285 Dinner by Eigh (1/2)

''Dinner by Eight, Ecstasy Restaurant''

Xin Yong said and walked away. It took Jin Yue a few seconds to realize that she just fixed a dinner date with him.

She was going to have dinner with him!

He couldn't explain the profound joy that filled his heart at that moment. Does it mean that she read the letter and forgave him afterwards?

Was she going to be with him now?

Jin Yue asked himself a million questions; and no matter how much he thought about it, he felt that she had forgiven him. She no longer got angry when she saw him and she was okay with having dinner with him, which could only mean that she had forgiven him.

Jin Yue felt like walking up-to her and hugging her tightly but he stopped himself; he would wait till she told him by herself that she had forgiven him. After the party, Jin Yue offered to take her home and she didn't object. Throughout the journey, a happy smile plastered unfalteringly on his face and although he tried his best to cover it up, it was still evident.

Xin Yong noticed but pretended not to; she remained transfixed on the trees and houses till they arrived at her home. She thanked him and turned to alight from the car but before she could open the car door, Jin Yue had walked around and opened the car door for her.

Xin Yong was stunned by the gesture and waited a few seconds before alighting from the car. As she stood up, the distance between them closed up a bit. Xin Yong did not realize how close they were until she raised her eyes to look at him.

Their eyes met and at that moment, she found herself staring into the most perfect ocean blue eyes she had ever seen. She couldn't remember the last time they were this close, the last time she had admired his handsome face this close.

God! How would a man be this handsome!

She really wanted to look away but she could not bring herself to move, her legs stood rooted on the spot.

Her heart was beating rapidly against her chest and to make the matter worse, Jin Yue's eyes weren't faltering, he was staring at her with the same intensity.

After a long while of staring, Xin Yong summoned a great deal of strength and pulled her eyes off him, after some seconds she cleared her throat.

''Thank you for the ride… and don't forget, dinner tomorrow by eight. ''

She forced a smile before walking towards the house.

''Yeah… thank you. ''

Jin Yue replied as he watched her retreating form.

He felt it, and he knew she felt it too. The connection between them, it was so strong; and no matter how much she pretended not to know, not to feel it, it wouldn't just go away.\.

As soon as Xin Yong was safely inside her house, she slumped beside the door and clutched her heart.

Maybe after tomorrow, it would become more bearable. She had said she would not love him anymore but just one stare was almost reducing her to a pulp.

Xin Yong used her both hands to cup her face as she thought of her decision, again and again.
