Automatic Love

•chapter 12•

I noticed that he has dimples because it appeared a little when he smirked. Another weakness. The tension that was going on between us was making me feel a little uncomfortable because he was all up in my personal space and he's also an attractive looking man.

So, I sucked my teeth and pushed him away so that I could open my door and avoid the awkwardness. What's his problem? Why would he even do that?!

When I opened my door, he held it for me and both us went inside. Delaney and Hugo had made their way towards us. "Tai! Welcome." Delaney greeted with a smile. I stood beside Tai standing there quietly. He had me really curious on what he's planning to do here.

I'm going to be extra cautious about it because who knows what he could do.

"Hello! Thank you for having me over." He said with a smile. Tai was acting like a whole different person. He was being nice and polite! Is this the same man that I was with a few days ago?

"Of course! This is my boyfriend Hugo and Hugo, this is Tai. He's the guy that took Brea home safely." Delaney introduces. Both of them held out their hands at the same time and shook each other's hand.

"Hey man, it's nice to meet you!" Hugo said with a smile.

"Likewise." He replied. Delaney had lead us to the table. Hugo and Tai took a seat and Hugo had started a conversation with Tai. In the meantime, Delaney and I decided to fix all of our plates.

When went to the kitchen and I grabbed the plates from our kitchen cabinet. She began to fix our food. "He seems nice so far." She whispered. She handed me a plate of food and I placed it on the kitchen island. "He's acting. Don't let him get to you." I answered bluntly.

"Oh c'mon Brea. You should just give him a chance. He did let you stay over his house just to protect you." She responded. I looked back at Tai and he was talking to Hugo like they already knew each other for months.

He was laughing a little and smiling. Everything was just so confusing to me and I don't why he's acting like this. He definitely doing this on purpose and I'm not going to fall for his little game that he's playing.

It was quiet at the moment. Everyone was eating their food while I was staring at my mines, playing with it with my fork. Surprisingly, I didn't really have an appetite. "So..Tai, what are your hobbies?" Delaney asked to make a conversation.

"I like to write poems, cook, and travel." He said.

I looked up after he said all of that."Wow that's great! Writing is also one of Brea's hobbies. She's a screenwriter!" Delaney bragged.

"Oh really? Intriguing." He said while looking at me.

I rolled my eyes and continued to look down at my food. Time is going by so slow and it needed to hurry up so that he can leave immediately and lock myself in my room.

"Oh, where are my manners! Would you guys like something drink?" Delaney asked.

"Sure." Both of the guys said at the same time. "Okay, Brea come with me please." She said as she got up. I looked at her and gave her a worried look. She titled her head to the kitchen and widen her eyes to tell me to c'mon. I got up from my seat and walked away towards the table with Delaney.
