My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Yesseca paused for a moment. She didn't really know how to continue.

Yesseca placed the photo back under her pillow. She was shocked to see what time it was.

It was already nine o'clock!

She had slept for such a long time!

Why hadn't Kyi in come to look for her? It was already so late!

Kylin said that he would come to pick her up!

Yesseca ran to the living room and looked outside her window.

Yesseca saw that Kyi in's car was parked below.

She quickly ran down, still in shock.

Kylin was in the car.

"Why didn't you call me?" Yesseca asked, surprised.

Kylin looked at Yesseca's hair. "Yesseca, your hair is a little messy."

Yesseca was quiet.

She had forgotten to comb her hair after she woke up.

"No rush. Go ahead and wash up first," Kylin said.

"Then please wait for me," Yesseca quickly ran back upstairs.

She washed up and then came back down again.

This time, she had cleaned herself up.

Kylin then explained.

He had arrived at 6 p.m., but when he knocked on her door, there was no response, so he waited downstairs.

Yesseca was speechless. "I must have not heard you. You should've kept knocking, and called me over the phone."

Kylin had a gentle smile on his face. "I knocked on your door several times, but you didn't answer, which meant that you were probably asleep. Since you were still sleeping, I didn't want to wake you. Sleep is very important, so I waited downstairs."

"But you've been waiting for three hours!"

"It doesn't matter. I'll wait for as long as it takes for you."

Yesseca was dumbfounded.

After a while, she murmured, "Kylin, you're such a nice person,"

"It's not about being nice," Kylin said meaningfully, "This is what a man should do for his girlfriend,"

Yesseca held her breath.

She looked at Kylin.

Kylin looked back at her. "Yesseca, if you regret being with me, I won't hold it against you."

Yesseca's breathing returned to normal.

She smiled. "I don't regret it. I said I'd be with you and I meant it."

Kylin looked relieved. "Let's get some dinner. Where would you like to go?"

"Anything is fine," Yesseca said. "I want to visit Selina after."

"Alright."

Kylin took Yesseca to a Japanese restaurant.

Their food was served shortly after they sat down.

There was ramen, sushi and some teriyaki meat.

"I often ate at places like this when I studied abroad. It's convenient and healthy," Kylin said to Yesseca with a smile on his face.

Yesseca nodded. "Service is quite fast."

"Do you like it?"

Trying to liven up the conversation, Yesseca replied, "I'm a foodie. I'm happy as long as I get to eat,"

"Then I'll take you to eat anything you want next time."

Yesseca smiled at Kylin and began to eat her food.

Both of them ate relatively fast and left the restaurant soon after.

Kylin drove to the hospital.

On the way, Yesseca asked Kylin about Selina.

"Selina is doing well and the baby looks really adorable. He looks much better than he did last night," Kylin answered.

Yesseca couldn't believe it.

"In such a short time too?"

"Yeah. Just last night, the baby looked like a wrinkly old man, and now he's a cute, chubby baby!"

Yesseca couldn't wait to see them.

She thought about how cute the little baby was and wondered if it still had wrinkled skin like it did last night. Kylin saw how excited she was and drove faster.

They soon arrived at the hospital.

Yesseca went to see the baby.

It was just as Kylin said, the wrinkly looking baby from last night was now a chubby, happy baby.

Yesseca had arrived just as the baby was waking up.

The baby opened his two black eyes.

Yesseca had never seen such a beautiful pair of eyes before.

The baby's sclera looked as white as ivory in contract with its black iris. It was like seeing a drop of black mercury in a pool of white.

"The baby is so cute," Yesseca couldn't resist laughing.

Lying on the bed, Selina said, "The baby looks more like Matthew, so handsome,"

Beside her, Matthew said earnestly, "I think it would have been better if he looked more like you. I think you look way better,"

Selina waved her hand in dismissal. "You're lying." Everyone laughed at her comment.

Everyone was excited about the

arrival of this baby. Yesseca was

wrapped up along in the cheerful atmosphere and felt her mood improving. Time passed very quickly. In a blink of an eye, it was

eleven o'clock.

Except for Matthew, who stayed with Selina, everyone else headed home, including Yesseca.

However, Yesseca didn't want to go home.

She was very happy to be in such a cheerful atmosphere with lots of laughing and chatting. It helped her forget about how sad she felt inside.

She was afraid that if everyone left, she would start to feel sad again.

But everyone was already leaving.

She couldn't stay here by herself.

Yesseca had no choice but to say goodnight to Selina.

Selina then held her hand and asked, "Yesseca, today is your first day being in a relationship with Kylin. How do you feel?"

Yesseca looked bewildered.

How did it feel?

She didn't seem to be feeling anything.

She could only reply vaguely, "It was alright,"

Selina was overjoyed. She said, "Today is the 26th. Yesseca, I'll remember this day forever. This will be your and Kyi in's anniversary day of love Wait till next year, I will hold a romantic anniversary party for the two of you,"

Yesseca sensed the kindness in Selina's heart.

She couldn't help but say, "Thank you, Selina,"

"You don't need to thank me." Selina said sweetly, You're my sister. Your business is my business. If Kylin even dares to bully you, tell me and I will give him a good talking to," "However," Selina's tone suddenly changed. "I don't think that day will

ever come. Kylin is a real gentleman. That will never happen."

Kylin sent Yesseca home.

Just like Selina said, Kylin was a real gentleman.

Although Yesseca had agreed to be with Kylin, Kylin was still as respectful as before. He didn't say or do anything to her that crossed the line.

At first, Yesseca was very afraid. She had just started a relationship with him and was very worried about getting intimate with him.

However, she realized she was worried over nothing.

Kylin didn't cross over any of her boundaries.

This allowed her to let out a sigh of relief.

This was good for her, she thought to herself. This would give her enough time to get used to him.

When they arrived at her apartment building, Kylin said goodbye to Yesseca.

This farewell was a little bit different than his usual one though.

Kylin spoke a bit more than usual.

He told Yesseca to get a good rest and not to use her phone before going to bed. He also told her the time he'd come to pick her up tomorrow.

"I'll take you to breakfast tomorrow. You don't have to make it at home. Get some more sleep," Kyi in added.

Yesseca wanted to refuse his offer.
