Xia Sha felt she had lost control of her mind and body. She felt wonderstruck and overwhelmed at the same time.
What did she do? Did he kiss him? How can she do that?
Every time the images pop up in her mind, she felt like Alice jumping into the rabbit hole. She felt her leg turn weak even though she has stopped running minutes ago. She blushes all the way to the emergency stair, and end up leaning on the wall.
"Hah, I must be crazy," she mumbles while placing her hand on her chest. She tried to inhale and exhales to control her heart that won't stop pounding like crazy.
She bites her lips gotten swollen because of him.
"Aish, what did I do? How can I kiss him first?" She almost cried out of frustration. The more she thinks about it, the crazier she got. She ruffled her hair to vent the frustration inside of her. But she got more frustrated instead.
"Xia Sha, what has happened to two these past few days?" she asked herself. First, she 'confessed' to him indirectly. She uses 'impulse' as an excuse for last night. But today?
Dare she said she kissed him because of impulse?
She turned to the wall and desperately stomped her head to the wall.
"Will he think I'm too cheap after this?"
What if he runs away because she gives in too fast? She could not imagine the heartbreak he caused.
"Ahh!!! I've gone crazy !" Her frustration vibrates on the emergency stairs hall again.
She thought she has mature enough after a relationship with Ling Guang. Why did she turn back to that naive Xia Sha, that never fall in love or getting cheated on before?
She felt so stupid, but it doesn't make her depressed. What makes her frustrated is that she like the feeling even though she knew it look stupid
Nevertheless, she knew she is doomed when she kissed him.
She ends up blankly sit on the stair for one hour before she picked herself up. She gives up to control her stupid heart and impulsive hormone.
Fine! She accepted fact that she has fallen for him despite all those self-deception and denial she told her mind. She has decided not to be a coward and play this gambling game for one last time.
To the hell with heartbreak!
"Damn estrogen!" She cursed for once before running herself back to the rooftop again. It's has passed one hour since they kissed, she wasn't sure he is still there, but her gut tells her to go there.
For the third time, she ignores her common sense and acts foolishly. Rushing up to the rooftop, she did not stop climbing up the stairs even though she starts to feel pain in her chest.
"Almost there," she mumbles when she looked up and found the door to the rooftop. She bends her body and put her hand on her knee the moment she steps on the last stair.
For a moment, she regrets this act of impulse.
But this is it, her hand touched the doorknob, and the gust of cold wind started to fly her hair. The sun is still shining brightly on the rooftop, but she could not find him anywhere.
Flash of disappointment shown in her eyes. She lowered her head and turned her body. He is not here, of course, it's has been more than one hour. What kind of fool will stay on the rooftop for one hour alone?
The expectation is the root of all heartaches. She should learn from William Shakespeare before she acts impulsively. Now she wasted her breath and possibly, knee for nothing.
Dejected, she walked to the lift with their head hanging low. She walked to the elevator and did not realize she had bumped into something. It is until somebody touched her head and flicked her forehead gently.
She glace at the ground and found shining leather shoes one step away from her.
"...!"
She looked up with eyes wide open and found him staring at her. She holds her breath, trying to recall what she ought to do. But all the thought she has a plan before evaporated into thin air when she heard his voice.
"Coming for me?" He asked with a thin smile.
His sturdy hand slowly touch her forehead, gently but sure, he wipes the sweat formed. Xia Sha did not answer, nor did she avoid his touch. She merely stood there and look at his face.
"Nonsense!" her voice coming out croaked. She cleared her throat and finally averted her gaze from him. She is thankful when the lift door slides open, so she could pretend she didn't come to get him.
Guan Xian shamelessly follows after she is not surprising.
They stood shoulder to shoulder while shrouded in awkwardness. Xia Sha keeps her sight straight to the door. She tried keeping her face flat while Guan Xian keeps stealing glances at her.
"Are you sure you aren't coming for me?" He sounds very excited as he steals another glance at Xia Sha. Xia Sha keeps her mouth shut and reveals no emotion.
Guan Xian gets more excited to tease her.
"Right, keep your facade. I couldn't see through you at all."
He uses a solemn face to said such a sarcastic sentence make Xia Sha wanted to laugh. She pressed her lips together, but her nostril flares up because she holds her laughter.
Guan Xian smiled when he sees her holding their laughter face. The elevator whisked with terminal velocity down to the 19th floor, where Xia Sha's office is.
They are about to arrive, and Xia Sha has lost all her courage to talk to Guan Xian. When the door slides open, out of nowhere, she pressed the close button. Clenching her cold finger, she had made up her mind to man up and finished what she has started today.
"I'll give you about ten seconds to think. If you don't answer, I'll take it as a yes."
She turns to Guan Xian and pushes him to the wall. Guan Xian looks shocked when she placed his small arm between his neck. Xia Sha gulped while put on her fierce face.
"Do you want to be my boyfriend?" she asked.
Guan Xian was dumbstruck when he heard her starts counting down to then.
"Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven,"
This girl, seriously?!
That is supposed to be his line! He is pissed right now. But he can't vent. He might lose all his chance if he answers before the time.
This day might never come to him again.
"Six, Five-"
"YES!" he answers decisively.
Xia Sha stop counting but did not remove her hand. She is still kabedon-ing Guan Xian when she asked another question.
"You promise me that you will never cheat? Can you be a loyal boyfriend?"
"YES SIR! YES!" Guan Xian answered as if he is in the military.
"What assurance can you give me?" she probed, squinting her eyes to be more intimidating.
Guan Xian looks all over the lift corner before a bulb lit up above his head. "I'll get a vasectomy if I ever cheated on you!"
"So serious," Xia Sha was slightly taken back by his promise. She observes his face for another second before she flicked her finger.
"Brave men, very good! I'll take your promise. Wait for my lawyer to send the agreement letter tomorrow," A wide smile spread on her face.
Guan Xian shook his head in amusement.
"A relationship based on agreement letter. Should I felt secure or scared?"
Xia Sha titled her head like a happy child while turning back her body. Because they stayed for a long time inside, the elevator automatically went down to the Lobby.
Guan Xian glanced at the number and smirked. His friend always said he is an opportunist, and he proudly embraced that. Grabbing Xia Sha's waist, it's his turn to locked her body and asks for his gain.
"Since it is an agreement letter, it's only fair if both of us gain something. I've given you my assurance. What about you, what can you offer back?"
He whispered right on her ears.
Xia Sha's body froze as his touch give her chills. Her eyelashes fluttered, showing how nervous she is. She tried to calm her nerve and look back at him.
"What do you want to gain?"
Her answers are exactly what Guan Xian wanted. Like a cherry blossoming in spring, that is how bright his face right now. He looks close to her face. His gaze falls on her swollen still lips.
"I want to kiss you every day? Can you promise that?" he smirked, bending his body to adjust to her height.
Xia Sha went dumbfounded for a moment. How can he be this forward and shameless?
On their first day, he asked to kiss every day. Within this speed, what will he ask on their anniversary the following years?
Isn't this relationship moving too fast?
Xia Sha is so busy pondering that she did not realize Guan Xian's lips have touched her lips again. This time, his kisses felt demanding in some kind of way.
Xia Sha is about to push him away when the door opens. A loud gasp makes Guan Xian, reluctantly release Xia Sha's sweet lips.
"Oh My God! What are you two doing in my elevator?!" Xia Qi Feng's thunderous voice break them apart.
