Tao took your hand and raised it high up in the air. “Hmm,” you murmured. “Watch,” he said. You took your eyes off of the mute TV screen and looked up. He moved your hand in a horizontal eight like motion.
“Infinity?” you whispered.
“Yes..Infinity…” he paused. “Infinity is the time I want to be with you” he replied rather seriously. You chuckled a little at his sudden attempt to be romantic. You elbowed him slightly and moved yourself away.
“What?” he asked pulling you back. “Out of all the times you choose to be cheesy today?” you asked.
“Yes,” he said pushing you on the couch, hovering his slender but strong body over you.
“Let me watch the show,” you tried to fight back and push him away. Tao grabbed your wrist and pinned you back against the couch. “The show’s not that important,” he said breathing close to your face. It came to the point that you started to blush. “Now tell me that you love me..”
“Aaaaa…” you teased.
“What’s up guys?” Lay said entering the room.
“Oh my,” both you and Tao jumped up right.
“Oh…did I interrupt something?” Lay said taking his attention away from his phone and looking at you two.
“Oh no no.. nothing,” you said. “How’s that project of yours going?” you walked up to him.
“It’s almost done. I will need your help finishing the last part though. Turns out I’m going to have to record your voice again,” Lay replied.
“What project?” Tao tried to butt in. “Why don’t I know about this?”
“Stop bugging me,” Lay pushed him out of the way. “_________ so when will you be free?”
“Probably tomorrow night. Are you free then?” you asked him while handing an orange to Tao.
“Tomorrow!!” Tao suddenly cried out loud.
“Yeah!” you gave him a weird look also telling him to calm down.
“I’m free tomorrow,” Lay replied.
“Are you sure you’re free tomorrow night?” Tao asked you with special emphasis on the word tomorrow.
“Yes I’m sure,” you thought for a while before replying.
“Alright so its set. I’ll see you here tomorrow,” Lay said before leaving the kitchen. You looked over at Tao who seemed distressed and heartbroken. You began to ask when your phone suddenly rang. It was your mother. You had to take that call.
.
.
“Hey Tao! I’ll have to leave right away. Mom needs me home for some reason. But I’ll see you tomorrow I suppose.” You winked at him and rushed out the door soon after. Tao wanted to call you back but he was a little too upset to ask you to stay.
*************************************************
The Next Day
You sat next to Lay helping him decide which video clip to use next. “Why is this so cheesy? Look at the girl and the guy. This is too much. Are you sure you want to add that clip to your final video?” you asked him.
“It’s not that cheesy. This is exactly how you and Tao were when you first started going out.”
“Oh no we weren’t. If anything.. we were very normal and I definitely did not giggle as much as she is,” you said pointing towards the screen.
“You obviously can’t tell because both of you were love struck. Remember the first time he introduced you to us?” He was so excited that day..” Lay reminisced.
“Yes .. I remember how silly he acted that day. He bumped into that vase over there and broke it and I had to fix it for you guys later.”
“Yeah.. and then he tried to ..” Lay was talking when you suddenly jumped up.
“Oh my goodness gracious. I’m the worst girl friend ever,” your hands were shaking and your heart sinking slowly.
“Why?” Lay asked.
“Today is our one year anniversary Lay!” you whispered. “Where is Tao? I need him.”
“He hasn’t left his room since this morning,” Lay replied.
“Taooooo!! Taoooo,” you called while running towards his room. He had left the door open. You stormed inside dramatically. Tao was playing PS4.
“What? “he asked grumpily. You didn’t know what to say next. You weren’t sure if he remembered or not. It was a tricky situation.
“Why haven’t you left your room all day,” you asked.
“Didn’t feel like it,” he replied briefly.
“So…. Do you want to go out for dinner or something?” you asked.
“Not in the mood.” – There he had said it. You now knew that he was mad at you. Tao never turned you down like that. He was clearly mad at you.
“I’m sorry,” you said hurriedly and walked behind him.
“It’s okay. Doesn’t matter anymore anyways.”
“It does. It does to me,” you placed your hand on his shoulder.
“If it did you wouldn’t forget so easily,” he said angrily pushing you away. You were taken aback. You sat down on his bed not knowing what to say anymore. You had really hurt him and it didn’t really help with your situation since you always struggled with telling him how you really felt.
Tao stood quiet for a few minutes regretting his hasty actions. He sat down next to you and held your hand hoping you would say something.
“I’m sorry,” you apologized once again. “I’m sorry that I suck at this. I’m sorry that I’m such a bad girlfriend.”
“You’re not,” he pulled you into a hug and kissed you on your temple. “I just wish you wouldn’t ignore me when you’re around…you know.. Yixing Ge.”
You began to think about all the times Lay was around and you ignored Tao. Yesterday was not the first time. You did not mean to do that but being in a relationship was something new to you. Tao was more of the attached type while you barely ever showed any emotions. He needed that sense of security. You had been hurting him unintentionally and on top of that you forgot your own first anniversary. Girls never forget that.
“I ruin everything don’t I?” you asked.
“You don’t,” he denied your claim.
“I do. Don’t be nice to me. You should be mad at me if anything.”
“How can I ever be mad at you?,” he hugged you even more tightly.
“ I promise never to do this again,” you said in tears.
“Huh..? then how will I love you more every day?” he asked. He wiped your tears and kissed you again. “Don’t cry please. It hurts me.”
“Taooo,” you pushed him back. He chuckled. “I love you ________.”
“I love you too. Thank you so much for being my sweet heart,” you winked. “Now lets go out for dinner? I’m hungry.”
“Don’t you have to help Yixing Ge?” Tao asked.
“He can wait,” you smirked. “Now let’s go,” you pulled him out of the door. The more enthusiasm you showed the more Tao loved it.
