Tyler was already slightly buzzed after drinking for an hour, so when Naya was brought to the lounge, she was startled into a stop when she saw Tyler smile widely at her. She could tell immediately that he was inebriated. 

What she found even more interesting was that he looked even more carefree with the smile on his face. It could also be because he was dressed more casually that night and the earring he had on gave his smile a more sinister charm. His hair that was normally combed back had fallen forward covering his forehead and eyes. The look made him look much younger and relaxed.

"Come sit," Tyler said still maintaining the smile on his face. His eyes lingered for a bit too long on her body as she was dressed differently from what he was used to.

She was wearing a pair of light blue shorts and a white crop top that showed off her smooth stomach, her slim waist and her belly b.u.t.ton.

She had also tied the front of her hair into a high ponytail that fell all the way to the middle of her back while the back fell all the way to her waist and a pair of knee-high boots.

Naya sat next to Tyler on the comfortable sofa and before she could get comfortable, her arm was grabbed and she was pulled closer to Tyler's side. Before she could say anything, she felt one of his arms drape over her shoulders. 

"You sure took your time," Tyler said as he took a sip of his brandy. Naya still wasn't sure about what was happening since Tyler had never actually acted like this with her before so she was still getting over her shock.

"I had to go home first, it's not like I could come here in official wear, besides-" Naya started explaining but was cut short when Tyler buried his face in her neck. Naya could feel the way her blood rushed to her face because of how bold Tyler was being.

"Is there anything you want to drink?" Tyler asked. Naya could feel his warm breath fan against her neck as he talked to her.

"I'll just have what you are having" Naya answered but she could already feel how dry her mouth had become. She couldn't help but think that she was probably too sober for what Tyler was doing to her. Tyler gave her the tumbler he was using for his drink.

"You don't mind, right? Or do you want another gla.s.s?" Tyler asked Naya who still looked fl.u.s.tered. She had already taken the gla.s.s from him, what was the point of him asking her after handing it to her?

"It's alright. How much have you drunk?" Naya asked after taking a sip of the drink.

"I ordered a bottle, I'm not sure if it had been replaced. You smell good" Tyler answered. His last statement almost made Naya choke on her drink. She figured that he might have already finished a bottle and that he was halfway through his second bottle. He was probably really bored as he waited for her to come if he was able to drink so much absentmindedly.

"Can you not be so random?" Naya asked clearly fl.u.s.tered.

"I was just telling the truth," Tyler said and made Naya clutch the gla.s.s she was holding with both hands as she had almost dropped it when she felt his tongue on her neck. Other people would think he was whispering something to her but in reality, he was mercilessly killing her brain cells.

She was glad that they were sitting at the back and the booths afforded them some privacy. Tyler was strangely acting quite touchy with her, she did not hate it but she was definitely not used to it.

She had always been the one who initiated their interactions and he would only then respond to her, as if he was waiting for her to make up her mind that she was sure about what she wanted. So it was new for her that he was the one that was taking the initiative this time. 

She was also really out of her element as she didn't know whether they should stay or if they should leave. It hadn't even been twenty minutes since she had arrived.

"Do you want to stay for longer or should we leave?" Naya asked Tyler who was still nuzzling her neck.

"You just got here, you want to leave already?" Tyler asked as he pulled away from her and carefully looked at her face.

"That's not it, I just thought you would be tired or something" Naya said looking slightly fl.u.s.tered. Tyler smiled as he looked at her face, Naya was once again dumbfounded by how easily Tyler was smiling that night.

She could not see his eyes clearly since they were partially covered by his hair but she could still tell that he was looking at her intently.

"I'm far from tired" Tyler said in rea.s.surance as he stroked her cheek with his thumb. Naya didn't say much more and just nodded in understanding as she looked at the tumbler she was holding.

"Or are you tired and want to go home?" Tyler asked.

"That's not it" Naya rushed to rea.s.sure Tyler.

"Then let's have some fun before we leave hmm?" Tyler said with a smile that Naya couldn't see since he had moved so close to her their noses were touching, so she just nodded dumbly in response. She didn't mind having fun, as long as he stopped being so outrageous.

"That's my girl" Tyler said with a proud smile as if he was actually praising her. At this point Naya was not sure whether she preferred the Tyler who was mostly overbearing and uptight or the friendly Tyler that was also overbearing. 

Both sides were unpredictable and they both had their charms. After some contemplation, she decided that she would make up her mind at the end of the night since it had just started.
