Criminal Love

21. Finally

Dylan is thrilled to have his señorita back today, he cannot wait to welcome her. He is anxiously expecting her, sitting in his apartment with the tablet that Darren gave him in one hand, stalking the yellow dot to know exactly when Yue will show up, and checking the watch constantly.

He feels ridiculous, but he cannot help it. He craves to kiss her juicy lips as soon as she steps out of the elevator. He has become a clingy puppy and he could not care less. Yue better get used to it.

Yue finally spoke to her parents yesterday. She was able to tell them that she filed for divorce because Peng cheated on her. The Shens were not as understanding as Yue would have hoped, but they didn't protest much either. Of course, Yue left out many humiliating and intimate details, there's no need for her parents to know that much. The fact that Yue is happier now should be enough for them.

At last, Dylan sees the yellow dot enter the building and drops everything on the coffee table. He runs to the hallway and waits for Yue outside the elevator.

Ding.

The elevator door opens and Dylan leaps in, sweeps Yue off her feet, presses her against his body to the point that she's on her toes, and gives her a noisy long smooch on the lips followed by many tiny kisses.

"Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah..." he covers her mouth and cheeks with his moist, warm lips.

Yue almost faints, obviously. She's swooning over him so bad that her head spins. Hopeless.

"Welcome home!" he eventually says, letting her carefully down, but Yue cannot stand on her own nor open her eyes. Dylan chuckles and holds her by the waist for a minute until she slowly comes back to her senses. "I think I'm the reason behind your weak knees..." he seductively whispers in her ear.

Yue is flushed. She hates how feeble she becomes in his arms. It's frustrating... It's as if her body succumbed to Dylan's commands and her head simply ignored the matter. But is that good or bad? It definitely has its moments.

"Hi," is the only word Yue manages to utter. Where have all her brain cells gone? Dang!

Anyway, the only thing Dylan cares about is that Yue is back. He caresses her hair and examines her face carefully. "I missed you so much! It's unexplainable... I don't know what you've done to me."

Yue smiles. "I believe that you did it to me first..." She shyly admits, remembering how she reacted to him on the very first day he landed on her life.

That admission provokes another kiss on her already reddened and heated lips. Knowing she was attracted to him since the beginning is undeniably exhilarating.

But perhaps it is time to leave the elevator since someone else might need it, and Dylan has been keeping his foot on the door all this time, not caring about anything or anyone other than Yue and her lips.

Dylan takes Yue's bag with one hand and interlocks her fingers with the other. They walk to her door and before Dylan accompanies her inside, Yue turns around.

"We need to go to work..." She pauses and studies his reaction.

What does she mean? It means 'you can't come in to play.'

"Oh, I get it..." Dylan's disappointment is evident.

"I'm sorry. I... If you come inside, we..." Yue is so embarrassed that she cannot even explain herself, but Dylan doesn't make it harder on her.

"I know. You're right. If I come inside, we'll stay there all day..." he mischievously admits with his mesmerizing eyes causing an earthquake within Yue's body. Staying in all day does not sound bad at all...
