Mark Of The Destiny

In his pursuit of convincing Suyin to talk to him, James didn't realize when he forgot his own problems… Maybe he just needed a kick that would push him ahead. Unknowingly Suyin became that kick.

Two months passed, but the 'girl on the bench' didn't buzzed. But surprisingly, neither she dissed him nor she stopped coming, leaving a faint hope for James.

Following his daily routine, one day when he went there, the green bench was vacant.

His heart sank! The thought of never seeing his motivation bored hole into his entire being. Desperately he looked around, asked the vendors but none saw her.

Feeling dejected, he had just sat down on the bench, holding a box of a new dish he tried when a tap on his shoulder jolted him. He looked up and saw his inspiration 'girl on the bench' standing in yellow, like a ray of sunshine.

But having come to believe the only reason he was following her was to have s.e.x with her, she gave a straight forward reply, "I'm not interested to sleep with you. Look for someone else,"

"Neither do I. For your information, I'm gay," Determined. Irrevocable. Binding. Not until he declined her firmly, giving his own valid reason that he saw a change in her expression.

When she didn't reply for a long time, he assumed it was the end. Who'd want a person like him in their life? But…

"What did you cook today? It smells good," Just when he turned to leave he heard her voice.

That was it… That was when they finally connected and became buddies for life. This was the relationship they'd been looking for in their life and found it in an amus.e.m.e.nt park.

You get life in strange places!

Suyin was the sister from another mother that God gave him…. and he'd make sure to be her constant support.

"Jammie…."

James leaned forward to place a kiss on her forehead, her eyes fluttered by his abrupt kiss…

*SMACK*

"Ow…."He covered his cheek that was now stinging by a sudden slap from the fierce woman.

"IDIOT! EMOTIONAL FOOL! This is the reason why Evan did this to you. How many times do I've to remind you to control your emotions?" She pushed him on the bed forcefully, trying to tug him with a blanket, "Sleep. Otherwise I'll tell Evan you kissed me again. Do you want that?"

Seeing James shaking his head like a rattle drum she controlled her laughter, and rubbed his stinging cheek, "Sleep. I'll scold Evan for you."

"Yes… tell him, next time I'll be on top."

"ARGH….. JAMIE…. SLEEP YOU BASTARD…."

"Goodnight, Susu…."

*****

The next morning dawned with clouds that dominated the sky leaving patches of blue and grey, suggesting that rain may play a part in the day to come. Before leaving for office she checked on James once more, prepared breakfast, wore her uniform with white blazer this time, and rushed out leaving a sticky note at James's forehead.

[Taking your car. Don't forget to take medicine.]

Though it was an important day where she'd be making an appearance at the press conference, her attitude was a lot relaxed. Qi Industries and Hui Guozhi don't have any proof against her, the only way with which they can save themselves was to plant fake pieces of evidence but she's already prepared for that.

However, she had only driven a short distance when she noticed a familiar yellow car had blocked the road ahead and many people had come forward to help it push to the side to clear the blockage.

It was Wang Shi's car!

She will never forget this color!

Her gaze drifted to the tall man who alighted from the car and thanked everyone who helped him. Which rich man does that? He had folded the sleeves of his shirt up to the elbow, showing the fine line of veins…. So manly, s.e.xy, and unrelenting power.

His biceps shaped perfectly in his pristine white shirt, his wide back and shoulder muscles shook her equilibrium as always. And why the hell he was wearing jeans today, showcasing his long legs that stretches to a mile. It's a crime! It's a crime to wear jeans when you are this hot!

She licked her dry lips seeing him take out a handkerchief from pocket to wipe the sweat. Wow… he looked so hot even while wiping sweat!?

*BEEP BEEP BEEP*

"F*ck. Ya… ya….moving… moving….stop honking…." She paid a last glance at Wang Shi with no intention to help him but frowned seeing the three kids sitting inside, dressed in school uniform.

That Honey boy was also there with his two cute cousins!

Damn! Kids are her weakness! Human puppies!

But no! She won't go. It's decided she's going to ignore him… them.

Hesitating for a moment, she turned the steering wheel of her black Ferrari to pass by Wang Shi and not help him.

But due to slow traffic Yuyu and Lan saw her in the car, and shouted in excitement. "Pretty sister, pretty sister," Their voices caught Wang Shi's attention, he looked at the direction girls were pointing at and saw Suyin.

He frowned when she doesn't look at their direction even once.

'Does she really not know about them or is pretending?'

*RING*

Without even looking at the phone Suyin knew who was calling her. If she answers it she would be in trouble, and if she doesn't she would be making herself clear that she's avoiding Wang Shi.

Suyin, "Hello,"

Wang Shi, "I thought everything was fine when you said you won't take anything to heart,"

"I-It's true,"

"If it's true then pull your car to the side,"

"Huh?"

"The black Ferrari… pull over,"

"…."

Sighing in defeat, she did.

The three kids looked over curiously. Other than Honey, the two girls showed their sweetest smile, melting Suyin's heart like ice-cream as she opened up the roof of the car and pretended. "Hello, Dr. Wang,"

Wang Shi silently looked at her, then directed his gaze to her foot, "So you're one of those patients who never pay attention to the doctor's advice?"

"…" 'Are we going to talk about this?'

"But, I'm not wearing heels."

"Driving involves footwork. You shouldn't drive as well,"

"…"

"How about walking, sitting, dancing, sleeping, eating, talking, breathing and lots of 'ing'"

Wang Shi "…."

"Hm…. Other than dancing, you're free to do any of this. Especially breathing, it's good for health,"

"…"

Her lips pursed into a thin line, "Why did you ask me to pull over?"

"Bad acting."

"It's not,"

"So you accepted its acting!?"

"…"

Wang Shi glanced at the kids once. To be precise, he looked over to see Honey's reaction, which by all means was as if he had eaten a bitter gourd in breakfast.

"I've called for another car but it will take at least thirty minutes. I'm sure you're going for a press conference; help me drop the kids to school. It's on the way," Instead of waiting for her reply he waved at the expecting kids as he pulled open the car door of driver's seat, "Scoot to the passenger seat. I'm driving."

"But…."

"Two reasons. One, being your doctor, I can't allow you to be careless of your injury. Second, it's for kids' safety as driving is risky with half functioning ankle."

"…."

"My ankle is fully functioning," She stared down at Wang Shi in disbelief who was standing like a rock, determined to not let her drive. What a difficult situation it was!? She wanted to stare at him longer but was afraid of her poor heart that was going gaga over this ball of hotness.

Human puppies came complimentary!

"Hello, Pretty sister," Lan hopped onto the back seat,

"Hello. Don't mind. I'm yet to decide what to call you" Yuyu joined followed by Honey who treated her presence like air and didn't say a word. It was already embarrassing for him to take her help. "Honey bro, you didn't wish,"

Suyin "…" 'No need,'

Upon getting no response, Yuyu and Lan looked over and saw him with closed eyes.

Yuyu, "Honey bro!? Stop acting, I know you're not sleeping because you sleep with open mouth and drool,"

"….."
