Shirt!

"Did they end things between them?" Lyra asked furrowing her brows.

She felt like it was a cheap move to approach her friend's ex-boyfriend. But then whatever spiralled between them was not normal. It was complicated. Very complicated.

Even if Juan is soft-hearted towards her it might just be because she was the first woman who got close to him other than his mother. Even if everybody around her and she herself feels like he likes her, he never confessed to her. And on top of that, he dated Tara. She didn't know what to think of this now. She was confused. Should she approach Juan? If she takes in their situation fully, she feels like it was okay but thinking in the place of Tara's friend she feels sick to her stomach.

But most of all, she didn't even know if they broke up! She has to know that for sure to decide on other things.

"What a rotten fate I have! " Lyra muttered as she let herself fall back.

She was so tired that she was about to sleep as soon as she touched her bed but now, all her sleep has vanished. She was going crazy inside her head thinking about everything.

"I can't sleep like this!" Lyra sat up again and groaned running her fingers through her hair.

She can't fall asleep without at least knowing the basic question of all these...

'Did they break up or not?'

Lyra pursed her lips as she thought about how to ask Tara now. She was already dead drunk. Asking her would be like speaking to insane people now. And there is a high chance that she might start crying in her drunkenness.

'Now that I think about it, wasn't she supposed to bawl her eyes out after getting drunk?! Though she was the one who dumped Juan... she did it because of him. How did she end up bullying the young master Su?! Strange!

Ahhh! Stupid Lyra, Focus on important things now,' Lyra chided herself as she thought about how to know the truth.

Her eyes suddenly brightened as she got an idea!

Lyra rushed into her walk-in closet and grabbed her pyjamas. She hastily wore her shirt and she hopped wearing her pant as she tried to walk to grab her coat. She ran outside the house with still her furry bunny slippers on.

She pressed for the elevator and continued walking around as her legs couldn't stand in place. She was in a hurry to hear all the answers. She went back and kept pressing the elevator button.

Finally, it came and she pressed for the top floor of this building Yes, she was going to ask Juan. She can't wait till Tara gets sober. She wants to know now. She stepped out of the elevator and walked briskly to his door.

She keyed the password and banged open the door. She couldn't bother to knock and wait for him to open the door. She practically ran inside the house trying to search for him.

Juan was standing there in front of his bedroom on the first and watched her running around in his house.

"Juan! Juan! Where are you? Ju.." Lyra shouted as she came out of the kitchen. She stopped as she saw Juan standing near the glass frame outside his bedroom.

'God for sure blessed me with rotten luck!' Lyra screamed inside looking at the visual there.

Juan was standing there shirtless with his raven hair dripping wet. A towel was wrapped around his neck as he flaunted his muscular eight ridges on his abdomen. His drool V-line was tempting to the eyes as it disappeared in his pyjama's waistband.

Lyra gulped as she felt his ink-black eyes on her. She shook her head to push her dirty thoughts away and stepped toward him. Juan just looked at her and continued drying his hair with the towel on his neck.

He slowly rubbed the soft towel on his hair messing hair. He looked even more tempting with his messed hair and dark eyes, and cold face.

Lyra chided herself inwardly. Her shamelessness was coming out now that Tara said that they broke up. Until now, Lyra never once thought anything about Juan or rather, looking at him just gave him pain. So there was never once in these four years did she think that Juan looked good or hot. But now Tara spewed some nonsense and that nonsense was sticking inside her head making her go back to her shameless behaviour like before Tara came into their life.

Juan watched her rattling her head and then nodding her head as if she was having a loud debate inside her head. His lips slightly tilted up at her cuteness. But he returned to his poker face as soon as she raised her head to face him.

He just raised his eyebrows as he waited for her to speak.

Lyra felt her throat get dry. Can't he wear a shirt? Doesn't he know that I will get a nosebleed at this rate?

"Can't you wear a shirt?" Lyra asked annoyingly.

Juan blinked once. Well, seeing her barging inside his house like that he thought there was something very important. And it had been four years since Lyra keyed in the password so he was seriously expecting something serious. But now she was speaking nonsense again. Basically, The boys don't have a habit of wearing shirts in the house. And they live alone, so it would not be a surprise even if they walk around naked.

"I am at home," Juan answered simply as he walked past her and went down to the kitchen.

Lyra was speechless. If he puts it like that she could not ask him anything. She stomped her foot and followed him angrily. She just can't speak with this guy! Ice-face! Hmph!

She jumped and sat on the counter and watched him make a simple sandwich. Now that she was seeing food, she remembered that she still hadn't had dinner still. Just as she was about to ask him for food he handed the plate to her.

"Eat," Juan ordered and he made a plate for himself and sat on the barstool which was beside Lyra's dangling legs. Lyra ate as she sat on the counter. She was too lazy to get down, walk, pull the chair, sit, and push the chair. Damn! That was a lot of work!
