~Few Hours Ago~

"Hey!" Xian frowned at the number of calls from JC. "Why so many missed calls?"

"Yeah!" Xian's frowned deepend as he heard JC's exhaustion. "I am driving down to meet you. Will be staying with you guys for few days."

"JC... Is everything alright?"

"Yeah..." Xian could hear some muffled noise as JC's voice faded and then became clear again, "Can't talk much now. I'll see you in an hour's time. Please let Jun know about my arrival."

"JC-" before Xian could speak the line disconnected and he rubbed his temples. 'What is wrong with you JC?'

Xian didn't see Azure for an entire day; so there was no way for him to reveal about JC's plans. Finding Ms. Lee was much easier in the front yard who was busy tending the garden.

"Ms. Lee." As much as the bear by her side still troubled him; he wasn't as scared of her as before.

"Yes sweetheart?"

"Ms. Lee; JC just informed me he's on his way here. I apologise for letting you know at such short notice."

Ms. Lee's smile instantly deepened, "Oh! That boy is so sweet. Don't worry about it. I'll go and arrange the guestroom. Is Kiara coming too?"

"No. Just JC. Do you need me to purchase any groceries or supplies from the town's supermarket?"

She paused and then nodded, "Yes. Not many just few."

"Alright. Please take your time. Text me what all you need."

"Sure sweetie."

On his way out Xian glanced at Azure's car resting inside the garage. It was a simple laid back car, unlike his Aston Martin. It occurred to him it would be better to drive this than his, which was likely to attract more attention from others.

Finding the key inside a drawer, Xian drove towards town which was by city standard quite far.

It were times like these that made Xian realise how different it was for him to grow up from nothing to have everything he ever needed. Had anyone told him even a decade earlier he would be shopping, driving and living a life only few could dream, he would have asked them to rudely piss off. But now, that wasn't the case.

As he walked down aisle to aisle; following Ms. Lee's itinerary and stacking up the cart, Xian came across personal hygiene racks.
His eyes caught a small box of condoms and lube; and for some reason his thoughts ran back to the sight from this morning.

Naked Azure.

He didn't let his eyes roam Azure's entire body, that would have been rude, but he also couldn't deny Azure had some sexy curves.

Shaking himself from those sinful thoughts, Xian moved past the rack and proceeded to get rest of the items like a good boy. Once he had all that were needed, the cashier was friendly enough to make small chit-chats, and he went onto load them into the car. That was when two old ladies approached him and enquired, "Isn't this Mr. Lan's car?"

Being a polite lad, Xian smiled, "Yes. It is. Do you know Mr. Lan?"

"Oh yes! He coaches the little league. He's quite famous here; not only with parents and teachers; but also popular amongst ladies too."

Xian grinned at the thought of young ladies swarming around Azure. Oh, he would find that extremely facinating.

"I have seen you before in town too. Are you Mr. Lan's friend?" One of the old lady with a bob hairstyle of seventies asked.
