392 We Aint The Same (2/2)

Xiu placed her finer on her lips as she indicated for him to hush down but apparently, he didn't take the hint. Because...

”And I love you! Like a lot! As in a lot, a lot more than a lot!”

Xiu facepalmed herself as she heard him and also heard those giggles around her. Oh, why was everyone just standing there? Why were they so eager to enjoy this show? She wanted to vanish now! Remember, she once said she had come to hate becoming the center of attention. Well, right now, she was certainly at the center of everyone's attention.

But why was a smile creeping on her lips? And why wasn't she able to dislike this whole scene? In fact, why was her heart racing wildly?

”Go away, Regan!” she gritted out but with her twinkling eyes, she definitely didn't seem as scary as she could.

Darren rubbed the nape of his neck as he looked at her in anticipation. ”You won't say it back? You don't love me?”

Xiu gaped at him in disbelief. Is this for real? When did he turn into this kind of person? He was always so sensible but right now, he was acting like a teenager in love. And it wasn't even like they started dating just yesterday or something. They had been together for months now!

”I'm waiting!” his voice echoed making Xiu curse at herself.

Xiu walked back to his side and stared into his eyes, ”What are you doing Regan baby?”

”I'm seeing my girlfriend off like a good boyfriend.” He grinned widely. Xiu sighed out at his reply. ”So, you really don't love me?”

Xiu rolled her eyes at him before she leaned her head and kissed his lips taking him by surprise. ”You're not the only one who wants the whole world to know that I'm your girlfriend. I'd also like to claim my boyfriend before the whole world.” He couldn't help feeling giddy at her reply. ”And I love you more!”

Xiu didn't really care about the gossips that were circulating because of this show early in the morning at the entrance of the office building. In fact, she felt like floating in the sky when she realized how she finally accepted Darren as her boyfriend before people. It's never like she wanted to hide her relationship with him but since he was a public figure, she wanted to keep away from news or gossips for both of them.

She had just entered the elevator when her phone dinged, she lifted her phone and stared at the screen. Darren was the one who sent her a text which read; 'Have a good day! And don't forget to smile! ^_^'

Xiu chuckled as she read it. She was still staring at her phone when she exited the elevator at her floor and walked out. But her smile faltered a bit when she heard...

”You feel the pleasure, I feel the blues... We ain't the same.”
