit was really breathtaking. Why not, we should bring up at the next meeting" Liz answered.
At lunch time, Jess was planned to stop by Liz's office, but she heard someone stepped into her studio. Her coworkers, Bella and Ashley had left studio 1 hour ago. She locked the studio door when a hand closed her eyes. She was threatened. Who is this? A robber? Uh oh.. But suddenly she smelled rose behind her nose. "Hey gorgeous, have any idea who is this" said a very sexy voice. "Are you a robber?" Jess kidded. "Yes, mam. I'm trying to steal your heart. So, would you call the police?" The hand removed and quickly Jess turned around, that was Kyle and bunch of red roses." Well, yes, I would like to report my heart that was stolen by you" Jess sensed the roses' smell and kissed Kyle's lips softly.
"So, wanna go lunch?" "Sure thing, Kyle. Thank you so much the flowers are beautiful". They went lunch to a Thai restaurant then Kyle hung out at Jess's studio.
"So what are we now? A couple? Or just a perfect Neutrogena and Adidas match?" Jess asked and looked into his eyes. She was sitting in the couch, it was 8 pm and they had been together for all day. "What do you think?" Kyle replied seductively. "Well, wanna get dinner in my apartment?"" Your wish" Kyle get up and hold her hand.
Jess
This is perfect. He sweet, romantic, nice, not forget to mention that cute face. I'm on sky high…
7.00 pm
Liz was so exhausted that night. She had written her next article, particularly hundred times, but it hadn't reached her perfect phase. What a day!! She decided to went home when she got text messages
Liz I'm on dinner with Kyle, we will hang out at the house then. C u
Jess
Liz, wanna grab a diner or something? I called your cell but it was busy. Call me.
Angga
Liz thought fast. What should I do? Call him back? Or what? Uh oh..
Liz headed to her car at the basement parking lot. Suddenly she saw one figure beside her car.
"Angga, you scared me! What are you doing?" Liz couldn't help smile. "I.. you didn't return my call, so I guess I just stop by here. Is it okay with you? I'm kind of hungry, wanna grab dinner?" he smiled nervously played with her keys. "sure, why not. Have idea where would we eat?".
"how does sushi sound? Sushi Tei down there?"
"okay, we'll meet there, since I have to drive my car too." Liz came into her Nissan SUV. "Okay, save a seat for me" He walked away, leaving Liz smiled while driving.
Liz and Angga sat in the long chair behind the rotating sushi counter. They started to take the sushi in front of them. " Wow, I had no idea that Guess model could eat anything" Angga teased.
"Well, don't spill it to the media. Talking bout the media,Did you notice something today?" Liz rolled her eyes.
"Yes, my friend, who bought the 'stars', showed me our picture was there, also you and Todd's and Jess'. She was kind of surprise you know. Not to mention I'm too. " He took the ebi with his chopstick.
"They said: The Wakefield Charms: from the Apple's brain, Adidas star until CA's state captain. But I love our picture, it was cute", Liz added. In the article, there were 3 photos" Jess and Kyle hand in hand while they entered the red carpet; Liz and Angga, with his hand over her shoulder; Angga smiled nervously and Liz smiled happily; the last one was when Liz and Todd danced, it was dark, and between the spotlight there was them.
Angga
When I saw that picture, I was happy actually, but seeing Liz and Todd, even in the picture, told me that they are belong 2 each other. I'm not ready yet to the serious type, we only met for 2 weeks. But what if Todd move fast? Oh.. I'm clueless
"Wakefield are truly charming, especially the one who is eating the sashimi". The words just blurted out from him. Liz was surprise, as far as she concerned, he is not really good at words like that. Liz just smiled shyly and looked the other way.
"Wanna come over to my apartment? Jess and Kyle are there, sure if you're not tired" Liz couldn't believe it was so hard to ask him to come over.
Angga and Liz walked slowly to her apartment then Liz unlocked
the door. They were headed to living room when they saw Jess and Kyle were kissing in the couch. "oops sorry.. not the right time' Liz exclaimed and give the wow- I'm happy for you- eyes for Jess. "It's okay, we can continue that later" Kyle pulled away and smiled. "Guys, I want to watch the next episode' Angga grinned, Liz giggled. " Buy your R rated dvd yourself!" Jess chuckled and threw a pillow to Angga.
"Don't try Jess, Angga. Let's go to the other room. Feel free, you two. " Liz grabbed Angga's hand and led him to the small library. There were 2 tall white book cabinet, a computer set and small tables with frames above it. Angga took a look at the frames. There were pictures of their family when the twins wee about 7; then Jess, Damon, Blue, liz, Salvador, Kristen, Bethel, Anna; Liz, Todd, Enid, Maria; Jess and Jeremy.
Angga felt a jealousy again when saw the picture of Liz and Todd again. " Nice reading room Liz. So what ARE your favorite books? Jane Austen? Robert Kiyosaki ? Love Story? "Angga took a seat and Liz sat opposite to him.
"I have tons of it, I love books, but Love Story is like the fairy tale
for me every night. I read that thousand times, but it didn't bored me"
" I don't like reading much, you know just when it is needed. But I appreciate nice stories between men and women". There was short silence, then when he looked up, he was staring to Liz' eyes. Next thing she knew, Angga slowly leaned over and brushed softly,really softly her lips.
Liz
Those eyes are really almost black and he kissed really softly, no one ever kissed me that soft, some kind with nervousness, doubts. But it was amazing, although we hadn't mentioned about the couple couple things, eww did I just sound like the high school girl? We're adult; somehow it takes more time to really get serious. Whatever, I even cut me n Angga picture from that gossip magazine. I still sensed his nervousness and I don't care.
Jess
Kyle just gone, we hang out until 10 pm. Wow; we spent time together from 1 pm? We've known each other for, like a month but it was okay, I mean, we're adult. He is really nice and easygoing; I had really fun with him. Don't forget he is an adorable kisser!
Todd
I just saw the pictures, me and liz. It was great, between the shadows, I held her waist, and she put her hand in my shoulder. I really felt... home. But I also saw the picture of her and angga. They looked cute together, and liz seemed happy. Can't I get her out of my head?? Since our last break up in the end of senior year's summer (we only hooked up for two months, I got to san Antonio u ), I dated someone else. But there weren't last long. Should I take her from that guy? That wasn't nice, right? Maybe, oh I hope so, they hadn't been couple couple things, only a dinner date, yeah as if a guy can stand long enough not to be hers. I should move on!!!
