205 I missed you so much that it hur

Liu Wei's ears tinted a shade of red, hearing what she said. She was staring at him with pitch black eyes that looked as though they would devour him the next minute. He could see the want in her eyes; her lips were swollen from their kiss and the way she bit on her lower lip was extremely seducing.

He restrained himself from continuing what they had stopped half way earlier on, and given their friends downstairs, he was sure it was not the right thing to do at that time.

Nodding his head, he started undoing his buttons. He was not wearing jacket, so it was just his white shirt he was putting on. He raised his hand to undo his shirt but had just undone two buttons, when Liling walked up to him and proffered to help.

''Let me do it.''

She took over from him and slowly undid the buttons of the shirt. Liu Wei was looking down at her with burning desire as her fingers lightly brushed against his already hot body, his throat tightened as her hands inched lower.

The shirt was tucked into his pants, such that when she reached his waists, her hands paused. She did not say a word as her eyes remained transfixed on his belt which held the shirt tucked into his pants.

Liu Wei, understanding why she stopped wanted to thank her and continue with undressing himself but her next actions almost made his ears bleed from redness.

Her hands reached down and pulled the shirt out of the pants, then undid the remaining buttons. His hands wanted to stop her, but they stopped halfway. He watched her help him out of the shirt, helplessly.

He removed the shirt and pulled his singlet over his head, leaving his bare chest exposed in front of her.

Liling's eyes traced from his face to his neck, shoulders and down to his well-defined torso. Her hands itched to feel him but she bit her lips, restraining herself. Liu Wei was not finding it funny either. The way she gazed at him was making him crazy; he used up his willpower, restraining himself from seizing her and kissing the hell out of her that minute.

After sometime, Liling blinked out of her wild thoughts. She looked up at Liu Wei with a small smile then pointed to the bathroom.

''You should shower, I'll be waiting for you.''

She took the singlet from him and waited till he entered the bathroom before going to the laundry room. When she returned, Liu Wei was not yet out of the bathroom. She walked to his wardrobe and took out some comfy clothes for him to change into. As she dropped it on the bed, Liu Wei stepped out of the bathroom, having a robe on.

His hair was wet and his face tinted red. Liling did not fail to notice the remarkable pinkish lips of his and those mesmerizing eyes!

God, How could a man be so beautiful!

She reluctantly forced her eyes off from his body and walked over to the vanity table, picking up his hair dryer.

Liu Wei wondered what was on her mind given that she had not mentioned the incident of the previous day. He actually didn't know how to apologize to her; he made her worry so much about him and had failed to keep his promise of returning that day, how lowly she must think of him now!

He watched her facial expression on the vanity mirror, her eyes were busy with his hair and her lips wore a small smile. She looked happy, but he still needed to know what she was thinking, her silence was really killing him!

''Liling, I'm really sorry for what happened yesterday, I…''

Liu Wei paused, lacking the words to continue. He felt the slender fingers on his hair stop moving, her gaze shifted from his hair to his reflection in the mirror, their eyes meeting. He held her gaze in his as his eyes said how sorry he was.

He knew he had failed her, although his heart squeezed and caused him so much pain when he thought about it, he could not do anything about the fact that he had hurt her. He never planned for any of those things to happen but they had happened anyway and he just had to live with it.

Liling did not say anything; she held his gaze for a while then came to stand in front of him. Dropping the hair dryer on the vanity table, she threw herself into his arms and hugged him so tight.

''I missed you. I missed you so much that it hurt. I was eager to leave work early so I could go pick you up at the airport, but I got delayed by my manager and then when I finally rushed home, you were not there…''

Liling paused, her throat felt as she recalled the events of the previous day. She felt his arms pull her deeper into his broad chest so she made herself comfortable on his legs, hugging him around the neck. His body was warm and she could feel his heart beating against his chest. Liu Wei kissed her forehead tenderly, his eyes getting wet.

''Liu Wei, you cannot leave me okay? I can't imagine a life without you, it'll be very lonely without you…''

At that moment, he felt dampness on his chest which caused his heart to squeeze in pain.

''Baby, I'm so sorry; I did not wish any of those things to happen, I'm so sorry that I kept you waiting. I promise you will never have to wait for me again…''

Liu Wei raised her head and looked at her with distraught eyes; his hands cupped her chin as he wiped away her tears with his thumb.

''I know, I know. I'm not crying because you failed me. In fact, I'm so glad that you did.''.
