Left Disappointed

'There are some things you don't need to know yet,' I said in my head as I looked at Wang Chao. I would leave myself an open book to the man because, honestly, it took a lot of pressure off of me.

I didn't always know what to say, or even if I knew what I wanted to say. It didn't always come out right. At least with Wang Chao in my mind all the time, there wouldn't be any misunderstandings because I said something or I didn't say something.

But there was a hard line when it comes to some aspects of me that I would not let him cross just yet.  I had two years to… I don't know…  do something. But before that time came, Wang Chao would have to keep his mind out of it.

He looked at me seriously and nodded his head. 'Anything you need to make your life easier,' he replied for my ears only. Turning to the keypad next to the door, the remaining three men each took a side in the narrow stairwell with their weapons out.
