How I dream of you.- Part 2

Yang Tian-Xu knew her mother’s intention was to have him spend more time with Tong Yue-Yan. Even though he finds it a little annoying, he stills obey his mother’s commands. His mother hope their relationships could improve into something more than just friends.

“Yes, mother.” He replied, thinking of how short it would be to take her home, he couldn’t careless about it if it makes his mother happy.

“Oh no, it’s okay, President Yang just got home. I wouldn’t want to bother him so much. I have my driver waiting outside.”

“Oh please, both of you should stop being so polite to each other, Tian-Xu is only three years older than you. You can call him by his first name.” Then she turned to look at her son, “You too Tian-Xu, stop being so polite and treat each other friendlier.”

“Yes, mother.” Tian-Xu obediently replied. “Yue-Yan, shall I see you to your car then?”

“Oh, yes… Thank you.” She lowers her head as she hides her embarrassed face away from them, she gave a slight bow as he walked to the front door, he open it for her, and then they walked out together.

When the door closed, Mrs Yang smiled at Mr Yang and said, "Aren't they such a cute couple?" and Mr Yang would smile back at his wife and said, "Yes they are, in the future we'll have the cutest grandchildren."

Outside in the courtyard, they walked over to her car, parked at a pleasant two-minute walk away. The driver sat there waiting with patience. While Tong Yue-Yan takes her time, strolling with him slowly, in hoped to spend more time with him. Like a lady as she walked with Yang Tian-Xu beside her, she thought about how handsome he looked, while she sometimes glanced a peek at him now and then, her heart was racing at his presence.

Utter calmness, unlike the girl beside him. He never turns her way once and only walked beside her because he couldn't be improper and walk ahead of her. In his mind, he thought, “Man, can’t this girl walk any faster?” He wasn’t dense, he knew what his parents wanted, especially his mother. For a chance for them to get close to each other and perhaps start a political marriage. However, towards Tong Yue-Yan, he harbours no emotions for her, to him she is just a random-rich girl his mother wanted him to marry. Tong Yue-Yan might be beautiful, smart, and elegant. But, she doesn’t give him that 'my heart just skip a beat' moment.

Again, he thought about her. The one stranger who made his heart skipped a beat.

“Um, thank you for walking me to my car.” Tong Yue-Yan said politely, as she smiled at him, she gave off a princess-like aura around her.

Tian-Xu snapped back to reality and said, “It’s okay, there is no need for the formalities. Shall I come by to pick you up? What time would it be more convenient for you?” he asked, the tone of his voice makes it sounds more like a business transaction than a date.

“Would 10:00 a.m. be okay? I have a lot of places I would like to see.” she said trying to make excuses to see him earlier.

“Sure, I will meet with you then, I hope you have a safe trip home.” He said as he watched her boarding inside her car from the back seat and like an exact way a gentleman should behave, he closed the door for her. He raised a hand up, gesturing a wave to see her drove off by the driver.

The moment he walked back in the front door, he parents stared at him. He could tell just from their looks what they wanted. “I will come pick Miss Tong at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow now, I hope you're satisfied. Now please excuse me, I would need to finish up more work tonight so I can free my schedule for tomorrow.” He said as he walked up the stairs.

His parents looked at each other and thought, did they pair them up or was it unsuccessful? From the tone of his voice. He made it sounded like a business report.

As Yang Tian-Xu returned to his bedroom, well organised, clean, and being a precious child from an influential family, he need not clean anything. He took off his necktie, and threw them on his bed, and laid down for a moment. Before he bounced on to his computer desk, he sat down and turn on his laptop. He gets out documents after documents to look at and read through them. Then he gave his assistant a call ordering him, "Take over the interns interview tomorrow I have other business to attend."

His assistant agreed, "Okay boss!" and then they hang up the call.

Yang Tian-Xu's room was quiet, the only sounds he made was coming from his keyboard, typing out contracts, business plans, and future meetings proposals with other companies. In five hours, he completed everything he needed for work tomorrow. The time display on clock was 12:20 a.m. Tired from the non-stop work, he got ready for bed.

He headed towards the shower and unbuttoned his shirts. Removing his clothing one by one, revealing his well fit body, attractive, not a single tiny scar on him. A man with a perfect body, a perfect face, and the ideal family background.

After he came out from the shower, he dried his hair on a towel. He jumped onto the bed and fell fast asleep by 1:00 a.m.

That night, he had a dream; it been a while since he dreams about anything. Despite that, inside his dream she was in it. The girl with that sweet smile as she patted the dog’s head, that cheerful girl who helped an old lady pushed a cart up a steep road. Even if her hands were to become dirty, she didn’t seem to care.

In the dream he saw her smile, smiling at him. It was a realistic and vivid dream. Almost like he could touch her, hold her, and kiss her.

Kiss her?

As he moved in closer, with his lips only inches away from touching hers. The alarmed clock rang, it was probably the most annoying sound he had ever heard, as he opened his eyes, the first time he had woken up later than usual. On a regular day, his usual routine includes waking up at 6:00 a.m before the alarm rang, he'll go out for a good morning jog. However, the clock rang at 8:30 a.m, he has no time to enjoy a jog and rush to the shower, washing off his night sweat.
