After my father left the room was silent

After my father left the room was silent. In fact Ba Wei didn't even look in my direction when I walked back in the room. He was sitting against the headboard just staring at the wall. I couldn't help but think that maybe he was upset with me. I don't know why he would be but my father did just try to pick a fight with him.

I walked over to the bed and sat down beside him and looked him over. Why does my father have to ruin everything. The mood that was set was gone now, and awkward silence now filled the room. I let out a sigh and looked down at my hands. Why did he have to come here?

"Hey," I called as I looked up at him.

"Hmm," he said turning his attention to me.

"Are you mad at me?"

I watched as a look of confusion washed over his face. Without saying anything he reached out and caressed the side of my face. I was surprised by this but didn't pull back.

"Why would I be angry with you," he asked in a soft voice?

"I don't know. My father did just try to pick a fight."

"It's true that I'm angry but not at you."

I let out a relieved sigh, "I'm glad."

Ba Wei didn't say anything and just stared at me. I raised an eyebrow at him and right as I did that he removed his hand.

"Do you purposefully do cute things like that?"

"Huh," I asked as our eyes met? "What do you mean?"

He shifted his eyes, "airheads are scary."

I pushed him, "I'm not an airhead."

"Of course you would think that."

"Fuck you."

I watched a smile spread across his face. Seeing that face, a happy face on him made my heart flutter. It made me so happy that I was probably the only person who has seen it.

"Don't stare at me with that look on your face."

"What look are you referring too?"

He reached out and poked my nose, "the look of wanting to devour me."

I didn't think I was looking at him any kind of way. I admit that dirty thoughts had been trying to seep their way into my mind but I was pushing them out. I guess I wasn't doing a good job. It didn't seem like he minded too much, but it was embarrassing.

"Sorry," I said clearing my throat. "I can't really help it."

He let out a full laugh, "lucky for you neither can I."

When I heard that sentence my eyes immediately snapped to his and as we stared at each other I could feel my face hearing up, but I didn't look away. I studied his face and when I saw nothing on it I turned my attention to his ears. They were red. So he does get embarrassed in front of me. How cute.

I shifted my eyes and let my eyes scan his body. In truth I wanted to touch him more. I wanted to pull that cute side out of him that no one else had seen. I wanted to bring this tough guy to his knees. I want to devour him.

"Don't flirt with me so openly," I said as I pushed my hair behind my ear.

"Why? Don't like it?"

As he asked that our eyes met. I didn't say anything and just stared at him. I wonder if he could read what my eyes were saying because I knew I couldn't say it aloud. If I were to tell the truth the things I wanted to do to the guy beside me would make an old lady blush.

"We should get to bed soon," I said changing the subject. I had thought that Ba Wei would say something about the sudden change but he didn't.

"Hmm? Why? It's still early."

"Yes, but we still have to study."

"I didn't bring my school books."

"I didn't either. We can wake up earlier and go get them."

Ba Wei let out a groan, "why are we studying on these two days we have off. We should have fun."

Hearing that sentence actually made me believe that this eighteen year old boy had the mind of a toddler. He truly just have forgotten that we still have to make decent grades and plus midterms are right around the corner. He might not be stressed at all, but I very much am.

"I have a responsibility to not let your grades slip. Plus you got me suspended the least you can do is actually do something I want to make it up to me."

He sighed, "okay okay. Don't get so aggressive about it, but I have a condition."

I raised an eyebrow, "state it."

"Well if I go through that torture then come and stay at my house."

"If that will make you be willing to listen during the tutoring then sure."

A small smile spread across his face and I couldn't help but think that it was very cute. I wonder if he would have still asked me to stay over if I didn't mention the tutoring. A part of me wanted to know an answer but I know I didn't need to know it.

I got up from the bed and Ba Wei followed suit. I pulled the sheets back and climbed into bed. As I was situating myself I caught a glimpse of Ba Wei removing the shirt he was wearing. As I scanned his body I saw a lot of new bruises. I wanted to ask where he got them from but I knew he would never tell me. He never does.

I was still deep in thought when Ba Wei climbed into bed and when we came face in that bed I realized something. This is the first time that me and him would actually be sharing a bed. My face turned beet red and Ba Wei didn't say anything and suddenly sat up. I was about to ask him what he was doing when he reached and turned off the lamp.

I let out a soft sigh and waited for him to stop moving in the bed. I closed my eyes and tried to relax, but my mind was racing. All kinds of thoughts were running through my head.

"Goodnight."

When he said that I seemed to instantly relax and soon I fell asleep faster than I had in a long time.
