"Won't you take a seat dear?" Says Lewitt towards Margo. She was drenched from last nights rain.
Margo did not utter one word but within seconds she was beside him now. I felt a little jealous about her, Lewitt and her had been together even before they we're turned in. I still wonder if Lewitt harbor some feelings for Margo it pains me to even just think about.
"I'm going out for a bit you guys..." I smiled weakly at them and started for the door. Lewitt didn't try to stop me he just nodded at me and turned to Margo. In silence I slip away from the house, I didn't even know where I was going then but as always I went to the usual place.
Cha-ching!
Nyaaooo!!!
Kiri the white cat sensed me first and got his lazy fat-cat ass off Mister Ling-yuo's counter. I greeted him with open arms and gently stroke his soft fur.
"Hey stupid cat" I said weakly as the cat meowed in happiness. " been a long time...I haven't visited in a long while."
"Meii-chan!!" Yuko's familiar voice made me smile. I turned around to see her carrying a butcher's knife her hands holding to it firmly in happiness.
"Uh~ Yuko-chii might want to put that knife down first before you jump to hug me."
"I-I am so..."
I did not wait for her to come up to me she was shaking so much that I just smiled at her and gave her tight hug.
"I thought you we're dead..."
"Dead?" I raised a brow in disbelief while smiling, " Who said anything about me being dead?"
"Mister Ling said you were"
"That old as--"
Bang!
The door behind the counter banged opened and Mister Ling came out with his usual black pants and turtle neck sweater. The hair from the side of his bald head was disheveled his face was sweaty and he looked as if he just came from a boiler room then from behind him came out a young hooker.
Yuko and I just stared at him in disgust.
"Pedobear!!!" Yuko yelled while gesturing a stay-away-from-me with the knife in the air.
"Ew mister Ling your so-"
"50?!" Ling yelled at the girl while taking out his purse as he grumbled.
The little chinese store was still the same with our boss paying some weird girls to do him, Yuko with her over-acting self while cooking, and Kiri the fat-ass cat that sleeps all day, The only thing missing is the quiet spunk who watches the cash register.
"Ling why did you say I was dead?" I asked.
"Cause you are see you hanging out with that white man."
"Uh- why is that so controversial his just a friend."
"Eh? Meii-chan that wasn't your officialx2 boyfriend?" Yuko stated from behind the counter.
"Officialx2 boyfriend? what the hell..." I laughed, " Yeah its true we sort of live together but its only temporary besides everyone knows I'm suppose to get married with that Sung dude."
"Kyaaa~ Meii-chans fiancee he is sooo~ dreamy!!!"
I laughed at her, " Eh~ Yuko-chii likes Sung-kun does she?" I teased and she blushed furously while directing her embarrasment at Kiri by hugging him.
I missed teasing Yuko and looking at helpless Kiri, I missed them both so much that I started to shed tears of joy. Yuko saw that but she never said anything and just smiled while Kiri was still clawing himself out of Yuko's death grip.
"So why you here dead of night?" Ling asked as he arranged some boxes on the shelves.
"I don't know..."
The store became silent and the only sound that came was from the speeding cars outside.
"Meii-chan is there something wrong?" Yuko came out with bowl of miso soup for me.
"Nothing...its just I seem to be envious of this girl."
"Hah! You chinese woman you don't envy white woman at all!" Ling was starting to annoy me but Yuko and Kiri pitied me. "Look Meii you going to get married soon or one day. Don't know how Sung is they're family pretty evil. Look" he pulled down the cover of his neck and show us a deep scar lines.
"Shit Ling!" I said in deep voice. "They aren't part of what I think they are."
"Think your family doesnt know?" Yuko muttered darkly. "You should be careful from now on since you know now."
"You two...You guys know something about Sung that I--that my parents, my family---They never told me..."
"Just be Careful." Ling said as he went to the back. Yuko went back to the kitchen as well leaving me with Kiri and the miso soup. I sat down in defeat while eating.
I sighed heavily thinking that this was the worst day ever.
