Bai Xi's Pov:
".....And yes that will be all " I shut the menu and nodded at the waitress.
I looked outside the window as the weather in Sisuzane' turned quite chilly , seems like it's going to rain. I hate rain and the gloomy weather it brings , all dark and shadowy. Everything translucence and opaque giving a vary feeling.
It has always put me off and often reminds me of the time that I don't want to remember. The time that I spend in the shadowy walls all fitted with mirrors , casting shadows all over the walls.
It is my biggest scare and also my biggest power as the only way to survive shadows is to light the dark corners.
And that's what I did and am still doing, lightening everything in my surroundings and sometimes people's life as well.
A shadow flickered over me , dwarfing me up with it's size and just for smallest of second I felt the shadows creeping up on me , but I dismissed the thought the same way , as I turned to face the person hovering over me.
And here I thought the shadows were scary.
Anything more scarier than that, is the furious face of my husband who seems angry and I think I can see smoke coming out of his ears.
And what a Great sight it is!
Though even at his worst , how he still managed to look so hot is beyond me.
I have given up on this guy and his otherworldly beauty . I don't know how I get charmed a little more than before every single time I see him.
I sighed and asked the man with a blank expression , "What are you doing here?", I gave him a once over.
He is wearing a three piece suit, his body stature lean but powerful. I would have mistaken his body for being thin had I not felt those rippling muscles underneath my hand last night. The mere thought of last night send a tingle down my spine. I shivered but didn't let it show on my face.
Comparing our looks , I thought he looked well rested and freshly showered and I....just the opposite, with a drool stain on the side of my face, my neck bend to one side, clothes wrinkled from last night and my hair must look like a bird's nest.Though I did tried to tame it all before coming here.
How can God be so unfair?! If it wasn't him telling me off I wouldn't have been looking this bad either. So yeah this is also his fault.
I sighed inwardly at the situation and turned my eyes back to his to see him looking over at me with so much intensity, that I got goosebumps all over me.
"Well , you didn't answer me , what are you doing here?" I asked him again as I turned back to check on the waitress bringing my food.
Gosh can they hurry up already, I am hungry dammit!!
"Where did you go last night? And where did you stay?" he asked in a clipped but enquiring tone , with a no bullshit attitude.
I didn't answer him, just turn to look over my shoulder to find my food nowhere in sight. I have ordered so long ago and they are taking way too much time.
I am feeling frustrated as I am hungry as hell. Also I got a brooding man sitting in front of me asking me stupid questions.
"I went to your room last night. You weren't there",he said as he looked at me, his eyes scrutinizing my every movement.
I sighed again and said nonchalantly , "Does it matter?" I shrugged my shoulder to put emphasis on it.
"Where did you stay? I looked in nearby hotels, you weren't there as well. So where did you sleep?" , he asked his eyes assessing my sleep riddled look.
Well what he said terrified me as that tells how much powerful he is. This is scary!!
I need to stay away from this man. But that can wait until I eat something.
I pouted and put my head down on the table to break his observant gaze and looked outside the window again.
It has started to rain and I can see my own reflection in the mirror, all pale with drooping brows and dark circles around my eyes. I look like a train wreck , only a few times more worse.
My stomach growled loudly and I blushed a deep shade of red. I avoided looking at Si Yihan directly , he must have heard it as well. Instead I tried to look at him through the mirror discreetly and my eyes widened in response as I found him looking at me through the mirror. His eyes met mine and I quickly shut my eyes to avoid any further awkward eye contact.
Gosh this is awkward and also hot! His gaze was hot!!!
Damn it , where are those waiters when you need them the most!
At this rate , I might go inside and cook my own food , but the sad part is I don't know how to cook.
Another sad reality of my life. I love eating food , actually , I am a big foodie , but I don't know how to cook.
Nope , nothing except maybe some burnt noodles with eggs , which I only managed to learn due to the need to feed my stomach. Other than that I don't know a single thing about cooking.
"Come with me ", a deep husky voice said from somewhere above me. I opened my eyes to look up and found those gorgeous pair of beautiful brown eyes looking at me .
I must have looked lost as his hand closed around my hand and he pulled me up from my seat so suddenly , that I almost stumbled on my legs , but he held me tight as his other arm snaked around my waist making me squirm a bit.
"Come" , he pulled me with him , his hand holding my right hand while the other still wrapped around my waist.
"But I haven't eaten anything yet and I am very hungry. I might faint if I don't eat soon." I told him in a whiny voice as I really don't have the energy to go anywhere without my food. I am barely functioning normally.
"I know a good place to eat . I'll take you there . It is more hygienic and definitely with much better services.", he said as he pulled me along with him and outside the diner's door.
A black sleek car stood along the curb , whose magnanimity got me to my forget my hunger just for a second before it returned with a vengeance and my gaze went back to him.
"Get inside", he told me as he pulled the door open. I gave him a glance but did as he said and got inside. He shut the door and got in from the other side.
"Put your seat belt on" he said and I did so as he told the driver ,"To Sheldon's", he told him and the driver nodded back , as he took me to God knows where.
