351 She Felt Righ (1/2)
Let's do a quick rewind of Dylan's side of the things...
It had been perfect. Actually, too perfect that it even made Dylan feel like it was a dream. He might be naive when it came to feelings but he wasn't naive or inexperienced in kissing. He has had his fair share of 'fun' in life. And that's why it was very surprising to him that a mere kiss was making him feel all those feelings that he couldn't even describe in words.
But he could tell that the kiss was special because of her. Because it was Cali, he felt like he was back in his adolescence. He really felt like a teenager who was getting excited because his crush had the same feelings as he did. But the main point here was that Dylan actually had never gone through that feeling before.
His first and last real relationship wasn't the result of his flirting. It was the other way around. His ex was the one who came on to him rather than him doing it.
However, this one kiss was able to evoke those feelings that he never thought he'd be able to feel. Even when their lips parted, Dylan's hands didn't let her get away. He found a strange comfort with her body pressed against his own. Perhaps, that's why he didn't even think before sleeping with her.
”Get you head of the gutter,” rebutted Dylan as he looked at Xiu's sparkling eyes. There was definitely something unholy running through that scheming head of hers. ”Nothing of that sort happened.”
Xiu's face looked like someone dropped a bucket of cold water on her, ”You both slept in the same bed but nothing happened? What were you doing then?”
”I just hugged her to sleep,” answered Dylan in his innocent voice making Xiu want to smack him but she held herself back because let's face it, she had expected this from him even with his bad record.
”You have a track record which is by the way not very innocent but with the one person you had to take action, you chickened out?”
”No, I didn't chicken out,” retorted Dylan and ran his fingers through his hair again. ”I...” he tried to rethink his words before speaking, ”I didn't think it was right.”
”Woah! She isn't the right person?”
Dylan pulled a strand of her hair making her yelp, ”No! Will you let me finish? I said it didn't feel right. I was talking about time. The timing seemed off because she felt so damn right that I didn't want to rush in like a fool.”
Xiu's face brightened up as she grinned and forgot all about him pulling her hair. She simply slid close to him and grinned even more widely. ”So, she felt like that right person, huh?” The way she was wriggling her brows at him was really annoying but it somehow made him chuckle at this idiot. Her finger brushed his ear adding, ”Damn! Dylan, your ears are burning now. How shy can you get?”
”You know you are acting like a jerk?” he spat at her with an undertone of anger which seemed too shallow to make Xiu take it seriously.
”Not everything should be blamed on the hangover,” said Dylan.
Xiu shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. ”Then I guess I am a jerk. So what? Deal with it, since you have to bear me for long now.” While Dylan shook his head at her, she tapped his shoulder and urged him to continue his story.
And then Dylan went back to his story...
Well, everything was great at night even when he hugged Cali to sleep. But when he woke up, she was missing from the bed.
”She ghosted on you?” Xiu looked horrified as she stared at Dylan with sympathy.
Dylan sighed out heavily. It was the umpteenth time she was disturbing him but he couldn't even do anything. He just stared at her saying, ”No wonder you and I find each other special.” Xiu knitted her brows at him. ”We share the same brain cell because that's exactly what I thought as well.” Xiu laughed at him as he added, ”I really thought she ghosted on me but I was wrong...”
