Love, Tale. —————————————————————————— "I've had quite a bit of Nigerian food and i can say yours might be good" he replied ending the topic as he finally dug in. Tale had been avoiding his face since the moment they met but now she could see clearly under her mini chandelier. His face was well sculpted and all clear with a jawline to die for and It embodied the very essence of masculine beauty, he had a perfect forehead and his eyebrows were perfectly winged that they made her fingertips throb and made her a little jealous. The only place that held a little softness were his eyes, there were as dark as night but beautiful. His hair was midnight black and fell to one side of his face covering a scar she couldn't see yet. Such a face did not belong to a man who was sweet but of one who commanded, demanded and took action. His lips were so fine and firm, it sent a seductive shiver down her spine. Men like this-- who looked like he did led women to sin... And into loosing their peace of mind. "You know it's rude to stare?" he said when he felt he had allowed her have her fill.

how do you know she's simple?

"What!"

...

"Just temporarily." Precious replied as she took a seat.

"Oh wow. Are you for real right now? Because of a little chest pain you saw last night?"

"No, because I am having a little issue with accommodation." she replied looking down.

"What? Since when? And you didn't bother to tell me." she was surprised Precious could hide something like that from her but she wasn't any better so she killed her temper.

"It happened all of a sudden and don't go using that tone on me, you are no better either, you have been sick and you told no one. I thought we had something special."

Tale who had been trying to keep a straight face busted out laughing.

"I'm not mad I'm just surprised you didn't tell me something like this and besides I am not sick, I have been taking my meds and will be fine."

"Of course you will, but I need to ask officially. Can I stay here till I get my own place?"

"Well I hear you, you would have to wait for two to seven business days for me to decide if I want to have you around."

"You ain't gonna do that."

"Yen Yen but you are making dinner tonight to celebrate!"

"You should be the one celebrating me."

"Can't hear you." Tale said walking to the kitchen.

...

Su Yan went over twenty scenarios of how he was going to ask Tale out and none seemed to be near perfect as he wanted it to be. He was considering calling Precious for help but realized he didn't have her number.

He knew she liked food, nature, actually she liked a lot of things but those things were as simple as they come and he didn't want that.

With Yang Mi he had hired the very best of the best dancers to do a little show just for her, he had given a diamond jewelry that she proudly wore about her neck. Granted he was only eighteen at the time but money was available. Now he was twenty nine and richer, he should do better he thought.

Woo Jin didn't need a witch to tell him something was bothering his friend, he had always thought Su Yan was lacking in expressing his feelings if he had any but now one could almost read Su Yan like a book especially if it concerned Tale.

"What's on your mind now?"

He tried to be concerned. Woo Jin had secretly did a background check on Tale and he was going to keep that secret till he died for Su Yan would kill him for doing so behind his back.

He found out that Tale was as simple and pure as they come. The girl probably didn't have a bad bone in her body. Not the kind of woman he was surrounded by back at home but good things do come in different packages.

Su Yan told Woo Jin all he was trying to do and how he didn't know what to do about it.

"She's a simple girl, why all the fuss?"

"How do you know she is simple?"

He forgot how smart Su Yan was

"Well for one she hasn't asked you for the world." he thought fast

"But she deserves it."

"You are really hooked aren't you?

"Tell me what to do?"

"Why me?" really why him. Woo Jin wouldn't be in a relationship to save his life, he loved women, treated them good, what they gave, he tried to match, but has never committed to one. He was thirty and the number four top bachelor in all of China.

"Because I know you ran a background check on her." he switched to speaking Chinese now

When it looked like Woo Jin had lost his voice, he spoke up then "Don't worry, I know if you found something bad you would have told me, I'm glad you have seen all you think there is and can now give your full support."

Woo Jin looked like this was a train that wasn't heading his way but he had to be on it whether he liked it or not.

"Well if you think me worthy enough to give you an advice on this, I'd keep it old school. Just ask"

"Just ask? What do you think I am, a cave man?"

His phone rang then and a grateful Woo Jin escaped to the kitchen.

He could hear is friend talking lightly and knew it was Tale. She was telling him about how her day had been with Precious now living with her, she was so detailed about it all and it continued for the next two hours.

xo, Tale
