The night passed peacefully without any mishap. Darren drove Shin Tong home. In the car it was initially quiet before Shin Tong asked Darren, "Ren, Ran has already forgiven Ai Sha so easily and I'm not happy about it, should I visit Ai Sha tomorrow and see if she really has turned over a new leaf?"
Darren just shrugged his shoulder before answering, "Mm, I will accompany you to visit her after work if you want."
"You are not answering my question," she said unhappily.
"I did, Let me ask you this instead, would you not go if I say don't?" he answered quietly. This is him putting up a white flag to let her know he is not in for a fight.
She thought for awhile before answering him in a quiet tone, "Mm, you are right."
After some silence she spoke again, "Do you think I am hard to get along?"
She was staring nervously at her hands. Does this happen to other as well? Or is it just her? Why does she feel like she need to mold herself to be someone he likes?
He found a reasonable spot to stop the car surprising her. He then stared at her worried looking face.
"Sometimes, I really want to open up that skull of yours," he said in a serious tone.
"I find you enchanting like a spell I can't forget, refreshing like the morning breeze, fiery like an undying passion, a wonderful woman that treasures her friend very much," he answered.
He gave her a gentle kiss on her lips before he pull apart and said, "I am not romantic, quiet and speak only when necessary, aren't I hard to get along too? Are you regretting now that you chose to be with me?"
"Eh, I have no regrets whatsoever," she replied quickly before noticing a sly smile on his face.
Realising that she had blurted out her innermost thoughts, she blushed so hard.
"I know I am a good catch, good looking, supportive and understanding," he winked at her while boasting.
The initial low atmosphere in the car lightened up.
"Silly woman, let me tell you this, I choose a cow because I wanted a cow, I am not a person who wants a cow but chooses a pig instead and try to change that pitiful pig into a cow," he said with a laugh because he realised how fast her emotions changes as he continue to speak. The initial gentle and adoring look replaced with a glare from her.
"It's just a metaphor!" he raised both hands because she had already launched an attack on him attacking his waist.
He took the opportunity to lock her in his embrace making her feel helpless.
"Don't change who you are, I like you just the way you are," he whispered into her ear and nibbled her ear lobe.
Shin Tong felt her heart thumping wildly against his thumping chest. At this moment, she let all her worries and restrain go.
She looked up at him eyes filled with anticipation and annoyingly he pinched her nose and planted a kiss on her forehead before placing her back gently in her seat and buckled her up and drove the car away.
She was left speechless by his action. This man!
He chuckled loudly at her reaction and said, "Behave, I can't be eating you here in the middle of nowhere, if you want, we can head over to my place, I will gladly have a taste of every inch of you."
Her face immediately turned red and cursed softly under her breath, "Eat your head! Always taking a bite at me, you are supposed to eat food not me!"
"Did you say something? I didn't catch it," he said teasingly. In actual fact, he heard her clearly with his sensitive ears.
"I said, send me home!" she said loudly, declaring her stance.
"Darling, I am serious about loving you the way you are, you don't have to change for me, but I like it when you put an effort to look pretty for me," he said with a gentle smile before his gaze went back to road.
Her heart went thump, thump, thump, thump. There he goes again making her go soft.
"Then remember those words clearly, they say people always says sweet things at the start of each relationship and once the skin no longer taut and the breast starts to sag...
"I will still like you the way you are, especially if I am the cause of your sagging breast!" he completed her sentence with a boisterous laugh.
She pinched him hard at his waist!
"Hey, easy there, I am driving!" he laughed happily. These days, he had been laughing more, even his eyes twinkled whenever he thinks about their interactions. Ji Yu had been teasing him recently with his change of behaviour. So this is what it means to go crazy when you meet the right one.
Ignoring him, she turned up the radio that was playing the song I love the way you love me by Boyzone, complementing the atmosphere.
I like the feel of your name on my lips
And I like the sound of your sweet gentle kiss
The way that your fingers run through my hair
And how your scent lingers even when you're not there
And I like the way your eyes dance when you laugh
And how you enjoy your two-hour bath
And how you've convinced me to dance in the rain
With everyone watching like we were insane
But I love the way you love me
Strong and wild, slow and easy
Heart and soul so completely
I love the way you love me
