*Xin Lei*
My hands were still wrapped around Bai Li. He leaned in and softly kissed my forehead.
"I am sorry."
I smiled. I pulled his head and let it rest on my chest. We stayed quiet like that for some time while I was brushing my fingers through his hair.
Then he laid back on his side and took me in his arms, and I hugged his chest.
A few moments later, I typed. "Okay. Now let get some things straight. First, promise me that you won't blame yourself anymore."
Bai Li trailed his hand through my back and said, "I promise I will never do that."
I typed again. "Then promise me that you won't push me away again. That you won't distance yourself from me anymore. You hurt me when you said to my Dad that I should go back."
I softly hit on his chest.
It seemed he felt guilty. "I promise I won't push you away again. I am sorry for hurting you. I will not say that again. I...need you Xin Lei. Please don't go."
I nodded satisfied, and pecked his chin.
