It wasn't that Xiu had any doubts about Dylan's feelings. But she was still insisting to know what Dylan had to say. He had to have a clear view of what his own feelings were. Blindly trudging through this wasn't gonna end well for anyone.
In the case of Xiu and Darren, they both didn't know what were feelings they had for each other but they knew they had an attraction, a cosmic pull that was binding them together. But it was different for Dylan since Cali had clearly stated her feelings for him. While he was still uncertain about what he felt for her. He was still unable to give a name to his possessiveness, jealousy, and the feelings she evoked in his heart.
Hearing Xiu's question, Dylan was in deep thought. If she asked this question before he certainly wouldn't know what to say. But that kiss had only not only brought about feelings, it also brought clarity to him. A clarity he needed right now.
”I don't think I like her,” said Dylan. ”Ahhh!” he screamed at how Xiu pushed his head away before pulling his ear.
”What did you say? Are you still playing around or what?!” She was mad. No, she was super mad to hear that reply. She hated indecisive men who couldn't even decide what they wanted.
”Stop it. I meant my feelings for her are more than just like,” Dylan tried explaining himself and just as Xiu let his ear go. He rubbed his ear that had been brutally assaulted to the point that it had gone numb. Cruel! She was really cruel!
”More than like?” she repeated his words and since he nodded. She raised her hand again which made him lean backward automatically in response. Xiu rolled her eyes at him and put his head back on her shoulder saying, ”Sorry for overreacting. Your words just hit a mark badly. But you tell me more about these feelings of yours.”
Dylan didn't ask what she meant since he was still busy brooding over his sore ear. ”I honestly don't know what to tell you since I'm not sure what feelings these are. But I can assure you, I have liked her for years but never really dwelled into this. But last night, it was as if everything clicked. As if I suddenly found the missing piece of the puzzle. Her lips against mine felt so right. Her body pressed against mine felt like a breathtaking moment where I forgot to breathe. She tasted...”
”Too many details!” Xiu stopped him before he could go any further than that. She honestly just asked for his feelings and he was baring his soul and heart before her. She couldn't help fondling his thick strands of hair and even pulled a few in the process. ”Dumbass! You're supposed to say all that to her. Not to me.”
Dylan straightened up with a pouty and sullen look. ”How? She... She... Sigh!” He was vexed. ”I don't even know how to begin or where to begin. Also, I don't even know what's wrong with her.”
”Huh? Aren't you little too forward in thinking? We have gotten nowhere and you already think that we are meant to be?”
Xiu nodded her head without even thinking. ”She's Calista, you're Dylan. She's C and you're D. You both are just meant to be.” Dylan just blinked at her with a straight face. ”Get it? C and D always stay together in the alphabet.”
”I got it, I just don't find it very amusing,” he replied.
”Then I can only blame your poor sense of humor.” Xiu would never accept that there was something wrong with her sense of humor. As always, it was his fault for not laughing. Not hers. Not at all! ”Anyways, now stop wasting time and go look for her.”
Dylan shook his head. ”I can't go to find her. She went to meet Dazi. If she told him about what I did, he's gonna murder me.”
Xiu frowned at his reaction. ”Oi! Why would my baby murder you? He loves you like a brother, of course, he'd be more than happy to see you happy.”
