The Best I Ever Had

Moments in your Gravity

"So, it has just beef stock, wine and a mountain of onion? What's so great about that?" Tan was commenting about Ratee's favorite soup.

"I hate cutting up onions." I said conversationally "It always makes me cry."

"There's a certain element in onions that irritates our eyes." Bow said.

"Element of surprise." I said trying to hold my laughter.

"I think it starts with the letter X, I can't remember" Ying added.

"Well, all 'X's really make you cry." Lingling interjected with a straight face.

I finally glanced at Lingling and we burst out laughing.

Terrible twins that's what they dubbed Lingling and I a few years ago.

Inherently, Lingling is an introvert. She could go on days without human contact. Tan and Bow were the exceptions at first "I couldn't shake them off since highschool" is what she usually joked. While Tan and Bow were busy bodies, Lingling brings the calm in their trio.

When they went to the same university, Tan took up Tourism while Bow took up Biology with the intention of going to Medical School. They were telling us that they were shocked when Lingling also took up Tourism as they thought she was studying Biology with Bow since she had the best grades out of the three. What the two don't know was Lingling wanted to become a flight attendant and travel the world one flight at a time. She said people always tell her she's got the height and the looks so why not. On their Junior Year of university, Lingling was picked by their department to represent them for the interschool pageant.

That became the catalyst of the life she was living now. She was discovered there when she won 1st place. Started with modeling first then on to small tv roles. By the time she graduated, she had signed a contract with CH3.

She'd slowly evolved since our group combined.

This is my best version. Was what she confided in me in one of our conversations.

Now we've come to a point that our humor goes hand in hand. Our friends used to say that we could do stand-up comedy if our careers don't pan out the way we wanted it to but Ratee pointed out that we'd fail because people won't be able to follow our flow.

Since the night Lingling helped me from my drunken state years ago, we've slowly gravitated towards each other. Well, we really had no choice since Ying and Tan are couple 1 and Bow was always following Ratee around. It worked well for all of us.
