Siren Song - 171 Longing

“Seriously, the second he touches you and you’re right back in, what is wrong with you? You told yourself that you wouldn’t care anymore and you would move on. Yet there you are caring, wanting to know reasons and explanations.” Chang pressed a few fingers to her lips feeling almost like she could still feel his touch.

When he had held her and kissed her, it felt like being slowly warmed in the summer sun, it was a gentle flowing that took over all her senses and all she desired was to linger in the comfort.

“Huuh.” She sighed to herself while leaning her head. “I guess his grandpa was kinda right. He always does have a way with me, which is why I need to stay away. I can’t give my heart to him twice.. Even if he’s probably the most caring man I’ve ever met. Or attentive, or smart, or as handsome, as cutthroat at cards and fun to play with, or as good in bed. Dammit stop praising him.” Chang scolded herself after getting lost in the many reasons why she loved him.

“I do owe him my thanks for last year though, from what I remember and from the video I saw, someone was trying to take my integrity when he intervened. I was not able to tell from the video before, as it was done so terribly and they didn’t get a good shot of him, but now I know for sure it Was him. If he didn’t get me to the hospital I could have had serious damage to my organs or heart or even died from the overdose of GHB I was given. The hallucinations alone that lingered from the acid were bad enough.

“It’s actually about time to serve Robert his comeuppance for that. Unluckily for him, he reminded me about that yesterday.” Thinking of what she had planned for him she smiled wickedly and started her car. Driving out of the underground garage to the front she was surprised to see two figures standing together in front of the building complex.

‘Why are they both standing there together?’ Frowning she slowly rolled up.

Justin waved at her broadly before placing his leg out show girl style and pulled up his pant leg to show off his ankle.

“Oh yoohoo can I get a ride?” He called out to her coqhettishly with a sly grin.

‘Noope!’ Chang looked at him before facing straight, and slowly drove past looking as if she had no intention to stop.

“Hey wait don’t go!” He called and raced after her as if afraid she would actually leave him.

She stopped and gave him an evil grin as he ran up to her white Citroën panting. Straightening up ne saw the glint in her eye and pouted while opening the passenger door.

“Oh, you’re bad.”

“Actually, I was gonna ask you, he took a cab here and doesn’t have a ride, would it be alright if he rode with us?

Chang gave him an unfathomable look troubled by the request and looked at the man who stood further back in her rear view and sighed.

“Justin I can’t. I’m sorry.”

“It’s alright, don’t trip chocolate chip!” Justin leaned up and made an x with his arms at Liang Jian Amal before hopping in the front seat.

“Alright, suga momma where are we headed?”

“Les halles. That way we will be near a few other places I wanted to take you and we will be able to get you some fresh duds first.”

“Thank you!” Pulling out his phone he sent a quick text to the number he received earlier.
