"Are you sure you don't want to come? Even just for a short time." Xia stared up at Chenle with pleading eyes.

She had a hand wrapped around his arm as they leaned against the car, facing the upscale karaoke bar.

"I'm sure," he responded, glancing down at her with a comforting smile. "These are your work friends, not mine."

She had been trying to get out of this small event the whole afternoon but he wouldn't let her have it, knowing she would have a good time if she ended up going.

Despite dropping her off and giving her as much reassurance as he could, the girl still resorted to her infamous little pout.

A humored yet disapproving look came across his face as he placed a hand under her chin, carefully turning her in his direction.

He brushed his thumb over her cheek a couple times before leaning down and gently capturing her lips with his own in a chaste kiss.

"Be good," Chenle whispered, looking into her eyes. He watched as they softened and then shone with ease.

After a couple seconds he leant down for another quick peck.

This time Xia wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer, deepening the kiss unexpectedly.

A bit startled by the sudden overt display of affection, the man closed his eyes and encircled his hands around her waist, melting into her touch.

There was no denying that he enjoyed the girl's recent switch to her touchy-feely personality, initiating more moments of intimacy than he could count.

However, he couldn't ignore the alarm that went off in the back of his head that told him something wasn't right. She usually wasn't the one to take control, so why was she starting to now?

Something had changed.

Their lips moved in sync until Xia attempted to include her tongue into the mix, making it clear to Chenle that she was starting something that she wanted him to finish.

As if it would get him to fold.

He reached back to remove her arms from his neck and tilted his head back to pull away from her lips.

"Baby," he let the pet name draw out for a second, subtly savoring the feeling, "if you wanted me this bad you should have said so back at the apartment."

Slightly dejected, Xia took a small step back in frustration only to see that annoying expression he'd make when he was too prideful.

She crossed her arms at his cocky smile and let out a stubborn 'hmph' as she turned her head in the other direction.
