Do I Look Fat?

"Do I look fat today?" Sherry asked as Jimmy slipped his arms around her.

"Is that a trick question" Jimmy replied teasingly.

She burst out in a sweet laughter. "You know what I really, really like about you?"

"What" He looked at his girlfriend. A true friend he knew for so many years and yet still a mysteriously beautiful creature he feared he may never understand.

"Remember last month you got a ticket for making that illegal U-turn? I know you didn't mean to. But you insisted on accepting the ticket though you could have gotten away with it."

"Don't remind me, it cost me Rm 100 and I had to drive all the way to the police station. Anyway, what about it?"

"That's really nice. That's.... that's integrity. I admire that in you." She squeezed his arms. "And that time the mamak fella gave you extra change of 5 bucks, you gave it back, remember?

"What?"

"Remember? The day we were watching football, when Man U lost to.."

"Arggggh, don't remind me!!!! I remember. Anyway, it was just 5 bucks, no big deal."

"Though it was only 5 bucks, it speaks volumes to me. If you can't be honest with 5 bucks, you can't be honest with 500 bucks or 5 millions bucks. I'm proud of you!"

Jimmy suddenly remember the newspaper article about some prominent business owners that were charge for bribery. Honestly does pay.

"Hey! You still have not answered me. DO I LOOK FAT TODAY??!"

"Err..no?" He replied meekly.

[WHACK] "Why do you have to think so long before you answer?"

Ahhhhh... the mystery remained.

Character counts. Character toughens. Character speaks. Character lets us LIVE LOUD with purpose & passion.

I love this story, so cute.
