I Love You, Qingxia

Tang Xiao and Qingxia came back very late, and by the time they got home Madam Tang and Xie Ming already left the house and the lights were off.

Qingxia went straight to the switch to turn the lights on, and at the same time Tang Xiao also made his way to the same switch.

As Qingxia lifted her hand to the switch, Tang Xiao did same causing their hands to make contact.

As his hand made contact with Qingxia's, he felt her tense,and he felt the heat run down his spine, and just as she was about to flinch her hand away from his, he grabbed it and held it tighter.

They were so close, that he could hear her uneven breathing, and he knew he had an effect on her.

He could feel his third leg react, and he wanted nothing but to run his hands all over her body.

But he also knew she was not ready, so even if he wanted to, he couldnt take her.

More than her body, he wanted her heart, so immediately he turned the switch on.

The moment the lights were on,  he took a step back, giving her enough space.

Once there was enough space between them, she turned around to face him, but didn't meet his gaze.

The both of them just stood there, not saying anything.

Qingxia was nervous and she couldn't bring herself to look him straight in the eyes, so her gaze were fixed on her cold fingers.

After a while, Qingxia decided it's was time to go to her room.

"I will go up to my room." she said quietly.

Without waiting for his response, she walked past him and headed towards the direction of the stairs.

Just before she could take a step up, Tang Xiao spoke to her.

"Are you tired?" he asked with a low voice.

"Do you want to see a movie with me?" he asked again.

"But it's already late, and we can't go to the movie theater this night." she replied.

"Who said anything about going to the theater, I mean here, seeing a movie here with me."  he said and there was a hint of smile on his face.

"Oh... Okay."  she replied, and made her way back to the sitting room.

"So... What movie are we supposed to see?" she asked.

"The Wandering Earth, it's 2019 Chinese movie, I'm sure you will love it." he replied.

"Okay." she said and sat down on three seater sofa.

And once Tang Xiao had played the movie, he walked to the switch and turned off the lights, then he went straight to the 3seater sofa and sat down close to her.

The movie started showing, but for as long as the movie played, his mind was not on the movie, he can't tell you what happened in the movie and same with Qingxia.

Their eyes were fixed on the television but their minds are on the person next to them.

Tang Xiao was struggling with himself, he wanted to pull her closer, so he can hold her in his arms, but at the same time, he didn't want to scare her.

As time went by, Tang Xiao saw that Qingxia had already fallen asleep, and was having a hard time balancing her head.

So he pulled her closer to himself, and she relaxed in his arms.

Tang Xiao took the remote and turned of the movie, after all he wasn't interested in the movie,  the movie was just an excuse to keep her down with him,  and now that she is asleep,  he want to keep her in his arms for a while, before he will carry her to her room.

Seeing the girl in his arms, she looked so fragile and beautiful.

Unconsciously, he pulled her more closer, and placed a kiss on her forehead.

As he removed his lips from her forehead, he placed a kiss on her nose, then on her right cheek, before he moved to her lips, but hesitated a little.

He knew kissing her without her consent was wrong but he couldn't help it, he wanted to know what her lips would taste like, how it will feel on his own lips, so immediately he placed his lips on hers.

As first he intended to pull away after one kiss,  but the moment his lips touched hers, he couldn't bring himself to pull away, he kissed her more and more with so much desire.

After he had quenched his taste, he decided to pull away.

Once he had pulled away,  he used his thumb to wipe her bottom lip, smiling.

He trailed his hands all over her face and said.

"I love you, Qingxia."

"Why can't you see it?"

Then he pulled her head to rest on his chest, while he relaxed a little.

************

Waking up the next morning Qingxia tried getting out of bed.

But felt something hard,  this bed she was sleeping on was very hard, then she opened her eyes, so she can see clearly.

And that's when she saw that she was not on her bed, but she was lying down on Tang Xiao.

She was shocked, she didn't know when she fell asleep last night, not to talk of sleeping like this.

Still wondering, her gaze fell on his face and she was mesmerized.

His face was well structured, he is so handsome, even while he was sleeping.

She can never get tired of seeing this face, even if that's the only thing she would see for the rest of her life.

Her lips curved up.

'How I wish it could be like this everyday, sleeping close to you,  and waking up with you by my side.'  She thought.

But she can't be selfish here, he already had a woman he will marry.

Even though the thought of him being with Xie Ming hurts her,  there was nothing she could do.

She was grateful,  he introduced her as a friend to his mother and not a whore from the club,  and that was enough for her.

So she tried to get up from Tang Xiao's body, but her move, woke him up.

The moment Tang Xiao opened his eyes,  Qingxia hastily got up, and Tang Xiao sat up.

Rubbing his eyes, he greeted her.

"Good morning."

"Good morning."  she replied.

"I'm sorry I fell asleep in your arms." she apologized.

"Hey, it's okay,  there's nothing to apologize for. Okay?."

"Okay, I'm going to my room to freshen up."

Then she turned around and left him, while he also made his way to his room.

About an hour later, when Tang Xiao came down,  he was already dressed for work, and Mrs Wang was already there, with a cup of coffee in her hands.

"Your coffee sir."

"Thank you." he said while taking the cup of coffee from her hand.

After taking a few sip,  he placed the cup on the table,  and made his way to the door.

But before he can leave the house, he stopped, turned around and said.

"Make sure she takes her breakfast on time. " he instructed.

"Yes sir." she replied.

And Tang Xiao walked out of the door, made his way to his car and drove off.
