I instantly froze.

His large hands wrapped around my torso but mines were like stones. Not moving by my side. I tried to process the moment, taking in his scent, so manly. The small details in his face, light blue eyes, thick eyebrows, pointy nose.

Then it stopped. Clearing his throat, Garrett pulled away from the hug I didn't return, why didn't I?! So... What am I supposed to do now?

"I-Uh... wanna come in?" I asked hesitant. Why am I forgiving him so fast? He will probably say no any-

"Yeah, Sure." My thoughts were interrupted by his voice, I saw a faint smile on him and I couldn't help but smile as well. We both went in, and I threw my bag onto a small table on the entrance. I looked around, listening carefully to see if there wasn't anyone around. Thankfully no one's home.

I turned to look at Garrett who was lost observing everything around. How cute. Ugh, I need to stop, I have seen his bad side, he just showed it to me, and I'm sure don't I wanna see it ever again. What guarantees me that he won't do it again?

I sighed, clearing my throat to get his attention. "You can sit if you want to, I'll make some lunch since we didn't get to eat anything at Rusty's." I chuckled, no humor shown though. Garrett looked away, as if he wanted to forget what had happened. Without any other word, I left to the kitchen, then I looked around for ingredients to make some food.

He sat on one of the stools on the kitchen island, while I made lunch. I could feel his intense staring while I moved around the kitchen, but I didn't date to look back at him. I wonder what's he thinking of.

Do I have something on me?

Is he planning how to kill me?

Is he admiring my beauty?

Okay probably the second one, I wonder if he's ever gonna speak or he will just sit there and-

"Sorry, If you're not using me, why do you talk to me?" His voice caught me off guard. Making me jump lightly as he scared me. But I heard his words clearly.

"Are you serious? This is like the millionth time you've asked that, and I already answered it." I rolled my eyes, it was seriously starting to get annoying.

"I know okay... it's just.... nevermind." He huffed loudly as if his thoughts were dying to just come out but something just wouldn't let them be free.

I sighed softly, "have you never had a friend before? Seriously why do people talk to each other Garrett?" I rolled my eyes once again. Seriously I'm sure he has a friend, who he speaks to because he feels comfortable around that person. It isn't that hard?

"Not.. really.." He mumbled. Oh... Wow now I feel like crap for treating him like that.

What do I do?!

Intense silence filled the room once again, this time the tension was thick, almost tangible. Garrett stirred uncomfortably on his seat as I finished lunch. We stayed like that until I finished everything, serving the food in two plates.

I took the plates to the table where Garrett sat, then I sat beside him, taking a look at him before saying.

"Well, I'll gladly be your very first friend." I smiled widely, all he did was look back at me , and nod slowly.

I took my plate digging into the delicious food, I couldn't help the moan that escaped my lips as tasted the magnificent meal

Hours had passed, Garrett and I talked, talked, and talked more. I really enjoyed it. We tried watching a movie, but most of the time we would just ignore it and talk to each other.

I got to know a side of him I did not think I'd get to know, after the incident at Rusty's. He did not open up about personal stuff, and I kinda get it. We just met, and I wouldn't want him to feel pushed to tell me every little detail about his life.

But I will remember. His favorite color is blue. He doesn't listen much music, he's afraid of bugs, his eyes lit up whenever he speaks about science.

Gosh I seriously need to stop. We just met and He already hurt me once. I hate that I get attached so easily...

I won't get attached to Garrett. And that's a promise.
