16. Their cravings

                                    

                                          
- June 23rd, Wednesday, Miami -
Waking up from a weird dream, Jia stretched and reached with her arms but, feeling the empty sheets beside her, she opened her eyes, seeing that she was alone in the wide bed. She also noticed that her half-naked body was covered with thin sheets so she smiled at it. Suddenly, Chan emerged from the corner, carrying a wide tray.
"Good morning, my princess. Did you sleep well?" he smiled and she sat up, pulling the sheets over her chest. He placed the bed tray full of delicious food in front of her, planting a kiss on her lips.
"Good morning to you too. Yup, I slept nice... Although my head feels heavy..." she hissed and massaged her forehead, "What is this?" she looked at the food and then back at Bang Chan.
"Specially ordered breakfast in bed for my sweet girl," Chan answered, holding himself on his arms, their faces still close.
"To what do I owe this pleasure?"
"For being so vulnerable yet sweet last night," he replied, kissing her again. Jia raised her eyebrow, "Aaand, to apologize again for being such an asshole in the club."
Jia noticed that he was fully dressed, the clock on the wall showing 10:20 in the morning. "Okay, and what about you?"
Bang Chan grabbed the bagel from the tray and took a big bite of it, jumping off the bed, "We're having a group meeting and other boring stuff so I must go," he went and took his backpack from the chair but turned back to her, "It pains me that I can't be with you today but I'll send a car for you tonight. Until then, enjoy your free time," he rushed his sentences, chewing on the bagel, "There are some painkillers in the bathroom cabinet for your headache if you want. Also, don't forget to pack - we're flying to Texas tomorrow. I'll text you later. Love you! Bye!"
And he was out, exiting the room without waiting for a reply from her. Jia was left sitting in bed, shocked, as she couldn't really grasp what Chan has just said and done. Chan used a mix of Korean and English when he talked and it was both cute and sexy. She was still sleepy but she clearly heard the last words. 
"Love you?"
Jia repeated the words over and over, Chan's Australian accent echoing in her mind. She smiled at that, loving and enjoying the affection, but it still felt odd that he was suddenly acting so cute and lovely... like a real loving boyfriend. Was he really feeling regretful after last night? Or was it just another mask? Plain words that he used to bait her with...?
And "love" is a strong word and shouldn't be used that easily... So, Jia knew that he blurted the words out without thinking, affected by their fight from last night, and that she shouldn't cling onto them. It'll definitely be easier for her to approach this whole situation without getting her feelings mixed in.
Jia still felt strange about last night. Did she overshare her feelings? Did she "forgive" him maybe too easily? Her frustration and anger reached their peak and she blurted out everything that was on her mind... even confessing her love to Bang Chan. But... why did she fall in love with him? 
Bang Chan was an incredible kisser, he knew what to do with his hands (and his body), and Jia always fell for that kind of men - men who gave her pleasure which she converted into love. They were all about her body and not her heart... and that's why all of her previous relationships were short-lived.
Then again, Bang Chan showed to her his sweet and caring side, he was vulnerable too, he let her talk and listened to her worries while also sharing information with her that wasn't known to the public, he wiped her tears and hugged her every time she'd cry while talking, and kissed her sweetly. But... he was a rising k-pop star - there was no way that he'll have time both for her and his work...
