Kiss

"Why do you look a little haggard than when I last saw you?" Ru Ran asked in concern.

Shin Tong could only blush and she shook her head quickly.

"Em, can I ask you a question, how did you know that brother in law is the person you wanted to spend your life with? My mother told me, hers was an arrange marriage but since Father is such an excellent man it wants difficult for them to cultivate their feelings," she spoke shyly.

"Initially I accepted him because I knew he would treat me well, but it didn't take long when I realised his life is more important than mine. That was when I knew I love him," said Ru Ran after thinking for some time.

"Are you interested in someone?," asked Ru Ran while looking at Shin Tong playing with her food.

"I.. I.. I don't know? I have never felt this way before so I don't know if this would consider attraction or interest or merely infatuation," she confessed looking confused.

"Well.. Do you think of what the other person most time? Like what he is doing, if he is thinking about you as well? Do you feel like you are not in control of your emotions and body if you are near him?..

She observed Shin Tong's movements who excitedly nod at each of her questions making her unable to continue but to laugh lightly.

She pinched Shin Tong's cheek and said, "You are definitely smitten and interested in that person."

"I.. Absurb.. No.. No..," denies Shin Tong.

"Tong er, you should not fight your feelings but learn to accept it and see what you are going to do with it, only by being honest to yourself, you won't find yourself so tired," advice Ru Ran.

"I know that because initially I was as confused with how I feel but only by coming to terms with it, my heart feels light. Think about it okay? Ji Yu is calling me, he is sending me back to the office, you'll be fine here. The bill is on me, okay?," she gave the daze Shin Tong a hug and left.

She saw Darren standing at the car the moment she exit the restaurant. They gave each other a smile and she got into the car and was greeted by Ji Yu.

"I want a kiss from my wife. She ditched me to eat lunch with someone else. I demand a kiss,"he said.

She shook her head at his childish behaviour." I will make it up to you tonight, " she said with a blush creeping up her face.

Ji Yu could not help but shout for joy inside." Then I will waiting for tonight, " he said as he winked at her.

He sent her back to her office, while he himself went back to work. Shin Tong could not believe it when she saw Darren waiting for her outside the restaurant. He then gesture her to come towards him and surprisingly she obediently comply. He helped her enter the car and he made himself comfortable at the driver seat.

"Can I take a bit of your time?" he asked.

She nod her head calmly but inside anxious. It was so quiet that the silence is suffocating her.

"Where are we going?" she blurted.

"I will be sending you back to your office after we visit a place," he said.

They then fell silent again. He brought her to the nearest orphanage within her office vicinity.

They did not get off the car, he then turned to look at her, "I am an orphan, I have nothing to offer a noble lady such as yourself. However, I am a hard working man and a straight forward person," he said.

"You.. Why are you telling me all this?" she asked in a stammer.

He then kept quiet and he then started the car's engine once again, indicating they will be leaving and the conversation has ended.

Shin Tong panicked, she suddenly felt like she is the biggest idiot and she might lose her chance, she grabbed his hand and said, "Wait!"

Surprised by her action, he looked up. He saw the fear and confusion in her eyes. Who said this woman had no expressions?

"Yes?" he asked acting dumb.

"Em, you should continue what you were saying, I am interested." she said as she patted his hand.

"actually, that was all I wanted to say," said Darren deciding to tease her further.

Shin Tong with a confused look in her face did not know what to do and the feeling of helplessness flash through her eyes for a fleeting second. She looks so alluring that he could not help himself but bend down and capture her lips with his.

Surprised by his actions, her eyes widened and made contact with his eyes that she felt drawn into a never ending abyss. Her parted lips allowed his tongue to slip in. The sensation of his wet tongue in her mouth, surprised her that she accidentally bit it causing blood to flow and both of them tasted the metallic taste of blood.

He came to his senses and pulled himself away. No wonder Ji Yu became such a rogue after having Ru Ran. It seems having a woman is truly not a bad thing.

Wiping their saliva off her lips and swallowing the bitter taste of blood in her mouth, she asked, "What is the meaning of that?"

He knocked her forehead and said, "I didn't know you were this dense?" with that said he smiled and started to drive.

Dumbfounded for a moment, she stared at him hatefully and said, "Who are you calling dumb? Hey, are you not going to explain?"

He ignored her and in a blink of an eye she had already arrived her office, he pushed her out and said, "I will pick you up later for dinner, see you."

Still in a daze, she could not believe her ears. Did he just say he will pick me up for dinner? Did he just leave after kissing her like that? How dare he did not explain anything?
