My eyes widened and I pulled away in surprise. Ba Wei didn't say anything and just took a step back. He scratched the back of his head.

"Uh, sorry. I didn't mean to-"

"No it's fine," I said interrupting his apology.

I didn't pull back because I didn't like it, I pulled back because I didn't expect him to do that. I looked up at him and our eyes met. I got up from the chair I was sitting in and walked over to him.

"What-"

Before he could say whatever he could I leaned up on my tip toes and kissed him. I closed my eyes and focused on just that. Ba Weis body was still, but slowly it started to relax. I pulled back and slowly opened my eyes. The eyes that stared back at me made me uneasy. I couldn't read them.

"You could've asked me to lean down."

I smirked, "that would've ruined the surprise."

"Well I don't want this kiss to be a surprise."

A smile spread across his face as he leaned down and kissed me. When our lips met it sent shivers up my spine. The kiss was gentle and brief. When he pulled back I was unsatisfied, and when we made eye contact I think he sensed that.

Without a work he kissed me again but this time the kiss was rough. It was almost as if he was trying to eat me. I let out a soft moan and the kiss became even more intense. Ba Wei grabbed my hips and pulled me closer to him. His hands were warm and for the first time I felt like I was melting. It felt like my breath was leaving me, but even though I was beginning to suffocate I didn't want to breathe. I wanted to be swallowed fully by the man that stood in front of me.

When Ba Wei finally pull back both of us were panting. I knew that my face was redder than it ever was before. It didn't help that Ba Wei's hands were still on my waist. I looked up at him to see that he was looking at me. I wish I could say his gaze was normal, but as I stared back at him the only thing I saw in them was arousal.

Ba Wei cleared his throat and his hands fell from my waist. He backed away and I ran a hand through my hair. As we stood there in silence only one thing went through my mind. I wanted more.

"Well," I started, "that was intense."

"Yeah," he said as he leaned against the island.

I didn't say anything in return to that. I didn't know what to say in response to that. I wanted so desperately to tell him I want him to kiss me again but those words wouldn't leave my mouth. I wanted his arms back around me. I wanted him to make me forget about what happened earlier at my house.

"I'm gonna finish cleaning up. So we can actually sit on the couch."

When he said those words a bit of annoyance went through me. Couldn't he read the atmosphere at all. Couldn't he tell that the mess wasn't bothering me?

I wanted to say all of that to him but I just stayed silent and sat back down in the chair. I watched him as he began to clean again. Before watching him was mildly entertaining but now every movement he made was erotic.

Every time he would bend over I couldn't help but think that his ass looked good. Even when he would just bag trash I wondered exactly how strong his hands were. I didn't feel like myself. I had never looked at a man like this before.

As I stared at him I felt a particular part of me began to come to life. My face turned beat red and I put my hands in my lap. Why right now? Why at this moment? The kiss was good but it wasn't that good. Yeah it sent shivers up my body, but to make me react like this is shocking.

"You can come sit on the couch now," Ba Wei said as he tied the bag of trash.

"Okay."

"I'm gonna go take this to the dumpster so I'll be right back."

I watched him very closely and if I'm being honest I didn't register what he said until he approached the door. When he started to put his shoes on my heart began to beat fast. I didn't want him to go and before I could stop my mouth the phrase had already left it.

"Don't go."

Ba Wei looked behind at me and raised an eyebrow, and even though I was staring into those eyes I couldn't make up a reason I wanted him not to go. I just didn't want him to leave. I didn't want to be alone.

"Huh? Why?"

"Just...Don't go."

My voice was soft and I let my eyes drop to the floor. Why am I acting like this? Its not like I've ever been lonely so why now? Why is it just him that I don't want to leave me. I like him and that's fine, but why can't I figure out my feelings. It's so frustrating.

I could feel Ba Wei staring at me and I heard a sigh come from him. I looked over at him to see that he was taking off his shoes. Did it work?

"I thought I was the drunk one."

"What do you mean? You are."

"It doesn't seem like it," he said as he started walking over to me. "This side of you is something I never thought I'd see."

I ran a hand through my hair. I knew what he meant. I was acting emotional, but I couldn't help it. In front of him it's hard to hide anything so even when I want to hide my feelings I can't.

"It's only with you," I said quickly.

"Right." Ba Wei had come to stand directly in front of me. I looked at him and as our eyes met he reached out and caressed my face. "So you'll willingly show me your softer side but won't tell me what made you like this?"

I didn't know how to answer that so I just stayed silent. Instead of answering I just leaned into the hand that was on my face. It was warm and comforting. I wanted him to touch me more, and touch me all over.

"What can I do that will make you stop acting like this?"

Ba Wei's voice was soft and smooth. When it touched my ears it sent shivers down my spine. I want you. I don't know in what way but I want you.

I swallowed, "touch me more."

Ba Wei pulled the hand that was touching me away, "Don't ask for things you're not ready for."

I narrowed my eyes, "I wouldn't ask if I wasn't."

"Look, you're not in a stable mind so-"

Before he could finish that sentence I slammed my lips onto his.
