When You Are Mine [MichaelWico]

4💦

The next morning when Xingsi arrived at the office, everywhere seemed quiet. He walked slowly to the sales department wondering where everyone went to. He reached office and noticed every one had gathered around his table. He stood by the door wondering what was going on.

"Surprise...!" Everyone said in unison as soon as the saw Xingsi.

"What is the surprise about?" Xingsi asked, looking confused.

Meifang, sister Wang and Yongxian moved away from the table to reveal a full Valentine flower gift sitting on Xingsi's desk.

"You got a Valentine gift, first time in history!" Sister Wang announced.

"Director, you found someone who loves you and you never told us?" Yongxian asked. He cocked his eyebrow as if he was a little jealous.

Xingsi looked into the gift bag. There was expensive flower on the desk, chestnut cake and an expensive chocolate in the bag. There must be a mistake. He was not in a relationship. Who would have sent this to him?

"No. Maybe it's a wrong person, I don't have any one..."

Meifang picked the card. "But it says here, to Xingsi from F.Y."

"I really don't know anyone with that initials," Xingsi tried to defend his innocent self. He tried to remain calm but he was also getting worried. Who was FY? They probably sent the gift to the wrong person.

"Let's wait till the end of the day, if no-one comes asking then I will find out who sent the package and return it. Please get back to work now."

During lunch break, Xingsi joined Licheng and Muren for a break in the lunch room.

Licheng seem excited about work while Xingsi was extremely overwhelmed and tired.

"What was happening in your department this morning?" Licheng asked.

"Oh that, someone sent me a Valentine gift."

"A Valentine gift!" Licheng and Muren said at the same time.

"Wait how?" Licheng raised his eyebrows.

Muren hit him on the shoulder. "Not how, who?"

Xingsi breathed. "Well I'm hoping it's a wrong address or a prank, I don't remember anyone wanting to give me a love gift."

"The day is almost over and noone has called to retrieve the gift." Muren said. "You could have an admirer."

"Xingsi have been keeping to himself for years, whoever is admiring you must really like you," Licheng smiled. "Don't you think so?:

Muren raised his eyebrows in thought. "Do you think your ex is back to make amends."

Xingsi glared at Muren. He had told both Muren and Licheng his past experience with his first love. He had fallen in love with a friend during his first year in college. He'd actually thought the relationship will last since he put his whole heart to love this friend. One day he had convinced Xingsi to follow him home so he could introduce him to his family. That day was the worse day of Xingsi's life. Not only was the family homophobic, his parents literally threw him out of the house and warned Xingsi to stay away from their son. His name is Steven. It was the day he cried helplessly on his way home.

"No. Don't say that Muren. I can't accept my ex not after all we went through."

"Yes I agree. It will be traumatic to even see him in your space," Licheng added.

"It will be really nice to see you with a significant other, don't you think so, it's about time you opened up to someone new."

Xingsi smiled. "Of course, I do need someone."

Deep down Xingsi hadn't gotten over his feelings for his for first love. It's been almost ten years but their romantic encounter still felt like yesterday.
He and Steven had an almost perfect relationship and he never expected it to end so brutally.

Secretly he yearned to hear from Steven just once, he wanted Steven to tell him that he no longer loved him, only then will Xingsi let go.
