Chapter 3
Just a friend?
Finally, it was their first day at the office, Chun had on a really nice black suit over his light blue long sleeves with his hair curved down while Ella had on her long sleeve (coat) thin gray suit over her matching above knee length skirt. Since she never really wore high heels she wasn’t really used to them. Luckily Chun told her to hang on to his arm for support or else she wouldn’t be able to make it through the office hall.
“Okay, this is your office.” Tang said as he opened the door to a really big room with a couch (sofa) on the far left one desk in the back center of the room and another desk on the right corner.
“Why are there two desks in here?” Ella ask.
“Well.. that’s your desk.. I figured (build) since you don’t want the whole office staring at you.. You guys can stare (watch) at each other all day. “ Tang smiled.
“Gee.. “ she expressed with sarcasm “What a great surprise.”
Soon two people walked behind Tang each holding a folder.
“This is Jiro Wang and Ariel Lin.. Both my secretaries.” he said.
“Why do you have two?!” Chun asked as he smiled at Ariel. “I only have one.. And its Her!” he continued pointing at Ella.
“You have Ella.. She’s a smart woman.. “ Tang replied.
“You mean Clumsy (inelegant)..”
“What?” Ella asked staring at Chun.
“I’m sure you two will do fine.. Good luck on the first day… have a tour or something.. I don’t know.. “ Tang said.
Tang left the office and told his two secretaries to give the new comers a tour around the office.
“Its really nice to see you again “ Ariel smiled shyly at Chun.”
“Same here.. “ he replied.
“Hi Ms. Chen, I’m Jiro Wang. but you can call me Jiro. I’m really Happy to meet you here today” Jiro said cheerfully.
“You should just call me Ella, I’m not really used to being called Ms. Chen.” she replied.
At this point, Ella’s hand was still using Chun’s arm for support which made them look like they were walking really close together. Chun can see that Ariel was uncomfortable when she looks over at Ella.
“Come on Ella.. You can’t hold on to my arms forever!” He whispered. “I’m sure you can walk right now.”
“You’re the one who told me to use to arms for support.. And now your turning on me?!” she whispered back.
“Just.. Try walking I’m sure you’ll be fine!”.. he softly said.
“Fine!.. I don’t need your stupid arms anyways!”
She let go of Chun’s arm and tried to continue walking but since she wasn’t used to the heels she walked forward slowly.
“Stupid Chun.. “ she mumbled (speak softly) to herself. “Stupid Chun, Stupid Chun, Don’t ever ask me for help again! Trying to be a gentleman but when pretty girls come you forget about friendship!.. Err! You dumb stupid Cookie!”
“Hey.. “ Jiro called tapping her shoulder.. “Are you okay.. Your walking kind of slow.”
Ella smiled and realized that Chun and Ariel already went back.
“I’m doing fine.. Just taking my time.. “She said. “I’m going to go back now..”
“I’ll walk you back “ he smiled.
They both walked back to the office and stopped in front of the door.. By now Ella’s ankles were red and swollen.
“I can go on from here.. Thank you Jiro “ she said and walked in the room and shut the door behind her. Not to her surprise, Chun was sitting on his desk just looking at her. She just walked in and sat on her desk turning her back at Chun and took off her shoes. Chun walked over and saw her red swollen ankles and felt guilty for what he did.
“Hey.. “ he said poking (push) her shoulder..
“Don’t talk to me!” replied Ella..
He continued to call her but no response.. He hates it whenever Ella gets mad at him because she uses something that he cant stand from her.. The silent treatment..
“Cookie….” he continued calling, he got down in front of her and lifted her feet up to see her ankles..
“Ow!!”
“Sorry Sorry Sorry! I’m really sorry.. “ he said.
But that didn’t make Ella any less mad she used the feet he lifted and kicked him back and once again turned her back on him and read off any papers she had on her desk. Chun went back to his desk and sat down trying to find ways to get Ella to talk to him.. After 30 minutes of no communication in the room Chun started throwing little papers at her desks inside every little notes was a picture of a cookie with the words “I’m sorry smart cookie” written in it. Ella picked up the papers, shook her head slowly and laughed at the dumb cookie sitting across from her.
They both looked at each other smiling to themselves and he knew that everything was going to be just fine again.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After hours of being in the office, Ella decided to stretch around. “I’m going to get some coffee.. Want some?” she asked.
“Can you walk?” he asked concerned about her swollen ankles..
“I’ll be fine.. Just need more practice I guess “ she replied looking at her ankles. She left to go get some coffee and felt really awkward as if the whole office was looking at her, but she paid no mind to it and continued her journey for coffee.
“Here you go Mr. Wu.. Coffee with no cream and light sugar.” she smiled.
“ Thanks” he replied.. “oh and I want to ask a favor..”
“Okay..” she said before placing her coffee down on his desk.
“I want to take Ariel out for dinner..” he smiled weakly… “tonight..”
Ella sighed at the favor he was asking her because after all.. He was her ride home..” okay fine I’ll go ask your brother for a ride..”
“Yay! Your awesome!” he cheered jumping up and ran to her but accidentally tripped over the trashcan next to his desk and fell down.. And what’s worse was that he dragged her down with him causing her to fall on top of him… instead of helping Ella get up by pushing her off.. Chun slowly held both her shoulders and pulled her body down as his face was going up.. They slowly got closer and closer until they felt their nose touch.. And followed by that touch was a shocking feeling. Ella quickly shook her head and pushed herself up.
“Uh.. I…” he stuttered..” I’m.. sorry.. “
“Yeah.. Its. Uh…”
“You see the.. Uh… “he continued dumbly pointing at the trashcan.. Then the floor. “.. yeah..”
“Hey Chun!” Tang yelled barging in the room..” I…whoa.. Are you guys okay?”
Tang looked at the both of their faces red as a tomato and raised one eye brow..” Did I miss something?” he asked.
“Tang…goo..good to see you “ Ella said "lets go back to your office!” and with that said, Ella dragged Tang out the door and back to his office.. And seated him on his chair.
“What’s wrong kid?” he asked.
“Can I get a ride today?” innocently smiling as she tries to get the image of her being on top of Chun.
“Okay.. But aren’t you getting a ride with Chun?”
“He’s uh.. Having some plans..” she replied. “ so great.. Wait for me after work and uh.. Ride.. Yeah”
She quickly left the room and into the bathroom. “Oh gosh what was I thinking?!” she said to herself “ Wait.. What was HE thinking?!.. Were we even thinking?!”
------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Chun I’m so glad you asked me out to dinner.” Ariel smiled.
“I’m really happy you agreed.. “
“It’s been really nice meeting you.” she continued. “ So.. How come I’ve never seen you at your brothers house before?”
“That’s because I just came back from America and I’ve only been back here for about a week..” he said. “ listen Ariel.. There’s something I need to tell you..”
“What is it?”
“Ever since I saw you at the café .. I really couldn’t stop thinking about you…” he admitted.. “an image of you is always going through my mind..”
“What about your girlfriend?” she asked shyly..
“My what?”
“Ella Chen.. isn’t she your girlfriend?”
“God no…” he answered.. “I can assure (swear ) you she’s not..”
“You guys seem so close and your brother did say that you guys are childhood friends.. “
“She’s more of a sister than a friend..” he said.. “actually more of a little brother.”
“Why’s that?” Ariel softly laughed.
“Well.. She’s not really feminine like you.. She’s more like a guy.. But she is one great friend.. “ he said. “Look Ariel.. I know it may not seem like it.. But me and her are just really good buddies.. And.. I..”
“You what?”
“I really like you…” he continued slowly placing his hand on top of hers.
Ariel can really tell that he was telling her the truth.. Which made her very happy because she was indeed.. Falling for him..

Today I try to find animal footstep for my assignment. I only find a little.

Chapter 4
Poor Ella :[
“Hey Ella, Are you busy today?” Chun asked.
Ella was on her desk typing on her computer and reading documents.. She was a little upset that he didn’t spend that much time with her like he used to.. But she didn’t really blame because after all.. The girlfriend is always more important than the best friend right? I mean.. its an unwritten rule. “That depends.. What do you need from me?” she asked.
“Well.. Since Ariel has some plans today, I thought maybe me and you can hang out tonight.”
“So.. Meaning if Ariel didn’t have plans, today would be like any other day” she said. “WHERE I HAVE TO GET A RIDE FROM YOUR BROTHER?!.
“I’m really sorry.. I really want to hang out with you..”
“Fine I guess its better than nothing right?” she said.
“Good I’ll meet you in front of the movies at 8” he replied. “I have some more documents I have to finish.”
“Okay that’s fine.”
Although Ella agreed without taking her eyes off her computer, she was really happy that he wasn’t totally ignoring her or forgetting about her.. It means he still cares right?.. After work ends Ella went home, took a shower, and got ready for the movies at 8. “Uncle.. I might be home a little late so don’t wait up okay?” she said.
“Where are you going? And who with?”
“To the movies with Chun” she replied.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chun was in his office still and it was 30 minutes til 8, but he had completely lost all track of time due to the fact that he had too many documents. Later out of nowhere, Ariel walked in the room and surprised him.
“I thought you had plans tonight..” Chun said as he gave her a kiss on the cheek.
“I wanted to surprise you” she said. “You said last time you wanted to cook for me right?”
“Oh right!.. “ he exclaimed (shout). “Okay I’m done.. Lets go back to my house and I’ll cook.”
He scooted all documents aside and left the office with Ariel forgetting the fact that he had Ella waiting for him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While with Ella, it was 20 past 8 but Chun was nowhere to be found. It was a cold and chilli night and somehow Ella continued to wait.. For 2 whole hours she continue to wait alone in front of the movies as people walked past her one by one. She flipped over her watch.. “oh god 10 o’clock?!.. Chun Wu I hate you..” she thought to herself.
As she got up and walk back home rain started to poor on her… “ oh you have got to be kidding me!” she cried. She decided to walk home, of what took about 30 minutes seemed like hours to her.. She was mad.. Upset.. And soaked( covered with water ) to her feet.. She finally walked into the neighborhood but instead of walking into her own house, she marched (walk) into Chun’s house.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
“Well how’s my food?” Chun asked.
“It’s pretty good..”
“Hey Chun!” Tang called.
“What’s up?”
“Did you see Ella today?” Tang asked. “Her uncle called because he thought she was here since she said she was going to be at the movies with you.. He just wanted to make sure she‘s okay cause its raining pretty hard outside..”
“Ella isn…..” he paused and dropped everything he had in his hand.. “OH MY GOD ELLA.. I HAD TO….”
Chun was interrupted with the view of Ella standing in front of the doorway (entrance) soaking wet.
“Ella?!” Tang yelled and ran inside and got a towel..
Chun ran up to Ella and grabbed (take)the towel Tang had in his hand and tried to wrap (cover) it around her.. But she grabbed the towel back and threw it on the floor.. If Chun really forgot about her because of work.. She wouldn’t mind him at all.. But at the sight of Ariel in the kitchen with him cooking… “He forgot about his friend that he knew for 15 years for this?” she thought to herself.
“Ella.. I’m really sorry” he said attempting to wrap the towel around her again.. But no help, she still grabbed that towel and threw it back on the floor..
“Don’t even try to apologize…” she said coldly.. “Congratulations Mr. Chun Wu.. You’re the first person to make me feel like a complete idiot!.” She continued, pushed his hands away from her and left his house.
“Ella! Ella!” Chun yelled running after her..
As he tries to catch up to her, she ran inside her house ,up into her room, and locked the door..
“Ella! I’m sorry I’m sorry!” he said over and over.
Chun wanted to stay there until she stops being mad at him but he was forced home by her uncle.. “I think its better if you give her time..” her uncle said.
Chun left and since Ariel felt bad for what happened she decided to catch a cab and left before Chun got back home.
The next day at the office, Ella went back to work with an unsatisfying mood.. She really didn’t want to go.. But she really didn’t want to take some days off since she just started working. She left home early and took a cab to work because she didn’t want to ride with Chun. Chun came in with a teddy bear and a bag of gummi bears. But nothing worked.. He went back to his desk and stared her way with puppy eyes. To avoid his looks, Ella gathered all of her documents and piled (mountain) them up to block Chun’s view.
“Cookiee..” he called out sweetly.. “Smart Cookiee..”
“Do not talk to me Mr. Wu.. I’m doing my job” She replied without taking her eyes off of her work.
Once again.. The little notes started.. But instead of looking at them and smiling, she threw them all away without even looking at them afterwards, she gather all her work and left the office.
“Where are you going?!” he asked but too late.. The door was already closed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Hi Ella!” Jiro said from his desks.
“Hi”
“Are you okay now Ella?” Ariel asked. “I’m really sorry about yesterday.. I really didn’t know”
“Its okay.. Its not your fault..” she replied. “Is Tang in there?”
“Yeah.. Let me tell him you’re here.. “ Jiro said.
“Its okay” she said and made her way inside the room and closed the door behind her.
------------------------------------------------
“Why are you here.. In my office.. With work?!” Tang asked.
Ella pouted and sat across from his desk. “Let me work here!”
“But your Chun’s secretary.. Not mine “ he replied and pointed towards the door. “You see out there? I already have two!”
“Ah-choo!” she sneezed. This made Tang feel sorry for her because it was Chun’s fault and he did treated her like a sister.
“Okay fine you can work her..” he said. “but if Chun
comes in.. your on your own got it?”
“Got it dude(guy)” she said holding her thumbs up.
