Chapter 93 - No Name Feelings (2/2)
Xiu had closed her eyes without knowing it. She was letting her other senses feel everything. It felt like soft rain was falling but there was an explosion within her. A million feelings were mingling together making a mess out of her. She didn't know what it was and neither did he, but they both felt that feeling... It just felt right.
There was nothing formal or mechanical about the kiss. Instead, one would say they were the lost lovers who had finally found their home. Xiu felt like she was defenseless against him but she didn't know the real person without power was him. Darren didn't know why but he didn't want to let go. It was like he found the missing puzzle piece of his life and it felt good.
But the question was... When did Bai Xiu become his missing puzzle piece? Wasn't his puzzle piece lost forever?
As they both pulled away, Xiu was still staring dumbfoundedly at him. His grey eyes stayed on her face for a long time before he said, ”I dare you to forget this.”
”Can you let me go?” Xiu asked lowering her head.
Darren raised his hands to show her and said with an amused grin, ”I have already done so.”
Xiu looked down and realized that his arm really wasn't around her waist anymore. Then why was she still standing so close to him? With a horrified look, she took a step back to make some distance.
”Follow me closely, I don't want you losing your way back,” said Darren as he turned to hide the swirls of emotions in his eyes. That complicated pondering look.
Xiu pressed her lips together but followed him closely. To make sure she wouldn't lose her way, she held Darren's jacket from behind with her index finger and thumb. She did it cautiously and hesitatingly. But she really didn't trust herself at the moment.
She wasn't very drunk, to begin with, and after drinking that sobering medicine and sitting in the cool breeze, she was almost sober now. Then why was she unable to trust the functioning of her own body? Her tongue darted out to caress her lips and she could still feel the tingling sensation of his lips on her.
Darren had felt her presence close behind and even smiled when she held his jacket. It was as if she was afraid, he would really disappear like before. Such a silly person she was.
Even throughout the elevator ride, Xiu didn't let him go. She only let his jacket go when they reached the front of the door. Xiu punched in her passcode and turned to look at him.
”Stop thinking, and go to sleep.” He gestured for her to enter the apartment and she did.
As for himself, as he entered his own apartment, he leaned his head against his door and hit it twice. ”Argh! Regan, what the hell did you do?!” He held his head in his hands and gritted his teeth. ”Why did you kiss Sweets? What were you thinking?” Hitting his head against the wall, he answered his own question, ”That's right. I wasn't thinking at all!”
