Because of You

Because of You - 4

Dylan is in a bad mood for the past week. And he knows the reason for it, Shen Yue. Ever since that day in the pool, he had a hard time focusing on work, his mind is full of images of her writhing under him, moaning and responding to his kisses. He tried to forget her, focusing on Dilireba, seeing her everday. But it was to no avail. Even when he is in bed with Dilireba, he still sees Yue.

Adding to his frustrations, he knows that she is avoiding him. She suddenly stopped visiting their house, which didn't escape his mom, prompting to ask his sister, Nicky if they had an argument. And yesterday, when he gave up and swallowed his pride, he called her. But she refused to take his call. He has lost count on how many times he called her but all of his attempts just went in vain. In the end, he decided to give up, deciding she is not worth the trouble.

He came to the bar, intent  on having a good time, hoping to clear his mind off her, only to be greeted by the sight of her, looking more beautiful than the last time he saw her. He could tell that she did not expect to see him by way her eyes widened and her body tensed at the sight if him.

"Bro, let's go." Ceasar said, puzzled why his friend suddenly stopped at the doorway.

Dylan looked at Ceasar and nodded, tugging along Dilireba, the ascended upstair to secind floor, but not before giving Yue a final look.

Yue on the other hand, was rooted on her spot. She did not expect to see him and she doesn't know what to do.

"Yue, what's your plan?" Xiao Wen asked, interrupting her thoughts.

Yue looked at her and answered, "I don't have a plan."

"But... This us your chance!" Zi Wei exclaimed.

Yue rolled her eyes and gave her friends irritated look, "In case you didn't see, he is with his girlfriend." She answered sarcastically.

"So? That doesn't stop you before." Xiao Wen argued.

"GIRLS! This is my call." She countered. "Trust me when I say that it's not the right time."

"When is the right time?" Zi Wei asked. "We are not going to wait forever, you know."

"Don't worry, it won't be long." She prevaricated, not wanting to admit defeat. "Come on, let's enjoy the evening." She said, smiling.

************************************

She could feel his eyes on her, could feel the burning stare from him. She would have left hours ago, but Zi Wei insisted for her to say, arguing that this is the first time in months that they've seen each other and had time to be together. So, she has no choice but to say.

It felt so unnerving knowing that he is watching her every move. She is just thankful that Xiao Wen and Zi Wei did not notice him, both preoccupied with the men who joined their table. Not able to stand it, she excused herself and headed to the rest room.

********************************

Inside the private booth at the second floor of the bar, the atmosphere is tensed. With a glass of scotch on his hand, Dylan stood infront of the glass wall, watching Yue leave.

He knows he is acting like a jerk, completely ignoring Dilireba. But the moment he saw Yue, he lost interest on Dilireba. And she knows it, she started a tantrum the minute they arrived that turned into an argument when he just ignored her.

That was an hour ago. Since then she tried everything just to get his attention, but has no effect on him.

Dilireba knows that she is losing him, she noticed that he was preoccupied, wondering what is bothering him. Even in bed, he is not as responsive as he used to. Now, she knows the reason of his preoccupation. And it's not WHAT but WHO. She saw how his eyes trailed on HER. "I will not let him go without a fight." She vowed silently. She stood up and excused herself, saying she needs to use the rest room.
