460 Mine & Yours (1/2)

”I didn't know you care about me this much...” Dylan was genuinely touched by Xiu's words; who was taken aback to see Dylan's reaction. Especially when he hugged her from the side.

”Who cares about you?” Xiu cleared her throat to get back her composure. How could she easily let him see that she was indeed worried about him? That wasn't the kind of relationship they shared! It was a love-hate relationship where they could only openly hate each other but loving openly was out of the picture. ”I am worried about my boyfriend. Whatever you said must have made him worry for no reason. Can't you look for me instead? Stop disturbing him when he's working.”

Dylan smiled at her reaction. He couldn't help it. She was being way too obvious with her intentions.

Xiu slapped his arm saying, ”Stop smiling like a fool and go take a shower. You stink!”

Dylan refused to budge, ”No. I don't want to.”

”Dylan!” That low growl of hers got him. ”Get off of me, right now!” Dylan instantly let her go and backed off. She pointed towards the bathroom door, ”Shower!”

”Yes, boss!” Xiu narrowed her eyes at him and he ended up rephrasing, ”I mean, yes Shifu!”

Xiu was pleased to hear this response as she shooed him away and came downstairs. Looking at the mess, she was frustrated. It seemed like she had to do something about it. But first...

Xiu took out her phone to call Darren and asked, ”Why did Dylan call you last night?”

”And here I thought my Sweets was missing me,” came Darren's disappointed voice.

”Regan, be serious.”

”I'm always serious.”

”Regan!”

Darren heaved a long sigh, ”He called to blabber about something but I didn't hear it for long since he was drunk.”

”Not for long? The call lasted for five hours!” told Xiu while she picked up the cushions from the floor and placed the other things at their rightful places.

”What? Five hours? He didn't hang up?” Darren was shocked which confused Xiu. ”I actually put the phone on speaker and went to sleep. I have no idea what he talked about or when did he hang up.”

Xiu pursed her lips before she burst out laughing, ”So he really just blabbered to himself?” Saying that she saw something on the floor and picked it up, ”Oh, why did he throw such beautiful orchids on the floor?” She even took a small gift box and wondered out, ”There is even a gift.”

”Umm... Sweets,” came Darren's voice from the other side distracting her. ”How is the piano lesson going?”

”It didn't even start yet. The idiot just woke up,” grumbled Xiu while forgetting all about the bouquet of flowers in her hands and also the gift box. She got focused on complaining about Dylan's tardiness.

”Sweets, why do I feel like you feel more threatened by Dylan's presence than the fact that I'm here all alone and there are plenty of beautiful ladies around me? Aren't you worried that someone can seduce me here when you're not around?”

Xiu frowned slightly and ended up shrugging her shoulders which he couldn't see as she said, ”I'm not worried about that.”

”Why?”

”Because you can't find anyone who loves you more than I do,” replied Xiu.
