The two had their dinner with just as Asher had in mind. Bianca was not allowed to walk around, but she could tell Asher what to do next after every other step. She had some food prepared for the weekend, and he only needed to heat them, so it wasn't as tricky as cooking the whole meal from scratch. That night they shared an early dinner with frolicsomeness. "Honey, please have the first bite," Asher spooned the braised beef short ribs. It was a Korean recipe Bianca introduced to Asher as Galbi jjim. But this dish is a bit spicy. "And tell me how my skills do," he proudly added. "Oh, so do we rate your skills for heating the food now?" Bianca replied with a playful shocked face. Then she placed a spoon for Asher as well. "You should try how it tastes first. You might be bragging something you yourself may not like to eat," Bianca subtly warned him. "I am very proud of my heating skills, no worries," he did not let her win.
Bianca must have felt numb being in the same position for a long time. She stretched her body and wanted to lay flat on her back, but she felt something poking her tailbone. She looked behind her and saw a still-deep-asleep Asher. Bianca tried to wag a hand in front of Asher to see if his eyes would move, they didn't. His breathing was normal, and he was really asleep. "But why is his lower head awake?" Bianca mischievously whispered to herself. She tried her best not to wake him up. She was contemplating what to do. Shall she stay and pretend to be asleep or move and get up? She checked the digital clock on her bedside table. But it was only six in the morning. They went to bed before seven last night. She tried the first idea. But her body started to ache. She needed to change her position! The only choice left was to roll over and lay flat on her stomach. Asher felt her move, and he s
"Hello, Sir," Bianca greeted Ray Collins when they met him at the garden wedding party. "Well, hello, my dear!" Ray Collins was so happy to see a rare beauty along with his known to be casanova of a son. The girl was tall and finessed. She even talks sweetly with her timid-like personality. Ray Collins could not hide his enthusiasm. He gently squeezed Bianca's hands as they exchanged a handshake. "Dad, this is Bianca Han, my fiancee. Bianca, he is my dad, Ray Collins," Asher introduced the two. "Nice to meet you, Sir. I have heard a lot about you," Bianca smiled as she recalled how this loving father of Asher had been arranging blind dates for his son. "I just hope they're not one of my son's bad-mouthing of me you have heard of," Ray glared at his son, who was also smiling. "Of course not. I only tell her everything that is true," Asher bashfully retorted. "Tell me, sweet
The flight took almost fifteen hours as they chose to have a non-stop one to reach home as soon as possible. They left New York around three in the afternoon, and they arrived before her parents' usual time for breakfast in South Korea. The moment they stepped on the ground at the airport, Bianca made a call. "Appa, na waseoyo." [Dad, I'm here.] She paused to listen to her dad's reply. Asher was so nervous, but he tried to keep himself calm. "Pegupa jukkeseo." [I'm starving.] "Argeosseoyo, chinggurang katchi waseoyo. Ung... Itta bwayo." [Okay, I'm here with a friend. Uhmmm see you in abit.] Then she looked at Asher. To her surprise, he was looking pale and scared. "They are waiting for us for breakfast. I suggest you calm down, or you might get constipated," Bianca teased him. Asher could not help laughing with her. He thought he was doi
Her dad did not stand from his seat, so as her mom. But Bianca's mood did not change. She was like a little girl who had just come back from kindergarten after a day of activities. She ran to her dad's side and, with him in his seat, sat up straight. Without a smile on his face, Bianca hugged him from his side. "Appa, na watteoyo,"[Dad, I'm here (in a childlike tone)] Bianca playfully greeted her dad before she kissed his cheek to her side. Bobby Han cleared his throat. His eyes never leaving Asher's face with a stern gaze. Asher's nervousness augmented. He didn't know what to do. He cannot blame Bianca for being excited to see her parents and forgetting him, so he was pinned to his feet. He was thankful when Bianca's mom noticed him and warmly welcomed Asher to the table. "Young man, come and join us for breakfast," Bianca's mom stood up from her seat to guide Asher where to sit. "Dad, Mom, this is
As the youngsters would only be around for a minimal time, Bobby and Shin Ji decided to spend the day with them. They toured around the company, and during a meeting, Bobby Han introduced Asher Collins as his daughter's fiance. They also made sure the media got the word to spread about Bianca visiting her parents with her fiance. Sue Jin, who did not know Bianca was back home, was still in New York the whole time the media was extending warm greetings of congratulations to the well-respected and famous name in the industry, the Han family. With the Collins' team of lawyers, they have filed a criminal case against Sue Jin. The authorities moved in haste as they could not let the criminal exit the country before she was cleared from the lawsuit that was filed against her. They searched her possible whereabouts. Issued an order at every airport to hold her, in case she tried to leave the country. With all resources and with favors asked fro
The next day at the airport, before Asher and Bianca boarded the plane back to New York. "We will try to arrange our schedules and fly after you," Bobby Han embraced his daughter then his future son-in-law as he and Shin Ji Yoon sent them to their flight after breakfast that Tuesday morning. The two men did not sleep until now, ever since last night, as they enjoyed each other's company while the mother and daughter tried to keep up with them but ended up cuddling in their sleep in the cozy living room in an oversized chaise lounge chair. Bianca missed her mom's embrace, and she felt the familiar warmth of cuddling together until they could no longer hold their sleepiness and dozed off after a good share of laughter and talk. Asher and Bobby shared the same emotion looking at the two lovely ladies of their lives. The queens of their hearts. The ones they wish to spend the rest of their lives with. "Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Mom," Asher hugged the two elders with so much respect
Caught It was a fine Saturday late in the morning. The cleaners just left. Kate’s mom, Kelly, went to get her full massage at a spa downtown. No one was home but Kate. She was texting with her boyfriend, Andrew Kindberg. Andrew: “Hey, babe, what are you doing?” Kate: “Nothing. But I’m about to do my homework, and I’m not joking when I say there is a ton of them on my desk right now.” Kate sighed. She is in her last year in high school, and she also goes to a private tutorial academy to help her prepare for college entrance exams. Andrew: “Oh my poor baby, do you want me to come over and help you?” Andrew was hoping Kate would agree. He needs to bed her soon to win the bet he and his friends made about Kate being a virgin. He needs to prove he is right to think she is. And he is sure she will have virginal blood, which he can take a snapshot of and show her friends for evidence and claim his prize. Kate is very feminine in her every action and personality. She is finessed and
