In the Stars

Chapter 2

Dylan is feeling unstable, as he lies on his bed, sleep evading him. It's been 3 days, since bumping into her at the pool. At first when he saw her, all wet in her bikini, he was excited about seeing her again, and possibly even kissing her again. After he told her that he was now working there, she quickly put on her robe and ran off, without another word. It had amused him, seeing her so flustered, and he simply went on about his work.

However that night, he started to have vivid dreams about her, and he hasn't been able to stop thinking about her, ever since. He has lusted after girls before, he's had sex with a few of them, and even a serious relationship with his high school sweetheart, back home. But none of those experiences, have prepared him, for what he is currently going through. It's unlike him, to feel so out of control, to be so consumed by a woman, especially one he doesn't know.

He doesn't want to fall in love. There's no room for it in his life at the moment. He can barely take care of himself, let alone a woman.... a woman of her calibre. He sits up and opens the curtain slightly, looking out at the back of the mansion, from his quarters. He sighs, as he takes in its size. In what world would he end up with her, he thinks? Be realistic Wang He Di! That douche bag at the club was right. Women like Shen Yue are not meant for poor boys like him.

He contemplates having his fun, and just sleeping with her, to quench his thirst, to get over his infactuation, but it would be unwise to fool around with the boss's daughter. And besides....he has a sneaky feeling, that if he has sex with Shen Yue.... she will become his addiction. That scares him.  To be that dependent on someone....but something about her makes him want her completely... absolutely... not just sexually.

He will avoid her, he decides. He will pretend the kiss between them never happened, he will quench his thirst elsewhere, and he will move forward with his life plans. He doesn't need some rich girl, who will probably be married off to some tycoon, derailing him.

Yue is restless, as she tries to fall asleep. The last few days have been torture, ever since she discovered that the boy from the club, is now a landscaper at her house. She hasn't told anybody about the kiss, and Jia, who is now chatting frequently with Xi Ze, has not said anything to her about it, which means that he probably didn't tell Xi Ze about the kiss. Maybe it meant nothing to him...maybe he does it all the time.

The other day, she found herself trying be casual, asking Jia what Xi Ze's friend's name was, seeing as she didn't catch it that first night. It turns out his name is Wang He Di, or Dylan. His name has been running through her mind non-stop. Sometimes, when she is alone, she will catch herself saying his name out aloud. What is wrong with her, she thinks. He is just some guy, she doesn't even know. He is basically a servant at her house, so she already knows that they have no real future. Except something in the back of her mind tell hers.... that she is prepared to give herself to him.... should he ask. That scares her.

She is saving herself for love, for a serious relationship that could possibly result in marriage. Not some bad boy, who kisses girls he barely knows, in the club. But her whole body tingles, when she thinks back to his lips on hers, his tongue in her mouth, the feel of his body against hers, his scent. If they were to have another encounter, she already knows, she would become obsessed with him.
