Japanese Model
Julia
"I can help you if you need one," the manly voice said. I turned around to take a clear look at who was speaking to me. What surprised me was his looks. He looked so japanese with his reddish brown dyed hair and teddy bear printed shirt. The way his hair was styled made him looked like a Japanese model. Everywhere about him spelled charming.
"Oh...I lost my way. I could not find the bus-stop to my home at Toa Payoh. Is there any bus-stop nearby?" I answered stupidly without realizing that I am blushing beet red caused by his dashing looks.
"I see! I think you have walked the wrong way miss. There are only terrace houses here...and further up is a condo," he replied while smiling. Man, his smile which showed his pearly white teeth made me felt like fainting. I rarely get interested in guys at all. I felt that Singapore guys usually thought that they are naturally handsome, narcissistic and are quite spoilt in terms of personality. This thought woke me up from my slumber of his looks and brought me back to earth. "He might be the same as any guys after all," I thought to myself.
"That is terrible. I have walked a terrible long way!" I cried in exasperation. The fact that it was already 1230 AM the next day made me felt more hopeless. "So I have to walk back to where I came from and refigure the way out again? Do you know of any bus-stop nearby?" I asked him.
"I think you have to walk back to the street opposite novena square and turn right in the north direction and walked straight. There are a row of bus-stops there. I do not think it will be safe for you to walk there alone though. Do not always assume that Singapore is always safe." He spoke while expressing a worried look.
"I guess you are right. I think I must walk back to where I came from and take a taxi then. That will be so expensive." I frowned. Meanwhile, I also realized that I have also missed the last bus of the bus-stop that I intended to board anyways.
"I can walk with you. I do not think it is safe for you to walk alone. Trust me, I am not a pervert." He offered while smiling attractively again.
"Sure. Thanks for your offer!" I smiled back. We then started walking towards the direction from where I came from.
"What's your name by the way?" He asked me while walking. "Julia Ng, just call me Julia," I replied casually. "How about you?" I asked. "My name is Zheng Hong, however, just call me Red. My friends usually just call me that." Red replied with his eye captivating smile. If he kept smiling this way to me, I might lost my sanity.
He told me that he was on his way home from buying supper at Novena Square. Meanwhile, I told him that I just ended work from Novena Square's Times bookshop."We reached!! Thanks Red for your help." I smiled. "Wait, I should help you flag a taxi first," he offered and started to wave his hand on the road. Finally a taxi came and I said my goodbye to him before I left. I felt a little sad that we didn't really leave any form of contact for each other to keep in touch. But, he was just a stranger whom happened to help me and I am not that desperate to get into any boys' good books.
Upon reaching home, I realized my parents were asleep. I guessed they trusted that I will be home somehow and I worried for nothing. I bathed and went to bed.
Red
Seeing her left safely made my heart at ease. I was stunned to see a gorgeous lady when she turned to face me. Her dyed brown hair, fair features, minimal makeup and dewy eyes made her look like an korean actress. I have never seen someone so captivating before. All of my past girlfriends did not make my heart flutters like she does. Even though, I only had two girlfriends despite being 27 years old this year. Her lost look made my heart soften towards her. I am glad that I managed to be of help and got to know more about her.
My supper has gotten cold...I thought. But it was worth it, to meet such a sweet lady as Julia. Her smile made my mind stopped for that instant. I felt like the time machine had just halted. I felt like I am in love again. Wait. Maybe I am just having a slight crush on her.
"Oh man!" I groaned upon realizing that I forgot to ask her for her handphone number when I see her left. How absent minded I am. Now I lose a perfect chance to get to know her more. Maybe, I will meet her again if fate allows. I finished my supper and went to bed feeling downcasted.
