Dwight didn’t respond.
Halsey watched him, noticing how his freshly washed, short hair was still damp, his black T–shirt and pants giving him a more youthful, handsome vibe.
He was an excellent cook, his skills honed from a young age. A man who could cook was undeniably more attractive.
The more Halsey looked at him, the more she found herself drawn to him. “Dwight, why aren’t you talking to me? If you keep ignoring me, I might just have to tickle you.”
Without warning, she reached out and tickled him.
Her soft little hands landed on his toned waist, sending a tingly sensation through him.
Dwight quickly caught both of her flailing wrists with one hand and pushed her firmly against the wall. “What are you doing? Stop it.”
Halsey struggled, trying to pull her hands free. “Why are you being so mean?”
Dwight didn’t let go.
Halsey stood on her tiptoes and quickly kissed him on the lips.
Dwight froze for a moment.
Seeing that he didn’t resist, Halsey grew bolder and leaned in again, kissing him with more confidence.
As their lips met, Dwight’s senses were overwhelmed with the sweet, soft scent of her–so different from the soap he used. Her fragrance was a mix of high–end floral notes, as if she were wrapped in the luxury of expensive perfumes.
Dwight finally released her wrists.
Halsey wrapped her arms around his waist, coaxing his mouth open as she deepened the kiss.
He was cold, distant, and often detached, but when she kissed him, his body heat was undeniable. Halsey couldn’t help but love the feeling of kissing him.
As their kiss continued, Dwight’s body, which had started to calm down, once again became feverish
Just then, Tina’s voice rang out from the other room. “Smells like something’s burning.”
Tina hurried into the kitchen. “Dwight, did you burn the food?”
Tina, unable to see, had entered without knocking, since this was her home.
Halsey, startled, quickly pushed Dwight away, her face turning bright red.
Dwight, with his cool, almost unreadable expression, immediately turned off the stove. “I forgot to turn off the heat. It’s fine.“.
Tina chuckled gently. “Well, be careful.“,
Halsey quickly added, “Mrs. Garner, we were talking, and I think he lost track of time.”
Tina smiled warmly. “That’s alright. You two continue. I’ll step outside for now.”

Once Tina left, Halsey felt the tension in the air, an awkwardness lingering between them. She glanced at Dwight and couldn’t help but notice that his ears had turned red.
He was blushing!
Halsey was surprised. “Are you blushing?”
Dwight quickly denied it. “No.”
Halsey smirked. “You’re definitely blushing! Don’t try to hide it.”
Dwight gave her a look. “Get out.”
“I don’t want to leave. I want to stay with you!”
Halsey wrapped her arms around Dwight from behind.
She was soft and warm, pressing herself against him. Dwight stiffened. “Aren’t you embarrassed, throwing yourself at me?”
Halsey laughed. “Why should I be embarrassed?”
Dwight raised an eyebrow but didn’t answer.
Halsey grinned. “You’re my boyfriend, aren’t you? Isn’t that what couples do? Kiss, hug, spend time together? I’m not embarrassed!!!
Dwight raised an eyebrow. “Who said I’m your boyfriend?”
“But you are!”
“I never agreed to that!”
“Well, I kissed you, and you didn’t reject me. Not once! I keep kissing you, and you keep accepting it. I’m sure you’re into me too!”
Dwight smirked. “Well, you offered yourself, and I’m single–what if I’m just taking advantage of you?”
“So, you’re saying you’re a jerk? If that’s the case, then fine Be a jerk. Come on. Do your worst.”
Halsey knew he wasn’t a jerk.
Dwight had no response.
Just then, Warren Thorpe, Dwight’s friend who always followed him around, entered the room.
“Dwight… Holy crap, where did this stunner come from?”
