Meteor Garden -- Delicate Keys (Huaze Lei)

Ch. 11: Sudden

* LEI's POV *

I was saying it. I was expressing it.

- I'm scared too. I get that Gerard was not the right guy for you. I know it because if not you wouldn't be giving life a second chance- I said. - let me be different-.

Her eyes were full of tears.

- God, Lei- she said. - you know how to surprise me. And you also know the right words for everything. I'm so happy... I never thought I'd be able of finding someone like you- she was smiling and crying at the same time. 

She leaned towards me and caressed my cheek. Her touch was gentle, soft and warm. I stared at her, analyzing each of her features. Her eyes, her hair. And her unique septum piercing. I loved how it looked on her. I could swear that I had never been attracted to a pierced up person - she was the only one. It gave her a touch of... of her.

* RAIN's POV *

And I'll let him be different. Because waiting now was pointless. Things are now or never - and I had spoken the truth. He knew how I felt and I knew how he felt. We were both damaged and giving life another chance. Cheers to that!.

- Lets get out of here- he told me.

I frowned.

- I'll take you somewhere else- he said.

I smiled.

After he payed we went out of the restaurant, both smiling. My borrowed phone rang and I picked it up as we got into the car. It was my mother, I answered but the cellphone reception was a piece of crap. Or maybe the cellphone itself was a piece of crap. Who knows.

Lei drove until we got to a nice little park. We sat together on a bench. 

- We are dating, then- I said. - I'm grateful for that-.

He smiled.

- Me too- he replied.

We both stared into each others eyes. It seemed to be unreal, it was so epic. We liked each other and we had both suffered from love problems. Our love lives were a mess, but we still decided to give it a second chance. "See how it turns up" they say. Well... I was looking forward to see how it turned up.

- You know... when I was little I used to be bullied- I started talking. - I was this dark and nerd girl who was always the odd one out. It wasn't until I found some friends that I felt included- I smiled. - yet, I've always been weird. Or at least felt weird. My relationships have all been really fucked up. I don't want to screw this one up- he smiled.

- Me either- he said. - and never feel weird. You are not weird... you are different. And that makes you special and unique-.

GOD THIS COMPLIMENTS WERE WAY TOO MUCH FOR ME TO HANDLE.

I suddenly saw somebody from behind us. I got scared (I mean, it had been like what... five days since an odd man had attacked me). Lei (somehow) could sense that I was scared and held my hand. I was trying not to have a heart attack - he was holding my hand and there was an odd person behind us.

The person revealed himself. It was him, dressed with white clothes as he used to wear. Holding an empty vodka bottle. My eyes were full of tears. I wanted to run, slap him and everything at the same time. I began to feel like I was being pressed - it was hard for me to breathe. 

- L... Lei- I told him. I squeezed his hand. - that him-.

- Who?- he asked, confused.

I didn't know what to do. I wanted to run. What if he attacked me again? What if he did it once again?. I didn't want to lose control over myself. We saw how that affected my body earlier. I was willing to fight him this time. Even though I'd end up worse than ever, I'd fight him. He deserved what he deserved. That son of a bitch... why did he have turn up here, or in my life?. Why ruin such a beautiful moment?. Oh, right. It was him who were talking about. He spoilt everything. 

He didn't know how to take proper care of anything. Not even a person.

- Gerard- I replied.
