Not Enough (complete)

19. Acceptance 2

The office block was open 24/7 but only those with security clearance were allowed access. Since Yibo came in company of Xiao Zhan, he was allowed to enter. They took an elevator to the 12th floor.

The office space was fully furnished and partitioned but Xiao Zhan hadn't fully moved in so the place looked a little empty.

"This area here is the waiting area. I'm going employ a few helpers, these cubicles over here would be their work space. That fully partitioned space over there would be my own office".

Xiao Zhan showed Yibo around. The office was not too big but it wasn't small either. He was proud to show it off as it was mostly a product of his hard work.

"You've worked really hard A-Zhan, I'm proud of you... I really am".

Xiao Zhan smiled. He intended to walk past Yibo, towards his own office but the moment he walked by him, Yibo couldn't resist. He grabbed him by the elbows.

"A-Zhan... I... I..."

Xiao Zhan stopped for only a moment then he freed himself from Yibo's grip and started to walk away. Yibo was thinking Xiao Zhan wasn't ready to be more than friends. He was thinking to take things a little slower so as not to push him away when Xiao Zhan held him instead and pulled him into his office.

Like the rest of the office, Xiao Zhan's office was sparsely furnished. There was an office chair and a large desk, there was also a bookshelf on the side. The lights in the main office were turned on but the ones in Xiao Zhan office remained off so the only light getting in was from the main office. Xiao Zhan didn't bother to shut the door. The main door was shut and they were the only ones around.

As soon as they got into the office, Xiao Zhan held Yibo across the waist, plastering their bodies against each other and lowering his head slightly to take his lips in a kiss.

Flowers, butterflies, rainbows, sugar, fluff. These are some of the words that could be used to describe how Yibo felt at the moment.

Yibo wasn't expecting to be kissed so he was stunned for a moment, not in a bad way though. Xiao Zhan's hands that were across his waist gradually pressed tighter, holding him in an even tighter embrace. Yibo felt weak in his knees and he held Xiao Zhan across the shoulders for support.

The few times they had kissed, he had always been the one to initiate it, this was the first time Xiao Zhan was initiating a kiss and it felt... good. Slowly, they moved backwards until they were resting against the wall, their lips tightly sealed and their tongues exploring each other's mouths.

"Do you have something to say?", Xiao Zhan asked when they finally parted their lips from each other. He noticed the rim of Yibo's eyes were wet as his lips trembled almost uncontrollably, opening and closing so many times as if he had something to say.

"A lot... I have a lot to say but I don't know where to start".

Xiao Zhan nodded, he understood. He really did understand. He also would have had a lot to say but over the years, he had said all he could, there was nothing new to say so until Yibo was able to put his emotions into words, he was going to let him be.

His hands that were across Yibo's waist loosened slowly. He placed a kiss on his forehead and took a few steps backwards. He watched Yibo as he breathed deeply in and out, almost as if he was gasping for breath. Perhaps, just perhaps Yibo wasn't ready. Even though he admitted his feelings and said what he said back then, the Yibo he knew was very indecisive.

He shouldn't have brought him here. Xiao Zhan turned around, he now had his back to Yibo. He didn't know what he was expecting but from experience, he knew not to expect too much when it came to his relationship with Wang Yibo.
