It was really Hao Yang and I was laying in his lap looking at him. I felt special, but also embarrassed. I stood directly back on my legs and when I sat down next to Bea I felt an upcoming blush on my cheeks. Hao Yang looked a bit nervous, but tried to mask it with a smile.
"Are you ok?" He asked worriedly.
I gathered my courage, a waterfall of words came out of my month. They were not understandable, so there came an awkward silence. The Tension was hanging all over the car. I knew I would not talk till someone else would start a conversation about something else.
The ride got more embarrassing when the limousine stopped abruptly and I fell on Hao Yangs lap again. I tried to get up as fast as possible, but I hurt my knee.
I assured it was just a scarts and it didn't hurt, but it hurted like hell. It was almost not possible to stand. O no what do I do know I thought by myself. I gathered all my strength to get up and finally I could find the courage and stood up from his lap again.
"Bea it hurts too much." I whispered to her, so Hao Yang couldn't hear it.
He laughed and said, "you don't have secrets for me right?"
"No we don't." The words I had said had broken the tension between Hao Yang, Bea and me. We all were laughing at the joke till the car again stopped and the driver came looking through a holl in the wall from the Limousine. "We are at the restaurant mister Yang. Also Misses enjoy your meal."
Another man from the restaurant let us out of the limousine and then showed us the room where we would eat. It was so beautiful inside. Everywhere were red and yellow flowers and on the wall there was a big red dragon on a yellow wall. Everything matched. It was amazing how creative they had been. Now I wanted to know what the food would taste like.
I saw in the corner of my eyes that Hao Yang sat next to me and sometimes he lurcked at my face. No it couldn't be true. He doesn't like me in that way and also I barely know him.
When the food came into the room, I remembered we didn't order anything.
Hao Yang saw me looking nervous. "Don't be so stressed I made an order for the three of us. Bea was looking like she would really eat it all in 10 minutes. She was liking her lips and couldn't wait to grab food from the plates. It all seemed a bit expensive and I felt my stomach get uneasy. It seemed all so delicious, but still I didn't feel like eating at all. I looked around and just took a few strawberries. When I tasted them I thought I would never eat something as delicious as this, not even in Belgium. It had a different taste than I could remember where I was from.
Then a bit later when we were going to get out someone knocked on the door. It was the waiter. "Did you all like the food?"
"It was amazing." Bea said and she licked her lips again."
I thought for a while she liked the waiter, but then she looked again dreaming at Hao Yang and I knew she still liked him. Still it was just a fan crush. I had to admit that I felt just the same way as she did. His looks alone made my heart pound faster.
When he stood there talking to the waiter he probably knew he looked so good when he laughed with his bare white teeth. His smile gave me butterflies.
When he saw I was staring at him I looked the other way. It seemed Bea had done the same because she looked at me with a red face. I guess we both looked like tomatoes.
When we were back at the hotel Hao Yang waved us out in the limousine. We hadn't talked much so he scheduled a new meet and greet with us. My knee felt much better. It was going to be a brus probably the next morning. Bea looked at me and then started to laugh. "What was going on between the both of you? So awkward."
"Stop, this is not funny." I answered her with an angry glare at her.
"Ok ok it was kind of funny." I started blushing.
By the time we got in our room our bellies were hurting from laughter and we laid down on the bed so we could breath in and out and stand up again.
"I am going to take a shower." With those words I left Bea alone in the bed. Before I went into the shower I took my pajamas and went into the bathroom. I was constantly thinking of Hao Yang's eyes who were lurking at me in the restaurant.
I felt a burning sensation on my lips and I thought about kissing him. Although he was not here. Still I was fantasizing how his lips would feel on mine. The warm water of the shower made it more hot, but I didn't want to touch myself in that way because Bea was here and I didn't want her to hear me. Still I didn't want to fantasize in that way yet about him. It was just too early and it was probably just for a bit I felt this way. I knew it couldn't be forever with Hao Yang's career as a Chinese professional actor. His fans wouldn't like a girl together with him from another country than China. That was for sure.
When I came out of the bathroom I saw Bea was probably calling with her mom. What she said next surprised me….
