The day after – Friday
Caesar has invited Darren, Yue and Dylan to his place for dinner and a movie after work. Everyone goes home to change and then they will meet at Caesars'.
Taylor Swift and a friend of hers are also invited because Darren has started dating the singer. By the way, Yue could not have been happier about the news.
Caesar comes from a rich family. As a matter of fact, his parents do not understand why he works so hard for the FBI when he could be traveling the world and enjoying life. He lives in one of the Wu residences by the sea, an apartment that is not that big, but it is certainly luxurious. The view is astonishing, and the decoration is tasteful and typical of a man, with no feminine accents whatsoever.
Although Caesar is content with his lifestyle, he is tired of courting and dating —it has become exhausting— and desires to settle down now that he has turned 28. If he finds the right woman, he might be married and settled by 30, which would make his parents extremely happy.
Darren and Taylor have been chatting every day since they met, exchanging many romantic messages, flirting incessantly since day one. A few days ago, they also had a first date that went unbelievably well —a romantic dinner at a restaurant of Taylor's choice— and this will be their second date, or first group date.
Taylor is bringing a friend this evening to set her up with Caesar, a beautiful and outgoing 25-year-old girl with Latin American origins, a typical Floridian beauty. Caesar is excited to meet her because Darren showed him a picture: the woman looked like a top model. She is the type of female specimen Dylan used to date, and this bothers Caesar a smidge, because he met his last two girlfriends while working undercover—the ladies looked nothing but perfect.
The first one to arrive tonight is Darren, punctual as always. Then lands the inseparable duo, Dylan and Yue, the Ying and the Yang, the bread and the butter... The boys tease them to death because they seem to be bonded with glue to one another more and more each passing day. Yes, there is the fact that their microchips are connected and they need to stay in one another's proximity; however, they appear to have taken the relationship to a whole new level, a bizarre one that no one comprehends fully, not even the implicated.
Last but not least, Taylor and Ana arrive.
The 3 boys drop their jaws to the ground as soon as the two ladies walk through the front door. Drool will be scooped off the floor all night. Are they even real?
Darren is dazzled by his date; Taylor is a gorgeous piece of a woman: confident, beautiful, accomplished, talented... Countless things can be said, particularly tonight that she's wearing a strapless pink dress, perfect makeup and fantastic hair.
Darren doesn't understand what she sees in him, when the truth is that he is exactly the type of guy Taylor was hoping to find: a good-looking, sweet man with no hidden agenda that would fall in love with her whole package. Bingo! At her 31 years and his 29, the match looks made in heaven.
