The next day, I was feeling much better, but Ghost still continued with his nursing. Not that I am complaining, I was super happy with his display of affection and even dared to believe that he saw me a bit more than a friend.
I tried to talk to him about the previous night in order to see if he was okay with me clenching on him the entire night, but as usual he used the silent card and rushed out to buy us breakfast. Still, after breakfast, he sat with me until it was time for him to go for tutoring and he didn't even let me leave the bed to take a glass of water. Perfect wifey, hehe...
"Here is the cold pack in case you need it and lunch. I will come back in three hours," Ghost left the listed items on the nightstand.
I nodded with a huge smile on my face and when he was almost out of my place, I said "eight three one."
"What?" He turned around to look at me with a frown.
"Eight three one," I repeated again.
He arched his eyebrows, "what do you mean?"
"Nothing, just remember it," I said flirtatiously, and he nodded with a suspicious look before he left.
I played with my phone until he left the rooftop, then I got dressed to go to my home as I needed to talk about the happenings of the day before. On the road, as usual I stopped to buy my stepmom Raffaello and hopped to my bike again despite the cold and rushed to my destination.
"Bohai?" My stepmom welcomed me with eyes wide open, "why are you not resting?"
"I am completely fine," I answered, handing her the chocolate box, "I thought you might be out of stock."
She smiled very sweetly, "thank you dear, you just go sit in the living room, I will bring you some warm tea," she said and went to the kitchen.
When she handed me the tea, she sat across me and fixed her eyes on me with a huge smile on her face.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked after I took a sip of tea, suddenly my throat was dry.
"I have a feeling you are here to ask me something important, am I right?"
I fidgeted awkwardly on my seat. Damn, she was good! As I was already caught, there was no need to beat around the bush.
"I wanted to thank you for the porridge and... ask about Ghost," I spilled all the beans.
She nodded all-knowingly, "what do you want to ask about him?"
I shrugged, "something... anything..." For Heaven's sake, I was about to die out of embarrassment!
"Hmm," she thought for a second which felt like years for me, "he was very worried about you. He couldn't even eat much, keep checking the time even after I said you would sleep for hours. He said he didn't want to leave you alone for so long in case you needed him."
A warm feeling spread around my heart hearing her words. I already knew Ghost was worried about me, but I wasn't sure up to which extent that worry was. Now, my heart was finally at ease. I felt a huge grin took its place on my face, but I couldn't suppress it.
"Looking at your pleased expression, I am sure now," she said softly, her eyes were looking at my soul.
"Sure of what?" A sudden panic seized my heart. Was I that obvious? What would she think about it?
"You see Ming Wei more than a friend, right?"
I tried to read her expression but I couldn't. I run through my choices in my mind, but in the end I decided to tell her the truth. Why should have I been embarrassed for my feelings?
"You have a good eye, I dare say," I gave her a light smile, "you are right, I am in love with Ghost."
"I see," she mumbled.
"And?" I insisted, "how do you feel about it?"
It was now or never.
She reached forward and grabbed my hand, "he is a really good boy, so I can see why you fell for him."
"So you don't mind?" I asked hesitantly.
"As long as you are happy, I have no objection dear," she replied reassuringly.
I must confess I was agape, isn't she super cool?
I didn't even notice when I pulled her for a hug. When I noticed what I did, it didn't bother me though. "Thank you so much," I whispered.
She rubbed my back, "there is nothing to thank for, it is the duty of parents to support their children as long as it is not something bad."
It was a really nice moment so of course a sudden thought had to appear in my mind. I broke the hug and pulled myself a bit back to look at her, "but I don't know if Ghost feels the same about me, indeed, he is very thoughtful as well as helpful, but he doesn't give me any sign rather than blushing," I voiced out my worries to my unexpected love coach.
"It is your job to figure it out dear, but I believe it is fine for me to say that Ming Wei sincerely cares about you and enjoys your company," she said softly while patting my hand.
Talking with her calmed my poor heart greatly. As I was too busy thinking about how to make Ghost love me back, I didn't notice the time. Only after my stepmom asked me if I wanted to stay for dinner, I checked the time and saw that it was already four pm.
"I have to go, Ghost said he will come home for dinner," I rushed to the door.
"Home? Hmm..." my stepmom smiled almost mischievously, making me slightly embarrassed for my word choice before I was gone with the wind back home.
Ah Ghost, how much I must have whipped for him, you see!
