Chapter 17 - CHAPTER 17

THIRD PERSON'S POV

Skyler got shy around Sean, he went on checking his refrigerator, "Master… what are you doing? Are you and your guest hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll tell the chef…" The old lady with a maid uniform came down smiling. "Pardon my rudeness, I'm Dahlia, I'm the head maid of this house… It's nice to meet you…" Sean introduced himself, "Hello, I'm Sean." Sean smiled, "I believe you were the first guest we ever had… for like ever," Dahlia said. Sean blushed, Skyler looked at Sean and also got flustered, "I want some air-fried chicken. How about you, Sean?" Skyler asked, "I would also like chicken…" Dahlia went to the kitchen. "Have a seat, Sean…" Skyler pats the couch space beside him. Sean settled down, "Would you like to watch something?" Skyler offered, "I'm good… with anything…". Skyler played a random movie, Sean watched the movie with Skyler, Sean laughed through the scenes, and it was a comedy. Skyler found himself in a trance as he looked at Sean laughing. He moved Sean's hair away from his face. "What are you doing?" Sean, already flustered, jolts, "Ah! Sorry…" Skyler covered his mouth as he looked away. The head maid arrived with the food, and Skyler sighed with relief. Skyler can't help but steal a glance at Sean, "H-How was your sister?" Skyler stammered, "She is doing fine… always busy…" Sean said while putting down his chicken, Skyler felt awkward. He knew he was the reason.

Skyler noticed Sean took the drumstick and bit it. Skyler's eyes widened at what he witnessed. He found Sean extremely cute and seductive, and Skyler shook his head vigorously. Sean was worried, "Are you okay?" Sean asked, "Yeah, I'm good… oh, it's evening already… why not stay for a while, the storm has not stopped yet…" Skyler suggested, "Thank you… I'll tell my sister that I'll be staying here for a while…" After settling, Sean finds himself wondering why he said yes to Skyler's offer; he is becoming too easy to get. His sister surprisingly agreed.

"Sean, you can sleep in my bed. I haven't had my staff clean the other rooms…" Skyler explained, "But where are you going to sleep?" Sean asked, "There's a couch in the bedroom…" Skyler replied, while fixing his pants, "Why don't you sleep with me?" Sean asked, his face blushing, he stared at Skyler, Skyler blushed, heat rising in his face, "Well, if you don't mind," Sean turned around, as soon as he realized what he just said to Skyler, he could've suggested sleeping on the couch instead of sharing a bed. Skyler takes off his clothes, leaving his boxers. Sean covers his face, closing his eyes but peeking through his fingers, "What's wrong? Did I make you uncomfortable?" Sean shakes his head and sits on the edge of the bed. In his mind, Sean thought, please don't be in love with someone else.

Please don't have somebody waiting on you, he thought of the song his sister painstakingly played years ago. Sean lies down, Skyler turns off the lights except for the table lamp beside Sean. "Would you like to leave some lights on?" Sean shakes his head, "Then I'll leave the curtain open… the moon looks beautiful…" Skyler looked at the sky. "Indeed, it is beautiful," Sean replied, while looking at Skyler's side profile. His eyes looked like the galaxy, Sean thought. They both lay down in the bed. Sean felt Skyler's hot breath; he was facing him, and Sean couldn't help but blush, while Skyler was in a deep sleep. It was almost up to the point that it took him a long time to fall asleep. The next morning, Skyler woke up a minute ahead of his alarm. It was 4:59 am already, and he quickly turned off his alarm. He combed his hair back with his finger and then looked at Sean, who was by his side. Sean's hair was messy, his clothes peeling off his shoulders, and his collarbone and neck were exposed. Skyler gulps, he can't look away, he feels weird, and he is at a loss when realizing he is actually attracted to Sean, who is a man. Sean woke up. Skyler was startled.

"Good morning…" Sean greeted. "Good morning…" Skyler gets out of bed. "I'll tell the cook to prepare breakfast," Sean nodded. The two of them shared the food, and Sean was enjoying it. Sean prepares as he has something to do at school. Skyler was busy sorting his documents, while Sean looked at him and imagined scenarios. Sean had read a book not long ago by ZP that is BL.

He fixed his papers, then slowly gazed at me, asking me with his low voice, "Why are you staring?" My heart flutters, a warm breeze brushes my face, and I am gulping my saliva, "I-I…" I stuttered. "Sean! Sean!"Sean!?" Sean jolted. He realized Skyler called him "Yes?" Sean asked, "What time are you going? I could drop you off their" Skyler offered, "Uhm… in 30 minutes…" Skyler nodded, he waited for Sean to finish, and he led him to his car. He started the car and noticed Sean hadn't done his seatbelt.

He went closer to Sean and immediately fastened his seatbelt. Sean couldn't help but blush; he soon recovered as Skyler went back to his seat and drove the car. The whole drive was silent, but Sean's heart beat loudly on his chest; he couldn't help but admire Skyler. "That's my stop…" Sean said, breaking the silence. Skyler just nodded and stopped at the dropping area, "Good luck out there…" Skyler smiles brightly, Sean's heart is about to burst, his face turns red, and his eyes sparkle.

He nods quickly and smiles back, "You too…" He immediately closed the door gently and rushed inside the school. He couldn't think of anything else but Skyler's smile. Gim saw everything, and he just then followed Sean silently. So he liked that guy, wish it was me though. He thought he tried to reach Sean, but hesitated. "Sean!!!" Lemon called from not far away from the hallway. "Lemon… good morning," Sean greeted, "Good morning, and good morning to you too, Gim…" Lemon greeted Gim, who was behind Sean, "Gim! I didn't notice you…" Sean was startled, "It's okay… I don't want to burst your happy bubble… You seemed happy and excited earlier after you got out of the car…" Gim smiled, Sean blushed with embarrassment, he covered his face, "Hey… what happened, tell me, come on… who was it?" Lemon asked, and he was curious, "I didn't see who it was…" Gim stated. "It was just an acquaintance…" Sean answered, but Lemon and Gim just looked at each other they know Sean was hiding something.

Sean could not muster the words to tell his friends that it was his crush who gave him a ride. *Phone rings* "Hello? I want you to find anything about Sean Traes and… tell me where I could find him…" Man's voice.
