Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 8

Brian stepped out of the bathroom, wearing only a bath towel wrapped around his body. His hair was still dripping wet and and his face was slightly red after the hot shower. As he walked in the room, his eyes caught a figure standing just behind the slightly opened door. He squinted at the woman and found her all flushed and seemingly embarrassed. With only the dim light peeking through from the hallway, he could not get a clear image of her face. Suddenly, his head started to throb probably because he had stayed too long in the snow and might have caught a little cold. Looking curiously distracted, he watched the pretty girl catching her breath.

Molly frowned at him in bewilderment. She swallowed hard and then stammered the words: "Sorry... I'm sorry…. I.... will.... leave…. soon.…"Though uttering just a few words, Molly said it with great effort.

Her throat burned so she had to wheeze with her nose. When she looked up, her heart started to race and her breath was taken away by the handsome face in front of her. The man looked like the King of Hell taking charge of death and darkness that nobody would dare to stare at directly, but he was so tempting that anyone who saw him would be fascinated by him.

Standing there with his sharp eyes narrowed, Brian stared at the woman leaning against the door, the look in his deep and black eyes darkening. After some time, his lips formed into a smile and its corners curved slightly higher....

He thought the woman in front of him was Becky! He must be horribly drunk.

Brian looked at the ground to hide the sadness faintly exuding in his eyes. His pride would never allow anybody to see through his feelings.

"Uhh," Molly groaned in pain when her legs and feet turned limp all of a sudden. At the same time, her breath quickened and became uneven, and her pulses raced frantically. She looked at Brian vaguely with her back closely leaning on the door while her hands were tightly grasping the door handle to support her frail and powerless body.

Brian shook his dizzy head and then walked towards Molly. He wanted to see who the woman was and wished that it was Becky. Up until that moment, he was still desperately hoping that everything that had happened was unreal and that Becky would come back for him.
