Red Orchids

Trouble Knocks (Cong's P.O.V) Chapter 7

I ran to get the door smiling uncontrollably. *looks through peephole* "Oh shit! It's Chang...Yī is here I can't let him see Yī!" Cong thinks to himself. "I know you're home Cong...we got business to handle." Chang said from the other side of the door. "Shut up and hold on!" I yelled to him. I ran to my room and told Yī to hide in the closet. She looked at me funny and laughed. "Yī this is SERIOUS! That guy at the door is Chang, he's an old friend of mine... and possibly a red orchid." I rushed the last part hoping she didn't catch it. "POSSIBLY!!!" Yī yelled at me, I shushed her grabbing her hands. "Yī please do this for me, I won't let anything happen to you." Yī nodded and scurried into the closet. Before I shut the door on her I said "I'll be back." I shut the door and ran to open another leaving my bedroom door cracked. I opened the door to the apartment "About time! I have half the mind to beat you for making me wait." Chang said with a smirk walking toward my fridge to grab a drink. "I'd like to see you try it." I laughed. He stood in the kitchen taking a swig of his drink and paused. "Mmmh what is that?" Chang asked taking a whiff of the air. I looked at him confused. "It smells feminine like...berries or something." Chang walked over to me and sniffed at me. "But you smell like...bubble gum?" I looked at Chang worried and laughed. Chang gave me a smirk and looked me in my eyes. "You like someone...wait no you love someone!" Chang yelled. "What...no remember I don't care about anyone but myself." I said trying to sound like I'm even remotely telling the truth. Unfortunately Chang didn't buy it. "Is she here?" He asked. "Is who here...Chang what are you up to?" I asked him. Chang pushed me and ran into my room, I ran after him. He looked around the room "The smell is even stronger in here...So there isn't a girl here… so what are these?" Chang held up Yī's clothes smirking at me. I snatched her clothes from him. "Do you wanna talk about something Cong?" Chang asked laughing hysterically. I glared at Chang, god I wanted to punch him. "Alright lover boy well get dressed cause we got a job to do downtown. Chang left the room and I locked the door behind him. I ran to the closet opening the door. Yī jumped out at me causing me to fall. "Yī are you ok?" I whispered to her. Yī shook her from side to side, she looked scared. "Whats wrong Yī?...You look scared." I waited for her to speak. "I don't want you to go... what if he knows?...I don't wanna be alone..." Yī trailed off into silence. I felt bad leaving Yī but I had to..."I promise you I'll be fine its just me and Chang. Here take this and call Li." I handed Yī a card she didn't accept it. "Come on Yī take it I'll be back in no time...you can buy anything you want and then when I come back we can do ANYTHING you want." I said smiling at Yī, she nodded with an excited smile. She looked away as I changed my clothes, its so cute how child like she is. Before I opened the door to leave I looked at Yī "I only have one rule while I'm away...NO BOYS." Yī chuckled at my rule saying "What about Bimi?" "Not even Biming...Yī I'm serious." I threw her my spare key "I don't want you around any guys...no matter what Li says!" Yī got up and walked over to me standing on her tippy toes. "Why not?" she asked with a smirk. She was teasing me! Normally its the other way around. "Uuuh because boys stink" I said hoping she stop. "But I like how you smell" Yī said poking my stomach. I had to get out of there before I say something stupid. "Well unless you want another bean bag moment then have fun and follow my rule." She immediately stopped once I mentioned a bean bag. Chang knocked on the door yelling "Come on princess lets go!" Before I left I looked at Yī one more time. "Bye princess." Yī waved to me and I left...of course with Chang asking a million questions.
