I am scared

"Whenever I try to do something, you pop up in my head and start making me awful again. The more I think about you, the more guilty I feel and surprisingly, the guilt wasn't because I did not tell my family about your stupid plans but I felt guilty towards you which made things even worse."

Wiping her tears away, she continued, "For some odd reason, I always felt like I have wronged you when it was pretty much clear that you had wronged me and my trust but it just didn't seem right. You made me feel miserable and I have never in my entire life left so helplessly and useless."

Pointing towards his chest, she fumed, "You are the reason why I look so awful with all the dark circles and puffy eyes. It's my best friend's wedding in a few days and I am the bridesmaid who looks so horrible. I did not go to the parlour for grooming because I was busy crying over us."

Grabbing her hand, he lowered his head and sighed, "I am sorry, I know I have hurt you alot and I deserve all the yelling and may be beating too. You can do anything that makes you feel better. I swear I wont say a word."

"Yes, you better don't utter a single word Andrew Gopez because if you do, I'll kick your ass and throw you in the sea," she grunted.

Obediently shaking his head, he said, "I won't, I am really sorry for hurting you Linyang and trust me, falling in love with you wasn't a part of my original plan but I did and I am glad that it happened." Pausing for a while, he added, "Maybe for a short period of time but you did make me feel complete and losing you was like losing a part of my soul."

Without saying anything, she threw herself into his embrace. "You have no idea how badly I want to kick your ass but I can't and I don't want to. I just want to—" stopping midway, she cupped his cheeks and pressed her lips on his.

Completely taken aback from her sudden action, Andrew widened his eyes in shock and stood there stiff and glued to the ground. At this point, he wasn't even hoping that Linyang would even spare a glance at him let alone kissing him and not to forget that this was actually their first kiss.

Pulling away after sometime, she slapped his shoulder, "Why didn't you tell me that you went to the same college as Liang and others? You also kept things like working with them away from me. You do know that keeping things away from each other causes problems in relationships and—"

Without letting her complete the entire sentence, he grabbed the back of her head and pressed his lips on hers just like she did a while ago but this time, the kiss was much more intense and satisfying.

Lifting her by her waist, he wrapped her legs around his waist and kicked the door shut before heading towards the bed.

Carefully placing her on the bed, with their lips still glued together, he hovered her body over his.

Hesitating for a couple of seconds, she continued, "I don't mind us being—I mean doing that but I haven't slept properly since weeks and my head is not in it's best state right now. I do know that you are going through the same thing right now so why don't we nap for a while and then continue after we wake up."

She really had a really tough time dealing with her emotions and guilt but the lack of sleep made it even worse. So now that everything was back to normal, she wanted to rest her eyes for sometime holding him, feeling his warmth.

Pressing his forehead against hers, he chuckled, "My crazy little Linyang." He then flipped over and pulled her into his embrace before covering the lower half of their body with the quilt.

Snuggling closer, she took a deep breath before closing her eyes and fell asleep within seconds.

Kissing her forehead, he hugged her tighter and smiled before falling asleep.

….

Unlike the other couple who were finally catching some sleep lying in each other's embrace, Qiang and Guang were discussing something very important.

"And you knew about this? How could you not tell me Qiang?" Guang snapped

"It's not like I wanted to lie to you but I knew you would react this way so I thought—"

Cutting her off, he retorted, "Why shouldn't I react this way? I just found out that my sister is dating someone who we literally grew up calling brother Huang, how can you expect me not to freak out."

"I think you are overreacting now, it's not a big deal."

"Not a big deal? How can you say that its nit a big deal? May be it isnt for you but it's a huge deal for me and—" he stopped shouting midway when Qiang looked at him with teary eyes.

Cupping her face, he panicked, "What happened honey? Why are you crying? Are you hurt somewhere?"

"You shouted at me and that also so many times, I am scared," she sobbed before clutching onto his shirt.

Wiping her tears away, he sighed, "I wasnt shouting at you, I would never do that. I was just mad with the whole brother Huang and Huiling thing. I am sorry for scaring you, I really didn't mean too."

"It alright, i just dong like the it when you behave this way."

Wrapping his arms around her waist, he gave her a peck on her lips, "I am sorry, I promise I will never do that again."

"One more kiss and you are forgiven."

Without staying anything, he leaned forward and captured her lips. Who was he to say no to his beloved's demands?

"What the fuck are you both doing?"
