SWNOVELS Chapter 36
Natalie was frightened by her obscene thoughts and averted her attention quickly.
There was a huge mirror on the vanity table by the door. Natalie started to look at herself in the mirror.
The warm light in the bathroom was like a thin veil covering Natalie's face, accentuating her soft and delicate face. The steam in the bathroom made her delicate face look moist and supple.
Natalie suddenly realized that she looked quite beautiful.
Her face, skin and facial features were beyond words.
"I realize that I'm indeed a beauty," Natalie suddenly sighed.
She heard a chuckle behind her.
Natalie snapped back to her senses and she was a little angry and embarrassed. She retorted, "What's that supposed to mean? Am I not pretty enough?"
"You were really stunning when you wore a red wig and sang 'Love Dealer'!" Tobias's low voice replied.
"You!" Natalie was so furiously that she wanted to turn around mindlessly in an attempt to reprimand Tobias.
She suddenly realized that Tobias was still in the shower upon turning around. At the same time, Tobias was putting on his clothes but she saw everything she should not have. "I, I..." Natalie turned around hurriedly and she flushed from head to toe. She muttered, 1 didn't mean it."
Tobias put on his bathrobe and walked up to Natalie. He replied, "It doesn't matter even if you did. It's not like you haven't seen it before."
Natalie's face turned redder and she was extremely embarrassed.
"Go and shower," Tobias instructed. He stopped teasing her when he noticed her rosy cheeks. Then he turned around.
"You won't peek at me, right?" Natalie was still worried.
"Don't worry, I'm a gentleman," Tobias added, "Unlike you."
Natalie knew that she was in the wrong. She did not argue with him and showered quickly. She wanted to put on her clothes when she realized that Cecilia prepared an outfit for her but there were no undergarments for her to wear.
She arrived at Themyscira Apartment empty-handed and did not bring anything with her.
After mulling it over, Natalie decided to put on her old, used undergarments that she had planned on changing.
Her underwear gave off a foul smell because the weather was humid and she had been wearing the same undergarments for two consecutive days. Natalie reminded herself to go back the next day and bring all her clothes.
After changing her clothes, Natalie noticed that Tobias was standing there with his back against her.
He was tall. He looked exceptionally handsome even if he was just standing there casually with his shoulders spread out.
Natalie recalled when she accidentally turned to Tobias earlier. It was just a glance but his figure was enough to make people salivate.
She was lost in her thoughts. She stumbled on the steps and tripped forward when she was descending the stairs.
"Ah!" Natalie screamed.
Tobias looked over his shoulder and noticed that Natalie was careening toward him. He stretched out his arm instinctively and held Natalie in his arms.
Natalie's momentum was overwhelming. Initially, the both of them would crash to the floor together. However, Tobias took advantage of the vanity table and managed to support both of them.
The tips of their noses were touching and their lips almost brushed against each other.
Tobias had a pair of ocean- like eyes. It was like staring into an endless depth.
Natalie gawked at Tobias's dark eyes and she felt like she was being absorbed into them.
"Are you done looking?"
She suddenly heard Tobias's pleasant voice the moment their eyes met.
Natalie regained herself. She realized that they were in an awkward position and she was still staring at him like a fangirl.
Gosh, how could she be so embarrassing!
She struggled to break free from Tobias when she noticed that his hands wrapped around her waist firmly.
