When we finally get to my house, I quickly unlock the door and pull Bai Lei in. Once inside, I quickly lock the door and take a deep breath. I'm literally a five-minute walk from the office but that felt like it took over an hour!
I look at the familiar surroundings and slowly relax. I was finally home... Bai Lei slowly walks around the house looking at everything with wide eyes but he's smart enough not to touch anything. I kick off my shoes and say "Are you thirsty?"
Bai Lei looks over to me with dark unreadable eyes as he gently nods his head. I turn and walk to the kitchen with Bai Lei following closely behind. I pull out a tall glass cup and walk over to the fridge. I place the cup under the dispenser and cold water instantly shoots out.
Bai Lei's mouth nearly hits the floor as he slowly steps closer. I turn and hand him the glass while getting one for myself. Bai Lei lifts the cup and smells the water before taking a cautious sip. His eyes light up as he drinks the entire glass.
I give him a knowing smile as I drink mine. Nothing beats cold, fresh, filtered water! Bai Lei looks at the refrigerator with fascination so I tell him "Go ahead, try it out." Bai Lei's pretty smart so he copies what I did earlier and begins filling his cup.
He stops several times and tries to see where the water comes from but he just can't figure it out. I think about explaining it to him but he just wouldn't understand. "Look, it's been a while since I've had a nice bath in my jacuzzi tub... I literally had dreams about it! So, I want you to come over here and wait for me until I'm done."
I pull Bai Lei over to the couch and sit him down before grabbing the controller. Bai Lei reaches out and touches the couch in amazement as I say "This is called a TV... and it has many different shows." I click on the TV and a popular Zombie TV series comes on.
Bai Lei tenses up as a zombie missing half it's jaw lunges at one of the characters before having its head blown off. I quickly change the channel and decide to put it on cartoons... better to be safe than sorry. Bai Lei watches with large eyes as he says "How are so many little people in there..."
I sigh in defeat as I say "It's a magical box that shows you different worlds... stay here and watch this while I take a bath okay? Don't open the door and don't mess with anything." Bai Lei watches a little yellow sponge with large eyes catching something called jellyfish with a pink star wearing shorts... he was utterly confused.
I quickly sneak away and run to my room. I feel uneasy about leaving him alone so I quickly take a bath and try to relax for just a little before jumping out. I get dressed in clean clothes and quickly brush my hair but when I see my reflection in the mirror, I freeze.
I really have changed... My hair was the most notable thing but my skin, hair, lips and even the red flower on my forehead... was this really a permanent thing? I quickly flip my head over and throw my long hair into a messy bun. This is the last thing I need to worry about now...
I quickly walk out of the room but what I hear has me freezing in horror.
"Mmmm, yeah~~~"
"That's right, just like that~~~"
I take off running and come sliding around the corner, nearly hitting the wall in my panic. Bai Lei sits on the couch with large eyes and a beet-red face. I look at the TV to see PORN!!! "Nooooooo!!!!" I yell and come running over at top speeds. I take a leap and dive straight over the back of the couch.
Bai Lei looks to me with large eyes as he struggles to say "I.. I don't know what I did... it just..." I snatch the controller from him and quickly put it back on cartoons. I look over to see Bai Lei staring off into space with a look of enlightenment.
I have a huge cable package... and unfortunately, it comes with porn on demand... I look back over to Bai Lei and cringe when I see him lost in his own thoughts. I feel like I just corrupted something pure! "Stop thinking about it!! Just forget what you just saw..."
Bai Lei looks over to me with a dark mysterious look. "W... why are you looking at me like that?" I ask stepping back. Bai Lei looks to the TV before turning back to me and asking "So that's how you do things here?" I think back to what was on the screen when I came in here and instantly blush.
I lift my hands and say "Stop! Just stop... whatever you're thinking.... don't!" Bai Lei's dark eyes watch me closely as a dark smirk slowly crawls across his handsome face. "I get the feeling you haven't tried these either... We could try them out together?"
I sputter in shock as I gape at him like a fish out of the water. "How long were you watching that!?" I ask in a panic. Bai Lei shrugs and says "A little after you left." I rub my temples and say "And here I was worrying about tainting you..." Bai Lei's smile grows as I walk into the kitchen.
If anything, it was like I gave the devil some new material! I turn back to see him watching me from the couch with dark, sexy eyes. Just four days Nova... you just need to last four days.
