Chapter 10

Shawn has already come back with a lot of fruits in his hands. His shirt and pants, even his precious boots, are covered in green blood, indicating that he just had a freaking bloodbath with the creatures lurking in this world. It makes me fume in anger knowing that he just risked his life for these fruits. He walks over in front of me and hands me the fruits that he just gathered. I look at the fruits and arch a brow, but he just wiggles the fruits, silently asking me to take them. With my eyes straight looking at him, just being suspicious, I hesitantly take the fruits away from his hands. Shawn rolls his eyes at me and heads straight to the place where his bag is placed. He has brought a bag? Why didn't I notice that before?

He bends down a bit, displaying his - coughs ­- big butt at me and gets something inside his bag; a pair of shirts and pants. My eyes cautiously scan the whole area and Jelai is nowhere to be found. With that, my eyes go back to Shawn, only to find him undressing. He takes off his military shirt and throws it on the ground and flexes his muscles arms and muscles a bit, and I swear the muscles in his back contract. I don't have a great body like his, and hell I want to have that type of body. I bite my lower lip, only to mentally scold myself for doing such a sexual thing. I grumble under my breath, scratching the back of my neck and scowling, and when my eyes go back to Shawn, he's already taking off his pants, leaving him in a tight black boxers that showcase his round butt very much. I feel myself getting hot and bothered and move my eyes away from the view but unable to do so. It's like my eyes are glued on the view, and the view is the almost naked Shawn.

Absentmindedly taking a bite on the apple that he gave me, that's when Shawn turns around and I spew the apple and some is stuck at the back of my throat and Shawn looks at me with worried eyes and runs to me, only wearing his black boxers and I swear I just want to die from embarrassment. I motion my hand to him, silently telling him that I'm just fine and I'll take care of myself but he's having none. My eyes trail down from the strong line of his neck down to his chest, down to his abdomen until my eyes reach his crotch and it seems like the apple has been stuck deeper at the back of my throat and I seriously want to breath again because I think I'm going to die.

Shawn is getting nervous base from the look on his face. He wants to help but doesn't know how. Dumb. I can feel myself going violet and that's when Shawn does the thing that I just thought; he hugs me from behind and since the day is so perfect and good that he decides to put his crotch on my back and my face gets even redder. He moves a bit, even jumps, and I'm getting uncomfortable because of the position we are in and it's like we're doing something naughty and that's just... yucky. With lots of try, finally, I'm able to remove the apple that has been stuck at the back of my throat.

"What the fuck happened to you?" He snarls the question at me and I frown at him and roll my eyes and start to walk away. He was the reason why there was a small bite-size apple stuck in my throat and I'm not going to say thank you. I turn on my heels and try to catch some breath. He grabs my hand and turns me around against my will and tugs me a bit and I nearly trip. I glare at him. "Don't turn your fucking back on me when I'm fucking talking to you, got that?" His voice is, as usual and always, cold and dark and this time, it holds malice. An unknown feeling travels through my spine that makes me tremble a bit and I nod despite the protests in my head. He lets go of my arm harshly and I bow my head down in shame.

"Are you fine?" He asks, his tone is still the same but holds no malice this time. I nod my head meekly and he sighs loudly and peaking through my lashes, I see him run his fingers through his hair, brushing it back a bit and making it stand up. He sees me looking at him and frowns. "Eat the fruits. They are for you."

"Is this your way of saying I'm sorry because of what happened, you know, because you were the reason why my head bleed?" I'm sorry, I cannot just shut up. He shoots me a deathly glare and I slightly tremble again. I don't know why I'm acting this way. I've been sent here into the journey because of my skills and ability and I know how to fight, but whenever Shawn is around me, he keeps showing me that I'm just a worthless fighter compared to him. "I'm just going to shut up but really, you're an asshole so yes, I'm really going to shut up. Nevermind."

Walking away with my face beet red from embarrassment, I walk away from here faster and when I look back over my shoulder, he has his eyes set on me and I get a bit distracted because I swear something down there just did twitch but probably, my mind's just playing tricks on me. Ogling a man has never occurred in my life but this time, I'm starting to think that I'm really a freak. I walk further until Shawn is just a small figure when I see Jelai singing a song in the dark as lighting bolts surround her. She's dancing, like really swaying her hips and I laugh out loud. She jumps from shock and places her palm on her chest and when she sees me laughing, she glares at me and sends a zap of bolt near my feet which makes me yelp. It's her turn to laugh at me.

"Hey, hottie. What's up?" Jelai asks me as she lightens up the cave with her lightning power. Oh the names she's been giving me. From pretty boy to hottie, what is wrong with this girl? "What happened back there? I heard shouting."

"Oh you know, just like always, Shawn being an asshole," I say to her quickly, leaving the part where Shawn was undressing himself and having to help me while half naked, and also the part where I was nearly choked to death because of an apple caused by Shawn. I shrug to give more effect and she seems to believe it. She nods.

"Well, that sounds very Shawn," she says as she flips her dark blonde hair and looks at something up there. "Just ignore him. I just ignore him because him and I, we're just different."

"Oh for the love of God, yes." I say as I nod at her. "I swear I'd rather you to be eaten by the creatures with you than him saving me."

"Oh thank you, what a nice compliment, bitch." Jelai says as she gives me a bird. "But I'd rather stay with Shawn because even though he's an asshole, he's saved my life so many times... so basically, you're still stuck with him."

"Is it okay if I kill you right now?"

"If you can," she says as she blows me a kiss and laughs then heads back to where Shawn is. I roll my eyes and follow her.

When we get back, Shawn is already dressed in a white sleeveless shirt and a black baggy pants. His arms show a lot of muscle and I feel myself getting bothered again because of the sight. His eyes land on mine and I blush crimson red and avert my gaze and hum awkwardly. From the corner of my eyes, I see smirking and shaking his head and I curse under my breath. He's also still wearing the same boots that he was wearing earlier and it looks really good on him. He picks up his bag and looks at Jelai and I.

"We need to get going," he says as he puts his gaze straight into me. His eyes hold something that makes me just want to look at him, like, he's somehow alluring me into something. "Browdie heard and sniffed something and probably, those are the creatures that have been wanting to kill us. So let's go." He begins to walk further into the cave.

"Wait, wait, wait," I tell him as I pick up my bag. "Are we going further there? It's dangerous,"

"Unless you want to die here, do you?" He asks me and I keep my mouth shut. Shawn smirks. Bitch. "That's what I thought, now come on, pretty boy and Jelai."

Jelai laughs. I hit the back of her head. She hits me back. I groan painfully because she has hit the part where my head was bleeding. Shawn looks at me and his eyes become worried. But he continues to walk away. Asshole.

I swear I think Dylan is acting a bit weird, don't you think so? And I think this is the first time Shawn addressed Dylan as pretty boy. Oh my freaking gosh. What's happening? ♥
