Szema Mok got some food from the kitchen and brought it up to Bao Hua's room. His heart beated twice as fast now...
He knocked on the door three consecutive times and waited for Bao Hua to respond.
"Who is it?" came Bao Hua's sweet voice.
"It's me. Szema Mok. I brought you some food," said Mok quickly. He was really desperate to see Bao Hua. I'm becoming a pervert, thought Mok.
"Come in," said Bao Hua.
Szema Mok pushed the door into Bao Hua's room and he saw Hua resting on the bed. He laid the tray (with the food inside) on the table and he went over to the bed to help Hua up. "Are you alright?"
"Yes. Just a little tired. Thanks for helping me earlier," said Bao Hua as she got out of bed and walked over to the table.
Szema Mok helped her over to the table then he took a seat next to her. He looked at her. "No need to thank me. I said I'd never let my loved ones be hurt. That includes you."
Bao Hua blushed and she slowly turned her face so she faced her food. She prepared to eat.
Szema Mok grabbed Bao Hua's hand and he looked at her. He just held onto her cold hands...unwilling to let go.
Bao Hua felt happy yet shy...this was the first time she had ever been this close to a man. She felt the warmness of Szema Mok's hands and she slowly fell into his shoulders. She hugged tightly. This was the happiest moment of her life.
Szema Mok also held onto Bao Hua, but gently. He didn't want to hurt her. His smile was so large...so happy...
