I slept too late and since the next day was a holiday, I only woke up at noon.The moment I woke up, I thought about the call last night, and my heart could not help but beat rapidly.However, back to reality, Dylan was still abroad and studying. When he comes back in a few years, I will be old already. Thinking about this, I felt a headache.Before I could sort this out, my mom knocked on my door.“Stephanie, get up soon. I’m going out to buy some food. Dylan will be coming over later, so why don’t you stop lying down? Look at yourself.”“Mom, who did you say?” I was puzzled.“It’s Dylan! He sent a text to your dad last night saying that he would be here for a visit at noon today.”I was confused. When did this happen?I quickly got up and sent Dylan a text. However, he did not reply, so he was probably on the plane.Feeling dizzy, I went to the bathroom and washed my face with cold water to feel more awake. Only then did I fully understand that Dylan was really coming over.
The moment I ran outside, my dad looked at me suspiciously. “What happened to your face?”I was so scared that my heart was shaking, and I tried to calm my breathing. “Allergies.”“Dust allergies?” My dad asked for more details.I felt like I was almost dying. “Maybe.”At this moment, my mom came back coincidentally.“What are you two doing here?” My mom was carrying big and small bags of vegetables. It felt as if she almost emptied the entire market. “Why are you two still not coming over to help out?”“I’m coming!” I was thankful to my mom for saving me from that dreadful situation. I hurriedly took the initiative to help.My mom was shocked and muttered, “There are 365 days in a year, but it's rare to find a day when you’re diligent. What big mistake have you made? Tell your mom first.”How could I be that lazy?“Did you lose money in stocks?”“No.” While picking the vegetables, I was tortured by my mom.“Did you get dumped by Charlie?”“I've never been in a relationship
When it was time for the meal, Dylan woke up, but his face was pale. He obviously lacked sleep.At the dining table, my dad did not ask Dylan many questions. My dad probably also thought he was too sleepy, so he urged Dylan to sleep for a while after eating.It was Christmas, so my parents had to go to my grandma’s house. They thought it would be rude to leave Dylan here alone, so they asked me to stay and wait for him to wake up.My whole body felt oily because I had been cooking, so I simply went to take a bath.Halfway through my bath, Dylan started to knock on the door.I could only call him on the phone to tell him that I was bathing and ask if anything was wrong.“Can I come in?”“No.”“Did you lock the door?” Dylan asked playfully.I froze in place. It was my home, so why did I have to lock the door? Of course, I did not have the habit of doing this.“I can’t sleep, so I’ll be at your desk reading some comics.” Dylan sounded serious, so it would seem as if I had weird
Considering the age gap between Dylan and me, and he was still studying abroad, my relationship with him was kept a secret.Thus, he was very unsatisfied.I told him that I would go to Melvania to see him on National Day, and he reluctantly agreed.“Anything is fine. As long as you think it’s exciting, I don't mind.” On the day Dylan left, he was in a bad mood at my house.“Shut up!” I really wanted to sew his mouth shut.We clearly agreed to keep our relationship a secret. However, Dylan would always say a few flirtatious words in front of me whenever he had the opportunity.As soon as I finished speaking, my dad looked at me with a bad expression. “Stephanie, come here.”It was over! Did my dad hear something?I put down my things and glared at Dylan. He still looked like he was not afraid of death.My dad pulled me into the room and persuaded me with all his heart, “Why are you always so harsh on Dylan? After all, he’s my boss' son. Do you think that my life in the company
Two years later, my dad said he was going to take me to a dinner party one day. The purpose of the dinner party was, of course, to let me get to know some young single men.In the past two years, my parents saw that I had not been looking for a boyfriend, so they almost thought that I did not like men at all.In reality, I was so entangled by that annoying little b*stard on Facebook every day that I had no intention of chatting with others.Fortunately, although Dylan was annoying, he had obviously changed a lot.He got an A in all of his subjects in school, gained a scholarship, and was even handling a project with his mentor.Dylan’s father was also very satisfied with him and even gave him some small projects as practice.I promised to come to the dinner party this time because I had made a promise to him.It was rare for us to meet each other, so he always complained. Thus, we would always grab hold of every chance to meet each other."I heard from my dad that you’re doing
On my birthday, I went to a gathering and came home ridiculously drunk. That was when my mother gave me a call.“Your present is in your room. Open it yourself.”Since she sounded so straightforward, I thought that I could finally get my hands on the newest handbag release. The one that I always wanted.To my surprise, what I saw was a teenage boy with a bath towel wrapped around his waist. He was just lying on my bed quietly.The bath towel he had around his waist was my small pink towel. It could either be because he was too tall or that my towel was too small, but his lower body was barely covered.I swallowed hard.“Mum… Are you… Are you serious? How much was it?” My mother must have been badly influenced by her friends from square dancing.“As long as my daughter wants it, I’ll get it for you no matter the costs.”I was utterly speechless.Not long ago, she was pestering me to go on blind dates almost every day. After multiple failures, I blurted, “God, please grant me a
I was halfway through taking off the towel when a hand covered mine and stopped me.“What are you doing?” His eyes were half opened as he said with a low, hoarse voice. His eyes looked slightly out of focus.I was stunned.‘What… What am I doing?’Could he perhaps be shy?“Do you want me to turn the lights off?” I asked softly.He stared at me for a good half minute.I went ahead and turned the lights off.As I thought about his destructively handsome face, I mustered up all my courage and kissed him on the cheek.“Sis, how big are you?” He chuckled as he stopped my wandering hands. His magnetic voice made its way into my ears and made me tingle.I paused for a moment and thought, ‘Is he trying to provoke me?’“E…” I shamelessly upgraded my cup size.He chuckled and laughed so hard that his entire body was shaking. “Are you sure?”‘Is he doubting me?’“I'm sure it’s at least a C,” I said with affirmation.He was silent for a short while and added, “I was actually asking
It was already midnight when my father knocked on my door.“Have you seen my boss’s son?”I rubbed my heavy eyes as I replied, “Dad, who’s that?”I had only slept for half an hour, so my head felt like mush.“I was drinking with my boss yesterday and his son got drunk, so I took him back to our house. I didn’t see him when I came up, so I’m just asking if you’ve seen him.”As my father said that, his gaze was wandering around my room.I froze in place with my thoughts running around my head.Boss’s son? Son?The face of the teenage boy sleeping soundly out of exhaustion suddenly came into my mind.My gosh. The sudden realization left me speechless.“I-I didn’t see him.” I stole a glance at my bed while the shock from the sudden realization had woken me up completely. “I’m going back to bed.”I slammed the door shut guiltily.I took a few minutes to organize myself and walked to the bed nervously. I lightly tugged on his blanket.“Are you asleep?” I tried my best to sound a
