385 Paranoia (1/2)

Xiu slowly peeked out of the bathroom door and found Darren sitting right there at her bed. He also lifted his eyes to see her biting her lips. ”What's up?” he questioned.

”I forgot my clothes,” she answered softly.

The smile on Darren's face took a different turn. What luck! Even heaven was on his side right now!

Darren just nodded his head and kept looking at her face. Xiu was really annoyed that he was neither saying anything nor was he leaving the room. What was he trying to do? Didn't he get the hint? Of course, he got the hint! He was just trying to irritate her on purpose now!

”Regan baby, can you pass me my clothes? Or maybe just leave the room?”

”Why should I?” he responded while wiggling his brows. ”Come out and take it yourself. I already told you, I have seen everything.”

”Can you please stop repeating that?” Xiu was really frustrated now at the way he was teasing her again and again. ”Give me the clothes. Pleaseee!!!”

Darren sighed out and walked into her closet to get her nightwear. As he passed it to her, Xiu's fingers brushed lightly against his hand but it burnt her skin. This was really a danger. Did he say they were gonna live together? How was she gonna keep her sanity around him for 24/7? She might really combust within the very first few hours.

When Xiu came out after drying her hair and wearing the black silk pajamas that he chose for her, Darren was leaning against the headboard of the bed. He was so carelessly sprawled on her bed as if it was his own. But could she really complain?

”This got wet,” Xiu raised her hand to show her wet bandage which earned a glare from Darren.

”I told you to let me help but I don't know what nonsense runs through that head of yours that you didn't let me help.” He was complaining in a soft voice as he got up to take the first-aid kit and helped her in changing the bandage as he said, ”Don't throw a punch again if you're gonna hurt yourself like this. If you want to beat someone, call me. I'll do it for you.”

Xiu smiled at him. ”Would you have punched Ah-Si if I asked you to?”

”Anyone!” he retorted sincerely looking into her eyes to show his conviction. ”As long as you want it.”

Xiu hugged his waist and buried her face into his chest, liking the feeling of the fabric of his shirt rubbing against her skin while his scent tingled all her nerves.

Darren settled up in bed with her still clinging to him as he said, ”Why are you suddenly acting so clingy? Just a while ago, you...”

”Get over it already,” she chided in a soft tone and he sealed his lips. ”Also, why can't I be clingy? You said you love to see me being clingy.”
