Bai Lei stands up and begins pacing back and forth in my room as he says "Leave" to Chyou. Chyou looks to me in fear before turning around and quickly leaving. Chyou felt bad for her miss but she knew better than to try and stay. It'll only make things worse!
Bai Lei paces back and forth in the room as he thinks about what just happened. He always knew she was different and from far away but a part of him still didn't realize that she could suddenly disappear one day!
If he was any slower... He looks over to Nova to see her glaring daggers at him but he could care less. He knew she was angry at him but he was just as angry! First, the man touching her like that and then the strange thing they snapped in half.
She was really going to leave... just like that. He quickly turns away when he feels his eyes changing again. He normally controls his emotions so well but this woman... this woman was wreaking havoc on him!
Suddenly he comes to a stop when something comes to mind. That's right, why was this woman affecting him so greatly? He gains control of his eyes again before turning back to her. When the realization hits him, he takes an uneasy step back.
He... he fell in love with her! Did he really fall for this clumsy woman!? As he looks to her beautiful jade-colored eyes his heart skips a beat. He looks away and walks over to the table before sitting down in defeat. He pours himself a glass of water before looking back at her.
She continues glaring at him as his heart falls into turmoil. He knocks the water back before pouring himself another glass. He drinks the whole cup before throwing it against the wall. The porcelain cup shatters as he takes a deep breath.
He loves her... he actually loves her and it was driving him crazy to know that she doesn't feel the same way about him. She hates him... she wants to run away the second she gets the chance! His dark eyes grow darker as he tries to think of ways to change her mind.
For now, he needs to keep her close so he can keep an eye on her. If she somehow gets her hands on another one of those things... he might lose her forever. He could find her anywhere in this world... in any realm but if she were to suddenly disappear into another world... he has no way of reaching her.
Bai Lei gets up and walks over to me with dark eyes. He reaches up and taps two different spots, instantly releasing me from the weird freeze. I lunge at him and bite his chest. He grunts in pain but he doesn't push me away. He actually pulls me closer!! Allowing me to bite him as hard as I want!
I hesitate for a few seconds before releasing him and pushing him away. He just holds me tighter, nearly crushing me in his arms. "Let me go you big fat baboon!" I yell at him and try to pull away. He buries his head into the nape of my neck making me freeze.
"I'm sorry," he says in a whisper making me turn three shades whiter. He's apologizing!? WHY?! Bai Lei smiles sadly when he feels how stiff she's become in his arms. When he thinks back to when she ran to that other man...
She was smiling so brightly while jumping into the man's open arms... his chest feels heavy as a slight pain flashes through his heart. He closes his dark eyes and takes a deep breath of her scent. She smelt faintly like the peach blossoms... and something else he couldn't quite place.
"Nova... forgive me," He says making me even more confused. Was this arrogant and pushy asshole actually apologizing and asking for forgiveness? Somehow, this was even more terrifying than his red eyes!
Why has his personality suddenly changed!? Was he going to keep hugging me until I forgive him? I slowly lift my hand and gently tap his back while saying "As long as you don't do it again... and never make me ride on another horse..." I say hesitantly.
I feel his deep chuckle before I hear it but being this close to him and feeling his breath on my neck has my face turning beat red. Why was he doing this to me!? Was this a new form of torture? I feel him taking another deep breath making me shiver before releasing me and stepping back.
"Would you like to eat? I can have the kitchen make you anything you want... or would you rather sleep?" He says looking at me with dark unreadable eyes. I look at him with confusion before pointing to the bed behind me.
He only looks at the bed for a second before looking back to me with a nod. "I'll have Chyou come back and help you rest." He then turns around and leaves without another word. I stand in the same spot in shock. What just happened? I look around the room in confusion as I slightly scratch my head.
I quickly untie my outer dress and jump into bed. Maybe he's bipolar? Well, I will take what I can get! I'm gonna sleep all day if I can! But... If I don't show up in my own world... will Ted come back to look for me? I bite my lip in worry as I lay in the large bed.
He'll come back... he has to! He clearly saw the psycho standing next to me... he'll come to the conclusion that something happened. Sigh... I should have just held onto the vial until I was alone. I just didn't expect Bai Lei to flip like that... why was he so upset over me leaving?
It's not like we're really in love and getting married because of it! He just wants me to take responsibility for touching him... that and I feel like he's using me as a shield against his father and the little heifer who likes him.
