"I have over eight pillows on the bed, why did you get yours?"

He asked as she walked into the room and then shut the door behind her.

"Uh?, oh! I forgot."

Liling bit her lower lip and gazed at the large comfy bed which was in front of her.

"You don't want to sleep? "

Liu Wei asked when he saw her standing with her pillows infront of the bed.

"Oh!... "

She immediately scurried over to the leftside of the bed and dropped her pillows, then sank into the bed. The bed was so large that it could contain five fat women but Liling lay at the farthest end of the bed. She hugged her pillows tightly and shut her eyes, though her mind was wide awake, as it monitored Liu Wei's movements around the room.

She felt his footsteps on the other side of the bed and after a few seconds, she felt that side deepen.

She waited for him to talk or do something but to her surprise, he did not do anything. He just lay there beside her quietly .

Liu Wei was not too close to her, but was not as dangerously close to the end of the bed as she was.

Almost a minute pa.s.sed and there was no reaction from him, when she was almost relaxed that he was not going to do anything, she felt a pull on her waists.

Liu Wei pulled her to himself and held her tightly.

Liling was taken by surprise so she naturally yelped.

"It's very late, you should not be screaming. "

Liu Wei murmured in the crook of her neck as though he did not do anything wrong. Liling felt her whole body start to heat up, she had never been this close to him before, he hugged her tightly with one hand and with the other hand, covered them both with the quilt.

"Your hair smells nice..."

Liling was almost turned into a pulp as she felt Liu Wei inhale her hair. She bit her lower lip and shut her eyes tightly, not uttering a word.

"Are you sleeping? "

Liu Wei asked after a while, seeing that she was silent. Liling shook her head lightly.

"You want to sleep now?"

"No, I'm not feeling sleepy."

Liling finally said something. She felt Liu Wei pull her closer to him and kiss her hair, making her squirm internally.

There was silence for a while, before Liu Wei spoke up again.

"I'm going on a business trip next week."

Liling's eyes immediately flung open as she heard his words. She turned around, so that she was facing him and he was staring at her face.

"When? when are you going? how many days will you be staying? when are you coming back? "

She asked extremely surprised. Her forehead bore a frown, signifying that she was not happy about it.

Liu Wei chuckled and pulled her closer, pecking her on the forehead;

"You miss me already? "

He asked, a smirk on his lips. Liling pouted her lips, and tried to ease the frown on her forehead.

"Not really, it's just that, I'm not used to you being away. You've never been away, actually."

She replied and swallowed hard, as her mind thought of how lonely the house would be without him.

"I'll be leaving on Monday, and I'll be back on Friday. "

"Liu Wei!, five days!"

Liling bolted up from the bed. Her eyes widened in shock, she was expecting him to say a day or two, but five days! that was too much!

"My love, it's not like that, I should have left a long time ago but I've been postponing it, now the work is all piled up. It should have taken not less than two weeks, but because I'll die if I don't see you in the next one week, I had to squeeze it all into one week. I'm so so sorry."

Liling felt a blush forming on her cheeks, his words were so touching but she forced her smile back into her lungs.

Feigning a frown, she crossed her arms and looked away.

"Wifey, come on, don't be like this, you know how much I will miss you, Infact, I'm missing you already, I would have wished that you come with me but you have to start practicing for your alb.u.m after the welcome party on Sat.u.r.day."

Liu Wei explained as he watched her angry form, Liling heaved a sigh and slowly lay back down on the bed.

Liu Wei seized the opportunity to her closer into his arms, hugging her tightly.

"I'm so sorry! okay?. "

She nodded her head slightly in response and snuggled into his arms.

"So where are you going to?"

"United States, and then to j.a.pan. United States for X-dyansty, and then j.a.pan for the company. Our branch there has some issues that needs my attention. "

Liu Wei replied and pecked her nose.

"You won't look at another woman twice, would you? "

Liu Wei nearly laughed. This woman was really very jealous!

"Of course not! Wifey, you know it's not possible, besides, I have no heart to desire another woman, you've stolen all of it."

Liling laughed at his joke and let out a small smile.

"You're silly, you know? "

"Yeah, just for you."

The room became quiet again, the duo hugging themselves, each deep in their own thoughts.

"What was the happiest moment of your life? "

Liling asked after a while, breaking the silence. Liu Wei did not reply immediately, he thought for a while before he replied.

"I'm quite confused, was it when you agreed to go out with me or when I first met you? "

"Liu Wei, I'm serious!"

Liling chuckled and lightly tapped his chests.

"I'm serious too. Let me see, the happiest moment should be when I first met you. I never expected that I would fall for someone and for someone I had never met before.

But the more I tried to forget you, you kept on appearing in my thoughts. "

There was silence for a while, then Liu Wei continued.

"Liling, do you know why the audition was held in Gahll?, it was because you were there. I wanted to see you again, that's why."

Liling's eyes widened and she instinctively looked up at Liu Wei whose eyes were still closed. She could not believe he had liked her from the first day they met.
