77 Yousre The Only One (1/2)

”Hey Jian..” She started but then lost the words and her nerve and stared at her hands.

”Yeah?” He stood opposite her the wind whipping his white shirt and hair. He stood tall and proudly, one hand holding onto the lines by his head.

”I-” Chang choked off her words.

'Can I bear it if he says that I'm not his only woman. What if He was right, and I am just a fling for now. Jian said he cares, but that's not the same as love, and I know he has duties to his family..'

”Chang.” One of his warm hands covered both of hers squeezing them. ”You can tell me anything.”

Liang Jian Amal saw the doubt, uncertainty, and sadness showing up in her face like yesterday. He wanted to ease that, but he couldn't until she told him what was eating away at her. He cupped his other hand under her chin drawing her eyes to him and placed a lingering kiss on her soft sweet lips.

She looked up at him and reached one of her hands into the top of her scoop necked dress and pulled out some photos, and held them to her chest her eyes closed.

”What are those?”

Keeping her eyes closed, her lips tight she handed the bundle to him.

Liang Jian Amal looked at every picture, his brow drawing tighter, the pictures had been taken at times when Miss Yan had appeared unexpectedly over the past few days. A few he noticed were from the night he had met Chang. His father had arranged the group of affluent women for him to wine and dine with, Miss Yan included. He now knew why that pejorative woman had been there at every turn over the last few days. It had all been orchestrated to Liang Ju-long's will.

'That old snake..'

”Chang.” He hardened his voice to draw her misty wavering eyes up to him. Her nervousness apparent as he held up the photos. He then started to shred them into little bits, scattering the scraps to the wind in front of her astonished eyes. ”Those women dont mean anything.”

”What about that one, you seem to be fairly close. She was really pretty and you two seemed to be a good match..” Chang started to mumble, just because he'd torn up the evidence didnt mean it still wasn't true.

”Are you jealous?” Chang bit her lip looking away.

Liang Jian Amal tacked the sail up and dropped the anchor, here was as good a place as any, they were a fair distance out, far from any prying eyes.
