Automatic Love

Brea's P.O.V.

As we both walked in the town officially, I was being very observant about my surroundings. The architecture looked exactly like some of the buildings from China, the people were either busy with their shops or mini markets. The aroma from the food also smelled delicious.

It was everything that I could ever imagine. There will be days when I just daydream about visiting this place and being able to be here on this day without any expectations seemed unreal.

The whole time, I wouldn't let myself stand next to Tai while we walking. When I see something that catches my attention, I either up run towards it or just bring him along with me so that he won't lose me.

"Tai, look!" I saw something that caught my eye.

Before he was about to speak, I ended up grabbing his arm to lead him to the spot that I was talking about. When we got there, we ended up at a souvenir shop. They were keychains, pins, shirts, mugs, and bags.

I picked up the pins to see them up close. "These are nice!" I said while showing him. He came beside me and looked at them with me. "Yeah, they have these everywhere here." He added. I put them back and he picked one of them up.

Suddenly, I smelled something that just made my stomach growl. I followed the scent and it lead to me a food market that was next to the souvenir shop. I looked at the food and it looked like corndogs with some kind of powder or sugar coated all over it.

"Hello, would you like to try one?" One of the workers asked.

"We'll take two please." Tai said and came up to us. The worker grabbed our corndogs and Tai took out some of his money from his wallet to pay for us. "Don't worry about it coffee boy, I got this." I said while trying to get my money out from my purse.

"You're too late anyway, I already paid." He said. I looked at him and squinted my eyes. He smirked at me and grabbed the corndogs from the worker. "Thanks." He said. "Enjoy!" The worker responded.

I closed my purse and looked up at Tai. He handed me my corndog and we started to walk away from that food market. Luckily, we found an empty bench that was under a tree and the both of us took a seat on there.

"Thanks coffee boy!" I said with a smile.

"No problem. You know that's not a regular corndog, it's just cheese in it ." He mentioned.

"Really?" I asked. Then, I ended up taking a bite of it and the cheese had melted in my mouth. My tastebuds were satisfied with the taste of it and I felt my eyes starting to water. Where has this delicious delicacy been all my life?!

"What do you think?" He asked.

I looked at him still having it in my mouth and he didn't even eat his yet. Then, I took it out my mouth. "Aren't you going to eat yours? It's going to get cold." I mentioned. He grinned and began to chuckle a little after.

"What?" I questioned.

"I think someone is having a ball with this corndog." He laughed.

I looked down at myself and didn't see any crumbs. "What are you talking about?" I asked. He scooted a little closer to me and lifted my chin up gently. Then, he caressed his thumb near my mouth to wiped the sugar off.

His touch was gentle and soft which made my body tingle. It made my stomach feel weird too. Not in a bad way, but the feeling was just so comforting. He was also close to me and the facial expression he had while doing this seemed so..sincere.

Something that I noticed about him is that he is always looking out after me and sometimes, I don't even realize it. For example, now. I can take care of myself, but he doesn't care.
