Dylan, in his coquettish version, began to play a game of self-validation. Like a childish little boy, he insisted on finding evidence of my affection for him in every aspect of life.
He assigned me to deliver files to him at work, insisting on rubbing my hand with his fingers when taking the files. I instinctively avoided it. He said I was shy, so I must like him.
After work, we went home together. When he bent down to tie the seatbelt for me, I hesitated for a moment. He said I was nervous, so I must like him. The dignified and proud Dylan, who always showed himself as such in front of others, surprisingly got drunk at a party.
When I received a call from Younger Black, I was surprised. Dylan, who always appeared clear-headed, except for continuously leaning on me, seemed a bit amusing.
It was already midwinter, and the sky began to snow lightly. "Drunkard, get off the car and take a walk to sober up," I suggested, intending to take a walk for some fresh air, so I pulled Dylan out with me.
Dylan obediently accompanied me out of the car. Elder and younger Black sensibly left. There were few pedestrians on the street, and the air was slightly chilly. We walked side by side, leaving a few rows of footprints in the shallow snow.
As the person beside me gradually fell behind, I stopped and waited for him. Thinking he was teasing me, I turned around in annoyance, only to almost collide with him as he walked briskly toward me.
I could see the snowflakes hanging on his eyelashes. He took out a sparkling thing from his coat pocket. "Isabella, this is the citrine you wanted. It's for you."
I was stunned for a moment. My thoughts drifted back ten years ago, when he found out about my plan to run away. He chuckled softly, "Have I caught Miss's weakness?" I was infuriated, so I gave him money to appease him and took advantage of him.
"Isabella, you're really not serious.You're always distracted." The man's voice brought me back to reality. In reality, I looked into his eyes. A pair of eyes full of stars. And in those eyes, the stars gathered into a small shadow. That shadow was myself.
My heart suddenly raced. It seemed like something was gushing out, not only from my eyes but also from my heart.
"Okay, let's go," I took the citrine from his hand and stuffed it into my pocket hastily. The person behind me remained unmoved. "Isabella, you took my things and don't want me anymore."
At this moment, he seemed like a pitiful little dog. I reached out to him, and he immediately stepped forward cautiously to hold my hand gently. I interlocked my fingers with his, and in the next moment, he tightened his grip and gently pulled me closer. I tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek.
"This is a reward for the begging little dog. I like you, and I will never leave you." Later, as I expected, it turned out that Dylan was not really drunk.
