Chapter 205 Thats how I am (1/2)

Ethan Lu stiffened as Lexi wrapped her arms around his neck and soon sent mild electric shock waves to every nerve of his system. Her breath touched his jaw and it immediately wafted his nostrils that made his heart go 'bathump' bathump' like crazy! Yes! Slowly, Ethan Lu was starting to go insane even before Lexi whispered her words.

”Ethan, what happened between me and him— that's all in the past. If he wanted to explain something to me, he should be the one to tell me not you…” Although Lexi's intention was pure, however, her actions showed otherwise because Ethan Lu barely got the gist of what she was implying due to her initiation. He had nearly had a heart attack earlier with her advances hence, why must she needed to take it to the next level?!

”Also, are you trying to sabotage us? Our relationship?” A playful smile formed on the side of her lips with her last remarks. When Lexi told her friend, Rika that she would reconsider it, she actually didn't mean that she would think about it now. However, seeing him like this— Lexi knew that she wasn't deciding on a whim but taking a calculated risk. After all, he's worth the shot.

Meanwhile, Ethan Lu's mind short-circuited before it was fixed and then repeat the cycle.

'Relationship? Like a real relationship— lovers? Also, is she really hugging me…?' Questions like these filled his mind as his hand slowly raised to touch the soft arms that were wrapped around the neck. That very instant his hand made contact with her arms, Ethan Lu's already dilated eye widened even more.

”You-- you mean… you, uhmm, I mean…--” Due to overwhelming emotions of relieved, shocked, gratefulness and many more— Ethan Lu stuttered and sounded like a fool as always.

God knows he quite abhorred himself when he could not get himself together before Lexi. He knew he must have looked like a buffoon or sounded like a clown every time. However, what could he do? It was not like he was purposely doing it— it just comes out naturally— it was as if she had this magical ability that caused him to stutter and make his heart flutter every single time.

”Haha,” Chuckling, Lexi slowly loosened her embrace and eventually let him go. She then moved and sat on a chair next to him with her pair of but-brown eyes locked on his constant change of countenance. ”Rika had been nagging me about this unlabelled relationship— Ethan… do you know why I didn't give us a label?”

Lexi leaned her side on the edge of the dining table as she supported her chin on the back of her hand. Still looking at him, Lexi was unaware that Ethan Lu had heard her conversation with Richard Si as she comes clean with him. ”Ethan, does having a label that important? I mean, even if a person is in an official relationship… even married ones too— if he wanted to cheat, he will.”

Lexi contemplated her words as she tried to avoid putting so much self-insertion as she focused on how she unbiased sees and understood things. Meanwhile, Ethan Lu slowly, like a rusted robot— turned his head to see her gorgeous front staring gently at him.

Just one glance—one glance, and his heart skipped a beat as Lexi's gaze was too loving that his heart completely felt completely secured for the first time. He peered at her without a word and attentively listened to her point of view.

”So, that's why I never really put much thought about the title because what's important is, you and I, we know what kind of relationship we have but… Rika was right— having labels won't hurt as well.” Subtly smiling, Lexi slowly fluttered her eyelids as she observed every change of his expressions.

”Lexi…” Unhurriedly sliding his hand over the surface of the table to reach for her free hand, Ethan Lu without faltering soon held her hand as he mildly rubbed his thumb on the back of her hand.
