Reaching the parlour, she caught sight of him sitting on the couch and on hearing footsteps approaching, he turned to look in the direction and their eyes locked. His eyes had a lot of questions and she paused in her steps.
When he looked away, she continued walking to where he was sitting. "You came," she said standing besides him. He raised his eyes and they met with hers to say," Of course I had to come. I had to know what's going on."
"Uhm...Okay. I prepared dinner for the both of us. We should eat first, yes?" "You cooked?" he asked to which she nodded.
From what he knew, she wasn't fond of cooking and the thought that she had prepared food for him, he found it amusing. "Shall we go?" she asked and he nodded before getting up.
She walked to the kitchen and watched him take a seat on the table. She didn't like the fact that they treated each other distantly and she realized that they had to solve this problem as soon as possible.
Carrying the dishes to the table, she said, "I'm not so good at cooking. I just hope you will like it," she got a plate to serve him. "I will like it regardless," he replied.
She served fried rice and chicken Chowmein on both plates at first before sitting down. She watched him have a first bite and after asked," How is it?" After swallowing, he said," Good." She looked at him skeptically and picked her fork to taste the rice. Putting it in her mouth, her eyes widened when she realized that she hadn't put any salt. Just why?!! After swallowing it, she didn't meet his gaze and tasted the Chowmein. Maybe it would come to her aid.
Tasting it, her eyes narrowed when she realized that she had put a lot of salt and she immediately drank water. Her face reddened in embarrassment.
She regretted why she had decided to cook. She would have ordered for food instead. She covered her face with her hands not wanting to look at him.
A while later, she peeked through the spaces between her fingers only to see him eating his food seriously as if it was okay. She immediately removed her hands and said," You don't have to pretend with me. I know everything is terrible." "To you, not to me," he said and continued with his food.
"You don't have to eat it to make me happy. You will fall sick. I will throw it away," she said sadly getting up. He raised his eyes and looked at her to say," I'm eating my food and I have no plans of throwing it away." With that, he served himself the other two dishes and she looked at him dumbfounded. She knew he did just because she had taken time to prepare it but he didn't have to do that.
Left with no option, she sat back and watched him eat his food until he finished it and she quickly cleared the plates off the table. She was so embarrassed to spare him another glance.
Going to the kitchen, she leaned her head on the counter when she heard footsteps approaching. She looked and saw him folding the cuffs of his shirt and she asked," What are you doing?"
"I will do the dishes," he offered and she looked at him speechless. She cooked terribly and perhaps, did he even know how to wash dishes? "You don't have to. I will do it," she said getting the gloves. "I want to do it. I will be quick," without waiting for her response, he stood by the sink and started washing them as she watched him. Then an idea popped up in her head and she said," I will be waiting for you in the bedroom." When he nodded, she left to the room.
A while later when Jin Liwei got done with the dishes, he took a glass of water to help calm down his nerves. He knew that something was wrong and he sensed that she had something to say. Did she suddenly realize that he wasn't good for her considering the things he had made her go through. Even though he believed that it would be fair, he prayed for it not to be the case. He had become so attached to her that he couldn't take it to part with her. In fact, he didn't know if he could allow it even though she asked for it.
Nevertheless, he took steps towards the bedroom, he heard faint music playing and he wondered what it was about.
When he opened the door, his senses were wafted with a good scent and his eyes fell on the most unexpected sight. The room was decorated with flowers and candles with low pitched music playing. His eyes caught sight of her dressed in a short lace dress where he could see through her lacy lingerie. He saw her pouring drinks in two glasses and when she turned, he could clearly see her breasts as she hadn't put on a bra. His throat went dry at the sight.
She approached and handed him his glass which he got but his eyes were fixated on her breasts the entire time. How he wanted to take those nipples in his mouth! "You like it?" she asked and it's when his eyes travelled to her face. Her lips were painted with red lip gloss and he felt the sudden urge to lick it. Remembering her question, he nodded. She tossed her glass to his and raised it to take a sip. After she said," I want to apologise for everything. For rejecting you during these past days. It's just that, I had a lot of things on my mind. I'm really sorry." "May I know what was happening?" he asked. "I will tell you everything. But before, sit here and I show you something," she said and his eyes went back to her chest. When she turned to leave, he pulled her hand back and pressed his lips on her soft plump ones kissing and licking off her lip gloss.
