Chapter 14
The alarm clock rang and I woke up in Zhan's arms, which was just beautiful. Already I can't imagine ever waking up without him again and it was only a few nights that I slept by him. And every day I'm more sure that I want to move in with him.
But of course, a little bit I wonder if maybe it's too soon. We've only been a couple for a week now, and we're still getting to know each other. Still, the whole time I feel like I've known Zhan forever and it just feels right. Maybe I should just let my feelings guide me?
After 15 minutes of taking extra time for cuddling and kissing, we got up, showered and then had breakfast together and I was already looking forward to Zhan having to drive me to work again today. After all, my car is still in the parking lot of the hardware store.
I'm totally looking forward to the weekend. For one thing, I'll finally get to meet Zhan's relatives who mean so much to him. My brother will come. And we'll all have a barbecue together. Then, Zhan and I are going to make my car and put in the new spare parts. And, I will get my book Fantasy World, Volume 5, with the special cover, an autograph from the author and Zhan will tell me who the author of the other book is. But I am almost sure that it is Wei Ying. Only he writes like that.
But if the book is really by Wei Ying, where did Zhan get it? Does he really know the author? Will I get to know him soon, too? Just thinking about it makes my heart beat faster. I would want to ask Zhan if he really knows the author, but I think he's just saying again, I have to wait until Sunday. Well, I'll be surprised then.
After breakfast, Zhan then drove me back to work, for me the drive could have taken hours as well. We said goodbye to each other with a very long kiss and a hug, then I went to Seungyoun, who was already waiting for me. He patted me on the shoulder in greeting and I would have liked to punch him in the face, because I still have severe muscle soreness.
I was just about to tell him about the book Zhan gave me, when our new employee Wei Yin came and grinned at me. Immediately he put his arm on my shoulder again and asked me, "Well cutie, did you miss me?"
I pushed his arm away and replied, "No, I didn't."
"Oh are you mad at me for not being there on Friday? Unfortunately I wasn't feeling well and couldn't come. But now I'm back my cutie."
"Look, first of all, I am not cute. And secondly, I'm certainly not your cutie. And I didn't miss you either."
"Oh come on. I think you've missed me."
"Why would I? I have a wonderful boyfriend who I love very much. What would I want with you?"
"Well, but your boyfriend doesn't write books. Books you like so much."
"Well, neither do you."
"How do you know?"
"Because, even without knowing him personally, I believe that the real Wei Ying is not a slippery player like you. And I don't care if my boyfriend writes books or not, I still love him."
"How do you know Wei Ying is not like that? You just said it yourself, you don't know him personally."
"Because the way he writes doesn't suit a grease monkey like you."
"Grease monkey? And what if I tell you now that I'm the author?"
"Then I still wouldn't believe you. In fact, I'd rather believe my boyfriend was the author than believe you. And besides, if you are, then prove it! From a reliable source, I know that Wei Ying has a new book coming out that has nothing to do with the fantasy world books. I also know roughly what the book is about. So if you are the author, surely you can tell me more about it, right?"
"I'm certainly not going to tell you. Afterwards you'll run around telling it all over the place. No, I'm not that stupid."
"That's right, you're even stupider. Now stop trying to tell my best friend that you're the author Wei Ying, okay? You better go in and get ready for your work." Said Seungyoun, taking me with him.
I can't believe what a huge asshole this guy is. How could I believe for even a second in the beginning that he might actually be my favorite writer? Now I'm certainly not going to be dazzled by him. Rather my Hubby is the author than that sleazy son of a bitch!
Unfortunately, our boss assigned Wei Yin to me again so that I could continue to train him. I did ask if someone else could take over, but my boss immediately said, "This week it's your turn and next week someone else will take over. And unless there are sufficient reasons why you can't induct him, that's the way it's going to stay."
I was, of course, pissed off and complained heartily during my breakfast break to Zhan, to whom I wrote all that had gone on. Zhan promised to pick me up from work today. He wrote to me, "Not much going on today and my boss said we can leave early. I'll pick you up my cute one. I just can't manage to change and shower beforehand. I hope you don't mind."
Thinking of Zhan and his work clothes, I grinned and wrote, "Looking forward to seeing you in your overalls my hubby." After that, my bad mood was blown away.
Wei Yin followed me around like a dog, talking and talking. Again and again he claimed to be the author. At some point, I was so annoyed by his babbling that I just turned to him and yelled, "Shut the fuck up! I can't hear your babbling anymore!" A couple of customers who overheard grinned and moved on.
At lunch time, Seungyoun and I went to the bistro and even there Wei Yin chased us. But fortunately, we were sitting at a table with only two chairs, so he couldn't join us as well. However, he sat across from us and kept winking at me. Seungyoun moved his chair around so that he was sitting in the way and he couldn't see me.
"That guy is really deranged. Just make sure you're never alone anywhere with him." Seungyoun said to me worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'll be careful. I think I'll have a talk with the boss tomorrow. I'll just tell him what's going on and hope he assigns someone else to him. I'd prefer it even more if he was fired, though. Nora told me earlier that he was only sent by the employment agency anyway and is still on probation."
"Yes, but I don't think the boss will fire him just like that. Think about it, he's the replacement for Jay. And Lee's job is still open."
"Yeah I know. Nora said someone new is supposed to come in next week. Probably an employee who worked at the Shanghai branch and transferred here after they moved here."
"How does Nora always know all this?"
"Well, she and the boss, well, you know. There's a lot of crackling going on."
"Oho I see. Well, they're both single so why not. And how are things with you and Zhan? Everything good?"
"Great. I'm really happy and he spoils me completely. On Saturday I was so exhausted after my brother's move that I could have fallen asleep while standing up. But I still had to take a shower. Zhan carried me into the bathroom and then washed me."
"So he saw you naked?"
"Mhm and I didn't mind."
"Oh admit it, you just wanted to show him how great your body looked."
"Hey, I was way too tired for that. But hehe, now I'm sure he won't look at other guys."
"He's not going to do that already. He's head over heels in love with you."
"Can I confide in you?"
"Yibo, you're my best friend, sure you can."
"Okay, well, I kind of can't wait until we do it."
"Do what? You mean sex?"
"Yeah."
"Well, that's a good sign that you're sure with him, isn't it?"
"I'm sure with him yes. But I'm a little scared. It's my first time and I'm afraid he won't like it because I have no experience and I don't know how to act."
"But he knows it will be your first time and I think he just expects you to trust him and he will do the rest."
"And how do I tell him I'm ready?"
"Well, you could just tell him, or you could show him in another way. I'm sure you'll think of something."
It's always good for me to talk to Seungyoun, as the more experienced of us, he often gives me tips and reassures me when I need it. When he met Wooseok back then, Wooseok asked us if we had ever had feelings for each other. But Seungyoun and I just laughed, because our feelings for each other are rather brotherly and had never been otherwise.
In the afternoon when my shift was finally over, I changed as quickly as I could and then ran outside. Zhan texted me that he would be there in a few minutes and I waited for him by my car. Wei Yin arrived by my side again and moved very close to me.
I told him to get lost, but he just laughed and said that I would want him too, because after all he was very sexy and handsome. I shook my head and told him again to just go away. And then he put his hands to my cheeks and wanted to give me a kiss.
Wanted to! But he didn't get to do that. Because Zhan came at the right moment, dragged him away from me and slammed his fist right into his face. "Touch my boyfriend again and I swear I'll beat you up so bad that not even your mother will recognize you."
"But he wants it too!" Shouted Wei Yin, holding his hand on his eye.
"Are you stupid or something? When did my boyfriend say to you that he wanted this? He clearly said no and told you again and again to get lost. So honestly, I advise you to stay away from my boyfriend, best quit your job and get the fuck out of here. Because believe me, if you come too close to him again, I will find you and then there will not just be one on the eye. And stop claiming that you're the author Wei Ying. We both know you're definitely not."
I clung to Zhan and he put his arms around me. "It's okay my cutie, I'm here." He said calmly. He then pointed a huge wrench towards Wei Yin and said, "Hands off my Yibo, first and last warning!"
Zhan then took me to his car, which he left in the middle of the road when he saw my distress, and drove me home. Actually, I can fight back, I'm not weak. But I had been so shocked at that moment that I couldn't move. Luckily my hubby was in time by me. And tomorrow he will go with me to my boss and we will talk to him about Wei Yin. Hopefully it will do some good.
