Unexpected Encounter

Chapter 2

When Shawn woke up, he was alone in the huge bed, but he can hear someone showering in the bathroom.

He abruptly sat up, his mind blank for a few seconds. Then all the memories last night suddenly came in.

He went pale when he remembered what happened last night.

While he's still immersed in his thoughts, the sound of the water from the bathroom suddenly stop.

Shawn grew frantic. Hopping down from the bed, despite the discomfort he felt he hurriedly put on his clothes, then he turn towards the door, and left without a word.

Shawn just got out when Leander suddenly open the door of the bathroom. Only clad with a white towel around his waist, his toned and well sculpted chest bare. A few water droplets running from his wet hair, down to his neck then to his collarbone. He looked so sexy anyone would faint from seeing such masterpiece.

Sweeping a cold look around the room, he was surprised for a moment when he realized that the messy bed was now empty. Walking towards it, he reached for his phone and make a call.

"It's a surprise young master," the mocking voice said. "what happened that you taken the initiative to call me this early in the morning."

Leander ignored his teasing and went straight to the point. "There was someone with me last night."

The other line went silent.

Then after a few moment, he heard the man cough, as if he'd choked when he heard his words. "What did you just say? Leander, am I understanding you correctly? You're with someone? A woman... Did you did it with you know..her.."

"We did it. But it's not with a woman. It's with a man."

The man chocked. He started coughing, and gasped in an audible helpless voice. "A man? What the heck? Are.. Y-you sure??"

Leander just remain quiet as if he's saying how stupid he was for asking that question.

The man clear his throat, and chuckled. "R-right... Sorry for being stupid. But God, Leander! Haven't you always hated being touched? I remember a beautiful actress touched your arm one time, and you washed your arm ten times over. But now, you're telling me, that you had s*x. To. A. Man. Nonetheless."

Leander went quiet for a few moments before saying."He's different from the rest. My body doesn't repulsed by him. In fact I liked it when he's with me."

The man last night didn't make him revolted at all. Actually, he like him very much. His scent. His touch. His everything. Leander couldn't help but yearn for him.

He couldn't help but get closer to him.

He called his friend to help him understand what's happening to him.

He never felt like this before...

"And..." Leander look down at the messy bed and hesitated before saying, "I slept for 7 hours last night. I didn't woke up at the middle of the night, nor did I have any nightmare."

His friend was extremely surprised, because he knew what was Leander's story, and his condition. "What's going on here?"

Leander rubbed his temple, his voice hoarse. "I wouldn't be calling you if I knew. I'm wandering, has it got something to do with him?"

His friend asked. "The man you lost your v-card to?"

Leander went quiet.

His friend stopped joking around, and become serious. "Leander, if you want to know if it's because of him, that's simple, just contact him. Talk to him."

Leander was still silent.

"Ugg, I'm not joking now. Call him. Talk to him. Make sure if what you're feeling is true. You may never know he could probably be your savior."

Savior?

His world had been dark and gloomy for 20 years, and he thought he'd been used to it.

If he hadn't felt the warmth and saw the light he would probably lived in this kind of life for a lifetime.

But after his experience last night, he do not want to return to the darkness.

If he's really his savior, then he had to have him, whatever the price he would gladly pay.

He's already fated to be his. And he would kill anyone who wants to take him away....

****

Julian Dwight, picked up his work phone and went stiff when he heard the familiar cold voice. "Find out who was the man with me last night. Right now."

"Yes, President Martinez."

Shawn dragged his very tired body out of the hotel. And he'd just left the place when he heard his phone rang.

"Brother." Christina gently said on the other line. "let's have a talk."

Shawn gripped his phone tightly and took a deep breath. "There's nothing for us to talk about."

"Is that so?" Shawn can tell that Cristina was smiling even though she's on the phone. And it make him frustrated. "What if it concerns Shane? Wouldn't you wanted to talk to me, then?"

Shane?

Shawn's expression immediately changed. Clenching his jaw, he gritted. "Cristina, what are you talking about?"

Cristina didn't answer him, she simply said. "Shawn, I'll be waiting at Milton RestoBar. See you there."

***

When Shawn reached the restaurant, Cristina was already waiting in the Private Room for him.

She's wearing a full on make up, a very expensive figure hugging black dress and she even curled her hair. And when she saw him, she smiled.

"Come, Shawn. Have a seat."

Shawn just stood there and glared at her.

But Cristina did not appear bothered at all. She gracefully took out a check from her purse and place it on the table. "Shawn, here's a million dollar. I believe it's enough for you to live on for the rest of your life."

She looked up, and on her face was a clear look of arrogance and superiority. "I know that Shane's treatment requires a lot of money, and you're only depending on your income from your shoots, but it's not very stable, right?"

"With this money, you and Shane could live a little better."

Shawn looked at the check in front of him but did not respond.

"Shawn let's be honest with each other." Christina's lips curled up then she rested one hand over her belly.

"I knew you've heard what I said last night. I'm pregnant with Zeus child and I plan to keep this baby."

"But before that you need to tell to Zeus' parents that you're breaking up with him. Otherwise, his parents, especially his mother would think badly of me."

"You know that Zeus was about to take over the Family Business. He can't possibly make any mistakes, or create problems that would reflect poorly on his character at this point in time."

"That's why I'm hoping that you will take the initiative and go to his mother to clear up your relationship status."

Her words were very shameless but Shawn discovered that he's not actually very angry with her.

He'd probably vented all of his emotions last night.

And now, as he listened to her ramblings, he only found it ironic and ridiculous.

He smiled sarcastically. "Cristina, all you're doing here, did Zeus knew about it."

Because Shawn discovered that when Cristina told she was pregnant last night, Zeus was not particularly happy.

Her pregnancy was definitely an accident.

He was about to take over the Family's Business soon, before that was successfully done he couldn't go public about his relationship with Cristina, because it could tarnish his reputation.

It was very clear that Zeus didn't know that Cristina was here talking to him.. And as expected, her expression changed. "Shawn just let go. Zeus didn't love you anymore. He didn't even really love you. If not for the engagement that our parents had set since you were young, did you recall think he would choose you."

"Shawn, is there any point for you to cling to someone who didn't like you anymore."

Shawn was rather calm. In fact, all of his anger had gone ever since she started spouting nonsense. "This is between me and Zeus, there's no room for interference to a third party like you."

Christina's face darkened, she bit her lips. "So you're saying you'll not listen to my request."

Shawn sneered, "If you've come to look for me, just to discuss this matter, I've got no interest on it."

With that, he turned around, ready to leave.

"Hold it right there."

Cristina stood up, grab his hand and hold him tightly. "Shawn, how much money would it take for you to leave Zeus. If 1 million was not enough.. Then you wanted more. How about 5 million? Don't be too stubborn, just take the money and leave him. You're a man, you couldn't possibly satisfy him like I could. And now that I'm pregnant, you're already useless for him.. What's the problem if he marry me? We're from the same family anyway. Choosing me is actually better than him marrying a—"

Shawn couldn't hold it anymore and slap her on the face!

You b***h!!
