At First Sight 》WinWin

Four

Courtney's POV:

I held my face as I saw the cops chasing after him while one came over to check on me. "Are you okay ms.?" He asked. "I'm fine." I lied as I took my hand away from my face. "Do you know that man?" He asked. I looked away and spoke, my heart feeling what I was about to say. "No, I don't know that man." I said. He nodded and took down notes before going back to his car. I now felt all alone, knowing Sicheng was now gone and I had no place to go. I decided that while Xiao Ying was probably going to be in jail, I would go home and get my stuff and stay at Sicheng's place.

I quickly went back to the old apartment I shared with Xiao Ying and frowned as I walked in and was immediately flooded by old memories. Memories that no longer brought me joy but brought me sadness as I thought of how the boy I thought loved me cheated on me and was a fake asshole the whole time. I couldn't be happy with another man even cause I thought he cared for me too but he takes my first time and leaves, that fucking beautiful jerk. "Damn it Sicheng." I said as I fell into the floor, tears falling from my eyes.

He seemed like he cared so much. Why did he have to go? I got up and found a note on the fridge with a key attached to it. "Hey, I hope you found the note on the table. If so, I feel really bad about everything that happened so you can stay at my place as long as you want, here is a key and my number if you can forgive me enough to call me sometime." It said, making another tear fall. I dialed his number and waited for him to pick up. Surprisingly his handsome deep voice came through the phone. "Hello?" He said.

"Sicheng.." I said, smiling as I said his name while a tear left my eye. "Courtney.." he said back happily. "Listen, I'm so sorry about everything-" he started to apologize before I cut him off. "Sicheng I understand you're busy. I just..wondered if we even had anything for real. When I was with you last night, I felt so special and beautiful, a way my boyfriend never made me feel." I admitted. The line remained silent for a moment as I heard a light sniffle. "I'm so happy I could make you feel as beautiful as you are. You deserve the best and I understand if you don't have feelings for me anymore and I don't even know what to say to apologize for leaving so suddenly." He said.

My heart hurt at his words, I was mad but I still felt things for him. "Sicheng, I am so upset that you had to go suddenly but what I felt for you was real and still is real. Just promise me I'll see you again?" I said, crying. "I want to promise you that so bad. I want to be the man who comes home to you everyday and loves you forever but..I just don't know if it's possible." He said, making my heart hurt. "I promise I'll explain someday and we can call often. Please please don't hate me. Just know there is a good reason for why I left, I had no idea until the morning after everything happened." He explained more.

"I could never hate you Sicheng." I said as I sat down on the couch. "I don't deserve a girl like you. You're truly one of a kind." He said. Suddenly I heard what sounded like a woman's voice in the background. "Who's that?" I asked. "Um, I have to go, I have to take care of some business stuff. I will call you later okay?" He said in a hushed voice. I decided to give up on questioning and trusted him. "Okay, but don't forget to call me alright?" I said. "I could never." He said, making me smile. We bid each other goodbye and hung up. I sighed as I threw my phone down, feeling stressed.

I decided to go lay down and try to fall asleep. As I cuddled up into his cover, I noticed it smelled like his cologne. My mind was flooded of images of when we met and when he took my first time, making me blush. I fell asleep finally and felt at peace for once but everything was ruined when I woke up. I rubbed my tired eyes and sighed. The next several days went by quickly, same things happening over and over. Being sad, sitting around, laying down, falling asleep, waiting for Sicheng's call which only happened once every night and only for a few minutes.

Suddenly my phone started ringing and I looked down to see Sicheng's name pop up, making me smile. We talked about the usual, each other's day and how much we missed each other. But I noticed how every time we talked, he seemed to be talking in a hushed tone, like he was hiding from someone just to talk to me. I wanted to ask about it but I didn't want to anger him, I am sure I am just overthinking things. At least I hoped I was and that there wasn't a chance that he was seeing another woman where he was at now.

Even though I had my doubts, I still enjoyed talking to him and I still had hope that he would come back someday or maybe he would forget me overall and all my hope would be broken.
