Chapter 504
Shawn ended up pressing me down after that one sentence I said. It was an experience that both of us enjoyed in the end, but I still felt rather ashamed as I tried out a lot of new positions that I had never attempted in the past. I was too afraid to recall how I had performed in those poses, so I immediately hid under the sheets after we got back to the hut. The man, on the other hand, lazed around outside under the sun.
He came over and lay down beside me when he saw me hiding in the room. I naturally leaned close against his chest as I toyed around with his fingers. "I'm tired. I'm going to take a nap," I said.
"Sure. I'll stay here with you," he offered. I shut my eyes and rested on Shawn's body. When I woke up, I found him in the same position as before. I placed my hand on his cheek as I checked on him. "Have I been sleeping for long? Do you feel numb anywhere?" I asked.
"I'm fine. You slept for less than 30 minutes," he told me. "I'll go back to napping, then," I replied. I was afraid that Shawn would start feeling pins and needles, so I no longer rested on his body. Instead, I turned sideways to curl up in the sheets. I could hear the waves coming from outside. "Did you enjoy yourself earlier?" I asked.
Shawn knew what I was referring to. "That was the peak of my life," he replied. He was getting better and better at sweet-talking. "Do you think your past 27 years were a waste now?" I asked. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
"Nope," he replied flatly. I chuckled. "Why not?"
"I hadn't tried it then, so I had no such desire," he replied. "Are you finally unleashing your true self
now?" I asked.
"You keep getting nastier and nastier," he muttered with a frown. I was the one who felt embarrassed, yet I was also the one who kept engaging in such conversations. I shut my eyes to sleep after he made that comment. It was evening by the time I woke up.
The sunset was dipping below the horizon, and the soft rays of light spilled into the hut. I rested my arms on the windowsill to see Shawn sitting by the walkway and looking out into the distance. Taking in the scenery before my eyes, I watched as his thin white shirt flittered in the wind. There was a bottle of red wine and a glass beside him, and there was still some red wine left in the glass.
I sneakily pulled my phone out and took a video of this scene before sending it to the group. Emma was the first to reply. 'That's gorgeous!'
Amy saw the message as well. 'Shawn is truly flawless. My heart raced for him the first time I saw him. It's a shame that he wasn't just a regular man. Fortunately, I was smarter and wiser than Tracy— otherwise, I would've chased after him for years!'
Tracy was furious. 'Can you shut up, Eve?'
'What a beautiful sight,' Emma replied again. Diego, who rarely ever spoke to Emma, replied to her text with a reminder. 'Control yourself, Emma. Christopher's in the group!'
'I nearly forgot,' Emma replied before deleting the message. Christopher, who had been silent for a while, replied to their messages. 'I saw it,' he said.
Emma did not make a sound after that. I kept my phone away and walked over to Shawn before hooking an arm around his neck. "I showed you off earlier," I said.
"What?" He was puzzled.
"I sent a video of you in the group," I explained.
"Huh," he replied in a nonchalant tone. He never faulted me for anything. I gave him a greedy kiss on his cheek, and he pulled me into his arms before he fed me a sip of red wine. It was sweet and smooth, and it didn't feel too strong at all. Shawn was about to lower his head to kiss me when my phone started ringing. I saw that it was a call from Emma, so I picked it up before pressing the phone to my ear. "What is it? Is Christopher mad at you?"
I could feel Shawn's breath on my face, and I pushed him aside as he was making me ticklish. "Christopher just called me, and he told me to go home immediately. I'm scared," she whined. Emma had just praised someone else's husband in the chat group, so it made sense for her own husband to be mad at her. Furthermore, even though Christopher seemed like a kind and sweet man on the surface, he was actually a really icy man, and he was especially terrifying when he got mad. His temper was triggered whenever his pride was threatened.
"You were the one who added him to the group," I teased.
"Ugh, when I get home, he's probably going to… Well, he's not going to do anything bad, but I'm sure he'll do something memorable," Emma said. What could a man do that would leave the strongest impression on a woman? I posed this question to Shawn after I ended the call, and I told him about what was going on between Emma and Christopher.
Shawn was silent for a while before he replied in a flat tone. "What else?" he said.
"What is it?" I asked again. It took me a while to get to the answer. "Sex," I muttered. Shawn was quiet after that, so I leaned in and kissed him before changing the topic. "What do you want for dinner, Sunny?"
"It's still early. Let's go walk around," Shawn suggested. He wanted to drag me along for a walk, but I didn't want to go back to that place earlier. "I'm hungry," I protested. However, Shawn forcefully dragged me to my feet, so we ended up taking the long, windy walkway down to the beach. Our fingers were intertwined as we walked.
He brought me to the coconut trees we saw earlier, and I saw that seven or eight coconuts were lying around on the ground. I walked over and picked one up to hold it in my arms. "Did you pick these for me, Sunny?"
"You can call me Shawn when there's no one around," he said. "Didn't you want to try drinking one?" I had simply made a passing comment, and he claimed that he couldn't get the coconuts for me then. Also, he was telling me to call him by his name all of a sudden. "Didn't you say that it was rude to call your actual name?"
"I'm fine with it. You can do whatever you want when no one is around," he said. He pulled a knife out and cracked a coconut open for me. I took a sip before trying to push my luck with him. "I want to call you by your name even when there are people around." He completely ignored me, and I figured that I shouldn't push my boundaries. "Did you climb up the tree earlier?" I asked.
…
Christopher glanced at the text messages on his phone screen. Gorgeous… A beautiful sight… My eyes feel sore just looking at this nonsense. Fine; I admit that Shawn is pretty handsome. But I'm just as good-looking as him! On top of that, my skin is flawless, and I don't have any scars on me. I exercise all the time, and I have firm abs. Why doesn't she call me a beautiful sight?! A beautiful sight… The fact that she called him 'beautiful' really hurts me.
"The show is about to start, Mr. Forger," Christopher's assistant said.
"Okay. I need you to book me a flight," Christopher ordered. The assistant was surprised to hear this. "Are you planning to cut short your time here?" the assistant asked.
"Yeah. Book me the soonest flight back to Bryxton."
"There's a flight in an hour's time, Mr. Forger."
"How far are we from the airport?"
"We're pretty close to it. It'll take a 20-minute drive."
"I'll perform two songs, then." Right after Christopher was done with his performance, he rushed over to the airport without even changing out of his tuxedo. Passersby halted their footsteps and fixed their gazes on his as he walked past them. All of a sudden, he realized how much he appreciated the looks that he got. The attention felt like validation to him.
Yet, that girl doesn't know how to appreciate what she has! A beautiful sight… Damn it. Her words keep resurfacing in my mind! Christopher felt agitated all of a sudden. I feel like I should be the only person she lays her eyes on. Why am I so damn possessive?!
