"You can just tell me directly." Dos said.
"I'm sorry. I was afraid that you prefer eating outside."
Dos looked at me and gently flicked my forehead making me purse my lips.
"Aren't you cute? I don't mind eating anywhere or anything. What I prefer is as long as you're with me. What are you afraid of?"
How many times does my face heat up because of this man in front of me? He really knows his words.
"So choose, eat me or I'll eat you?" Dos asked with his eyes burning with desire, his lips were curved in a mischievous smile and my throat suddenly felt dry that I had to clear it several times.
"I choose Chinese." I said and turned around, picking my phone and dialled my favourite Chinese restaurant that I often order.
I heard Dos laughed behind me and I shivered and my hairs stood when I felt his warm breath on my nape.
"Spicy chicken for me." He said from behind before hearing him walking back to his room.
I was in a daze when the operator finally answered my call surprising me.

I finished finalizing my thesis and submitted it to my professor thru the mail. I closed my computer and looked at Curtis who was seating on a single settee with his feet raised and playing with his phone.
He was so absorbed that I was curious what he was playing since he played it in a low volume.
It was a MOBA game and Curtis was cursing when his team character died in a clash and his character followed. Curtis looked at me.
"Do you also play this game?" Curtis asked while waiting for his character to respawn.
"I don't play online games." I said.
"Ouh, I thought we could party." Curtis said and turned his attention back to his game.
I watched him play until the end, winning the game after twenty minutes and Curtis stretched his arms. It was fun watching but I have no interest in those kinds of games because it was only a waste of time.
"That was a good game. Do you like to learn playing it?" Curtis enthusiastically asked.
I opened my mouth to refuse when Curtis picked my phone near my computer and gave it to me.
"Open." He said.
I blinked and pressed my finger on the fingerprint scanner then Curtis snatched it back, going to the app store and installing the game. While waiting Curtis scanned my installed apps.
"Your phone is boring. This is the latest model, right? Such a waste." Curtis said as I sat down on the long couch and watched Curtis.
"I'm not good with those games." I said.
"You can learn it. It's so simple. For a smart guy like you, it'll be too easy for you to level up so long as you know how to position your character and when to attack and retreat. You should also know your enemy so you can counter them. It's that simple." Curtis explained and he stood up from the settee and sat down beside me.
Curtis gave me his phone and saw the game interface. Curtis pressed rank mode and play.
"I'll teach you while your phone's downloading the data." Curtis said and he was so close that his scent was all I could smell making me feel dizzy in a pleasant way.
"Okay." I said as if bewitched by the man beside me.
Picking of character and I didn't know who was who.
"What do you prefer? Melee or long-ranged characters?" Curtis asked.
"Long ranged, I guess." I said.
"Click the marksman or magic."
I clicked the marksman and I watched as Curtis was thinking which character is easy to use until he finally picked one.
My fingers were stiff while playing the game that Curtis laughs at me. I was so bad that my teammates were already saying mean things, trash-talking me.
"This is so toxic." I said when one of my teammates chatted to just die and that I was so stupid.
Curtis chuckled. "Who doesn't trash talk? I often do that too, honestly."
It was in the middle of the game when there was going to have a clash in the middle lane and Curtis instructing me to click this and that and explaining its skills and also what items to buy.
"Let me." Curtis said and he circled his arm around my back and held his phone, his hand on top of mine as he maneuvered his phone while explaining this and that and what was happening in the game.
Curtis was so close and our head stuck together. Curtis was so happy when we won the clash, the enemy team were wiped out while our team had two remaining characters including our character. Curtis let me end the game and it was quite fun.
I looked at Curtis when he hasn't let go of my hand and he suddenly took my lips. I was surprised but I regained my wits immediately and kissed him back. Curtis pushed me down the couch, my head on the arms rest as he kissed me urgently.
I roamed my hand and slide it inside his shirt feeling his muscles and it was hot to the touch. My other hand brush past his ass and pressed it on his waist, pulling him closer our crotch brushing at each other making the both of us moan in between our lips.
I long on marking him ever since but I was afraid that Curtis wasn't ready yet so I was waiting for him to take the initiative first and my heart was pounding inside my chest when he kissed me first this time and pushed me down.
I couldn't help but smiled and sucked on his lips.
"I wa—"
I was cut when we heard my phone rang. We looked at each other while the phone was ringing for a long time before it ended then it rang again.
Curtis chuckled and picked my phone, handing it to me.
It was mother calling and it was the first time that I felt mixed emotions towards my mother as I picked the call. I watched as Curtis gestured his finger, pointing upwards and I nodded my head.
