Dylan's POV

We stopped by the convenience store before heading to my house. Throughout the journey, I struggled to contain my nature. Usually, I would laugh heartily with my friends, but Brian's presence had completely changed everything. At times, I couldn't help but steal glances at him. I felt like a teenager experiencing love for the first time.

"Honey, do you want this?" Theressa came up to me and showed me a red box of condoms. I swallowed hard and gave her a smile, "Do you really want me to make you scream using this? Isn't it useless?"

"But it's spiral-shaped; you can go wild with it!" Theressa exclaimed sensually, her hand caressing my lower area playfully.

Yes, although I was aware of my attraction to Brian, I couldn't easily let go of Theressa. Sometimes her wild behavior got me addicted.

"Stop it, Theressa! No, don't do it!" I exclaimed, pushing her hand away.

"Ahem!"

Suddenly, from behind me, Brian cleared his throat as he passed by. I was sure he did it on purpose after seeing Theressa and me engaged in a somewhat naughty act.

"Brian, buy this; you'll definitely like it. I'm sure Ashley will roar with pleasure because of you!" Theressa quipped, giggling.

Brian stopped in his tracks and looked at us. He maintained his usual expression, opened his mouth, and said, "I'm not interested in that game. Besides, what's so great about using that thing? Instead of providing satisfaction, it'll just worsen the mood."

Damn! It felt like he was belittling me. Even his eyes looked at me with a hint of mockery. He better watch out! How dare he act so arrogantly!

"Ugh, such a cocky guy! He may be handsome, but if he's arrogant and hypocritical, no girl would want him. Plus, I wonder why Ashley is so obsessed with him," Theressa grumbled.

I still observed Brian as he moved to the aisle next to us. "Well, he is cold. But sometimes, a cold attitude can be quite attractive to others."

Theressa shrugged her shoulders and walked away from me to look for something else. I kept looking at Brian; our similar heights made it easy for me to see the top of his head from behind. Unfortunately, when I was engrossed in looking at him, his head suddenly turned towards me. Our eyes met, and I immediately lowered my gaze and walked away quickly.

I wanted to hit myself in embarrassment! I didn't want Brian to get a big head and think I was interested in him. But when your heart is filled with curiosity and infatuation, it's hard to control. It's like my head was being remotely controlled by Brian! Slowly, I turned to look at him again.

However, what I found was quite the opposite. Brian was no longer there. Where did he go? I even tiptoed out of curiosity. But he was like the wind, disappearing without a trace.

"What are you looking for?" Suddenly, I heard a voice from beside me, and my eyes widened in shock when I realized it was Brian!

"I was just checking on Sam. Since when have you been standing here?"

I made excuses and replied carelessly, even though Sam and Jeremy were waiting in the car. Yes, I was acting foolish.

"Did I mishear you? You're looking for Sam, right? Isn't Sam in the car? It seems like you're actually looking for the beautiful woman who was there earlier," Brian quipped with his usual expression. He seemed to pick up a bottle of mayonnaise, though I had no idea what he would use it for.

Honestly, when he mentioned the beautiful woman, I couldn't help but wonder if he was referring to himself. But that couldn't be. It was just my overactive imagination.

"Hey, dude! Lower your voice a bit. I don't want Theressa to overhear our conversation. I'm sure every guy wouldn't take their eyes off that beautiful woman from earlier, and you did the same, right?"

Well, I had to go along with the flow that had already been set. At least, I didn't look like a fool. My defense and counter-argument came rather quickly.

"Yeah, I won't say anything and I'll lower my voice. Besides, there's never been a beautiful woman who came over there."

Brian smiled and raised his eyebrows before walking away from me.

What had he just done? Did he understand that I was actually looking at him earlier?!

Twenty minutes later, we finally arrived at my house. Throughout the journey, Brian remained silent and observed the road. He didn't join me and the others in their conversation about various things. I don't know, maybe he needed some time to adapt and fit in. But, to be honest, seeing him so quiet and cold made my heart race even more.

"Honey, can you accompany me to my room for a moment?"

Theressa's voice shattered my reverie. I knew what she wanted. My eyes immediately darted to Brian, who was busy with Jeremy and Ashley, preparing the equipment to make pasta. He didn't see, but I doubted he didn't hear Theressa's whimper.

"Wow, it seems someone can't wait to have some fun," Sam teased with a chuckle.

Theressa responded by rolling her eyes.

"Come on, sit down here for a moment. I know you want some alone time with me, but I also don't want to leave them here. It wouldn't be fair if we're having fun while they're busy preparing for the party."

Theressa, with her seductive gaze, suddenly climbed onto my lap as I sat in the chair. She then exclaimed, "Attention! This kitchen is too quiet. Do you want to see a performance?"

"Theressa! Stop it!" I snapped. But she didn't care. Meanwhile, cheers from Sam and the others rang out. They were obviously in support of Theressa doing anything. To them, this was quite normal. But I didn't want Brian to see it!

"We need something hot, go for it!" Jeremy shouted enthusiastically.

Theressa gave a thumbs-up and, without my consent, she passionately kissed me. Yes! I couldn't even breathe. I was so angry and frustrated. Why did she have to do this in front of Brian?
