Gulf was silent the whole ride. He wasn't looking at me when I am talking or trying to make a conversation with him. He keeps on fidgeting on the passenger seat. I stop the car to check him up.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes S-sir."

"Then why are you fidgeting on your seat? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"N-no, just a little nauseous. Maybe because of what I ate earlier."

"That is why I told you, to eat slowly. We are not in a hurry. Do you need anything"

"Uh-hmm, any sweets will do. Do you have any?"

"Yes. I do have, it's --"

The next thing he did, shocked me.

He reached out to the box near my gear shift, and grab a chocolate bar from there.

If you think, it's not a big deal. But the thing is, how would he exactly know that I kept chocolate bars in there?

One. This is his first ride with me.

Two. Only one person, knew about that.

And that person, is my Nattarine.

According to him, I should stock food like that so that if ever he is with me, or I go hungry while stuck in the traffic, I have something to munch.

I watch him immediately try to open the wrapper. And the next thing he did shocked me again!

The way Gulf and Nattarine open the chocolate bar is the same! They open it in the middle first then goes upward.

What the hell? Why are they the same?

I shrug the thought in my mind. There is no way in this world that they are the same. My Nattarine is a hella seductress. While this guy is a genius nerd , with a weird fashion sense.

But why do I have a feeling that there is more than his looks?

Sensing that I am staring at him, he slowly turn his head towards me, and I almost sucked my breath.

His eye color is so gorgeous. It's so chocolatey brown that is so depth, feels like he is entering your soul too.

I bet behind his outfit and glasses, hides a very handsome guy.

I look at the candy bar he's eating and it's almost half, his eyes also look the candy bar and as if realizations hit him, he apologized.

" I-im sorry Sir. I didn't mean to do it. Its just that I am almost throwing up, I had to eat it to prevent it from happening."

"It's okay. I just want to ask though, how did you know I keep my chocolates in there?"

GULF MARCUS

I stiffened.

Why did I just realized my actions now?

This is your first time in his car as Gulf, you idiot!

Think. Think. Think.

Aha!

"Oh, actually, my office mate have the same car as you. That's where he is hiding his food whenever we hangout." Good job Gulf, while tapping my shoulder in my mind.

"Oh, that's why. Your officemate, is it a girl?"

"Oh,it's a guy. Joss. Whenever the company driver is not available and I have a client meeting outside, he's always offering to drive me there. "
