My Unconventional Lover: Seeing A Different World

Chapter 164

164 Living Together

(Jane’s PoV)

I felt lost.

I had just known that Siji loved love-triangle story a lot. He even found us amusing and watched us excitedly that I wouldn’t believe that he didn’t like story about love-triangle. However, before Tom and Sanji got involved further in argument, Siji reminded Tom about the reason he was brought here.

“I think you should report yourself now.” Siji nodded at him.

“Report? What report?” I looked at the both of them alternately.

“Where is the Master?” Tom was snapped back to his senses as soon as he heard what Siji said.

I had a feeling the moment he said Master. Just seeing him able to communicate with Siji made me suspicious. Now that Siji mentioned about report, my assumption was likely to be correct.

I watched as Siji nodded at me nonchalantly. I also watched as Tom’s face changed into confusion when he made sure that I was the one Siji pointed at.

“She is the Master?” Tom voiced it out, demanding for a verbal answer, yet he only got a nod from Siji.

.....

“If what you mean is Master of First Army, yes, that’s me.” I nodded.

“Aah.” Tom didn’t look surprised, but he looked like he had expected it. “Make sense.” He nodded.

I arched my eyebrows. “You take it so easily. Now tell me, what is it that you want to report to me?”

Out of nowhere, he reached out his hand to me for a handshake. With a firm gaze and polite smile, he said to me, “My name is Thomas Putra Alamsyah, starting today I will be your General. Please, take care of me.”

See? I KNEW IT!

“Welcome to the army, Sir Thomas. Please, take care of me, too.” It wasn’t awkward. It was as if we were just partners in work.

Warm glow emitted from where our hands were connected and enveloped our bodies. I felt cool breeze on my body despite that warmth in my hand. So refreshing. For a split second, I was brought into my consciousness. I already knew that I had vast consciousness to house my spiritual power, but now, even though I still couldn’t see the end of my consciousness, I could feel the flow of spiritual power was getting better and swift. The form also changed a bit; it was getting thicker and longer. Even though I put my hand in the stream, the smoke didn’t dissipate where my hand was. Instead, it got thicker and circled my hand in a tight grip.

Surprise? Of course. I didn’t know the presence of a General could affect my own power. What about Tom, then?

The glow dissipated and once again I looked at Tom who still had a surprise expression on his face. I looked at him carefully and found out that the flow of his spiritual power was also as swift as mine. It was as if we were connected to each other. I shifted my gaze to Siji and found out that he had a dumbfounded expression on his face, too. Not because of us, but because he had felt his own spiritual power matched to ours.

“Indeed, the appearance of a General can bring a significant change to us now that we’re complete.” Siji nodded. “Also, I didn’t know the report could be done that way. The previous Masters and Generals made it in ceremony, with kneeling and everything. You’re the only ones who made a report and established the connection with that simple introduction and handshake.”

“Should we redo it, then?” I asked, a bit worried with the future.

“No. The condition is for the General to report him/herself to the Master and get acknowledgement from the Master. Physical contact from the Master is the main key of this report. Most of the Master put their hand on top of the General’s head, blessing the General with their acceptance.” Siji explained.

“Then, it’s alright like this.” Tom smiled.

“Are you done?” Sanji’s voice made me remember that he was still with us. He stepped forward and again pulled me away from Tom. “Please, maintain a reasonable distance between you and her before we clear out several things.”

Again, Tom frowned in displeasure. “I don’t think there is anything to be cleared out.” He replied coldly.

“Of course. Since I’m her fiance, it should be like what you said. There’s nothing to talk about.” Sanji smirked.

The frown on Tom’s face got even deeper. It was clear that he was provoked by what Sanji said. I was about to interrupt but Siji held me back and shook his head.

“Why?” I asked him in a whisper.

“Let them talk.” He said. “They need to settle it between them. If you take side, the one on the other side would leave you, I’m sure you don’t want it.”

“It can’t be that serious, can it?” I shook when I heard him say it. Really? If I picked Tom, then Sanji would leave? As much as I wanted Tom to stay, I also didn’t want Sanji to leave. Being with him for these months made me grow a bit of affection towards him.

Okay, it was not only a bit. It was quite... much, actually. In some ways, I was dependent to him. I had got used to his presence that only thinking about him leaving would make my heart ache.

I knew that I sounded so selfish, that I wanted both of them to stay with me. But, I didn’t want them to fight either. Keeping the both of them beside me would surely lead to some arguments, but I didn’t want either of them to leave.

“That’s why I said to let them talk.” Siji said again, as if he could read my mind.

Fine, I would let them talk. But, not here. “Gentlemen, can we move to the living room so that you guys can talk more freely?” I smiled awkwardly at these two...damn, two hot men were fighting over me in my own house! Why did I just realize it?

Easy, take control of yourself, Jane. Control yourself. I said to myself inwardly.

I was fortunate that both Tom and Sanji agreed even with long face. The both of them were sitting each at the furthest end of the couch, while I took a seat in the single couch. Both of them had murderous aura around them which made me got up and went to the kitchen. I couldn’t stand the pressure emitted from both of their body.

Propping myself on the island table in the kitchen, I watched the upcoming duel between two men from afar. Siji was sitting right beside me, clearly enjoying the show.

Even though I said that I was watching the duel, in reality I was admiring the changes in Tom. Compared to the previous version of Tom, this version of Tom was more mouth-watering. I mean, just look at those firm and muscular body of his. He wasn’t overly bulky but obviously he wasn’t as thin as he used to be.

I didn’t say that his body back then was not good, but this time he looked more like a model than a commoner. He didn’t look like he was frequent in the gym, but he was definitely had a sexy body. Did he have abs? I wonder how he would look like under his shirt.

Oh God, I must be blushing right now. Feeling conscious with the heat that started to spread on my face, I hid my cheeks with my hands.

But it didn’t stop me from observing him more.

His tan skin... I remembered his pale skin when he was still transparent back then. He was definitely not tan, but the one in front of me had the sexy tan color. Never mind, everything about him was sexy! Why bother mentioning his figures and adding sexy in each of them? He was sexy, in and out, top to bottom!

I suppressed the urge to squeal with difficulties. My Tom, he was my Tom!

“You have that silly grin on your face, are you aware of it?” Siji’s voice snapped back to my senses. “Ah, you’re also drooling a bit.” He pointed at my face.

I wiped the corner of my mouth quickly but found out that I was tricked. Siji laughed when he saw me glaring at him.

Never mind, I didn’t want to waste my time glaring at this old man -well, he never liked it when I called him old man.

Deciding to ignore whatever comment coming from Siji, I continued ogling at my boyfriend, and my fiance. Both of them were hot! If I were ordered to choose one, I would bawl my eyes out since I couldn’t choose.

I didn’t know how much time had passed since I started to watch them, but whatever sound or words came from them didn’t enter my ears at all. I didn’t know what they were talking about. I realized they had finished talking when the both of them had come in front of me with a smirk on their faces.

What? What happened? I was bewildered as I looked at them alternately.

“Well, congratulations for you!” Siji said as he got up from his seat. He was smiling at me, but I truly didn’t know what he congratulated me for.

“Now that Tom is here, I guess I should just move in, too. You can’t possibly live here with just the two of you, right?” Sanji said. I was stunned, but I couldn’t react in time.

What did he mean about living together? Why did those simple words create a complicated mess in my head? How could I turn stupid only after admiring men’s body?

“Well, I’ll be back soon. Don’t get too close to him while I’m not here, okay?” Sanji warned me before he took his bag and walked out of the door.

“I’m off, too. Just call me when you need me.” Siji waved his hand and disappeared.

Tom and I were the only ones left. I blinked my eyes in disbelief. Those two went so fast that I had no chance to ask them about the deal between Tom and Sanji. I could ask Tom, actually, but I doubt he would tell me about it.

I shifted my eyes to Tom who was walking towards me. His bright eyes made me anxious, it was as if he was planning to do something to me. As he was getting closer, I noticed the burning flame in his gaze. In instant my heart beat wildly as my face flushed a deep shade of crimson.

Tom swept me off from my feet and put me on the island table. Without wasting anymore words, his hot lips met mine. His kiss was demanding, as if he wanted to devour me. His hands firmly held me back in place, sticking close to his body. His body went in between my open legs and one second into our kiss, I had put my legs around his hips, eager to feel more of him.
