Lady in Red, Man in Black.

A waitress swiftly moves her hand to refill a customer's cup of iced lemon tea. The man with formal clothes and smart wear together with well spiked hair and a smell of a rich fragrance smiled as a sign of thanks. The hotel was decorated with pink and purple flowers of all sizes and shapes, balloons filled the sky high ceilings together with ribbons and strands of light colored purple mixed with a pink thin strand of cloth. Tables were set and divided into two different sections and in the middle was the red decorated carpet together with short railings to mark the two different sections. Guests walking up and down the walkway, chit chatting their way through, as though the theme was "Chit Chat." Beautiful ladies in fabulous gowns and mini dresses were seen walking around holding short cups which are referred to as wine cups. Gentlemen with smart clothing and bow ties with nicely made hairstyles, shiny black shoes, leather shoes and a few, jogging shoes were seen joking and "checking out" ladies. Ladies seen in necklaces, bracelets, earrings, lipsticks, polished nails, high heels, nicely tied hair, pretty gowns and dresses which matched their accessories. Men with their ego and some what bass voiced laughs, mixed with ladies giggle and sparkling smiles. The occasion was really huge although the theme was unknown. The dress code was smart wear.

At the corner of a table, a lady was seen dressed in a beautifully made red color dress which matched her red high heels and her hair was neatly spread out to cover her neck and expose her back with her bare back dress, holding a cup of dark liquor topped with grape, her eyes aimlessly wanders around the massive hall, accumulating to almost five hundred guests, her mind seems to be in thoughtful mode, the lighting were nice, glittering here, sparkle there, random men walking around smiling at her, all men would say was she looked exotic. Her brown blond fringe was covering a small part of her eyes, making her look gorgeous in a distant.

Guests and people were dancing around following the rhythm of the jazz song being played, smiles on their faces, laughs at a distance, things were going on in fraction of seconds, a memory too precious to forget. Just then, a gentleman which was sitting down not far away from the exotic lady stared at this lady. He stared at her, examining her from top to bottom, how elegant she stood, how gorgeous she looked, how did her dress matched her heels and how she reacted to her friends when some random guy comes up and smiles at her. She somehow made the gentleman melt. Not him, his heart, melted like chocolate being left under the sun, his was brought to the sun. All he could think of was that she was the most amazing person he had ever seen in his life. His peers were around him, joking and chatting out loud, laughing at friend's remarks and so on, he suddenly losses his surrounding, it brings him into a motion where he was with the lady, all by their self, dancing to the music, their swift hands moving around, holding each other tight but firm. His attention focused on that pretty lady, her sweet and fair face caught him into a maze of romantic scenes and romantic imaginations, luring other men into glancing at her even though for no reason, his heart melting and melting, oh boy, she is so exotic, the qualities were inside her, somewhere. It happened quite quickly as she turned when she noticed someone staring at her, that what where the spark begun when she saw him staring and smiled. He stunned for a few seconds as she smiled at him and his eyes turned to see if she was smiling at some other man behind him, but to no avail, it was him she was smiling at, it was him where her sweetest smile melted his heart entirely and her innocent looking eyes, made him shiver a little and gave him a short goosebumps effect as he silently blushes and tried to smile at her but he realized that he couldn't. Instead he tried to turn away but also failed, knowing that the man was stunned by her beauty, she quickly giggled and looked away. He felt so moronic. He was of average height, good looking, appropriate hairstyle, a smell of sea blue cologne, a guy with jokes lingering in his mind twenty four seven.

She sits down, turned to her friend and whispered something then got up, left her scarf on her seat and headed to the ladies. The man which she smiled at made his surprising move, he so called stalked the pretty lady he saw towards the ladies room, evading every person he saw blocking his way, he looked and thought of how pretty and elegant she looked, he could not get it off his mind, she walks on towards the ladies, men all admiring her as she passes by, as though a breeze of chilling wind has just past by them, apprehending their attention in just a blink of an eye. He makes a simple plan in his jumbled up mind and waited beside the door for the lady to appear. A moment passes by and suddenly the door creaks and the lady came out, the man with his heart beat thumping so loud that even the stage could hear him raised his hand and motioned to stop her, she stops as though it was an emergency brake, he introduced himself with much of a deep voice but soft hearted, she went speechless, but a few seconds later regained her consciousness and self-confidence to speak up to him and smiled at the man with the heart melting smile and remembering his introduction sentence and answered the handsome man.

"Hey, er I'm Jack, you look familiar, have I seen you before?" she remembered every word he asked her, while reaching his right hand for a handshake. She looked at him, smiled and shook his hand softly, her smooth palms holding his a little tight and answered, "I'm Paula. I think not." and she smiled again. He blushed when she gave him her most heart melting smile ever seen before by him and seriously, it was obvious to other people around him and for someone as close as her, she could really notice the red color and his cheeks. A few meters away from the door, 3 heads popped out and were whispering among themselves saying, "Oh my, he actually talked to her!" And they all gasped, looking at their friend which was much concentrated with his work and not any girls he had seen before which caught his attention but this one in a million lady, they were actually planning to prank him but canceled it when they see sparkle in both the couple's eyes. The couple were fast engrossed talking together and walking back to their table, they were like magnets, talking and talking, having almost the same interests and thoughts till they reached her table, all women sitting around, in their twenties and of course, below thirties and there she introduced him, to her friends. Her friends were all smiling and giggling when Luc's friends all happened to crash by, and that was where they all chit chatted, exchanged numbers and interests, stock market, shares and everything they could ever think of. They spotted another couple, Jack's best friend, Luc, talking with a girl named Sara. Altogether at the table were eight ladies and six men. Luc was talking with Sara and made her laugh most of the times with his lame jokes and with his attractive looks the ladies were pleased that he was there to entertain them.

The music suddenly changed from a jazz genre to a more dancable song, and out of the hotel scenery Jack asked Paula to dance. Paula accepted without hesitating and the next moment, they see a couple dancing not with the genre of the song, but with exact and neatly choreographed dance steps, just came out of them like water flowing from rocks at the river side. And as they dance, their surroundings started to fade, the hotel, the guests, the waitress and waiters, everybody seemed to disappear as both of them remained, it was as though it was from a romantic movie scene, they looked into each other's eyes, deep within their eyes they watched as they viewed their lifes in a fraction of a moment and a feeling which surrounds the area as the feelings of other poeple are not present anymore and without a warning, he closed his eyes and gently touched her lips and they both kissed deeply, the feeling of warmness surrounds their body, without them noticing that thier friends were looking in disbelief as they kissed so sweetly as though nobody was there and they suddenly regained consciousness after someone accidentally pushed them and they instantly felt shy and awkward. He hold her hands and she did not resisted and soon they were gone from the dancing area.

They ended up at their friends table, holding hands, smiles on their face, even their friends were surprised, shocked to see them so happy and they were looking almost drunked by their drinks as though it was spiked with something and then the music suddenly changes again and off the lovely couple went, they were dancing with every strength they have had left, gripping each other's palms tight and firm, their fingers playing across their hands so sweetly, they kissed for the second time and this time, the lights all went out and a spotlight was targeted at them and instantly pictures were seen taken, camera flashes, they stunned and covered their faces and ran from the dancing area.

Soon after, about fifteen to twenty youngsters were packed up at the hotel entrance, the hotel itself was closed, because the ending time was at one in the morning till two, they left at one in the morning sharp and headed down to a "mamak" where they talked more and get to know better. The restaurant were filled with laughter as there weren't any customer's left but them. Jack and Luc were there definitely, two of the so called "stars" in their group. Together with Paula and Sara were sitting together and there was where Luc and Jack felt something different. "Oh, you both are sisters?" Jack spilled in disbelief. "Yea." came the reply. Luc stared at Sara without any disturbance, Sara looked back at him and he smiled, a sinister smile and of slyness caught her and made her smile herself. Then Luc approached her and said, "I guess I did not got hold of your name? I'm Luc Aberson. What about you?" She looked at him with a sweet smile and replied softly, "Nope you did not. Sara Ng."

The gang talked till about three in the morning and that was where someone wanted to head home as it was pretty late already. Jack and Luc dropped Sara and Paula home before they head home themselves.

"What a memory yeah? What a memory. And now we're so old already.(laughs)" Luc said turning the DVD off and remembering what happened exactly after the prestigous opening of the respected hotel.
