"Perhaps, it was a bad idea coming here" was the first thought that crossed Jasper's mind when he walked into the large shower room with twelve stark naked guys currently washing.
"T-this .." He was tongue-tied, was community showers still a thing?
The shower room was just one big tiled room with multiple shower heads mounted to the wall.
There were no individual stalls, with doors or curtains for privacy as naked guys all took a shower together with nothing separating one from another.
Even in high school, Jasper never shared the same showers with his mates on the same soccer team. He went to a prestigious school which didn't lack private changing stalls and showers.
Well, what was he expecting from a facility shower? The environment was fairly clean but not plush, he'd survive - this night just keeps getting interesting.
Jasper had stored his changeover clothes and some other items in one of the full-length lockers and didn't worry about carrying the key around since it was a combination lock.
He wore a towel around his waist and for sure his emergence drew attention. The guys who had been joking about something all hushed when they noticed him.
Some of their faces were familiar since he conversed with them earlier, while the rest weren't, but the few he knew were overly nice to talk to - he was grateful no one recognized him as president of Luxury Foods.
He couldn't blame them after all, what would a man of such prestige come here to do?
Jasper didn't have trouble with body-shyness issues but he was a reticent person, yet there was no room for modesty in this situation.
He stripped and hung the towel on the hook attached to the wall opposite the shower heads and began his bath.
The guys resumed their discussion but he could still feel eyes on him as if some creepy dude was checking him out.
Jasper kept his eyes forward, he was physically endowed in all areas - that was undeniable since he made sure of it with his resources - and he loved it but not to the point of being a narcissist.
Sure, he loved the fascination but only when it came from Scarlett and not the dude standing right beside him in the shower.
"You look familiar, have we met before? " The creepy dude started a conversation with him.
Probably on the television, he said mentally.
"I don't think so" Jasper answered him curtly and fixed his eyes to the ceiling hoping to God that he doesn't come up with another question.
But the heavens weren't hearing his prayers tonight.
"That body wash, I've seen that before and I have to say it cost more than what I earn in a month" he laughed, " You must be rich, huh?"
" Sort of, " he said dismissively.
"Mind if I use some?"
"Sure, go ahead " Just don't touch me in inappropriate places.
"The scent's nice" Creepy dude pointed out as he quashed out a handful from the plastic bottle.
Jasper sighed, grabbed the hand wand showerhead, and directed it to his body as he rinsed off the soapsuds on his body, took his towel off from the hook, and was good to go.
"Hey, you're done already?" The creepy guy was surprised.
"Yeah" He replied politely.
"What about your body wash? " He shook the container to emphasize his point.
"You can keep or discard it, your choice," He told him and took his leave. Thanks to his lascivious stare, jasper barely luxuriated in the shower.
No one was in the locker room but he didn't take his time and dressed up as quick as he could, minimizing the chances of meeting that creepy guy.
Jasper had just come out of the room when he picked up a scream. Normally, he would have called for help since it was coming from the lady's locker room which was opposite the men's, to prevent being labeled a perv.
But that voice undoubtedly belonged to Scarlett and before he knew it, he stormed into the room.
Gladly, no lady was around but he couldn't find Scarlett in the locker room and knew she was in the bathroom then.
Truth be told, Jasper had an inkling but he was unprepared for the sight before him; Scarlett in her naked glory.
He gulped, in a situation like this, he would have looked away as a gentleman but not when she was whimpering in pain.
Jasper reached out and grabbed the towel off the hook, wrapping it around her.
"W-who….Jasper ?"
Scarlett was scared, confused, and embarrassed at first when she felt big, calloused, male hands around her body but that scent was undoubtedly his, so she calmed down.
"What's going on here?" He asked.
"I got soap into my eyes " Ahe explained just as Jasper took in her appearance.
Her hair was wet and full of foams alongside her face while she squeezed her eyes shut.
Jasper got a boner, like which guy wouldn't in a setting like this: The girl of your dreams wrapped in nothing but a towel that reaches midthigh with your bodies pressed together and her eyes closed while she keeps on talking with that kissable lips of hers.
"The water just stopped running and I tried… .. "
Scarlett who was oblivious to the changes in his body kept talking.
But the person in question called Jasper, took off his blazer intending to cover her body where the towel couldn't when a boom came from behind.
"I knew it !"Someone roared.
Just as he turned around, a heavy punch met his nose - again.
