Chapter 93 - No Name Feelings (1/2)

When did Xiu become bold enough to do this, she didn't know. But when she felt the chains in her heart breaking, she just knew she had to do something. And she did. She chose to kiss him.

She chose to take a leap of faith or destiny. Whichever it was, she just knew that she had to do it. If not tonight, then when? If not now, then it'll become never. So, kicking the caution out the window was the right thing to do for tonight. Besides, she still had a trump card of being drunk. This kiss wouldn't hurt their friendship with that trump card.

With that thought in mind, she had pressed her lips against his. The scent of his body was overwhelming and yet why did she find it addictive? As the tips of their nose touched, and she felt the warmth of his breath, she was breathless already.

After a few seconds, she pulled away and averted her eyes from his face. It was a very quick peck on his lips but it was enough to start a spark. Darren was standing just like before with a dumbstruck look. He really couldn't tell if it was his delusion or reality? If it was real then why did she do it? Why with him?

Seeing her scratching her head, he asked, ”Why? Why did you kiss me?”

Xiu cleared her throat and replied, ”Does every feeling has to have a name? Sometimes, we can just go with the flow. Right now, I felt like it and I did it. Don't force me to overthink.”

Darren was stunned to hear her reply. Not every feeling had a name. Just like not every question had an answer. It seemed so simple then why was he making it so difficult? He felt lighthearted as he let all the thoughts in his mind to take a break.

He pinched Xiu's chin and lifted her face up to face him as said, ”That's not how people kiss. It was a very fleeting peck on the lips.”

Xiu pursed her lips as she shifted her irises to look heavenwards. ”Well... Doesn't matter, I'm gonna delete this night from my memory anyway.”

Instinctively, Darren's arm lifted as he wrapped it around Xiu's waist and pulled her close. He leaned close to her ear and spoke in a very low voice, ”I really hate it when people forget me that easily. And oddly, I don't wish to hate you.”

”Huh?” Xiu arched her brows in question.

But...

The answer she got was...

He pressed his lips against hers and Xiu felt like a light had ignited in her brain and her whole body was feeling its warmth. His kiss wasn't like hers. It wasn't a peck. When he moved his lips against hers softly, that's when Xiu felt it. It was one of those real kisses; one that made you seem like the sky had lit up with fireworks.
