Imperfect Desires

Chapter 108 His Sweets & His Didi



108 His Sweets & His Didi

Both Xiu and Dylan had one thing in common, they both were stubborn and both had a bug called childishness. Dylan was possessive about his cars while Xiu never liked someone talking about her character. Even as they sat before the police officer in the police station, both of them had turned their backs to each other without uttering a word.

They were still acting like those kids who loved throwing tantrums.

"Tell me your name and social security number," the police officer asked looking at them both. Although they were reluctant but they both had to tell their names. "Now, give me the details for why did you both fight?"

"I told you that she broke my car," said Dylan.

"And I also told you he started it," Xiu jutted in.

"I heard you both but I'm not sure what to say at all. There has to be a reason why she broke your car and there must be something he said to start it. But both of you are keeping a mum over this," the police officer was tired asking the same thing over and over again but it was like a dead end. They both didn't plan on saying anything at all.

The police officer sighed heavily as he looked at them again and said, "Can you call someone to come? I won't let you both leave unless someone comes to take you both."

"Can I have my phone then?" asked Xiu and the police officer gave her phone.

"She broke my phone so I'll have to use your phone," said Dylan and didn't forget to remind everyone that Xiu had broken his phone along with his car.

Xiu first dialed Nora's number but disconnected it. If she called Nora, the latter would tell her parents and this small matter would blow up. Xiu thought about who else to call and settled with Darren. After all, a boyfriend should be responsible for her at this time.

However, she was still hesitant. Calling Darren to the police station and that too on their first day of dating seemed really weird. But there was no one else in her friend's list who could come to take her. Urgh! After ruffling her hair in annoyance, she finally dialed Darren's number.

Darren picked up at the third ring and Xiu said, "McSpicy, you're still my boyfriend right? Even though I stood you up on our very first date."

Darren frowned at her words and replied, "If you have not decided to break up with me then definitely, I'm your boyfriend."

"I don't plan on breaking up. I have yet to start my dating. Anyway, I need your help," said Xiu while playing with the button on her blazer.

"Sweets, is everything okay? Where are you? What's wrong? Tell me," Darren's anxious voice made Xiu forget all about Dylan.

"I'm fine. But I made a mess and now, I am at the police station. Can you come here to get me?" Xiu sounded like a cat asking for attention and affection.

"What? Police station? What really happened?" Darren had already changed his shoes as he ran out of his apartment leaving his video conference in the middle. "Are you really okay? Are you hurt anywhere? Give me the address."

Xiu smiled at his reaction and told him the address before adding, "Don't worry and drive safely. I'm alright. Please don't tell Nora about this. I'll explain when you get here."

"Okay, I'll be right there with you. You don't be nervous at all. I'm on my way right now." Darren hung up the call and called his driver to get the car out.

Meanwhile...

"Mr. Qiu, what are you doing? Are you gonna call or not?" The police officer urged Dylan who stood listening to the beep-beep from the receiver.

"I'm trying to call. But seems like my best friend is busy on another call. Let me try again," Dylan replied and dialed Darren's number which was apparently the only number he remembered perfectly. Besides calling his mother would only land him in the field of mines where he'll be roasted like a bloody chicken.

Finally, Dylan's call connected when Darren had just boarded his car and asked his driver to drive him to the police station. When he saw an unknown number flashing on his screen, he didn't want to bother with it but picked up the call at the last ring. "Hello!"

"Dazi, what took you so long?" Dylan's voice made Darren frown.

"Why are you calling me from an unknown number?" Darren asked with a scowl.

"A wild cat broke my phone," Dylan gritted out while he glared at Xiu's back. "Anyways, come and pick me up."

"Can't do. I have to pick my girlfriend." Darren answered straightforwardly making Dylan gape in disbelief.

"Hoel! Yah! Bro, this... dates before mates is not a good policy eh! How can you even abandon your best friend for a girlfriend?" Dylan was literally at the point of exploding now.

"Stop overacting, she's all alone there. And I'm already worried about her. I don't even know the situation at all. Stop bothering me now," Darren was about to hang up.

But Dylan blurted out hastily, "I'm in the police station. Please, don't leave me here alone."

Darren put the phone back against his ear and asked, "Police station? Which police station?"

As Dylan gave him the address, Darren's eyes widened in surprise. Both his girlfriend and best friend were in the same police station. But why? "I'll be right there. Wait for me," said Darren.

"Haha... I knew you won't abandon your mate over a date. Come fast." Darren didn't bother listening to Dylan anymore and disconnected the call. Dylan looked at the questioning look on the police officer's face and said, "My brother will be here soon."

The police officer looked at Xiu and she also informed, "My boyfriend is coming as well."

"Okay," said the police officer and turned to his partner saying, "Keep these two apart. I don't want them to start another catfight here."

Xiu and Dylan scowled unhappily at his words but since the other person was a police officer, they both kept quiet.

However, Darren's mind was running at lightning speed as he realized that his Sweets name was Bai Xiu and the Executive Assistant he chose for Dylan also had the name, Bai Xiu. That could be a coincidence but his Sweets and his Didi being in the same police station? How was he supposed to convince himself that it was also just a coincidence?Please go to
