CHAPTER 9

Natan was sitting in his wooden chair in front of his plate that was resting on top of his study table. While working on a plan for his plate, he ran out of ideas. His mind was a mess and he could not focus on the project he was making.

I need to finish this plate before I fail.

He tried to focus but he just couldn’t. He didn’t know why. Something was bothering him but he couldn’t pinpoint what it was.

When he couldn’t work on the plate anymore, he just put away his things and placed them on top of the drawer on the other side of the room. Then he went straight to bed after grabbing his MacBook from inside the drawer. He opened it and logged into Facebook.

He was only wearing a SpongeBob boxer brief, nothing else. He was comfortable like this.

The first thing he checked was his future wife.

Bella Alcazaren had a new post today when Natan looked at her timeline. It was posted an hour ago. He got excited when he saw her selfie.

Bella was wearing a black tank top and her full, round chest was very visible. She was smiling while sitting on a sofa.

You’re so hot, future wife.

Natan felt his friend down there slowly waking up when he saw Bella’s full chest. He bit his lip, feeling a rush of desire.

But his brows furrowed when he noticed the man in the background of Bella’s photo, caught by the camera.

Her brother.

He was on the stairs, looking like he just woke up with messy hair and no shirt on. He also wasn’t wearing pants. The only thing he had on was a black boxer brief.

Natan’s eyes widened.

His gaze traveled to the man’s perfectly sculpted abs. The v-shape leading downward was also visible. There was some hair just below his navel.

When Natan’s eyes landed between his legs, he swallowed hard.

That bulge is big.

Fuck.

His heart started beating fast. Sweat formed on his skin. He was palpitating just from looking at Brian’s bulge.

Damn it. That kind of body should be illegal. Is he God’s favorite?

Natan took a deep breath and closed the MacBook.

No. Natan, you should stop.

He calmed himself down when he noticed his heart pounding. He closed his eyes, opened them again, inhaled deeply, and exhaled.

Now he felt better. His heartbeat had gone back to normal.

I don’t like what I’m feeling right now.

When Natan opened his MacBook again, the photo of Bella was still there, with Brian caught in the background.

Later, he visited the comment section and read through them. His expression soured when he saw the comments.

Stephanie: Looking gorgeous as always. If I wasn’t a girl, I would have courted you bestie!

Leonel: Like back please pretty girl

Brian: Delete this! Disrespectful, you didn’t even inform me you were taking a picture, little shit

Bradley: You’re so pretty beh. Prayer reveal.

Natan laughed when he saw his friend’s comment. Lucky him, he could comment. Only Bella’s Facebook friends could comment on her posts.

Natan shook his head and stared at Bella’s photo again. His attention went straight to her chest.

So big. Shit. Perfect for both of my hands.

And then Natan remembered Brian’s almost naked body. He couldn’t deny the fact that Brian was fucking hot.

Natan wasn’t attracted to men, he was sure of that. Men’s bodies had no effect on him. He had seen them many times and not once had he been attracted to them. No effect, no spark, no boner.

Even dicks didn’t give him lust.

But when it came to Brian, Natan didn’t know what was happening to him. This was the third time he had looked at Brian’s body. And the second time he had checked him out.

His heart beat faster every time he saw Brian’s body.

Bella gave him a boner every time he saw her body. Her petite frame, her beautiful curves.

But Brian’s effect was different. It was like being burned whenever he saw his body. His whole body burned, even his length.

Why Brian?

Natan was fucking confused to the core. But he had an idea of what he was feeling right now. He didn’t want to admit to himself that he was attracted to Brian. But that’s exactly what his mind was telling him.

He breathed in and closed his eyes before opening them again. His gaze landed on the wall of his room full of drawings and sketches.

Fine. I am attracted to him.

He bit his lip and pouted before turning his attention back to the MacBook.

It’s just an attraction anyway. I won’t let this grow. Bella might cry if I cheat on her.

Natan decided to check Brian’s profile just to confirm that he really was attracted to him.

His eyes widened when he landed on Brian’s Facebook profile.

Brian James Alcazaren

Calvin Klein Ambassador.
Dude with six-pack abs.
I am hot and I know that.

134,056 followers.

Fuck. Ambassador? Aside from the thick face, the number of followers was shocking. So many.

He’s fucking famous. Meanwhile, Natan only had around ten thousand followers.

Natan scrolled through his wall. Brian didn’t have many posts aside from some advertisements. But Natan’s brows furrowed when Brian’s wall suddenly refreshed and a new public post appeared.

Brian James Alcazaren

I think I’m in love <3

His brows drew together. Curiosity sparked about who this guy was in love with.

Who’s the idiot that he fell for?
