“Oh my God,” my wife said all of a sudden.


“What?” I replied. “Where are you? You should be in bed.”


“I am by the window.”


“What are you doing over there?” My eyes were still closed. 


“Get out of bed and come here.” My wife, Rose raised her voice a little. 


“Stop being nosy,” I complained. 


“Please come over.”


Reluctantly I got up. I reached to switch on the table light. Accidentally I hit my glass of water on the bedside table. The glass fell on the floor and broken. 


“0h my God, what have you done?”


“Should you stay in bed, this wouldn’t happen.”


“Just come over and I’ll clean up the mess later.”


I walked to the window, “What do you want me to see?”


“Don’t you see our son, Daniel?”


“Yes, Rose, I saw our son...”


“Don’t you see the other boy?”


“Yes, it’s  David from Asa Street.”


“I saw them hugging each other.”


“What’s the problem? Daniel is going to college next week. These boys had been playing football for years. It’s normal to have a good-bye hug.”


“It wasn’t a good-bye hug.”


“What was it? It’s too early to give a welcome home hug.” 


“George, it’s  no time for a joke.”  


“What’s wrong with the hug? I can give you a hug now.” I moved close to give Rose a hug. She pushed me away.


“I saw a tight hug between them for a while...”


“What’s wrong with that?”


“It was a long hug... too long to be a normal hug.”


“Our first hug was a long one too.”


“That’s why I’m concerned about the hug.”


“Look. David is giving Daniel a quick hug and he is walking away now. Did you see that?”


“Yes, I did.”


“It’s a goodbye hug. Let’s go back to bed and hug each other.”


Rose looked at me in disbelieve. I pulled her to bed.

Short Story: woman in red

 Tittle: Women in red

Author: Philip Chan


I was at the Miami beach, sitting alone on the beach, watching the waves come and go.  I was still single, but my heart was full of hope that I would be able to find the woman I once met. 


I closed my eyes thinking  of you. I didn’t know your name but I could remember what happened between us.


I was in Miami for business, having a drink alone at the Hilton Hotel bar to celebrate the results of signing a big contract. 


 saw you, a beautiful woman with long hair and a red dress, drinking alone.  I didn’t know where my guts came from. I carried my bottle of red wine and two glasses. I went to talk to you. I learned that you had just broken up with your boyfriend.  


It was your story that captured my sympathy. You learned on my shoulder to shed tears.  The tears in your eyes attracted to me.


Although it was not love at first sight, my sympathy had given birth to love. I challenged myself to turn your cries into laughs. 


The two of us were sitting on the sofa in the bar, drinking non-stop all night. You held me tight, nonstop kissing.  What I could do at that time was to give you a tight hug and let you cry on my shoulder.


We kept drinking, until the bar closed. I took you to my room. I kissed you passionately. You didn't refuse, but returned your kiss naturally. 


Your emotions changed from heartbreaking to a hyper reaction. You started to laugh. Your happy face was much more beautiful than a crying face.


When I woke up next morning, I couldn’t remember anything. I found myself lying naked on the bed.  You disappeared and on the mirror in the bath room written in red lipstick: "A pleasant and unforgettable night."


Since then, I kept thinking about you. Although I didn’t know your name, I kept a picture of the mirror. We didn’t have a romantic relationship but a pleasant and unforgettable night. 


I went back to Miami many times but didn’t run into you. I stayed at the same hotel recalling our encounter. I could never forgot the moments of kissing and hugging in the bar. 


If I met you again, I would definitely ask your name, address and phone number.


I had tried countless times returning to Miami. I walked the entire Miami beach to look for you. Whenever I saw a woman in red dress, I rushed to see if it was you. Every time I ended up being embarrassed. 


Many a time, I would sit on the beach alone, looking up at the sky, making a wish hoping to meet you again. Sometimes I wondered Whether I wouldn’t recognize you even if you sat next to me. 


Finally I moved to Miami. I went to the same bar every night. I could see us kissing and holding each other in the sofa. One day, the sofa was replaced by a piano. My heart was broken. I felt as if my road of love was blocked. I drank till the bar closed. I didn’t show up to work next day, missed signing a contract, and was fired. 


I wasn’t good at finding a new job but I was able to make enough to visit the bar daily. Today was my birthday.  The bar tender, Tim, asked the musician to play the birthday song for me. He told the audience about my love story and showed the picture of my love on the TV screen which says: “A pleasant and unforgettable night."


Everyone laughed. Tim asked all ladies to come up to give me a kiss. Surprisingly they was a long line of almost ten ladies of all ages.   I kissed every single one of them. Some of them asked for my phone number and I told them to ask Tim.


When the turn came to the last lady, she didn’t give me the kiss but showed me a picture from her iPhone. The picture was with the words of “A pleasant and unforgettable night” written in lipstick. 


Her name was Lily. We started to date for about two months. I proposed to her. Her answer was, “I am Tim’s  mother. Will you marry me?” 


***** 

Notes from the author 

Dear readers,

Was Tim’s mother the woman whom I met or was it a set up by Tim? Any chance Tim could be my son?

This is a fiction.

結果是得不償失

每日的不良情緒

不可以成為習慣

Short Story: eyes can talk

 Eyes can talk

Author: Philip Chan


Warning: you must be older than 18 to continue reading. 


I wasn't a romantic gentleman but I could be considered as a handsome guy.  I happened to pass by a health pharmacy. I looked in from the window case and saw no medicines but a young girl with her big round shining eyes. Her eyes were so sexy and attractive as if they were talking to me. I couldn’t help but smile back at her. I opened the door, entering the shop. She walked one step towards me, saying  "Handsome young man, what do you want to buy today?"


 I replied, “Am I a handsome man?”


 "Sorry, I’m addressing the one behind you."


I turned my head and looked around. There was no one behind me. “Nice joke! Let me say you are a pretty girl."


 "Handsome young boy, what do you want?"


 "Handsome boys want pretty girls.” 


Her eyes turned shining and staring at me, “tell me what you need.”


“Well, can you recommend a drug for me?"


 "What do you want the drug to do to you?"


“I don't care what it does; good or bad. As long as it is sold by you, I’ll be happy.”


 "Do I look like selling bad drugs?" she looked at me with eyes wide open and a chilling smile. 


I was already moved by the waves of her eyes.  "I’m not joking and I’ll buy anything you recommend, ”


 She took a bottle of pills from a drawer, “this is a new product. It will refresh you with new energy every day." Her eyes shone again.  I found it hard to deal with her sexy look. My mind thinking of dating her. I shook my head to get rid of that wistful thinking. 


“Well, what do you think? Do you want me to put this in a nice shopping bag?”


 "Please. So, I will be full of energy after taking it. I should buy you a dinner to thank you."


 "Do you really want to invite me to dinner?"


 "I mean what I said. I'm a man of keeping his promise."


 "Come back to pick me up at the door at eight this evening.”


 ***********


The girl standing at the door looked exactly alike the girl I met earlier in the shop. Her made-up was a little bit heavier. She had a dimple on her face. This made her more attractive and lovely.  She wore a black dress with a pair of three-inch high heels. 


She moved a couple of steps towards me, smiling, “You must be Mr. Lee. My twin sister, Lily had an unexpected event; therefore she couldn't come. Do you mind if I have dinner with you instead?”


 "Of course not. You’re most welcome.”


The hotel steak house was only ten minutes away. We talked, laughed and walked. Soon we arrived at the restaurant, sitting down and sipping a glass of red wine. We both ordered salad as starter and a steak.


Although this girl was about twenty-four, 20 years younger than me, she had a pleasant attitude and plenty of wisdom.  The amount of alcohol consumed by her was unbelievable. After we finished one bottle of red wine,  we had another one. After finishing two bottles, we ordered an after-dinner drink. I admitted I was drunk, so was she. We registered a room to rest in the hotel.


Soon after entering the room, I couldn’t help but hug her, kissing her little cherry mouth softly. He didn’t refuse me, but gave me a French kiss in return. Either she couldn’t help it, or my kiss was too hot, we romantically lay on the bed. She began to unbotton my shirt. Her fingers gently moved from my upper body slowly to my bottom. I was so excited that I began to show the human side of a man.  But she suddenly whispered in my ear, "I am Lily's twin brother, my name is Brandon."


This sentence shocked me, as if she slapped me. I was awakened by the slap. It turned out to be just a shocking dream.
