"Well, I'm not in a hurry. Just take your time." Knowing that she would see Arvin soon, Angela jumped with joy.
"Okay," Arvin replied and ended the call.
Angela checked the time, got up from the sofa and said to Nancy, "I must go now, Nancy."
"Doctor Gu arrived?" Nancy asked. The two girls hugged each other, both reluctant to part.
Angela gave her a loud kiss on the cheek and said, "He will arrive soon."
Nancy was about to say something more when she was interrupted.
"What are you doing?" At the door, Stanley asked this in a serious tone. He had just come back from work and saw the two girls clinging together.
He also saw Angela kiss his Nancy! That made him jealous!
The two girls simultaneously turned their eyes to him while they still embraced each other. Stanley was staring at Angela like she was an enemy.
Angela thought, 'Stanley is really dull. Isn't my Arvin much more lovable than he? Huh!'
Then, she deliberately put her arms around Nancy's neck and pushed her to her chest. She kissed on her cheek again and said, "What are we doing? I'm taking advantage of her as you see."
"Angela, stop..." Nancy had become so shy that she kept her head down.
Stanley had his shoes changed, and set them aside. He grabbed Angela by her collar and pushed her out onto the porch. "Change your shoes," he said, "and go to kiss your Arvin. Nancy is not someone you can defile!"
"Don't you know I'm female?" Angela asked.
Stanley's reaction was exaggerated, as if he had just found his wife cheating on him with a stranger in bed.
Then Stanley did what Angela did to Nancy. He wrapped Nancy with his arms, and said to Angela coldly, "I know you are female only as much as I know that you have potential to be a lesbian."
Angela was flabbergasted.
So was Nancy. They both remained silent.
Stanley shielded Nancy with his body when Angela was trying to pounce onto her again. He warned Angela with his angry eyes.
"Good job, Stanley. I will tell Arvin that you bullied me," Angela said.
"If Arvin knows that you kissed Nancy, you will be the one to get punished, not me."
...
Angela gave him a contemptuous look and phoned Arvin. "Big Wing..." Angela even added some sobs.
Stanley was really surprised by her performance and her ability to provoke a battle. He had to hand it to her!
"What happened?" Arvin asked. He was driving onto Stanley's block.
"It's Stanley. Isn't he your friend?"
"Yes."
"Well I have some news about your so-called friend! He bullied me, threatened me, yelled at me and even tried to beat me..." Angela enumerated Stanley's "wrongdoings" in an aggrieved voice.
But what Arvin didn't see was that she was looking at Stanley with a sly and self-satisfied smile.
"Wait. I'll be there soon."
