Change Me

Chapter 14: Scar

[ CJ's POV ]

"I said take that damn shirt off." he repeated.

I didn't know what to do or how to react. I never stripped in front of any guy and I never will. Hindi ko narin alam kung ano pang iisipin ko. Ano bang gusto nyang mangyari? We were alone in this dark cold cave and he's asking me to 'take my damn shirt off'.

And then I remembered what just happened earlier. I was stupid enough to react like that nung tinanong nya ako kung may boyfriend ba ako.

Perhaps this, him asking me to strip, was his another shot at me to get me look stupid. And I don't want to look stupid just like I did earlier. I'm not gonna let him bruise my ego again.

Without thinking twice, hinubad ko ang t-shirt ko sa harap nya like it was the most basic thing to do in front of him. It felt extremely awkward but he doesn't have to know. Ayaw kong isipin nya na big deal sakin ang gawin yun kase baka malaman nyang I already have these strong weird feelings towards him which, believe me, irritates the crap out of me.

To my surprise, tumalikod ito at nag-iwas ng tingin. At first, I thought he'd stay in that position. That was what I thought until he began to strip off the Drew House sweater he was wearing.

God, may the holy spirit be with me.

I badly want to look away. I did my best but it wasn't enough. I can't tear my eyes off of him. I secretly thanked God that he was wearing sleeveless undershirt underneath his sweater kase kung hindi, I might have completely lost it.

I was distracted the whole time though because as he was taking off his sweater, his tank top lifted up a bit and his Calvin Klein boxers were staring back at me. At tama si Lola Percy at si Seige, Justin indeed had a problem of pulling his pants up like what the hell. He needed to pull his pants up right now kase di ko na alam ko ano pang gagawin ko to calm myself down.

My eyes began to travel it's way around his body. It was my first time to get to see him wearing tank top. And men, his broad shoulders and his well-built biceps were to die for. Yeah he's got tattoos but unlike other men, it only made him look downright sexy and desirable. Nung di pa kase ako na-kidnap, never kong inisip na sexy ang mga lalaking may tattoos. Plain criminal lang ang tingin ko sa kanila (sorry, but what the hell don't judge me) And looking at Justin right now was completely a different thing. He's way too gorgeous to be a criminal or something. It's ironic though kase criminal naman talaga sya. He was just a nightmare dressed like a daydream. I had to keep that in mind.

Great. Just great, CJ. Just one glimpse of him wearing that and you've got a huge full-blown stupid crush on him, I inwardly admitted to myself.

This is getting out of hand. I don't want any of these. This is quite insane. Help.

I started to breathe heavily nang lumingon sya sakin, meeting his beautiful hazel brown orbs.

I still didn't have the slightest hint kung bakit nya hinubad ang sweater nya. I didn't know what was going on. I literally sucked my breath when he started to inch closer towards me. I think I need holy water, now.

When he was close enough, he handed me his sweater and quickly went back to his place earlier, his back facing me again. I heard him cleared his throat.

I swear he took a quick glance at my boobs before moving away. And that was enough to make me feel better about myself. He was nearly tempted, I guess.

"A-anong gagawin ko dit-"

"Wear that as you dry your shirt." he was angry again. Pero masasabi kong he was just trying to keep his walls high and not show any kind of emotions.
