Take My Breath Away

Blair's birthday was on lunar June 6th. Chinese Valentine's Day came a month after.

It had been one month since Wesley's last phone call. Blair kept herself busy at work every day, doing overtime to keep her mind off him.

Life was dull without Wesley.

On the eve of Chinese Valentine's Day, Talbot called her out of the blue.

'Why is Talbot calling me? Did something happen to Wesley?' she wondered anxiously and picked up the phone in a hurry.

"Talbot, what's up?" she asked.

"It's me." Wesley's voice came from the other end.

Blair gave a sigh of relief. "Are you with Talbot?" she asked.

"Yeah. What do you want as your present?"

"Huh?" she asked, confused as to what he was talking about.

"Tomorrow is lunar July 7th," Wesley reminded her. He had heard that this festival meant a lot to women. But apparently, Blair didn't even seem to know that this festival was the next day.

Blair was surprised that Wesley remembered. She smiled. "I'm surprised that you remembered. It isn't like you at all." Wesley had changed a lot.

"Because I'm in love," he replied simply.

Blair blushed, her heart leaping out from her chest. She remained indifferent even though she had been looking forward to Chinese Valentine's Day for the past month. "You don't have to buy me anything."

"Okay."

"Huh?" she blurted in shock.

"I called to wish you. I may not have time to talk to you tomorrow."

"Oh." Blair's face fell when she realized that she would be out of touch with him once again.

"Happy lunar July 7th, Blair!"

"Thank you, Wesley. Same to you," she said with a sincere smile.

"I have to go now. Take care of yourself," Wesley said softly.

"Okay."

And the phone call ended just like that.

By the time Blair got off work the next day, she had gotten neither a call nor any presents from Wesley.

'It's true that I told him he didn't have to buy me a present. But I didn't think he really wasn't going to get me anything, ' she thought sadly.

She looked at the rose bunny and scolded through clenched teeth, imagining the bunny

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

s floor, Talbot was nowhere to be found.

She called him, but his phone had been turned off.

She placed her finger on the fingerprint scanner. With a beep, the door unlocked. Wesley hadn't erased her fingerprint from the scanner.

Blair let out a sigh of relief. She pushed the door open, walked inside and turned on the lights.

Everything was the same as the day she had moved out.

She walked around, reminiscent of the past. For the longest time, she stood in front of Wesley's bedroom. The door was closed.

She grabbed the doorknob and turned. Suddenly, someone grabbed her wrist. "Aargh!" she screamed.

"Shh! It's me!" A firm hand covered her mouth to stop her from screaming further. She was held fast against a broad chest, and a familiar scent wafted into her nose.

Her heart drummed with excitement. Her eyes brimmed with tears. Removing his hand from her mouth, she asked, "When did you come back? Where's Talbot?"

Wesley didn't answer her. Lowering his head, he gave her a gentle kiss on her full lips. Her beautiful lips had kept him awake on so many lonely nights. "Blair, happy lunar July 7th!"

She looked at him tearfully. "Are you hurt? Let me have a look at you."

She reached out her hands to examine him, but Wesley grabbed them and said, "I'm here to be with you. Nothing else matters. I have only two hours. So, let's not waste any more time."
