375 Addiction (2/2)

Xiu nodded her head as she sat up slowly as well. ”It is difficult to believe that. Everybody who said, 'I'm here for you.' eventually left.”

Darren held the side of her face as he stared into her eyes. No, he was looking into her heart. He was probing her soul with that piercing gaze of his. ”But I'm not everybody! I'm Regan Darren Salvay! I'm your Regan. You're stuck with me for life. I won't leave even if you push me away. I'm gonna be like that annoying bubblegum in your hair.”

Xiu giggled softly at his reference. She was loving the way his palm was against her jaw while his long fingers were buried in her hair. It felt so good to have him simply sit here with her. But she felt at a loss when he pulled away.

She seemed to have caused him to worry. And she needed to apologize for that. It wasn't her intention since she herself didn't know her health was deteriorating.

Xiu held his hand and pouted her lips, ”Baby, are you angry? But Xiu didn't want to worry you. Xiu really didn't know that Xiu had a fever. Also, Xiu didn't want to disturb her baby and his mother. How can Xiu do that? It's not that Xiu doesn't want to share everything with Regan baby but Xiu doesn't want Regan baby to worry about her so much.” He squinted his eyes at her act while she dragged her words while saying, ”Xiu is sorry, naaa! Aaa... Forgive Xiu, pleaseeee!

'But I'm not even mad at you,' he wanted to say that but he held himself back. She looked so adorable acting like this that he couldn't bring himself to tell her.

While Darren pressed his lips together, he was trying to conceal his smile that every single time came out whenever she was around. But since he was trying too hard, his appearance to Xiu seemed like he was mad at her. It made her heart drop.

Xiu held both his hands and kissed his forehead. ”Just one last time, forgive Xiu? Pleaseee! Xiu can't live without her Regan baby. And it's all your fault.”

”How is it my fault?” he retorted in a curious tone.

She kissed his right eye as she began, ”It is your fault.” She kissed the other eye. ”If you hadn't made me obsessed with you.” She kissed the tip of his nose. ”I wouldn't be in this condition.” She kissed his one cheek. ”Where I can't even imagine a future without you.” She kissed the other cheek. ”You know I'm addicted to alcohol.” She trailed soft kisses down his jaw. ”But now you've become a drug to me.” Her lips stopped right before his. It was so close but she didn't touch his lips with hers as she went on, ”You're the drug that makes me feel drunk without alcohol. And I'm addicted to you now. Besides, there is not even a cure for this addiction.”

She was leaning closer but just when Darren expected her lips on his own, she stopped and pulled away.
