Drunken Kisses: Step Forward

I remembered what Yue said to me. I had to move forward no matter what the outcome of my conversation with Xize will be. And this is the outome. Him falling in love with me and me falling for him. I had to make a step forward.

I felt him rub my back soothingly. Then slowly I gazed up at him. Then kissed his cheek, finally calming down.

"Thank you Xize." I smiled at him.

He smiled at me adoringly.

"So are you willing to let me in this time? I won't promise you that I won't hurt you. At some point in time I may hurt you knowingly or unknowingly. But this I can promise you, I will do my best to love you. And even if we're both hurting, I will still love you because now we're both protecting each other's hearts." He assured me.

I nodded. "Yes Xize. I'm willing to let you in. I'm willing to let you love me. And I'm allowing myself to love again, to love you as much as I can. I'm choosing you as the person who can hurt me, because I know you will love me just as much." The feelings were pouring out steadily from my heart.

He kissed me one more time, a deep searing kiss. Yet one filled with an unspeakable promise.

"Can we get out of here now? I mean I love that we're together. But kidding aside, it's actually getting hot in here." I said to him.

"Just one more thing." He said.

"What is it?" I asked him.

"Will you be my girlfriend? Like literal girlfriend not girl plus friend. Just wanted to make sure." He smiled at me.

I laughed. "Yes Xize. I will be your girlfriend. Actually we can both be brothers and a couple. Nothing changes, just much sweeter and cringy." I smiled back.

We finally went out of the stock room and ran towards his BMW in the parking lot. We laughed at our antics, I was barefooted and he took off his coat along the way because it got too hot. We already messaged our managers to go home ahead of us.

"Well that went well." Xize said once we were inside his car.

He placed my seatbelt for me once again. Then started the car.

"Why do you do that?" I asked him as we pulled out from the parking lot.

"Do what?" He asked, wondering what it was about.

"Put my seatbelt on for me. I told you I'm not a kid." I said to him.

He smiled and glanced sideways at me briefly.

"Because in case you haven't notice, I actually love taking care of you." He finally said.

I grinned and kissed him on the cheek. He blushed.

"Ohh, my boyfriend's getting shy now. So before when you took care of me and Yue it's already because I'm special? You don't do that to any other girls?" I asked him.

"Stop it. I'm just so happy we finally get past the tension that constantly surrounded us. And yeah you're both special to me. Yue is special because Dylan loves her and he's one of my brothers. You are special because I already have my eyes on you. Have you seen me giving extra care to the other girls? Was I protective over them? I respect them and always try to help because that's the way I was brought up. But with you, it's always special." He admitted.

"So I get the Xize special even before?" I teased him.

He chuckled. "You could say that."

I kissed his cheeks once again.

"Do I get this kisses everytime I do something special for you?" He asked voice filled with excitement.

"You could say that." I said his words back to him and we laughed.
