Chapter 13

I sway to the music, locked between Sherry and one of our old schoolmates. I can feel someone's stare on me, and although chiding myself for the thought that first comes to mind, can't help opening my eyes and searching around, just so I can make sure it's not him.

Only it is.

Lin DaoShi sits at the bar, chatting with his nephew, and his eyes are on me. I wonder what goes through that head, the mimosas and the wine I had for dinner clouding my non-existing judgement where it comes to this man. Fuck's sake, Jai, bloke's straight, why are you nursing fantasies about him? But if he's straight, why does he keep giving me those looks? Makes me want to push the button, just to see if he acts on it. What would he do, if I openly came on to him? Putting on a cocky smile, I curl one finger, calling him to the dance-floor. He smiles and shakes his head, it's enough for me to give up.
