379 This Can Wai (2/2)

”Can you really punch though? Do you even know how to throw a punch?” Cali really thought he was kidding. After all, Dylan would never hit a girl. Yes, that was his stupid excuse when he first lost in a fistfight with her. She was still amused at how he was living in an era where he thought girls couldn't hand his ass to him in a fight!

Dylan held her wrist and put her hands over her head against the wall as he whispered, ”Do you wanna try? Do you really wanna see whether I can punch now or not?”

This close, this posture, this exchange of breath, this very moment...

Everything was just right. The warmth of his body against hers was enough to make her forget that she was supposed to escape from his grasp. But then again, she was already captured in his love why would she want him to let go? If anything, she wished he'd continue being this close. It felt good.

”You don't take me seriously or what?”

”I take you... very seriously though,” she never stuttered except for this man before her. Why did he have this effect on her? She was having trouble forming words with his breath hitting her face at such close proximity. ”You never noticed though.”

Dylan frowned in confusion at her last words. ”Abou that kiss...” he began but her phone's ringtone stopped him. ”You can ignore it.”

”I can't though,” said Cali as she looked at the caller id and picked up the call, ”Hey, new friend! What's up?”

”I found your cousin. Come and meet me at the restaurant,” came Ying's calm but lethargic voice.

”You did what? Really? You're not playing with my feelings now, are you?”

”Fuck off! Do I even have time to play around? Just come down already! Or I'm leaving!”

”I'm coming!” Cali instantly hung up the call and looked at Dylan who was giving her serious doubtful looks. ”I have to go. Let's talk later.”

”Can't it wait?” he argued.

”No, but this whatever it is between us. It can wait,” replied Cali as she ran off in the direction of the elevator. She was way too excited to learn that her cousin was finally found. How could she contain herself?

But...

'That new friend! Playing with my feelings! And I'm coming!' sounded so different in Dylan's mind that he couldn't even explain it himself. Can you blame him? She left him for whoever was on that phone call! Like, what the bloody hell?!

Were Xiu's words gonna be true? He was finally gonna run after someone?
