Chapter One Hundred Thirty Two
Let's Not Fall In Love(我们不要坠入爱河)
When I woke up I was warm. I was still half asleep when I looked up but when I saw the eyes looking down at me I felt fully awake. I had completely forgot that I had fallen asleep against Ba Wei but it was nice to wake up and see that he was still there. It was even better to wake up in his arms.
"Morning," I said softly as I pushed my head into his chest,
"Morning."
His voice was raspy and It made my entire body feel tingly. I had never thought another man's morning voice was sexy until this very moment. My cheeks were burning from just that thought so I knew that having my face in his chest was the safest place for me to be. Ba Wei didn't say anything and just tightened the arms that were wrapped around me.
We laid there in the darkness in silence for I don't know how long, but I didn't want it to end. I knew that as soon as we got up this day was going to go to hell. For one, my father was going to be pissed. Two, we'd have to study very hard since midterms are literally two days away now. Plus there the issue with Ba Wei and the wound on his side. Wait...the wound on Ba Weis side!
I didn't let the thought fully finish before I sat up and pushed Ba Wei on his back. I could feel his eyes on me as I did this but I didn't care. I scanned his body in the now dim lighting of my room until I can across the bandage. I let out a sigh when I didn't see any blood. It lasted through the night.
"Hey," Ba Wei called, "what is it?"
I swallowed hard, "it's nothing. I just thought..."
"Thought what?"
Ba Wei sat up and his hand went to my lower waist. He gave a slight squeeze before our eyes met.
"I just....your wound."
He cocked an eyebrow and looked down at the bandage on his abdomen. He shook his head and gave my waist another squeeze followed by a pull. I knew he wanted me to get closer to him but the issue was that I was already pretty close to him. I knew the confusion was written on my face and judging from the small laugh he let out I was correct.
"Don't worry too much about it. It doesn't even hurt anymore."
"You saying that only makes me think you don't want to tell me that it hurts."
He laughed and without warning he kissed me. My mind went blank and I returned the kiss. I had thought it was just going to be a quick one but when I felt his tongue flick against my lips I knew it wouldn't be. I parted my lips and the kiss deepened. Our tongues wrestled one another but in the end I lost the battle for dominance. I thought I would be upset about that but if felt nice to be not in control.
When our lips finally parted I was at a loss for words and out of breath. Ba Wei didn't seem that much affected by it but I could tell by the look in his eyes that that kiss wasn't supposed to go that far.
"Um," I cleared my throat, "we should get up before the day is gone."
Ba Wei only nodded and slid out of the bed. I followed after and tried my best to hide the tint that was in my pants. Usually I didn't have morning wood this severe, but the kiss had flustered me. I made my way Into the bathroom and cut on the light. I looked at myself in the mirror for a brief second before I grabbed my toothbrush. I had just began to brush when Ba Wei joined me.
"Got one for me?"
His voice was still scratchy and it was like honey to my ears. I nodded and squatted to look underneath the cabinets. Luckily my extra tooth brush was in the very front. I grabbed it and popped back up and handed it to Ba Wei. He smirked and gave me a full smile. I moved over a bit so he had enough room and finished brushing my teeth. Next I went to my skin care and as I did it I couldn't help but feel embarrassed because of the eyes that were on me.
"You know," I squeezed some of my facial cleanser into my hand, "staring is impolite."
I watched as Ba Wei spit the toothpaste out of his mouth, "how can I not stare when you look like that."
"Look like what exactly?"
"Cute."
I washed the product off my face and let out a laugh.
"If I didn't know any better I'd say you're flirting with me right now."
I was about to grab my moisturizer when Ba Wei grabbed my arm and pulled me into his body. I tilted my head up to look up at him only to be met by a kiss.
"I'm glad you noticed my efforts."
I let out a chuckle and pushed him slightly. He gave me a warm smile and grabbed my facial cleanser. I didn't take Ba Wei to as a person to care much for skin care but watching him use it let me know that he definitely used one before. I stared at him for a few seconds before Kang Wu popped up in my head.
In truth I didn't want to even tell Ba Wei to call the guy. He had a crossed a line yesterday but how could I even tell Ba Wei that without telling the reason. Kang Wu had always been on my radar as someone particularly dangerous but not in that sense. He's just becoming annoying and I don't like annoying people.
"Hey," I said as he patted his face dry. "Kang Wu told me to tell you to call him."
Our eyes met and he only nodded. He grabbed the moisturizer and quickly put it on. I smirked a bit and he cocked an eyebrow at me.
"Why are you smiling like that at me?"
"No reason. I just want to smile."
"Really," he said walking up to me. "Won't you tell me the truth babe?"
Just from the small question and how he asked it my cheeks were on fire. I lowered my head and Ba Wei let out a small chuckle. I felt like my heart was under attack and it didn't help that he was so close. He was so close that I could smell my body wash on his skin. I have to get the attention off of me.
"Um, I was just thinking about something," I said in almost a whisper.
"Really?" He reached out a hand and slid it around my waist and pulled me against him. "What exactly?"
Not fair, "It's nothing really. I was just thinking about the Lock Screen of your phone."
I was expecting him to be surprised about my question but he just started to laugh. I quickly looked up at him and my heart almost exploded from seeing such a expression from the boy. My cheeks felt even more hot as I stared at his laughing face.
"Fuck. I forgot you'd have to see my lock screen to call Kang Wu."
A small smile spread across my lips, "when did you take that picture?"
"Not recently so don't be mad."
Mad? I was far from mad. I was more embarrassed he had the chance to take a picture of me more of anything. I don't know even what to say about it to be honest.
"I'm not mad," I grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the bathroom. "I just am curious."
"Do you want me to change it?"
I let out a small laugh as I dropped his hand, "no. I'm just teasing you about it. It's embarrassing is all."
I didn't wait for him to say anything and just walked out of my bedroom and into the kitchen. It didn't matter because he followed behind me anyway. I didn't know what I going to prepare but I did want to cook for him. It's the least I could do after the night he had. After looking over everything in my fridge I just decided to make a soup.
"Can I see your phone," he asked suddenly?
I looked back from the fridge and our eyes immediately met. I cocked an eyebrow in confusion on why he wanted my phone but I wasn't going to say no. I was just a little surprised since it was the first time someone asked for it.
"Yeah, it's on the nightstand by the bed."
He say anything else and just disappeared into the bedroom. I thought he would return right away but he didn't. I didn't pay much attention to it though and just began to make breakfast. It didn't take me long and soon the the apartment smelt of a savory meal. I had thrown some beef into it last minute so it was more than just vegetables. I glanced around the living room and noticed that Ba Wei still hadn't returned from the bedroom. What could he be doing?
I turned the stove to warm and walked into my bedroom. I was surprised to see Ba Wei laying on the bed with my phone above his face. I cocked an eyebrow and just stared for a second, he hadn't noticed me at all so I slowly made my way over to him. I glanced at where I could lay but decided ultimately on somewhere I hadn't sat before.
Without a second thought I crawled onto the bed and on top of Ba Wei so that I was sitting on his waist. This seemed to catch his attention since his eyes snapped to mine almost immediately.
"What are you doing?"
He didn't answer me and went back to do something on my phone before his attention went back to me.
"Hey, lean down to me."
I was slightly confused but still leaned forward. He wasn't satisfied until I was almost laying on top of him. I watched as he raised my phone and then I felt his lips on the top of my head. I was confused on what exactly just happened but I knew that my cheeks were hot. I sat back up and he did something else very fast before he handed me my phone.
"What-"
"You have a lot of messages from your father," he said cutting me off. "I think you should call him at this point."
I cocked an eyebrow and cut on my phone and I just wanted to laugh. He took a picture of me and him and set it as my Lock Screen. I looked down at him and could only smile. You obviously see that he was the main focus of the photo since only the top of my head was visible. I guess I know what the kiss was for....Cute.
I smiled and opened my phone and clicked on my messages. He wasn't lying when he said I had a lot of messages from my father. It was almost fifteen of them. As I read through the usual threats I was distracted halfway by Ba Wei rubbing my thighs. I know I was the one that chose to straddle him but still. I'll just call him later.
I tossed my phone to the side and leaned down close to his face and planted a soft kiss on him. His hand went to my waist as I did this. As I our lips parted I flashed him a smile and he reached up and pinched one of my cheeks.
"I made breakfast."
"Let's go eat then."
