Dr Ho Fanclub

Chapter 2

It was 9:11 when I heard a knock on my door. All dressed up, I opened the door to Micheal in his scrubs.

"What do you think you're doing?" I yelled as he came inside. "I thought we were going to the Hard Rock Cafe?"

"Plans changed." he said. "I was called into the office to fix my electro magnetic pads. Now they pump protein into the body, you know, for vegetarians."

"Ok, so what now?" I asked in disappointment.

"I could cook something." And that was that. He made a delicious, authentic, seasoned to perfection spaghetti. After we finished eating, he came over and sat on my lap. He gave me a passionate yet gentil kiss.

"Now John?" he asked. I was too overtaken with pleasure to say anything. "I'll take that as a yes." And the love making began.

. . .

I don't know when we fell asleep, but I woke up at midnight to find a note on my bedside table.

John,

I had to leave because of an electro magnetic pad malfunction. Be back in the morning with coffee.

Having read the note, I went back to sleep. I then woke up around 4:20 am and started thinking. What if the note is just a cover up? What if he's seeing someone else? I bet it's because he sees no future. We have been going out for 2 years but neither of us have brought up the idea of marriage.

"That's it! I'll propose and go to China with him!" I said to myself.

I grabbed my coat and ran to the nearest jewelry shop and bought the nicest engagement ring eyes could see. I hurried back and started planning my proposal. Soon after, Micheal came home with my favorite blend of coffee.

"Sorry I left with only a note." he apologized.

"It's ok. Hey, since it's our day off why don't we go out?" I asked. "My treat."

"Sure, we'll finish our coffee and head out."
