So You Came Back

He lays back and stretches his arms.

"See now i can tell you just lied about me."

"I'm serious! Being the "quiet" one a school you sure have an amazing voice. Your parents are so lucky to have you!"

His smile went away and turned into a frown.

"I don't have parents."

I put the water down on the table.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know."

He chase our frowns away by showing a smile.

"It alright. Now let's enjoy this day."

I knew he was faking it. It was what I used to do before I came here. My ex boyfriend, my old friends who turned out to be my enemies away stood on top of me. Their parents were shareholders of my dad's company and they would sometimes threaten me with that. It was hard.

I put my hand in his and smile back.

"Let's!"

We laughed, sang, and ate more food. The hours went by fast. Soon everyone walked back home and Zi xin walked me back. We were silent and he would look at the ground. We arrive at my house gate, we stop and I turn to him.

"Thank you for walking me. I'm sorry if it causes you a lot of trouble walking back."

He smiles and shakes his head, "it's not that far from here. See you tomorrow?"

"Yeah."

I walk to my house and open my door but before walking in. I give him another look, he was still smiling, he finally noticed me looking and waves. I wave back and walk inside, shutting the door. I take a breath and run up my room. I undress and head into the shower. When i come out my mother was sitting on my bed.

"Mom! I'm naked!"

My mother scoffs, "I gave birth to you. Now, tell me who that boy is?"

I straighten my back, "boy? What boy?" I say nervously.

"Girl. Don't try to hide it. The boy who walked you home just now! I saw from my window.

"Okay okay." I dig in my closet "his name is Zin xin Wang. He's my desk mate and just happened to be friends with a new friend of mine."

I put on pajamas and pat down my hair with the towel.

"Zi xin Wang you said?"

"Yes...why?"

"His father is a friend of your father. Xiaoxiao.."

"I know I know, mom," I sit next to her "but I'm sure he isn't like the others. He was very kind today."

"Okay, but just be cautious."

"Okay okay!" I pull my mom out my room "can I sleep now?"

"Alright" she kisses my head 'goodnight."

"Goodnight."

I close my door and sit on my chair. I opened my laptop and scan through the facetagram. I saw that my ex boyfriend and best friend got together after I left. Then I saw a holiday night light event happening next week during the weekend.

I was excited and close my laptop.

"Maybe I'll ask li xia and them if they want to go."

I walk to my bed and lay down between the sheets and blanket. Warming up and slowly drifting into a dream.

We continue to drive down the road. I step out of the memories of our past.

"It's was a fun experience until..you left."

"Let's go stay at my house."

When we arrive at the house there was a woman standing by his gate.

I look at his face and saw that he was furious and stomped out of the car.

I watch from inside the car, they were arguing while she pulled on his shirt. Then he points at me.

The woman lets go of him and comes to the car. I step out and looked closely.

"Li Li?"

She slaps my face, making me lose my balance.

"You slut! Still the same from high school!"

She tries to slap me again but then Zhi Xiang grabs her arm.

"That's enough Li Li." He glares down at her.

"Zhi Xiang, you're grandfather assigned you with me! We're supposed to be married!"

He throws her arm off and carries me up.

"Didn't he tell you? The engagement is off." He sounds in a deep tone, walking to the house ignoring her.

She comes running towards us and tugs on his sleeves.

"No! Please! Zhi Xiang!"

He pushes her calls for his guards.

"Take her out of my sight."

They grab her from the arms and pull her away from the house.

We then walked into the house and go up to his rooms. He puts me down on his bed and takes my leg.

"Did you get hurt when she pushed you?"

I shake my head then sneeze.

He looks up and puts his hand on my forehead.

"Did you catch a cold while we were at the beach?"

I put his hand down and smile.

"Stop worrying so much. I can take care of my...Achoo!, self."

"Wait here I'll go tell the maids to make you some warm soup."

"Thank you."

He smirks then leaves the room. I stand up and go to the window. I stare outside for a few minutes until I hear the door open.

"What are you doing?"

He grabs my waist and kiss my head.

I jump and turn around.

"I'm tired."

"Here," he lifts me up and throws me on the bed "rest. I'll rest with you."

"What! No, sleep somewhere else!"

He climbs on the bed and wraps his arms around me.

"Stop fighting and sleep." He holds me tighter

"Fine. Just this once."
