Description: J.D is awesome :)
J.D - August 4, 2006 09:27 AM (GMT)
I would like to say thankyou to Loan for posting that article of how women can never be satisfied :)
==
Leila sat at the kitchen table calculating the bills while Bosco sat with Jacky on the sofa watching soccer.
"$300 on electricity, but they must have made a mistake!" Leila doubted herself. She looked through the kitchen doors and saw Bosco sitting on his fat ass and Jacky sitting on his cute little bum watching soccer. She noted five things: television is on, Electricity Company is charging money, lights are on, Electricity Company is charging money, lamps are on, Electricity Company is charging money, the heater is on, Electricity Company is charging money, unused computer is turned on, and Electricity Company is charging money.
Leila rose up from her chair and tried to calmly turn off all of those appliances. Click, click, click, click, and click.
Bosco and Jacky sat there looking at her, horrified that they were not only cold, but they were missing the greatest sport in the world.
"What are you doing?" both of them gasped.
Leila exploded. "What are you doing?" she mimicked. She threw down the electricity bill down on the coffee table. "Three hundred dollars, who's going to pay for that, how on earth did you manage to squeeze three hundred dollars worth of electricity in just one month? How? I would like to know!"
Bosco held onto his son's hand and squeezed on it tightly, saying that he's also scared. Jacky opened his mouth, "Mummy, I'm tired," and yawned falsely.
"Go to bed then, sweetheart," she told him, not losing her eye contact on that fat lazy bum in front of her. Jacky quickly let go of his dad's hand and rapidly flew to his room.
"I think, that just because five appliances are turned on, doesn't mean that they will always be," Bosco said, trying to smooth things over.
Leila looked at him disgustedly and walked over, kicking him in his manhood.
"Grow up, you fat mole," she replied. She walked back to the bedroom, leaving Bosco rolling on the floor.
--
In the morning, she attempted to not use too much electricity. She cooked breakfast with fire she cast up in her stove. "Only a little burnt," she muttered as she quickly put the bacon and eggs on the plate.
Bosco and Jacky appeared at the kitchen doorway at the same time, both yawning and rubbing their eyes with their traditional Wong bed hair. "Something smells burnt mummy, do we need the fire escape plan now?" Jacky yawned.
"It's just breakfast, sport, c'mon," Bosco said scooping Jacky into his own little chair.
Leila looked at Bosco, aghast, as he said that. She recovered from the shock and placed the dished down in front of Jacky and herself.
"Where's mine?" Bosco asked, wondering what he had done wrong now. It couldn't have been last night's electricity bills; she already kicked him in the balls.
"I assume that the highness here deserve something much better than my burnt smelling cooking," Leila said while busily cutting her bacon.
"What, I always loved your cooking," Bosco defended himself and stressed out the word loved.
"Loved, is past tense," Leila pointed out. "And a postman doesn't need that much energy. If you have so much money to spill, then go buy your own breakfast."
"She still isn't over the electricity bills and I just added the oil to the fire, idiot," Bosco thought.
"Fine, I'm going to work. C'mon Jacky, let's go to day care," he said, giving in, and scooping Jacky out of his seat.
==
That night, Leila went out with her best friend Ron. Bosco was left at home baby-sitting Jacky.
"I'm hungry, go and make me something to nibble on," Jacky ordered.
"You," Bosco pointed his finger at him, "are in trouble. Making your father slave at your feet, go to your room."
"Fine, but it's rude to point you know," Jacky replied, waddling back to his room. Bosco made a gesture of himself kicking Jacky on the butt, which sent Jacky screaming and running to his room.
SLAM! "That was the sound of the car door, Leila must be back from her friend date," Bosco thought. He jogged to the door and stopped midway when he heard:
"I know I shouldn't interfere with the relationship between your family and yourself, but would you please consider my offer?" Ron pleaded.
"Don't worry, Ron, I will," Leila said softly.
"Hmph, she never said anything so sweetly in ages," Bosco thought enviously. He walked to the door and peeked out the door hole. Leila was patting Ron's hand. Then Ron reached down to kiss Leila on the cheek. "You want to kiss eh? I don't think so," Bosco spitefully said as he quickly swung open the door.
"I heard the car door and I thought..." Bosco stopped talking as soon as he saw Leila on the ground. "Leila, oh my," Bosco quickly bent down and pulled Leila into his arms as he carried her into the house, closing the door behind him with his foot, locking Ron outside.
"Bosco, you maggot, that's what happens when you want to be unique, having the door going out instead of in. Look what it did?" she moaned, holding an icepack to her head.
"I'll go buy new ones first thing tomorrow," Bosco said, blowing at her throbbing area, hoping to soothe the pain.
"No, you're going to work first thing tomorrow, buy them in the afternoon," she corrected him.
"Yes, madam!" he obeyed, saluting her.
Leila smiled at his silly little gestures and laid her head on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her petite body and pulled in legs onto the couch. As she was listening intently to the sound of his heart beat, she suddenly thought, "Ron." Leila sat up and looked around, "Where's Ron?" she asked.
Bosco scowled, "Why would you want to know? He's probably gone home."
Leila looked down at him, and said, "You mean, you didn't invite him in?"
"Well, yes," Bosco said, making it sound like it was the right thing to do.
"You idiot, why didn't you invite him in," Leila forcefully asked, punching him hard in the stomach, making him gag a little.
"Why would I? So he can finish kissing you in here?" Bosco angrily said. He had always been jealous of Ron ever since they were young. Ron was always the person Leila trusted the most. Why can't it ever be him?
"What kissing?" Leila asked, dumbfounded. Then she realised what he was talking about. "You were spying on us? Don't you realise how pathetic that is?"
"Why are you getting so angry? Only people who did something bad react like that," Bosco shouted.
"That is what I call defending myself, you fool. And it was only a peck on the cheek, what are you so angry about? You are way too protective," she exclaimed.
Bosco realised to himself that he was fighting a losing battle. He's got to think, of what happened clearly.
"Weren't you going to decide whether you going to be with him or not? I can't believe that you are actually considering this!" Bosco exclaimed.
"He was going to get me a job overseas, and I thought, it might let you two spend three hundred dollars a month on electricity," Leila explained.
Bosco nervously rubbed his foot together. He lost the battle, but in his mind, he was quite glad that he did.
"I'm sorry honey, for ever doubting you," Bosco apologized.
"Forget it; I need a walk to clear my head. See you in a little while," Leila said, massaging the sides of her head.

Bernice Liu walked down the stairs to greet the visitor. Moses was sitting on the couch with him chatting.
"Are you Mr. Lam?" Bernice asked, holding out her hand for a shake.
"Yes, I'm Mr. Liu's lawyer and I'm here to talk about his will," he explained.
Bernice sat down and crossed her legs. "What does it say?"
Moses leant forward, eager to hear what the piece of paper contains.
"Mr. Liu decided to give his nephew, Moses Chan, 60% of his fortune and 85% of the company. And for Miss Liu, he decided to give 40% of his fortune and 15% of his company," the lawyer announced.
Bernice froze, thinking that this was a nightmare. Moses happily lead the lawyer out of the building and was about to go back upstairs, but he was stopped by Bernice.
"You think that you would get away with this? You somehow persuaded my father into giving you nearly all of his fortune, didn't you?" Bernice framed him.
"Pardon me, but I never did anything like that. Just because your father does not trust you with his company..." Moses reasoned with her.
"You think this is just about the company? What about his fortune? I only got 40%, do you think this is just a plain coincidence?"
"Are you jealous that you didn't get more than what I got? You think because I'm only his nephew and you’re his daughter, you should get more? Don't you know your dad favours people who has actual talent and puts them to practise?" Moses retorted.
Bernice scoffed at him and walked out the door.
--
How ridiculous of him to even think that, she thought. She climbed into the car and took off onto the road. It was really dark, so she turned on the lights. She thought of her dad, the will and Moses, which made her drive even faster.
==
Leila walked on the sidewalk deep in thought while massaging her temples.
"Why on earth did I ever fall in love with him in the first place? He's not bright like Ron and he's not rich like Ron."
Then there was a sharp pain erupting in Leila's head and it blurred her vision.
"Damn, I should have stayed at home," cursed Leila, sitting down before she falls.
==
Bernice glanced down at the dashboard and saw that she was running out of gas. She turned off the lights and turned the wheel to go back. As she turned, the car went onto the curb and as it hit something, there was a loud screeching scream.
