Chereads / Gem of Scars / Chapter 10 - CHAPTER 9

Chapter 10 - CHAPTER 9

I never thought that I am going to see the insides of Dylan's apartment this soon… but who am I kidding? We literally kiss, no scratch that… That is not a kiss, that is making out. I am following him while he was busy unlocking his door. When he opened the door there was this fragrant smell in his unit, I am guessing that it is his perfume because I smelled it from him a dozen times. "Hey, is your perfume from Chanel?" I asked because I was so curious, he looked at me like he was so amazed and then nodded "It's the bleu de Chanel perfume" he said then still looked at me like I am a psychic who guessed his perfume. "How did you know?" he asked then continued to walk to his dining table. "Just a guess, I gave my dad this perfume once and he liked it," I said then looked around his unit, it is the same size as Jade's, but it has more space because of fewer things… He is a very clean person. His walls are painted with just white and there is a painting beside the door of his room. "Did you paint that?" I pointed to the nice painting of a beach on his wall. "No, my mom painted it… She likes painting when she does not have work in the law firm." I just nodded then looked sat at his couch, I was amazed that all his dishes were washed, Jade cannot even wash her own plates because she is so busy studying, but sometimes she is on her phone for hours and I do not even know who she is talking with. "Hey, we should order something to eat, because it is late and I do not have the energy to cook for you," he said then sat beside me, he had the audacity to rest his head on my shoulder. "Let's order McDonald's, I really like their chicken and their fries" I demanded then looked at him with my puppy eyes. He nodded then ordered what we both want, I took out my books to study and he promised to help me with Neuroscience, after all… This man drives me crazy. We kept studying for I do not know how many minutes, until the delivery rider calls Dylan and said that he is in the lobby and he needs permission to go up. Dylan being the nice man just went down to get our food and I laid down on his black leather sofa, I just stared at the ceiling and waited for him to come back, I laid at my side and I suddenly felt sleepy. I think I fell asleep because I was woken up by someone putting a blanket on top of me, I slightly opened my eyes and saw Dylan fixing the blanket. I closed my eyes again because I was still sleepy.

I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing, telling me that someone's calling. I reached for it in the coffee table of Dylan and saw that Jade is calling.

"Hello?"

"Where are you? I keep on texting you earlier and you're not answering!" she said, and she sounds so worried.

"I'm here at Dylan's unit, we studied together earlier, and I think I fell asleep."

"Just studied? Hmm?" she asked, and I rolled my eyes as she sees me.

"Shut up, where are you? Are you at your unit?"

"Nope, I am on my way home, just knowing your whereabouts." She said and then bid goodbye to concentrate on driving.

"Is that your sister?" Dylan said, and I screamed. I was shocked that my phone fell on the ground because this man right here chose to talk to me while wearing nothing but just his white towel. My lips parted as I stared at his body, how can a man be so perfect like he was sculpted by God? He is still looking at me like waiting for my answer when he realized what distracted me, he smirked and walked towards me slowly, like he wants me to be in pain and wait for him more. I averted my gaze and he laughed. "Wear clothes, Dylan! For god's sake!" and he laughed harder. This guy is shit. Fine, I will get dress! Stop averting your eyes because my body is nice, and you were drooling earlier while looking at this. "Shut up! And get dress! You're so full of yourself." I shouted then looked at him again, he just laughed and turned his back, I saw a tattoo on his back… It is just a small one, but it caught my eye, boys like Dylan always attract me. The type that is like a happy-go-lucky type but then there is something inside them, like a fire that ignites, and it suddenly burns you with its hotness. He came out of his room wearing khaki shorts and a white shirt. My lips parted again when he came out of the room.

Damn. This guy's body really attracts me, but his attitude is the one that got me, he made me feel respected and validated. "So, you want to eat? You were asleep when I went back, and I do not want to wake you. I took a shower then was supposed to wake you up but here you are." I laughed at his remark. "Aww, you really cared for me, how sweet." I sarcastically said then laughed again, he rolled his eyes and served the food at the table and reheat the soup that was included in our order. My eyes immediately caught the chicken fillet that looks so crunchy and the gravy that is beside it looks so appetizing. My stomach growled loudly which made Dylan stare at me, what the hell is wrong with my stomach. I felt my cheeks blushed and I averted my stare from Dylan. "I know you're hungry, but I did not know that you're this hungry." He mocked me then laughed. I rolled my eyes and then made face.

"I know, the food is yummy… But I think you're much yummier" I said then realized that I made a mistake that showed Dylan's smirk.
