When did Xiu become bold enough to do this, she didn't know. But when she felt the chains in her heart breaking, she just knew she had to do something. And she did. She chose to kiss him.
She chose to take a leap of faith or destiny. Whichever it was, she just knew that she had to do it. If not tonight, then when? If not now, then it'll become never. So, kicking the caution out the window was the right thing to do for tonight. Besides, she still had a trump card of being drunk. This kiss wouldn't hurt their friendship with that trump card.
With that thought in mind, she had pressed her lips against his. The scent of his body was overwhelming and yet why did she find it addictive? As the tips of their nose touched, and she felt the warmth of his breath, she was breathless already.
Finding faults with others is easy. But why do you have to do it at the expense of someone's belief and confidence in himself?
I don't make perfect characters. I never did. Perfection is an illusion in itself.
So, if you guys think that my Xiu's story is cold or she's not FL material. Please, try saying in nicer words. The one writing here has always poured her heart out for you guys.
I always keep my characters as real as possible and that's why they are never perfect. If you don't like it, that's up to you but I can't change my characters just because you say so.
P.S. Sorry for all this but I had to get this out of my system to get a goodnight sleep. My whole mood was spoiled writing this chapter.
