episode 4

At 6pm, i was done with my work. I handed over the papers i did to Mr. Vilma and bid him goodbye. He even shouted 'goodluck' when i got out of his office. Goodluck indeed. I walked out of the office and hauled a cab. 

When i got home i throw my bag at the floor and literally let my self fall on the couch. I sighed. Its a very long day and im very tired so i quickly fell into a much needed nap.

It's already 7pm when i woke up so i decided to just order chinese food. I ordered a lot and when i said a lot... i mean A LOT. I ordered egg rolls, deep fried wontons, salted spare ribs, frawn crackers, wonton soup, sweet and sour shrimp, fried chicken, fried rice  and fried noodles. I know... hey! Im sad okay!? 

As i waited for the food to come i decided to take a quick shower. I entered my washroom and started cleaning myself., As i was about to dry off, i heard a knock on my door. 'Well that was quick', i thought. The knocking become a persistent banging so i hurried up and just cover my self with a towel and went to the door.

"I will not give him any tip." I muttured irritatedly to myself. I slightly opened the door to get my food from the annoying delivery man but the man behind is not who i expected, its.....

"ASHER!? OH MY GOD!?" I opened the door widely and jump at the man in front of me! I hugged him tightly while both of my legs are wrapped around his torso. He groaned due to the impact of my weight but hugged me back nonetheless.

"My God Rina! I told you to stop calling me that you tw*t! It's Ashleyyyy... and i miss you too" He sassily said but carries my back, he kissed my temple before letting me go.

"Now now.... before anything else, put some cloths bit*h!! Your not even that sexy." He said while entering my house like he owns it. I ran to my bedroom and dressed. When i got out, i saw Asher sitting on the couch with his feet on the top of the table like his the king of the world. Asher is my friend, he used to live next door, but got promoted from his work and have to relocate in other country which is in korea. He's gay. A gay Diva i tell you. I love this bit*h so much, his also friends with Sarah. We called ourselves 'The Three Bears'coz we can eat like bears. Like LITERALLY can eat like bears.

"So how was korea? Meet a lot of 'oppas'?" I asked him while sitting dowm with him in the couch. I gave him a knowing look while smirking.

"Its fun i guess, i like the culture,the people, i really like it there you know.. as for the oppas your talking about, i meet some, got to mingle with some but... i.

.. what had my attention is...my assistant Joon, he was appointed to me as soon i got there and he's so handsome and sweet. I totally  liked him a lot you know, as you know i'm openly gay so when he throw me mixed signals and craps like that, i fell and girl i fell deep. We haven't really talked about our real relationship, but i can feel there's a mutual understanding between us. Everything is fine until one day i over heard him talking about me with other female employee... she asked him if we have a relationship and..and.. he said it will never happen that i'm just his boss, that he will never have a 'disgusting relationship' with me. Well, he really didn't say "disgusting" i just made it overdramatic." He's now crying so i pulled him into a hug and patted his shoulders. I never saw asher cry coz he's the strongest among us three and seeing him like this right now makes me feel very sad and angry. Anger to the person who caused him pain.

"Ohhh Asher, stop crying baby, everything is going to be fine. You'll find a better person and he'll just be part of your past." I assured him. I can't believe how devastated he looked, i mean i always saw him as the always happy kind of person so him crying into my arms is so overwhelming in a sad way. He stopped crying and i let him go. 

" I hope so... im so heart broken that the next day, i resigned through email and got the first flight back here. I didn't even had a courage to go back to the office to retrieve my things. So im officially unemployed and no where else to go." He said sadly while looking at the floor... wait a minute.... this situation is way too familiar to me.

"Ohh..Ashley honey, your forever welcome here in my house, its not big but we'll make it and enjoy living here together" I gave him a very big smile and hugged him again. 

We were still cuddling on each other when my doorbell rang again. I got up and looked up the door. What faced me is a very cute asian guy. I paid for the food, said thanks to the "cute asian" and serve the food on the coffee table. I wanted to eat in the livingroom and sat on the floor.

I hurried to the kitchen counter to arrange the food. Asher followed me and gasp at what he saw. I rolled my eyes at him, i mean what's the big deal? It's not that many anyways. 

"What the hell Nana! Is these all for you?! Is there any occasion? Where are your guests?Don't tell me....What are you a pig!? And if i didn't come, your going to eat that all! Alone!?" He shouted to me like its a big deal. Duh. 

"No personal questions please. If you want to join me, sit down. If not then shut up." 

" Ofcourse ill join you, i don't want you to die happily without me,." He beamed at me and sat down at the opposite side of the table. Such a weirdo.

We had a small chat while eating. After cleaning everything, we both went to our room. I offered him the small guest room i have. It's small but he said it'll do rather than nothing. I layed in my bed and closed my eyes, not remembering anything about what tommorrow will give me.
