My Fated Companion

Chapter 10

Dingding's P.O.V.

I've been in a sour mood all morning because of Ruwei. Today I have a very important and long photoshoot. I love photoshoots because I get to try on so many different styles, so hopefully, that'll cheer me up a bit. As I finished up breakfast, they led me to change into my first dress.

It's a blue mermaid dress because the theme of this photoshoot is under the sea. It was very poofy from knee down but I love poofy dresses. I revealed a bit of cleavage on the top portion and there were many different accessories around my waistline.

My hair was let down naturally for this one. I laid down on my side and leaned my head against my hand before looking at the camera. Flashes began going off. Just as I was about to enter into a good mood, Ruwei walked into the room. His eyes nearly popped out of his head when he saw me.

I looked down and quickly rolled to the other side because I didn't realize how much cleavage I was showing in that laying down position. Rose helped me up to get ready for the next one. I took a glance at Ruwei and he seemed once again pissed off.

It's amazing how angry he can get even when I don't say anything, imagine if I say something to bother him. I slipped out of my dress and slipped into another lighter sky blue dress that had a cape (sort of like Elsa's dress in Frozen). I put on my heels and walked back out.

"This one is a double photoshoot. You're going to be doing this photoshoot with Jake since you two need to go on the cover since you're composing this song together, all the fans want to see you two together." I nodded as Jake and I walked to the stage.

The director told Jake to stand behind me and wrap his arms around me, resting his hands on my waist as I put my hands on top of his. "Smile!" He said happily before flashes went off. "Ding, same position, but look over your shoulder and smile at him and hold that position, look into his eyes. Jake, move your hands slightly, yes, there you go." The director said as I turned around and looked into Jake's eyes.

We did a couple more pictures together until I saw Ruwei storm out of the room and slam the door, shocking me a little. I brushed it off as he's bipolar in general. I continued into my next photoshoot and it lasted throughout the entire day. Once everything was done, I sat down to have dinner with a few members from my crew.

"Ding, why don't you invite Ruwei down to eat with us?" Liam asked with a smirk as I took a bite of my biscuit, "He's too picky, he can eat by himself. Plus, he's been living in my room, the room I paid for and he didn't pay me a single cent." I said.

"But you're very happy to have him in your room, aren't you, why must you continue to deny this?" He asked as he took a drink of his drink, "Don't make me spill that over you." I threatened as he just laughed, "Seriously, go and get him down for dinner."

"Ugh, yes dad." I groaned before getting out of my chair and heading up to the fourteenth floor, his floor. I knocked a couple of times on his door, "Ruwei, it's Dingding, Liam wants you to come to have dinner with us." I said in a very monotone voice.

Just when I was about to leave, I heard a thump and then sounds of hurling. "Ruwei?" I asked as I knocked again, then there was a sound of glass shattering. I began panicking as I quickly ran down to Issac, his manager, and he gave me the room key.

I went back to his room and swipe the card, instantly getting access to his room. The key fell out of my hand when I saw Ruwei laying on the floor surrounded by about twenty bottles of alcohol. "Ruwei, what are you doing??" I yelled as I rushed to him.

I grabbed onto him and tried to help him stand up, but he just collapsed back onto the ground. He began reaching for another bottle, "Ruwei, nothing is more important than your body, how can you do this to yourself?" I cried as he slumped back into the couch.

"Come on, get up, go lay on the bed and I'll be back with some tea," I said as I finally got him to get up on his feet and began dragging him to the bed. I let go of him as he fell onto the bed. I lifted his legs up so he was properly laying on the bed.

"I'll be right back, I'm going to get some tea," I said, but he just grabbed onto my dress. "For goodness sakes, Ruwei, let go." I snapped, but he leaned over on the bed and wrapped his arms around my hips, completely halting me from going anywhere.

I tried to detach his arms from my hips, but they were too tight. "I wanted to be the one to do the photoshoot with you, but that Jake stole you from me. I hate how he had his arms around you, and you two looked so happy..." He slurred as I sighed.

"Ruwei, it was a photoshoot, a request from the fans, there wasn't much I could do about it." I said, "But you're my wife, not his wife, why can he touch you but I can't?" He continued slurring, "Trust me, in terms of touching me, you're touching me way more than you're supposed to." I said.

He suddenly gave me a pull and I collapsed on top of him. I let out a little scream as he locked me in his arms. "Ruwei, let go of me!" I yelled, but he just continued holding me in his arms. After struggling for a little while, I stopped resisting.

I felt his grip loosen around me as we laid next to each other with his arm draped across my waist. He turned to face me, "Ding, why is it so hard for you to love me?" He asked as he moved even closer to me.

"Ruwei, you're really drunk, you're going to forget all of this tomorrow," I said, I turned to face him. The way he looks at me, the way he comforts me, and protects me. He's right, why can't I love him? What am I truly afraid of?

"Ding, I promised that I would never hurt you, why can't you give me a chance?" He whispered as his lips were only inches away from mine. "Because, I'm afraid that if I let you love me, you're going to end up hurting me," I whispered, he's not gonna remember any of this anyway, so might as well be honest for once.

His grip tightened around my waist as he used his other hand to pull me closer to him, "I would rather die than hurt you, and I mean it." He said sincerely as my heart began to beat faster. My eyes moved to his hands as he began to move his hand around my stomach.

Before his hand could reach my breast, I stopped him. I quickly sat up, "Ruwei, I'm going to get some tea for you." I said before quickly hopping off the bed and running into my room.

I shut the door as I began hyperventilating, why does he have this effect on me? Maybe I truly am opening up to him, it wouldn't be so bad to have my husband beside me, would it? I began shaking my head as memories of his hand circling my stomach came flooding back.

Why does his touch feel so good? What is wrong with me? I grabbed a tea kettle before heading back to his room. No matter what, I have to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid tonight since drunk people tend to do dumber things.

I sat him up as I poured him a cup of warm tea. I sat down in front of him and handed him the cup, watching as he drank it like a shot of alcohol. I laid him down and tucked him in, "Ding, don't leave..." He said as he grabbed my arm.

"I'll stay here tonight, okay?" I asked as he nodded, "But can you let go of my arm?" I asked as he shook his head, fine, whatever suits him. I used a lot of force and forcefully pulled my arm away from his hands.

"Ding, I want to hold you." He mumbled as I stared at him. I thought for a moment, I do want to be in his arms, and he's drunk right now so he's not going to remember anything anyway. As long as he doesn't know I like this feeling, then it'll be fine.

I helped him into a laying position so he would be more comfortable. I got in next to him and allowed him to wrap his arm around my shoulders. I laid against his chest as he wrapped his arms around my waist and he held onto me tightly. I shut my eyes as I rolled further into his chest.

I've never experienced this kind of warmth before, the warmth that a husband can give to his wife. I felt Ruwei place a kiss on my forehead before drawing circles on my stomach. This really makes me want to spend my entire life with him, to have kids with him.

I wish this moment didn't ever have to end, that he could continue holding me like this forever. I felt so safe and protected in his arms. Maybe I'll give him a chance, maybe it wouldn't hurt to love him.
