"Give me the bags and go back to your place."
Darren looked at the bags of grocery in his hands and then at her. They were standing at Xiu's door when she demanded to take the bags from his hands.
"Why? I'll take it inside." He was ever so willing to help. How could he let her take these heavy bags on her own?
Xiu snatched the bags from his hands saying, "And then you won't come out." Darren looked around when she continued, "As if I can't read through your schemes. I told you it's a private dinner. You're not allowed to join."
Darren pouted trying to look adorably at her, "Sweets, Cali is my friend. Why can't I join the dinner along with her?"
"How will we talk about you right before you?" retorted Xiu. "That's not how it works."
