Off to London

"hi uncle and auntie," alyssa greeted as he happpy couple met shayna's parents in the airport.
"alyssa! thank god you're here. we have trouble finding the check in counter," mrs fong said, passing alyssa the tickets.
"don't you worry auntie. i'll get our tickets settled," she replied. mrs. fong smiled back at her.
"why don't i take both of you to eat something at the restaurant over there? dear, you meet us there later after u're done ya?" tyler said. alyssa nodded before walking towards the counters.

after the waitress took their orders, tyler excused himself to go to the gents. however, that was the only excuse he could think of to check on colin. he was a little worried his plan might just fall through.
"where are you now bud?"
"i'm at the airport. we're on the same flight right?" colin asked.
"but you told me you're taking the business class! don't make me pee in my pants ok... i'm playing a very dangerous game here," tyler reminded his best friend.
"i know... you're doing me a great favour. i owe you a million," colin laughed, "i'm really excited, ty. you don't know the amount of exhileration is going through my body."

"oh shut up. you're acting all teenager on me now," tyler laughed, "i'll see you in london then. maybe we'll have secret rendevous at the lavatories!"
"don't be sick ty. sometimes i wonder why you're the one with the stable girlfriend. it doesn't make any sense, especially with your sick mind," colin teased.
"you're no better buddy. hey, i have to entertain your future in-laws. talk to you later."

as colin ended the call, he was smiling from ear to ear. but in his heart, something felt so unsettling. he can't pin point what it is but it was just a feeling he had.
"oh fuck it. i'm going to enjoy myself," he said to himself before checking in.

shayna woke up with a spring in her feet. it was the day she was going to see her parents and her best friend! she ran towards timothy's room and opened the door. she found him sprawled on his bed, only in his hush puppies boxers which were one of his other loves. she tried not to startle him awake as she climbed into the bed beside him.

seeing his serene face warmed her heart. she's been with him more almost eight months now and every single day spent with him was filled with so much fun and love. it was no doubt that timothy loved her to death. he took special care of her every step of the way and though his mother was the most horrible bitch ever to be seen on this earth, timothy still defended shayna all the time.

tammy, his sister was equally great. she helped shayna fit into the british society. everytime they went out shopping together, tammy gave her tips on how to be on top of the game... to be the high class brit chic that everyone wants to be. shayna also realised that tammy's favourite brit chic was victoria beckham... she was even dressing like victoria now. hmm...

finally, shayna gave in to her itchy fingers and started to wrap her arms around timothy's torso. she placed her lips close to his ears and whispered, "timmy... oh timmy..."
timothy grunted and changed his sleeping position.
"timmy... wake up..." shayna called out, shaking him from side to side.

"darling i'm tired... i stayed up late to finish up some work..." timothy groaned as he cuddled shayna into his arms before falling alseep again. shayna giggled a little and kissed his lips.
"i know you slept late but today my parents are finally coming to see me... i can't sleep!" she said excitedly. her eyes lit up and danced in the morning sun.

"just five more minutes please..." timothy grunted again, placing his face straight into a pillow.
shayna whined, "don't be like this... wake up..." timothy just raised up his right plam showing his five fingers. begging for five more minutes of rest.

shayna pulled him our of the pillow and started to kiss his lips. amazingly, for a person who was supposed to be sleeping was kissing her back... and passionately too.
"liar. you're not sleeping," shayna laughed as they pulled away.
"i was... but kissing's better," timothy grinned. shayna rolled her eyes and pushed timothy back into bed.
they laughed and timothy pulled her right back beside him. both of them stared into each other's eyes for a long while.

"you know... you're getting more beautiful as each day passes. I keep falling in love with you over and over again," timothy said frankly.
"oh shut up you sweet tongued boy," shayna said, scrunching her nose.
"i'm serious baby. you mean so much to me... more than you can ever think of. I was a fool to let you go in college. i'm not going to make the same mistake again..." timothy continued. shayna flushed a deep red.

"...that's why i want to marry you," timothy finally finished his sentence. shayna didn't know how to respond. there was silence in the air.

"what's wrong? you don't wanna marry me?"
"oh no no.. it's not that... but i guess it's still too early to talk about marriage," shayna replied. that was the best thing she could come up with.
"well, even if it is too early to say, i want you to know that i'm not in this relationship just for fun. i'm not getting any younger and i want to settle down with the greatest girl on earth in my eyes," timothy cooed.

as they snuggled up in his bed, all shayna could think of now was just one word...


"colin."
