Eyes Full Of Love

By Your Side

Evan  walked behind Dylan as he was taking pictures of Sunnee. "Look at the camera as if you're looking at the man you love."  Dylan said. He stood behind his boss as he watched her. She smiled shyly at first. Then, as she turned to his direction, she smiled lovingly. They say that when a woman's in love, it would show with the way she smiles. At that moment, with her smile, it shows that she is in love. Was she looking at him? 

 

He became flustered as she looked up. Evan immediately lowered his head to hid the pink tints in his cheek. "Maybe it's just for the camera... come on, Evan. Don't think too much..." he scolded himself silently. He looked up, and saw her smiling. He doesn't know why, but that smile meant everything for him. She meant everything to him. The moment he first saw her, he knew she was different. She caught his attention with his feisty attitude. She's unlike oher girls, who are acting cute. She's simply... her. He then realized he fell in love with her because she's different from the other girls he's been with.

 

That's why he's making a lot of effort to get to know her and to spend more time with her. He wanted to take things slowly, and get to know her. And maybe, when the time is right, he can confess what he feels for her. Evan met Sunnee's gaze, and he found himself smiling at her. He just wished that her smile is for him as well, and not for the camera.

 

Xuan Yi looked at Sunnee, then she turned her attention to Evan. There he is, gazing at her with love once again. A smile in her lips slowly faded, and the happy expression on her face turned into a sad one. "He really likes Sunnee..." she thought defeatedly. How many time have Xuan Yi tried to get Evan's attention? Once? Twice? But in the end, his eyes are always locked onto one person - her office best friend. 

 

She hugged her clipboard as she let out a sigh. She wonders, when will Evan look at her, the way she looks at Sunnee. Sometimes, she feels jealous of her, because Evan always notices her. But she always said to herself that Sunnee is her friend, and that she don't have to be jealous. If she work hard enough, Evan will be able to see her too. And she's willing to wait until that day.

 

Sunnee looked at Dylan, and smiled at him lovingly. Her heart beats fast, scared that Dylan will see through her. But then, she began to relaxed as he smiled at her. "He did say look at the man I love. I'm looking at him right now..." she told herself. With each click of the camera, she find herself smiling even more. "I love your smile, Sunnee..." she heard him say. She couldn't help but smile again. She felt like a giddy school girl falling in love for the first time. She never felt this way, not even with her ex-boyfriends. He made her smile happily simply by saying those five words. 

 

"All right, I think we got everything. Sunnee, would you like to take a look?" Dylan said. She walked towards him. He showed her the pictures he took, but her attention was not on the pictures, but at the handsome man standing beside her. "What do you think?" he asked. She looked at the picture on the camera, and saw the picture he took after he told her he love her smile. "I like this one." she said. Dylan smiled at him. "I think this smile of yours is the most beautiful." he told her. This made her blush. 

 

"I... I think we got everything. If there's a need to reshoot, then let's try to find another short haired girl. I'm not really comfortable being a model." Sunnee said awkwardly. Dylan nodded his head. Then, he turned to Xuan Yi. "Xuan Yi, try to contact the model's agency and find out what happened to her. I don't what this to happen again, OK?" Dylan said. Xuan Yi nodded her head. "Yes, Chief." she said.

 

Dylan turned to Sunnee, and pinched her cheek. Then, he patted her head. "Thank you for your hard work today." Dylan said. Sunnee smiled at him. "Thank you, Chief." she said. "And, you look really pretty today." Dylan said. After that, he handed the camera to her. He waved goodbye, and soon, he and Evan were gone. His words still linger to her. She couldn't help but smile to herself as she watched him leave. Then, she felt someone jump to her and hug her. It was Xuan Yi.

 

"Sunnee! Thank you! You're such a lifesaver!" she said. Sunnee smiled at her. "You owe me a big lunch." she said. Xuan Yi gve her a thumbs up as she nodded her head.

It was night time an Sunee is still at the office to edit the photos. Her phone rang, and when she looked at its screen, she saw it was her brother calling her. "Ge..." she answered the phone. "Where are you? Are you still at the office?"

"Yes, ge. I still have a lot of work to do. Don't wait up for me."

"Are you sure? Don't stay up too late..."

"I'm going to be OK, ge. Don't worry about me.

"All right. Take care on your way home, OK?"

"I will. Thanks, ge. Good night."

"Night."

 

She ended the call, and then went back to work. Just then, she heard someone walking around the office. She looked around, but she knew she was all alone. "Is there a ghost here?" she thought. The steps become louder, as if it' coming nearer towards her. Then, she saw a tall shadow before her. She closed her eyes, not wanting to see the ghost before her. And then, there was light.

 

"Sunnee, why are you still here?" 

 

Sunnee slowly opened her eyes, and saw Dylan walking up to her. Unlike ordinary working days where he wear a suit and tie, he was in jeans, t-shirt and hoodie. "C-Chief... I mean, Dylan... why are you here?" she stuttered. Dylan let out a laugh. "Did I scare you? You thought I was a ghost, didn't you?" he said. Sunnee let out a pout,. "Don't scare me like that." she said. She stared at him, and then she let out a smile. "He never changed... scaring me at night and laughing like this..." she thought.

 

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you like that. I forgot a document at my office, so I came back to retrieve it. I didn't know you'd stay up late here." he said. With that, Sunnee let out a sigh. "I was working on the photos that needed to be uploaded by tomorrow."

"How was it?"

"I'm almost there... around 95%"

"I'll just get the documents I need. wait for me here."

 

Sunnee was confused at what he said. She continued to finish her work, and once she's done, Dylan got out of his office. "Ready?" he asked. "I'm about to go. What do you mean?" she asked. Dylan let out a boyish smile at him. "Let's have diner first before you go home. As my thanks for being my model and muse a while ago." he said. 

 

There were pink tints on her cheeks as he said that. "Fluffy bear, are you asking me out on a date?" she asked in a cutesy voice. Dylan let out a laugh. "I promised a little pineapple before that we'll have coffee someday. I just upgraded it and asked her for a dinner instead. Will Little Pineapple go out with Big Fluffy Bear?" he asked as he gave her puppy eyes. Sunnee let out a smile. "Little Pineapple said she'd love to have a date with Big Fluffy Bear." she said. 

 

Dylan let out a laugh. She made sure she saved all of her work in her computer, and then stood up from her desk. It was then that Dylan held her hand. "I'll bring you to the best restaurant in the world." he told her. "I'm expecting a tasty meal, Fluffy Bear." she said. Then, they left the office.

Dylan pulled up at an old restaurant just outside the night market. "Here we are!" Dylan said. Sunnee looked outside, and saw they were in front of her favorite restaurant. "Fluffy Bear, I don't remember telling you my favorite restaurant." she said. "But you did said you love lobster and shrimps. Also, this is my favorite restaurant too." he said. Sunnee gave him a dubious look. "You are a stalker." he said. Dylan smiled at her. "A handsome stalker." he said. Sunnee just let out a laugh.

 

They got out of the car, and went inside the restaurant. The boss (A/N: Boss played by Jiro Wang)  was there, busily taking orders from the customers. The moment he saw Sunnee and Dylan together, his face lightened up. "Feng Li? Is that you?" he asked. Then, he turned to Dylan. "Aiya, I didn't know you're with Dylan. Come in, have a seat at that booth." he said. As they seated, Dylan gave her a confused look, "Feng Li?"

"That's what my dad's endearment to me. You know, when he was still alive, he would always bring me and Aaron ge here to have a sumptuous meal."

"Oh, so that's why you're called Little Pineapple..."

"Yup. Also, because I love pineapple cake, pineapple upside down cake, pineapple fried rice, pineapple juice..."

 

Dylan let out a laugh. "Just kidding. Although I love pineapple, dad says he calls me Feng Li because I'm as sweet as a pineapple cake and I bring him luck, also because I love pineapple cake." she said. "Your dad must have really loved you..." he said. Sunnee nodded her head. Just then, the boss came out with a tray of food. "Lao Ban, we have not ordered yet..." Dylan said. "Aiya, no need to order. I know exactly what Feng Li likes. Pineapple fried rice, buttered shrimps and roast pork bun. Now, what do you want to order?" the boss asked him. Dylan could only scratch his head. 

 

"Da Dong Lao Ban, he'll have char sui pork and beef fried rice." Sunnee said. The boss nodded his head before leaving them too. "How did you know I like char sui pork and fried noodles?" he asked. "Simple, it's one of their best seller here. Since you like this restaurant, you must like their best seller here." she said. Dylan laughed. What she didn't tell him is that she always remember that those was his favorite. Sometimes, she would come to this restaurant and order the same things that he like whenever he miss him.

 

Jiro came back with Dylan's order and served it to him. "Feng Li ah, It's been a long time since you came back here." he told her. "Da Dong Lao Ban, I'm sorry I've been busy with work lately. But I promise, I'll visit you often now." she said. "You should. You know, I miss seeing you and your brother together. I remember when Da Ge  was still alive, you come here weekly." he said. He let out a sigh as his expression turned into sad one. "I miss Da Ge... if he's here he'll ask me to poison your date." Jiro said.

 

Upon hearing that, Dylan choked on his food and coughed. She couldn't help but laugh. "Aiya, maybe you're the reason why Zong Lin doesn't want to come back here to treat me. What did you and dad did to him?" she asked. "Added a lot of chili powder on his food. Your dad couldn't help it. He need to test that man if he is up to his standard to date her only princess." Jiro said. "And Eric?" she queried again. "Chili powder too." the boss said. 

 

Then, Sunnee looked worriedly at Dylan. "Da Dong Lao Ban... you didn't..." 

"Chili powder?"

"You did not!"

 

Jiro just stared at her, then at Dylan, then back to her. "Of course not! Why would I do that? Dylan's a regular here too. I would not do that to him. Unless he's your new boyfriend." Jiro said. Again, Dylan choked on his food and let out a cough. Sunnee was so embarrassed with what Jiro said. "Da Dong Lao Ban, Dylan's my boss!" she said in an embarrassed tone. Dylan laughed the moment that he can. "Don't worry Da Dong Lao Ban, I'll let you know if Sunnee have a new boyfriend." he said. The two men gave each other a high five. "Then, I shall stock up on chili powder while I wait for that day." Jiro said before leaving the two.

 

"So, you brought two boyfriends here, huh?" Dylan . "I was once young, in love and stupid. How about you? How many girlfriends have you had?" she asked. "I had three serious girlfriends before. The rest are flings." he said. Sunnee was surprised at what he said. "Wow, I didn't know you were a playboy, Chief." she said. "I was focused in my studies and running the company, so I had no time for a serious relationship."

"But would you consider being in another relationship again? A serious one."

"As long as I really like the girl... and the Chairwoman approves of the girl. How about you? Why didn't you have another relationship after the last one?"

"I don't want to commit to someone unless I know he's the one I'm going to spend the rest of my life with."

"So that's why you remain single?"

"Yup. Also, my brother should approve of him."

"What if your brother wouldn't like your next boyfriend?"

 

Sunnee paused to think for a while. "Well, if that happens to me, I will do my best so that my brother will like my boyfriend. If they still won't like each other, then I'll listen to my brother." 

"Even if you really love the guy?" 

"It's easier to find a new love, but finding a new family would be a hard one. How about you? What will you do if the chairwoman will not like your girlfriend."

"That would depend on how much I love the girl. If I really love her, then I'm willing to turn my back on everything I have now to be with her. I'd rather be poor and be with the girl I love, than have all the wealth and power in the world and regret letting go of the only girl I love."

 

With that, Sunnee let out a smile. She wished she's worthy enough for Dylan to fight for her. But most of all, she wished Dylan feels the same way as her so that she could be worthy of him. "Your next girlfriend is lucky to have such a romantic boyfriend." she said. Dylan just shrugged his shoulder. "But I just hope she would understand the kind of job I have, my priorities. Girls I dated before likes to be too clingy and demands a lot of time from me." he said. "Don't worry, I will always understand you..." she thought.

 

"Why are we talking about relationships anyway?" Dylan asked. "Who started asking me about my ex-boyfriends?" she asked. Dylan let out a laugh. They continued to eat their food while talking about anything under the sun. Once they finished all their food, Dylan called on the boss to pay for their dinner. "Da Dong Lao Ban, the bill please!" Dylan said. Jiro walked up to them. "No need to pay. This is my treat." he said as he eyed Sunnee. "After all It's Feng Li's birthday tomorrow." he added.

 

Dylan was surprised at what he said. "It's your birthday tomorrow?" he asked. Sunnee nodded her head. "I didn't know!" Dylan said. Jiro shook his head. "This kid does not like to celebrate her birthday. That's why every year, she would come here with her brother, and Da... Ge..." he said. Then, Jiro let out a loud cry. Sunnee stood up to console him. "Da Dong Lao Ban, don't cry. I miss dad too... Let's just be happy because my birthday's going to be in a few hours, OK?" she said. Jiro nodded his head and wiped his tears.

 

"Anyway, Da Dong Lao Ban, thank you for the treat today. I promise to visit you often." Sunnee told him. Jiro just sniffed as he cried. "Then you have to keep your promise, Feng Li." he said as he patted her head. Sunnee nodded her head.

As they got out of the restaurant, Dylan looked at his watch. "Hey, you don't have to go home right away, right?' he asked. Sunnee gave him a confused look. "Well, I guess so." she said. He smiled as he took her hand. "Then, ;et's go somewhere." he said. Sunnee looked at his hand, and then into his face. Then, she let out a smile.
