New Life : A Second Chance

Kyle moved swiftly.

Upon seeing that glass of juice being thrown, he was already in front of Sari. The plate of food he had held was thrown onto the table, landing neatly without any food being spilled.

He tilted his body to the side a bit so that he could angle the palm of his hand to capture the bottom of the glass. Using the momentum of the glass, he immediately twisted his wrist to turn it so that the glass that had been facing Sari was now facing Dina.

Without missing a beat, he placed a burst of power onto the palm to propel the glass of juice towards Dina. 

At the same time, the juice that had been thrown from the other glass was blocked by his body, thoroughly drenching him but leaving Sari, who was behind him, completely dry.

All of this happened in less than a minute and no one saw what had truly happened.

All that they did see was that Dina tripped and fell, one glass of juice falling on her and the other glass of juice falling on Sari's boyfriend that blocked it.

They didn't even know when he was suddenly there, but he was.

A loud screech was heard from Dina that was on the floor, her entire body (from the hair to the dress) was completely orange from the juice. She was wet and sticky, the juice dripping down her face from her hair, and onto the floor.

She didn't know what had happened. 

It had all been perfect and she was sure she had thrown the glass of juice towards Sari. So how did it end up falling on her instead? Did she miscalculate and threw up instead of forward?

She was sure she hadn't but the evidence proved otherwise.

She glared at Rex, and was flabbergasted.

He had somehow managed to block all of the juice from the other glass from reaching Sari, and just like her, he was completely drenched. His face and shirt was orange as well.

But it was not that which caused her to freeze.

His shirt now clung to his body like a second skin, and the tight abdominal muscles could clearly be seen through. It looked like it had been drawn there, and she blinked rapidly to check whether she was seeing it properly.

She wasn't the only one.

That guy had that sort of body?!

Seriously?

Before anyone could take a good look, he had pulled at the bottom of his shirt to unstick his shirt from his body while Sari went in front of him in worry.

"Oh gosh, Rex, are you alright? You're so wet! Quickly! You need to wash this off!" Sari said desperately, taking Rex's hand in hers. 

She brought him out of the dance hall and into the school corridors. The school had a unisex toilet on that floor as the hall was often used by the public as well. The sign could be flipped, indicating whether there was a girl, or a guy, inside. 

Seeing that the toilet was unoccupied, Sari went in while dragging Kyle along.

She put a stopper on the door so that people could see inside, and know that the occupants were of both genders. 

"Quickly, we have to take off your shirt," Sari instructed, "I'll wash off the juice from it while you wash your face and hair."

Kyle nodded but before he could start unbuttoning his shirt, Sari was already doing so.

Kyle looked down at the serious Sari who looked so agitated and worried, that she did not even realise she was undressing him. 

For some reason, Kyle didn't stop her either as he watched her and her expressions as she unbuttoned his shirt.

Sari, at that moment, was feeling very upset. 

The whole night had been magical and wonderful, so why did this accident have to happen? Poor Rex, getting all wet and sticky from the juice when all he was doing was protecting her.

The only thing on her mind right now was to take care of Rex and make sure that he was clean.

His shirt had to be rinsed immediately, as it would stain otherwise. She quickly unbuttoned his shirt, hardly registering what she was doing. It was only when she opened the shirt wide and her eyes landed on the naked chest in front of her did her brain tell her she had just undressed a man.

She blinked.

There was a naked chest in front of her eyes.

This was her first time seeing a naked chest.

And that naked chest was right in front of her face.

She gripped the shirt tightly, not believing what she was looking at.

"Sari," Kyle said gently, trying to stop the grin from showing on his face. 

Somehow, seeing how she was completely mesmerized by his body made him feel rather content. He always had people admiring it, but having her do so was different.

She didn't seem to have heard him, so he placed his hands on hers and only then did she snap out of it.

She looked up at him, gulped, and looked back at his lean, muscular physique with a well-defined six-pack, and there was this rather sexy 'V' shape dipping down ...

"Sorry," she said, her face beet red.

She quickly took off his shirt, not daring to look at him anymore and started rinsing his shirt in the sink. She was careful to only wash the front part, and not wet the entire shirt. After all, he would need to wear the shirt back again.

Kyle went to the other sink and took off his glasses. He stared in the mirror and saw that his eyes were already red. 

He cursed under his breath.

Some of the juice had managed to get into his eyes, and the contacts he was wearing was now stinging in pain. Taking it off meant revealing his blue eyes. 

Damn. 

Kay really had 'mulut masin'* indeed.
