Chapter 8
Nari
By the time the driver had dropped Kwan and Zofia off, I was almost sober. Tae had asked me to stay over at his place, and I wanted to see his apartment, so I agreed. It didn't surprise me that he had an apartment in Canary Wharf.
“Thanks for organising tonight, Moonie,” I said as we reached her street.
She gave me a sloppy kiss and grabbed my hand.
“Make sure the next time we meet up that you're not a virgin anymore,” she whispered loudly with a giggle.
“I’m going to frikking kill you tomorrow,” I said as I closed my eyes because there was no way Tae could have missed her words.
She pulled back and frowned at me. “What did I do?”
I sighed and kissed her cheek. “You can read my angry texts tomorrow and find out.”
“Jason, can you please walk Miss Moonpie to her door?” Tae said as Moonpie struggled to open the door.
“Of course, sir,” Jason said as he exited the car.
“Nice to meet you, Tae. Thanks for the lift, and make sure you take good care of my friend,” she said before she began to giggle again.
Jason helped her out of the car, and as soon as the door closed, Tae took my seat belt off and dragged me onto his lap. I couldn't bring myself to look at him, and suddenly, I felt the urge to cry. My lips began to tremble as the feeling grew stronger.
“Do you want to break up with me now?” I asked as I rubbed the tear away that escaped through my tightly closed eyes.
“No, I want to marry you,” he said softly as he touched my cheek.
My eyes flew open, and I stared into his dark hooded eyes. “W-what?” I stammered.
“I want to meet your family and speak to your Dad,” he said. “Then I want to marry the fuck out of you.”
I felt panic, joy, and shock before I paused to look at him. He was serious, and his eyes were so intense as he looked back at me.
“I know it’s soon, Nari, but from the moment I met you, there was an inexplicable pull towards you, unlike anything I’d ever experienced. We were destined to meet,” he said as his hand moved from my neck to cup my face.
I nodded before I spoke. “I felt it, too.”
His face softened. “I want to do this right. You are theonlywoman for me.”
My eyes widened because I realised he was serious. He hadn't drunk much at the bar or the club, so I knew he was stone-cold sober.
“You're serious about this—”
“More than anything in my life,” he said, instantly cutting me off. “I wasn't planning this for tonight, but I’m glad I got my intentions out. I've thought of you constantly ever since I met you.”
“But we only met on Monday,” I said, confused because he talked as if he had waited for months, if not years.
Jason suddenly got into the car, and I tried to get off Tae’s lap, but his arms clamped around me.
“No, don't move. I like you on my lap,” he said with a wink.
“My first proper boyfriend in under a week, who is now my fiancé,” I said before I shook my head in disbelief.
“Why don’t I meet your family tomorrow, and we can pick out your ring afterwards?”
“You need to slow down. I’m still processing this,” I said as I pushed my hand through his soft thick hair, but even as I said it, I felt the frisson of excitement burst in my stomach giving me butterflies. This felt like a dream.
