A must read for everyone!
Nigel claims that he intro-ed me that book, but I knew about it since SEC 2!

Some spoilers!
Alot people read this book already, so I'll just put a few lines from the book here.

“Hey, Joanna.” he turned serious. “You must understand, I’m doing this because I
wanna help you, okay? I want you to believe in yourself and others. Just that.
We cannot be a couple. You cannot be my girlfriend. I have my reasons. So, don’t
you ever fall in love with me, okay?”

Fuck. Damn. Ass. Bastard. Idiot.
Silly, damn, fucking bastard ass idiot!

“I’ll never fall in love with
you!” I yelled back at the top of my voice. “I’ll never love you! And you!” I
pointed at him in the chest, and then punched him in the chest repeatedly.
“Don’t you fall in love with me! Don’t you turn back and tell me ‘I love you!’!
You hear me, Jacky Wu Zhong Xian? You hear me?! Me, Joanna Fung Wai Gwan, will
never, ever fall in love with Jacky Wu Zhong Xian!”

“Cool down-” he
whispered.

“And you, Jacky Wu Zhong Xian, you’d better don’t fall in
love with me, ‘coz I’ll never love you!” I gave him a final punch before I
stepped back. My heart was beating a lot faster and my body was jerking up and
down uncontrollably. “You cannot be my boyfriend! I have my reasons! Okay! Don’t
fall in love with me!”

“Can I hold your hand?” he said.

I wanted to smile, to jump around
in ecstasy and hug him tight, and then kiss him and tell him how delighted I am.
However, I did none of the above. I balled my hand into a fist and snorted, “I
only allow my boyfriend to hold my hand.”

“Can I hold your hand?”

I looked away from him, trying to find something to say. “You can’t be
my boyfriend. You said that before. You’ve got your … reasons.”

“Can I
hold your hand?”

Now, I really felt like punching him. “No. Because only
lovers hold hands. And we are not lovers.” Not yet.

“Can I hold your
hand?”

“I am not your girlfriend. I cannot be because I have this curse
and you’ve got your own reasons.”

“Can I hold your hand?

“Only
if you’re my boyfriend and I’m your girlfriend, then we can.”

“Can I
hold your hand?”

“Remember what you once said?” I bit my lips. I was
staring at the ground, my heart beating a lot faster. My body seemed to jerk and
I was blinking a lot faster than normal. “If we hold hands, your reputation will
be spoilt. I don’t want to do that.”

“Can I … hold your hand?” he
repeated, this time weaker.

I continued walking. This was getting
nowhere. I turned to him, ready to scold him aloud when I stopped in my tracks.

His eyes were red, and a few drops of tears were rolling off his eyes.
He was breathing deeply. For the first time since I had known him, the tough and
jovial Jacky was crying in front of me.

And, he did not hold my hand.
Instead, I held his and wiped off his tears. And, as my blinking glistened back
to normalcy, tears rolled out of my eyes, as well, and I jerked harder.

We were like two scared, crying school kids who were lost. But, when I
felt his hand on mine, I felt no fear.

Only warmth.

We locked hands till we reached my house. Throughout the journey, we were
silent, as if words had suddenly vanished from our minds. But, when we reached
my void deck, he released my hand and said, “Joanna, I’m always here. I’m always
here, if you ever need me. Here.” He pointed to his heart.

This time, I
could no longer resist the urge to hug him. I wrapped my arms around him. The
tough introvert Joanna was crying for the second time within a span of an hour.
“Thanks” that was all I could manage to say.

Jacky released me gently
and took tissue paper to wipe off my tears. “Remember this. If you ever need me
and I’m not around, just wait for me. Because I’ll always be here.”

I nodded.
