Imperfect Desires

Chapter 383 Im Gonna Combus



383 I'm Gonna Combus

Reaching the condominium building, Francesca had pushed Darren to Xiu's house saying, "I also need some privacy. Go and disturb your girlfriend now." She had strictly ordered Darren to take care of her.

Neither Xiu nor Darren were dumb enough to not understand that she was actually giving them space. She wasn't looking for privacy, she wanted to give them privacy. And indeed that was Francesca's plan. She had seen the way Xiu depended on Darren. The way these two love-birds had been clinging to each other on the backseat was enough for her.

She really couldn't bring herself to be the third wheel again. That much torture on her soul was enough for today. Now, she just planned on turning on the tv and watch horror movies to pass her time. Maybe the sourness of horror movies might be able to lessen the sugary taste that the XiuRen ship left in her mouth.

GOD! She loved this adorable ship named XiuRen but she was really not able to bear with them anymore. They were really too much for her poor heart.

When Xiu entered her own apartment with Darren trailing behind her, she couldn't but say, "Your mom is..."

"Weird? Strange? Bizarre? Crazy?" Darren offered his list of vocabulary for her to choose from.

Xiu pursed her lips as she shook her head at him. "I was gonna say cute. She's really cute but I can't disagree with all that you just said." Darren chuckled at her reply knowingly. "I didn't imagine her to be this way."

Darren sat down with her on the couch as he pulled her body into him as he questioned, "What did you have in mind then? What image of Francesca Salvay did you make in your head?"

Xiu looked at his face thoughtfully, "I thought since she has a son like you and she raised you so beautifully, she'd be a strong, bold, independent but also a strict mother. Moreover, I was thinking that since she raised you all on her own, and as you told me she never had much time for you, I thought you both be really distant."

"Mama was busy always but whenever she was home, she made sure that she was there for me. She is actually a very simple mother. I told you already if you love me with all your heart that's more than enough for her. Because she never had any expectations for my life partner, it had always been my own decision. But yes, she always wanted someone who'd wholeheartedly love her son."

Xiu nodded her head as she muttered, "Beautiful people do have beautiful thinking as well. She's very impressive."

Darren kissed her head, "Yes, she is impressive but my Sweets is also very impressive." Xiu quirked her brows at him. "I think I'm very lucky that all women in my life have remarkable personalities."

"Are you proud of the women in your life or yourself?" Xiu questioned as she got up, and he only shrugged his shoulders at her. She turned around to add, "I'm gonna take a hot bath. I'm feeling very uncomfortable in these clothes now."

Darren stood up instantly, "Should I join you?" Xiu's eyes widened at his shamelessness.

"Pervert!"

"Oh please! If there is a pervert between us that's definitely you, Sweets. Don't forget how or where we met. In both of your lifetimes." Xiu could only press her lips together at the reminder. He was right, even as Chen Xiu she was checking him out in the bar and even as Bai Xiu, she was checking his naked body out at the hot springs. Wow! She really was consistent with one thing; checking him out! "Anyways, I had no immoral thoughts. I just think that you're still sick, weak and you can't even use your right hand. I'll be helpful."

Xiu took a step back while he took a step towards her. "Let me help."

Xiu shook her head frantically, "No way!"

"Why are you hesitating? It's not like I haven't seen anything? I'm more than familiar with that body of yours. More than you think."

Xiu covered her ears and tried to stop that crimson color from rising up on her face. "Regan! You're being shameless!"

"So? I can be shameless with my Sweets. Now, come on! Don't push me away!"

"Definitely not happening!" said Xiu as she ran off and locked herself in the bathroom.

Darren was left with a sense of loss outside the door but his lips were still curled up in a beautiful smile. He knew Xiu would never let him help. But it was fun teasing her. Especially now when she didn't hide her blush from him.

But he didn't know that it wasn't that Xiu didn't want to hide her blush, she just couldn't do so anymore. The control of her own emotions had long been given to Darren.

"Sweets, I'm feeling sad now! You just promised that you won't ever push me away and you won't hide from me. But right now, you're locking me out!"

Xiu who was still standing with her back pressed against the bathroom door listened to him clearly. She didn't know whether she was feeling weak or not? But he was definitely making her heart shake wildly. She could literally hear her heartbeat going, 'lab-dab! lab-dab!'

Xiu could only shout back, "I'm not locking you out. But if I let you in, I'm gonna combust. You might not know but those flames burning in your stupidly beautiful eyes are my undoing. I can't escape even if I want to."

Darren smiled happily to hear that. Did she think it was that easily being around her for him as well? There was not a single moment when he didn't want to touch her. That's the effect of love when you're in love, you couldn't possibly take your eyes or hands off of each other. But if you don't feel this way, are you really in love?

And with the kind of consuming love these two had for each other, it was already a wonder how they could pretend to be calm and collected in the presence of others.
