Previously,
"Shall We?" Mo Fengshi started the car as they both got settled inside it.
The whole ride passed in mere silence as the only thing audible to the ears, were the ticking of the rain drops and the sound of rolling tires with familiar highway noise.
Xiao Jane would be lying if she says she was hating this ride. Instead, she was more excited than anxious.
His forearms were big and bulky. A greenish - blue entanglement of veins covered his hands, pulping out, visible enough to stare at. She was getting attracted, she admitted.
'It must be because I haven't interacted with any guy before....in this romantic way. I'm just deprived of attention from guys.'
She was confused, as for what's going on inside Mo Fengshi's head. Where could he be taking her at this weather of the day.
Mo Fengshi focused on the wheels, driving as fast as he can inspite of the rain.
Half an hour passed and Mo Fengshi rotated the steering wheel towards something which seemed like a big white penthouse, away from city and closer to greenery.
The car stopped at front of the house and Mo Fengshi finally broke the silence, "We're here!"
'We are going to spend our date at a penthouse? My mind is getting blank and I can't think straight now! It's highly preposterous to think if he's thinking what I'm fearing right now!!'
The house was quite huge and fascinating. Both of them stepped out in the heavy rain and hurriedly walked inside, but the harsh drops of falling water made their clothes and hair wet in that short amount of time.
They entered the living room across the kitchen. Mo Fengshi glanced at Xiao Jane, as he noticed that her dress was subsequently drenched in the rain, showing something he shouldn't be seeing at the moment.
Her hair got wet, rain drops were glimmering on those cranberry lips, her wet clothes revealing the drop-dead gorgeous skin and those curves... It made him stop breathing for a second. Or maybe more seconds.
'No! Not now!' shaking his head, he ran hands through his wet hair causing the water to fall freely in laps of floor.
"Are you cold? Want some coffee?" he asked and held her hands suddenly.
Xiao Jane felt the same warm current streaming inside her veins. She was about to ask him why had he suddenly pulled her hands, she got dragged inside a bedroom.
'What? Why a bedroom of all places, ..... I'm feeling odd! What's the meaning of this?'
"What are you-" she was about to speak but he let go of the hands and said, "You can take a hot shower inside, the wet clothes will do you no good!"
Xiao Jane blinked her eyes in disbelief.
"....I don't have lady's clothes here but you can use anything suitable you can find inside the wardrobe! I'm brewing coffee downstairs! Come downstairs when you're done!"
He closed the door and the sound of his footsteps moving downstairs can be heard through the thin door.
'What?.... What was I even thinking about? Fool! You overthinking fool!!'
"Shower?" she mumbled as she cursed her thoughts.
As she entered the shower, she saw the rich collection of shampoos and body washers arranged perfectly on the shelves.
She enjoyed her warm bath and covered her moist body in a thick white bath towel.
'He is rich enough to bring girls over here. He must be lying, I think I can find some dresses in the wardrobe!'
She opened the wardrobe cover, and to her shock.... there was nothing more than multiple shirts, pants, trousers and tshirts....of men only. She rummaged up and down the whole shelf again but got nothing resembling a woman's.
'What am I supposed to wear now! I had never been in such pathetic situation!'
She tried to search again, and at the very last, she found a light blue shirt of XL size, large enough to make it to her knees.
"Guess what? I have no choice!"
She fitted herself in inside the shirt and again the same cologne tickled her sensitive nostrils.
She can feel her breath full of intimidating fragrance and she closed her eyes for a brief second.
'How come someone's cologne is strong enough, ....that it's essence is rushing my blood so high.'
She stepped down the stairs only to meet those fabulous pair of Amethyst eyes. His eyes stopped blinking the moment he saw Xiao Jane wearing his shirt.
'How embarrassing! It's not like I'm a main character of some cheesy romance novel! Nothing's going to happen!'
"You feeling good now?" he asked and handed her a cup of coffee.
"Yeah... I am! Thanks for this too." she tried to avert her gaze from his wet shirt showing his attractive build.
"I'm sorry you had to wear this, I really don't have any women clothing here!" his voice was soft, concerning, like some kind of music to the ears.
"It's fine.... I didn't have any choice since I got wet! I should have been careful." His gaze upon her was so intense, she can feel tingles in her skin.
"So should we start?" he asked.
'Start? What?'
"Sorry?" she asked, her voice, a little hesitant.
"I mean we're here for our Date! I think we should start opening up to each other!" his answer as wise as honeydew.
"Yeah! Right!" she mumbled under her breath.
'Opening up? Damn! Was I always this dirty minded or is HE the one messing with my naive senses?'
"I'm glad that you thought of giving me a chance. I mean a lady as beautiful as you can have multiple options to go with but then, here you're, spending your time with me! I'm grateful!" his words actually seemed sugar coated but Xiao Jane's mindfulness was fused, but still, she managed found it odd.
"You're flattering me Mr Mo! Someone as handsome and captivating as you must be having much more options, and it's my honest opinion, unlike yours Mr. Mo!" the boldness in her voice seemed pretty fascinating to Mo Fengshi.
"I'm sorry if you feel that way, but to be true, I never had looked at any women up this close, as I am seeing you right now! No women had ever stepped inside this house! I never trusted any women in my life except for my mother!" his lips sealed as he felt that he actually was serving out the truth.
He saw a glimpse of respect and happiness in her chocolatey brown eyes, his sight making it's way to admire her wet violet-red wavy hair lurking down.
He found himself drawn to her more and more.
Xiao Jane was sharing the same feelings. She was unknowingly absorbing his godly features through her eyes, causing pinkish flat blushes appear on her soft wet cheeks.
Both of them took their seats on the couch. The atmosphere was already heart rushing.
The pace of rain increased, increasing the heart beat of Xiao Jane.
'Should I play along?' he looked at him, her eyes twinkling like stars from faraway galaxy.
"As for me,..... I never thought I would feel this special in my life, the way you're treating me, it's actually new and exciting to me and-" her words stopped as she felt a warm hand rested upon hers.
"And by saying that, you're causing a stir in my heart, enough to wreak havocs. I never wanted to trust anyone except for myself,.... but now, my heart wants to trust you, to trust your words, your voice, your feelings and your heart!" he drew her closer to himself.
Xiao Jane forgot to react. Or maybe she shared a mutual feeling since her body was moving closer to him on it's own.
'I'm feeling numb.....My mind is refusing to think further and my limbs are not listening to me!'
"Xiao Jane....." he whispered her name in ecstasy. Close enough, he also started to feel the soft deep breaths of the woman brushing his face lightly.
The distance between them was mere a centimeter apart. In the heat of the moment, Xiao Jane found her fingers running through his half wet hairs, softly pulling them to draw Fengshi closer.
'Why am I doing this....? I don't know if this is right.... or if it's wrong.... but it's intoxicating!'
He supported her back with his other hand, pulling her closer. He picked her flail body slightly, making her sit on his lap.
'Xiao Jane is sitting on my laps...! C'mon Mo Fengshi, you promised yourself that you will do better than this, but why, why are you getting so uncontrollable?' his thoughts were trying to stop him but his body was doing the opposite.
As for Xiao Jane, she couldn't believe her situation, sitting on the lap of someone she just met some hours ago. And to admit, it was her who's trying to pull him more closer, ready to embrace him with her body.
If it's not madness than what can she call it.
Mo Fengshi felt helpless in front of the lady, who wasn't letting him go, nor making it any easier for him to let her go. All he could see was her lips now.
