405 Im Awesome! (1/2)
Darren thought he should have guessed this already that his mother had a conversation with Xiu. Now the question was how much did his mother tell Xiu? However, Xiu had no idea what he was thinking about as she answered,
”Yes, I had dinner with mom, and she...”
Darren cut her off as he abruptly kneeled down before her and stared up into her eyes. Xiu leaned back slightly in surprise while he said, ”Mom? Did you just call her mom?”
”Yeah,” Xiu nodded her head. ”She told me I can do it. Why? You don't like it?”
”Like it?” he chuckled to himself. ”I feel like I'm floating on cloud nine or something.”
He kissed her cheek and Xiu was unable to understand his excitement. What was up with him? Why were his hands on her knees shaking so much? Was it really that important?
”Are you that happy about such a simple thing?” she questioned looking into his eyes in wonder while her hands rested upon his to help his trembling self.
”It's not simple,” said Darren. ”Two most important women in my life have come together. Do you even know what kind of excitement that is?”
”I really don't,” answered Xiu honestly.
”It's like you're finally a part of my family.”
”Baobei, you're really not making much sense now.” Xiu laughed at him.
He held her face in his hands and said, ”Sweets, you're the part of me that completes me. Are you willing to be a part of my life? Are you willing to be that piece of a puzzle that holds all the answers to my life?”
”What is this?” She squinted her eyes at him. ”Is this perhaps another random proposal?”
Darren pursed his lips and looked at her thoughtfully, ”And if it is? What's your answer?”
Xiu stroked her chin, ”I wonder what are my options...”
”It's a yes or a yes,” he replied with a cheeky smile.
”Oh, that's like you're not even leaving a way out for me again. OW!”
Xiu yelped when Darren held her arms and pulled her down. Now, she was sitting between his legs with her back against his chest while his arms held her body tightly. ”That's because I'm never letting you go.”
