Chereads / The Blue Eyed Adonis / Chapter 10 - Flummoxed

Chapter 10 - Flummoxed

As I hurried to my room, I made a mental note not to make any move that would humiliate me again especially now that I know that I have a piece of knowledge about the cameras.

I felt my face heat up again as I remembered the scene in Blue's office just a while ago. God, it was so humiliating. And the bastard, why did he keep that record and make fun of me?

My head tilt up as I entered. I scanned the ceiling looking for the camera that revealed me. Ugh. But where is it? I turned while looking up.

"Where is it?" I asked myself.

"Looking for something?" I jumped up when I heard his voice.

I saw him leaning against the door with his arms crossed. I noticed that he has already removed his suit and his long-sleeved polo was halfway unbuttoned.

"Ah..I-" I cleared my throat. "I was just exercising my neck." I lied.

But seeing his lips flickered a smile, I know he didn't buy it. "By the way, don't you know how to knock?" I diverted the topic so as not to put me on the edge again. Duh, why does he always win?

He made his way towards the bed and lay there with both of his elbows supporting his weight against it. The movement caused his unbuttoned polo to reveal his chiseled chest. "Why should I knock?" He said, casting a smile full of mischief.

"Well, I need privacy," I answered.

He chuckled. "I don't think there's something you have to hide from me. Besides," he paused and smiled. "I've seen it all."

"But still. You have to respect it."

"Okay." He chuckled and stood up. He headed to the door beside the bathroom. I don't really know what's that door for, I guess I'll figure it out now. "But I can't promise it." He said and opened the door.

"Wait, is that your room?" I asked upon seeing what's behind the mystery door.

"Yeah." He answered. "Want to look?"

"Uh, no. I just want to ask why there's a door joining my room to yours."

"It's because it's for easy access whenever I need you." He said.

"Uh. Okay." I said.

"We'll be having dinner in a moment so be ready." He said and left with a smile.

I rolled my eyes and went straight to shower. When I finished the shower it's the moment when I realized that I forgot my towel.

Damn you, Darryl! I snapped my forehead. I snatched the face towel and cover my private parts because I don't want that camera recording me running around my room naked! Why does he have to put up a camera in my room?

Well, that camera has been installed even before I came here. I reminded myself.

But it's so unfair on my part, isn't it?

I rolled my eyes. You're going crazy Darryl.

When I went out of the bathroom, I almost dropped the towel when I saw Blue lying in my bed. "What are you doing here?" I asked with a voice raised higher than normal.

He looked at me and almost immediately, a smile formed in the corner of his lips. And goodness, those blue eyes were fixed on me with wanton. It's full of desire.

"Well, I just mentioned it a moment ago. I need my privacy so will you please go out?" I said and turned around.

I feel awkward with him staring at me especially since the only cover that I have are the two face towels knotted together.

I hurried on my closet only to be pulled away from it and get engulfed inside his strong arms. I felt him nuzzled against my neck and I shivered. "Blue, let go." I snapped at him.

"Now why would I do that when this feels good?" He said huskily against my ear and my damn body responded immediately shivering under his warmth.

"Look. I have to get dressed so we could have our dinner. Now, please let me go." I said as I struggled out of his embrace which was so hard when both of my hands were holding the godforsaken face towels covering my private parts.

"Hmm. I don't think I'm hungry for food." He said and snuggled closer closing the gap between our lower extremities. Since he was wearing sweat pants, the bulge in between his legs is so palpable and the worst is that I felt it pulsating against my bum.

And that contact just turn some of my body parts to jelly and some to steel. Aaaaarrrggggghhhh Darryl, don't humiliate yourself again!

"Well, I am actually starving so please let me go." I lied. I can't take him seeing me in this state.

He chuckled. "Well, I can't let you starve." He said and planted small kisses on my shoulder and for a final blow, he nibbled my ear lobe which sent my insides spiraling.

He let me turn to face him. His face was portraying the serious facade and his eyes were still full of want. But that dissolved quickly.

He ran his fingers into his hair. Since his shirt is tight and short-sleeved, I could see it hugging his body. His muscles wherein their rightful places. And most of all, his armpit is so seductive. Damn. I looked away and reached for my closet.

"I wonder why you always do this?" I said as I covered myself with the robe. "Why don't you find a girl?" I asked.

I heard him sigh. "I cannot do that." He answered.

I turned to face him. "Why is it so hard? There are plenty of girls flocking around you just to get your attention, that is just so easy as a wink." I said.

His gaze fixed on me. I cannot fathom what's his eyes were saying. "I don't care how many people need my attention because there is only one I'm willing to give it whole for."

"Then give it," I said.

"I just did." He said.

My face turned crimson. Shit. I turned with my back on him, pretending to choose clothes to wear.

"I'm talking about a girl," I said, inhaling as my chest tightened. Damn.

"I cannot just teach my heart who to fall for." He said and walked to the door. "I'll be waiting at the dining room." He said and closed the door after him.

...

When I entered the dining room, I found Blue talking with someone on the phone. He was smiling. "Wow, congrats bro!" He said. "Well then send my regards to Dean."

When he saw me, he motioned me to sit down without taking the phone away from his ear and most of all that smile on his lips. Only, it is not for me.

Hush! Why am I thinking this way? Ugh. I rolled my eyes.

Then his chuckle reverberated the room that caused me to look up to him.

"You're cute when you're doing that." He said.

"Ugh. Forgive me. I didn't mean to roll my eyes."

"Darryl, didn't you hear me? I said, it's cute so why do you have to say sorry?" He said.

"Uh, okay." I just answered, lost with what to say.

"Don't you really love me anymore?" He asked, breaking the silence that lingered between us.

But I almost choked with it. Does he really have to ask that now? Ugh.

I just hope that in moments like this, I am Siri and I could just say 'I'm sorry but I'm not allowed to answer that.' But unfortunately, I am not.

I sighed. I shook my head without looking at him because my eyes will betray me for sure.

"What should I do to make you fall with me again?" he asked that appalled me.

I just watched at him in awe and glad that he never let me answer because he stood. "Are you done?" He asked.

I nodded.

"Good. Let's watch a movie." He said.

"What? As in now?" I asked.

"Yes." He said.

"But, I have to change to different clothes."

"Your clothes are fine. We're not going out anyway."

I raised my brow.

"Just follow me okay." He said and so I did.

We arrived at the entertainment room. Gosh, I never thought he has something like this inside his house. Well of course he has, what am I thinking?

The room is soundproof and installed with comfy couches. In the front was a plasma screen huge enough to make life-size portrait of two families.

"What do you want to watch?" He asked.

"Anything." I shrugged.

"How about this horror movie that they were all talking about?" He asked.

"Sure," I said. I really don't care what he chooses. I'm not in the mood anyway.

"Okay." He said and turned off the lights.

Wait. He didn't say horror right?

We sat down and muttered something. Automatically, the movie started. Just then I realized that it was voice-activated.

What the? My nose is going to bleed with the technology in this house.. First with the cameras, which are so minute that I can't find any of them.

We were seated with a reasonable distance between us by the way. And the title rolled.

The Conjuring.

What? Since the room is equipped with a surround system, the sound effects are very clear and precise making the experience mind-blowing.

I squirmed at my seat every time the sound effects rise. Shit! Why didn't I choose the movie? I could've just chosen a love story.

Too late for that now. My eyes are fixed on the screen and as I anticipate for the next attack, my heart palpitates. Shit!

I screamed like a child. And I realized it. Shit! Shit! That is so humiliating. I turned my face to see if Blue had noticed and where the f* is he?

I looked again and could not find him. This is not good.

Just then I heard somebody clap. Shit!

"Blue!" I snapped. "This is not good. Don't play with me." I said, horrified.

Then I heard another clap and this time it's beside my ears. Damn! I was sweating heavily.

Then I felt somebody poking me that caused me to literally jump from the couch and just then the scene on the screen was when the mother has been possessed after she awakened from her sleep. And the face of the ghost or whatever was so gross that I screamed with it.

Then I was pulled and engulfed in strong arms. But I could feel him laughing. Damn!

I pushed him. "I hate you." I snapped and walked out of the room. I heard him laugh harder.

UGh. He is so childish! Aaaarrgghh...

I slammed my door and head straight to my room. Then I heard his voice behind it. "Look, I'm sorry okay. I didn't mean to scare you. I was just joking."

"Well, it's not a good joke!" I snapped back.

"May I come in?" He asked.

"No!"

"Okay. If you need me I'm just in my room."

And silence.

Shit! I remember the scenes in the movie.

Gosh.

I dove in my bed and covered myself. But the silence. Aaarrgghhh. Damn that movie. I took my phone and played a song.

I put it beside the lampshade and I regretted it. I saw a clock. Though it's hello kitty, I can't help myself not to think about what will happen if it turns to 3:07? Shit!

I looked away from it and wrong direction. My gaze landed on the closet and in an instant I remembered the scene that a hand came out of the closet, clapping. Ugh.

I covered myself. But I cannot help but anticipate that someone out there might pull my leg away. Aaaarrrgghhh.. I can't stand it!

BLUE'S PERSPECTIVE

I recalled the happenings of our evening. From pissed off Darryl-god, he was so cute when angry. Well, when didn't I find him cute? I chuckled.

Then there was the time when I asked him if he really had no feelings for me anymore. He says no yet he's so obvious, he still loves me. Why is he suppressing his feelings toward me?

And there was the time when I saw him almost naked again and damn, I almost dove at him and claimed him mine. But I just can't jump to that, can I?

Anyhow, I'm gonna see to it that he'll be mine. I just have to make him realize that.

I really am jealous of Grey right now. Dean has accepted his proposal. They're sealing it. Though they had been living together for years now, my twin really has to seal it. Damn him for being so lucky.

I chuckled at the thought.

A knock on the door called my attention. "Come in."

He peeked at first. His shyness engulfed his face. Oh Darryl, why are you tormenting me?

"C-can I" He cleared his throat. "Can I sleep here? Just for tonight. I really-"

"Sure. I'd be glad to have you beside me." I said, a smile forming in the corners of my mouth.
