Chapter 15
Taylor was surprise to see that Nee took him to an empty park just down the streets from her house. He thought she would have taken him somewhere romantic or something but spending some alone time with Nee was good enough. Plus she was in a good mood.
“This is where you want us to spend our date?” he asked, his eyes wandering around.
“Yeah. What did you expect?”
Taylor sat down on the green grass next to Nee as she lies down to look up at the stars. Nee took Taylor by surprise since he thought she was those goody-too-shoes girls where they were afraid to get dirty. He smiled at her with adoration.
“Why are you staring at me like that?” she asked.
Taylor smiled, “You’re not who I thought you would be.”
“Is that a good thing or a bad thing?”
“Good. You know I thought you were those pretty girls who are afraid to get dirty but you’re lying here on a wet grass with a beautiful dress on…..impressive"
“Nee smiled, “I may have a pretty face but I’m definitely not those kind of girls…but you seem like a pretty boy yourself.”
Taylor chuckled, “Oh! I am so not a pretty boy!”
“Oh yeah? Why don’t you lie down next to me then?”
“I will….”
Nee laughed as Taylor laid down next to her. The two stared up into the stars, neither of them said a word. Taylor would glance back at Nee every now and then, watching her as she closes her eyes and he would stare right back up at the sky.

Min walked out the movie theatre laughing at Om as he follows behind. She was laughing at how scared he was while watching Let Me In.
“It isn’t funny.”
Min held her laugh in, “Sorry but you should have seen the look on your face when that kid popped out of nowhere and you scooted up on your seat!”
“Okay I admit I’m not a fan of scary movies especially with kids involved but you were scared too. At one point in the movie, you even grabbed my hands.”
“I’m a girl though!” Min pouted defending herself. “It’s normal for girls like me but you…” Min laughed even more. “That’s a different story…”
“Fine, laugh all you want but next time, I’m choosing a movie that will scare the crap out of you…”
Min smiled, “Okay…but you sure you won’t get scared?”
Om stayed quiet and continued walking ahead. Min thought teasing Om was fun but cute in a way. She always liked it when he pouted. He looked pretty cute, like a little boy. And the only way to make him happy again was ice cream.
Om went to sit at a table outside the arcade and looked back and didn’t see Min anywhere in sight.
“Ice cream?” Min asked.
Om turned around and was surprise to see Min get his favorite, Double Chocolate Chip Mint flavor. Of course Min knew what his favorite flavor was, she dated him once.
“I didn’t tell you to get ice cream.”
“I know but you’re mad at me so I bought you ice cream to make it up.”
Om half smiled and turned away, “Who said I was mad at you?”
“Oh come on, you’re pouting like a boy because I made fun of you. I’m sorry and I know ice cream will make you feel better.”
Om paused and turned to face Min, “How’d you know about that?”
“I know because I dated you once duh” Min said to herself. “Lucky guess, I guess….”
Om smiled and took the ice cream, “Well thank you though.”
They continued to walk and at some point in time, Om didn’t hesitate to take Min’s hand and grasped it with his. Min didn’t like that idea much but at the same time, she liked it. They continue to learn more and more about each other and the more Min told more about herself, the more Om was attracted to her. Some how her stories reminded him of the Min he made fun of back in high school. And even though Min already knows stuff of him, there were some stuff that made her look at him in a different way, a good way.

Taylor walked Nee to the door of Parn’s apartment later that night. Nee thanked him for everything he did for her at her mom’s dinner party and apologized for falling asleep on him at the park.
“It’s okay” Taylor assured her. “I had fun watching you. You sleep like a doll.”
“I wasn’t snoring right?”
Taylor laughed, “No…that would be interesting to watch though.”
“Well…thank you though and sorry again for ruining the date.”
“It’s okay…..”
“Well, good night then.”
“Good night……”
Nee walked in all smiles and found Khem laying on the couch, looking sick, “Are you okay?” she asked. “And what are you doing up so late? Where‘s Parn?”
“Parn went to sleep and I was waiting for you guys to come home. How was the dinner party?”
Nee took off her shoes and went to sit on the couch, “Not so well. Mom didn’t like the idea that Taylor’s my boyfriend because we’re different nationalities. But whatever, it’s my life, my decision.”
“So you and Taylor stayed there all night?”
Nee shook her head, “No. We left early and we went to a park and I fell asleep there…”
“Well that’s a good way to ruin a date…”
Nee laughed, “Yeah but I felt really bad though….you know I have to admit Taylor is actually a nice guy, very down to earth, and funny too. He’s not annoying like I thought he’d be.”
Khem gave Nee a blank stare. She couldn’t believe Nee actually said nice things about him, “You serious?”
“Yup….so how was your date with Mr. Kellan?”
Khem rolled her eyes, “Don’t even get me started“
“That sound bad…”
“….so I took Parn’s advice if we wanted to chase those guys away, we have to push their buttons and that’s what we did. We went to dinner and me and Parn ate like piggies! FULL ON PIGGIES! We did what every man hates in a woman and they were disgusted by it. After dinner, Parn and Sukol went their own way, while me and Kellan hung out. So I wanted to tease him a little by taking him shopping, by making him pay all of it and carry all the bags…”
Nee looked around the living room, “So that explains these shopping bags.”
Khem nodded, “Yeah…..”
“So you just asked him if he could pay for you?”
“No, I just pretended that I forgot my wallet at home….”
Nee shook her head, “Khem you are so mean. You made him pay and carry your bags?”
Khem shrugged, “Hey…..he wanted to get to know me, well this is me…”
“Don’t you think you’re being a little unfair. The guy just wants to get to know you and you’re showing him the wrong side of you….”
“Boy, what the heck did Taylor did to you tonight?”
Nee laughed, “Nothing. But I’m serious….you should give him a chance……”
“I don’t think that will happen…”
“Why would you say that?”
“Well….after we shopped, I threw up on him. In the car. On the way home. He seemed pretty mad.”
“Wow….did you even apologize?”
“Of course….but it seemed like he ignored me cu he was too busy wiping his shirt…..so yup, that was my unforgettable date ever……in a bad way and in a good way.”
Nee yawned, “Well I’m gonna hit the shower and sleep. You coming?”
“No you go ahead. I’m gonna wait up for Min…”
“Okay…nighty night…”
“Night….”
Just as Nee went to her room, Min came in with the same emotions Nee had earlier.
“You seemed like you had fun on your date” Khem teased. “How was it anyways for you to come home this late?”
Min thought back to her date with Om. From watching a movie together to eating ice cream and sharing laughter and stories, she had a fun time, “It was okay…” she answered.
“Just okay? Not awesome or even great.”
“Why would you think I had an awesome or great time?”
“Because the look on your face. It was the same look Nee had when she first walked in.”
Min shrugged, “That doesn’t mean anything. I’m just happy that my plan is working. I can feel he’s falling for me…”
“And what about you? Are you falling for him too?”
Min dodged that question by yawning. Pretending of course. She headed for the stairs, “I’m so tired…I’m gonna go to sleep.”
Khem knew she was faking it, “You can lie to anyone Min but you can’t lie to yourself” she called after her.
After everyone went to bed, Khem laid on the couch thinking of what Nee told her earlier. Was she being too mean and unfair? Kellan can be annoying at times but he showed her that he is willing to do anything for the person he cares about. And paying all her stuff and carrying all her bags just shows that he cares for her.
“I wonder if he’s really mad at me for throwing up on him?” she asked herself.
