Chapter 127 - One Hundred And Twenty-seven : Who Has Sexy Chest? (2/2)
”What the… ” I faltered when my eyes rested on the skin of her back where the polo shirt had not been able to cover, there was a breakout of rashes there.
”Oh my God.” I gasped in shock, then tapped her again but she moaned tiredly and went back to sleep.
That serously couldn't be chicken pox.
Instantly, I forgot the main reason why I had to come up here in the first place and rushed down to get Eden. But I couldn't find him in the living room as expected.
” Where's is - ”
”He is in his room” Mrs.El answered, having surmised I was searching for him.
I muttered a ”thank-you” to her and located his room which was on the floor level with ease.
Perhaps, due to the fact that I was panicking, I totally forgot the courtesy action of knocking before entering. I tried the doorknob and hurried into his room but my jaw dropped open at the sight that welcomed me.
Eden was clad in nothing but a white towel wrapped around his waist exposing his toned flat stomach, his skin was flushed from the shower.
His wet hair plastered to his skull while my throat dried up when I saw water dripping from his hair, drop on his chest, and join other smaller droplets before trailing down to the deep V of his abdomen, soaking into his loosely wrapped towel.
He too was shocked to see my abrupt appearance but he recovered from his daze faster than I did.
”You could have joined me in the shower if you were that interested” Eden flirted, ” I wouldn't have minded anyway ”
His comment aroused me from my reverie and I blinked, just to be sure I was seeing right. Damn, I wasn't a pervert.
I turned away at once with a blush staining my cheeks, my eyes had seen what it can't unsee.
”I'm sorry for barging into your room” I apologized with my back turned to him.
Gosh, if this was still the olden days, I would have to take responsibility for him.
Why can't you be a reserved young lady for once, Maya? I scolded myself internally.
”You can go ahead and dress-up. I promise you, I won't look ” I promised him.
”What if I want you to look? ”
Perhaps, he intended that to sound romantic but to me, it sounded lewd. To hell with decency!
I turned around and faced him with a questioning look, ”Why would I want to watch you dress up? Do I look like a pervert? ”
Eden's mouth opened and closed, he was definitely tongue-tied.
What was he expecting anyway? That I would be in awe of his sexy abdominal packs?
No, that is not what the point! Sexy abs or not, the point is that I have developed an immunity to good looks so he should stop seducing me with that - by the way, He and Niklaus who have more six-pack abdomen?
”You sure you aren't? Else, why would you be staring at my chest that way? ” he fired at me.
Ouch, I've been caught.
”Staring at what !” I denied his accusation with a straight face, ”Your chest isn't that sexy by the way, I've seen countless better ones ”
”Really” His eyes twinkled, ”Then you must know what happens after you ogle a guy's chest in an enclosed room ” He began to step towards me while I took corresponding steps back.
What have I gotten myself into? Maya, this mouth of yours would lead you into trouble one day!
”What do you think you're doing?” I breathed raggedly.
”What do you think I'm doing? ” He pressed forward, a mischievous smirk on his face.
Of course, I knew this scene vividly well, how wouldn't I? A romantic like me? He would continue approaching me until my back hits the wall, then he would place both hands on either side of the wall trapping me and then, one thing would lead to the other and we would start kissing.
I rolled my eyes internally, what a lousy plan Eden. Does he think I have learned nothing from dating the mischievous Niklaus all this time?
Discovering I was about to be trapped, I put up a hand against his chest to stop him from moving further but withdrew it from shock when I realized what I was touching.
Unfortunately, my unruly hands somehow hit his loosely wrapped towel which fell to the ground right before my eyes.
I need holy water to cleanse my eyes….ahh!
