Before, Tia act oblivious with how people look at her. Be it they look at her with envy or lust she wasn't really bothered by them.
But after the incident, everything changed. She became concious and aware of people's perception of her that she felt like she's going crazy.
When she arrived at school she asked Sarah if she could keep the sunglasses on.
She reasoned that she's crying all night that her eyes look so puffy that she might give her classmates a good scare.
Fortunately, Sarah allowed her to do her thing.
When she entered the classroom her eyes fell on Brandon's empty desk.
Later that afternoon she found out Brandon had already transferred to a different school the day after she caught him.
Tia was somewhat relieved that he went away.
Cause she really doesn't know how will she interact with Brandon after what happened.
Tia kept mum about that incident not a soul had known about that indecent encounter except for her best friend.
She only told TP when they met after her graduation.
Indeed its true. out of sight, out of mind.
Since Brandon already left, she had forgotten about it.
Tia treated that incident as just a nightmare and eventually moved on.
She had hidden it in the deepest in part of her mind.
But everything had resurfaced after she saw Brandon again for the first time.
Tia had been spacing out the entire time they were dining and Ian can't help but notice that something was really amiss.
Even after they had reached their hotel room Tia kept on being preoccupied.
The moment she caught Brandon had been replaying in her mind.
"Tian-Tian... Are you alright?"
She heard Ian calling her which pulled her out of her trance.
'What the hell Tia Kim wake up.'
She inwardly scolded herself. She had no time to be dealing with old issues as she needs to focus on what's infront of her.
She gave Ian a warm smile and kissed him.
Her sudden attack surprised Ian. Tia's hands embraced his neck and deepen their kiss.
"Tian-Tian.. I.."
Ian wanted to stop Tia. The truth is he was still scared that he might hurt her so he wanted to as much as possible lessen their intimate interactions.
Tia cut him off by passionately kissing him again she let go to catch her breath then she shyly looked at him.
"Honey, can you do me a favour?"
She coyly said while her fingers playfully encircling his chest.
"En."
"It's kinda weird. It's fine if you don't want to do it."
"As long as you want it, I will do everything for you."
Ian reassuringly replied. Whatever Tia wants he would happily do everything that she wishes.
"Really?! Then.... can you masturbate in front of me?"
